Chapter 2877 Scheming Woman?

""

Davis read the entire Blood Soul Contract with unblinking eyes. Only after he read did he blink. As s.h.i.+rley said, there were some concerning points, but they weren't that restrictive and would exist in any power.

However, he frowned. Was the Fire Phoenix Clan really not after s.h.i.+rley in a predatory manner as he expected?

Was it just that idiot Lars Zenflame wanting s.h.i.+rley?

But, looking at Patriarch Killian Zenflame's smile, he inward shook his head. He could never trust that b.a.s.t.a.r.d's smile. Although he had a facial structure that could be said to be drop-dead gorgeous for any woman, he could never trust that smile, but the point remained that he didn't see any dislikeable points other than the clause that she could remarry and have children, but that was also understandable.

Even his child was mentioned and was taken care of.

It seemed like the Blood Soul Contract was tailored to be truly fair on the account that he had died. Or else, it was unknown what kind of restrictions they could have placed on him.

But still, he knew this would not convince s.h.i.+rley as they just had some teaching from Ellia that things could always be

"Is this a fake Blood Soul Contract?"

s.h.i.+rley opened her mouth, asking the Fire Phoenix Clan without hesitation in her eyes.

Everyone turned to look at her as though they were looking at a foolish person.

Would the Fire Phoenix Clan dare cheat anyone here, much less a junior? With all the witnesses watching, would they go back on their words?

Even if they were to be the lowest of the low in the Phoenix Alliance, they could not possibly stoop that low. Even the other Phoenix Clans were offended in their stead, wondering who this woman thought she was.

She wasn't questioning the Fire Phoenix Clan but also the other phoenix clans, making them annoyed, even offended.

However, Great Ancestor Zenflame only wryly smiled.

"Fourth Inheritor s.h.i.+rley's doubt is understandable since this concerns your future. However, fret not, as you have my word, this is a genuine Blood Soul Contract made from the feathers of an Immortal Emperor Beast Fire Phoenix of old times. These feathers have the hope of the Fire Phoenix Clan embedded in them, so it has all the more meaning to be used on this day to have your soul mark on it."

s.h.i.+rley lightly nodded her head and then lowered it as she still thought about what to do.

She turned to look at Isabella and saw her shake her head as well, indicating that she didn't see anything strange.

Turning to look back, she saw her sisters also shake their heads. No one noticed anything strange on the Blood Soul Contract.

"Is everything alright?"

Hirona asked in a soothing tone, causing s.h.i.+rley to look at her wryly smile.

"You people win."

She shook her head, causing smiles to light up on every Fire Phoenix Clan member. However, the crowd wasn't so joyous, feeling that something was lacking. Where was the drama they were promised? Was the Emperor of Death truly dead?

It seems as though it is true.

Davis also scrutinized the Blood Soul Contract but couldn't find anything strange with karmic gaze only for a single moment, but he didn't see any karmic threads connected to it yet, which meant that it wasn't active, obviously but if it was fake and connected to another Blood Soul Contract, it would be clear.

However, such a thing couldn't be seen, leaving him sighing gently.

'Perhaps, there is no need for me to make a move, after all...'

Davis imagined. However, his expression scrunched, still unable to believe that he was drugged and had his seeds stolen. It was the most embarra.s.sing moment of his life, period, making him feel like he must kill the perpetrator to get rid of this embarra.s.sment.

Nonetheless, he saw s.h.i.+rley raise her hand, about to sign the Blood Soul Contract. Her finger reached forward to the flying parchment when suddenly-

"Pfft! Ahahaha!" A resounding laughter echoed throughout the silent hall.

It seemed to have been suppressed at first since it exploded with such momentum, shocking all the people.

Just as they wondered who would dare to laugh like this at this important moment, they saw that it was the Blazing Thunderlight Sect's Founder. She seemed to have gone crazy as she threw her head and laughed crazily, her bosoms shaking along with her hectic movements.

""

Davis's expression twitched. Everyone's expression twitched.

What was wrong with this woman?

"Ah ah that's right." She finally stopped laughing, seeming to catch her breath, "It smells. Smells I dare you to sign that contract, s.h.i.+rley whatever."

""

Quickly, s.h.i.+rley's brows frowned. What was going on?

"Blazing Thunderlight Sect's Founder, would you keep your ramblings to yourself? Can't you see that we're at an important part?"

Great Ancestor Zenflame frowned.

"Yes, yes~" The Blazing Thunderlight Sect's Founder grinned, "This is an important part, very much so~ However, I wonder if she dares sign it. Amusing. Very amusing, indeed. Hehe~"

He frowned again, thinking that this was utterly distasteful, before turning to look at s.h.i.+rley.

"Fourth inheritor, she's just creating confusion and doubt in your heart. Please don't be shaken."

"True, even back then, she was a scheming woman who everyone feared." Hirona voiced out before turning to look at another person.

"Third inheritor Sierra, have you met her?"

"No. Her time roaming around the First Haven World was short, but it seems the rumors about her were true."

""

s.h.i.+rley gazed at the three of them and Blazing Thunderlight Sect's Founder, thinking that the situation had become more complicated than it was.

"Now, go on. Sign the Blood Soul Contract." The Blazing Thunderlight Sect's Founder smirked as she reclined and put her legs over one another.

"Or, you can try burning it~"

"What!?"

"Blasphemy!"

"You dare state such nonsense!?"

Instantly, many people from the Phoenix Alliance started pointing at her and cursing her. However, the Blazing Thunderlight Sect's Founder didn't seem to mind, still smiling behind her veil against all the curses she received.

"Burn it."

Abruptly, a firm voice echoed out, causing the crowd to become silent.

"Saint?"

Great Ancestor Zenflame turned to look at Saint Mo Tian, his eyes blinking as he couldn't believe what he had just worded out. The others also looked at him with shock, particularly the Starlight Jade Wolf King and Golden Crow Clan's Patriarch, not expecting to open his mouth at this moment.

Davis raised his head, turning to look at the Fire Phoenix Clan.

"What? Does the Fire Phoenix Clan lacks Blood Soul Contracts of the Immortal Emperor Grade?"

"Saint Mo Tian," The Fire Phoenix Clan's Patriarch, Killian Zenflame, stepped up, "I understand your genuine concern when it comes to the safety of other people, but that isn't the point. This Blood Soul Contract has received all the blessings-"

"s.h.i.+rley, burn it."

Davis spoke again, causing s.h.i.+rley's gaze to flicker as she quickly turned around and reached out her hand.

*Ssszzz!~*

Scarlet phoenix flames surged out from her hands, flying straight toward the Blood Soul Contract.

*Bfff~*

However, a person abruptly appeared before the Blood Soul Contract, blocking s.h.i.+rley's fire phoenix flames as though they were nothing.

"!"

Many people were shocked, seeing that it was Grand Elder Seil Zenflame of the Fire Phoenix Clan. An Immortal Emperor had stepped in to protect the Blood Soul Contract from being burned, causing countless jaws to drop.

But at the same time, an elder from the Aurora Cloud Gate abruptly appeared before s.h.i.+rley, catching Grand Elder Seil Zenflame's hands.

s.h.i.+rley's hands went wide, taking back her hand as she was also burning Elder Aradiel Furiose along with Grand Elder Seil Zenflame, but as expected, her flames affected neither of them as they completely ignored her, staring at each other.

"What's the meaning of this?" Grand Elder Seil Zenflame's voice became cold.

"I could ask you the same thing. Why did you move when there were others nearby?"

Elder Aradiel Furiose asked in a calm voice, continuing to hold Grand Elder Seil Zenflame's hand. The other party was shocked, feeling the immense strength disallowing him to move his hand while extraordinary pressure also weighed down on him.

"Outrageous! Immortal Emperors are banned from making a move here. Both of you, step out!"

A Grand Elder from the Earth Dragon Clan appeared on the stage, but he was at the edge, roaring at the two of them as he tried to protect Isabella as he was also near to her.

"Burn? You're truly burning it? Fine, if that's what you want to be satisfied with I'll do it."

Great Ancestor Zenflame kept nodding his head at s.h.i.+rley as he walked towards the Blood Soul Contract. However, he was suddenly stopped by Patriarch Killian Zenflame, his eyes having a cold look to them.

Instantly, Great Ancestor Zenflame frowned.

"Do it." He commanded when the sound of fingers snapping was heard.

*Sssz!~*

The Blood Soul Contract instantly lit up in phoenix flames from both sides, causing Patriarch Killian Zenflame to be shocked as he turned to look back, gazing at Hirona and Sierra having both lit the Blood Soul Contract in flames from a distance.

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but tremble, from the young s.h.i.+rley to the high and mighty Great Ancestor Zenflame, the latter trembling heavily before he opened his mouth wide and bellowed out loud.

"Killian, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d! How dare you!?"

As everyone saw the Blood Soul Contract that had been lit in phoenix flames, it didn't completely burn out but instead started revealing another layer of paper that revealed a new set of words.
