Chapter 3867 Apprehended?

"!"

Autarch Yulan Nazarin looked at Clara in shock.

Unlike the others, he was mostly unaware of the Divine Emperor of Death's family. All he knew was the appearance and a few extra details, like the faces of a few of his wives who came to the Astral Forgeheart Minor Realm.

That information had spread even in the Upper Realms since the Astral Forgeheart Minor Realm had been owned by the Astral Pill Upper Realm and Forgeheart Peak Upper Realm. They made sure to spread the details of the calamity so he could be caught sooner.

However, he was unaware that the Divine Emperor of Death had such a little sister. He had doubted her since she had similar features, but rather than a genuine doubt, he thought of it as more of a coincidence.

After all, having blonde hair and purple eyes was not something unique in the huge universe. More than that, what are the chances she was related to an Anarchic Divergent when she was a Heaven's Warrior?

It was practically zero, since he had never heard of such a case. This was the first he had ever encountered in his lifetime, bringing an absolute bolt of shock that halted his thought process as he blankly looked at Clara.

"Autarch Yulan Nazarin. You said you met her in the Dark-Winged Tiger Lower Realm, on a flying s.h.i.+p. Most likely, that flying s.h.i.+p was where the Divine Emperor of Death was present. It's a pity that she hampered your search by stepping out first and misleading you to leave."

Empyrean Miller Skyrend shook his head.

""

His words made Autarch Yulan Nazarin come out of his reverie.

He turned his body as he gazed at Clara, "Is that true, your majesty?"

Clara stared back at him, "Indeed."

"!!!"

Clamor erupted within the hall as everyone was astounded by her admission. They couldn't believe a Heaven's Warrior was admitting to helping out an Anarchic Divergent escape. It was inconceivable, provoking pandemonium at the scene.

"Your majesty, won't you make yourself more clear?" Autarch Yulan Nazarin pleaded.

He looked unsure, still unable to believe.

"I have my own thoughts about this matter since he is my big brother who has always protected me, even after I tried to kill a Divergent in the family. Whether my brother dies or lives is up to the heavens up to me."

Clara's gaze flashed purple.

Her Transcendent Truth Eyes glowed, exuding the aura of mandate, which made the others narrow their brows.

Empyrean Miller Skyrend's eyes narrowed. The heavens didn't show disapproval for her actions? Otherwise, how is she still able to use the aura of mandate to this level? Her heavenly aura was off the charts, equaling that of the younger Transcendent Truth Eyes' owners he had seen in the past, or perhaps even more.

It was quite the conundrum.

"Now, do away with me as you please."

Clara waved her hand, "I care not where I am arrested or executed. However, I will say that I was true to myself and lived a just life. I won't allow the others to say that I have sinned, for my brother has never willfully committed evil."

Empyrean Miller Skyrend shook his head, "It doesn't matter if an Anarchic Divergent has not done evil. Unfortunately, their presence isn't welcome in the universe. Just by the sin of calling calamities near them, they are inherently evil, just like a cursed object. Although you're more of a spokesperson for the heavens than us, you are still young. Mistakes do happen. You will understand in the future that some things can't be avoided or saved, even if you want to seek redemption for them. Your big brother is a lost cause."

""

Clara's gaze flashed as she glared at him.

At this moment, Autarch Yulan Nazarin intervened.

"Empyrean Miller Skyrend, it is possible the Divine Emperor of Death manipulated her majesty, imprinting false memories and using her to fulfill his ambitions in order to stay free of her retaliation. It is possible that she was taken emotional advantage of by using familial relations."

"That is possible." Empyrean Miller Skyrend smiled at the other person.

He knew Autarch Yulan Nazarin was willing to become her retainer, as he made his intentions about her clear from the get-go, as though it were a prestigious position to have. It was indeed a prestigious position to have, to serve a heaven's chosen, but after hearing what he heard, he wasn't so sure.

He opened his mouth, "However, I have also heard it is nothing like that. Isn't that right, Regalanius?"

""

Clara's eyes widened ever so lightly as she turned to look at a person who walked towards her from the crowd.

It was none other than the Heaven Mandate Emperor from the Grand Beginnings Continent, her teacher.

Instantly, Clara knew why Empyrean Miller Skyrend addressed her as Clara Loret instead of Clara Alstreim. Only someone like the Heaven Mandate Emperor knew of her true origin, rather than the people in the First Haven World.

Even if they had seen and spoken with her, they only knew her by her affiliation with the Alstreim Family and not the Loret Family.

Only someone like the Heaven Mandate Emperor, with whom she shared a teacher-student relations.h.i.+p, would know so much about her.

Nonetheless, this finally fixed the puzzle for her. If she had lied again, she was indeed gone without a hint of doubt, but since she had told the truth, they were still debating how to deal with her. She felt a sense of relief, knowing that she had been honest.

No, rather than relief, she felt a sense of pride. She had nothing to lie about as the one who possessed the Transcendent Truth Eyes.

Heaven Mandate Emperor, Regalanius's bearing was good, but he lowered his head in front of them all and cupped his hands.

"Venerable Heaven's Warriors, I, Regalanius, am a pract.i.tioner of Mandate Laws. Although I practice Mandate Laws, the heavenly influence I possess is nowhere near that of my student Clara. I cannot even be called a Heaven's Warrior. I am just a cultivator who knows Mandate Laws due to the acc.u.mulated knowledge of my Heaven Mandate Temple's Ancestors."

"When the Divine Emperor of Deathno, he was just the Emperor of Death at that time came to visit us, we were suspicious of his intentions. But later, he allowed his younger sister into my tutelage so that she could make full use of her powers and prosper. He didn't restrict her movements other than wanting her to remain safe. If that isn't a loving brother, I don't know who that is."

"You heard him."

Empyrean Miller Skyrend turned to look at Autarch Yulan Nazarin, "The Divine Emperor of Death is a peculiar Anarchic Divergent. Powers that are at odds with him have pointed out some of his negative traits, but there are just as many positive ones. He doesn't wish harm to his family members and takes care of them with the utmost importance. Even now, he's on his way here to save his friends, isn't he?"

""

Autarch Yulan Nazarin's eyes widened.

Clara's flying s.h.i.+p was indeed heading towards the Whispering Wildlands Lower Realm, which connects to the Lightning Kirin Lower Realm and finally the Azure Tree Lower Realm. From there, they need to head to the Obsidian Crystal Turtle Minor Realm, but the pathway fits.

If that were the case, then he could understand why there would be fewer chances for Clara to be manipulated.

It was more likely she was protected since users of the Transcendent Truth Eyes, more or less, would have a harsh environment that ends them earlier before they mature, not to mention a tough upbringing due to their strange heavenly nature devoid of human emotions at such a young age.

"Then what should we do?" Autarch Yulan Nazarin asked for advice.

"Do nothing."

Empyrean Miller Skyrend was about to answer, but a cold voice interrupted him. Both of them turned to look at Clara.

"Since my big brother's coming here, why not just meet him here and decide his fate? In all these years you warriors have lived, have you all been sunken enough to hold his friends hostage and act like villains, using devious means to hunt him down despite calling for the righteous to gather?"

Clara's gaze flashed purple as she asked questions in an inquisitive tone. Her heavenly aura burdened the two powerful cultivators, making them narrow their brows while the others, like the realm officials, were dumbfounded.

What arrogance! It was just like they had heard in the past rumors of the heaven born rulers.

A person with the Transcendent Truth Eyes Heavenly Physique practically feared nothing!
