Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 3702  Luminous Temple's Fall

In Davis's mansion, at the newly built terrace on the top of the building, many people were still there, watching the projection.

"Yay!"

Eterna and Celestia jumped in joy as they saw their mothers reunite.

Looking at their faces blossoming, Bylai and the others also heaved a sigh of relief.

This whole time, these two girls had solemn expressions on their faces, appearing worried about their mothers.

Davis's soul body was also here, so he began to reach out to them about the cruelty of the world. He reiterated how the chances they would die rose higher every time they left home and became even more dangerous at secret realms and competitions like the one their mothers were attending.

Celestia had cried about why Davis sent them while still knowing it was dangerous.

He turned speechless but then made them understand that even if he wasn't okay with it, it was their choice and as cultivators, he should support their ventures or adventures as much as he could. He reassured that they wouldn't die and even if they did, that he would save them.

"No, father doesn't care about them!"

However, Celestia screamed at him and ran away.

"…"

Davis's expression wilted. He was a bit saddened but knew Celestia didn't mean it. It was normal that she worried about her mother, who kept getting hunted down, and he wasn't there to protect her. If it was Logan watching Claire suffer on a screen while having with his other wives, he would be royally pissed too.

The anger he had quenched was also returning to him every time he saw Girias and Harmon. If they were in front of him, he would commit war crimes on them and take his time torturing them to his heart's content.

He turned to look at Eterna, who raised her hand and patted her chest, telling him to leave Celestia to her.

After some time, Eterna brought Celestia back, and soon, they saw their mothers reunite, becoming overjoyed.

Celestia looked timid, but she eventually apologized for screaming at him and crying in his arms.

Davis couldn't help but smile as he patted her head.

Celestia was a good girl who was serious and wasn't as flexible as Eterna. That difference also made them mature at different levels.

He picked both Celestia and Eterna up and even placed Aurelia on his head, leaving to play with them.

Sometime later, their members who left for an incursion finally returned.

Tanya, Mira, and Tia descended from a flying boat.

They landed on the terrace and reported on their achievements.

Apparently, the Luminous Temple, hidden in a mini realm, had many defenses in place.

From entrapment formations to even a Level Nine Immortal Emperor old fogey was waiting for them, but in front of Mira's rampage, none of them were a match.

In short, all twelve Immortal Emperors from the Luminous Temple had been killed by them and their treasury plundered by Tia while Tanya led the way, protecting her.

"And that's not all-" Tanya added, "It took a bit of effort to calm Mira as she forced the Earth Dragon Clan's battleship to head towards the Dark Moon Lightning Serpent Clan and killed a few of their Immortal Emperors and laid waste to their structures. She could see her mistress was harassed by that hateful Girias again and again, after all. Afterward, I had to stop her from going to the Soul-Devouring Blood Vulture Clan and making a mess there, so it took some time to return."

Everyone turned to look at Mira, but she simply harrumphed, "Death to those who want my Mistress to die!"

"That's good." Mingzhi nodded, "However, we shouldn't be killing off those who surrendered when they were offered the chance. That's worse than being bandits."

"Don't care~"

Mira still looked away.

"Yeah, we don't care about that, but you ruined Davis's reputation because he gave their word that he wouldn't attack them after the Dark Moon Lightning Serpent Clan publicly announced to condemn and execute Girias."

Mingzhi coldly uttered, causing Mira to finally shudder. She turned to look at Mingzhi and lowered her head.

"I… I'm sorry."

"…"

Mingzhi softened her expression and patted Mira's shoulder, "Next time, know that your actions will make him responsible as well."

"Mhm~ I'm… sorry…" Mira apologized again, causing Mingzhi to giggle.

"But what you did there was music to my ears. Well done. I'll tell you he's letting them go easily. They're lucky because Davis has some appearance to maintain in the world. Otherwise, they would all gang up on us. Earlier, there were some stupid yet weak righteous sects in front of our city gates, demanding Davis's head. However, Yotan made sure to send their heads back to their sects."

"Oh?"

Tanya's brows raised, "Can I know which sects are involved?"

"Leave it. They're taken care of. The current Reaper Soul Legion can take down any power below major powers, so there's no need to involve ourselves or our husband in everything that comes our way to court death."

"No, I meant if they were weak sects, surely, someone would've lit their backs to do it."

"Precisely," Mingzhi's gaze brightened as she approved of Tanya, but she shook her head, "Through soulscouring them, all we could tell was that it was a mysterious black-robed man and nothing else. Such a person or multiple of them may be trying to bring us down, so I don't think it was just one power."

"I see." Tanya looked into the distance, "I'll maintain a lookout as well."

She closed her eyes, sensing many undulations reverberate throughout the mansion, especially in the training grounds courtyard. It seems that their were many avatars of her sisters battling and gaining experience.

'Sure enough. They aren't just sitting here…'

Tanya also wanted to join, but if she did, she was afraid everyone else would just leave, and she would offend them. After all, on the same level and in terms of skill, her attack power was the strongest with the Frigid Veil Sword Style. Of course, this excluded Davis, Myria, and perhaps-

'Big sister…'

Tanya pursed her lips as she looked at the projection and saw those scythes. They were natural disasters, not only sharp and deadly but also poisonous.

"By the way, where is darling? Why are you in your soul body?" She noticed she couldn't sense Mingzhi's avatar anywhere.

"What do you think?" Mingzhi asked with her brows raised, her expression sensual.

Tanya raised her brows, "He finally stopped worrying to death about them?"

"You would think." Mingzhi scoffed, "I mean, he did finally look at us and adhered to our needs, but when the three of them reunited, he shot the biggest nut he could after so many loads~ Ah~ I'm so jealous of Yilla. You should've seen the expression she made at that moment…"

"Nut…?"

Tanya's cheeks twitched while turning rosy. Leaving her imagination, she couldn't keep up with the new words Mingzhi introduced every now and then, causing her to shake her head.

"In any way, we can also relax since the three of them reunited. Now, even if it is dangerous, I believe they can overcome any odds if they're together."

"Yes!~ The Candidacy is starting to go well for us after numerous dangers and most importantly…"

"The Gilded Realm Ascendant Pills…"

Tanya gasped.

The inheritors may not know Evelynn, and the others possessed nine of them, but the entire First Haven World sure was capable of knowing it. As long as they were watching Evelynn, Isabella, and Shirley, they would know what kind of pills they possess.

Shirley even gave a speech about it when trying to save Dewzai.

Now, they may not only be targeted because they were a family of Divergents but also because they would come to possess truly powerful treasures, nine that would shake the entire Celestial Transcendent Galaxy, so why wouldn't these First Haven World powers try not to gang up on them?

"Well, leave it. It's not a problem right now." Mingzhi shrugged and whispered into Tanya's ears intentionally, blowing her sweet breath.

"Good sister, Natalya, Yilla, Iesha, and I had fun for two days straight. Natalya and Iesha missed you. Are you sure you do not want to join in on the fun?"

"Mingzhi, you vixen…" Tanya stiffened.

She felt her lower body tremble, but she kept her face straight, shaking her head, "Four is already too many. I will join when the time comes."

"Aiya~ All I'm saying is it would be time for us to stop soon as Bylai and the others keep asking if it is over, so make sure you're on the next list. Otherwise, if you lose your chance, don't blame him for not taking care of you."

"…"

Tanya's gaze flickered. She was tempted.

However, she also didn't want to ruin or take anyone's time.

"Davis will make many concessions for you, even have you alone in the bed. After all, he hurt you~"

Mingzhi whispered again like the devil, causing Tanya to gasp.

"No, I will not take advantage of such underhanded methods. Besides, he has already apologized for it many times. It is no longer an issue for me."

Mingzhi's lips couldn't help but curl as she stepped back but smirked in a wicked manner, "Such an honorable woman, but I'm no such thing. I'd be sure to throw that on his face at least three times to get what I want, but hey- it's your call."

"…"

Tanya trembled. She really was tempted.

Nonetheless, looking up at the projection once again, her focus fell on the Immortal Dreams Palace. There, she saw the rankings as well as the number of Candidates remaining.

The last time she had seen it, there were seven hundred and sixty-eight Candidates left.

But now…

[Candidates: 449]

The fact so many had died in a mere half a day was something she didn't expect at all. Of course, some could've left the Crystal World, but with the way she heard it, many who remained at the Immortal King Stage were killed, leaving mostly Immortal Emperors alive.

She was worried for Isabella and the others, but since they were now protected by Immortal Emperors, she could finally put her worry to rest, thinking of Davis in her heart.
