Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 933 Preparation To Counterattack

Ancestor Tirea Snow inwardly felt disgusted for their constant yet selfish favor and the gaze in their eyes, which looked at her in a way that she didn't like even a single bit. She didn't want their favor if she had to cozy up to them and become one of their woman in the end. She felt that she'd rather remain faithful to the Falling Snow Sect and remain pure till the end of her life.

Bu then, why did she liked it a bit when she was called Tirea by him the second time?

'Maybe it was the same for the first time as well, no?'

Ancestor Tirea Snow heavily frowned at her own thoughts as she couldn't understand before she shook it away in a flash with her willpower.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim chuckled in an amicable light at Davis before turning to look in the northern direction, the figure of the Aqua Flood Dragon, as well as the fleeing dot, becoming visible in the distance to his eyes.

'So it's Elise Alstreim...' He identified the woman to be another Grand Elder of the Alstreim Family!

He was wondering why she was missing in the Grand Welcoming Hall that was active a week and a half ago, but he now understood why.

'To think she was at the Grand Alstreim Ocean all this time... but for what reason?'

Ancestor Dian Alstreim didn't think much before sending a soul transmission to every Grand Elder who was watching the scene from below. Two external Ninth Stage Powerhouses had appeared in their city, so why wouldn't they appear?

Except, they were irrelevant at that time, and it was not their place to interfere in matters between Ninth Stage Powerhouses.

The Grand Elders headed to the northern direction upon receiving instructions from Ancestor Dian Alstreim. They split up, leaving behind only three Grand Elders, along with the Patriarch. One of the three Grand Elders was none other than Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim. He frowned at the known knowledge of the Aqua Flood Dragon that was in pursuit of a woman from the Alstreim Family. He inwardly cursed such a woman for existing and bringing a calamity to the Alstreim Family, that was until he found out that...

"Daughter!?"

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's expression became a sight to behold as his face became deathly pale while his mouth became agape. His Mature Soul Stage soul sense caught sight of his wounded daughter, Grand Elder Elise Alstreim, miserably escaping from the giant Aqua Flood Dragon. He practically went dull in disbelief of such a sight.

Patriarch Eldric Alstreim, who was beside frowned as his heart skipped a beat, "Daughter? Grandfather! What do you mean... daughter!?"

He lost his bearings and practically went crazy as he asked with wide eyes.

"It's... It's Elise!"

Patriarch Eldric Alstreim's magnificent purple pupils dilated into two tiny dots.

"Mother!!!"

With a heart-stricken scream, he rushed into the northern direction.

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim instantly regained his bearings as he followed suit with even greater speed, his face practically spitting flames as he imagined the sight of his daughter being swallowed by Aqua Flood Dragon.

*Rumble!~*

Suddenly, immense pressure landed on both of them, causing them to come to a stop as their legs almost bent from the pressure soul force, combined with the ninth stage law rune essence energy suppressing them!

"Ancestor! What is the meaning of this!!!?" Patriarch Eldric Alstreim screamed in retaliation.

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim also intensely and rebelliously gazed at Ancestor Dian Alstreim while struggling to break the immense pleasure cast at them.

"Silence!"

*SHHH~*

Patriarch Eldric Alstreim and Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim both became taken aback, wondering why they had just tried to go against their Ancestor and why they were being held back when they suddenly recalled that it was because of Elise Alstreim. However, they were no longer hasty and became somber enough to think rationally.

'A soul art to make their mind calm...' Davis mused.

"Don't be so hasty. Elise Alstreim... your daughter, has already sacrificed her blood essence to escape and is heading towards here right now. She knows that she will be able to live if she returns to the Grand Alstreim Family with the help of me and the formations established here. Are you two going to intercept her and die along with her?"

Patriarch Eldric Alstreim lowered his head as he suppressed himself.

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim nodded his head, and only then did he feel that the suppression was removed from their bodies. They regained balance and took a deep breath to completely calm themselves down as they also raised that they cannot be hasty in this manner.

"Don't let her sacrifice of blood essence be in vain. If you want to take revenge, take a position in the Eight Ashfall Arms Formation."

Patriarch Eldric Alstreim and Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's eyes gleamed. They listened and headed towards the northern direction to take a position.

Davis looked at them in scrutiny, thinking that they at least did not cower out, becoming too afraid to battle. Heck, from the looks of it, they were ready to give up their own lives.

This made him recall about what Ancestor Dian Alstreim said to him about close family members who would challenge him to life and death battle until he was exhausted to death, not that he particularly cared since he possessed the same old method to kill them all in an instant, but he still nodded his head in recognition.

Davis blinked as he felt something... It was that feeling again. That feeling where he stood on the top and judged all others as if he stood at the top.

The modern world him told him not to be judgmental, but in this cultivation world, you judge all the others, or the others will judge you till you kill yourself out of shame even if you have not done anything wrong. At least, that is what he learned by traveling around the First Layer.

In the Grand Sea Continent, almost no one dared to judge him anyway because of his status as an imperial prince! However, he was a person of lower status here when he first arrived, and everyone kept judging him until he made them aware that he cannot be underestimated and stood over their heads.

'Then...'

He raised his head and looked at the enlarging figure of the Aqua Flood Dragon. As each second passed, its figure became more and more clear to him.

Its large bright eyes possessed blue reptile-like pupils that intently focused on the fleeing human, and its nose, which was slightly elongated, breathed out a cold type of smoke. Its jaws were slightly agape, revealing its two rows of razor-sharp teeth and its long purple tongue while two big and long fangs were sticking out from its mouth in an intimidating manner.

It possessed a serpent's body, its dark blue scales shining a bluish-orange tint under the light of dusk. A white-blue coat of fur adorned its neck, giving it a regal look. Its body stretched to the end before it's small tail appeared, flailing around in the air as it flew chasing around, but it was also shrouded by a bit of fog, making the tail's visibility lessen.

Judging by the size of the Aqua Flood Dragon, it was around two hundred and fifty meters long!

Davis widened his eyes as he looked at the incoming Aqua Flood Dragon. It was his first time seeing a magical beast that was this massive in size!

However, he was also excited to think that if he could also judge its life and death as he sees fit in the future!

"Prepare the Volcanic Crystal Wall Barrier Formation!" Ancestor Dian Alstreim raised a shout as he arrived at the northern border of the Grand Alstreim City.
