Chapter 2028: Visitors

Davis and Ellia were still seated at their location in Isabella's Golden Palace.

Both of them refused to talk until they both confirmed that the Vast Sky Emperor had died.

Ellia came to know of it as she sensed her death curse seed dissipate instead of disappearing, making it known to her that the Vast Sky Emperor was killed.

Davis nodded and confirmed that he killed the Vast Sky Emperor. Ellia didn't bother about the method he used and smiled at him for successful mission completion. After all, if the Vast Sky Emperor had escaped, it would be bad for all three of them.

But at this moment, Davis's brows widened.

"Hmm? It seems like your Mystic Ice Sect has paid a visit to my Alstreim Family. You do have some loyal people under your wings."

Davis chuckled before Ellia deeply smiled, "Let me tell my magical beasts to stay clear. They will not enter your Alstreim Family but remain outside."

"Sure. I'll go bring the Mystic Ice Sect maidens here since they are desperate enough to come here without knowing what had happened. You'll obediently stay here, right?"

"Of course!~"

Ellia echoed, "Myria accepts too."

"…"

A silent flabbergasted voice emanated in Ellia's soul sea.

Davis nodded twice before he disappeared. A few minutes later, he appeared with five maidens following him. They were accompanied by the Obsidian Crystal Turtle, a King Tier Peak-Level Emperor Beast Stage Magical Beast, one of Myria's pets.

However, the Obsidian Crystal Turtle left obediently after Davis received the guests.

The five of them possessed unsure expressions on their faces before they finally saw Myria seated on a sofa. However, she was without her veil, making them startled as they had only seen her face once or twice.

What did this mean? Was she being held captive by the Emperor of Death?

'No way… Myria lost…?'

Their hearts shook.

They had already heard from that turtle that Myria was alive but remained in the direction of the Alstreim Family. However, if she was alive and unable to contact them, they felt worried for her safety as someone could take advantage of her if she was in a weak state and needed their help.

Unable to suppress their worry, they forcefully left the jurisdiction of the magical beasts protecting them, and the turtle followed them here until it returned back obediently.

However, what they saw here was a Myria with a faint smile on her face. It was as though she was not worried about being taken advantage of or rather looked like she was at home.

But at this moment, she opened her mouth.

"You all… there was no need for you have to come here."

Davis saw that Ellia seamlessly switched with Myria and the latter sounded… heartened?

"We believe that the Emperor of Death isn't a bad person." Sect Master Bing Luli shook her head, "Besides, we could be said to be in an amicable relationship. Therefore, there was only little danger..."

Myria shook her head, knowing that they didn't know about who Davis truly was in the first place. The risk they took was nothing short of taking a life and death decision, and it truly put a smile on her face, although she did think that it was foolish. However, it was precisely because she thought it was foolishly dangerous that it was all the more endearing to her that they had come here to check on her safety.

"Don't be standing there. Come, be seated."

Davis gestured and made them sit on a sofa he summoned out of his spatial ring. The Solitary Soul Avatar also had one, after all. Things like furniture, food, and other contemporary things for daily life would always be there and restocked.

Sect Master Bing Luli, Ancestor Bing Hua, Ancestor Wan Lanying, Ancestor Xia Yun, and Top Disciple Mu Bing didn't stand on ceremony. Sect Master Bing Luli led the others and sat on the luxurious couch Davis summoned before they started to ask Myria what had truly happened.

Myria's lips twitched, but she didn't take her gaze from them, "I lost."

"…"

Hearing it from the person in question, the result of battle still shook them.

"As a result, I'm forced to cooperate with him. From now on, the Mystic Ice Sect will do the same if it still decides to follow me. The choice is yours to make, Bing Luli."

Sect Master Bing Luli blinked. Hadn't they already decided to follow Myria all their lives?

How come she's asking them again? And then, it struck her.

Myria wasn't sure of her cooperation with the Emperor of Death and, therefore, gave her the opportunity to reconsider.

Sect Master Bing Luli withheld the urge to turn to look at the Emperor of Death to make a better analysis. After all, when working with someone, what she should consider was also the person's character and trustability. For the Emperor of Death, both of them weren't in the gray zone in her mind so far, but a hard decision like this required more time to take.

However, Sect Master Bing Luli understood the core of their loyalty still lay with Myria and, therefore, did not need to consider if the other party was truly worthy of their trust and reliance. Thinking like this, she did not hesitate.

"No matter what decision you take, we will follow you to the end."

"…" Myria's faint smile never left.

Behind, Davis was staring at the maidens of the Mystic Ice Sect.

'If I'm not wrong, not only have they reached High-Level Law Rune Stage, they are also capable of battling one level above. Of them, Sect Master Bing Luli is more powerful. Perhaps, she can even cross two levels. Hmm… it seems that they've hidden well.'

Davis was honestly surprised in his evaluation of them.

Although it was obvious that it was Myria's handiwork that caused them to become this strong, it was still they who displayed potential. He was more surprised by the three Ancestors displaying potential. After all, they were long past their prime, becoming old and wrinkled, but Myria managed to make them full of vitality and youthful again.

They looked no different from women in their twenties in mortal terms, making him think that their Body Tempering Cultivations was most likely nothing ordinary.

Myria and the Mystic Ice Sect maidens continued to talk. The former was also satisfied with the ongoings of the world, hearing what Davis did to the Emperor Sword Sect and the wicked path remnants. Myria also knew that the Davis in front of her was an avatar, so she wasn't surprised. Her experience was many times greater than any soul cultivator lived and died in this world for her to not know of this point.

Just at this moment, Sect Master Bing Luli seemed disturbed. She took out a messaging talisman from her spatial ring and heard one of the Mystic Ice Sect maidens speak.

"Sect Master… It seems that the Vast Sky Emperor Palace… has completely been decimated by the Emperor of Death."

"…!?"

That maiden's voice was hesitant as though she was unsure but couldn't deny that it could be the truth, causing the others to stiffen.

"What?" Sect Master Bing Luli only managed to utter this word of shock before the maiden on the other side repeated the same.

Similar situations were occurring in every part of the world, with hegemons becoming shocked by the Emperor of Death's ruthlessness. The world was in complete turmoil, and the image they had developed of the Emperor of Death to be frivolous youth was utterly destroyed in their minds, reimposed with the image of a fiend.

"What's wrong? Continue. It's not like I'm going to kill you all for no reason. Isn't that right, Sect Master Bing Luli?"

"…"

Sect Master Bing Luli and the others shivered slightly. Before, they didn't mind that the Emperor of Death was standing behind them, thinking that he was just overlooking their conversation, but now, they felt that it was a mistake. It was as though a slumbering devil was behind them, whispering beside their ears, capable of taking their lives away from them anytime it wanted.

"Youngster, don't be scaring these children."

Myria closed her eyes and rubbed on them with her fingers before sharply looking at Davis, her eyes possessing a judgmental gaze.

"I am pleased to hear that you're ruthless when it matters, but more than that, did you kill the children in the Vast Sky Emperor Palace?"

"That's right." Davis didn't hide, "Anyone who is above three years old was killed by me because I didn't want to impose future troubles for the Alstreim Family. Is there any problem?"

He asked in a cold tone.

"No." Myria shook her head, "I'm more interested to know why you left those children below three years old alive. Do you not know that cultivators have a clear memory of their childhood, unlike mortals? Children growing up to kill their parents' killers isn't something rare. In my lifetime, such things were common, and many powers have been uprooted this way because of this kind of hatred. Are you sure that you would not regret your decision to leave them alive?"

Davis's brows were narrowed, but Myria continued, her sweet lips moving as she possessed a faint smile on her face.

"Fate is rather a mystical thing that will cause you to be dumbfounded because one of them might even stand before you in the future to avenge their parents, capable of killing you and your family. At that time, what exactly will you do?"
