Chapter 2222 A Mission?
*Swoosh!~*
The water sphere sloshed with a crimson hue under the struggle of Immortal Guang. However, no matter how he struggled, he could not leave, appearing like he was drowning while his voice was unable to reach out.
To Davis's surprise, even his body was half remade, crimson flesh wrapping his soul, although it wasn't completely as he looked like a live anatomical subject placed for display. There was no skin but to top it off, his flesh was constantly bleeding, appearing like they were being devoured, the light green water stripping him of his flesh and energy.
"Apologies." At this moment, the Jade Lotus Valley's Immortal cupped her thin hands, her sleeves flailing in the wind as she spoke up, "It seemed as though as I was late, so I went the other way around to capture the wicked path loser who tried to escape instead of meeting death as he should."
"Moreover, I could not just let him escape, not after the remnants of his power tried to kill my descendants while working together with the Emperor Sword Sect...? Is that right, Emperor of Death?"
'Oh crap... we have a vengeful woman here...' Davis saw her eyes flash with scrutiny, waiting for his answer.
Depending on his answer, it was possible that she might let him live or die. After all, the Jade Lotus Valley and the Emperor Sword Sect were close, and this immortal could potentially have a husband from the Emperor Sword Sect, a truly righteous one at that, not a Shard judging by the timeline of the Shard's sly takeover of the Emperor Sword Sect.
That would make it so that she was mad and pissed about the destruction of the Emperor Sword Sect, even if he was in the right.
"You've got it wrong."
"How so?" The Jade Lotus Valley's Immortal nodded.
"It was not the remnants of the Blood Reaper Underworld who tried to destroy your Jade Lotus Valley. It's the remnants of the Poison Rift Valley."
Davis shook his head, causing the female immortal to become speechless.
"What does it matter? They're all the same when it comes to their morals and values."
"Uhm, Immortal Beauty." Davis's brows narrowed, "Are you perhaps lashing out your grievances at this pitiful immortal who seemed like he hasn't come out of his mother's womb because your sect got destroyed by some terrifying beasts?"
"..."
The Jade Lotus Valley Immortal's eyes widened, her arms shaking, and even her water sphere made out of energy let out ripples, seemingly like it was going to break. However, with a clench of her fist, the water sphere's stability remained.
"Ancestor... is that true?" Ivy Aries's gaze shook.
Even Valley Master Jade Aurora seemed to be trembling, unable to believe what Davis implied.
"What about the Dark Ironroar Palace's Immortal? Didn't he try to save Immortal Guang when you captured him?"
"No, that wicked path immortal flew away towards his power." Jade Lotus Valley's Immortal shook her head as she calmed, "Possibly because of a trouble or altercation with another unknown immortal because he seemed to be in a hurry."
'Is it the Glorious Pill Palace's Immortal?' Davis wondered.
After all, he received news that the Glorious Pill Palace's Immortal had appeared, and since their Territory was near to the Dark Ironroar Palace Territory, he made the connection that they had probably clashed, although he was not sure.
"As for Immortal Guang's spatial ring, how about we split the spoils into two? I killed him, but you people weakened him. Of course, I'm not opposed to giving the whole spatial ring to you, but I'm thinking of using the resources inside as funds for Ivy Aries and Jade Aurora for them to further prosper in the First Haven World. What do you people say?"
The Jade Lotus Valley's Immortal requested, causing Davis to turn to look at Founder Alstreim Windstorm, who shrugged, surprisingly leaving the decision to him.
Davis nodded thrice as he turned his head to look at the Jade Lotus Valley's Immortal, his lips moving.
"If it's resources for these two beauties, then take the entire spatial ring. Obviously, just half wouldn't suffice for both their bright futures."
"..."
Ivy Aries and Valley Master Jade Aurora were stunned, their hearts swirling with complex emotions.
"Do you have a condition?" However, the female immortal remained skeptical.
"Indeed." Davis smirked, "In exchange, I need the blood-attributed resources. All of them."
"Done."
Jade Lotus Valley's Immortal smiled as she or her descendants had no use for blood-attributed resources, although she couldn't be sure about Ivy Aries as her physique is different. But, it seemed like Ivy Aries didn't tread the path of absorbing blood, which made her heart remain at ease.
Just as she was about to compliment him for his good and understanding heart, contrarily to what she expected of a man who practiced Death Laws, her expression changed as she turned to look at an empty space ripping apart to create a vortex. The others also reacted the same, their hearts clenching as they became ready for a battle.
"But next time, don't take my precious prey."
However, a purple-robed man appeared from the void, swiping his hand at the empty space as though collecting something in front of their shocked gazes.
They turned to look at Davis and then turned to look at the purple-robed man.
'It's his main body...'
Just as they realized this fact, they saw a bevy of women walk out of the spatial vortex, each of their eyes containing a gaze heavier than what they would see in immortals. It was as though they had come from a bloody battlefield, causing their hearts to feel momentarily pressured.
