Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1298 Coincidence?

"..."

An eerie silence filled the gap as Uncle Farus Zlatan watched the bushy forest with narrowed eyes.

"What’s wrong, uncle? Let’s go..." Raeburn Zlatan uttered in impatience.

He had to get back sooner and tell them ’what’ had happened. Otherwise, it would be the same as wasting half his lifespan as he might be imprisoned in his prime. However, depending upon the losses that the family would incur, it was possible that his own ruthless father might bring the golden hammer down upon him and crush his life for his mistakes.

"Alright..." Uncle Farus Zlatan shook his head and took his gaze away from the direction he was facing before he began to travel north.

They soon left the forest mountain, looking as if they were traveling back towards the Poison Lord Villa Territory.

"..."

The whole area was silent without any kind of suspicious movement. The leaves swayed, the bushes danced as the wind passed through in harmony, making it a serene scenery.

After a few minutes had passed, a silhouette seamlessly appeared over the skies, looking unconvinced.

"I felt something vague... Could it just be my imagination...?" Farus Zlatan appeared and rubbed his golden beard, seemingly looking around for some anomalies.

However, he was unable to find anything other than magical beasts that were roaming a bit far away from this region. He wanted to destroy this place to make sure but then decided it wasn’t worth the effort as the thing he sensed might’ve already escaped. Moreover, it would be the same if it wasn’t really there in the first place.

He would be basically just destroying an empty area on top of leaving traces that he was here. That’s why he felt reluctant to flatten this region. He didn’t want anyone to know that he was with Raeburn Zlatan. Otherwise, it was possible that he would also be punished.

"Well, it must be my imagination if there isn’t anyone here I could not find with my physical sense..." He harrumphed in annoyance and left, thinking that he had reacted for nothing.

Prickly sapphire eyes saw the Farus Zlatan’s figure leave the region.

Davis was silent this whole time, but killing intent began to brew in his eyes as he heard all the things that they spoke from their mouths. When it reached a certain threshold, that leaked out of his concealment and inevitably revealed his general direction to Farus Zlatan.

Nevertheless, he quickly suppressed his killing intent, making it seem like Farus Zlatan had been the one mistaken.

’These Dragon Families...’

Even though Davis knew that their intentions for Isabella were for nothing but to make her their bride and make her give birth to their progeny from the very beginning, when he heard it from their mouths, he was not able to stop his killing intent from brewing in his eyes.

However, if he killed them now, it would not be without profound and untoward consequences. The Zlatan Family would quickly come looking for him as he was the last person to fight with Raeburn Zlatan. Even if he was not suspicious, he was convinced that they would use this as a reason to get to Isabella, even try to kill him or use him as a hostage to make Isabella theirs!

But how could he let that happen?

He would undoubtedly retaliate, and it would end up in a bloodbath first before him running away as it is not possible to make enemies on multiple fronts. However, it was inevitable that the Ninth Stage Powerhouses would become scared of him as they would come to learn of his instant killing techniques, and the entire world would be upon him soon.

Davis felt that his thoughts may have been exaggerated, but he could see this play out similarly if he were to kill them now. He’d rather stay his hand before killing these people who desired his Isabella later. He brought his killing intent under control with his willpower and endured!

Nevertheless, the situation now became clear to him.

So it was that retard Raeburn Zlatan who acted on his own accord, but he also learned that perhaps every one of them in these four Dragon Families was becoming impatient.

It made sense, considering that it had been more than one and half a year since they came to know of Isabella’s existence. If no one made a move, that equaled the time they allowed Isabella to grow, which was disadvantageous to them.

But to think that benefits didn’t move them, but a brat who faced love failure was the one who was unable to endure.

’Wait... If he came alone, then how did this Uncle Farus came out of nowhere and even claimed that he saw him battle with me...? Coincidence?’

Davis felt like there were chances that he was the one who put Raeburn Zlatan up to this mess, but with the way Raeburn Zlatan reacted to his uncle’s presence upon discovering, it didn’t seem like the case.

Double-layered schemes?

He heard that the Dragon Families relied on fists but was it truly the case?

Nevertheless, Davis shook his head, thinking that it didn’t matter to him.

What mattered to him was now delaying the Zlatan Family as well as the other three Dragon Families.

It didn’t matter if he killed Raeburn Zlatan today in the fight, as they were probably losing their patience. It was inevitable that they would descend on the Alstreim Family to visit and invite Isabella sooner or later.

’Fuck! Just when I thought I could enjoy my life with my beautiful flowers, but trouble comes to my doorstep even without me having to seek it...’

But he then recalled that he did seek it with building that fake story in the Ethren Empire and the Alstreim Family.

Nevertheless, he instantly began to contemplate as he moved, subconsciously making his way towards the Thousand Pill Palace’s City.

He knew that Raeburn Zlatan and Farus Zlatan were heading towards the Poison Lord Villa Territory before heading east to enter the Flowing Mist Sect Territory. After that, they would enter one of the four large-sized Territory called the Astral Light Sect Territory before heading towards another large-sized Territory, finally entering the Golden Dragon Valley Territory, which is a mid-sized Territory but still possesses similar resources as it was governed by the peak power, the Zlatan Family.

Therefore, he wasn’t worried if they would return.

He thought of something before agreeing that the plan he just thought of could at least work for a while.

The main body instantly began talking to Ancestor Dian Alstreim, having him, the Alstreim Family, announce that the Dragon Queen would exit seclusion in six months. Surely, he could do a year, but he doubted that they would wait and instead storm the Alstreim Family.

Six months was the limit.

He could try increasing that, but that would be like playing with fire.

In any case, he really didn’t know if they would wait six months or just run out of patience and storm the Grand Alstreim City. This was just a stoppage that he wanted to put to enjoy his life for a while as well as do the things he wanted to do like finding Shirley, getting Niera and her family out, marrying Isabella before thinking about Sophie and Niera.

There were so many things to do, yet here he was flying above on top of the luxurious palaces floating in the skies...

The Thousand Pill Palace’s Grand City.

’Sigh...’ Davis couldn’t help but show an annoyed expression, ’Do I really have to see this woman to know about the strange scenes that I saw and forgot most of it other than the one that seemed like that I was going to bed her or vice versa as she could’ve possibly seduced me with charm arts...’

He had no idea what that was, even though he could form many hypotheses in his head. However, he wouldn’t know what the truth was until he met her and asked. Even then, would a little woman like her know anything about this?

For all he knew, she could remain the same as him, ignorant about this matter’s truth.

However, Davis still felt hesitant to meet her because he had a feeling that meeting her would undoubtedly take even the measly time he had away from him. As far as he was concerned, he wanted to send this avatar to find Shirley and Ellia right now. It was too long, and he gave himself so many excuses to postpone that now even he was feeling disgusted at himself.

Thinking all of this, he promptly decided that no matter what this matter with Tina Roxley maybe, he would send the avatar to find Shirley and Ellia. As for the matters back at home, he would take care of it by himself. He had only a month to bring back Niera and leave for the Forsaken Phoenix Realm to marry Isabella.

He had the feeling that perhaps Isabella was waiting for him to come to her of her own volition.

If it was really so, then he couldn’t really afford to waste time anymore!

Davis decided and descended outside the city because he just couldn’t enter it from above as there were defensive and detecting formations. He did the same while following Raeburn Zlatan but didn’t pay the price to enter.

Now, he paid a whooping, single High-Level Spirit Stone to enter the city as an outsider and a non-alchemist, but he could understand this was the common amount for outsiders, including merchants, as they can profit a lot here just by buying and selling in another region or Territory.

Nevertheless, he didn’t want anyone to know his identity, so he disguised himself as having common black hair and another mask that he hadn’t used before. Surely, this would make others wary of him but would still let them know that he didn’t want to be bothered.

He walked through the luxurious streets as only Alchemists and people above the Eighth Stage were allowed to fly. He didn’t want to make a scene by revealing his King Soul Stage Cultivation, so he walked fast and found a person who seemed like who knew the city very well, a guide.

He recalled Grand Elder Brandis Mercer, who was Tina Roxley’s Master, and told his name to the guide, wanting him to show the way, and as expected of the guide, he knew such a person.

Surely, it would not be suspicious if a masked man came to see Alchemist Brandis Mercer, but it would be suspicious if a masked man requested to see a woman even if she was an Alchemist. He didn’t want to scare her away nor make her aware that he was coming for her, assuming that she was expecting him to come.

The guide began to move, even taking him on a small carriage that seemed to cross the streets speedily, propelled by the usage of spirit stones like every construct.

Soon, he made it to a twelve-story palace that seemed to be assigned twelve alchemists, and one of those floors seemed to be assigned to Alchemist Brandis Mercer.

Davis compensated the guide with ten High-Level Spirit Stones before he entered the palace, heading up to make it to the eleventh floor!
