Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1343 You Have Gone Too Far...

Shirley recalled that Davis had these mysterious instakilling talismans that killed Emperor Tritor and Emperor Raven back in the day. So she felt that it was either Davis or someone else who killed Top Disciple Lauren Zucker.

However, till secretly killing and somehow making it look like a suicide, she understood as she more or less knew that his killing talismans had killed their souls since there weren’t any injuries on Emperor Tritor and Emperor Raven last time, but how Davis or some other people had him write a suicide note, and that too something pointed at Grand Elder Valerian who had the most distinguished position in the Elder Hall was something she couldn’t understand.

She was practically confused as she returned her gaze to the scarlet explosion that seemed to have stopped expanding, slowly revolving in reverse as if it was undergoing an unknown change before it receded into nothingness as layers of fiery illuminations suppressed it till the void could be seen.

It left a tiny, circular spatial crack that soon repaired itself.

The Grand Elders and Elders all had their hands raised towards the dissipating energy. They did not drop it as they thought back to what happened in these short four seconds, from the moment the Burning Phoenix entered to the spatial crack healing itself.

Almost all of their soul forces instantly reached the Burning Phoenix to suppress it from exploding, but there was no way they could stop it. It was practically impossible for them to stop a King Beast Stage Magical Beast from committing suicide, especially when it happened in an instant when the Burning Phoenix had already prepared itself to self-destruct.

Still, even with the explosion occurring, the Elders could protect themselves but not the disciples.

However, who were the Grand Elders?

They were all Ninth Stage Powerhouses, and at least thirty of them gathered at the third story!

Without even having the Sect Master make a move, they efficiently suppressed the terrifying flame waves as they didn’t even let the shockwaves escape, quickly saving the disciples’ lives as the blast radius could extend to more than a hundred kilometers, taking out all life that was below the eighth stage in this battle arena in an instant.

Everything was practically suppressed within that particular space, only leaving behind a tiny spatial crack, and even the pristine whites of the architecture didn’t seem to be cracked or dirtied.

However, the Elders’ and Grand Elders’ expressions couldn’t help but twist in an ugly manner. Even though they hadn’t incurred any injuries, their emotions were not good.

After all, a Burning Phoenix had just died! What did it even feel to have committed suicide along with its master!? It should’ve known that it was futile, yet it had still done it!

"Valerian...! You have gone too far...."

A Grand Elder suddenly spoke, his male voice seething with intense emotions before he flew into the skies. A fiery crimson glow took over his body as he rapidly began to transform into a Burning Phoenix as his seventy-meter wide wingspan majestically spread!

*Screech!~~~*

A shocking cry erupted as the air intensely reverberated around the battle arena, even bringing cracks to the pristine white marbles of the third floor in the battle arena. Even though it was made from High-Level Emperor Grade Materials, it could not withstand the concentrated cry of a Mid-Level Emperor Beast Stage Burning Phoenix!

The other people seemed not affected at all as it was directed explicitly at Grand Elder Valerian.

"Hmph! Whatever happens, it’s going to be your fault, Grand Elder Regis!"

Grand Elder Valerian’s crimson eyes flashed with killing intent as he raised one of his hands. Tyrannical essence energy surged out as apocalyptic might gathered in his palms, ready to be unleashed in an instant as the air around him vibrated!

"Enough!!!"

A melodious voice echoed, seething with a dominant intent. It was as if a piercing blade ran through everyone’s back, including the Elders and the Grand Elders, causing them to stagger as they turned their heads towards the source and noticed an extraordinary crimson crown adorn Sect Master Lea Weiss’s head.

Davis saw this scene as he narrowed his eyes and sensed his party’s condition. It seemed both Esvele and Freya staggered like everyone else, but Shirley didn’t. However, Shirley trembled a moment later, reacting the same as everyone else before he noticed that she was acting.

He lightly shook his head in amusement and saw the suppression that crimson crown had on the people here. Not one of them had failed to react, meaning that it suppressed humans, magical beasts, and feys alike, but only if they had the Burning Phoenix Blood within them.

It didn’t seem like it affected Shirley since she had the relatively superior Fire Phoenix Blood.

Nevertheless, how much it suppressed, Davis didn’t know, nor could he grasp since he didn’t feel anything out of the ordinary other than a bloodline aura unrelated to him radiating. It had no effect on him.

"Sect Master, there’s no need to bring out the Grand Burning Phoenix’s Crown to make us listen to your majestic self."

Grand Elder Regis seemed relatively calm as he transformed back into his human form. However, a hostile intent shone in his crimson eyes as he glared at Grand Elder Valerian.

"I request that Sect Master bring justice to my useless grandchild Zarus as well."

Sect Master Lea Weiss nodded her head, which then caused Grand Elder Regis to completely stand down as he returned to his seat.

Davis knew that Zarus was none other than the Burning Phoenix that had self-destructed now. Of course, he was the one who made Zarus die by manipulating his actions to self-destruct when he silently neared Grand Elder Valerian.

The emotions that Zarus had for Top Disciple Lauren were true, and he took advantage of those emotions through Fallen Heaven to make Zarus naturally commit suicide. It was ruthless of him, but considering the relationship they shared with each other, Davis didn’t hesitate to take down the Burning Phoenix.

When he had decided to kill Top Disciple Lauren Zucker, he was naturally not going to hold back in using whoever was closely related to Lauren Zucker.

However, he was surprised to see that a magical beast could be a Grand Elder...

A Mid-Level Emperor Beast Stage Magical Beast that had his eyes widened for a few moments.

But now that he closely looked at the Grand Elders, he could feel eight undulations of Emperor Beast Stage Magical Beasts and three strange undulations, which were undoubtedly feys who seemed to have hidden their wings under their robes while they wore masks.

He thought they were acting mysterious but to think that they were embarrassed or perhaps feeling shameful of themselves?

Davis didn’t really understand how feys lived here, nor did he bother to understand, but their lineup of Ninth Stage Powerhouses sure had expanded his horizons.

Nevertheless, he looked at the atmosphere that was getting increasingly tense as Sect Master Lea Weiss and Grand Elder Valerian Rein glared at each other, making it rather obvious that they were hostile against each other. He couldn’t help but ask Shirley with a soul transmission, to which she replied.

"Grand Elder Valerian is the head of the Grand Elders, and he was the preferred Sect Master candidate when he was a Top Disciple, that is at least until the Top Disciple named Lea Weiss suddenly entered the scene and took the reigns from him, successfully becoming the Sect Master years later."

"However, it is said that Grand Elder Valerian is still aiming for the Sect Master seat, as well as the Sect Master herself, and added on to the fact that their age difference is only about four hundred years, their union is rather encouraged by the general populace."

"However, when Grand Elder Valerian pursued Sect Master Lea Weiss in their top disciple years, it was presumed that she had ruthlessly rejected him, but no one knows the authenticity to this rumor. However, it is not entirely baseless as ever since then, they are said to be plotting against each other while Grand Elder Valerian’s aim is to take Sect Master Lea Weiss as his woman while obtaining the Sect Master’s seat for himself."

"However, it is a pity that his cultivation is not up to par with the Sect Master’s or else, most of the Elders and Grand Elders might stand in his support as men don’t like to be under a woman even if she is an immortal goddess."

"However, the feys, the magical beasts, and a few other Grand Elders like Grand Elder Claus Strom and Grand Elder Newgate Stein are in favor of Sect Master Lea Weiss’s rule, so even if Grand Elder Valerian Rein became equal to Sect Master Lea Weiss in cultivation, it is questionable if he could obtain the Sect Master status unless he marries the Sect Master and made her voluntarily resign, which I say is impossible."

Hearing her lengthy explanation, Davis lightly nodded his head, understanding a few intricacies, he felt like he could use to his advantage. Right when he planned his next move, his expression changed.

"Grand Elder Valerian, I’ll have to ask you to exit this exceptional battle exchange for the troubles and disruption you have caused. As for your innocence or guilt, it would be investigated with the help of a Mystic Diviner we would hire from the Heaven Gazing Sect’s Branch that is situated to the west."

Sect Master Lea Weiss sat majestically on her throne as she waved her hand to one of the exits, her small lips moving behind her crimson veil.

"Leave~"

"..."

The battle arena became abnormally silent.

Everyone’s gaze swam towards Grand Elder Valerian, but they all saw that his head was lowered, increasingly contorting in ugliness from the humiliation of being asked to leave!

Even though one may think it was polite, it was an obvious slap to the face! No different from being forced to scram!
