Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1377 Cleaning

Once Davis subdued the Zlatan Family’s black-robed man who seemed to have hidden in the Grand Alstreim City, he searched with his soul sense far and wide, searching every nook and cranny without fail. He didn’t even leave the skies. The others were doing similar things, but their senses weren’t on par. Although Zanna Silverwind’s senses were more powerful than Davis’s, she didn’t have a wide reach like him.

They were silently searching for any other spies or informants who might’ve hidden and witnessed the heavenly tribulation phenomenon. Fortunately, even after a minute of intense searching, no one showed up in their senses.

Davis opened his eyes and looked at the black-robed man, "How many from the Dragon Families were sent here?"

"... I don’t know..." The black-robed man answered in a monotonous voice.

Davis frowned before he changed his question, "How many from the Zlatan Family was sent to the Alstreim Family?"

"One..."

"Heh..." Davis scoffed, thinking that the Zlatan Family, or perhaps all the four Dragon Families, looked down on the Alstreim Family and maybe even underestimated Isabella. But considering that they have placed Ninth Stage Powerhouses on the three Territory Gates, it makes sense as they have no need to worry about Isabella escaping their grasp.

He felt that their own confidence was the reason for their loss.

Nevertheless, the Zlatan Family sent one to keep an eye on the Purple Guest Palace, or specifically Isabella. Then it is evident that the other families have probably also sent one informant to stay on the status quo. However, there were no signs of them. Did they escape already, or did they never appear?

Davis felt confused.

At first, knowing that the heavenly tribulation was forming in the skies, he quickly took his little aunt away while being concealed. So it is possible that many failed to recognize him coming out of the Purple Guest Palace, but it was entirely possible that some of them might have noticed the strangeness of the weather.

The heavenly tribulation wasn’t big at first, nor was its aura pompous enough to be noticeable other than the radius of a few meters where it was projected towards the one who invoked the heavenly tribulation. However, one still needed to at least have their senses at the King Soul Stage or similar to sense it. That’s why Davis was able to sense heavenly tribulation the moment it began to form, but Edgar Alstreim did not. The latter probably still did not know where he took his daughter and might be freaking out in the Purple Guest Palace by now, wondering what was happening in trepidation.

"Sigh..." A sigh of relief escaped from Ancestor Dian Alstreim’s mouth, "It looks like there’s no one else left."

However, his expression changed, "The only people who witnessed it now are our own people. What should we do...?"

Davis blinked as he felt that this question was directed at him.

"There’s no other way than to kill them or enslave them all as Davis did to this black-robed man." Mival Silverwind solemnly spoke, "If you do not do either one of these, then we will have a disastrous problem in our hands soon enough. "

Ancestor Dian Alstreim’s expression turned difficult.

"I apologize, but that’s just the way it is." Mival Silverwind shook his head, "They may be your people, but they might sell this information for the slightest amount of wealth they could gain. We do not even want rumors spreading, do we, Dian Alstreim?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim understood this point as he nodded his head. Even Mival Silverwind was forcing him to kill or enslave them as that’s the best way to assure that nothing gets leaked. His shoulders dropped as he made his decision, but a voice interrupted him.

"I’ll do it..."

Davis echoed as they all turned to look back at him with inquisitive and rejecting faces. He had just instructed the slave to lay low in the Grand Alstreim City and await his instructions.

"Don’t misunderstand..." He chuckled, "I’m just going to enslave them. As a Soul King, I can enslave thousands of people. On the other hand, Ancestor Dian Alstreim is restricted by your cultivation as well as your individual prowess."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim blinked, feeling envious of the King Soul Stage. Even his Tirea Snow had reached it, but he has yet to reach it. However, he understood that his Soul Forging Cultivation was the weakest! There was nothing he could do about it at the moment.

Nevertheless, he nodded his head.

Turning around, Davis moved towards the mountain of bodies tied up with flaming ropes. There were thousands of them, and they were all alive, just appearing as if they were sleeping with a contorted look on their faces, probably the aftermath from their mental mind not being able to handle the suppression of a Ninth Stage Powerhouse.

He cast thousands of Sacred Mark Art, a light-attributed enslavement technique that used soul force. It took him ten minutes to cast so many of them to enslave them. The three Ninth Stage Powerhouses were behind him, so feeling that it was the right time, he forcefully woke them up by trying to make them suicidal.

Their instincts screamed as they woke up, gasping as they took deep breaths.

Davis simply retreated, and Ancestor Dian Alstreim took over as if he knew that it was his turn. He did not mention a single word about the heavenly tribulation to the stupefied people, but he declared that he was the Ancestor of the Alstreim Family and that they are to remain mute about the things they witnessed today or face death.

Instead of replying, they all unanimously began to kowtow and pay respects to the Ancestor with tears of content and fulfillment in their eyes, as if they could not be honored any more than to be graced with the presence of their Ancestor.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim did not feel awkward, but he sighed, knowing that these countryside people weren’t much harm, but they could prove threatening when their wealth decreased, making them want to sell their things or information to obtain more wealth. If it weren’t for this, he couldn’t bother about them. After all, how could he alone take care of the millions of people roaming around like them?

At this moment, Davis noticed that his little aunt woke up. He moved a kilometer away and smiled at her fully opened eyes. Her eyes roamed around, realizing where she was before her expression became filled with a healthy blush.

She appeared flustered, but she didn’t struggle as she watched his gentle expression. Somehow, it soothed her heart, making her feel warm after being out cold for a while.

"How do you feel, little aunt?"

"Eh..." Tia Alstreim became even more flustered before she realized that he was asking about her health.

"Thanks to big brother, I’m uninjured!~" She cheerfully replied as her eyes creased.

Davis nodded in relief, understanding that her physique hadn’t brought any adverse changes. He had gained distance from Ancestor Dian Alstreim and the others to give some privacy to Tia Alstreim in case if something might crop up, but it seems like she was safe and healthy.

"Can you stand, little aunt...?"

He asked.

Tia Alstreim’s lips trembled before she hesitantly shook her head as if she had second thoughts about it.

Davis’s brows creased a bit, but he nodded, "Alright. I’ll take you back to the Purple Guest Palace."

"I want to see mother and father..."

Tia Alstreim moved her arms as she wrapped them around his neck as her body align closer with him. Davis blinked, but knowing that she had just been subjected to that terrifying aura of the heavenly tribulation while having no battle experience, he mused that she still felt afraid and didn’t say anything about it.

"Thank you for saving me, big brother..."

Davis was about to move when a low voice echoed as a kiss fell on his cheek. It felt endearing that Davis smiled as he chuckled.

"Looks like I got the most desirable first kiss of my little aunt..."

"Wha-" Tia Alstreim’s expression went red, "That doesn’t count...! It wasn’t a kiss on the lips...!"

"Say what you want, but I’m going to brag that you kissed the hero who saved you... Hahaha!"

"Big brother..." Tia Alstreim pouted as she looked away, her expression looking entrancing as her eyelids fluttered, "You’re a bully..."

"Hehe... I’m a big bully who bullies many women, so be careful of your big brother in the future when you become a woman, okay?"

Davis teasingly raised his brows while Tia Alstreim shot a glance at him before her purple eyes moved away, her thoughts unknown.

They stayed silent before Davis moved towards the Grand Alstreim City while he gestured for them to come near them. The three of them arrived near in an instant and looked at Tia Alstreim, who instantly hid her face on Davis’s chest as she noticed that there three powerful people around her.

"Hehe... She’s a bit shy. Don’t mind her, but I’d like you all to keep this a secret like the previous secrets you know about me."

"I understand..." Mival Silverwind answered, followed with a nod from Zanna Silverwind.

However, Mival Silverwind deeply smiled, "Looks like you gained a beauty..."

Davis blinked, "This is my little aunt. My grandfather’s child from another grandmother..."

"Oh..." Mival Silverwind looked a bit embarrassed before he chuckled, "I thought she was calling you big brother as a sign of respect. Besides, you blonde heads all look the same to me that I excluded the possibility."

"Haha... It’d be like that..."

Davis understood that reasoning as he also felt exasperated. Nevertheless, he continued.

"Tia Alstreim is one of the possessors of the Karmic Guardian Physique in the Fifty-Two Territories, so she would become a full-fledged Mystic Diviner in the future as long as she could comprehend Time and Space Laws..."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim’s eyes flashed with wonder as he looked at the shy girl.

Such a little girl would become a Mystic Diviner?

The three of them nodded their heads as they were already aware of this possibility the moment they witnessed her comprehending Karmic Intent!

However, to think that the Karmic Guardian Physique could call upon a heavenly tribulation!

They weren’t aware of it at all to their knowledge!
