Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 2317 Activities

Chapter 2317 Activities

Davis and Evelynn walked out while the latter held the former’s arm.

Evelynn wore a lovely, circular hat that had a black veil falling down her face, hiding the exquisite beauty that would almost cause men with bad intentions to go crazy on her. Nonetheless, the black veil did nothing to hide her sumptuous proportions and might cause trouble even though some people might not understand the sign of the black veil to leave her alone.

However, Davis was willing to take a few steps back if it was about him, but if it was about his loved ones, he could remain stubbornly adamant.

He told her not to bother with hiding her beauty, telling her that if someone made trouble, then they would bear the consequences of offending them. However, she was adamant that she would not bring trouble while still wanting to accompany him.

In the end, he was more than happy to have Evelynn’s magnificence all to himself.

They walked past the courtyard, but before they could exit the estate, they encountered Jerius Alstreim.

"Brother Davis. Sister-in-law. Where are you going?"

He strode forward towards them with a wide smile on his face.

"Brother?"

Davis stared at Jerius Alstreim, causing the latter to chuckle, "Ah, don’t call that out when it’s already embarrassing that I lost to you, a descendant. Just accept the honorific. Or am I still supposed to address you as my descendant?"

"Brother is fine..." Davis lightly nodded, his black hair slightly fluttering as a light breeze flew past them.

He had re-disguised himself, including his face.

"I thought of exploring the city, getting to know the locals and perhaps the major powers of the world."

"Ah, in that case, my apologies." Jerius Alstreim wryly smiled, "Ever since we appeared here, we haven’t gone out to explore the city. I’m unable to show you around as I don’t know about the city details, but if you want, you can ask grandma’s twin brothers about what’s going on outside. They’ve managed to befriend the guards of the other estates, so they might have some juicy information."

"Thanks for the heads up, and congratulations on breaking through to the Level Two Immortal Stage."

Davis gave a thumbs up before he left with Evelynn. Meanwhile, Jerius Alstreim shook his head and returned back to his cultivation, dangling in mid-air in the courtyard as he tried to become one with the heaven and earth energy, sensing the minute changes in the air, which allowed him to detect two figures exiting.

In fact, he was also acting as a secondary line of defense as his prowess had reached Level Four Immortal Stage.

After all, times were a bit perilous. If it was before the Vacuous Beasts, almost no one would dare to steal in a Tier Two City as the defense was high, but after the Vacuous Beasts, chaos ensued, and the crime rate increased. Still, things were calm at the moment as weeks had passed, but no one could ensure that it could continue to improve as it was rumored that many bandits and rogue cultivators of unknown origins had entered.

This was also one of the fringe cities, after all, one that was not the farthest but still near enough to the area of destruction caused by the Vacuous Beast.

Outside, Davis also heard about the matter of the increased crime rate from the twin guards.

There were cases of arson, robbery, kidnappings, and many more, even in the three days he secluded himself dual cultivating heart and soul with his women.

Davis felt that it was strange that the air was eerily cold when he entered the city. Now he understood that some strange peeps had watched him, but because he looked like a complete countryside cultivator, no one bothered with him, thinking that he probably didn’t have any money.

After hearing about a few events and the happenings going on in the city, Davis and Evelynn left. They headed for the Central Plaza that was nearby, filled with restaurants, shops, and many other attractions that left one curious.

"Sigh, I always imagined that the ascended world is a paradise. Seems like it’s no different from the mortal world, perhaps even crueler with the heavy competition for resources and survival going on."

Evelynn heaved out a disappointed breath.

A paradise?

A slight smile appeared on Davis’s face as he knew the template, so he wasn’t surprised. Even Mingzhi was the same but for the others...

It was true that everyone thought of the world after ascendance as a paradise. They thought that inhabitants were supreme existences, living carefree lives that suited the image of immortals, even never aging.

However, Evelynn quickly found that this place was even crueler than the mortal world after ascending. Where was the so-called paradise?

Davis didn’t provide a comment, not because he was bored to react or had her guessing but walking down the street, they both became flabbergasted.

They could see wicked path cultivators moving about as their blood and dark energy were apparent with their undulations.

If it were in the Grand Beginnings Continent before the unification, wicked path cultivators simply could not walk freely like this as they would be hunted down. But here, they were walking comfortably as though they owned this street, brushing past ordinary cultivators who seemed like they were on the righteous path.

Following them with his gaze, Davis saw that they had walked down the pathway and joined the crowd in the Central Plaza. They only looked around for a while before they entered one of the many restaurants.

"Woah, the covenant really allows them to walk free like that." Evelynn couldn’t help but wryly giggle, finding this quite hilarious.

If crime rates have increased, wouldn’t these wicked path cultivators not come under scrutiny since they would most likely be the ones to commit crimes?

"Well, the city patrol did give them more than a few glances but not much more enough to consider them offenders."

Davis replied, causing Evelynn to make an ’O’ as she nodded.

Soon, they also reached the Central Plaza. Just as they wandered around looking at the wares and services offered, a huge commotion broke out, causing everyone’s gazes to gather at a blue-robed woman whose features were obscured by a conical hat with a veil hung down.

"The Fire Phoenix’s prideful name has really fallen to a new low. Using the anarchic atmosphere of the city as a cover, the son of the City Lord dares to kidnap women and humiliate them!? How vile!"

In front of her was a headless corpse, but as she raised her hand and shouted, it became apparent to everyone that she held the head of the corpse before her in her hand, plain for everyone to see that she had killed a person, perhaps the son of the City Lord himself!
