Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 2349 Karmic Sight

Chapter 2349 Karmic Sight

Arriving at the central plaza, Davis found himself following a flow with the crowd.

However, he didn’t do that but found a place at an open space restaurant serving street food, eating chunks of emperor-grade bird meat that tasted more exotic and delicious than a magical beast chicken at low ranks.

It seemed like the Fire Phoenix wasn’t offended when birds were served as food. Davis even glanced at the menu posted on the food stall and found human meat and fey meat, but he didn’t find spirit meat here. Still, he didn’t know what to say other than glance at the magical beasts seated beside him in their human forms, consuming human meat as they eyed him with deep smiles.

"..."

*Krkrk!~*

He took the chunk of meat and produced a crunchy sound as he crushed a bone piece in his jaws, causing the magical beasts to quiver before they harrumphed and looked away, not wanting to mess with a human who could crunch on magical beast bones and chew them like he was eating soft meat.

With that coming to an end, Davis turned to look at the giant central plaza where people were hundreds and thousands of people were moving about.

But in Davis’s eyes, it was a world of karmic web, intertwined with each people passing by his vision. Something like this would have made him dizzy back then, but now, there was only a slight ache in the forehead, which was endurable.

Some karmic threads were quite vague to look at, making him feel slightly dizzy, while some were extremely clear because the latter had lesser cultivation or prowess than him.

As he practiced only viewing people whose prowess was lower than him or slightly above him, he found it easier to keep this state activated. His soul force was also expanding at an easily recoverable rate.

Nonetheless, what he saw left him quite speechless, especially the beautiful women walking past him.

The very sight of their presence gave him goosebumps, making him understand how fortunate he had been with his women.

After all, he managed to see signs of affairs with those beautiful women as he saw red threads tainted with resentment gray, enmity black, or frustrated yellow while some blue, friendly threads were tainted with intimate red, signifying that these women were definitely cheating on their husbands with their friendly acquaintance of some sort.

"...!"

The mind-boggling thing was that there were even pink, familial threads that were tainted with intimate red among them.

Almost every kind of relationship was exposed to him, but he made sure not to stare too much, even the ones with incestual relationships.

Wherever his eyes went, he just cast a slight glance, concentrating on viewing karmic nature alone, but the people who possessed karmic virtue and karmic sin were still very few.

Minutes passed by in this manner as he spotted a few people who possessed karmic sin.

’Two meters dark crimson karmic sin...? A hard pass...’

’Four meters? Seems like a bandit, perhaps a leader... Nah...’

’Nine meters...? Damn, he looks like a young master and is an immortal... not worth the trouble...’

Davis constantly weighed the gain and risk factors to swipe someone’s karmic sin, and so far, in fifteen minutes, he found none so far worth his time. He felt like he should’ve known that he wouldn’t find any slaughterer in the streets but still hoped that he could find one as a slaughterer would indeed mix with the crowd when in cities.

He ordered two more dishes and continued consuming as though he had nothing better to do.

For the subsequent amount of time, Davis didn’t see anyone having karmic sin that was more than nine meters, but he did see some people with a few meters of karmic virtue. Evidently, he became aware that there were more people with karmic sin than people who possessed karmic virtue, which made him ask if he was even living in a righteous city.

However, possessing karmic sin didn’t necessarily mean that the person had killed millions of people.

In other words, the person could have done something that is considered to be worth killing millions. For example, killing someone who possesses a meter of karmic virtue for no justifiable reason under the eyes of the heavens. That’s counted as a grave sin, leading that person to incur a meter or more of karmic sin.

After all, karmic sin was easier to gain than karmic virtue.

Still, he was disappointed that he didn’t see even one person with bright red karmic sin, which could be considered the second tier of karmic sin. As long as he even spotted one, he was willing to take a greater risk, but there was no one with such an amount of karmic sin.

After all, having a bright red karmic sin could be considered to have killed around a hundred million people.

’Sigh, it looks like becoming an assassin is the only way to target the people I want while I gain karmic sin from them...’

Standing up, he paid for the open restaurant and left, following the stream of the crowd.

However, where was he going to find an assassin establishment in this huge city?

Davis had no idea.

"Fucking slave! Can’t even stand properly when I just bought you!? Shit! Shit, shit!!! This was a waste of time and wealth!"

Just as he arrived between two pathways while he kept thinking and searching, there was a white-robed man who kept kicking the head of another white-robed man. It caused a commotion, causing Davis to look to the side as he saw a massive palace, which was rather common sight in the central plaza, but he noticed something that he didn’t expect to see easily.

[Azure Radiance Slave Traders]

He returned his gaze to see the slave getting kicked. The slave started bleeding by the time some people gathered around them.

"Ahaha!" A black-robed person stepped forward and suddenly laughed, "Look at you. You have been fooled like many others."

"What? Are you playing with me?" The white-robed man who attacked the slave asked with wide eyes.

"Of course not! The slave roulette is a fucking scam! Do you know how many people left dejected-"

*Bzzz!~*

Abruptly, Level Nine Immortal undulations erupted from the Azure Radiance Slave Traders Palace, causing the black-robed person to be sent flying as he spurted a mouthful of blood.

"Someone who is not even our patron doesn’t get to say a word about us, especially not in front of law-abiding establishments as they disrupt our business."

Came a heavy voice filled with warning.

The black-robed man managed to stand up. However, he ran away without saying anything while people began murmuring that it was a person from another slave trading establishment, causing the white-robed man’s expression to turn ugly.

"Excuse me, patron, is there anything wrong with that slave you bought from us?"

Abruptly, an azure-robed man stepped out of the palace and asked the white-robed man with a gentle smile.

"Eh- Umm... no..."

"Is there anything else you would like to ask us? Any questions that we may have forgotten to answer or failed to inform you of important matters about the slave you purchased from us?"

"No," The white-robed man straightened his back and clasped his hand with a stiff expression on his face, "It was a pleasure doing business with you, so I’ll take my leave."

He urged the kneeling slave to stand up before they left together and disappeared, returning peace to the street.

The azure-robed man at the entrance of the Azure Radiance Slave Traders Palace smirked before he turned around, but halfway, he flinched in shock, coming to a stop as he saw a black-robed, eagle-eyed man staring at him with calm eyes.

"I would like to buy some slaves." A mild grumpy tone came out of the black-robed man’s mouth.

"But before that, I would like to know how these slaves are obtained."

"I see..."

The azure-robed man’s lips twitched before he calmed himself, a shady smile appearing on his face as he gestured inside.

Davis nodded his head, rubbing his black beard as he followed the azure-robed man inside.

"My humble name is Yufor. May I know our patron’s name?"

"Just a random patron who’s passing by..."

"I understand." Yufor nodded his head, "If our patron is wondering how our business is legal and justified..."

He turned around and pointed towards the board hung above the entrance from the inside, causing Davis to see some enlarged scrolls as though they were banners hung.

"... that’s the license from the city officials, stamped and legalized. We have also paid our taxes, as you can see."

"As for the slaves, they are all obtained through lawful means. In other words, these slaves here, ranging from humans, feys, magical beasts, and spirits, are all sold by their own families or sometimes have involved themselves in some sort of crime, only to be captured by righteous individuals or bounty hunters and sold. There is also the case of entire powers being decimated rightfully in the name of justice, and the survivors end up being sold to us by the victors."

"The slaves that we sell, none of them have backers. Even if they do have backers, then they could only be obtained by spending here, purchasing from us or the master who bought it from us. Everything we do is lawful, so our patrons don’t have to worry about untoward liabilities in purchasing a slave."

Yufor couldn’t help but smirk as he displayed a golden tooth, "If someone is demanding the return of a slave you brought from us, you could always contact us as we’re always here to help."

Davis couldn’t help but raise his brows in understanding.

People wouldn’t dare to sell the people of any race due to the covenant, but if they were considered slaves, the point of contention would become different. Therefore, to even sell a magical beast mount, that magical beast mount must be designated as a slave for better safety against the law and any backers who might come demanding the return of their relation.

However, he imagined that there were also shops selling magical beast mounts without a slave contract but perhaps, that was only done in human-owned cities.
