Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2379 Rooted Elements

Ninety-three million immortal crystals...

This number had Nadia jumping in joy when she heard it, as she would be able to make more advancements to her cultivation, finally allowing her to battle Immortal Kings!

But on the other hand, Davis dived into deliberation.

It was just like he believed. Plundering was genuinely lucrative.

After all, these bandits targeted so many families while their clients wouldn't just be the Minn Family. As evidence, he found so many Blood Soul Contracts in their spatial rings connected to many families.

But for a moment, he became disillusioned by the number of people willing to have connections with these bandits as a cold look emerged on his face.

The only difference between him and these people was he plundered those who deserved to be plundered, for they have no conscience towards other lives. Nonetheless, the wealth he obtained from hunting these wicked people came from these innocent people.

It wasn't like he was going to return the plundered wealth to the victims, so he was aware that he wasn't anyone good either, but he knew for a fact that he still had the moral high ground, having the right to look down on the unscrupulous thugs like the triplets, even worse, completely looking down on people who work with them for utterly selfish and wicked reasons.

At least Haijin Minn vouched for his family that they did that for him, not that it would absolve their crimes, but it at least made sense for them to secure their young master's future at the cost of other lives, but for most people to just be in partnership with robbers just for the benefit of it, that was pure depravity and immorality in his eyes, akin to pure evil.

The Minn Family sent these bandits off with a hostile gaze in their eyes but looking at the Blood Soul Contracts in the latter's spatial rings, Davis found so many recurring contracts from other powers, including families, sects, and other kinds of powers. One cut off the bad side, so he could at least leave them be and not be bothered by circumstances, but for the latter, killing intent couldn't help but unequivocally appear in his eyes.

If the Minn Family had just plundered one single woman from every falling or fallen power, then other powers bought a lot of them.

Held in his hand was a Blood Soul Contract between a higher-up of the Zyrus Family and the Dark Sky Triad. The Zyrus Family's Klein Zyrus was supposed to be his next target, and just like he expected after discovering the relation between Minn Family and the Dark Sky Triad, it seems that the most wicked path powers do rely on bandits like the Dark Sky Triad to get what they wanted and in this case, requisition for cauldrons and blood essence.

After all, it was banned by the covenant. Most wouldn't dare to go against it openly without enough power, lest they be banded against together by every other power, even chameleons of the same trade.

'No wonder these findings made the triplet's karmic sin made sense… just kidnapping and selling those virtuous women wouldn't lead to that kind of karmic sin painting them...'

Davis's eyes flashed as he raised his head, checking the amount of karmic sin on him right now.

However, he found nothing.

Lowering his head, he looked beneath his waist, his fake black eyes squinting to see a foggy aura that was not even a meter in height. Moreover, it didn't appear bright red but somewhat tainted by purple, seemingly dreadful and ominous.

'Third-tier karmic sin...'

Davis's lips couldn't help but unwittingly curve in joy despite the lives that had been taken or the suffering caused for this kind of karmic sin to be formed before being plundered by him.

Even without assassinating and plundering his last target, Klein Zyrus, Davis had reached the level of third-tier karmic sin. It was all thanks to the three brothers, especially the third brother, Sregor, who possessed a whooping thirty-meter-tall karmic sin, while the two other brothers possessed around twenty-meter tall karmic sin, all three of their karmic sins hovering at second-tier.

It was because he knew they had the capacity to hide this kind of karmic sin that he initially became aware, invoking karmic prowess and cutting off the thread connecting to him after killing them while doing the same for Nadia.

He was all the warier after seeing the presence of the assassins, especially the Oracular Reaver Abode, as their name itself didn't suit well with them.

He hated diviners for their ability to track out of seemingly nothing, but now, there was a combination of Mystic Diviners and Assassins?

Davis didn't even want to go near them despite the Ghost Tear Hall fellows claiming them to be weak and trash. Therefore, he eliminated all kinds of evidence he could recognize before leaving.

Nonetheless, Davis saw that the third-tier purplish-red karmic sin was too little for it to be helpful to him. If it wasn't at least a meter tall, he wouldn't be able to rest assured as he knew that karmic nature that was less than a meter tall was only slightly better than the previous level or nothing much to be worried about at all if it was a first-tier karmic sin.

He felt that it would be better if he gathered some more. Besides, he also had a few other plans for testing karmic nature as a form of resource for improvement.

'Alright, Klein Zyrus. It seems like a dead end has neared you, but… it's still a few stops away...'

Davis thought to himself, knowing that he should first return as Ancestor Cornelia had probably already become an immortal. Besides, he also knew that Wolfhowl or his lackeys would be waiting for him at the Ghost Tear Hall's branch because he had provoked them by killing their people.

He wasn't in the mood to go, afraid that he might even accidentally include the entire Ghost Tear Hall branch in his kill list, eventually causing him to be chased by the entire sect.

Checking the other contents and making sure that he wasn't being tracked or followed, he left the area, returning to the Thirty-Fourth Fire Phoenix City.

There, he didn't instantly return but took on the persona of Feng Chu and entered the Azure Radiance Slave Traders.

"Ahaha. Patron, welcome back." Yufor greeted without putting a single frown on his face, taking Feng Chu to the slave they had talked about before.

Davis knew that he was already late, but it seemed that minute differences weren't accounted for. Or, perhaps, since he was paying in the millions, he had a privileged patron status or something of that kind to be treated with perks.

He didn't stand on ceremony and instantly handed over one and a half million immortal crystals, causing Yufor's eyes to light up in joy.

"A few moments if you will please, patron."

Davis waited in the exchange room before he got the gift he had been looking for.

However, Davis didn't bother exchanging words with his slave before he unceremoniously took him out for a walk, heading in circles around the city in a carriage as though sightseeing while he had Nadia look for pursuers before he finally deemed that it was safe to return.

By the time he had returned, it was already midnight.

He saw the signs of a banquet that was already over.

'So secretive…'

Davis couldn't help but smile lightly. Even his people hadn't informed him of what was going on, perhaps on a certain order from Shirley or Lea.

However, looking at the lantern that was still burning on the first floor of Klade's mansion, he pulled on the slave chains and appeared at that location, looking at an array of people waiting for him with wide smiles on their faces as the room lit up.

*Topp!~* *Topp!~* *Topp!~*

Fireworks exploded in the large hall as Shirley and Lea invited him with a gesture near the hall gate.

"Welcome back, husband~"
