Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 911 Miscalculation

Ancestor Dian Alstreim nodded his head, "Yes, this rule was placed to discourage life and death battles."

"However, it never stopped people from issuing a challenge. They would all come in groups to challenge you to life and death battle if you win."

"The people of the Alstreim Family are no cowards. They will not stop until they kill you. They will go all out, and even if they cannot kill you, they will try to expend your energy before finally being able to kill you with many casualties on their side."

"Such cases aren’t unheard of, and I assure you that they will stop at nothing!"

"That’s why I cannot allow you to die!"

Davis became stunned at hearing Ancestor Dian Alstreim’s words.

He was not stunned at the ridiculous rules of the life and death battle since he possessed the means to kill every single one of them in an instant. Instead, he was astonished that Ancestor Dian Alstreim cared about him, obviously because of his talent but...

What did he amount to in front of an Immortal Inheritance!?

When his father’s two brothers appeared, he forced them to reveal Earth’s location as he could tell that Meng Ying was a woman from Earth. He forced them to reveal the location by being an asshole, holding Meng Ying hostage.

When he could act like this, he expected that Ancestor Dian Alstreim wouldn’t be any different, holding his family hostage.

However, it seemed like Ancestor Dian Alstreim was going to do anything harmful to him by the looks of it?

"You’re not interested in the Forsaken Phoenix Realm?" Davis felt that it was absurd.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim should know that other than Princess Isabella, Nadia, and Natalya, everyone else in their group is from the Forsaken Phoenix Realm.

"Hmm... I thought you would be deeply offended if I brought it out, but it seems like you do not like mincing words like me..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim seemed to nod his head in appreciation fairly.

"I am indeed interested in the Forsaken Phoenix Realm’s Immortal Inheritance but compared to your presence, which is heaven-sent, I don’t think that the Immortal Inheritance is important for now. I do not know the way to the Forsaken Phoenix Realm, nor do I think it is smart to offend a talent of your caliber to have a chance at the Immortal Inheritance to ourselves."

"I personally don’t feel any greed towards the Immortal Inheritance as I had already lived for long and lost my qualifications to participate in the trials according to our Grand Library records."

"I see..." Davis’s lips widened into a smile, "But that still does not explain you not forcefully restraining me right now. If you ask me, that’s the best way to gain the way to the Immortal Inheritance."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim shook his head to the blatant provocation as he chuckled, "I believe that gaining you is also a valid way in obtaining the gateway to the Immortal Inheritance. Having you in the Alstreim Family means that the Alstreim Family would also possess access to the Immortal Inheritance, and this would further our destiny in the world."

Davis narrowed his brows in scrutiny. The severity of this matter is great, and it was too hard for him to believe this person’s words. He didn’t know whether if he could trust this person’s character. He could not use Misdirection to lead Ancestor Dian Alstreim into speaking the truth as it would be easily found out considering the cultivation base difference.

Furthermore, he could not use his Heart Intent to feel the other party’s true emotions as that would be found out as well. He was left to his intuition to make the decision like all normal and clueless people.

"You may not know, but the Alstreim Family is declining with its current growth rate, and even if we do gain an Ancestor, it would perhaps be the last. I feel we are nearing the end of our destiny. The Calamity Light above the sky honestly scares me. I’d rather rely on your growth than rely on Immortal Inheritances that is only capable of producing an Immortal once the person with the right aptitude arrives. After all, isn’t it said that individuals who have reached the fabled Immortal Stage are eccentric and quirky?"

Davis didn’t know what to say to this rather optimistic and dependent-view, but he became silent. His mind spun for a while before he felt like he had found the answer.

"Is it the Tripartite Alliance?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim smiled, "That’s right! You’re sharp to notice that. One of the main reasons why I chose to rely on you is because of the Towering Cloud Hall and the Falling Snow Sect. If we, the Alstreim Family, show suspicious activity in the Tripartite Alliance Territory, it will naturally be investigated, and it won’t be long before they find out that we possess the key to the entrance of the Forsaken Phoenix Realm."

"I don’t ever want them to find that out!"

"However, Daniuis Alstreim’s presence complicates things as he is the only lead we have left to find the aboriginals’ locations, which is for better or worse, of course, your group. Many people had already seen Daniuis Alstreim in the Grand Welcoming Hall, perhaps even before entering Grand Welcoming Hall. If the Towering Cloud Hall and Falling Snow Sect get wind of it, although I doubt if anything would happen to Daniuis Alstreim with me being here, his children are still in their powers."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim narrowed his eyes in hesitation.

Davis wasn’t surprised that Ancestor Dian Alstreim knew about Daniuis Alstreim. After all, Daniuis Alstreim and his family were also at the estate when Ancestor Dian Alstreim came to ’visit’. The only problem was that perhaps they shouldn’t have included Daniuis Alstreim in their plans.

It was a miscalculation on their part as it now presently backfired. If Daniuis Alstreim was still hidden, then his children in the Towering Cloud Hall and Falling Snow Sect wouldn’t be in danger. But on the other hand, Daniuis Alstreim wouldn’t have gotten the justice he desired this easily either.

However, he couldn’t say that Daniuis Alstreim’s children will remain safe forever. After all, the two powers could always use them as a hostage to bait Daniuis Alstreim out.

"Can’t we spread rumors that Daniuis Alstreim truly doesn’t know about the aboriginals?" Davis suggested with a testing tone.

"That’s doable..."

"But it won’t make any sense as each power is tightly withholding that information. If we purposefully spread information, it would rather be obvious that there is indeed something suspicious about Daniuis Alstreim."

"So granduncle Daniuis is stuck between a rock and a hard place..."

Davis couldn’t help but feel that it was his fault. However, he already had some plans in mind.

’Grand Elder Rakhgal Theren and Grand Elder Rosella Frostblight, right?’ Davis inwardly smiled.

With them, he could easily get the job done by manipulating them. However, he didn’t want to be hasty in this matter as it involved the many lives of granduncle Daniuis’s children, including Grand Elder Rakhgal Theren and Grand Elder Rosella Frostblight, whose lives were innocent in this matter.

If possible, he didn’t want to kill them wrongly. Plus, he didn’t want to reveal his trump cards easily either.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim was no fool, and probably the Ancestors of the Towering Cloud Hall and Falling Snow Sect were the same. They would notice something about the Grand Elders’ strange actions that could lead to him, the Conferred Queen’s Protector since it was well known that he could manipulate people after making them slaves.
