Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1272 - Sending An Expedition?

ʼWhat a spoilsport...ʼ Davis couldnʼt help but think that was an opportunity missed to tease Ancestor Dian Alstreim.

”What do you mean? How can they all be alive...?” Ancestor Dian Alstreim regained back his calm after feeling his heart palpitating a bit louder.

If it were anyone else, he wouldnʼt have dared to believe the words that come out of their mouth, but since it was Nero Alstreim, the man who came back from the dead the same place as everyone else he claimed to be alive died, then he couldnʼt help but want to believe that others are alive too.

”Ancestor, those of us who fell into a spatial crack survived, but I do not know if all who fell into it survived as Iʼm not extremely sure of the complete details. However, the people who were all trapped with us said the same thing, that they were swallowed by a spatial crack.” Nero Alstreim explained, feeling that he had really come back home.

He was moved enough to cry, but he knew this was not the time.

”Spatial crack...?” Ancestor Dian Alstreim found it hard to believe, while Ancestor Tirea Snow also had a shocked expression on her face.

Usually, those who fell into spatial cracks would be torn apart by space itself, but in this case, they all or most of them seemed to be taken to another space where they got trapt all these years, not obtaining a method of communication for all these years before someone finally returned.

Nevertheless, he found it hard to believe as he turned to look at Davis as if asking for his opinion.

”I found a way to a sealed space that trapt them all, and I brought Nero Alstreim back here to verify that I am not planning something hideous against them,” Davis spoke with a smile as he shrugged.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim instantly understood that it had to with the struggle the two families had. He thought for a moment before nodding with an ecstatic smile.

”This is extremely joyous news for us, the entire Alstreim Family! I didnʼt think those who had their life tablets shattered still had their lives with them, trapped in some damn space, blocking their return to the family.”

”There were also people from other powers trapped in that place, you know...” Davis added.

”What...?” Ancestor Dian Alstreimʼs expression changed, ”What kind of powers?”

”A lot of people from Emperor Grade Powers who invade the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago every five hundred years, with the main being a wicked path power, the Infernal Lightning Palace...”

Ancestor Dian Alstreim expression became ugly while his wifeʼs expression became solemn. They seemed to have instantly understood the gravity of the situation.

”What is the enemyʼs greatest cultivation base?”

”Peak-Level Law Sea Stage...” Davis added as he blinked.

”Did many of us die?” Ancestor Dian Alstreim asked with a solemn tone.

”Yes!” Nero Alstreim became emotional, ”If it werenʼt for grandpa, I mean, Elder Ezekiel Alstreim, we wouldʼve all come under the tyrannical rule of the Infernal Lightning Palace.”

”Very good! To think that Elise Alstreimʼs husband is such a brave character who would dare oppose the Infernal Lightning Palace!”

Ancestor Dian Alstreim couldnʼt help but clench his fists in excitement, ”Davis and Nero, Iʼll prepare an expedition team consisting of seven Grand Elders to rescue them from the damned place they had been trapped in for all this time. With my word, theyʼll obey your command. Wait, no... Now that we gained two more powerhouses ourselves, I think Iʼll head there with you two myse-”

”Ancestor...” Nero Alstreim couldnʼt help but interject in a low voice, nervous that he might arouse his anger.

”What?” Ancestor Dian Alstreim didnʼt seem to be offended but curious.

Nero Alstreim pointed at Davis while he appeared complicated, ”He killed every Infernal Lightning Palace people...”

”...”

”Accurately, it was his magical beast, that King-Tier Magical Beast but... It was on his command that it killed every Seventh and Eighth Stage Experts other than us. Using its concealment, it practically massacred everyone there of threat like a massacre caused by a massive slaughter done by the assassin organizations.” He additionally explained.

Both Ancestors couldnʼt help but look at Davis in deep amazement.

”The situation has already been taken care of...?” Ancestor Tirea Snow couldnʼt help but ask in astonishment.

”Yes, thereʼs practically no harm in the sealed space. Davis essentially took care of them almost within the first day he entered.” Nero Alstreim appeared relaxed and thankful as he looked at Davis.

He mightʼve been suspicious of his intent, but not anymore after he looked at the interaction he had with his daughter. His daughter even called him ʼsonʼ, almost causing him to choke. Does that mean that he is now his step-grandfather from father-in-law or vice versa? Perhaps both?

The type of relation he had with him alone caused him a headache, but he still couldnʼt help but inwardly laugh as he thought about it. He had seen people fall into these messed-up relations, but to think he would have fallen into one. This kind of irony made him laugh at himself.

”What about their spatial rings? Donʼt tell me you have it all taken out and carried out here!?” Ancestor Dian Alstreim thought of another horrifying possibility.

”Heh! Did you think that I would make such a low-level mistake?” Davis scoffed, ”I threw away all kinds of tracking items and other unusual things I couldnʼt identify or found suspicious into one spatial ring and buried it somewhere in the sealed space. Of course, if you want to take that spatial ring, go ahead, but Iʼll take fifty percent in the form of Peak-Level Spirit Stones if you later manage to identify what those items are...”

Ancestor Dian Alstreimʼs lips twitched, but he relaxed, feeling relieved. If Davis had really come out with the entirety of their spatial rings, then there was a high chance that they mightʼve been found by those powers, including the Infernal Lightning Palace.

At that time, even if they werenʼt the ones who killed them, it would be easier for the Infernal Lightning Palace and the other powers to place blame on them before proceeding to massacre them like itʼs someone elseʼs problems.

”Good! Not only you are strong, but also smart...” He complimented.

Davis shrugged as if it was obvious, appearing arrogant to everyone present.

Nero Alstreim smirked and added as if further inflating his ego, ”Besides, only he can enter that sealed space as he pleases...”

Ancestor Dian Alstreim became confused, ”When you said you fell into spatial cracks, doesnʼt that mean thatʼs an entrance that everyone can use?”

Nero Alstreim thought for a moment before he answered, ”I think we can enter if we willingly fall into the spatial crack, but I donʼt know for sure if we would survive as we land on the sealed space or get ripped apart by the spatial storm present inside the spatial crack.”

”Nevertheless, even if we can enter, exiting is impossible! The Lightning Sea there is absolutely capable of killing Peak-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouses! Only Davis had found a way to enter and exit that Lightning Sea as he pleases...”

Ancestor Dian Alstreim became flabbergasted, ”Your meaning is now that Davis owns the sealed space?”

Nero Alstreim became taken aback at this view before he couldnʼt help but nod his head, ”I think so...?”

Ancestor Dian Alstreim blinked three to four times before he sighed, ”Davis, how many surprises are you going to show me?”

”I still have three more...” Davis raised his brows.

”Three more...?” Ancestor Dian Alstreimʼs lips twitched, not knowing what to say to these surprises other than feeling excited about it.

Before Davis came, things were quite calm with him not going to offend anybody without being provoked first as he maintained a passive stance, but he couldnʼt help but feel his blood boil when he heard that Davis secretly massacred the people of the Infernal Lightning Palace.

He wished that Davis left him some of those bastards in that sealed space to make him be able to release some stress by killing them. After all, since that was a place where communication was impossible, it was unlikely for the Infernal Lightning Palace to know what he did. Furthermore, he gets to avenge some of his Ancestorsʼ pain in watching their resourceful danger zone be plundered by outsiders. But since Davis had already done that, he was satisfied as well as proud, thinking that his decision to not pursue the matter of Forsaken Phoenix Realm was the right one!

Davis chuckled before he looked at Nero, ”Arenʼt you going to say?”

”You say it... As the person who brought me out and is going to bring us out of that damned space, the glory is all yours....” Nero Alstreim satisfactorily smiled.

Davis didnʼt say anything in return as he looked at the two Ancestors as he raised his hand and stretched out three fingers, ”Including you two, there are three Ancestors who belong to the Alstreim Family.”

”...”

Ancestor Dian Alstreim blinked, not understanding the sentence before his eyes slowly became wide as it began to tremble.

”Didnʼt I say that there is a powerhouse willing to lay their life for the Alstreim Family?” Davis chuckled, ”Itʼs Ezekiel Alstreim. He became a Low-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouse in the sealed space and managed to thwart the attacks of the Infernal Lightning Palace while protecting the family!”

”So if I bring Ezekiel Alstreim back to the family, weʼll be essentially having five... no six powerhouses because my Nadia has also reached Peak-Level King Beast Stage...” Davis deeply smiled, ”Thatʼs the second surprise...”

”!!!”e

Ancestor Dian Alstreimʼs body couldnʼt help but tremble amidst their gaze.

”Whatʼs the third surprise...?” Ancestor Tirea Snow couldnʼt help but ask amidst the shock she and Dian had received.

At this point, Davisʼs smile had become a little overbearing, ”I have entered the King Soul Stage and became a true Soul King in this training session...”

Ancestor Dian Alstreimʼs and Ancestor Tirea Snowʼs hearts rapidly pounded as they heard Davisʼs words that sent them waves that rocked their hearts as if there were a loud gong being hammered in them!
