Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2378 Lucrative

From the start of the ambush till Davisʼs departure, only two minutes had passed.

But within another five minutes, numerous entities arrived within that mountain valley and surveyed the aftermath, their expression turning into an array of complex looks, some intrigued while some others shocked.

One of them even performed a divination technique using the remnant aura of the blood staining the foggy surface of the valley. However, the result ended up astonishing them.

”What a clean kill… To think that assassin even severed the binds of karma with their attack to a level that I canʼt sense anymore. Just who was it that is capable of this kind of feat?”

”Whoever it is, it seems that they have comprehended a higher form of Darkness Laws. The quality between their concealment and mine is like an abyss since I canʼt even find where that assassin had initially concealed himself. I, Wolfhowl of the Ghost Tear Hall, admit defeat.”

”Ahaha~ I donʼt care who accomplished this feat or about you admitting defeat. Iʼm more interested in how they were able to kill a Level Nine Immortal. Look at that crushed body. Obviously, it seemed to have been flattened by a giant hammer of some kind.”

”It seems fanatics canʼt even consider the possibility of that assassin using their own backing to kill the targetʼs bodyguards or servants. Although this is a thin line that an assassin shouldnʼt walk in order to hone their own skills to the fullest, I donʼt care as long as they donʼt use their backing to kill the target. In fact, that assassin seemed to have quite the concealment skills since an Oracular Reaver Abode assassin claims to be unable to follow their trace.”

”Tch, if it werenʼt for that Immortal King, I wouldʼve been able to slice the targetsʼ necks head-on!”

It was unknown who was who as everyoneʼs figure was clad in darkness even as the rays of dawn shined on them. However, their discussions only lasted for a brief moment before silence returned to the world.

The nameless assassins had left, including the one who named himself. They seemed to all have their own pace to follow.

In truth, these assassins would meet occasionally and would fight over every head they could chance upon in their mission. Such was their life, but it was unknown if it was pitiful or exciting.

However, there was an assassin who was moving in a similar direction as Davis did. Abruptly, three more figures appeared around that assassin, their cultivations seeming to be one level above him at Level Three Immortal Stage.

However, they all adopted a submissive posture, bending their torso lightly and keeping their chin down as they followed him.

”Senior brother Wolfhowl, it seems like the rookies we recruited in the Thirty-Second Fire Phoenix Cityʼs branch have been killed.”

”Hmm? Who?”

”Some male rookie assassin called Dead End...”

Wolfhowl narrowed his eyes, seemingly descending into contemplation before he shook his head.

”Weʼll ambush Dead End in the city. Once you get wind of him entering the branch, immediately alert me. Fortunately, Iʼll be near this time.”

”Yes. Junior brother wishes success in your next mission.”

The assassin behind spoke using wishing words, but his grave tone sounded like he had just woken up from a grave.

Wolfhowl didnʼt respond. Their silhouette flying through the clear skies was shady, almost imperceivable even to the average Level One Immortal eyes, perhaps even further.

Their techniques were honed and illustrious, most likely at Immortal Grade.

However, without even knowing that the assassin they were trying to ambush was hiding in a cave a few tens of kilometers away from them in another mountain range, they rushed past the other side, making their way to the Thirty-Second Fire Phoenix City.

On that mountain cave…

”Iʼm rich…!”

Immortal crystals swirled in the air as the aura of immortal heaven and earth energy erupted.

However, they were all interlocked by an unseen hand, disallowing their overwhelming aura to spread from the cave.

At the same time, a sweet, little, dark-winged wolf jumped and bit down on those fist-sized crystal spheres, eating them in chunks as though it was drinking water. Those immortal energy crystal spheres were gone as soon as they entered its mouth, quickly being absorbed by its body in an instant.

”Haha… wait, Nadia. Iʼll let you absorb as much as you want after I fully go through what we gained.”

Davis grabbed Nadia, feeling her soft and fluffy fur brush against his face as her three tails lashed out at him.

”Aiya, youʼre learning to get playful, arenʼt you?”

Nadia was displaying a happy wolf expression as she nodded her head, ”This form is way convenient for me to move, master. Then, master cuddles me. Evelynn and the other sisters also nestle me… it feels wonderful~”

She whimpered, dancing upon his arm as she struck his chest with her little paws.

Davis couldnʼt help but smile, ”Are you sure you wonʼt accidentally strike some of them since they donʼt have the Emperor-Tier Aura?”

”Thatʼs fine, master. I know how to control myself.” Nadia kept hopping as she kept moving her forelegs.

Davisʼs lips widened before he raised his hand and patted Nadia.

It seemed like Nadia didnʼt need to show restraint while being in this little form.

Was this also a way for the Emperor-Tier Immortal Beasts to release some stress or a way to hide? After all, there was no way even immortal beasts could become this small, causing Davis to feel that genetics or bloodline was truly a mysterious thing.

Nonetheless, he got onto checking the spatial rings, having some excitement as well as some expectation as he already glimpsed what was inside.

After all, the first thing he checked was for any kind of traps, thereafter devices or tiny-contrived formations that could be tracked to the spatial coordinate of the spatial ring, throwing them all out into another spatial ring as he used a soul body to do the trash work.

Even if he did get followed, it would not be his main body that gets the flak.

However, not everyone could be like him, severing a percentage of his soul essence to power the soul body as a soul body would require more than ten percent at higher stages. Davis could do it again and again but not the others. Even if an expert soul cultivator did it, they would become retarded.

After all, they didnʼt possess life energy to heal instantly.

If they used up their soul essence, even bit by bit, it was likely they would fall into a coma.

Sometime later, Davis emptied out the immortal crystals from the loot consisting of four spatial rings. As for the other loot that was on the ground or destroyed, he paid them no heed.

ʼWell, thatʼs about thirty million immortal crystals as expected, but the unexpected thing is these triplets had so much wealth other than the one they had just received...ʼ

Davis was truly shocked to find a total of sixty-three million immortal crystals in three of their main spatial rings. As for the Level Nine Immortal, he only had a measly change of a few hundred thousand immortal crystals when compared to them.

But together, the amount came to ninety-three million immortal crystals!
