Divine Emperor of Death

Uncle Erik, on the way to this cave hideout, only worked on the two spatial rings for a short time before he threw away many tracking items that could potentially harm them.

He then gave it back to Davis who then pocketed it for the time being with no one coming to ask for a share in the loot.

======

The Su Triplets, Lucas and Lucia used an escape route that was in their cave residence to get to the rear part of the cave hideout.

They quickly reached the end of the hidden path which was a narrow cave where seeping water was already prevalent and jumped out.

Lucas upon landing caught sight of the woman he had been incredibly worried about while escaping, ”Nina!”

Quite a distance away from Lucas, Nina who was heading to the rear with a few others suddenly heard someone incredibly familiar call her name.

Even before she turned to look at him, her eyes turned moist as she shouted back, ”Lucas!”

They quickly ran towards each other, leaving their respective group.

Within seconds, they were tightly embracing themselves in a hug, feeling each otherʼs warmth while their groups respectively watched.

Nina had wanted to return and find Lucas but she was forcefully persuaded and dragged away by Ophelia, saying that they had some means to escape. Only then did she let herself be reluctantly taken away.

Lucia finally had some resemblance to waking up from her nightmare. She no longer had the vacant look but was replaced by her moist yet determined eyes.

”Father...” She could only helplessly mutter as she regretted her actions. The last memory she had of her father was when she turned into a disobedient and stubborn brat.

The Su Triplets also had expressions of grieving but their gazes were already determined like Lucia.

”Lucas, Nina, letʼs go!” Su Hualing shouted while her eyes were red. She could only find solace at the fact that Nina was still safe, not dead.

She had reasons to care because her grandchild was being carried by Nina, however, even without that, she was a kind soul.

She saw Ninaʼs group and echoed, ”What are you waiting for!?”

Ophelia and the others were stunned. Initially, Ophelia wanted to address her grievances for being abandoned but Su Hualingʼs shout left her reeling in guilt.

She had declined one of their sonʼs advances so many times, yet her idol, Su Hualing was as magnanimous as ever! Her eyes quickly changed into a zealous glint as she flew towards them with a cheerful expression on her face.

Sasha and Haus who were not privy to Leader Daniuisʼs plan of abandonment joyously followed.

Su Hualing shot a glance over to the people who were dead. Their corpses were floating on the flowing water which was already somewhat reddish in color.

She shook her head feeling somewhat gloomy and went towards the rear entrance. The others also promptly followed as they stuck together.

Soon, at the rear entrance were a few masked people who seemed to be waiting for some people.

As for the scattered members of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries who luckily survived, they all escaped through the rear entrance.

Su Hualing and the others stood before them and stayed silent, not daring to speak up.

Suddenly Lucia stepped forward as determination shone in her eyes, ”Please help my father!”

She was prepared to do anything in exchange for rescuing her father!

Su Hualingʼs heart shook, so did the others who heard her speak. The child she had been carrying in her embrace was already awake and looked at the masked group with curiosity in its eyes, not intending to speak or throw a tantrum.

All the masked people turned to look at her, their eyes were seemingly able to place heavy pressure on her.

With a few breaths of silence from the exit of the cave, the atmosphere became increasingly heavy before a masked person approached Lucia.

Seeing someone walking towards her in high strides, Luciaʼs heart leaped in fright, however, she quickly suppressed her fear and bravely looked at the figure whom she identified to be a woman.

The masked woman stood in front of her and suddenly reached out her hand towards her head.

Luciaʼs heart froze, and so did the others. They all suddenly began secretly making preparations to fight in trepidation, however, they stopped.

Lucia became stunned when she felt the masked womanʼs hand on her left cheek, caressing with sincere warmth.

She couldnʼt help but think, ʼIs this person perhaps the one who called my father uncle?ʼ

Claire looked at Lucia who was supposed to be her cousin, even a close friend. She couldnʼt help but wonder how wonderful it wouldʼve been if they had been together from her childhood.

Nevertheless, Uncle Daniuis was exiled and even if she was a little bit older, she couldnʼt have changed the fact at that time.

Lucia just heard a chuckle before a melodious voice rang out, ”Your father is already saved.”

She saw the masked woman looking behind and saw two figures flying over towards them with a man behind one of their backs.

”Father!” Lucia instantly cried once she saw her fatherʼs battered and bloodied figure.

Davis kept Daniuisʼs body on the surface bed, which was quite suitable for placing down.

The others also simultaneously cried out their grievance while Claire frowned.

She didnʼt blame Davis like a typical mother but quickly spoke with a Soul Transmission, ”Davis, can you heal your Grand Uncle?”

Davis shook his head, ”Impossible. Grand Uncleʼs cultivation can be graded at King Grade and we have no corresponding medicinal pill to cure him.”

He then explained, ”Mother, Grand Uncleʼs meridians have collapsed and some routes are barely holding up. His meridians arenʼt destroyed yet, while his dantian is unharmed. We can stabilize his injuries first and then leave quickly before the Tripartite Alliance arrives.”

Claireʼs eyes lit up in appreciation. Looks like her son had already thought of the necessary and appropriate measures!

”Does anyone have a King Grade Medicinal Pill?”

Su Hualing and the others simultaneously shook their heads.

”The few King Grade Medicinal Pills were already used up by our husband.”

”We only have some Peak-Level Sky Grade Medicinal Pill to stabilize his injuries.”

Su Huabing and Su Huajing echoed out!

”Good! Use those first!” Claire echoed and then pointed at Lucas, ”You!”

”Me?” Lucas froze.

”Yes, once theyʼre finished stabilizing your fatherʼs injuries, carry your father! Weʼre leaving as soon as possible!”

”Yes!” Lucas could only nod his like a pecking hen.

In front of these masked people, he dared not to say anything silly, afraid that he might incur their wrath.

But why did he feel a hint of goodwill from the masked woman? Was it because she had called his father her uncle? Maybe thatʼs why their father said to regroup with these masked people.

The Su Triplets also came to gradually understand this point seeing that they held no hostile intent.

Daniuisʼs injuries quickly stabilized in a few minutes upon being fed a Peak-Level Sky Grade Medicinal Pill but his condition was still worse.

At this time, Davis gave 6 spatial rings to Uncle Erik to remove the tracking items. The latter gave back 7 spatial rings, already taking it from the green-haired man who exploded into pieces around this place.

Unfortunately, none of them had King Grade Medicinal Pills which confused Davis to an endless degree.

ʼThe Tripartite Alliance doesnʼt have King Grade Pills? Are they misers?ʼ Davis cursed under his breath not knowing that the outer faction is poorer and restricted than the inner faction.

But the Grand Elder had some King Grade Pills!

Nevertheless, even the mighty Grand Elder didnʼt possess any suitable King Grade Medicinal Pills, irking him to an endless degree. He didnʼt know that they were all kept in the headquarters of the Tripartite Alliance, only allowed to take away once it was required, after all, the expenses belonged to the entirety of the Tripartite Alliance, not an individual.

The moment Daniuisʼs injuries were taken care of, they all left the underground cave and escaped towards the horizon, moving north with a destination in mind.
