Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2372 Another Perspective

Having absorbed karmic sin from Haijin Minn, Davis checked the amount of karmic sin he possessed.

He could not see past the ceiling, but he could sense that it had reached thirty-two meters tall, which he considered being almost a tierʼs limit.

After all, he had seen karmic sin and karmic virtue stop growing after becoming thirty-three meters tall. After that, they would undergo some kind of qualitative change to reach the next tier. However, it was unknown how much he needed to absorb in order to allow the second-tier karmic sin to reach the third tier.

ʼHopefully, the bandit triplets and the other target, Klein Zyrus, have enough for me to obtain third-tier karmic sin.ʼ

Davis wished, closing his eyes for a moment as he dropped his hand and relaxed, calming himself down. His eyes then opened, his gaze falling on the still unconscious Haijin Minn.

To kill or not to kill?

It was a question that haunted his conscience.

He had just witnessed Haijin Minnʼs act of saving these women instead of devouring them as eighty-three women were living in his Life Ring. Although Haijin Minn was wrong and sinful for violating them, he was also just a young man, akin to a teenager who didnʼt have any say in his life or cultivation path.

Perhaps, he was forced to do this.

Davis didnʼt know what to do at times like these, as both killing and not killing Haijin Minn seemed like viable options.

ʼHowever… I donʼt understand. Why does this brat need to dual cultivate with karmically virtuous women to gain karmic sin? What use is that when he could just cultivate with women with yin physiques to mend or complete his yang physique? Isnʼt that more viable?ʼ

Davisʼs eyes flashed as he closely considered the possibility that Haijin Minn was planning to use these women he had saved for a final feast. That was even more wicked than the thought of those women getting devoured while being drugged, as the pain would be the least of their concerns as it would be almost non-existent.

Feeling suspicious, his senses dived into the Life Ring once again.

Looking at the situation inside, he saw that the women had somewhat calmed.

The blue-haired woman who was just sent inside seemed to have half her severed arm restored. Considering that there were five immortals healing her, Davis didnʼt find it surprising that they were able to heal her this fast. Nonetheless, he was determined to get to the bottom of this matter since he figured that he still had some time.

”Whatʼs this? There are so many women who were kidnapped and placed here?”

Abruptly, an enraged voice boomed into the Life Ring, causing every woman to stiffen, causing them to be rooted to the spot except the unconscious blue-haired woman. They quivered, raising their heads to look at the skies, but they didnʼt find what they were looking for, causing their eyes to tremble.

”The scent of dual cultivation and the wicked aura remains strong here outside. To think that this brat who still has baby fat on his cheeks took advantage of all of you. Such a person should not be allowed to live any longer.”

”Nooo!!!”

Outside, Davisʼs steps faltered while he was still standing. The level of ʼnoʼ he heard was resounding enough to shake the common sense out of him. Shaking his head, his voice once again penetrated into the Life Ring.

”What? You women wish to protect this evil young man from his wrongdoings?”

”Senior… wait. Please listen to us!”

A white-robed woman flew to the skies and stopped, spreading her arms as she gestured for him to not do anything to Haijin Minn.

Davis saw that she was a Level Two Immortal from her active undulations. She wasnʼt trying to suppress it while the Life Ring seemed to be capable of restricting their undulations within the Life Ring, not letting it pour out.

He felt that it was useful, like his Nine-Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace.

Nevertheless, he figured that this woman was the one the third triplet, Sregor, who bragged about it. Her beauty was on par with his Sophie and a few others, although her voluptuous breasts caused her to stand on top of them in his perspective. Still, she was also the most beautiful out of all the women here.

However, Davis was unmoved. As for the others, most of them wore white robes, while Davis also figured that they used Light Laws that concentrated on healing since those were the types that tend to gather the most karmic virtue as they used it to save people. Perhaps, there were Water Law and Wood Law cultivators as well.

”Speak.”

Davis responded after briefly surveying all of them.

”Senior~” That Level Two Immortal woman spoke, ”Please believe me. Haijin Minn doesnʼt want to harm us. In fact, he has been planning to leave his family as soon as he could enter the Immortal Stage and finally let us out. He doesnʼt wish to harm us nor cage us.”

”You believed such a lie from him?”

Davisʼs voice was full of disdain, but that immortal woman shed tears as she clasped her hands.

”Senior, what Iʼm saying is the truth… please donʼt kill him...”

Her voice sounded helpless and, perhaps, even tired.

Davis gazed at the others and also saw that they had anxious expressions, many of them even bowing like the Level Two Immortal woman did.

”…”

Their reactions only made him think of Stockholm Syndrome, but it wasnʼt his business to involve himself in complicated romantic relationships. What he wanted was to find out the truth.

”You may be a Level Two Immortal, but you seem to have been hypnotized and are subconsciously controlled to make the others afraid to speak out. Let the others speak...”

Davisʼs grumpy, old voice boomed.

”Senior, please believe her. Sheʼs telling the truth.”

”Thatʼs right. Haijin Minn has been good to us. Iʼve been here for three years and have known that youngster. No matter what may have happened, Iʼve decided to accept him as my man, so please donʼt kill him.”

”Yes! I love him! I am not brainwashed!”

”Donʼt you dare kill our man, you old fart!”

”What!?”

Davis didnʼt expect there was a bad-mouthed woman inside of them to rain curses upon him. Instantly, the others grabbed that bad-mouthed woman and tackled her to the ground, sending her soul transmissions to not be offensive.

”Ah!~ Senior, that was nothing. She meant old yet farsighted, righteous man.” A glib-tongued woman further smoothed that out.

”…”

Davis was speechless.

Judging by how these women behaved, it didnʼt seem like they were oppressed but seemed to be having the time of their life here?

He also saw many medicinal herbs growing here.

Was this how Haijin Minn was able to play off his Life Ring as something he used to grow medicinal herbs? Was he perhaps an alchemist?

”Whatʼs going on? Didnʼt this man named Haijin Minn have you all kidnapped and violated? Even if it was his family, he is still to blame by virtue of birth. The next generation will naturally inherit all the good things and bad things. If thatʼs the case, then Haijin Minn is punishable by death.”

Davisʼs gloomy voice once again resounded as though he wouldnʼt take no for an answer.

The next moment, a green-robed woman flew higher, appearing by that white-robed immortal woman.

This green-robed woman was conspicuous because Davis noticed that she was one of the very few women who maintained a distance from the others. He had been watching her facial reactions to the chaotic swirl of emotions these women exhibited, and quite frankly, he could say that she was detached from the others.

Just as he was wondering what she was going to say, she opened her mouth.

”Senior, Iʼm not sure of whatʼs going on as I just recently had my chastity taken and brought here, but with so many women vouching for Haijin Minnʼs character, I donʼt know what to think. Iʼve also had the chance to talk to him as he communicates with us through the Life Ring sometimes when he is alone. From what Iʼve seen and heard, Haijin Minn is similar to a gentle soul… but his family resorts to kidnapping women like us to further his cultivation.”

”Why?”

”Iʼm not sure. But even if he should receive punishment in the case of virtue of birth, then so be it. You can end our lives as well since we all share a common destiny as no one in our close family is probably alive. Weʼre fated to live a cruel life anyway.”

”…”

Davis didnʼt know what to say to that heavy tone, but he recognized that this green-robed woman was nihilistic at the moment as the other women did but also didnʼt seem to share her sentiments. They had hope in their eyes as though Haijin Minn would truly save them one day.

”The Minn Family dared to kill all your families?” However, Davisʼs brows frowned.
