Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2818  Officially Invited

The twenty-six powers looked at Mo Tian with wonder and excitement, unable to believe that they had a potential Saint in their presence.

After all, Saints and Saintesses were even rarer than Essence Orbs.

The major powers which owned Prefectures had more or less subdued locations that would give them a regular supply of Essence Orbs as long as they kept the environment suitable, untouched, and proper, giving it the most optimal needs to allow Essence Orbs to grow nearly natural.

However, that couldnʼt be said to be the same for Saints, possessors of the saintly life energy.

”Isnʼt the Dragon Alliance and the Phoenix Alliance the only alliances that hold Saints and Saintesses in their ranks?”

Someone couldnʼt help but ask, causing the Zyrus Familyʼs eyes to light up.

”Indeed, the Phoenix Alliance possesses a Saint and a Saintess. Theyʼre married to each other, but as for the Dragon Alliance, they only have a Saint. Nonetheless, all three of them enjoy extreme privileges and are always invited to banquets that happen every ten thousand years when the Dragon and Phoenix Alliance gather for festivities. Even if I wanted to, I could not meet them without the Dragon or Phoenix Allianceʼs approval… sigh.”

The Zyrus Clanʼs Patriarch was full of amazement and unconcealed desire, his gaze falling towards Mo Tian, making the latter shiver ever so lightly.

He almost felt like a naked woman being stripped down to the toe, with many watching him with predatory gazes, wanting to obtain him for this alliance.

ʼWhat the... these elders are thirsty for retaining an existence almost equivalent to the Saintess of yore...ʼ

Davis felt like he underestimated their desire of them wanting to have a Saint in their ranks. He didnʼt particularly dislike this exposure as he was still hidden, but he wondered if his movements would be restricted as it was possible that he could be protected at all times.

It made him remember the times when he was locked up in Loret Family Castle because he was the Crown Prince and had to be protected at all times.

Thinking about it suddenly made him feel nostalgic as he remembered his father and mother, especially the latter, as he sorrily wondered how worried she was for him that he wanted to get to Drake sooner to know more.

Nonetheless, he heard more information as he heard the leaders speak about those saintly people affiliated with the Dragon and Phoenix Alliance.

Apparently, saints still existed, except they were not users of life energy but light energy. Although they were toned-down versions of the mythical beings existing millions of years ago like Saintess Lunaria, it was said that they still possessed a healing prowess comparable to them, making it so that they were also revered as Saints and Saintesses as time passed while no saints with life energy appeared.

This was in line with what Myria told him, that not all Saints and Saintesses possessed life energy in the true immortal world.

”Alright, alright. We have heard enough about the other Saints. Apothecary Mo Tian, what do you think about joining our alliance?”

The Zyrus Family Patriarch threw the question to Davis, causing him to open his mouth.

”I believe that I cannot say anything for sure as this alliance is in its formation, but in the case that it is formed, it is hard to say as I am already thinking about staying in the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan for my safety and growth.”

Davis spoke as he cupped his hands, causing the Starlight Jade Wolf King to be unable to hold himself back from chuckling, feeling prideful.

”Oh, you donʼt need to worry about that. You can stay anywhere you like as long as that place belongs within the alliance territory, which in this case, the Starlight Jade Wolf Clanʼs Jadelight Prefecture will also be part of our alliance soon enough.”

”Thatʼs right. We will only need your help at certain times, and weʼll make sure youʼll be compensated handsomely for every assistance you give us on top of the gifts weʼll offer you to join our alliance. What do you say?”

The Zyrus Family Patriarch and the Bloodcloud Family Patriarch enticed Mo Tian.

”…”

Davis appeared to be shaken by this offer as he lightly smiled.

Many could ʼseeʼ that he was still inexperienced, but then, the Starlight Jade Wolf King spoke up.

”Mo Tian, I believe you should wait before you give your answer. After all, now that you have come clear, the Dragon and Phoenix Alliance should seek you soon enough. They will give you countless more riches than what this alliance could offer.”

”Starlight Jade Wolf King, what is the meaning of offering that statement?” The Cyan Soul Rat Clan Patriarchʼs gaze turned cold, ”Donʼt you realize that you could also lose Mo Tian if the Dragon and Phoenix Alliance took him away?”

”No. Iʼm sure that if Mo Tian requested, they would let me meet him at will. After all, the Dragon and Phoenix Alliance spoils their saints and treats their every request with priority.”

”…”

Many leaders glared at the Starlight Jade Wolf King, appearing like they wanted to rip him apart.

”Thank you for this valuable information, Wolf King. However, if that was my intention, I wouldʼve never come here in the first place as I only wanted to clear my name and go back to being a free person. However, Iʼm not an ungrateful person. I know that only through your grace am I still alive, so unless your Starlight Jade Wolf Clan joins the Dragon and Phoenix Alliance, I will not consider joining them but, instead, linger in the alliance youʼre joining to the best of my ability.”

”…”

The Starlight Jade Wolf King looked at Mo Tian, not expecting this kind of answer.

”Ahaha! Well said. Gratitude is one of the utmost virtue that any immortal should have. Otherwise, theyʼre just scums with power.”

The Lumin Family Patriarch laughed, continuing, ”Wolf King, although there are many types of powers here who adopt different attitudes, it is not clear what the future holds for us as even our current allies might turn on us for their own survival. Recruiting a unique person like Mo Tian will only help us survive in the long run. Since thatʼs the case, I ask you to consider convincing Mo Tian to join this alliance.”

Everyone nodded their head toward the Lumin Family Patriarch, their hearts relaxing a little as they were afraid Mo Tian might change his mind.

On the other hand, the Starlight Jade Wolf Kingʼs expression turned contemplative as he stared at Mo Tian.

”You have given me enough face, Mo Tian. Thatʼs admirable. However, what do you really want? I wonʼt force you to join me either.”

Davis couldnʼt help but blink.

Although his intentions werenʼt bad, it was true that he was deceptive at this moment, so receiving the Starlight Jade Wolf Kingʼs sincere praise only made him feel guilty, not to mention he didnʼt know what kind of backlash he would receive when his true identity was revealed. Nonetheless, he lightly smiled and opened his mouth.

”As long as this alliance doesnʼt bind my actions or restrict my freedom, I would be willing to consider myself an ally and would offer aid whenever possible.”

”…”

The Starlight Jade Wolf King, Zyrus Family Patriarch, and many other leaders couldnʼt help but smile, but there was also something strange about his statement which made them feel weird, but they couldnʼt wrap their heads around it, deciding to throw that thought away as they smiled brightly.

”Thatʼs decided then. The moment this alliance comes to fruition, Mo Tian will become an alliance member and even possess a voting right on par with the third place. Everyone, what do you think about this proposition?”

The Starlight Jade Wolf King turned around and asked, causing the other powers to start considering the advantages and disadvantages of this scenario. After all, it was possible that Mo Tian would support the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan no matter what, giving them an edge over every other power, which would practically make them subordinate powers to the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan.
