Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2847  Making Amends?

The many alliances present in the scene couldnʼt help but raise their brows in astonishment over this announcement.

They never expected the Blue Luan Clan and Vermilion Bird Clan to reconcile with the Fire Phoenix Clan with the long-standing enmity. After all, the Fire Phoenix Clan had slaughtered their people, including their fourth inheritors, causing the two clans to decline that one was forced to garner the protection of the Aurora Cloud Gate while the other had hidden itself in a pocket realm, only daring to show themselves out from time to time.

The ones who hid in a pocket realm were naturally the Vermilion Bird Clan since they were the aggressors who attacked the Fire Phoenix Clan first and failed to obtain protection from any power when they were losing. Since they didnʼt have reason with them, the Aurora Cloud Gate naturally didnʼt grant them asylum in the past as they did for the Blue Luan Clan.

Nonetheless, no matter how the Vermilion Bird Clan tried to take back their glory as they tried to make their comeback in each era, they were ruthlessly stomped in their tracks as the Fire Phoenix Clan had a bounty on their heads, unable to put up a fight against the Fire Phoenix Clan but with their women being captured a lot, it eventually gave birth to the Burning Phoenix Clan that also secluded themselves after separating from the Fire Phoenix Clan.

Some Burning Phoenixes choose to stay in the Fire Phoenix Clan as lesser beings as they would have growth potential, but the other Burning Phoenixes simply left, unwilling to be second-class citizens. The latter group formed the Burning Phoenix Clan, which was not included in the Phoenix Alliance.

Looking at these poor birds who had appeared now, many had pitiful expressions on their faces, but some also found this amusing as these people were nothing but lowly beings in their eyes.

How could they be worthy of joining the Phoenix Alliance?

They only seemed to have a single Immortal Emperor Beast with them, but even that bird looked old, as though it could simply fall to the ground, shivering as they took slow steps into the palace before coming to a stop in front of the crowd.

”The Burning Phoenix Clan thanks the Fire Phoenix Clan for their gracious move. With this, the long years of separation will be ended. It is we who should seek forgiveness for the wrongs done in the past, so we are here to pay our obeisance to the Phoenix Alliance. I, Derel Weiss, the last Ancestor of the Burning Phoenix Clan, will see to it that my clan shall work hard in order to repay the debt we owe to the Fire Phoenix Clan.”

”Those are kind words, Elder Derel Weiss. Weʼll see to it that-”

As Patriarch Killian Zenflame responded diplomatically, Davisʼs gaze shook as he lightly turned to look at his beauties.

There was one whom he particularly looked within them, seeing her shiver as she watched the proceedings with wide eyes.

It was none other than Lea Weiss!

Davis couldnʼt believe that someone from her family line was here and, in fact, took the ancestral position of the Burning Phoenix Clan. Perhaps, they were distanced by thousands of generations, but it didnʼt matter, considering that his Lea had only little left of her Weiss Family, and each member left was valuable even if they were incapable.

And this old man was a Weiss. It was unknown how many Weiss was present in the Burning Phoenix Clan, making him wonder if his Lea would act out of place.

However, he saw that she controlled herself and remained quiet, causing him to purse his lips and glance away.

The Burning Phoenix Clan and the Fire Phoenix Clan eventually came to terms, followed by Patriarch Killian Zenflame turning to look at the Blue Luan Clan and the Vermilion Bird Clan.

”As we have shown our sincerity, it is time for the other two clans to show their determination and sincerity to ensure peace even if our inheritors lose the battle in the Candidacy.”

Hearing his cue, the Blue Luan Clanʼs Patriarch and the Vermilion Bird Clanʼs Patriarch stepped forward, floating towards the stage.

As soon as they arrived, they thanked the Fire Phoenix Clan for their mercy and graciousness, but as they described, everyone could see that these two leaders had forced smiles. It was unknown how much shame they were enduring at this moment.

After all, it was easy to surrender, but their ancestors didnʼt do that because they would rather die than surrender, but at this moment, they, the current leaders, choose to compromise.

However, this couldnʼt be helped as their immortal inheritors advised them so.

But still, anyone could see that this decision wasnʼt taken with all smiles and clamor. It was a decision that put them under the Fire Phoenix Clanʼs graces, making them indebted.

Many couldnʼt help but sigh at this scene. After all, the Blue Luan Clan and the Vermilion Bird Clan were once as strong as them, but now, they were subjected to this kind of disgrace. Their hearts suddenly shook as they couldnʼt help but remind what would happen if they were to fail the Candidacy.

They were all in some sort of alliance, but even that wasnʼt enough to allow them to sleep in peace with the upcoming dread that was the events after the Candidacy.

Who would survive? Who would be swallowed and annexed? Who would be decimated off the face of the First Haven World?

No one was sure about that as it is said that the winner of the Candidacy might also become the Supreme Ruler of the First Haven World!

However, a rumor was only a rumor, and Davis wasnʼt even aware of such a rumor.

He kept watch on the proceedings, trying to notice the minute changes that surged around.

He saw the Luan Clan and Vermilion Clan members shiver in their seats.

He saw Yi Feng, the one responsible for starting the Candidacy as he was the last immortal inheritor to appear in the First Haven World, be taken in by the Starmantle Family that possessed the Starmetal Mantle Physique.

He saw Patriarch Killian Zenflameʼs daughter, Xerna Zenflame, refusing to return to her seat as she stayed in the Aurora Cloud Gateʼs location, not to mention Mistress Zahara or Flamerose, who also refused to return to the Fire Phoenix Clanʼs seats.

He saw many beauties wrapping their arms around heavenly geniuses or immortal inheritors while the vice versa was also true, with powerful men trying to woo beautiful women, some even causing his heart to quiver as their beauty was as overthrowing as Evelynn, Isabella, Shirley, Lea, and Nadia.

Many things were going on at a single time, causing Davis to be almost overwhelmed, but at this moment, he heard something from the stage that made him doubt his ears.

”-ra Luan, Kale Luan, and Peiya Luan. The six of them will be married into the Fire Phoenix Clan: with their partners being-”

Davis blinked and shook his head ever so lightly as he gazed at the Blue Luan Clanʼs Patriarch reading a list of women who were sent to be married into the Fire Phoenix Clan.

The Vermilion Clan made a similar arrangement, causing countless brows to rise.

However, people didnʼt seem to be shocked. After all, if it meant that a power was going out of its way to give way for another power to survive, then it usually meant some kind of benefit must be given to the loftier power.

However, Davis was deeply shocked because included in those names was the senior sister who recruited him into the Aurora Cloud Gate, Zora Luan. When he turned to gaze at her, he could only see her head lowered as her shoulders shook, but as for the others, some were bawling their eyes out silently, appearing unwilling while their elders tried to soothe or forcefully calm them down as they tried to convince them.

”…”

Moreover, it only made his expression change as he turned to look at another person within the Fire Phoenix Clan.

It was none other than Tegon Zenflame.

He gazed at Zora Luan with lustful eyes in addition to curled lips that appeared absolutely wicked. He seemed to be a far cry from the Tegon Zenflame he knew, not appearing arrogant and vain but wretched and vengeful.

It was unknown what kind of punishment he went through after failing to bring back Mistress Zahara, but with him being like that, Davis didnʼt think it was good.

After all, he returned his gaze to Zora Luan, seeing her raise her head to look at Tegon Zenflame with immense anger as she was going to be married to him!
