Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 3295 No Other Way?

”…”

Mistress Zaharaʼs gaze shook.

Before, she hadnʼt considered that the Zenflame Clan could overthrow the Auraflame Clan in the Fire Phoenix Lower Realm as she didnʼt even know about the Auraflame Clan before, but after hearing her origin and becoming aware of the consequences, she was forced to reconsider.

Her expression underwent a few changes ever so lightly, as though she was truly mulling over the need to eradicate the Zenflame Clan.

However, before she could say anything, Davis strode around to her and lifted her up by grabbing her shoulders, making her stand straight.

”Youʼre a Queen now and many times pretty, so donʼt kneel so easily. Be seated first.”

Davis gestured for Mistress Zahara to sit on the couch and spoke as though he was advising, causing her to subconsciously follow.

He looked at her confused expression that was still shaken. Nonetheless, he was willing to listen to her opinion because, unlike the Fire Phoenix Clan Inheritors, these two were his and Shirleyʼs benefactors.

They didnʼt restrict Shirley much and even advised Clara.

Furthermore, through blood connection, she could be said to be Shirleyʼs godmother.

Even Mistress Yeyin was the same, and it could also be said that he carried their blood once within his body by reaping Shirleyʼs primal yin essence, although it had all been digested by his chaotic-tempered body, leaving him true to his own blood that was pure but also many times stronger with extreme potential.

Nonetheless, he returned to his seat and gazed at them.

”Davis, if your words are true—” Mistress Yeyin spoke, ”I mean, we believe your words are true. Otherwise, the connection between our blood and souls couldnʼt be explained. However, the fact that the Auraflame Clan is in a precarious position is a bit hard to believe.”

”Iʼm also not fully aware of the situation, so that is merely my hypothesis based on the account of the Auraflame Clanʼs disciples.”

Davis didnʼt hide anything, ”However, the reason Iʼm taking revenge is because they almost made my Shirley their slave. If it werenʼt for Blazing Thunderlight Sectʼs Founder laughing amusingly and explaining the trick behind it, I wouldʼve never guessed and wronged Shirley, essentially ruining our lives. That is an undeniable reality, which the Zenflame Clan must repay with blood. Or else, I cannot face her or others, and I would lose my way and potentially cause my Law Heart to take a hit, becoming indecisive in the future, which will prove to be fatal.”

”I would not be able to live with myself.” Davis enunciated.

Back in the Astral Forgeheart Minor Realm, he was decisive in leaving after a period of contemplation. On the other hand, if he had chosen to wait and see, even if he had not participated in the realm concoction, that could be smart or indecisive, depending on the result.

The result couldʼve been most likely fatal, so he was glad his heart was steady and remained decisive enough to leave the Astral Forgeheart Minor Realm and avoid a catastrophe that was brewing.

”…”

He shook his head gently and had a calm gaze after saying his piece, leaving Mistress Zahara and Mistress Yeyin feeling heavy.

Their expressions were complicated behind their veils. After all, there was no need for him to explain himself to them. However, the fact that he was doing this meant he respected them.

However, why ask if he was going to kill them anyway?

”I understand.” Mistress Zahara suddenly looked as though she realized it, her eyes clouded with a bit of tears, becoming determined, ”If it is possible, please apprehend all Fire Phoenix Clanʼs upper echelon. Iʼll personally kill them all and take over the Zenflame Clan as its ruler.”

”…”

Davisʼs eyes flashed.

”As for the young geniuses and the other problematic clansmen, Iʼll… euthanize them.”

”Haha.”

Davis couldnʼt help but chuckle at the words Mistress Zahara somehow forced through her mouth before he shook his head.

”Thatʼs crueler than killing them off and would only serve to bolster their hatred. They would either try to do everything in their power to ruin my familyʼs life-”

”No.” Mistress Zahara looked dumbfounded by his chuckle but quickly came out of her reverie, ”Youʼre not an ordinary man. With all due respect, youʼre a calamity, so theyʼll stay away while theyʼre down, not even having the courage to face you.”

Davis paused as he let her speak before smiling, ”-or they would seek to foster their hatred onto another race. For example… take it out on the Burning Phoenix Clan, they consider to be inferior. Do you think my Lea would stand and watch the Burning Phoenix Clan that heavily declined over the years to suffer once again?”

”Thatʼs why I would lead them.” Mistress Zaharaʼs voice was firm or even stubborn.

However, Davis calmly shook his head.

”No, I presume you will be in the true immortal world after the Candidacy. Your thoughts or even the place you belong would change after you regain your memories.”

”…”

Mistress Zahara quickly opened her mouth to retort, but no words came out as she intrinsically knew that she might not be tied to this place since her origin was murky.
What if someone important to her in the Auraflame Clan needed her?

”Mercy is good.” Davis smilingly stood up, ”If possible, I would also like to forgive half of the Fire Phoenix Clan, but theyʼre over their heads and never back down. Finally, when they can no longer kill me and end up knowing the true destruction I can bring forth, theyʼre finally looking for me, sending their diplomatic elders to seek me out day and night. Donʼt you think theyʼre the kind of people who would kick people down when theyʼre superior and beg when theyʼre inferior?”

”I know…!” Mistress Zahara cried out.

”I know… even in my memories… fake memories… I still donʼt have a good opinion of them… but the entire cultivation world is like that… it is up to the strong to make things right…”

”…”

Davis couldnʼt help but still smile.

To make things right… that kind of thinking was what allowed Shirley to be with him instead of being restricted by the vows of the inheritance that an inheritor would make for the betterment of the faction. He knew for a fact that the phoenix woman in front of him was truly righteous, and it didnʼt change even if she lost her memories, wanting to make things right no matter her situation.

”Unfortunately…” Davis heaved a long sigh as he turned around and walked towards the exit.

”Iʼm not that type of person anymore. Anything and anyone who stands in my way, Iʼll eradicate them all…”

His voice traversed across the hall, greatly shaking their hearts.

Mistress Zahara and Mistress Yeyin couldnʼt say anything other than watch him leave.

”But… I was recently spared by someone, so I think I might be in the mood for the same depending on their subsequent actions, although most of the upper echelon is disappearing for sure…”

His nonchalant voice soared once again, causing Mistress Zaharaʼs eyes that had gone dull to revive.

”Wai-”

But before she could say anything, he already disappeared, leaving her dumbfounded as to what he meant.

A powerful person like him was spared by someone? What did it mean?

”Zahara, you better use this chance to take over as the Queen Matriarch and declare the wrongs of the Zenflame Clan to the world along with the three inheritors. Otherwise, the innocents of the Zenflame Clan would be wiped out along with the wrongdoers…”

Mistress Yeyin came out of her reverie and quickly advised, causing Mistress Zahara to look solemn. His figure that left came into her view in an illusory manner, causing her to cup her hands and bow deeply.

”I wonʼt forget this favor!”

”...”

Mistress Yeyin gazed at her twin sister before also looking at the exit, still wondering why he would go this far to listen to their opinion even if they were bound by the inheritance. After all, if it was returning the favor, then they already got to become King-Tier Immortal Beasts, so she wanted to seek meaning in his actions but couldnʼt tell what he was thinking, her eyes glistening with strange thoughts.
