Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1096 Seal This Place!

Chapter 1096 Seal This Place!

"What!?"

Everyone became dumbfounded at Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim’s admission of wrongdoing!

How could he so easily accept his wrongs? Especially when it was just a matter that he could feign ignorance, even possible of twisting the truth with falsehood.

Surely, to the wise Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim, this should be easy as flipping his palm, no?

However, they momentarily forgot about the presence of a powerful yet silent person in their calculations.

On the other hand, Ancestor Dian Alstreim nodded his head in satisfaction. After being exposed and coming this far into the problem, vehemently rejecting the undeniable evidence would further result in loss of face and pride.

He knew that his little brother’s grandson wasn’t such a character to deny, but that also meant...

"But just because I admitted my mistakes doesn’t mean that I would say yes to be punished as you please!" Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim harrumphed as his eyes flashed, "Other than the Ancestor, no one can make me and Elise submit to the rules!"

Edgar Alstreim’s expression fell.

It was indeed true that he could do nothing about it as his cultivation base was less, making it so that he could only rely upon external factors such as the powers of Elder Havle Alstreim, other Elders, and Grand Elders, and have them meet out the punishment together so that Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim would have no choice but to lower his head.

Surely, the other people who silently held a grudge against Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim’s overbearingness would use this chance to attack him while he was low, no?

He looked around and glanced at Elder Havle Alstreim, who was already seemed to be on the task of convincing the Elders and Grand Elders around him. However, they all possessed hesitative expressions as well as evading eyes.

Edgar Alstreim quickly became disheartened once he saw that.

What is happening? Weren’t most people supporting him all this time?

He turned to look at the Ancestor, and his heart shook as he saw him remain silent.

Why did the situation suddenly go awry!??? He couldn’t understand!

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim smirked in confidence.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim could stop them from stopping Edgar Alstreim interrogating Weiss Alstreim, but he could not pursue them for this! He had sworn on his law-heart that he wouldn’t pursue them for the transgressions they had made in the past!

Every Elder and Grand Elder could see that the Ancestor spoke nothing even after the reveal, and that implied that the Ancestor didn’t want to punish Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim! How could they overstep their boundaries when the Revered Ancestor himself didn’t make a move!?

They didn’t know that they actually misunderstood. It wasn’t that Ancestor Dian Alstreim didn’t want to punish Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim, but it was that he couldn’t!

Indeed, Ancestor Dian Alstreim couldn’t make a move on them.

He had made a law-heart oath so that the other party wouldn’t leak the secrets of the water-attributed Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Source! This matter was even more important than a single Logan or a Claire because it placed the entire Alstreim Family in jeopardy!

If any other Territories came to know about it, it was relatively clear that a powerful foe or foes would invade the Alstreim Family and destroy it to take away the water-attributed Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Source. Perhaps, even he might not be alive in the end!

After all, this was a treasure that was far too out of their league!

Ancestor Dian Alstreim believed that Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim and the others who knew the secret wouldn’t leak it, so at this moment, he only hoped for a peaceful resolution. Besides, as the Ancestor, he felt a bit pained to see his descendants fighting amongst themselves.

Nevertheless, he cast a glance at Davis, intently watching him what he would do in this situation.

Davis gave a look back at Ancestor Dian Alstreim as he smirked, ’Are you testing me?’

He took back his gaze before he shook his head.

"Edgar Alstreim, are you done?"

Edgar Alstreim’s expression fell sharply.

Even Alchemist Davis had no choice but to back down now? He couldn’t help but feel cold, as if everyone suddenly abandoned him.

Claire stared at her son. She wanted to say something, but just before she could...

"Alright, then... I’ll take your silence as a yes and pose a question to Weiss Alstreim, so move aside..." Davis waved his sleeves before he slightly raised his voice.

Edgar Alstreim became a bit dumbfounded.

What else was there?

’That’s right. I have still yet to ask about Nora Alstreim’s involvement in Claire’s disappearance!’

But before he could ask anything, Davis continued.

"Who was the one who gave you the gift that you gave to me just a while ago in the Purple Guest Palace?"

Weiss Alstreim’s lips moved.

"... Elder Zeno Alstreim."

Davis’s eyes brightened before he turned to look at the person who seemed to become ’startled’ upon being mentioned.

"Ah... So it’s you... No wonder..." Davis laughed with amusement as he looked at the expressionless face of Elder Zeno Alstreim.

He turned to look at Ancestor Dian Alstreim before his expression abruptly became utter serious, his eyes gleaming with vigorous intent.

"Seal this No Same Sky Martial Platform with your powers, and do make sure that anyone who isn’t an Elder or a Grand Elders leave this place!"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim’s eyes abruptly narrowed in displeasure, but he blinked as he felt Davis’s serious intentions. His lips widened into a slight curve before a wheel of flames suddenly appeared in front of him as it swirled.

The wheel of flames that spawned multiplied over a dozen times before it became a sphere that spun around and expanded like a balloon. It grew to an enormous size of ten kilometers before it reproduced a globe of flames from the extended curves, completely encasing the Elders and Grand Elders who stood in the air.

However, with a wave of Ancestor Dian Alstreim’s hand, the irrelevant people, such as the younger generational experts and the ordinary people who came to view the life and death battle, were all ousted from the sphere of crimson flame!

What!? Why did the Ancestor listen to his words without missing a beat! They couldn’t help but feel insane!

"Ughh..." Kayan Alstreim tried to resist, but when he saw that he was already out of the spherical loop, his expression became ugly.

Was he not important enough to experience what would happen inside?

But nevertheless, they all instantly became dumbfounded as they found the searing sphere of flames that sealed the airspace become unapproachable! Perhaps if they neared it, they would be reduced to nothing but cinders!

Inside the scorching sphere of flames, everyone felt panicked, but Ancestor Dian Alstreim took back his hand and folded it behind, causing the temperature to drop drastically.

’What control...’ Davis felt like he was going to be roasted in this environment, but now it was just a bit warm.

To be able to control the heat to this level in a scorching purgatory, no wonder he felt that Ancestor Dian Alstreim was skilled enough to have reached Level Two Abstruse Intent in Fire Laws. Living for that long sure had its advantages!

Although Ancestor Dian Alstreim trapped the person he wanted to be trapt, it could be said that he essentially sealed himself as well. If Ancestor Dian Alstreim held hostile intent towards him, his life would be forfeit.

However, one should not forget that he only needed an instant as well.

If it were a few months ago when he was at Low-Level Supreme Soul Stage, he mused that it might’ve taken a large amount of soul essence to kill Ancestor Dian Alstreim, but if it was now, he was confident that he could kill Ancestor Dian Alstreim by sacrificing just a bit of his soul essence.

The worst side-effect that he might face is just fainting for a few seconds.

Edgar Alstreim saw that his family remained while the others were trying to settle down. He no longer gave a crap about the mentally crippled Weiss Alstreim and quickly returned to Elder Havle Alstreim’s location, reuniting with his wife Lia Alstreim and his daughter Tia Alstreim as he hugged them.

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim, Grand Elder Elise Alstreim, and Patriarch Eldric Alstreim stood as one, and they looked as if they were prepared to sacrifice their blood essence to escape if need be at the slightest moment.

Perhaps, at this point, they didn’t feel any reservations about being exiled but just wanted to cross through this confusing situation. However, there was a sliver of hesitation in their eyes.

Obviously, Nora Alstreim was in the Dragon Queen’s hands!

Ancestor Dian Alstreim saw the chaotic emotions within them all trying to settle down or erupt. He closed his eyes and opened a moment later.

"Now then... You better have a good explanation for having me seal this space, ’Alchemist’ Davis..."

"Hehehe..." Davis lightly chuckled before he turned to look at Elder Zeno Alstreim.

"Were you the one who provided Weiss Alstreim with the ’gift’?"

Elder Zeno Alstreim kept a feeble smile on his face, "Alchemist Davis, I don’t want to get into trouble. Could you be more specific as to what gift I provided so that I can avoid being framed?"

"What a good ’avoid being framed’..." Davis snickered.

He was about to say a few more words, but he brought up his hand, a petal appearing on his hand.

"Tha- That’s...!"

"That’s the Undaunted Purple Lotus Petal!!!"

Before he could even say anything, numerous echoes resounded around him. Davis kept his smile. Unlike the younger generation, it seemed that most of the older generation seemed to know about the Undaunted Purple Lotus.

Even Ancestor Dian Alstreim seemed to go wide-eyed at the sight of the petal alone! Moreover, he instantly realized that it was an upper-tier petal, capable of increasing his Soul Forging Cultivation upon consumption!

Even he couldn’t help but feel a hint of greed while looking at that!
