Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1112 So What If Your Power Is Strong!?

Chapter 1112 So What If Your Power Is Strong!?

Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Princess Isabella’s expression fell as they both stayed their hands. The latter hovered with her eyes narrowed, and the former stopped retreating before diminishing his crimson flames with a wave of his hand.

It magically disappeared before he simultaneously advanced until he stood beside Davis.

Davis noticed this move but intentionally distanced himself.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim saw him move away from him but didn’t say anything. At this time, he didn’t want to agitate the Dragon Queen. Furthermore, he didn’t take offense since he just wanted to protect Davis from possible harm.

Although he felt the Dragon Queen was still sane, he didn’t want to underestimate the scope of things.

In the cultivation world, one could survive with absolute brawn, but in front of even more extreme power, only intelligence and schemes could help. This was not a teaching of the Alstreim Family, but he learned it from experience.

If he made it a teaching concept, then the cultivators in his family would take it in one ear and let it out in the other, not comprehending the meaning of it as power was revered than intellect. Only through experience would they be able to comprehend the important aspect of this concept.

At this moment, Ancestor Dian Alstreim clearly felt from his Heart Intent that the Dragon Queen’s feelings become turbulent. He saw her retract her supreme domain as she possessed a complex expression on her face.

’Oh, she doesn’t want to harm Davis either?’

He mused and was about to say a few words when the Dragon Queen suddenly spoke as her expression became cold.

"Why did you betray me?" Her voice was laden with a bit of anger.

"I didn’t betray you..." Davis shook his head.

Princess Isabella’s pupils trembled. Her bosoms heaved before her gaze became heavy, "Then, I demand an explanation!"

"Young Mistress... Since I-"

"You still dare to call me Young Mistress!?" Princess Isabella fumed.

Looking at her unreasonable attitude, everyone wanted to stop her from misunderstanding.

However, Davis continued, "Since I have the blood of the Alstreim Family, Ancestor Dian Alstreim can naturally claim that I belong to them. However, I am subordinated to Young Mistress, so how can I leave without telling?"

Princess Isabella’s expression changed, but she snorted as she narrowed her eyes.

"Even though I treated you so good, you used me..."

"Is that so? Does Young Mistress really think I betrayed?"

"You did!" Princess Isabella gritted her teeth as she clenched her hands, "Didn’t I tell you? Natalya has already told me everything. As long as Dian Alstreim helps you obtain your mother’s revenge, you gave your word that you would join him!"

"And..." Princess Isabella’s expression trembled as she waved her hand and pointed her finger at him, "You said the same words to me!"

"I gave my word to you that I would arbitrate and help you all to get revenge, but you didn’t wait for me to come out of my important seclusion!"

"You instead relied on this Ancestor to make your ends meet! You didn’t place any trust in me and even tried to join their power!" Her arm trembled.

Davis’s heart shook.

"Isabella!!!"

"..."

A momentary silence enveloped the atmosphere, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim, Patriarch Eldric Alstreim, Elder Havle Alstreim and his family were utterly shocked.

Did the subordinate just call out the master’s name?

That was absolutely deserving of a thousand lashings!

As expected, they saw the Dragon Queen’s expression freeze. However, they became stupefied to see her become red.

The Dragon Queen possessed a healthy blush on her face!

"If I don’t change powers now, would I still be able to change after you bring me back to your power!?"

A soft voice broke the silence, but it slowly turned valiant.

"If I still remain as your subordinate, would I have the qualifications to pursue you!?"

"If I keep owing you, would I have any face left to ask your hand in marriage!?"

By the end, Davis erupted as his tri-cultivation base erupted! Law Manifestation Stage, Martial Master Stage, and Mature Soul Stage! All three cultivations simultaneously erupted, making space slightly twist around him from the sheer power of the three types of energy.

He seemed like an extremely powerful existence as he demanded!

"I..." The Dragon Queen’s voice quivered as she intensely blushed, "You! What are you talking about?"

"Isabella, you know my feelings towards you but act like you don’t..."

Davis looked at her in all seriousness, "Do we need to do this?"

The Dragon Queen’s expression trembled.

Everyone was shocked! This... When did this turn into a romantic confrontation!?

Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Patriarch Eldric Alstreim were absolutely flabbergasted. Although it seemed like Davis and the Dragon Queen possessed a master-subordinate relationship, it seemed that things weren’t simple as they seemed!

This fact was further supported by how the Dragon Queen seemed to not deny Davis’s move! Instead, it almost seemed as if she had transformed into a maiden who blushed from being stared at by a romantic partner!

"Isabella..." Davis seemed to urge.

Dragon Queen Isabella’s expression melted. However, her expression fell as she shook her head.

"My power won’t-"

"Screw our powers!" Davis echoed with intensity as he interrupted, "Our futures will be decided by ourselves, by our own hands!"

"Didn’t you say that to me when you recruited me!?"

The Dragon Queen’s pupils trembled before her mouth went slightly agape. It was as if she realized something, her expression twisting many times, sometimes decisive, sometimes hesitant, but eventually, she shook her head with a sorrowful expression.

"But, I’m afraid that this matter would invite a calamity. Considering the Alstreim Family’s prowess, their formations would only last for a few seconds before their entire territory would be flattened into a paste..."

"Davis, I know you care about your family, but remaining in the Alstreim Family is something I wouldn’t..." The Dragon Queen’s gaze fell on Ancestor Dian Alstreim before she uttered, "... recommend."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim’s lips twitched as he spat out a single word, "Preposterous!"

"The Dragon Queen thinks my Alstreim Family is easy to bully?"

"It is... Otherwise, would you be cordially speaking with me right now when I acted willfully, not daring to attack?" Princess Isabella’s expression became cold as she exuded the aura of an expert.

It seemed whatever warmth she had just shown disappeared.

Even without using his Heart Intent, he could tell that the Dragon Queen looked down on the Alstreim Family. However, he was unable to retort because the Dragon Queen had hit him where it hurts the most.

They might have the capability to defend themselves with city-wide formations and alliances combined from nine major powers to use against external experts. However, they lacked the capability to attack.

If the Nine Eastern Territories knew that tens of powerhouses would attack, they would rather not pay heed to the protective treaty but instead, try to attack the Alstreim Family to curry favor with that mysterious large power.

The cultivation world was always whimsical, capable of changing sides in an instant. He understood this fact but was unable to stand the insult.

He was a peak expert, one of the grand existences of the Fifty-Two Territories, yet this little dragon-blood girl left him with no face. Feeling his blood boil from shame, he echoed.

"Hmph! So what if your power is strong!? Since I have decided to take in Davis Alstreim as the hope of the Alstreim Family, I would dare to gamble everything on him! Even if the heavens collapse, the calamity light strikes, I will still exchange my life and sacrifice the others to protect him and his family!"

"As the absolute genius who would lead my Alstreim Family to the peak, he will receive the protection of our ancestors, and I will personally shield him from all internal and external threats! If I go against these words, let the heavens bear witness and smite me to death!"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim waved his hand, and the clouds above seemed to tremble as if witnessing his oath.

Everyone instantly became wide-mouthed, only able to comprehend what had happened after a few seconds had passed. Patriarch Eldric Alstreim’s expression was complex as he realized that with this oath, nothing could be done to stop Davis’s rise.

With this oath, Davis’s Protector would none other be the Ancestor himself! Such privilege almost had his eyes green turn with envy, but when he thought about the other party’s talent and the Alstreim Family’s current situation, he let it go.

When a person couldn’t reach on top of a flat-walled vertical mountain even with the help of a lengthy ladder, they should simply give up rather than forcefully climbing. Otherwise, if that person fell, not even the soul would remain as it would fly away from sheer terror.

He understood that unlike him, who possessed only a ten percent chance in stepping into the Ninth Stage, Davis’s chances were enormous, so he was able to keep himself calm. There was no use comparing himself to this extraordinary genius.

However, he didn’t understand why the Dragon Queen would look at Davis favorably when he was just at the Mature Soul Stage. The Dragon Queen was nearing the Ninth Stage, and they were master and subordinate, so he felt a little dubious since a Young Mistress of a powerful background should be looking down on him.

Or was it precisely because they were master and subordinate did the Dragon Queen got to know more about him, his potential, and felt that he would be suitable to be her man?

However, Ancestor Dian Alstreim didn’t think that way, and he didn’t feel an ounce of suspicion. He knew that Davis’s true Soul Forging Cultivation was at the Supreme Soul Stage! If he knew, then the Dragon Queen who seemed to be always protected by Davis’s soul body should also know!

In his mind, if he paired them up, he really couldn’t find any fault other than the difference in their ages because he felt that if Davis had a few more decades of cultivation time the same as the Dragon Queen, then Davis could possibly be even more powerful than her!

After all, a Soul King would be able to easily ignore a Martial Sage Stage Cultivator’s bodily defenses when they attack the soul, even having greater chances to suppress and kill!
