Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1128 Dark Organizations

Chapter 1128 Dark Organizations

"Huh, Flame... Serpent Slayer? Is that his title? Is it supposed to be grand?" Numerous questions popped up in Davis’s head as he blurted out, unaware it struck the heartstrings of numerous experts, making them feel a chill up their spine just by hearing the name.

Davis knew of the Coiling Venomous Snake Den. It was a Low-Level Emperor Grade Power, a dark, assassination organization that accepted missions to assassinate cultivators and also enjoyed doing other evil deeds like the dark organization they are... However, he didn’t know anything about their ranked members.

"You!" Grand Elder Frazayn Alstreim’s expression fell, "How did you manage to evade his assassination attempt!?"

Davis’s expression became cold, "You look as if you’re disappointed not to see me as a corpse?"

"No!- I-" Grand Elder Frazayn Alstreim’s expression fell as he shook his head, "What are you saying!? I just can’t believe how you managed to evade this vile person’s assassination attempt."

"Do you know why this Flame Serpent Slayer is so notorious in our Alstreim Family Territory!? It’s because his skill in hiding his killing intent practically eclipses the sky that you would only feel it only before you’re at the precipice of death!"

"None of our Elders or Grand Elders have been able to capture him even before when he became famous a hundred years ago after entering the Law Sea Stage!"

"Oh..." Davis relaxed his expression.

’But, what the hell is he saying? This assassin’s killing intent was practically leaking like pouring water from a tap!’

He felt doubtful of this crappy assassin’s skills.

’Could it be that this Flame Slayer Serpent has something personal against me that he was unable to hold back his killing intent...’

’Or I’m sensitive to... death?’ Davis’s eyes widened as he thought of this possibility.

In truth, the Flame Slayer Serpent was practically given the fright of his life since his concealment was found out even before he moved into the kill. That’s why he retreated without hesitation and concentrated all his power on escaping, but he didn’t expect another Davis to pop up right in front of his face that exploded, releasing tumultuous waves of soul force that eventually made him retarded.

Even if he recovered, it was likely that he would have post-traumatic stress.

"Grand Elder Frazayn Alstreim, Dragon Queen Isabella’s mount is right here... Besides, you lack etiquette. It is rude to ask of a person’s secret killing blow or their trump card." Grand Elder Krax Alstreim admonished.

Grand Elder Frazayn Alstreim finally recalled that this terrifying King-Tier Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf possessed a terrifying concealment ability. Now that he thought about it, it made sense that the attack of this assassin failed.

When Davis left, even they didn’t see this magical beast move along with him. That means that she was already concealed from the moment he left, probably acting as his protector. This made more sense, and he felt that he was able to accept it.

"This! Isn’t that skull coiling dragon emblem, the Coiling Dragon Den!? Even they are involved!?"

Grand Elder Krax Alstreim suddenly exclaimed as he looked at the dead person. Since he was dead, it didn’t garner much of their attention, but once they finished looking at the Flame Serpent Slayer, their eyes gradually moved towards the floating corpse.

Grand Elder Frazayn Alstreim also became shocked. Now that they found that the dead person was from the Coiling Dragon Den, their expressions became abnormally solemn.

A dark organization that had influence throughout the Nine Western Territories. It was not a hegemon of a Territory but was equal in power to their Nine Western Territories’ hegemons as it was helmed by two Ninth Stage Powerhouse at the same level as their Ancestor. However, their hideout was unknown and could be anywhere in the Nine Western Territories.

’This is bad...’ Grand Elder Krax Alstreim thought before he shot a look at the youngster who looked as if he was not responsible for this mess, "Davis, did you offend the people from the Coiling Dragon Den by any chance?"

Davis shrugged, "I have never met a single cultivator from the Coiling Dragon Den..."

Grand Elder Krax Alstreim sighed, "Then it must be that someone had hired them to eliminate you..."

"I thought so too, and the only one I could think of is the Yantra Family..." Davis stated his thoughts without thinking much before he shot a look at Grand Elder Frazayn Alstreim.

"You aren’t a spy, right?"

"You! Stop falsely accusing me! I have already been checked!" Grand Elder Frazayn Alstreim became hysterical as he shouted, but he instantly knew that he lost his bearings and went quiet before he turned to look at Grand Elder Krax Alstreim.

"Grand Elder Krax, is it true that the Yantra Family had truly compromised our internal security and affairs?"

He was aware of the events that happened but did not know the complete specifics. From then on, he only knew that Alchemist Davis had somehow become a person who possessed the Alstreim Family’s bloodline. Not only him, everyone was confused by this matter, not understanding head or tail about what exactly happened.

Grand Elder Krax Alstreim gravely nodded his head before he gestured, respectfully pointing at Davis, "The one who was responsible for finding that out is none other than him."

"Ah..." Grand Elder Frazayn Alstreim became taken aback before he slightly bowed, "I thank you on behalf of all other Grand Elders and Elders. No wonder Ancestor told us all to protect you at all times even if we have to throw our lives away... I apologize again for not being able to protect you at that moment."

Davis blinked. Ancestor Dian Alstreim said such a thing? He did indeed promise him, but to think that he relayed such a command...

Grand Elder Krax Alstreim continued, "I can see why the Yantra Family would try to kill Davis... but..."

He cast a look at the female magical beast, his expression becoming confused, "Are they really willing to offend the Dragon Queen for petty revenge?"

"I’m also confused for the same reason..." Davis frowned, "They already risked framing the Dragon Queen once before trying to kill me with poison. If they’re trying to offend her thrice, they really must have a death wish other than having to offer up their coffers as the risk is too big."

Grand Elder Krax Alstreim sighed upon hearing his valid reasoning, "Even if the Yantra Family truly sent the assassins of the Coiling Dragon Den against us, we have no way to prove since all of the Coiling Dragon Den’s top experts are bound by oaths and blood soul contracts to not reveal the names of their patrons."

"Only by interacting with their two Ancestors could we possibly know who hired them..."

"What are their names?" Davis asked, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

Grand Elder Krax Alstreim and Grand Elder Frazayn Alstreim became momentarily taken aback.

Why did they just feel a bone-chilling wave of fear right now?

"We don’t know, but their titles are known as Obsidian Killer Dragon and Alabaster Killer Dragon. It is rumored they are husband and wife, but not much is known about them because only five thousand years have passed since they have become Ninth Stage Powerhouses."

"Mhm?" Davis felt confused, "I recognize that this dark organization is has a long history than the Als-"

"That’s right." Grand Elder Frazayn interrupted, "Four thousand years ago, their first Ancestor tried to improve their power by accepting a challenge to kill a mid-sized Territory hegemon’s young master. He did indeed succeed, but he also ended up dead by being massacred by seven Ninth Stage Powerhouses. As a result, they were forced to go into hiding for two thousand years before they popped up again."

"I see... It was knowledgeable."

Grand Elder Frazayn Alstreim smirked in satisfaction before he turned to look at the corpse. He couldn’t help but ask, "Do you know the cultivation base of this dead bastard?"

Grand Elder Krax Alstreim was about to admonish him again but held back as he was interested as well.

"I think..." Davis musingly acted, "High-Level Law Sea Stage..."

Grand Elder Frazayn’s lips twitched, "Did she kill him too?"

"Yes, Nadia killed him with her deadly soul-shattering species technique..." Davis lied without missing a beat.

Grand Elder Krax Alstreim and Grand Elder Frazayn’s hearts shook. Indeed, they have heard the Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf possesses a soul-based species technique, but it was this deadly? Right now, they truly felt as if they witnessed the Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf King’s prowess.

To think that she was just playing with their strongest Elder at the Grand Welcoming Hall... truly terrifying!

"This matter is dire." Grand Elder Frazayn Alstreim solemnly spoke, "We should report this matter to the Ancestor in person right now."

Davis abruptly gave a thumbs up with a wide smile on his face.

"I recommend you do it, and perhaps, regardless of who you are, you’ll be a corpse the next day."

Grand Elder Krax Alstreim’s expression froze while Grand Elder Frazayn Alstreim’s expression became confused.

"What do you mean?" The latter asked.

The Grand Elders who rushed in at that time did sense Ninth Stage, Low-Level Law Rune Stage undulations, but it was too chaotic, filled with other two energies for them to pinpoint who it was with their senses. However, Grand Elder Krax Alstreim, who was the last person to leave, exactly knew who it was!

"Nevermind, I think we’ll report the next day..." Grand Elder Krax Alstreim shook his head.

’Eh... Even Grand Elder Krax Alstreim knows something...’ Grand Elder Frazayn Alstreim felt the urge to know. However, somehow, he felt that asking would result in his head falling off, so he remained mum.

’Perhaps, this matter could be direr than Davis being targeted or, was it the same, and Ancestor already knew about it?’ He imagined as he felt the presence of a Ninth-Stage intruder-like existence in the Ancestral Hall.

He then suddenly realized that Grand Elder Krax Alstreim was leaving with the two assassins in tow.

"Wait? Shouldn’t we prote-" He suddenly stopped saying anything as the female magical beast cast a cold look at him.

He silently gulped and wordlessly left with the wise Grand Elder Krax Alstreim.

Davis had two spatial rings on his palm. He kept them in his spatial ring, took a step forward in mid-air, and continued flying towards the Purple Guest Palace. Nadia followed behind him, watching his unwavering back with a bright gleam in her eyes.

She got the feeling that even if she were to attack him from his back, she would instantly be exterminated!

However, it made her all the more proud. Her King-Tier Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf bloodline actually felt exhilarated serving under him!
