Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2714 Smart Bird

Davis smiled, but it was a furious one instead of one of amusement.

His anger was almost at the peak, emerging from the fact that he let one of his foes get away, which was never in his book but considering that he could do nothing against Rai Zenflame, whose prowess reached the Immortal Emperor Stage in the first place, he calmed his ego from sparking up and using Fallen Heaven to kill him.

He knew that if he used Fallen Heaven on Rai Zenflame, then he would face consequences worse than just letting him have escaped.

"I... I apologize."

Tanya approached him, her voice sounding off.

"What are you saying?" Davis cast a glance at her, "Killing a cultivator at the Immortal Emperor realm was beyond us in the first place. Having him taste hell was fun. Next time, we'll make him taste shit."

He winked, causing Tanya's eyes to dart around in relief before she finally nodded at him, although she inwardly swore not to make the same mistake again.

Davis took another breath and calmed himself. He could understand Tanya's disappointment over her inability as he felt the same for himself, but what can they do with Immortal Emperors appearing to kill them?

He felt that it was too early, but with the way things were moving, Davis once again felt the need to make himself infallible.

Tanya then opened the gates for Elder Aradiel Furiose. However, she did so after checking the palace of hidden foes with the detection formation. Still, Elder Aradiel Furiose didn't completely leave.

He left his soul body here and rushed out, heading towards the west at an insane speed that their senses lost sight of him in an instant.

Tanya closed the gates again before they felt the palace slightly quiver. She was flying the palace back to the headquarters so that they could safely arrive without facing any trouble.

"Looks like I owe you one."

Davis walked towards Cyclonis Blizzara. The latter was actually healing Yeyin using water energy.

He was astonished as this was the first time Davis saw a magical beast use learned energy, as Ice Phoenixes obviously couldn't use water energy. Their ice was actually flames of the extreme yin.

Nonetheless, he felt like he only owed her a bit because his actual last resort was to threaten the Fire Phoenix Clan's Grand Elders with Zahara's life.

Although he was only going to act, chances are that they would let him go as he would have Zahara's precious life in his hands.

After all, she was considered the fifth inheritor. How would they allow her to die?

Instead, the Ice Phoenix Clan's Matriarch had made a preemptive move to bring Elder Aradiel Furiose over, making it so that she had inevitably saved them.

"Then I'll be selfish enough to use it right now. Tell me who the other inheritor is?"

Cyclonis Blizzara stood up, turning to look at him as her amused voice resounded.

In response, Davis's smile became wry, "Seems you were listening here silently."

"Not exactly. I was listening through Yeyin."

"...!"

Mistress Yeyin flinched. She had her eyes closed, but her ears blushed as they became crimson. She couldn't believe that she was spied on by some method that she still couldn't find.

"..." On the other hand, Davis was stumped before he shook his head, "I give up. You win."

He imagined that Cyclonis Blizzara got Yeyin after Tanya left Yeyin on her island. Otherwise, there was no way Cyclonis Blizzara would be able to spy on them through Yeyin.

"So, who is it?"

Cyclonis Blizzara asked, causing Davis to raise his brows. "What are you going to do once you find them?"

"You know what I'm going to do."

"And you know I'm going to stop you."

"I see. So it's one of your women, as I expected." Cyclonis Blizzara smirked at Davis before her gaze became more curious.

"What are you? Are you truly a Divergent? How are you attracting candidates to yourself? Especially female candidates because I don't see any male candidates around you."

"Matriarch, I don't swing that way."

"..."

Davis spoke seriously, causing Cyclonis Blizzara to narrow her eyes as she became unamused. Looking at her expression, Davis felt as though he had gotten something back, causing him to wave his hand.

"Jokes apart, I would like to know that myself other than the reason that's already visible on the surface."

"Like what?"

Davis folded his arms, appearing righteous, "The inheritances are in the Grand Beginnings Continent, so naturally, as the sole individual who is more powerful than anyone else, I receive the beauties."

"Aha~ What confidence." Cyclonis Blizzara's body shook as she giggled, "It's Shirley, isn't it?"

"..."

There was a moment of silence as Davis remained unmoving before Cyclonis Blizzara giggled again.

"Can I take that silence as a yes?"

"Senior sister, are you crazy? Shirley is the Fire Phoenix Clan's inheritor."

Davis finally opened his mouth, looking at her like she was a strange individual.

"I know."

"Then-" Davis was about to say something when he was suddenly interrupted.

"The Fire Phoenix Clan came for Zahara, which means she is the fifth inheritor, as Rai Zenflame shouted about, and I am already sure that Yeyin is the fourth or fifth inheritor. If my previous statement is true, then Shirley, who has Zahara's blood, must also have Yeyin's blood since Zahara and Yeyin are half-sisters."

"This is further entrenched by the fact that I sensed Shirley reacting to Zahara being traced by the Fire Phoenix Clan before you exchanged soul transmissions with her, although I couldn't tell the content. Still, it is possible for Shirley to have both of their blood, which makes her a dual inheritor and makes them..."

Coming to this point, Cyclonis Blizzara blinked before her eyes went wide, not believing what she was about to say.

"You're delusional- not. Fuck, how are you this smart?"

Davis became somewhat impressed that he no longer tried to hide it- no, it was useless to hide it in front of this woman as he knew she had already found what was there to find.

Usually, people wouldn't even have Shirley as a potential suspect in their minds as she was already an inheritor, but this woman in front of him saw through that easily with just a clue when Rai Zenflame screamed that Zahara was the fifth inheritor. She even reasoned that Zahara and Yeyin were not inheritors, but inheritance masters, as her hypothesis led her to believe so.

However, seeing Davis reveal the secret easily, Cyclonis Blizzara narrowed her brows.

"Are you leading me on?"

"Ha. Are you afraid that I'm misdirecting you? Find that out by yourself."

Davis grinned before he sat down, closed his eyes, and refocused on his injuries, causing Cyclonis Blizzara to frown.

She truly couldn't tell if he was kidding or not, but she lowered her head as she gazed at him, appearing to be extremely confused yet also shocked.

If her hypothesis was correct, how were the inheritance masters still alive!? She was inclined to believe that she was wrong instead, but all clues that she collected so far from various sources led her to believe that Zahara and Yeyin were inheritance masters of their respective clans!
