Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 799 Paying Respects to the Queen

Elder Enye spoke, "We, as the senior generation, will not take part in this battle, and since we heard that the Conferred Queen possesses subordinates belonging to the younger generation like Alchemist Davis, we will have the younger generation fight for the twenty percent of the heavenly resource. The participating younger generation should be younger than two hundred years."

"Depending on the number of battles fought, we will claim a certain percentage of the heavenly resource until we reach twenty percent."

"For example, if there are five battles, then each battle’s winner belonging to the younger generation will claim four percent of the heavenly resource. The battle will be fought by the younger generation from each stage, ranging from the Fourth Stage to the Seventh Stage."

After finishing her explanation, Elder Enye waited for Alchemist Davis’s response.

Davis remained silent, and his first thought that welled up in his mind was that he was on point. The younger generation aboard on the two arks belonging to the Towering Cloud Hall and the Falling Snow Sect made it so obvious that if he didn’t notice it in the beginning, it would’ve been personal damage to his own law-heart.

He took profound pride in being able to read the flow of events with little evidence, after all.

Nevertheless, thinking about the battle of the younger generation, he sneered inside.

It was obvious that the younger generation battles probably also included Princess Isabella since they and the public knew that the Conferred Queen is less than two hundred years old.

They already gave up on a single battle and concentrated on winning the other remaining battles, but it was fated that they would lose one more battle if he too participated. So if he was going to agree to this, he felt that having five battles would increase the chances of them obtaining nothing from him.

He felt that the mention of an odd number of battles is so that the Towering Cloud Hall and the Falling Snow Sect don’t fight with each other after winning the nectar. After all, once they lose to Princess Isabella on the premise that she participated, they would get eight percent of the nectar each, reaching up to sixteen percent. Out of the twenty percent they claimed, they would lose four percent because of Princess Isabella.

’Not a bad proposal...’ Davis mused.

However, they were bound to lose another battle with him in the scene, and that would give them additional problems to deal with.

But to think that they proposed battles that ranged from the Fourth Stage to the Seventh Stage. He became suspicious because Lucas, Lucia, Mulia, Hadian, Ophelia, and a few others are within the range of that requirement. They stated that the younger generation could be lesser than two hundred years old, so he became a little wary.

’How could they have obtained in information on the group, or was this just a probe?’ Then his mind suddenly clicked and remembered that when they first came to the Ethren City and purchased a residence, Offical Hall and Clara Yale saw them all together.

Could the information have leaked from them? Although they wouldn’t be able to find their identity, their cultivation bases might be leaked.

In any case, he wasn’t intent on agreeing to the battle, so he wanted to send them off, but how would they be willing to leave with just words?

If words actually worked, there would be no violence or the need to cultivate. He felt that intimidation and beatings would do a better job than sitting and talking.

Somewhere in his heart, Davis always felt that communication is something the weak would have to rely on to make ends meet, but in the same heart, he felt that if he were to start killing, there would undoubtedly be a massacre.

Knowing the end result even before taking action, he felt conflicted about taking the initiative to attack. One day, he knew that he would be forced, but now since the other party has engaged in negotiations, he felt that this was not the time to slaughter.

Davis cleared his throat and spoke, "I don’t have the authority to accept this proposition. Neither am I not sure of what this Million Emerald Vines Calamity’s nectar is, so I’ll go request audience with senior on behalf of you two elders."

"However, if senior was in a critical point in his seclusion, do you two elders dare accept the consequences that emerge from unforeseen circumstances?" Davis asked with a ’sincere’ expression on his face.

Hearing Alchemist Davis’s words, Elder Towerfall’s expression changed while Elder Enye produced a frown. They looked at each other and spoke through soul transmission, and Davis could perceive that as well, but as for the content they spoke, he had no idea.

He still possessed the memories of Spirit Arts and Spirit Formations bestowed by Old Man Garvin in his mind, and from those Spirit Arts, there didn’t seem to be an art where he could peek on other’s soul transmission, or he would’ve already learned it or at least made an effort to learn it.

In fact, he was considering that he should use a chance to get such a Spirit Art from Fallen Heaven, but it was just that he wasn’t sure that it would have it. Furthermore, using a chance for this seemed like a waste since he felt that he might find a similar Spirit Art in the near future.

As for the Spirit Arts and Spirit Formations that relate to Soul Forging Cultivation, he decided to learn it with the help of the Solitary Soul Avatar after the Solitary Soul Avatar comprehended the relevant mysteries while resonating with the heaven and earth energy that is required to reach the High-Level Supreme Soul Stage!

After a few seconds passed, Elder Towerfall and Elder Enye both looked away from each other and glanced at Davis.

"We are aware that it is extremely rude to awake someone from seclusion, especially when it is an esteemed Soul Expert such as senior, but we are even prepared to compensate and apologize if needed so..." Elder Towerfall solemnly spoke before he bowed.

Elder Enye also said something similar, causing Davis to finally nod his head in satisfaction.

This is how people should behave when appearing as a guest, otherwise...

’Heh...’ Davis inwardly chuckled

Nevertheless, he still had no intention to agree to this battle and thought of making his Solitary Soul Avatar appear and play them till they retreat, but his expression suddenly changed.

Seeing Alchemist Davis hesitate for a few seconds, Elder Enye urged and consoled, "Don’t worry. The consequences will be shouldered by ourselves, so you don’t need to worry about being punished."

"..." Davis came out of his reverie before smiling wryly.

It was just that; he didn’t expect this to happen.

The Low-Level Emperor Grade Formation below him opened like a maw before a figure shot out of it like a shooting star. The barrier over the estate then closed, but everyone’s eyes, especially the two elders’ eyes, stuck to that one glorious figure as their eyes flashed with both respect and cautiousness.

Elder Towerfall and Elder Enye slightly bowed and clasped their hands.

"Towering Cloud Hall representative, Elder Towerfall greets Conferred Queen Isabella."

"Falling Snow Sect representative, Elder Enye Ballard greets Conferred Queen Isabella."

Even Elder Havle Alstreim followed suit and bowed in giving respect while announcing his name and origin.
