Divine Emperor of Death

Only a hundred and sixty-nine opponents were left in the battle arena where the Seventh Stage Segment was taking place as the stronger groups further eliminated the small groups. At the same time, the millions of people were busy talking about the previous incident, wondering what kind of relationship this Myria possessed with the Hex Demoness or perhaps the man behind her.

One common thing was that they were all-powerful in their own right, which made them form more speculations that used their imagination, some even preposterous.

But inside the spatial formation, it was all irrelevant as they heard and saw nothing about what happened outside.

Clara, Fiora, Mo Mingzhi, Sophie, Niera, Logan, Claire, Nora, Tanya Frostblight, Drake Blackburn, Kara Moonridge, Esvele, and two Burning Phoenix Ridge Ridge disciples were all together for a total of fifteen. The largest groups were all above 30 people, and that made it so that they were the second-most smallest group while the smallest group was the Mystic Ice Sect Maidens, numbering at a group of six people.

However, they both had a lot of distance to cover before they could meet each other.

But, Clara and the others were not afraid of this small number because they thought it was more than enough for them to dominate a group of 32 youths. After all, most of them possessed Perfect Domains! Only Fiora and Mo Mingzhi didn't possess a domain as they were still in the Law Manifestation Stage, while the three other Burning Phoenix Ridge disciples' domain levels were unknown.

However, it was of little doubt that they possessed Supreme Domains at the very least as they were here in this competition!

"Husband, why don't you take the lead?"

Claire sent a soul transmission to Logan, "I feel that you must take the lead when our son isn't present."

"Haha." Logan couldn't help but smile at her, "Look at our daughter, Claire. She's no longer a child but a ruler. Not anyone would come to the forefront and take the lead, but she is subconsciously stating her position as the possessor of the Transcendent Truth Eyes.

"I have heard about you from brother, Drake Blackburn. I thank you for bringing sister-in-law Mingzhi safely to us."

Clara spoke as she turned to look at Drake Blackburn at this moment. Although Mo Mingzhi said that they weren't a threat when they regrouped, their group still hadn't warmed up to them, which irked Clara's leadership instincts that vaguely said to her that it might cause problems in cooperation.

"No need to thank me. Your brother has… helped us very much. It's only rightful that I repay the gratitude to him."

"I see."

Clara turned away, but Drake Blackburn was inwardly sweating buckets.

How come that bastard's little sister was so beautiful!? He hadn't paid attention before because the bevy of beauties Davis possessed came as a surprise even though he already knew about them, and he felt awkward in front of his parents that he didn't dare to speak anything and didn't try to match gazes with them.

However, once he saw Clara's clear purple eyes, his heart skipped a beat that he paused for a moment and felt embarrassed because of it. What beauty hadn't he seen in the Dual Lotus Manor? They all made his heart skip a beat in different ways with their charm, but most of them were already taken. But better than them, Davis's little sister was emanating a kind of majestic aura in addition to a pure innocence which he hadn't seen the Dual Lotus Manor that totally attracted him.

"A fair word of warning."

Suddenly, a soul transmission fell on his ears, causing him to look at Mo Mingzhi, who was walking alongside him in the back.

"Even if you're his friend, if you try to hit on her without his permission, there's a ninety-five percent chance that you'll end up as a corpse."

"What the…"

"Hehe~ I don't know about that..."

Mo Mingzhi turned to look at Clara's straight back that looked quite… burdened yet not that she couldn't understand.

However, one thing she understood was that this girl dared to sacrifice her innocence to save her elder brother, which many little sisters wouldn't do, not that it was an exemplary thing, to be honest, but still, her actions spoke volumes of how much she cared about her elder brother that melted her heart, making her no longer see Clara as a cold woman because of her demeanor but someone who would cross the nine heavens to save you if you were close enough with her.

It didn't take her long to understand that Clara exhibited the many traits of Davis, perhaps, because he was a major influence in her life.

"… but it is certain that he cares about his little sisters very much that I can at least say that he wouldn't marry her to you because you already have many wives."

"I see…" Drake Blackburn nodded as he released a sigh.

"I suggest you abandon whatever thoughts came up to your mind, or you risk fracturing a relationship with your precious friend."

"You're smart." Drake Blackburn smiled at her, "How did you know that I would try my chances?"

"The look of infatuation is nothing but familiar to me. Besides, I was an investigator who did detective work on the sidelines. Your facial expressions and voice feed my thoughts and derive my assumptions about what you're thinking and going on about."

Mo Mingzhi appeared proud as she spoke about her herself.

"Damn, you're so talented." Drake Blackburn shot her a scrutinizing look, "However, judging by your story, you're an investigator, and you didn't arrest the guy who killed your father but fell in love with him instead?"

"…"

Mo Mingzhi's expression turned into a blush as she shot a death stare at him, causing Drake Blackburn to retreat while inwardly laughing to himself, successfully gaining one over her.

Suddenly, Fiora pulled Mo Mingzhi away to one side before bringing her to Sophie and Niera's side.

"Mingzhi, are you being unfaithful?"

"Yeah. Why are you blushing while talking with him using soul transmission?"

Both Fiora and Sophie narrowed their eyes and spoke in hushed voices while Niera had her eyes narrowed as well, all three of them looking at Mingzhi with scrutiny.

Mo Mingzhi rolled her eyes, "Of course not! He was just teasing about my past with Davis."

"Oh…"

They knew that he was also from a similar origin as Davis and Mo Mingzhi. By this time, almost all of them except Zestria and Lea Weiss, the two new women, knew where he came from, as Mo Mingzhi explained to them while they got together in the Purple Guest Palace many times.

"We're sorry for doubting you..." Niera spoke while looking embarrassed.

"It's fine."

Mo Mingzhi didn't bother as she was aware that these girls were too traditional. However, it was totally understandable to her that they thought she was cheating because she was blushing while communicating with soul transmission, making them unaware of what she spoke about, which led to their suspicion.

She would've thought the same thing, but she was thankful that they decided to confront her by pulling her away from the others instead of telling Davis that she was like this and like that and made him suspicious towards her, as most sneaky and manipulative women would do.

Nevertheless, this made her learn that she shouldn't be speaking using soul transmission with other men, even if it was through the kindness of her heart to warn, as it would invite unnecessary suspicion.

'But still, these girls are more eager than him to throw out or even kill whoever is found unfaithful, huh...'

Mo Mingzhi realized that she was in a harem that solely focused on one single man, alright, not that she complained as she was also eager to weed out any natural-born actresses who might've somehow got past his defenses just for leeching off resources of him.

On the other hand, Kara Moonridge also berated Drake Blackburn for interacting too closely with another man's woman. But Drake told her that they had just casually interacted like the way where they were from but was still warned not to be naive as this was a cutthroat world where one could be killed for the slightest mistake.

Both Mingzhi and Drake didn't think much of it, but the others, not so much until they had their doubts cleared.

Suddenly, Clara stopped, causing everyone to pause in their tracks.

Logan looked into the distance and found out that two groups were battling against each other, and both groups seemed to have around thirty-two people each!

"Shall we wait and see?"

Logan asked Clara, wanting to know what she would decide.

"No, they likely sensed us the same time we sensed as this spatial formation allows people to sense aura once they're in a certain range. Let's attack both the groups and diminish their numbers before they could team up against us as they might form a truce."

"…"

The others who didn't know about Clara became dumbfounded, while the others who knew about her ability to take the lead smiled with pride.
