Divine Emperor of Death

The crowd began to speak in hushed voices or soul transmissions, causing a bit of clamor amidst the inner hall.

In all this, the Starlight Jade Wolf King remained to stare at the Cyan Soul Rat Patriarch, appearing unable to speak.

"Silence."

The Zyrus Family Patriarch enunciated his voice, causing the crowd to turn silent. Even Davis and Deathseeker spoke like mob characters as they discussed this matter, fulfilling their disguises which made the people around them also join them before they all shut up.

"Does the Cyan Soul Rat Patriarch mean the Divergent who went by the title the Emperor of Death?"

"Who else do I mean?"

The Zyrus Family Patriarch asked, causing the Cyan Soul Rat Clan's Patriarch to sneer, "I'm pretty sure everyone here knows that he offended the Fire Phoenix Clan and the Earth Dragon Clan by robbing them of their immortal inheritors way before they even had a chance to teach their immortal inheritors that they deserved better. There's no way they would be appreciative or even concerned about a power that deigned to support him."

The Cyan Soul Rat Patriarch leaned and comfortably spoke, occasionally mockingly looking at the Starlight Jade Wolf King and cackling as though taking in joy in his misery.

"Hmm? Robbed two immortal inheritors? Who is he, and where is he from?"

The Blazing Thunder Sect's Founder spoke in an intrigued voice as she gazed at the Cyan Soul Rat Clan's Patriarch.

"Well, they are from the Grand Beginnings Continent, so the consensus is that he hoodwinked those two immortal inheritors before they even knew about the wider world, seducing them and making them loyal to him by taking advantage of their innocence."

"Grand Beginnings Continent…?"

"Oh- you've just been out from sleep, so I guess you would understand if I said that they're from the Fifty-Two Territories that's at the center of the First Haven World."

The Cyan Soul Rat's Patriarch explained, causing the Blazing Thunder Sect Founder's sexy eyes to flicker before she leaned and murmured something lightly.

Her actions didn't cause any scene as the Cyan Soul Rat Clan's Patriarch continued.

"In any case, if you all don't believe me, everything will be made clear in the banquet that's going to take place in four days. Although that brat is dead, those two immortal inheritors, who are his wives, still refuse to return to their respective clans even though they have been called back for their safety, so the decision that the two clans would take on the day of the banquet would be finalized and publicized. At that time, don't blame us if we have the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan in our alliance."

The Cyan Soul Rat Patriarch raised both his hands, appearing like it wouldn't be his fault if anything were to happen to this alliance.

"Wait a moment. Are we sure that he is truly dead?"

However, the Bloodcloud Family Patriarch couldn't help but ask, "A character like that definitely wouldn't pass away just like that. What was the reason for his death?"

"Well, some say he died from cultivation deviation, while some others say the heavens punished him for his otherworldly strength that shouldn't be in a Divergent's hands, while some others contributed to his existence that is wicked in and on itself. Although the reason is not clear, I'm indeed positive that he is dead."

The Cyan Soul Rat Patriarch chuckled, causing the Zyrus Family Patriarch to give an approving nod.

"Indeed. His life jade broke, and apparently, his body would be taken to be cremated tomorrow. At that time, we will see if it's true or not."

"Why not just divine?" The Lumin Family Patriarch appeared to smile lightly.

"Do you think there's a Mystic Diviner who's stupid enough to lose their life over a dead Divergent?" The Bloodcloud Family's Patriarch shook his head, "If he's alive, we'll naturally come to know one day. If not, he's merely a part of immortal history."

As someone who practiced Blood Laws, he was the most informative about karmic dangers among them.

"Certainly," The Zyrus Family Patriarch nodded, "But I definitely don't want to exclude one of our guests that I personally invited, so we'll have more confidence if someone could go to the banquet four days later and tell us what's going to happen."

"My Golden Crow Clan will go to the banquet." The Golden Crow Clan's Patriarch lazily spoke as he let out a yawn.

One could see that he was pretty bored already, but people only smiled wryly and did not take offense as they knew that the Golden Crow Clan's Patriarch was a battle-loving man.

"I see. Then we'll rely on you, Golden Crow Clan Patriarch."

The Zyrus Family Patriarch also smiled and turned to look at the person who had been silent all this time.

"Starlight Jade Wolf King, what do you say? Are you willing to publicly announce that you're willing to abandon the Emperor of Death as you had once publicly announced that you would support him?"

The Starlight Jade Wolf King turned to stare back at him, "You want me to take back my words?"

"Starlight Jade Wolf King, I didn't mean that way. I meant that there's no benefit for your clan to be still siding with a dead man."

"…"

The Starlight Jade Wolf King remained unresponsive, later lowering his head as though he seemed to be contemplating the Zyrus Family Patriarch's words. Even the people in the crowd saw that it was only advantageous for the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan to abandon the Emperor of Death, seeing that it was a no-brainer move.

"Immortal inheritors, what do you think?"

Suddenly, the Starlight Jade Wolf King turned to look at the two immortal inheritors who came with him.

The both of them sat still and didn't make a sound all this time, even having their eyes closed as though they were focused on cultivation even at this moment.

However, the man opened his mouth first.

"Whatever the Starlight Jade Wolf King has decided, I am willing to follow."

"I don't know who this man known as the Emperor of Death is, but I trust you, Starlight Jade Wolf King."

The female immortal inheritor spoke in a gentle voice, causing the Starlight Jade Wolf King to smile and remain seated on a chair, even throwing a leg over the other.

"Fuck you all. I'm not joining this alliance."
