Divine Emperor of Death

Davis nodded his head to Mulia and panned his gaze over to the others like Jackson's group, Sasha, Haus, and Ophelia. He wasn't currently worried about them because he had already made them promise him the first condition. As for the second condition, he didn't put forward to them since they weren't someone important to be recognized in this territory.

He moved his gaze to Hadian and Erik, "What about the other two?"

"I accept." Hadian and Uncle Erik echoed at the same time but Uncle Erik asked with a cough, "What about me? Can I remove my mask when I get intimate?"

'Prostitutes?' Davis became stunned inwardly before he nodded his head, "Of course..."

At that very instant, he felt three sharp gazes fall on him for a moment, giving him a judgemental glance.

'Hey! It's not me who wants to do that! It's that old geezer!' Davis inwardly groaned when he felt his mother, Evelynn, and Princess Isabella cast a gaze on him.

Their gazes just cast a judgmental glance at him before it all fell on Uncle Erik. Even Mulia cast a 'not expected from you' glance at her uncle, her eyes radiating a reproachful glare.

Receiving all the glares from the group, Uncle Erik couldn't help but cough again, "Excuse me, ladies... Even I have my needs..."

Only then did the glares disappear from him.

"Davis, what if I birth a child? Can I and Hadian at least let our child see who we are?" Mulia sent a Soul Transmission.

Davis became taken aback before he suddenly had the thought if Mulia was already pregnant but that doesn't seem like the case since these two had already done the deed years ago.

Even if they've done the deed in Alchemist Scythe's Residence, he felt that Mulia should've already taken a contraceptive pill, just like the one he had Evelynn take regularly when they become intimate.

His astonishment only lasted for a moment before he nodded his head, making Mulia relax, which she then looked at Hadian, informing him of this matter so they don't swear to the heavens mistakenly.

At this time, Uncle Erik who noticed their silent communication wanted to hand himself over to the Tripartite Alliance. 

'Fuck! Why didn't I think of asking this question through Soul Transmission?!' He couldn't help but curse himself.

*Whoosh!~*

Suddenly, a rather long and wide flying boat appeared before them.

It was 25 meters long and 15 meters wide with 15 meters depth from the deck. There were plenty of cabins under the deck in which people could stay and live for the duration of the travel, or they could even make this flying boat as a movable residence.

Its bow had a tiger head sculpted, and its back was adorned with a sharply curved tail.

Davis saw the aesthetic sense of the flying boat and lamented that the curved tail should be at the front so that he can ram into people with it, piercing them into oblivion.

Nevertheless, when he found that the flying boat's speed was a lot faster when he found it in a construct store, he instantly purchased it.

It cost him about 120,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones which he rather found high for the price of the construct but worth it.

Vehicles! Or rather called Constructs always cost higher than the norm because of the scarcity of the one who builds these constructs and the demand of the constructs in the market.

Construct Masters were cultivators who build these constructs such as flying boats, carriages that use spirit stones and other resources as fuel.

Although this construct was just at the Mid-Level Sky Grade, its speed could match High-Level Sky Grade Constructs, moving about 500 meters per second. Though the construct forgoes its offensive methods, its defensive capabilities were top-notch for its grade, able to withstand attacks of Low-Level Sixth Stage Cultivators.

Davis was glad that he bought this, otherwise, he or Princess Isabella would have to carry the people which is tedious, to say the least.

Experts of their caliber working as a transporter? 

Davis and Princess Isabella inwardly scoffed. 

It was fine before as they were being chased, but now, it was like they were on a new journey, starting a new life. Why would they still want to carry people with them all the time while using their own energy? They weren't servants!

"Alright, board in..." Davis said as he panned his gaze over them.

As they boarded the flying boat, Davis lamented that he couldn't use the Peak-Level King Grade Construct, the Earth Dragon's Abode. If he was able to use it, then on top being able to strut off his might, their journey would also be considerably shortened!

However, there was a chance that he would also get noticed by the Eighth Stage Expert who still might be thinking of trying his luck to find them.

If a Soul Sense probe came again, then it would be difficult for them to escape suspicion.

Other than this flying boat, he also had the constructs the Tripartite Alliance Elders used. Even the Grand Elder had two flying boats and other constructs.

But he didn't use it or take it out, worried that they would be recognized and found out by someone and reported unluckily.

Once they all boarded, Davis boarded the flying boat and took off in the direction of the north, and slightly turned the flying boat towards the northwest direction, setting a course straight for the Ethren Empire's Capital.

At least, the course shouldn't differ much as they would eventually come across landmarks that would help them navigate accurately to the Ethren Empire.

======

40,000 kilometers slightly northwest from the mountains they left, Davis's group finally arrived at the Ethren Empire's Capital City in less than a mere day.

It took them about 23 hours to make their way to the Ethren Empire Capital City. Of course, it was not without a cost.

Fuel!

Davis had to burn 4,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones to travel 40,000 kilometers with each distance of 10 kilometers requiring the usage of a single Low-Level Spirit Stone.

In their short journey, they did not encounter much trouble and deviation in general. Because, during their journey, Davis shrouded the entire ship with his Dark Concealing Shroud Art. He was able to conceal them from most problems that they would have encountered.

As expected, the probe from the Eight Stage Expert came again but luckily, his Dark Shroud Concealing Art had been active, so the Eighth Stage Expert failed to find them again.

Davis didn't use the Dark Concealing Shroud Art all the time as it would drain all his energy especially when he used it on a big construct like the flying boat. He only used it when he sensed trouble near, but even then he used up 30% of his soul force which left him quite exhausted.

Hence, it could be said that Davis's group had been incredibly lucky to evade the probe of the Eighth Stage Expert!

Outside the city gate, Davis and the others still had yet to enter because they were lined up in a long queue to enter the city. Just like the Territory Gate, however, lesser than that, it cost them only 1,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones each per person to enter the city.

From the queue outside, Davis saw the surrounding walls elevated to a kilometer in height. The majesty of the walls was plain to be seen, especially when he noticed that the walls were made with Low-Level King Grade Material.

Such an amount to build this wall should've cost an enormous amount of Spirit Stones to procure and use the materials!
