Chapter 1750: Can’t Believe

Davis considered the Mandate Emperor’s offer with all seriousness.

He knew that Clara wouldn’t be receiving this kind of advantage and privilege if she weren’t under his wings, the protection of the Emperor of Death. But, just because he wanted Clara to be safe, he couldn’t squash her future, could he?

However, letting her go outside his wings for once would undoubtedly make her shine in more than one way, attracting flies, toads, and snakes that he couldn’t help but want to purchase repellents if they existed.

“I presume that there’s a Young Temple Master here?”

Davis raised his brows at the Mandate Emperor, who nodded.

“Yes. No harm will come from him. Moreover, I swear to assign Honorable Elder Tessa Evans as her protector and have him take an oath to respect and protect her at all costs, even if he has to go against my words.”

‘Uh… more favor…’

Davis was inwardly flabbergasted at this point as he thought before he asked.

“Who is she?”

“That’s Honorable Elder Mihangel Evans’s wife. She’s as credible and upright as her husband.”

Davis nodded before his expression became solemn.

“I don’t get why you’re so excited and-“

“The heavens favor your little sister.” The Mandate Emperor appeared solemn, “Treating her well would naturally mean well for me without a doubt, making me earn satisfying karma virtue that would unquestionably help me in my cultivation path. If I manage to become her teacher, perhaps I will earn more karmic virtue, but that depends on whether you, as her big brother and guardian, will let me have the opportunity to take her as my student.”

‘Oh, so that’s what it was…’

As long as it concerned benefits, Davis felt like he could place a bit of faith, although he felt that he had to first investigate the records containing the knowledge on Transcendent Truth Eyes.

“Why not take her as a disciple and become a master?” He asked instead.

“I dare not be a master to the possessor of the Transcendent Truth Eyes.” The Mandate Emperor wryly smiled as he shook his head, “Perhaps if I had found her when she was a child, I could be her master on the account I raised her. However, the fact that you’re here, demanding us for techniques and manuals without giving us some time means that she has probably already grown into a young lady. And, if she’s your little sister, she might be as terrifying as you, which makes it all the more worthwhile for me to recruit her to my Heaven Mandate Temple.”

“Emperor of Death, can I see your little sister?”

“Of course. If I lied, you would probably kick me out.”

Davis couldn’t help but laugh while the Mandate Emperor wryly smiled.

He didn’t dare kick out the Emperor of Death. On the other hand, although he had the confidence to kill the Emperor of Death right here with the powerful formations present, combined with his Legacy Treasure, he definitely did not want to be a recipient of that mysterious technique that killed many powerhouses simultaneously without managing to give off a slight hint of its presence.

“After you see my little sister and confirm that I’m not lying, I want to see the records on the Transcendent Truth Eyes and know if what you said was the truth. You will allow me to take a look at your library and archives, right?”

Davis raised his brows, to which the Mandate Emperor appeared hesitant. He contemplated for a while before nodding his head.

“Alright. We have a deal.”

Davis nodded and sat along with Nadia as he took the teacup and sipped, feeling his Law Sea Stage Cultivation rise more.

“Good tea! Now, I still have to clear some matters with the Karmic Guardian Emperor, so if you’ll excuse me, Mandate Emperor.”

Davis cordially smiled before he turned to look at the Karmic Guardian Emperor, who also then sat, looking at Davis with a complex expression on his face.

“I can understand your needs of requiring the Heaven Mandate Temple’s manuals and techniques, but why do you need my power’s heritage? Certainly, you’re not going to say that you have another little sister with the same physique as mine, right?”

The Karmic Guardian dryly chuckled when he suddenly heard a spontaneously reply.

“Close, it’s my little aunt.”

“…”

The Karmic Guardian Emperor’s smile faded, his eyes blinking.

He had only wanted to make the atmosphere calm and friendly again as he could see that the Emperor of Death only wanted their heritage for reasonable needs, which could be negotiated and dealt with like now. Thinking like this, he made a joke and wanted to teach the Emperor of Death of his unreasonable demands of him through his own words, but never did he think his joke would turn near to reality.

On the other hand, the Mandate Emperor also appeared shocked.

‘This… this couldn’t be real, right?’

They both thought at the same time, but looking at the Emperor of Death’s serene expression, they could only think otherwise!

“Tia Alstreim. That’s my little aunt’s name.”

Davis spoke at this moment as they seemed to become silent in confusion.

“She already went through five Whispers of Fate phenomenon and encountered-“

“What!? You allowed her to encounter heavenly tribulation and die!?”

The Karmic Guardian Emperor who sat stood up straight like a rebounding spear and pointed at Davis.

“You believe me?”

Davis looked surprised at the Karmic Guardian Emperor, causing him to be taken aback before his expression turned red.

“That doesn’t matter!” He waved his hand in a rush, “If what you’re saying is true, then it is too late. She must’ve died from a Destructive Heavenly Tribulation falling on her unless she has earned enough karmic virtue for herself.”

“You don’t need to worry about that.” Davis shook his head with a faint smile, “She survived her heavenly tribulation.”

“What!?”

The Karmic Guardian Emperor appeared shocked as his lips moved, “Without having the help of a formation or karmic virtue?”

‘Seems like formations can truly be used against heavenly tribulations as the Soul Palace’s records said…’

Davis thought before he perfunctorily nodded.

“Right. Now I have a valid reason to ask for your two powers’ manuals and techniques, right? It’s fine if you don’t want to give it, unlike the Mandate Emperor whom I made a deal with. I’ll merely have to do my best in order to ‘convince’ you.”

The Karmic Guardian Emperor was still in disbelief as he looked at Davis, while the Mandate Emperor also had a confused expression on his face. If Tia Alstreim was the Emperor of Death’s little aunt, she would not be more than thirty years old if they calculated Claire Alstreim’s history into account. They were also told that she did not have karmic virtue, so how could she have crossed the heavenly tribulation?

Did she also have overbearing prowess like his wives, capable of battling three or four levels above?

But a Karmic Guardian Physique isn’t something suited for battle! It was for support! Together with the Mandate Emperor, the Karmic Guardian Emperor solved many problems and tackled extreme situations with their collective strength. So how could it be possible that this Tia Alstreim was able to overcome her heavenly tribulation with no formations and no karmic virtue?

“Emperor of Death, we don’t doubt your valuable words, but we find this hard to believe.”

The Mandate Emperor appeared solemn before Davis just chuckled.

“That’s quite normal. I would find it more suspicious if you two readily believed me instead. However, if what I’m saying is true, is the Karmic Guardian Emperor willing to enact a similar deal as the Mandate Emperor made with me?”

“A woman with a Karmic Guardian Physique rarely survives her trials and tribulations as most of the time; they end up dead before even being noticed. As the Karmic Guardian Emperor, if I let her suffer in mediocrity, even I will feel ashamed.”

“That’s fine, but that’s not what I wanted to hear.”

Hearing Davis’s intolerable tone, the Karmic Guardian Emperor clenched his teeth and waved his hand.

“If your little aunt is truly a possessor of the Karmic Guardian Physique, then I’ll tell you that I’m willing to grant her the status of a top disciple of my sect and distribute her countless resources that she wouldn’t be able to obtain elsewhere!”

“Good! So let’s be on our way then.” Davis stood up and grabbed Nadia’s soft hand as he gently pulled her up before shooting a confident glance at them, “Although I’m poor, I can still afford one or two chairs for my guests to sit.”

He turned around and walked away while the Mandate Emperor and Karmic Guardian Emperor’s brows twitched.

After plundering the Dragon Families, the Emperor of Death’s wealth could surely be near a mid-sized Territory Hegemon. They couldn’t help but feel that he was shameless. Nevertheless, they stood up and followed him as they certainly wanted to see if he was lying or not with their own eyes!
