Chapter 2979  Starlight Jade Wolf Clan's Status

Davis arrived at the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan.

He had settled near a valley in the nearby mountains when he had left here, so he made sure to hide his tracks when he left the place to confront the elders of the Fire Phoenix Clan by instantly warping in a flying boat.

While returning to the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan, Davis informed his people of his current status, letting them know he was still alive while Patriarch Killian Zenflame was retrieved by his people. He further clarified that he didn't kill Patriarch Killian Zenflame but had lots of phoenix meat in store for them, causing them to laugh and salivate.

He didn't know why they laughed, but they were rejoicing at the fact that they were right, that Davis didn't kill Patriarch Killian Zenflame.

Nonetheless, Davis was a bit taken aback when he heard that Flamerose and Frostrose were joining his group. They had actually said that they were willing to become King-Tier Immortal King Beasts, and Shirley sent them away on an expedition.

'My fiery beauty… what is she thinking…?'

Apparently, the place which Shirley sent them has something that is important to her, so she sent them to procure a heavenly resource for her. It was still within the Aurora Cloud Gate's Domain, albeit at the edge but also away from the eastern side, so Davis wasn't worried about the two of their safety, especially when Elders and even Grand Elders were posted throughout the Domain ever since he left.

According to Yotan, they had even killed three Immortal Emperors of other powers trying to sneak into the region.

But still, if Flamerose and Frostrose agreed to become King-Tier Beasts, he wondered why not just ask for Everlight's grace...? It's not like they agreed to turn Emperor-Tier, which would burden Everlight.

'She's giving them a trial now...'

He smilingly shook his head, looking at how the tables turned.

Even if Flamerose and Frostrose asked him to reconsider slaughtering the Fire Phoenix Clan, he would've done so as he was already not willing to endanger the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan, not to mention he felt indebted to them on so many levels for helping Clara and Shirley show a clear path and remaining supportive of them even while they were inheritance masters.

Even if he revived them and could have been said to have repaid the debt, the warm feelings he felt for them could not be taken away as he respected them.

Soon, he made it to the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan's Prefecture.

However, he narrowed his eyes as he saw a few of Fire Phoenix Clan's Grand Elders still remain on the battlefield.

He stood from Nadia's back, falling into the skies when he took a step forward, his feet clad in jade-crimson annihilative wind. His figure shook, creating a windy figure before he quickly disappeared, reappearing right above a crimson-robed man who seemed to be in contention with a Starlight Jade Wolf Clan's Grand Elder as they spewed curses at each other.

Davis extended his hand as a scythe appeared in his grasp.

It was Yama.

It seemed to be static in his hands, but one could see it flicker ever so lightly. He rushed past that person and pounced over another, his flawless movements not even generating the slightest wind before he stepped past the other man and moved on to the third, fourth, and fifth.

"Yiaaaaahhh!!!~*

But the moment he got to the fifth and the last, a hair-raising cry shook the Fire Phoenix Clan's Grand Elders, causing the fifth Grand Elder to abruptly widen his eyes and retreat.

The fifth Grand Elder was shocked to see a purple-robed man abruptly stand near the place where he stood.

"…!"

As he was about to shout that the Emperor of Death was here, a stinging pain suddenly rose him out of his reverie, causing him to glance to the side and see that his right arm was missing. However, he was used to pain, so he didn't react much, but when he saw his fellow Grand Elders floating in space as body parts, a fierce chill sank into his heart.

"Leave. Your Grand Elders are all my prisoners right now."

Davis's soul force surged, encompassing the four people he sliced cleanly into limbs, leaving their torsos and head still attached.

"You-"

The Grand Elder, who only got his arm severed, saw a black-winged wolf swallow it, causing whatever he was about to say to be stuck in his mouth. The next moment, Davis absorbed all four Grand Elders into his Nine-Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace as they were unable to resist his soul prowess.

They tried resisting, so it was better to say that they gave up as they instantly realized the difference in their prowess.

As Grand Elders, they didn't exceed the Level Four Immortal Emperor Stage in prowess, so they were quickly taken care of by the Emperor of Death. Even after being taken into his palace, they didn't put up any resistance, turning silent as though to appear that they were not a danger to him.

Davis's lips curled at this scene.

He did expect them to cooperate but not this easily, expecting them to put up a fight and then basing them into submission.

Still, there was another treasure that he could use to seal them. However, he didn't use the Nine-Phoenix Locking Relic because they had to attack him for it to work.

"Did you not hear me? If you want these old foggies back, the Fire Phoenix Clan better talk it through and surrender."

Nonetheless, he quickly returned to his gaze on the Grand Elder and spoke in a cold tone, causing that Grand Elder to remain frozen.

However, Davis squinted his eyes as he saw that the Grand Elder had already escaped. He had rushed into the distance, almost disappearing as he left an illusion behind that still remained like it was afraid of death.

'Heh… a fey Grand Elder from the Fire Phoenix Clan using Illusion Laws...'

Davis couldn't help but chuckle as he saw that there weren't only fire-breathing phoenixes around.

Turning around, he patted Nadia and opened his mouth.

"Don't eat raw food. I don't condemn it, but it's crass for someone of your stature."

"Pu~*

Nadia spat something out.

Davis saw a skeleton of a hand all the way to the elbow bone plunging to the ground.

"I understand. I won't do it again."

"…" Davis blinked, "No, forget what I said."

He knew he was wrong when he saw a powerful Immortal Emperor's arm flesh getting digested in just a few seconds except the bone. If a cultivator's stomach could say to be capable of digesting all kinds of things, then an immortal beast's stomach was probably ten or a hundred times stronger, depending on the race and species, and Davis had no doubt that Nadia's death-attributed stomach did quick work on almost everything.

He felt that she was probably impervious to most poisons as well.

Shortly, he learned some information from the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan's Grand Elders, who were completely respectful towards him.

"Oh? Even the Obsidian Crystal Turtle Clan's Patriarch is here? Then I must go meet them."

Davis thanked the Grand Elders with cupped hands, making them feel extremely honored before they brought him to the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan's main palace.

He learned a few things while on the way, like how no one dared to attack them anymore or how harassing moves were made, which was still endurable.

"Ahahaha!~"

As soon as he stepped onto the platform, a boisterous roar shook the palace, causing Davis to smile as he saw the other Patriarch he had befriended make his way to him.

"Emperor of Death! Have you been out slaughtering the chickens making needless noise?"

Patriarch Soaren Goldsun floated over to Davis along with the other two Patriarchs beside him. They were smiling, appearing to be quite proud and in a good mood which made Davis also smile.

Most likely, he imagined that they had also heard the news that Patriarch Killian Zenflame had died once and was rejoicing at that fact.

"It's not like that, but yes. I have indeed been slaughtering some chickens, albeit I'm keeping them alive for a few reasons."

"Force is violence, the supreme authority from which all other authority is derived. Don't be so concerned about our lives. As long as you slaughter your way to the top, you are the law. You are the supreme authority."

Patriarch Soaren Goldsun spoke with passion.

"…"

However, The Starlight Jade Wolf King looked at the Golden Crow Clan's Patriarch as though questioning if he was for real.

After all, who incurred the most damage in this war? It was obviously his own Starlight Jade Wolf Clan, so he wanted to avoid bloodshed if it was possible. He couldn't keep asking his people to die for his friendship, could he?

No- he could ask as their King but as their King, he didn't want them to die in vain.

He promised to buy time for Davis and achieved just that, further understanding that any more valiant actions would purely be courting death.

"Isn't that why they're all wary and trying to kill me while I'm young?"

Davis chuckled as he continued, "I would be justifying their cause if I were to do that. What I want to do is cultivate self-defense and growth. Not to extend an overbearing hand."

"Of course, I didn't mean that." Patriarch Soaren Goldsun shook his head, "A long time ago, I read that even in the mortal world, peace can only be achieved through absolute violence, so as long as your intentions are good and your enemies are trying to end your life, I think retaliation in the form of absolute violence is in order."

"Haha~ I can't refute that."

Davis nodded. His gaze then fell onto the black-robed man who evoked a sense of camaraderie, yet not as he really couldn't understand their position.

"Obsidian Crystal Turtle Clan's Patriarch, to what do I owe you the pleasure?"
