Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 3833  Execution In A Minor Realm

"…"

Davis didn't move.

He remained stiff for quite a while, continuing to listen to their drivel, before Isabella tugged on his sleeves, causing him to look at her. She had an expression full of worry.

He returned his gaze to Evelynn and saw that she was also worried, but he gestured for her to continue.

"…"

Evelynn didn't know what to say.

Since she heard his friends were in danger, she lost all intent to help the ones in front of her. These two were strangers, while Fenren Jadelight, Soaren Goldsun, and Obsidian Crystal Turtle Clan's Patriarch were all good friends to him.

During Nadia's and Everlight's marriage, they all had fun and increased their general knowledge by talking and discussing the cultivation world with them.

For them to be arrested and thrown in prison all because they had made friends with Davis was nothing short of a calamity for them, no different from what the people against them preached. Although it was not a natural calamity, no one, not even sympathetic people, would side with them since they were friends with an evil incarnate.

What happened didn't sound good.

There were only seven days left for them to be executed, yet it might take more than that to travel realms. Judging by the content of their conversation, it seemed like their execution was collectively happening in the Obsidian Crystal Turtle Minor Realm, so people from many realms were zealously going to see their execution.

Rumor had it that they could also see the Anarchic Divergent there if he came, since this information is being broadcast across the Central Strata and Upper Strata, or even the Lower Strata, since that wasn't focused at the moment as Mystic Diviners ascertained there was little possibility for the Divine Emperor of Death to be there.

According to the Starmap of the Third Layer, they were indeed in the east of the Central Strata, which is known as the Eastern Central Strata. They were heading towards the Southern Central Strata since the Earth Dragon Lower Realm was located in the south of the Central Strata. Regardless, no matter where they go, they would be able to see people heading to the Obsidian Crystal Turtle Minor Realm.

In fact, it was on their way.

This low-key compromised their destination, and if Davis were to make a move to save them, it would completely expose their presence near the Azure Tree Lower Realm.

Evelynn couldn't believe how almost all their routes to salvation were blocked, despite the universe being so vast. Was this fate playing with them?

Nonetheless, it wasn't her call to change the plan.

Evelynn took a deep breath and renewed her mind. She looked at the two in front of her who may need help and could be saved, trying to focus on them.

She finally took a step forward and spoke.

"One Offensive Talisman at the Sovereign Grade."

"Which kind?"

The lady at the stall replied perfunctorily, as though she had done it numerous times, and spread her hands apart. A scroll was projected, and within it, over twenty two types of talismans could be seen listed with their names and usage. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

[Fire Attribute Talisman: Sundering Sky Blast]

[Low-Level Sovereign Grade]

[Prowess is enough to take out an average Level Three Sovereign at point blank range.]

There were many talismans, but Evelynn chose the one in the middle, as she pointed at it without saying a word.

The woman seemed to be used to silent customers and opened her mouth, "That would be eight hundred thousand High-Level Transcendent Crystals."

Evelynn exchanged the crystals and bought the talisman. It was sent flying to her, causing her to inwardly sigh. If possible, she would've liked to send a physical soul transmission, but at the same time, making this conversation as discreet as possible.

"I want to buy in bulk. Let's discuss the terms in an inconspicuous area." She offered.

The woman's gaze finally lit up.

It seemed she liked to empty out her inventory as soon as possible. However, her eyes also narrowed as she appeared dubious, but since the earlier transaction was a success, she lightly nodded.

"Alright, let's meet there. There's some private space."

The woman pointed at a restaurant on the opposite side.

Evelynn turned to look. It was pretty run-down, but she guessed it would suffice. She returned her gaze and nodded.

"Fine."

"Fahzi, pack it up. We might close the stall early if the sale succeeds."

The woman sent the boy, who was practicing drawing talismans, a soul transmission, and he quickly obeyed.

Soon, Evelynn and the woman's group were in a private room. There was no sign of Davis and Isabella since they were still outside, but the main reason they stayed outside was because the woman and the boy were too cautious, refusing to head inside the private space while being outnumbered.

Davis wasn't bothered.

It was common to get scammed or forced into some kind of shady business here, after all.

In fact, he inwardly nodded at them for being level-headed.

"My apologies."

The woman first opened her mouth, appearing to be proactive, "My name is Kalissa. I am a certified Talisman Master who passed the Mid-Level Sovereign Grade Exam, so I am capable of satisfying your request now and even in the future should you need talismans of the grades you've seen earlier. Did you say you wanted to buy all my talismans?"

Kalissa was a striking figure with black-green hair that seemed to shimmer in the dimly lit room. However, her black robe was a bit shabby, not at all exuding the glow a woman should have, perhaps to stay on no one's radar. Still, despite her shabby appearance, she exuded confidence and professionalism as she introduced herself as a certified Talisman Master.

"Precisely~"

Evelynn's captivating voice echoed.

She could only imagine how low the people of the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid had fallen, a bit of sadness welling up within her as though Hexena Xylusc's soul was resonating in her.

"Great~"

Kalissa's expression behind her semi-transparent veil rejoiced.

"Let me display all the offensive talismans just to make sure-"

"No need. Just give me everything."

"Uhm… You're going to pay, right?"

"Of course." Evelynn's voice became gentle.

"Many thanks~"

Kalissa doubted the other party since she couldn't see her face or make out who they were, but in this place, it was foolish to inquire about one's identity. She began tallying how many offensive talismans she had before chalking out a price.

However, she was hesitant to say it because it could be too much.

"How about a ten percent discount for all?"

"Sure."

"Great."

Kalissa clenched her fists. The boy beside her also seemed to be joyful. She aligned all the talismans neatly on a scroll and opened her mouth. However, she didn't realize something. The boy beside her had already fainted, and her senses turned numb, not allowing her to realize that she was slowly turning asleep.

Before she knew it, she had already dozed off while being seated.

Evelynn stood up.

She flicked her fingertip, causing the last of the purple dust to scatter.

Only, what she released wasn't poisonous, but something that numbed one's senses and allowed one to fall asleep. She released the dust into the air, and they didn't even notice amidst the excitement—not that they could notice as her concealment ability was great, not to mention her prowess had reached the Empyrean level.

"…"

Evelynn gently heaved a sigh.

She couldn't bring herself to deceive them or engage in a manner trying to convince them that she had inherited the mantle of the Empress of the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid Clan. If they refused to follow her, she had no choice but to kill them since people were starting to know that the Divine Emperor of Death had a first wife who was known as the Hex Demoness, another evil incarnate from the extinct Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid Clan that the wide world hunted down.

She was also a hot topic in this pirate town.

That's why she decided to just bring them in and explain later. Not one hint of their group could be allowed to spread.

She cast Sealing Hex on both of them and checked them for any signs of tracking. She didn't find any, so she threw them into her life ring. She then left the restaurant and saw Davis remaining silent as he looked into the bustling market, as though having a lot to think about.

He didn't even notice her coming out, causing her to come closer to him and tug on his sleeves.

"Let's go."

"…"

Davis turned to look at her, his face expressionless, before he smiled.

"Alright. We got the information we needed. It's safe to go to the other side. What about you?"

"Mhm~ We'll deal with them later."

Evelynn explained that she could bring them to the Nine-Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace first and convince them to join them.

"That works."

Davis nodded.

Soon, they returned to the flying ship and left towards the docking area before they flew off into space.

However, the flying ship was eerily silent.
