Divine Emperor of Death

"Take them away..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim waved his hand.

Grand Elder Krax Alstreim obediently followed Ancestor Dian Alstreim's instruction and left with the three prisoners by wrapping them up with his flame-attributed essence energy. This way, if they tried to something stupid like escaping, he could promptly put them in their respective place.

However, contrary to his expectations, none of them struggled.

"How is it, Daniuis Alstreim? Is my verdict acceptable to you?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim asked for a second time.

Daniuis came out of his reverie as he blinked at the Ancestor.

On the other hand, the crowd displayed various expressions in their eyes as their face fell in loathing. The favor that was shown to Daniuis Alstreim let people feel jealous and even envious.

Why weren't they Daniuis Alstreim? They couldn't help but lament.

On the other hand, Edgar Alstreim sighed in relief and happiness. The fact that Ancestor Dian Alstreim apologized to him was itself a miracle, but to think that the Ancestor even helped his elder brother obtain justice.

They were just failed talents at this point. He was crippled while his big brother wasted his potential to race to the Law Sea Stage. They weren't worthy of being considered or be specially treated by the Ancestor.

Could it be that the apology that Ancestor Dian Alstreim that he received through his father-in-law was really in good faith? Although he felt skeptical at first, he now started to believe that Ancestor Dian Alstreim is upright and just, and not a questionable man who is without integrity.

However, he couldn't help but sigh.

Why was such a person not in charge of the internal affairs of the family?

Daniuis nodded his head in a forceful manner and bowed ninety degrees till his waist bent, "I thank the revered Ancestor with all my heart and soul. The fact that I'm an exiled person adds more weight to your righteous and upright verdict!"

Usually, an exiled person possessed no right to ask for justice. The fact that he was even listened to came off like a miracle to him.

The initial plan was to have the mighty Conferred Queen and the mysterious Protector obtain him justice, but there wasn't even a need for them to open their mouths before he obtained justice. Such a conclusion, he hadn't expected it one bit, not even in his dreams.

If it weren't for Ancestor Dian Alstreim, the first thing that would have happened when he was found out that he was the exiled Daniuis Alstreim would've resulted in his arrest and lifelong imprisonment!

Ancestor Dian Alstreim simply nodded his head at the praise, "Daniuis Alstreim, you were exiled wrongfully in the first place. You crippled Luth Alstreim, but why did you do that? It was to protect your maids, or I heard so. It is in your right to protect your property, and the incident happened in your estate while Luth Alstreim was visiting as a guest. Even if you had killed him for this matter, it wouldn't have become your fault."

"I, and we all know to differentiate from right from wrong within the laws established by our ancestors. Hence, it is clear as day as to who should've been punished, and I merely made things right by sentencing them, the people who have wronged you for their crimes."

"Furthermore, a quarter of the spirit stones that Yuldra Alstreim and Runnim Alstreim mine will belong to you every ten years on the day of collection. Hence, are you willing to come back to the family again?

Daniuis trembled as he heard the words that he vaguely wanted to hear. Furthermore, the words personally came from the Ancestor himself.

What kind of honor and favor was this!?

Many felt their stomachs churn with envy.

Usually, an exiled wouldn't be recalled again! They have never seen precedence, much less a case like this that overturned their established views of the Alstreim Family!

They glared daggers at Daniuis, wondering why a man who had wasted his talent is being treated like this!

Daniuis felt incredibly conflicted right now!

On the one hand, he wanted to nod his head as he felt a yearning to return to this, perhaps reforming family. On the other hand, he didn't feel it was right to leave Davis and the others. He felt like he was betraying their cause if he were to join the Alstreim Family.

At this moment, he saw Davis imperceptibly nod his head, and right after that gesture, he no longer felt hesitant.

"It is my honor to return to the Alstreim Family, Revered Ancestor!"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim chuckled as he nodded his head. He turned to look at Davis's Solitary Soul Avatar and asked, "I figure that my actions have entertained you?"

"Haha!" Davis laughed, "It was more than entertaining than I thought it would be. I saw a useless and prodigal son be showered with boundless love from his mother, and a grandfather who wished that he never possessed descendants like them, his eyes seething with hatred at being betrayed."

"It was entertaining, to say the least!"

Davis wasn't aversive to granduncle Daniuis joining the Alstreim Family. It was in line with his plan. Besides, his group would lessen, and as an end result, his responsibilities to take care of them would also decrease!

Furthermore, he was going to make this place as his stronghold for the foreseeable future. That thought that he had decided during the battle exchange because of the weakness he felt hasn't changed.

It was a win-win situation for him.

Daniuis Alstreim suddenly spoke, "Revered Ancestor. I have sent my sons and daughters to temper themselves in the Towering Cloud Hall and Falling Snow Sect. I have lost contact with them, and I suspect that they are suppressed at the behest of Runnim Alstreim. I plead that someone from the Alstreim Family to look into his matter."

"Don't worry..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim chuckled in a confident manner, "Since you're a member of the Alstreim Family again, let's see how they still continue to err. I will send an Elder to investigate."

"Many thanks! I'm indebted to this kindness Ancestor has shown."

"Ah, don't bother..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim waved his hand, "It's something that you deserve and have already suffered for..."

"I'm merely doing what I feel is right."

Daniuis Alstreim didn't say anything anymore before he gave a long three-second bow. When he lifted up his face and stood straight, a voice echoed.

"Now that your matter is cleared. I want to clear another point."

Patriarch Eldric Alstreim suddenly stood up and walked to the center. He waved his hand, and a sound barrier formed around, including only the people who sat on the elevated platform, and that included Elder Havle Alstreim.

However, the Conferred Queen's group wasn't included in the sound barrier, including the Conferred Queen's Protector. His sound barrier was powerful enough to completely stop people from listening to their conversation.

"Can I, Revered Ancestor?" He slightly bowed towards Ancestor Dian Alstreim as he clasped his hands.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim creased his brows before he looked at the protector.

Davis didn't say anything. He just relaxed and lazily leaned on the throne.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim returned his gaze and nodded, "Go ahead."

Patriarch Eldric Alstreim nodded his head in return and clasped his hand towards the Conferred Queen's Protector for his understanding before he looked at Daniuis Alstreim.

"Rumors have been going around that the aboriginals from the danger zone, Forsaken Phoenix Realm, might have entered the Tripartite Alliance Territory by finding a new way."

"It is also rumored that the one who killed the Grand Elder of the Tripartite Alliance's Alstreim Family Faction was an aboriginal."

Patriarch Eldric Alstreim's expression became solemn as he asked.

"Say, is there any chance that you have colluded with them?"
