Divine Emperor of Death

Davis looked at his father and mother as he inwardly laughed. He felt that if he were to be a few seconds late in feeding the antidote pill to Lucas, then there would be death and infighting among the two families.

Fortunately, it didn't turn into a drama with his quick thoughts of using the avatar to handle the situation. Before this, he felt that if he were to inform Evelynn, she wouldn't have definitely fed the 'intruder' the antidote pill.

Lucas's status as an intruder was already cemented in her mind and it would be difficult to remove it anytime soon in that heat of the moment.

After all, there was an enormous amount of killing intent he felt from Evelynn when she attacked the 'intruder'. If he had waited for her to feed the pill to Lucas by convincing her that he was not an intruder, then only a corpse would've been left by now.

After that, this silly yet worried woman Evelynn had tried to feed him an antidote pill, not knowing whether if it would even work on him or not.

Heck, she couldn't even tell if he was poisoned but still tried to cure him with an antidote anyway.

From this, he could garner that she had absolutely panicked at that point, worrying over his wellbeing! However, he really couldn't find Evelynn wrong in comparison to the situation.

In his perspective, all the problem lied within him and Lucas. 

Davis had no idea why the latter had shown up! He did not expect Lucas to sneak in either.

There was also the fact that if he had not decided to create an avatar at that time, maybe this mess would've never happened. He could've informed the others before creating an avatar, or secluded himself but it didn't cross his mind at that point.

He discerned that he was rather hasty in this endeavor to create an avatar.

Nevertheless, there was no way he could've considered this situation happening. It had been totally unexpected for him!

"It's a mistake..." Davis let out a wry smile and started to explain the sequence of events.

In his explanation, he had to lie that his Solitary Soul Avatar Technique was just a unique technique that his master gave him and at that point, only Evelynn understood that it was a lie but she didn't bat an eyelid, instead, kept listening to him with all seriousness.

Other than this, he explained as he witnessed and understood.

On how he tried to create an avatar and succeeded.

On how he became weak after splitting a part of his soul essence.

On how Evelynn had misunderstood the situation and attacked Lucas out of pure anger.

And the resulting events that happened till he forced the pill into Lucas's mouth using his avatar.

Hearing all this, Logan and Claire felt surreal while Evelynn became aghast, blaming herself for what she did to Lucas.

She had poisoned an innocent!

"Evelynn..." Davis suddenly called.

Evelynn trembled as she looked at him, feeling guilty and nervous, even afraid that he would berate her.

"Runaway..." Davis smiled.

"Wha...?" Evelynn didn't understand as her facial expression turned into one of confusion.

"Next time, run away if you see me poisoned. A person who can poison me is someone you cannot handle."

Evelynn became stunned!

"At that time, run. Run far away as you can and never look back till you feel that you are safe. Got it?"

Evelynn instantly yet slightly shook her head in defiance.

"Nod for me..." Davis domineeringly uttered and as if reacting to that, her defiance instantly crumbled as she nodded her head.

Davis smiled tiredly, "Very good. However, what you did now was not your fault. The fault lies within me for negligence and Lucas for trying to sneak in... Do you understand?

Evelynn became stunned again!

Seeing that Evelynn didn't respond even after a moment, Davis stated once more, "Nod for me..."

Only then did Evelynn nod her head like a pecking hen, her eyes turning moist like she was a crybaby.

Davis just smiled and patted her head as he shuffled her lustrous green hair, feeling it to be soft and silky. He let go of her and saw that his parents were smiling heartily.

He then blinked and garnered from his avatar that Lucas was still not awake, however, he could see that his condition has become better and stable. Lucas's skin was not pale anymore but became fair.

The antidote was rather powerful in countering her poison since it was specially created for her, so Davis wasn't surprised at this development.

Lucas was just breathing normally without any difficulties at this point. The blisters that spawned over his entire skin has been cured, leaving only a bit of scar.

At this point, was he supposed to be thankful that Evelynn was not at the Fifth Stage, the Law Seed Stage?

'Otherwise, wouldn't she have instakilled Lucas with her poison?' Davis wryly thought.

However, even if she wasn't at the Fifth Stage, it only took a few moments for the poison to enter Lucas's body and wreak havoc as it affected his entire meridian pathway and blood vessels while corrupting his innards, rendering him incapable of doing anything.

Lucas was at the Fourth Stage just like Evelynn in Essence Gathering Cultivation, but the damage the poison dealt him easily made him almost die.

Indeed, poison is extremely scary! Especially when the poison is at the same level! If Davis didn't have Fallen Heaven's energy then perhaps he would be scared as well.

In a few seconds, as if answering to the wishes of the many people who were beside him, Lucas's eyes quivered. The little action of his garnered gasps and sounds of worry, especially from Su Hualing and Nina.

Su Hualing instantly came forward and looked at her son in anxiousness, however, she didn't say anything before he woke up.

Lucas's eyes which quivered instantly shot open as he sat up. His eyes were blank but then he blinked and the light in his eyes returned. At the same time, he jerked forward and continuously spat out waves of black viscous liquid which was none other than his blood.

Su Hualing and Nina looked at the contaminated blood and went pale while the others had their expressions considerably change. They became increasingly sure of her conjecture that someone had tried to intrude here and poisoned Lucas through some coincidence but was thwarted by Davis.

Once he finished coughing out the black spittle of blood, Lucas wiped his mouth with his sleeves and spat out the remaining saliva that gave a bad taste in his mouth.

"Son, are you fine?" Su Hualing asked.

Lucas took two deep breaths before he said, "Yes..."

The others all visibly relaxed and Nina patted her tummy as she heaved a long sigh. It was as if she let out all the worry in her heart fly away.

By the side, Davis's avatar watched all this happen.

The avatar which was translucent before had already turned corporeal, like a normal fleshy body. However, if one were to cut the avatar's surface of the skin, no blood will flow because the whole body is just an amalgamation of soul force and soul essence.

The avatar suddenly turned to look at the entrance gathering the attention of the others as they also looked.

Davis, Evelynn, Logan, and Claire entered the room at this time.
