Divine Emperor of Death

Evelynn went through Davis's spatial ring for a while. Seeing that she was thoroughly inspecting, the others also started going through the spatial ring, the ones Davis and Isabella looted.

Isabella investigated the Zlatan Family's spatial rings while Sophie took care of the Domitian Family's spatial rings. Most of the other spatial rings were given to the others for going through. Fiora even got the one snatched from the Ike Family's Heztus Ike.

Once they checked these spatial rings, many faces changed as they saw the crap they had in their spatial rings, especially those belonging to the Poison Lord Villa. There were just too many corpses of men and women, mostly corpses of women, a lot of naked women. It almost made them vomit, but they kept their sanity in check and ignored it.

The Dragon Families were not much different other than the corpses. The content in their spatial rings really made them doubt if these people were from the righteous path.

The one thing common in their spatial rings was the Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources, which were said to be banned from being used for cultivation. Evidently, the peak powerhouses didn't seem to care about such a rule.

However, the wealth in them was also mindboggling, making them widen their eyes in shock.

There were roughly thousands of Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments with just a sweep, their total count reaching even the millions when accounting for all the spatial rings they looted. If exchanged in the market for a high price, their value could reach a hundred billion of Peak-Level Spirit Stones, but no one in their right mind would exchange these valuables for a lower quality energy stone.

In total, they found around 4,453,134 Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments and 36 Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources. Of them, some of them had elemental attributes within them.

However, Isabella didn't bat an eye because she possessed more than this amount with her Immortal Inheritance. Her inheritance was loaded with ten million Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments and a hundred Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources.

Moreover, there were just too many resources that would help them grow.

Nevertheless, the girls didn't even spend half a minute on the wealth and got to the records where they could obtain numerous information. In an instant, the garden hall became filled with scrolls and books. They started to go through it, reading them with wide eyes and their soul senses throughout the night.

It was dawn already.

When the sun came out, a thud echoed as a person dropped the books and sighed.

"Anyone got a lead?"

Mo Mingzhi appeared a bit exhausted as she rubbed her forehead. She had overdrafted her soul force to read thousands of records in these few hours. The others didn't seem as tired as her, but that was because their souls were higher in cultivation than hers.

Nevertheless, they equally shook their heads, stating that they didn't find anything relevant.

"I double-checked the records you're all reading, and I didn't find anything that would help."

Isabella uttered as before she pursed her lips. Her Supreme Soul Stage soul force was enough for her to keep at this for weeks and even months. Due to her speed, she already finished going through every spatial ring and the records and still didn't find anything relevant.

"Husband didn't seem to have anything relevant either."

Evelynn shook her head.

She found a lot of things, including many corpses, unscrupulous dual cultivation manuals, and it all held true to what he had told her before. Her husband rarely did hide anything from her.

Isabella hesitated for a moment before she asked for Davis's spatial ring. She also began checking it to see if she could find something Evelynn failed to see. After some time of focused research, she sighed.

"I think we need to go to libraries of the peak powers to learn how to help Davis recover or find a world-renowned physician or an apothecary who could help us. Apothecary Nazca Alstreim did say for us to choose the latter method."

Isabella spoke as she looked at the others.

Physicians only knew how to treat the human body, while apothecaries knew that on top of having knowledge on nurturing medicinal herbs. In short, all apothecaries were physicians, but all physicians were not apothecaries.

A few hours ago, Apothecary Nazca Alstreim visited and checked Tina Roxley and explained that she had fainted due to the Aching Desolate Soul Ailment, which was rare but not uncommon when viewed from the perspective of the annals of history. Apparently, it occurs to a person who has a strong desire and love for someone, yet when it was unreciprocated and lost, never to be received again, is when the soul would enter a state of coma. Usually, this was accompanied by extreme stress, and a direct manifestation of it was the person's hair turning white.

The verdict was that the person wouldn't wake up unless their subconscious soul wants to hear what it wants to hear the most, and that should be Davis's voice in this case, or so Apothecary Nazca Alstreim mused.

If not, there's plenty of chances for Tina Roxley's soul to deteriorate with time and die, or it is also possible to find her own will to live and wake up, although it seemed to be unlikely because according to Apothecary Nazca Alstreim, if Tina Roxley had the will to live upon seeing such a gruesome scene, she never would've received this kind of ailment in the first place.

As for Davis, the ladies wanted to try their luck and had Apothecary Nazca Alstreim see him, but she just shook her head, apologizing while saying that she didn't even know how Davis's body hadn't begun rotting, finally pronouncing him to be most likely dead. Unlike Isabella and Nadia, she didn't even know that Davis's body was still alive, so they could see that her knowledge was limited, but they didn't blame her.

In the end, Apothecary Nazca Alstreim advised them to seek world-renowned Apothecaries if they were still not convinced and left, again giving deep apologies for her uselessness. Now, they also couldn't find anything from the records that would help them cure Davis, but their knowledge of the world had vastly increased that even Davis would be surprised if he woke up.

During this time, Nadia had already gone out and patrolled the Alstreim Family Territory with her doppelganger.

There were a few cases of random powerhouses trying to enter to see what was going on, but before they even knew it, they ended up in Nadia's little stomach that seemed to quickly digest whatever was eaten. Her size may be small, but the rate that she ate and digested was faster than Mira, a huge Earth Dragon.

Nevertheless, from the ominous wolf's aggression towards outsiders, they understood that they could not enter the Alstreim Family Territory no matter what. However, only the powerhouses seemed to be restricted. As for the eighth stage experts, they seemed to be allowed into the Territory as long as they didn't gather in groups.

However, they were not allowed to be near the Alstreim Family.

With a few tests, the powers outside found out the ominous wolf's limits and felt like they should act within those limits because they didn't want to aggravate it anymore.

However, the negotiations to de-escalate the situation between the Dragon Families and the Alstreim Family were still going on. The poor Thousand Pill Palace hosted the Dragon Families and the two great righteous sects as they engaged in sophistry and cheap tactics to blame each other.

The Dragon Families blamed the two great righteous sects for leaving Davis's family alive, including the ominous wolf, while the two great righteous sects intended to blame the Dragon Families for their sinful acts. The way they retreated was also brought into question. It was a never-ending charade that neither party wanted to take responsibility for!

As for Old Man Yorhan, the Peak-Level Soul Emperor, they never heard from him again after he announced closed-door seclusion to heal his soul. But, hearing that made them painfully aware that dealing with the ominous wolf remained something they couldn't possibly achieve without all the peak powerhouses of the Four Great Righteous Sects gathering.

If even Old Man Yorhan was critically injured by a soul attack from the ominous wolf, then they wouldn't survive at all from a similar soul attack.

Besides, two Dragon Families Patriarch were dead, and that simply shook the entire human world, bringing more infamy to the ominous wolf and its supposed master, the dead Emperor of Death. To add on top of that, the ominous wolf's aggressiveness was limited towards those powerhouses who enter the Alstreim Family Territory without approval and not the people inside the Territory, making it so that it could definitely be reasoned with as long as they could talk with Dragon Queen Isabella.

Therefore, they were hesitant to make a move on the ominous wolf when they could somehow make this work by being reasonable with Dragon Queen Isabella, who supposedly has control over the ominous wolf at the moment.

However, this decision that would cause immense casualties or no causalities within their ranks was simply harder to make.

At this time, in the Burning Phoenix Ridge, a woman wearing a fiery-crimson robe walked out of closed-door seclusion. She possessed a wide smile on her face that indicated her joyful mood while she spun around looking as if she had achieved something great.

"Oh, Esvele, you're here as well. Wait a minute..."

A melodious voice echoed out from the woman as she took out a messaging talisman, seemingly not noticing the clouded expression of her junior sister Esvele.

Esvele's heart sank.

In this palace, only she knew that the dead Emperor of Death was Davis, but how was she going to break the bad news to elder sister Shirley?

She couldn't help but inwardly freak out as she saw senior sister Shirley trying to contact Davis!
