Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 165



Chapter 165

Lifeless bodies lay down over the surface, painting the ground red with blood as a raw stench emanated around the area .

"Hmph! Trash like these are supposed to enjoy the benefits of joining our Alliance? They sure do know how to dream . . . " The sharp-eyed Outer Hall Elder spat out in a cold tone .

His clothes were drenched in blood after he personally and cruelly executed these Fifth Stage experts when refused to obey his command .

"What a waste of resources . . . At least, they were useful for quenching our anger . " Another Sixth Stage expert sneered as he cruelly laughed .

He clothing looked like it belonged to the Alstreim Family .

Ruthless and unreasonable! This was how the world works here despite the claim of Claire on how beautiful it was .

Compared to the Grand Sea Continent which has partly stabilized by reaching consensus, this world was still battling for supremacy which none had been able to take for themselves .

There were too many top powers, which in turn encouraged the cultivators here to scheme and plunder to enrich their own authority and wealth, even at the prospect of death .

Here, reputation was like a drug . They get drunk on it so much that they even sacrifice their own families to maintain their reputation; face .

People serve their masters with utmost loyalty! Just so that they don't get abandoned later on in their life . They wag their tails better than dogs to enrich their lives and won't hesitate to do their master's bidding!

This was a dog eat dog world! People were afraid to trust, cautious of each other, wary of everything, suck up to their superiors and maintain status quo with their acknowledged equals .

This was quite true in the Grand Sea Continent as well, but it was not quite as rampant as this world .

"I wonder if those ten guards managed to kill some of our enemies . They are pretty strong at their level if you consider their prowess . " The Outer Hall Elder said as he touched his chin .

"Tch! Those ten guards clearly knew that they were going to be harshly treated when we return to the Tripartite Alliance even though it isn't their fault . So they cleverly planned and acted as if they went to sacrifice themselves! Only to return later on and tell the higher-ups that they did their best . If you don't believe me, then watch the entrance . The truth should be revealed then . . . " A blue-robed woman spoke as if she knew it all .

She looked innocent when she curved her lips with a smile on her face .

The other two's face twitched as they looked at her seductive silhouette . They so much wanted to have her but knew that appearances were quite deceptive .

It was especially clear in this woman's case who was known for her viciousness in dealing with men . It was rumoured that she ruthlessly dealt with men when battling, such as dealing them a generation shattering blow .

"Haha, if Outer Sect Elder speaks so, then it might be the case . . . " The two of them nodded and replied .

They didn't want to offend a person of equal status for no reason either, especially after they knew that this woman was favoured by an Inner Sect Elder .

Suddenly, the distorted space flickered, causing their eyes to narrow .

"Ahhh! Help me!" A miserable silhouette, drenched in blood ran towards them with a frightened face .

Their faces changed as they quickly asked, "What happened?!"

They could recognize him as one of the 180 Fifth Stage Experts they sent in the first wave .

The miserably injured man slightly rejoiced when the distorted space behind him flickered again .

A figure quickly shot towards him as the energy around the figure turned unstable .

"Not good!' This kind of feeling erupted in those three elders minds, causing them to back out subconsciously .

*Boom!*

The figure who rushed out exploded into hundreds of bloody chunks as the explosion levelled the whole area but didn't manage to leave a dent on the spatial tunnel .

The three elders had a look of utter confusion gleaming in their eyes .

The two of them looked at the woman and asked with a strange expression on their faces, "As you said, a guard really did appear, but why did he self-destruct?"

The woman had an equal look of confusion written all over her face, "How should I know?!"

The three of them were visibly confused and they could see the looks of each other, increasing their doubts about this event .

The three then secretly looked at each other suspiciously .

They couldn't tell who orchestrated this farce, but they absolutely couldn't see the motive to do so .

'Could it be the guards went berserk and chose to self-destruct on us as an act of revenge instead of self-destructing at those enemies?'

They couldn't help but think that way since they couldn't realise the motive of the orchestrator .

The three went silent, warily looking around trying to gauge each other, but the atmosphere just kept getting worse .

"Say, let's report to the higher-ups . . . " The blue-robed woman said as she dispelled the hostility gathering around them .

"Lets's do that . . . " The other two elder nodded their heads in agreement .

Although all three of them belonged to the Tripartite Alliance, they were of different groups after all .

So, fights to the death were quite common unless one is found out of their transgressions .

Still looking warily at each other, they sent word through the jade stone to their respective seniors and waited for further instructions .

They fiddled with the jade stone after some time and spoke some words unto it a few minutes later .

They looked at each other, slightly nervous, "Did you guys get called to the headquarters?"

The other two nodded their head slowly, indicating that they received the same instructions .

"Well, let's just hope that they'll let us go with light punishments . . . " The blue-clothed lady smiled .

The other two cursed as they knew that she had the favour of an Inner Sect Elder .
