Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 3842 A Coincidental Encounter?

Chapter 3842  A Coincidental Encounter?

After some time, Yilla opened her mouth.

"Uhmm… Mingzhi may come off as rude, but she's only doing things to be of use to you, husband."

"I know," Davis smiled at her, "but it is better than getting herself killed over something she doesn't need to bother with. I'm happy she's using her wits to help me, but it is not needed in a case that's so dangerous to deal with using our current capabilities, and I would rather she enjoy the expensive meal we bought."

"May I ask why it is not needed? Everyone is worried for you." Yilla probed hesitantly.

"Yilla, there's no need to be so formal. Just speak as freely as Mingzhi does."

Hearing Davis's words, Yilla slightly nodded and made herself comfortable.

"Have you really given up on saving those three?"

She could only imagine how offensive these words were to a powerful man and to a man who cared about his friends as though they were brothers. She did understand that they were like sworn brothers.

"…"

Davis stared at her. He sighed, thinking he had gone a bit too far with Mingzhi, but he didn't think he was wrong.

Nonetheless, he opened his mouth.

"I am-"

Bzz

Abruptly, his messaging talisman buzzed, causing him to quickly dash out and appear near the exit.

There, he saw Mingzhi in confrontation with a group.

Only there wasn't a confrontation, but an altercation with someone trying to hara.s.s a group of black-robed people, although Mingzhi was mediating while s.h.i.+rley watched from the back, standing some distance away as though she had nothing to do with the situation.

's.h.i.+t… is that…?'

Davis's pupils dilated.

"Lady, I'm telling you." A white-robed man with a punchable face smiled. He looked smug, "These people are those d.a.m.ned inheritors from the Fire Phoenix Clan. I'm certain I've seen this woman take her hood off, and her face was a splitting image of the woman known as Sierra."

He pointed to one woman amidst the group of six and caused a clamor to erupt.

"Lady, I'm telling you." A white-robed man with a punchable face smiled. He looked smug, "These people are those d.a.m.ned inheritors from the Fire Phoenix Clan. I'm certain I've seen this woman take her hood off, and her face was a splitting image of the woman known as Sierra."

He pointed to one woman amidst the group of six and caused a clamor to erupt.

"What!?"

"Did he just say that they were those traitorous inheritors of the Fire Phoenix Clan who escaped?"

Many people stood up, some even looking down from the upper floors to see what was going on. Some people even took out the posters they collected to see if that person really was Sierra.

"How can you be so certain?" Mingzhi sounded confused, "The Fire Phoenix Lower Realm is at least two realms away. How did they get past so many checkpoints? Besides, what are you trying to do to make trouble here? Everyone of us has a black mark and hides our ident.i.ties to survive day after day. Are you trying to wreck our town, or are you trying to call the authorities here?"

"f.u.c.k. Is he from the Earth Dragon Clan?"

"Who are you!?"

Instantly, the others roared and questioned the ident.i.ty of the white-robed man with a smug expression. However, his smugness didn't last long, as he saw everyone gathering around him instead of the woman he pointed at.

"Wait… I swear to the hea- I mean, I'm sure she is Sie-"

Pow!~

Mingzhi slapped him and raised her voice, "Brothers and sisters, this transcendent creep not only doesn't dare to swear to the heavens, but he also dares to jeopardize our lives. Thrash him~"

"Thrash him!"

The others followed him to where he was sent flying and began to beat him up. As he received so many kicks, the white-robed man crawled like a turtle and didn't retaliate in order to survive. This was a pirate town. Even if someone killed him, no one would ask a question.

He didn't dare retaliate because his ear was still ringing and his head was spinning.

In that moment, the black-robed individuals were gone.

So were Mingzhi and the others.

They appeared outside, gathering in an alleyway.

s.h.i.+rley ran to them and held a black-robed person's hands.

"Sierra, I never thought I would see you again."

"So did I, s.h.i.+rley~ I'm so glad to see you."

Sierra removed her hood and looked teary eyed. It felt so good to see someone who wasn't trying to kill her.

"So you're the brains of this family, the hidden night empress who oversees the intelligence network."

A black-robed person neared Mingzhi as he removed his hood.

It was none other than Ancestor Zenflame. He had vaguely heard about her, as he thought it was strange how a Divergent's family could act so organized and stay ahead of most kinds of schemes. He looked so grateful as he cupped his hands.

"I'm no such thing…"

Mingzhi shrugged as she shot a look at Davis as though blaming him.

"Alright, alright. I'm sorry, my hidden night empress…"

Davis came closer and touched her cheek. He just checked to see if some people were following him. Fortunately, they were all busy beating up those who tried to ruin their businesses or lives here. They wouldn't be able to take their attention away since he cast Misdirection on them, allowing them to not take their gaze off the white-robed man.

"…"

Mingzhi's gaze flickered. She pouted.

"I do so much for you, yet you have the gall to say you will hate me?"

"I went too far. Forgive me. However, isn't it better that you cry instead of seeing one of us die?"

"…"

Mingzhi's gaze shook. She lowered her gaze and said, "I'm sorry. I may be getting ahead of myself since I don't really know what lies ahead of our journey. Any one of my plan could lead back to us in a way we won't expect. It's just… I-"

"Hoho~ Did we interrupt a lover's quarrel?"

Another black-robed person stepped forward.

He reached out his hand to the head and removed the hood, revealing his face. He was none other than Founder Rocksunder!

At the same time, the others also revealed their faces.

Other than Sierra, Founder Zenflame, and Founder Rocksunder, there were also Hirona, Crystia, and Noctis here! In other words, all six of the inheritors from the Fire Phoenix Clan and the Earth Dragon Clan.

"…"

However, s.h.i.+rley narrowed her brows.

"I sensed Zahara's blood, and that's why I was able to quickly recognize that it was you people and had Mingzhi diffuse the situation since my face is well known and would be spotted. Where is she?"

Founder Zenflame and the others looked at each other before they looked a bit sad.

"She-"
