Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 683 Taking Turns To Investigate



Havle Alstreim took a deep breath and harrumphed at Emperor Kaiser Ethren, causing the latter to go passive in obedience. He turned to look at his surroundings with a three-sixty degree spin of his body before he turned towards the senior who had unveiled this all after confirming that things were within this senior's control.

His eyes finally possessed a semblance of gratitude and respect. However, deep within those eyes, was a profound amount of reverence and fear.

He felt that if this senior were to be in the Supreme Soul Stage, then even he would become a slave with that simple yet mysterious and profound slave seal cast on him without being able to retaliate!

Such a slave seal technique! He had never seen it before!

Something that removed the will of a person is truly scary, rare, and unattainable as far as he knew but this further entrenched the fact that the Conferred Queen should be from a rather extravagant background!

Davis didn't bother with the clamor that erupted because it had all been silenced with Havle Alstreim's look that scanned the surroundings. It was plain to see that the others didn't want to get involved in the mess as the four Royal Protectors were partly convicted and already made into a slave by the Conferred Queen's Protector; which is him.

The Royal Protectors all left as if they didn't want to stay anymore for the interrogation, leaving only two unwilling Royal Protectors to stay along with the Emperor Kaiser Ethren as per his orders.

Davis grasped all he needed to mainly know from Algos Yantra, so he passed the baton; the opportunity to investigate to Havle Alstreim with a gesture before saying, "Algos Yantra, answer all the questions asked by this person over here, Havle Alstreim."

Havle Alstreim bowed once with clasped hands as a form of respect. He then took a few steps to the front before stopping to ask the will-less and muddle-headed soul body.

"What kind of status do you possess within the Flowing Mist Sect?

"An Elder..."

Havle Alstreim's gaze became solemn, "Does the higher ranking members within the Flowing Mist Sect know of your current plans within the Ethren Empire?"

"... Yes."

Havle Alstreim's eyes widened. 

It obviously meant that the Flowing Mist Sect has devious plans to implement in their Alstreim Family Territory!

He couldn't help but get deeply angered once again! 

But he knew that the Flowing Mist Sect was powerful than their Alstreim Family as they had three Ninth Stage Powerhouses, representing the three families within the sect!

Needless to say, all three of them were skilled in illusions!

If they came to attack, the Alstreim Family definitely wouldn't survive! The impending crisis rang alarm bells in Havle Alstreim's head. He wanted nothing more than to inform the situation to the Alstreim Family with a messaging talisman but calmed himself down as he needed to make sure.

After all, this could just be an individual's greed and not the entire will of the Flowing Mist Sect.

"Is this scheme of yours only known to the Yantra Family of your Flowing Mist Sect?"

Algos Yantra replied blankly after a moment, "... Yes." 

'No wonder...' Havle Alstreim instantly understood but at the same time, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, thinking that the entire Flowing Mist Sect didn't target them.

There was only a single Ninth Stage Powerhouse, their revered ancestor, guarding over the entire Alstreim Family! As long as it was just that one Yantra Family of the Flowing Mist Sect, they could still retaliate with fervor.

He had deep confidence in his ancestor that in a one-on-one battle, victory was definitely tipped to their side!

Even then, there were still many things he wasn't sure of and needed to know.

"What does your scheme entail for the Ethren Empire?"

"To plunder the resources of the Ethren Empire within a few decades, especially the Peak-Level Spirit Stone Mine located deep within one of the important areas of the third level." Algos Yantra replied with a dull voice.

Havle Alstreim did not have a change of expression, instead, he thought about the history of plundering and relocation of Spirit Stone Mines.

It is said that when the entire Fifty-Two Territories was a single, huge, unseparated landmass, the Spirit Stone Mines were spread out evenly all over the land and seas.

It was still the same when the single landmass was split into Fifty-Two Territories! Then came the miserable situation of the small territories...

Cultivators from the large territories started to plunder as they felt that the resources were spread out too much. They instinctively looked down on the other territories and started to plunder from them with heavy-handed methods.

They targeted both medium-sized territories and small-sized territories.

This influenced the medium-sized territories to plunder as well.

Spirit Stone Mines had sources that were none other than Spirit Stone Vein Source. They produced Spirit Stone Vein Fragments, which in turn produced a large quantity of Spirit Stones.

In the end, almost all the Peak-Level Spirit Stone Mines were relocated to the four large territories, leaving only a few within the small territories and a sizeable amount within the medium territories.

One such example was the Tripartite Alliance Territory, where the resources had mostly faded and become a barren land. Only a few High-Level Spirit Stone Mines were left. However, the worst-case that had happened in the Tripartite Alliance Territory is that its south side had been entirely turned into a scorching, hot desert wasteland.

Although Havle Alstreim became shortly taken in by this history as he lamented, he quickly came out of his reverie as he wanted to ask another question but he inclined his head when he felt undulations flare.

Emperor Kaiser Ethren appeared in his sight and his facial expression expressed his deep dissatisfaction over Algos Yantra's statement. He even had the urge to send an apocalyptic heatwave to scorch the other party to death, however, he just clenched his fists and didn't even move as to display a hint of making a move against Algos Yantra.

Havle Alstreim smiled blandly. He had many things to ask but the deeper he got, the more he wanted these people to disappear from the interrogation area.

"Emperor Kaiser Ethren, since I asked a few questions, I think it is your turn now. After you ask, you must all leave without making a fuss."

Emperor Kaiser Ethren became taken aback first before completely hearing Havle Alstreim's words. Only then did he display his dissatisfaction but still said, "Yes..."

He then took a few steps forward from the Royal Protectors behind him and asked, "Why did my second son, the Second Prince Keith Ethren choose to self-destruct?"

Davis sent a Soul Transmission to Algos Yantra to answer his words.

"... I made him swallow a conditional poison, so, when I threatened him to kill the Conferred Queen, he tried to kill me instead..."

Emperor Kaiser Ethren raised his brows but his eyes shone as he felt that he heard a good piece of news.

"Why?"

"... I don't know." Agos Yantra hoarsely replied.

"You don't?"

"... Yes."

Emperor Kaiser Ethren became taken aback before he smiled and clasped his hand towards the Conferred Queen's protector.

"Senior, as you can see, my second son did not want the Conferred Queen to be harmed. It could be seen that his intentions were just only attraction towards the Conferred Queen and embarrassingly enough, having the need to frame his third brother for some unknown purpose..."

"But with this Algos Yantra's words, it became clear that my second son rather tried to save the Conferred Queen instead!"
