Chapter 3857 Encounter With The Heavenly Blight Hall
"Rokushi Mirai, what are you doing?"
"That is the Heaven's Warrior, whom we need to assassinate no matter the cost. We can't let her leave."
Abruptly, two black-robed assassins appeared beside her as they questioned and demanded.
It made her eyes frown as she glanced at them.
"Are you people senseless? That's a Level Three Autarch whose prowess is three levels higher, allowing him to barely battle Late Stage Autarchs. We can't defeat him, much less assassinate him or assassinate that master of the Transcendent Truth Eyes while he's guarding her, even going as far as to burn his blood essence. You should be thankful he left. Or if you want me to kill them both, bring Mid Stage Autarch assassins under my command. Otherwise, shut up."
"You-"
One of the assassins sounded angry beyond compare as he raised his dagger.
"We need to relocate or leave the realm as fast as possible. But before that, you people should be able to use him as a bargaining tool."
Rokushi Mirai uttered solemnly before she returned her gaze to Davis.
"I ask you once again. Who are you? The Autarch kept shielding that woman, but she seemed to want to get out to save you. You are not a mere servant, judging by how that woman worried for you, right?"
"Oh?"
One of the assassins finally looked intrigued as he turned his attention to Davis.
Anything that could be used as bait must be used. That was one of the key principles of assassination. It didn't matter whether it made the opponent weaker or stronger but the momentary lapse of judgment caused by the presence of the bait will allow them to strike a death blow.
"…"
Davis remained silent before he lightly chuckled.
"Right now, my mood isn't the best."
He was thinking about a lot of things.
He had separated from Clara and Xiaolan. He was pissed, but strangely enough, he wasn't worried. That Heaven's Warrior Autarch realized his foolishness and used everything in his power to bring out Clara, even going as far as to burn his precious blood essence.
He didn't even stop for the falling servant, whom Clara was worried about, prioritizing her safety over her wants. Prioritizing her life over his own. That made him feel like Clara was in a safe place.
However, she quickly steadied herself, taking a deep breath as she looked at the black-white stone in her hand.
"Is this why you revealed yourself?"
"Correct answer."
Davis raised his chin, adopting a condescending attitude as he ascended to the skies.
In fact, Davis revealed himself for another reason as well. He wanted to make connections with Heavenly Blight Hall. However, this was only possible if they dropped the matter of killing Clara. On the other hand, he wasn't worried that Autarch Yulan Nazarin would return.
That was impossible considering he would prioritize Clara's life over anything else considering he couldn't stop repeating how it was an honor to serve her. Someone as obstinate as a Heaven's Warrior couldn't fake this kind of reverence.
"Divine Emperor of Death."
Abruptly, the assassin who was going to use him as bait cupped his hands.
"Our higher ups said that finding you was of the highest priority other than hunting down the master of the Transcendent Truth Eyes."
"Why?" Davis's gaze flickered, "You want my treasures like I want hers?"
"No, the Heavenly Blight Hall is a united front of a few Divergents training people like us to go against the Heaven's Warriors. We don't target anyone else other than Heaven's Warriors, and upon hearing your legend, we would like to sincerely invite you. We have also invited Rokushi Mirai, and she accepted."
'I see. The Gilded Realm Ascendant Pill is hiding her divergent aura…'
Davis shot a glance at Rokushi Mirai before looking at that assassin.
"Then bring your higher ups. I won't join until I speak to someone who holds actual authority within the Heavenly Blight Hall."
"As you demand."
Davis waved his hand, causing the assassin to sound delighted. Perhaps he might gain some contribution points for finding the Divine Emperor of Death, but Davis wondered what kind of right a slave had. Perhaps they were not slaves but were disciples who had heavy restrictions.
Then again, he didn't know why they would dare to go against Heaven's Warriors.
'Could it be that they're victims of the ignorant pursuit of justice by Heaven's Warriors?'
Davis wondered.
Love made one blind, but justice was practically blind. It didn't see one's circumstances and imposed a hefty consequence, even if it meant taking down everything in its path. These people could be collateral damage that people didn't care about because, ultimately, the Heaven's Warriors eradicated evil.
