Divine Emperor of Death-Chapter 1544: Aiding?

Davis still sat amidst the Alstreim Family cultivators.

He narrowed his eyes, thinking it was finally about time they showed up because it was already noon. As soon as the sun was almost about to set, Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow would say their vows towards heaven and earth and have the people who arrived witness their union.

"Is it going to be okay?"

Sophie worriedly uttered before Davis looked at her and soothed her.

"Don't worry. The defenses are already taken care of, and with me here, all of you are safe."

Sophie and the others smiled as their bodies relaxed.

Davis turned to look above, looking at the new nine powerhouses.

'One Mid-Level Law Rune Stage and Eight Low-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouses. Nope, they're not the danger...'

He was absolutely calm as he took a cup of juice and drank.

"Mhm~ Sweet Crimson Bloodlichi~"

He licked his lips and laughed.

Above the dome, Ancestor Dian Alstreim was just about to speak again when a voice interrupted.

"What is the meaning of this?"

Ancestor Tirea Snow's cold voice echoed in the skies.

The nine others looked as if they all expected her aggressive tone.

The white-robed, black-haired man from the Emperor Sword Sect, took a step forward and clasped his hands.

"Beauty Snow, we would like to make sure if you truly love this Dian Alstreim. If not and you are somehow being forced, then we'd like to aid you in breaking free from this tyrant."

"Ridiculous!"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim coldly spat out.

"We will find out if it is ridiculous or not."

Ulysses Claw bumped his fists into each other, creating a loud rumble that also indicated his Martial Overlord Stage prowess.

"Pretentious tiger, shut your mouth."

At this moment, an overbearing voice abruptly echoed, causing the expressions of Ulysses Claw and others to change. Ulysses Claw turned to look towards the source of the voice and saw four powerhouses.

"Are you from a magical beast empire? Do you want to get killed by coming here?"

Thorus Zlatan's voice echoed with utter contempt, leaving Ulysses Claw's expression to turn ugly from humiliation.

Thorus Zlatan scoffed as he pointed his hand at the nine powerhouses.

"It seems that you all forgot that we dragon families are part of the righteous sects. In case you can't understand, we can take the place of the Four Great Righteous Sects to protect the Nine Western Territories from people like you. What are you all here for, barging in this place when there's a wonderful wedding going on?"

Hearing Thorus Zlatan's speech, the others became speechless.

However, a man stepped forwards as he clasped his hands.

He possessed a similar face and features to Ulysses Claw as he possessed a tiger-like face and ears.

"Greetings, members of the Dragon Families. My name is Malus Claw."

Thorus Zlatan narrowed his eyes as he felt the undulations from the other party.

"And why is a Mid-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouse here? Did you not know that anyone above the bride's level while in the position of courting her can't challenge her decision to marry a man of her own volition because they are in a position of power?"

"Overlord Thorus Zlatan misunderstood me." Malus Claw shook his head, appearing to possess an amicable tone, "I am not here to court Beauty Snow, but I'm here to make sure that my son Ignatius Claw doesn't receive discrimination from courting Beauty Snow because he is from a fey power that I established. He is truly in love with Beauty Snow that I don't know what to do."

"Hmph!"

Thorus Zlatan harrumphed and shook his head, "That and who Beauty Snow marries isn't my problem. You can fight for your love. The righteous powers allow that but don't go injuring the innocents. As righteous powers, we won't tolerate that, will we?"

"Yes..."

A collective voice rang from the nine powerhouses.

"Good!"

Thorus Zlatan nodded with a casual smile, seemingly as if he was the bigger man present.

The people below had their eyes widen, and jaws go agape. Everyone in the Grand Wedding Hall could hear them speak.

Any one of them can see the influence of the Four Great Dragon Families from this one scene alone!

Previously, their younger generation had been overshadowed, and Davis seemingly had an advantage when talking to the powerhouses because of Dragon Queen Isabella, but looking at the other powers comply as if they had been fed submission pills, they didn't know what to say except hanging their mouths agape in disbelief.

Their image of the Dragon Families that was almost about to crack was reconstructed into a blemishless mirror again.

Davis blinked.

Why did this Thorus Zlatan help just now? With his character, wouldn't he have joined those powerhouses and denounced Ancestor Dian Alstreim?

Could it just be for purely restoring face?

He could see it happening, considering that they could be willing to recruit him and Isabella.

'Well, at least, they aren't short-sighted, but it's a pity that they'll never be able to recruit us.' Davis imagined.

"Get out!" Ancestor Dian Alstreim waved his hand and bellowed at this moment, "Mine and Tirea's intentions were already made clear a month ago. We announced our marriage by then, so why didn't I see anyone challenging me then? This isn't the time to challenge. This is the time you watch me marry her."

"Insolent!" Ancestor Gong Kim-Il took a step forward and harrumphed, "Everyone knows that you have the Illusory Yantra King Bell! What proof do you have to show that you have not put her in hypnosis!?"

"True, this fellow powerhouse from another Territory likely speaks the truth,"

Fierce Swordsmith Master nodded, his black robe and black hair tied in a ponytail, making him appear rather refined. He then continued without a pause.

"As far as I know, Ancestor Tirea Snow was very cold towards Ancestor Dian Alstreim's advances in the past thousand years since I was also someone who pursued Ancestor Tirea Snow. She never bothered to make time for him, nor have I heard a rumor of them secretly meeting each other until these few months."

"I can agree with that." Kain Bloodlife raised his hands, "My Twilight Physician Hall is a Territory away from the Falling Snow Sect, and I also never heard them coming together. This whole situation is suspicious if you ask me."

"A few months ago, Beauty Snow even made a move to kill Elizar Yantra while in a position of rivalry, which makes it all the more suspicious that she is either being fooled or forced, perhaps even controlled."

The gaze of the powerhouses all fell on Ancestor Dian Alstreim in suspicion. Even the Dragon Families' powerhouses looked at him in suspicion because they also found this marriage suspicious,

Beauty Snow was just too beautiful.

If she wanted to marry, why not someone from the Mid-Sized Territories or the Large-Sized Territories? With all the men out there, she chose a powerhouse who was famous for being passive and in decline in a Small-Sized Territory?

They just couldn't understand.

On the other hand, Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow were dumbfounded, looking at them come up with all sorts of reasons to doubt their love. The latter was more frustrated, thinking why they were saying all this even after she had declared her love for Dian Alstreim.

"Are you all fools!?"

At this moment, a cold voice echoed.

Everyone turned to look at Mystic Ice Sect's Sect Master Bing Luli. She pointed at Ancestor Tirea Snow and asked.

"How can Ancestor Tirea Snow be controlled when she is a Soul King!?"

The eyes of a few powerhouses shook at this moment.

A Soul King!?

However, a few others seemed to be fairly in the know but still refusing to acknowledge the fact that Ancestor Tirea Snow wasn't controlled.

Ancestor Tirea Snow came out of her reverie and lightly undulated her soul force, which instantly made them understand that she had become a Soul King.

Suddenly, their whole story appeared to be faked, dismantling their opinions and ruining their narrative when a voice suddenly echoed.

"Beauty Snow had only recently become a Soul King. Perhaps, it was after Dian Alstreim gained control of her, so she still hasn't come out of her trance?" Ancestor Gong Hyun-Ki spoke as he rubbed his beard.

"That's right...!" Ignatius Claw pointed at him and bellowed.

"Entirely possible...!"

The other powerhouses all echoed.

"You...!?"

Sect Master Bing Luli's fists trembled.

Did these people take her for a fool, or did they turn retarded?

Nevertheless, calming down, she felt they had a point.

The Illusory Yantra King Bell was a High-Level Emperor Grade Artifact. If used by the right hands, it could turn into a deadly illusion-type weapon.

There was no reason to think otherwise.

*Clang!~*

Abruptly, a large bell appeared between them out of nowhere, seemingly covered by a mist that hid most of its features.

Everyone staggered back as if there was a battle that was going to ensue, but then a voice echoed out, causing them to stop.

"I'm willing to destroy this damned bell to prove to the world that I'm not controlling Tirea, but someone should pay for this treasure's destruction, right?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim took out the Illusory Yantra King Bell, his expression adopting a mocking sneer.
