Chapter 5136: Insidious Deathly Vortex Eyes |
"Then... so why are you here to assassinate me?"
While starting to heal the Ghost Tear Hall’s Founder and informing Evelynn that there was no need to panic, Davis asked casually.
He had already predicted that there was a high likelihood this strange person with the resonating treasure would appear before him as if it were written in fate. It was just his luck. It would be either disastrous or fortune for him, and it turned out it could’ve been both, with him having gained the white stone replica but also killed his benefactor and probably making an enemy out of the current Ghost Tear Hall.
"Ask your rivals. My Ghost Tear Hall doesn’t differentiate between the targets."
Davis nodded, but paused, "Seriously? Assassinating the City Lord while being chased by a monster? Is there really a need for you to remain here while even the Supreme One is chasing you? Why didn’t you leave the realm or go into hiding?"
The Ghost Tear Hall’s Founder trembled, his soul pulsating with excitement as ripples appeared on his spectral body.
"It had been truly exhilarating than ever after a long time..."
Davis raised his brow, "Truly a deathseeker like master."
Even back in the First Haven World, Master Deathseeker dared to face the Accursed Warlock with nearly zero fear. He highly respected that mad master of his.
The Ghost Tear Hall’s Founder calmed a bit before turning to look at Davis with a solemn expression, "The Supreme One might soon visit here too after finding my traces... What are you going to do? Your disguises won’t work."
"Haha..." Davis chuckled, refusing to answer.
Instead, he turned to look at Jillian Hayden.
Her fate was repeatedly being pushed into scenarios where she was dying or fainting while his- no, the City Lord’s fate was being repeatedly harassed by Heaven’s Warriors and finally assassinated?
Davis felt his patience was continually being tested.
He thanked his reason for holding himself back from slapping Venerable Knight Lussandra. However, the Celestial Transcendent was different. There was only one outcome if he faced him.
Death!
Escaping was the only option.
However, Davis was also exhilarated.
He was being bombarded by two thoughts at the same time.
’Take the fight! You even have the white stone replica now, which increased your chances of surviving. Fuse it. It’d be even more amazing!’
’No, the mission comes first. You have your people to protect. The fight is inevitable, but at least you might get the job done!’
He found it hard to suppress both thoughts and could only wait until the inevitable knock on the door to make the ultimate decision to fight or flee.
Nonetheless, with the Ghost Tear Hall’s Founder still staring at him, Davis said nonchalantly, "It’s fine. Let him come. I look forward to our meeting when it becomes inevitable. Until then, I’ll delay it for as long as possible."
He had promised Fairy Divinacia three days. He couldn’t possibly die here and abandon her.
"Then what are you doing instead of fleeing?"
"Healing you."
"..." Hearing this, the Ghost Tear Hall’s Founder trembled, his expression angry.
"You’re making a severe mistake not once but twice."
"Ridiculous." Davis scoffed openly at him, "You left your treasure legacy artifact for your successor- your next incarnation. Don’t pull that nonsense with me. Haven’t you heard of my comprehension in Enigmatic Heart Laws? As a ghost, you really think you deserve to live less instead of your next incarnation, especially the current incarnation that came this far, huh?"
"..." The Ghost Tear Hall Founder’s expression changed, "Brat, where’s your respect for your hall’s founder?"
"Hehe, my targets of respect are targets meant to be surpassed."
"Deathseeker must be suffering to have a disciple like you!"
Davis laughed silently, shaking his head, "Ah, no, he’s too happy to have a family right now and is certainly content with his life for the most part. After all, I helped heal his bodily constitution and got rid of the problems arising from cultivating death attribute, helping him have children. His first son is also talented."
The Ghost Tear Hall’s Founder paused briefly, his furious expression fading.
After a while, he asked doubtfully, "You’re also a talented physician?"
"You could say that. But with this kind of reaction, you’re making me curious. You didn’t have any children?"
"No, we cannot have children. Precisely, ’we’ are unable to have children. My Insidious Deathly Vortex Eyes is a death-curse attributed physique. I thought that after I left and didn’t allow the physique to return to the next incarnation, he could have children, but it seemed like all my incarnations were still plagued by the curse karmically. I didn’t expect... that you could actually change it."
"...!?" Davis was shocked.
If the Ghost Tear Hall’s Founder couldn’t sire children, then where was hid descendants? He thought Deathseeker must’ve been born from his line of descendants, but it didn’t seem like the case.
Could it be a case of birthing from heaven and earth, similar to what happened for Myria?
But he didn’t think so. Hearing that the ocular soul physique was accursed, he felt that it was more likely that some kind of bloodline was ill-fated to repeat this rebirth of Ghost Tear Hall’s Founder every nine hundred years or so.
Nonetheless, Davis shook his head.
"There was no karmic curse on Deathseeker when it came to virility. It was just the death-attributed cultivation manual you created, Ghost Withering Tome, was trash."
"You-!?" The Ghost Tear Hall’s Founder was dumbfounded as he pointed at him.
"Don’t get me wrong." Davis shook his head with a laugh, "The Ghost Withering Tome is a supreme cultivation manual for the death attribute, but compared to what my Saintess Myria created, Unfettered Earthly Reincarnation Scripture, it doesn’t hold a candle."
"..." The Ghost Tear Hall’s Founder held his breath.
Just hearing the name of the manual evoked many kinds of grandiose emotions in him.
"Fiend Myria... I have heard of her..." He said as he released a sigh.
"Indeed."
Davis nodded with pride, "You could say that the Inspirited Truesoul Reanimation Technique is partly also her work, although ninety percent of the credit goes to her younger sister."
"Then I won’t hesitate any longer."
The Ghost Tear Hall’s Founder finally made the decision to practice the Inspirited Truesoul Reanimation Technique. He had already read through the jade slip a few more times while chatting before sitting in a lotus position.
The Truesoul and Godskull of the Ghost Tear Hall’s Founder had quivered, appearing to be on the brink of collapse, but with the life energy mixing into the fray and acting like a conduit, the Truesoul stopped dispersing while the Godskull also supported the Truesoul from collapsing.
With the activation of the Inspirited Truesoul Reanimation Technique, the Truesoul showed signs of being stabilized.
