<h4>Chapter 1872: Compensate With?</h4>


    The Mandate Emperor and the other three emperors half-stood by now, looking at the ensuing spectacle that seemed to be on the verge of bing hostile. However, they didn’t leave their seats, nor did they want to unless fully required. However, they all had his one doubt that they didn’t ask each other but could only wonder.


    ‘What was that…!?’


    Was that soul force that pped the Venerated Twilight Pill Emperor? Even sending all his teeth flying as they punctured the Peak-Level Emperor Grade Ore they built the battle arena with?


    If that’s the case, why couldn’t they sense Davis’s soul force!?


    Blood seeped from Venerated Twilight Pill Emperor’s mouth in copious amounts as all his gums bled. He couldn’t believe that a mere p using soul force had struck all the teeth from his mouth when he was also a Peak-Level Martial Overlord Stage Powerhouse!


    Although he had gotten to this point by using pills as most alchemists would, it still made a ton of difference for him to be not beaten to a pulp at this level.


    Humiliation became prevalent in his heart and soul. Nevertheless, he had to swiftly cover his mouth to save whatever face he could, but it was to no avail as blood kept leaking out of his fingers, making him aughing stock, but no one dared tough as the atmosphere was eerily silent!


    Dal Leehan’s expression was nk.


    What just happened? Like many people, she still failed toprehend before btedly realizing it!


    Did she just implicate her Thousand Pill Pce by wanting to merely live the life she wanted? There was no way their Thousand Pill Pce was going to be able to leave scot-free from the humiliation Davis cast on them because of her!


    On the other hand, Davis still remained silent.


    He had never forced anyone to call his title before. However, with the Venerated Twilight Emperor Pill, he was extremely pissed off by the superior attitude the old fart was showing off without a stop, portraying himself as though he had the bigger strength and moral high ground.


    It was fine as this old fart made sense, but when he tried to twist the narrative, Davis was no longer willing to be reasonable about this matter.


    “Emperor of Death… what is the meaning of this?”


    The Venerated Sunrise Pill Emperor trembled as he asked, pointing at the other Grand Pill Emperor. Evidently, he was afraid, which he didn’t reveal before while acting as cool as a rock, asking people what was going on as though he was going to resolve it like a big man.


    Davis’s expression went from cold to one ofposure.


    “I already told you, people. Don’t waste my time, and don’t try to force the narrative while ying the victim. I don’t know what kind of deal you people made with the Thousand Pill Pce, but I’m helping Dal Leehan settle the debt she owes you all. Take it or prepare to face the consequences of forcing an unwilling woman, which you all saw what happened when they tried to force my Isabe.”


    “…!”


    Everyone became shocked to hear the tant threat. Even thepetition wasn’t continuing anymore,ing to a momentary halt even though the next participants were already called out, but people didn’t pay attention enough to know who it was.


    Besides Davis, Dal Leehan finally turned to look at his face, bing able to see his side profile.


    Just his staunch figure that supported her gave her immense courage, but his words that still believed in her without having any doubts whatsoever made tears well up in her eyes, making them misty. She clenched her fists, wondering what she wouldn’t give just to run and hug him from tightly behind, wanting to never let go.


    Nora appeared beside her and gripped her shoulder, causing her to rx. She then slowly walked forwards and sped her hands, slightly bowing.


    “Elders. Please forgive my selfish behavior. I’ve ruined the reputation of my sect and even the Glorious Pill Pce, knowing full well the consequences of my actions before and even now. However, I finally realized that I don’t want this live kind of life, and so, I’d rather live disgracefully than suffer in silence.”


    “Little girl, your insolence knows no bounds.”


    The Venerable Sunrise Pill Emperor looked incensed as he pointed at her, “Look at what you caused. This harm you caused us can no longer be taken back!”


    Dal Leehan’s body shook. When she saw the expression of her sect members looking at her angrily, she knew that she had be the sinner of the Thousand Pill Pce.


    But why?


    She was perfectly aware that the chances of getting together with Davis were extremely slim. All she wanted was out of this marriage agreement as she couldn’t keep one man in her heart and be with the other. But for that harmless thought, things had regressed to this point.


    Biting her lips, Dal Leehan held back her tears from falling before her lips moved.


    “I can’tpensate with my life, but I’ll cripple my Essence Gathering Cultivation as a form of atonement. Once again, I ask you all that you let me live my life as I please.”


    “…!?”


    Dal Leehan’s words made people shocked. Was she going to cripple herself to show sincerity?


    However…


    “Do you think you’re honestly worth anything at all? Your entire existence only ended up bringing us disgrace. You should rightfullymit suicide for the sins you havemitted.”


    Suddenly, an old Ancestor of the Thousand Pill Pce angrily berated Dal Leehan, causing her to tremble even more.


    Davis’s eyes were narrowed. He turned to look at Dal Leehan and saw that this pitiful woman couldn’t hold on anymore that he couldn’t help but imagine what kind of pressure and internal conflict she was going through. He had only activated his Heart Intent for a single moment, but even that was heart-wrenchingly heavy.


    All he could see was that she was a responsible woman trying to meet her power’s expectations but finally chose to live her own life in the end.


    He turned his gaze around and looked at the hostile and enraged air of the Thousand Pill Pce and the Glorious Pill Pce people, wanting to make a move when suddenly a hurried and worried voice fell in his head.


    “Davis. It was I who put her up to this. Would you please help her? I will do anything for you.”


    Davis turned to look at Nora, his second mother, with raised brows.


    “Anything…?”


    Nora trembled as she heard his solemn voice. However, recalling the moment she had that talk with Logan and ire, she wholeheartedly nodded her head.


    “Anything.”


    “Excellent.” Davis almost chuckled, “Always make sure my mother’s happinesses above yours.”


    “…?”


    Nora blinked, bing astonished before she couldn’t help but genuinely smile at his demand.


    “I will.” She heavily nodded her head.


    ‘In fact, I think I’m already doing that as part of redeeming the wrongs my subordinate did against her. Besides, I owe you the most for giving us a way out, bringing back my family from the dead and even my little sister. I think I won’t ever be able toe out of this debt at this rate that I’ll value ire’s happiness over mine any day…’


    Nora thought with the uttermost gratitude she could swell with.


    “Hmph! My Glorious Pill Pce’s great history is important than my own life. How can your mere cultivation that ruined our reputation atone for it!?”


    Venerated Sunrise Pill Emperor also added, along with a plethora of others wanting to guilt-trip Dal Leehan into killing herself, that Davis felt that this was enough.


    “Stop bullying a little girl and pick someone your own strength, old foggies.”


    His cold voice and invisible pressure instantly caused a shadow to form in their hearts that they quickly shut up, afraid that they would be killed unknowingly.


    “Dal, you don’t need to cripple yourself.”


    Davis pivoted his head to look at Dal Leehan and spoke, causing her to turn to look at him.


    “No… this isn’t something that can’t be resolved with just wealth…”


    However, she shook her head, seemingly having an overall understanding of the situation despite being subject to scrutiny from millions of people.


    “Indeed, going against your own words simply because you don’t want to anymore is wrong. If you’re weak, you will end up dying as a result since you ended up destroying someone else’s reputation, and consequently, no one would care.” Davis nodded his head, “However, you’re in luck since your friend wants to save you.”


    Dal Leehan appeared dumbfounded as she gazed at him turn and look towards the others.


    “This is thest time I’m going to ask. Name a price or die.”


    The entire Glorious Pill Pce looked incensed as though they couldn’t believe Davis’s audacity. It was as though they forgot what kind of person he was, appearing to be on the verge of warring with him.


    Everyone couldn’t help wonder if their reputation was worth that much when suddenly, a sigh echoed.


    “Alright.”


    The Venerable Twilight Pill Emperor, who had his teeth broken, closed his mouth with his palm and spoke.


    “Present us fifty Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Cores, and we’ll let her off the deal and also erase that part from the Blood Soul Contract binding Ancestor Krane Parazen.”


    Davis’s brows raised while the millions of people practically lost their footing while being seated.


    Fifty… Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources?


    Dal Leehan wasn’t even worth half that and even less since she became strong on borrowed resources! How could the Glorious Pill Pce demand so much!?
