Great Ancestor Zenme saw the de falling down on his neck from the corner of his eyes. He could see his end approach like the dark, but there was nothing he could do about it as his cultivation was sealed. Unless he used his blood essence, he couldn''t see how he could break the forcible suppression imposed by this execution tform, but even if he did burn the blood essence, it was already toote to perform a defensive maneuver.


    His defensive talismans were taken from him as well.


    The sharp de was already on his neck, carving through his nape as blood spurted ever so lightly.


    Great Ancestor Zenme pursed his lips, knowing that this would happen as he felt the cold chill seep through his spine. Closing his eyes, he awaited his death.


    However, even after two seconds, he didn''t die, causing him to blink as he saw that his head wasn''t rolling around either. Finally, he turned his head towards a white-robed man who grasped the Peak Immortal King''s arm with his hand, stopping him from beheading him.


    "Inheritor!"


    The Peak Stage Immortal King roared, appearing to be full of rage and emotion, causing Davion Jadelight to sigh.


    "Don''t be so quick to kill off our hostages. Besides, even if we can kill them, you''re not the one here making decisions. Didn''t you hear the Patriarch''s words? Release them."


    "…!"


    The executioner trembled. He had lost his brother in this war, so what he heard wasn''t very appreciative but even piercing to his heart. He red at Davion Jadelight, who stopped him before lowering his head, removing the de that wasn''t able to proceed any further.


    Immortal Inheritor Davion Jadelight was too strong for him.


    Shortly, the Fire Phoenix n''s immortal inheritors were released from their binds. They were no longer just disying their heads, waiting to be beheaded.


    Hirona and Sierra red at the executioner.


    However, Great Ancestor Zenme was indifferent to the fact that he almost died. After all, he retained the phoenix soul essence he was bestowed with and would revive upon death.


    That was how far he knew that their hatred had advanced.


    "If you want to kill them now, go ahead. I won''t stop you."


    However, Davion Jadelight added, causing the executioner to clench his teeth.


    How under the heavens would he be able to defeat the founder of the Zenme Family in a battle? That was overestimating himself.


    "Come, I won''t dodge nor block your de if that''s what will soothe the people of the Starlight Jade Wolf n."


    But suddenly, Great Ancestor Zenme pointed to this neck again, causing the Starlight Jade Wolf n''s people to be shocked. They thought he was being arrogant as soon as he was released but looking at his aura that became reserved instead of ring, they couldn''t believe it. He was defenseless at this moment, making them not able to understand.


    Who the heck was this deviant immortal inheritor who didn''t care about his life!?


    Great Ancestor Zenme looked as indifferent as ever.


    In fact, he was prepared to die as a show of faith, wasting his ability to revive to get the Starlight Jade Wolf n to trust him. So having his life spared was a plus to him at this point. But of course, he wasn''t a fool to die a second time. He was prepared to fight with all his power, killing his way out.


    But a life was still a life.


    No one would dare to waste it even if they had two lives, so Great Ancestor Zenme''s actions left the Starlight Jade Wolf n speechless.


    "Hmph!"


    The executioner harrumphed, turning around and leaving as though he was no longer willing to stay there.


    His actions brought forth a minor amount of discontent among the people of the Starlight Jade Wolf n, not because the executioner disobeyed the King but because they also wanted to see a head fall.


    But looking at the brazen, or perhaps, fearless Fire Phoenix n''s immortal inheritor who was willing to make amends for his death, they felt more embarrassed than ever. Besides, they weren''t the ones who captured them as they had basically presented themselves on a tter to them, so it felt all the more wrong to kill them with their valiant nature.


    Seeing that the Starlight Jade Wolf n''s people finally stopped trying to kill him, Great Ancestor Zenme dropped his hand.


    Davis was also finished soul-scouring Great General Dural. Thetter had woken out of his reverie, looking at the Emperor of Death with shock as he hadn''t turned retarded yet. His heart pounded in apprehension, fear taking root in his heart as he came to understand that there was no way he could escape from the terrifying grasp of death.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    He could only submit to it but-


    "No!"


    *Puchi!~*


    The executioner''s de fell on Great General Dural, causing him to turn into a giant cyan soul rat that pushed away everyone in the vicinity. Copious amounts of blood flowed out from the rat''s neck and head. However, they didn''t seem to mind but even enjoyed this scene as they felt their hearts being soothed.


    On the battlefield, the Cyan Soul Rat n was the most annoying and frustrating opponent to have as theyunched soul attacks from a distance, nevering close enough to give them a chance to strike back.


    They made some Generals mad, causing them to make a mistake and die, so their fury knew no bounds against the Cyan Soul Rat n, especially when they already had enmity with them.


    Davis nodded at the executioner. He knew the other party was not the same executioner who tried to behead Great Ancestor Zenme as he was indeed watching, even having the luxury to steer his focus elsewhere while soul-scouring.


    Nheless, he panned his gaze and looked at the Starlight Jade Wolf n''s people. He could feel their sorrow reveling amidst their suppressed rage, but he had no words of constion to offer them. Could he help them? Yes.


    Could he revive Ancestor Riyard? Probably, yes.


    Could he turn back the deaths of thousands of Immortal King soldiers and generals of the Starlight Jade Wolf n? It was not possible since most of their soul essence had faded away, leaving him only the ability to revive the ones who had died very recently.


    However, he wasn''t going to revive anyone as it would only put him in a quagmire of danger, not to mention whomever he revived has a chance to flip their fates as they got revived by an Anarchic Divergent. Although he felt immense gratitude to the Starlight Jade Wolf n, he didn''t know these people personally for him to be restless with their deaths.


    Instead, all he felt was the gratitude he held toward the Starlight Jade Wolf n, but most importantly, his friendly bond with Patriarch Fenren Jadelight, increase. Without Patriarch Fenren Jadelight leading the Starlight Jade Wolf n to defend him, none of this would be possible.


    Therefore, he felt an immense amount of guilt as he was toote to stop them from dying for him.


    "Brother Fenren, I -"


    "What did you learn from him?"


    Davis pursed his lips as he was quickly cut off by the Starlight Jade Wolf King, causing him to purse his lips before he nodded.


    "Naturally, this war was started by the Fire Phoenix n as we expected but seemed to have been emboldened by the presence of Venerable Warrior Zermatt. Each Great General and Patriarch who took part in this battle seemed to know about his presence, assuming that he would be able to get rid of the menace, which is me, even if they failed to do so."


    "Haha~" Patriarch Fenren Jadelight couldn''t help but chuckle but maintained an inquisitive expression.


    "That''s all?"


    "Well, the Fire Phoenix n and Cyan Soul Rat n also seemed to empty their coffers to hire assassins to assassinate your people, including mine, but since my people are safe in the Aurora Cloud Gate that had entered a state of security, it is almost impossible to intrude."


    "That''s good. As for the assassins, I had the unexpected help from the Ghost Tear Hall because of you, so I guess we''re even."


    Patriarch Fenren Jadelight nodded, but Davis was no longer able to remain silent about this war.


    "Brother Fenren, I apologize for the disastrous trouble I have caused to your n. Was it even worth going that far for me…?"


    Hearing Davis''s words, Patriarch Fenren Jadelight''s eyes narrowed.


    "Are you making a mockery of our brotherhood?"


    Davis shook his head, "I''m not. Regardless, do you not feel pained to lose so many people? Do you not want to punch me in the face?"


    "I want to! I want to kick your ass for appearing sote!" Roared the Starlight Jade Wolf King, "If only you hade a day sooner, I would''ve been able to keep my people from dying, but if you didn''t show up, it would be even worse, but still my fault for believing you, so what are you apologizing for? Do you want to strain our manly bond with these redundant questions when we made our decisions to have each other''s backs!?"


    "…!"


    Davis''s gaze shook.
