Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1543 Nine Troubles



The Grand Wedding Hall became a bit noisy with murmurs and hushed tones.

The Ancestors of the Thousand Pill Palace, Twilight Physician Hall, and Vital Tempering Sect had their expressions twitch before the former stood and walked towards the bride and the groom.

"Congratulations to Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow. I perceive the Alstreim Family and the Falling Snow Sect would have a bright future."

"Thank you."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim smiled at the Thousand Pill Palace's Krane Parazen and looked at the jade container that was taken out. He took it and opened it when a rich fire-attribute aroma spread instantly, making him feel like his fire was rejuvenated but just a bit.

Looking at the crimson pill gleaming with a purple sheen, he couldn't help but raise his brows.

"Ah, isn't this the Fivefold Serene Incense Pill that helps one expand their fire-attribute sea fivefold by increasing one's Fire Law Intent increase during the breakthrough?"

"Indeed, by bestowing insights from the many main ingredients it has amalgamated from, it increases the chances of establishing an Expansive Sea by thirty percent and establishing an Abundant Sea by five percent for average Law Sea Stage Cultivators. I thought it would be beneficial for the growth of the Alstreim Family and brought it as a present."

"It's great."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim nodded. Usually, this would have sufficed, but then after Mystic Ice Sect's luxurious gift, it paled in comparison. Nevertheless, he didn't go out of his way to make Ancestor Krane Parazen feel bad.

The Thousand Pill Palace remained a neutral party throughout the battles and even gifted a Law Tree Fruit to them because Davis won, which more than compensated for such trivialities.

"Glad you liked it."

Ancestor Krane Parazen smiled and returned to his seat.

Next, everyone's gaze fell on the Vital Tempering Sect and Twilight Physician Hall.

The Vital Tempering Sect's Ancestor Gong Kim-Il stood up and arrived before Ancestor Dian Alstreim.

"Congratulations."

He forced a smirk and reluctantly handed over the gift.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim opened the jade container designed with a unique fire pattern and saw a tail leaf with a bright orange vein spreading throughout it. He had no idea what it was before he heard Ancestor Gong Kim-Il speak.

"This is an Ascending Sunrise Tail Leaf that contains yang energy, a perfect supplement for Law Sea Experts who practice Fire Laws to complement their laws with Yang Laws, thereby increasing their prowess depending on their comprehension talent."

"It's valued at Low-Level Emperor Grade at best. So stingy, but I'll accept it regardless..."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim laughed and closed the jade container. He threw it towards the place where the other gifts were placed, making Ancestor Gong Kim-Il clench his fists in anger, but he didn't say anything and turned around with a harrumph.

No one laughed, yet they could be seen snickering silently.

Next, Ancestor Kain Bloodlife stood up and flew towards Ancestor Dian Alstreim.

"Congratulations."

He spoke with a bland tone and gifted a jade container to the groom.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim stared at him and left the jade container hanging for some time before he took it. It made Ancestor Krane Bloodlife narrow his eyes as he could feel the sneers from the audience.

Nevertheless, when Ancestor Dian Alstreim opened it, he widened his eyes.

"Isn't this the Immaculate Blood Tree Fruit that increases even the vitality of Martial Sage Experts and, as a result, increases the lifespan by a thousand years? Although its grade is low, its value could almost reach High-Level Emperor Grade due to its scarcity. Great!"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim smirked as he accepted the gift.

Ancestor Kain Bloodlife smirked in proudness before he turned around and left.

Ancestor Gong Kim-Il's expression twisted as he suddenly received all the mocking to himself.

Didn't Ancestor Kain Bloodlife also prepare a Low-Level Emperor Grade Treasure? Why did it change?

He hatefully looked at Ancestor Kain Bloodlife and saw him shake his head as if he had no choice but to do so.

In truth, Ancestor Kain Bloodlife was inwardly crying. He had actually changed the gifts at the last moment from the one prepared beforehand. It was intended to humiliate Ancestor Dian Alstreim, but he could not do something like that after the battle exchange because it would humiliate him instead.

As a result, he could only gift something better and valuable like the Immaculate Blood Tree Fruit.

The banquet was still ongoing, but the gifting session was over. Even though the latter was over, the disciples of the Vital Tempering Sect felt their faces burn as they could hear their power being mocked.

Usually, they would've yelled at them, but after their conviction, Top Disciple Gong Kim-Jin lost like a lamb being slaughtered by a demon to Sophie Alstreim; they could only suppress their voices.

Kim-Jin also felt that coming here was a mistake with the intent to suppress and humiliate the Alstreim Family. But he could only make do with their own actions and eat the consequences.

Ancestor Gong Hyun-Ki's expression increasingly trembled from the ceaseless murmurs. Due to his powerful Body Tempering Cultivation, he could hear the whispers like they were being whispered into his ears. He wanted to shut off his physical sense, but why should he?

He wanted to kill everyone to make their mouths shut up, but how could he?

Suddenly, his expression calmed while a smirk appeared on his face.

While Ancestor Gong Kim-Il was feeling the same or more amount of humiliation as Ancestor Gong Hyun-Ki felt, he suddenly noticed undulations flaring like a sea tide washing against them that he couldn't help but take a cold breath as an imperceptible smirk appeared on his face.

*Bzzzz!~*

"Dian Alstreim, we have come to challenge and question the authenticity of this marriage!~"

An overbearing voice echoed from the outside, causing the people to stagger from the tremor it caused in their hearts. Their pupils shook, unable to believe that this marriage invited the aggression of such powerhouses!

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's expression was already irritated because he received reports on powerhouses entering through the Territory Gates just a while ago. Now, they were already here, looking for trouble.

Without even being invited, they barged into his Grand Alstreim City and arrived here.

Everyone swiveled their heads to look towards the ceiling.

In the air, they could see one, two, three... nine powerhouses!

Ancestor Dian Alstreim saw Klein Swordhand along with his master, Fierce Swordsmith Master. They both were from the Weapon Refining Villa.

Not only them, but there were also numerous other powerhouses from other powers he recognized and didn't recognize.

The human and the fey from the White-Winged Tiger Empire Territory, Ignatius Claw, and Ulysses Claw. However, behind the two of them stood another powerful powerhouse. From the facial features, he appeared to be a fey similar to Ulysses Claw and Ignatius Claw, so who could it be other than their father!?

Lastly, there were four more powerhouses, one of them seemed to wear a white robe, but the symbol on his arm sleeves made Dian Alstreim deeply astonished.

A Powerhouse from the Emperor Sword Sect!?

As for the other three, he had no idea, but Ancestor Tirea Snow sent him a soul transmission the next second, telling him that they were from the Dual Lotus Manor Territory and had once tried to court her long back.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim wasn't surprised. The number of people who might have proposed to his Tirea Snow would probably be in the hundreds, and yes, he was speaking about powerhouses. Even if they don't come in person to propose, they might send a letter or two to know her preferences and attitude towards them.

Those were also taken as confessions, more or less.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim expected more than ten powerhouses to show up, but nine was not a bad number as well.

'Looks like Elizar Yantra getting caught made those powerhouses think otherwise...'

He inwardly sneered and stood up.

"Leave. You are all not invited to my marriage ceremony."

"Not invited?"

Klein Swordhand smirked as he laughed.

"That's fine. We'll invite ourselves in..."

"That's right." Ulysses Claw lifted up his tiger-like hand and waved, "Do you want to open the dome's barrier, or should we enter by breaking it? I'll leave it to your choice then..."

"Hmph!"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim coldly harrumphed.

They could've come from the main entrance, but they decided to descend from the dome, forcing him to take off the barrier. If he did that, he would've already lost face by then.

His body began to ascend, followed by Ancestor Tirea Snow.

The barrier was taken off, but instead of those nine powerhouses descending, Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow came out from the Grand Wedding Hall.

Mystic Ice Sect's Sect Master Bing Luli also took to the skies, and as if spurred by her, every powerhouse present in the Grand Wedding Hall took to the skies.

The dome's barrier then closed, leaving the powerhouses to stare at each other while an intense and oppressive atmosphere spread throughout the Grand Wedding Hall, causing them to hold their breaths in trepidation.
