Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2140: Not Yet

Chapter 2140: Not Yet


Schleya witnessed the Villa Master appear with a handsome smile on his pale face. Like the Young Villa Master, the Villa Master also had pale features, seemingly sick yet not. In fact, the undulations radiating from the Villa Master caused Schleya to raise her brows a bit in astonishment, not having expected the Villa Master to have entered the Peak-Level Law Rune Stage.


"Schleya Vitalichor, it"s been a long time since we met. Don"t you think?"


"Yes." Schleya somberly replied, "Long enough to have my hands itching to swing my blade towards your… grandson."


*Puchi!~*


Schleya cleanly swiped her curved blade at the Young Villa Master"s head after a protective talisman shattered, causing the expression of many people to change as they saw ahead fly a meter away and hit the ground, splas.h.i.+ng some blood while the neck burst with blood like a crimson fountain.


"It"s over… Young Villa Mistress is not going to come back..."


Someone in the crowd uttered as they witnessed the Young Villa Master"s corpse fall.


Their Young Villa Master, who was close to entering the Law Rune Stage but possessed a prowess equaling Low-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouses, had dropped dead.


However, they didn"t notice that the Villa Master seemingly smiled without any hint of hostility whatsoever. In fact, Schleya"s actions seemed to be amusing for him, taken as though it was something she merely did to display her rebellious behavior.


"Schleya, my blood doll. You got tainted yet managed to escape from my Blood Pledge Villa"s executioners. We wondered where exactly you went, sometimes even a.s.suming that you were dead until we saw you at the Nine Western Territories Young Expert Compet.i.tion, and then we learned that you sided with the mystifying Emperor of Death and somehow gained his favor even though you are defiled."


The Villa Master spoke with an amused smirk on his face before his long crimson brows curved.


"Let me guess, that unknown powerhouse who defiled you is actually the Emperor of Death, no?"


"…!?"


Everyone became shocked at the Villa Master"s words. Of course, this was a widely conversed topic, but they couldn"t converse it long as there were also secret Emperor of Death fanatics in their Blood Pledge Villa. They couldn"t carelessly talk about him, so in the end, they couldn"t arrive at an answer.


In any case, it didn"t seem like the Emperor of Death and Schleya didn"t have a relations.h.i.+p as they didn"t publicly share their intimacy like the others. However, for the Villa Master to bring it up now, does he have unequivocal evidence?


"So you won"t deny it. Hahaha!"


The Villa Master couldn"t help but start laughing out loud as Schleya didn"t reply for three whole seconds, having her eyes narrow instead. The next moment, her crimson brows frowned as her voice echoed out.


"What"s there to say when I was never defiled in the first place?"


"…!?"


Schleya"s words were like thunder, causing the people to be shocked before they almost laughed out loud. Their question wasn"t a matter of whether Schleya was defiled or not. It was by whom she was defiled? That was what they wanted to know so badly.


"Uhm?" Even the Villa Master seemed to be momentarily taken aback, his brows frowning, "Ridiculous… even if you tried to hide it, this Primal Yin Blood Purity Stone would reveal if you"re still innocent or not. Do you dare to take it?"


As he spoke sternly, he took out a pure white stone. Many people recognized this one-of-a-kind yin stone that was a treasure used for dual cultivation, slightly increasing the quality of the primal yin essence during extended intimacy. However, it also had another purpose, and that was to figure out if a woman was pure or not. If the woman was not chaste, the pure white stone would react to the primal yin essence within the woman and find out that it was not present, turning black in a few seconds.


Schleya also recognized this stone. However, she couldn"t help but almost laugh out loud.


"It"s funny that you idiots didn"t use it on me back then, arbitrarily claiming that I was defiled and needed to die for staining the reputation of the Blood Pledge Villa despite what I said, but now, you"re demanding that I prove it?"


"How can my people use my villa"s treasures without my acknowledgment? After all, I was in seclusion, unaware of the things happening outside. You tell me, Schleya. Who and all do you want to be punished? How can I let my adorable blood doll suffer?"


The Villa Master seemed strangely righteous, his sharp crimson eyes sweeping through the crowd as though he was a reaping G.o.d, causing millions of wicked path experts to shudder.


"Then, kill yourself."


However, Schleya uttered in a nonchalant tone, causing the Villa Master to chuckle before he threw the Primal Yin Blood Purity Stone.


"First, you prove if you"re even worthy of the Blood Pledge Villa"s attention to make such statements."


Schleya subconsciously captured the Primal Yin Blood Purity Stone, wanting to crush it. However, her palm didn"t crush it for some reason, holding it in her hands as she felt complex, even imbuing energy as though wanting someone to see this phenomenon.


"I am… not defiled by anybody..."


As she imbued her energy, the pure white stone began to glow with a brighter hue, causing numerous pairs of eyes to widen in utter disbelief.


"Heavens…!" The Villa Master became shocked, "She is still pure… that means the Emperor of Death hasn"t made her his woman… at least, not yet..."


He couldn"t believe that Schleya hadn"t lost her innocence in the time she disappeared, a feat that was impossible for most women who left their protective umbrellas, making him wonder if the Emperor of Death planned to take Schleya later.


"No, it"s said that he loves virgins but had recently declined all advances made by the other powers. In that case, he loves righteous and virtuous women, but Schleya is none of these two… no wonder..."


The Villa Master"s eyes couldn"t help but flash in a strange light.


"This means that I still have a chance to make her mine as I"ve promised her all those years ago or use her as a bargaining chip for resources..."


His gaze roamed all over the skies, but he couldn"t sense the presence of the Emperor of Death or any of his subordinates. There were only wicked path powerhouses here, causing him to feel that such a figure wouldn"t show up here and remain hidden. After all, there was no need to hide when they were practically the ruler of the human race, right?


Feeling confident, he stared at Schleya keep the Primal Yin Blood Purity Stone in her spatial ring, plundering it from him.


"I know that you met with that woman called Mo Mingzhi and traveled with her before trying to curry favor with the Emperor of Death. Being the eccentric young man he is, which I am now confident about, I"m sure he declined your advances and instead gave you resources just so he could make that Mo Mingzhi happy… Hehehe~"


Inwardly, he couldn"t help but laugh at his own genius detective and scheming skills.


Since Schleya was not the Emperor of Death"s woman, it was obvious that he wouldn"t interfere much or interfere at all.


At most, Schleya was close with that woman known as Mo Mingzhi. For someone like Schleya, who sucked at exchanging words and communicating emotions, and to make it worse, her ice-cold expression, he was fairly sure no one welcomed her there, and the Emperor of Death or even Mo Mingzhi couldn"t help but send her away once she reached the Low-Level Law Rune Stage.


Even if they did not mind Schleya"s presence, her value as a bargaining chip just shot through the roof as they would not go too far nor too low to retrieve her.


Schleya"s value was determined and fixed in his head, causing him to smirk as he decided what to do next while folding his hands behind.


"Now then, come kill me as you wish."


However, Schleya didn"t move forwards but looked around as though measuring the strength of the Blood Pledge Villa she would have to face.


"What? Are you afraid?" The Villa Master sneered and looked as though he suddenly realized something, "Ah, since you were called the Young Blood Demoness, I actually forgot that you had a lovely and sensitive side. However, didn"t I bury that weakness when I had you perform the rites and kill your twin sister?"


"…!"


Schleya"s body shuddered heavily as her head swiveled, her crimson eyes locking on to the Villa Master as she moved her lips, "Courting death!"


"Heh." The Villa Master sneered again, "It seems you haven"t forgotten Kiela yet, but I still remember every little detail, every inch of her body; the little corpse I refined and ate was indeed… a delicacy."


"Aahhhhh! b.a.s.t.a.r.d…!"


An ear-piercing, heart-wrenching scream split apart the air, bringing cracks in the s.p.a.ce as Schleya shot forwards with her crimson crescent blades. In an instant, she arrived before the Villa Master and slashed with her b.l.o.o.d.y might, but at the same time, the blood rust energy flowing above the Blood Pledge Villa abruptly trembled, descending in droves as they covered Schleya and the Villa Master in an instant!
