Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 3940  In Pursuit

Two beautiful fairies sat inside a dark cave. Flames burned between them, lighting up the cave. It was an ordinary flame created from wood. They looked at each other, not uttering a single word. However, soul transmissions constantly went back and forth between them.

"We managed to get here hoping we could see him, but chances are we're going to get caught."

"Well, we managed to escape each time, so we can do it again. The strange blood crystals they possess are also losing their range day after day. If we could last a few more days, they wouldn't be able to find us any longer. Then, we can finally take our time searching for him."

"True, but should we really depend on- We're surrounded."

"Not again."

These two fairies were none other than Frostrose and Flamerose. Their exquisite eyes narrowed as they turned to look outside.

They could see a few silhouettes dressed in black-white robes descend. They appeared to be searching but couldn't find them yet. The twins had put up a concealment barrier. They were magical beasts but were highly knowledgeable in the art of formations.

It was thanks to their knowledge that they were constantly able to escape and survive.

"Frostrose, we are indebted to him for reviving us. We are not depending on him but going to work for him. Our own clans have forsaken us, so where could we seek solace if it isn't with Shirley, who carries our blood and cares for us as though she is our own kin?"

"Yes. She might be a bit hard on us, but that was because we, Zahara and Yeyin, were naive."

Frostrose closed her eyes. Her cheeks even reddened a bit. Flamerose also wryly smiled behind her veil.

Zahara was Flamerose and Yeyin was Frostrose. They were undoubtedly the same but didn't have the maturity they now had due to lacking experience. However, they also couldn't forget something.

When their eyes met, they both looked away.

The two of them had overseen Davis and Shirley's dual cultivation once in order to make sure Shirley digested their true blood essence without fail. What they did— it was still fresh in their memory. They still couldn't believe they watched it, believing that would be their final memory, assured that their mission would be complete.

The cave became silent for a while before someone finally came closer.

That man was a Level Eight Sovereign. He signaled the others that he had found a concealment barrier, and they gathered together, entering the cave on high alert. However, there was nothing here other than burned firewood that seemed to have gone out just a while ago.

That person clenched his teeth, "Quick, spread out. They should still be near."

*Whoosh!~*

Light and darkness flashed as the pursuers from the Eternal Twilight Imperial Family quickly exited and spread out.

In the distance, Flamerose and Frostrose flew amidst the giant canopy of the vastly tall trees. They were concealed as Frostrose used the Noble Phoenix Moon Shade Art's concealment technique. She didn't learn the cultivation manual as it wasn't used for magical beasts, but since she was the Ice Phoenix herself, she only needed to learn the technique. After all, the cultivation manual was based on an Ice Phoenix's energy circulation.

Frostrose was holding hands with Flamerose. The latter had completely suppressed her flame energy, so the icy flame energy was able to conceal her as much as it concealed Frostrose, especially since they shared the same blood as twins and the two flames didn't extinguish each other.

Like this, they exited the encirclement and flew across the forest, arriving on a mountain peak.

In the distance, they looked at another mountain peak and saw three individuals, three Level Nine Immortal Emperors. They recognized them as they had introduced themselves way earlier, trying to bait them out.

They were none other than the current generation princes of the Eternal Twilight Imperial Family. Each of them boasted the power of a top-tier genius, capable of battling five levels above in the Sovereign Stage. It put them below the realm of supreme geniuses, but being able to cross five levels in the Sovereign Stage was extremely good when compared with the hundreds of billions of Immortal Emperors and Sovereigns in the world.

Frostrose's concealment was barely working against them. They would've long been found if it weren't for the range and the Ice Phoenix's tremendous ability to conceal.

Still, these three individuals were the sole reason why their tracks were getting discovered, causing Flamerose and Frostrose to get annoyed at them. It was a pity that they weren't a match, so they could only flee.

They jumped off the cliff and carried on escaping from this region.

"There they are…"

But suddenly, an Autarch appeared in the air and pointed at them.

"Curses!"

Flamerose and Frostrose abandoned their concealment and used a spatial talisman. It transported them a hundred million kilometers away to the north. As soon as they came out of the spatial vortex, they turned around and attacked it with icefire, collapsing it.

They fled quickly, but the spatial undulations they had left were still there.

To an Autarch, a hundred million kilometers was nothing, considering that even the weakest Autarch's top speed was at least ten million kilometers per second. Within ten seconds, the Autarch arrived in the air. At the same time, numerous spatial vortexes opened, and the three princes and the other people stepped out.

"They do have some skill." The Autarch opened his mouth, "However, eighth prince, thirteenth, and fourteen princes, if you can't catch two Level Four Immortal Emperor Beasts, you three should honestly drop out from the race to the throne."

"Come on, they aren't just some random magical beasts. They're inheritors of that mysterious world and even capable of controlling icefire. I have never seen it. It would naturally be difficult to capture them, much less kill them." Complained the eighth prince. His expression didn't seem to be annoyed but one of having fun.

"Ridiculous." Replied the Autarch, "One hit is all you need to take them down, but you three are taking your sweet time trying to capture them. Just because they're a revered King-Tier Fire Phoenix and King-Tier Ice Phoenix doesn't mean you can have fun hunting them down. If you continue to have this attitude and other people end up witnessing this atrocity, their races would look down upon our respected imperial family even if the kill order for them has come up."

"Alright, alright. An Imperial Adviser should not be overly critical of us young princes. We'll capture them now." The fourteenth price laughed.

However, before the two princes could make a move, the thirteenth price shot forward and arrived behind Flamerose and Frostrose.

"Halt!"

The thirteenth prince unleashed his undulations. Darkness energy swirled from his body and transformed into a multitude of ropes. There were numerous, and they lashed out like whips. Underneath the scorching sun, darkness encroached and covered the heaven and earth. The whips shot towards the two women and wrapped around them easily, causing them to be stuck in place.

"Do you two want to surrender or die?" The thirteenth prince chuckled.

Flamerose and Frostrose looked at each other. There was no fear. In fact, their eyes were relieved before they looked at the thirteenth prince.

"You may want to retreat." Flamerose raised her brows.

"A good man knows when to give up," Frostrose advised.

"Oh?" The thirteenth prince raised his brows, appearing amused.

He chuckled before looking down and flicking his head as his white hair flipped and rested behind his head, "Seriously? At this point, you're going to try to fool me? Is there nothing else you want to try before I arrest you two and send you back to your clans?"

At this moment, the eighth prince and fourteenth prince also landed.

They looked at each other as they sneered before returning their gaze to the two women.

"Actually, I heard the Divine Emperor of Death also has a woman who possesses icefire energy. Are you two related to such a person?"

"That would be the case."

Abruptly, a melodious voice echoed from the skies, causing the princes to be alarmed as they looked above.

A silhouette of a flying boat could be seen.
