A moment later, Zora Luan finally turned to look at him and bowed her head.
"I must thank you for saving me back then. You raised your voice against the Fire Phoenix Clan's overbearing conditions to save me, right?"
Davis recalled his actions as Mo Tian, causing him to nod.
Zora Luan bit her lips, knowing that he had risked exposing himself back then, but still did it for her, causing her to feel moved again before she returned a nod.
"I'm truly grateful. If there is anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate."
Davis heard her sincere voice, causing his expression to turn solemn.
"Is that so? How do you think you can repay me?"
"…"
His voice raised a few notches, causing Zora Luan to blink. Was he serious?
"I… I'll help you." She uttered, clenching her teeth as she sent him a soul transmission, "… as long as it doesn't involve… dual-"
"…!"
Davis appeared shocked, "I didn't think you were a naughty senior sister. I meant to ask if you could help me keep an eye on some people."
"You…!"
Zora Luan trembled, the scenes of him and Evelynn- no, Feng Chu and Daisy kissing and making out flashed past her eyes. Was she the pervert here? She almost believed it until she saw Davis slap his thigh and turn to look away, his body trembling as though he was suppressing a burst of huge laughter.
She took a deep breath, suppressing her anger and embarrassment as she opened her mouth.
"Which people?"
Davis heard her meek voice that tried to sound firm, causing him to heave a satisfied sigh before he turned to look at her again, looking at her eyes that glared at him. Although he wanted to tease his senior sister more, he turned around and placed his hands on Dalila and Tina's shoulders, who had been attentively glimpsing at him.
Sophie, Bylai, and Lea were also the same, occasionally smiling as they saw him tease a pretty bird. They already knew Zora Luan and her kindness, so they didn't feel it was strange.
"I want you to keep an eye on these two and even protect them at all times like a true protector. Can you do it?"
Davis raised his brows at Zora Luan, causing her to be stumped before she smiled confidently.
"An easy request."
"You say that, but who knows how many are going to attack me at the get-go..."
Davis was not worried about himself, but while he was defending or slaughtering, he didn't want his women to be targeted. Besides, he believed his senior sister could somewhat protect them, so he decided to leave them in her care.
He chuckled at her decision but saw her remain smiling.
"I know what I'm getting into, junior brother. Although I can't compare to you, defending these two against other flies while you handle the truly powerful ones is something I'm capable of. I promise I will even stake my life to repay the gratitude you have shown me."
Zora Luan placed a hand on her bosom and appeared to swear.
Davis looked at her seriously before he nodded. If a Late Stage Immortal King Beast like Zora Luan said she was capable of protecting them with her life, then he felt like he had to accept as he knew that she was a woman of her word back then and should be even now.
However, his request to keep an eye on some people was for someone else, but he changed his mind as he felt that it would be too dangerous for her.
He turned to look at Cyclonis Blizzara, who returned to their side.
However, he didn't bother and wanted to speak with Eldia face to face.
But before he could bring her out, the factions present decided to send them into the secret realm now, appearing to be all done with checking all the dangers they could from the outside.
Soon, they were taken to the underground and made to line up, but before that, he left Lereza and the Nine-Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace with Elder Aradiel Furiose, entrusting her to him.
"You're the Emperor of Death? Wash your neck and wait for me inside."
"…!"
Suddenly, a black-robed person appeared beside Davis and drew a dagger over his neck, slowly brushing it over his skin before he chuckled like a maniac and disappeared in plain sight.
Numerous people were alarmed.
Davis did nothing to stop this assassin as he remained standing, causing the others to believe that he was almost killed.
However, Davis looked bored. He wondered why the Immortal Emperors didn't make a move as he sensed the assassins rush into the secret realm even without being given the go signal but recognized that it was because there was also Late Stage Immortal Emperor assassins present.
Still, he couldn't help but feel that assassin would've lost his head if he had so much put a wound on his neck, but not because of him.
'Goodness gracious… my master is right beside me, but that fool didn't even sense him...'
Davis lightly smiled as he remained standing while Master Deathseeker, who didn't accompany him till now, appeared and poured some information into his mind, telling him who to be careful of as the four great assassination organizations have made their move, sending in their strongest Immortal King disciples.
The assassin who placed his dagger over his neck also seemed to be one of them.
But he was surprised when he heard that the assassination organizations even paid the Zyrus Family in order to obtain spots. He thought that they were overbearing, but they were playing by the rules.
However, he also felt that the other powers wouldn't have done much to stop them. Why? Because assassin organizations could also enter secret realms. If one tried to block them out, they would be threatened with massive retaliation. It just wasn't worth it.
After all, they could always kill them inside dangerous zones, and both parties wouldn't have any problem as everything was up to one's abilities at that point.
"Go, go, go!~"
After a headcount, Patriarch Yinakin Zyrus cheered as he gestured for the disciples to enter the secret realm.
The disciples rushed over, passing through the wide spatial vortex, causing it to release ripples as they disappeared. The Immortal Emperors lightly sighed as they saw that their disciples were able to safely pass through.
Soon, it was Davis's turn, causing him to float over with his people as he entered the secret realm and made it to the other side.
He saw that he appeared inside a valley full of rocky mountains and verdant trees but first checked if he was still together with his people or affected by any illusions. However, he saw Myria come to a stop as she shuddered, her eyes going wide as she released an expression of disbelief, making him blink.
The next second, he also noticed the difference, causing his heart to tremble faintly.
