Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Chapter 1499 - Blunder?

In a certain location a dark green-robed man seemed to be waiting for the door in front of him to open. The door appeared to be artistically shaped while engravings of many magical beasts such as scorpions, spiders, centipedes, snakes, and many other creatures were present.

The common theme between them was that they were all poisonous.

*Creak!~*

The door opened, and the dark green-robed man immediately stood up before he entered the room. There was a silky curtain blocking the view beyond, but the silhouettes of three women and a man became vaguely visible. Their bodies weren’t stuck close together, but the three women roamed their soft and delicate hands around the man as if they could not bear to stop pleasing him.

However, the dark green-robed man didn’t seem to bother and went on his knees, kowtowing till his head hit the surface.

"My Lord! I have made a blunder as I let Elizar Yantra be taken away by some unknown powerhouse. His life and death are still unknown, but many, including me, think he is already dead. I, Devil Bane, deeply apologize for this matter. "

"Oh?"

The man beyond the curtain stopped moving while a woman beside him began to tremble.

"Jue, my dear. Are you angry at me?"

That woman froze before she stopped trembling. Her eyes were moist, but she shook her head.

"No, my lord. In fact, I’m happy. A father who sold his daughter for his own benefits doesn’t deserve his daughter’s concern."

"Ahaha." The Poison Lord laughed as he patted her head, "I know that you hate him for his betrayal but do you hate me?"

"No, my lord." Jue shook her head, her eyes devoid of fear, "You are my heaven and earth. Our circ.u.mstances may have differed in the past, but it has become true that I belong to you and only you in this life."

"Jue, you know how to make a man happy..."

The Poison Lord looked at Jue Yantra’s beauty and elegance as he became mesmerized. He pushed her on the bed and began to pound her silly. They descended into a bout of carnal p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e that seemed to be full of love while screams of ecstasy echoed from Jue Yantra’s agape mouth.

After some time, the Poison Lord exited the curtain while only wearing his dark emerald pants. His skin was pale, and his sickly appearance made him look like a ghost, but the laidback expression on his face made him seem as if he was truly in control of everything.

"Devil Bane, I can’t believe you let down my Jue’s wishes." The Poison Lord’s voice sounded frigid.

"I apologize, my lord. It wasn’t my intent to fail."

He still kowtowed, not taking his head from the surface. Yes, he was like this the whole time, even while the Poison Lord made a mess out of Jue Yantra for ten whole minutes.

"Lucky for you, Jue doesn’t seem to care, so stand up."

Only after hearing Poison Lord’s command did Devil Bane dare to stand up. However...

*Puchi!~*

Devil Bane’s expression froze while his pupils dilated. The Poison Lord had pierced his forehead with his steel talon with a purple edge that he wore on his index finger at all times! This weapon carried enough poison to instantly kill a Mid-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouse!!!

Even just a slight scratch would mean certain death within a limited timespan!

Devil Bane regained his thoughts back to the reeling situation that was placed in front of him. It left him mortified.

Was he going to die? His heart fell to despair as he knew that no one could escape from the clutches of the Poison Lord.

"You failed me this time, but you still have a task that you haven’t finished for me yet. Bring me the women I require, and I will remove the hex I cast on you. Until then, don’t show me your face. However, if you take more than three months, know that you will die."

Devil Bane came out of his reverie. Only then did he notice a dark purple light shining over his forehead. It was the mark of a poisonous purple snake. It shone with a sinister light before it disappeared, embedding in his glabella, extremely close to his soul sea.

*Gasp!~*

He took a deep breath, his heart beating rapidly in trepidation again. He understood that the Poison Lord didn’t use the weapon’s poison but instead used Hex Laws against him. However, he didn’t dare say anything and kowtowed again to the Poison Lord’s back and left. However, before he could leave, he kowtowed for the third time near the entrance.

"I swear that I wouldn’t fail your expectations, Poison Lord."

After Devil Bane left and the door closed, the Poison Lord’s pale face that had a cold expression melted into one of amus.e.m.e.nt. He walked forward and pushed the curtain aside, seeing the three n.a.k.e.d beauties willing to wait upon him as his eyes shone in a desirous light.

"Ah~ My lord~"

He pounced on Jue Yantra and embraced her, continuing to make love with her.

Looking at their Poison Lord handle a Ninth Stage Powerhouse like it was nothing, the women were completely tame, willing to do almost anything to obtain his favor. Especially Jue Yantra. She no longer held any mixed feelings or misgivings and fell in love with him as her eyes flashed with a desirous glint.

Which woman wouldn’t want a man of Poison Lord’s caliber?

======

Devil Bane made his way out of the Poison Lord’s Grand Tower and exited the Poison Lord Villa. He headed south with a calm expression on his face but inwardly, he was screaming that he had just escaped a death sentence!

He rubbed his forehead and felt that there were no wounds or even a scratch, almost nothing. There was only a faint source of slumbering purple energy, which felt like it might burst out if he tampered with it.

’As always, Poison Lord’s Hex Laws are truly terrifying!’

Instead of feeling anger, he felt awe and reverence towards the Poison Lord. Hex Laws were the combination of Poison Laws and Karma Laws. Learning it was near impossible, at least for him. Not one of them in the Poison Lord Villa had comprehended Hex Laws, and neither did other powerhouses in the other two Poison Territories in the Fifty-Two Territories.

That’s why he revered and almost worshiped the Poison Lord.

Nevertheless, he still craved life. Therefore, he was intent on doing what was demanded of him.

’Now, where should I go search for forty of the hundred women who would fit Poison Lord’s criteria? Beautiful, sumptuous, talented in Poison Laws and if possible, a v.i.r.g.i.n, which is extremely difficult to find amidst poisonous women.’

Devil Bane lamented, but purity wasn’t important since it was the quantity that was required. Besides, the Poison Lord had thousands of women in his harem purely consisting of women who gave their innocence to him, and as he spent his time mostly dual cultivating with his women, he was able to satisfy them all. Devil Bane was aware of that but, at the same time, caused headaches for them because their Poison Lord was sick of killing people and wanted to enjoy life.

Hence, he eliminated purity as a requirement as the sacrifices would more or less be turned into cauldrons in the end anyway.

However, if he really became passive, they would all be completely worried about their Poison Lord, but they knew that, in essence, the Poison Lord willingly fell into debauchery because of that ancient cultivation manual their youths unearthed from the Poison Rift Valley where many mini-realms containing Poison-Attributed Immortal Inheritances existed long ago.

’If I am not wrong, Poison Lord is cultivating the Baneful Myriad Lotus Sutra that requires him to sleep with thousands of women who specialize in Poison Laws. It is extremely difficult to cultivate but supports the cultivation of the user even in the Ninth Stage since it requires quantity over quality, which is good since it is difficult to find quality.’

Devil Bane knew that this cultivation manual is such a treasure because it absorbs the talents of those women, the cauldrons, by draining them of their spirit root’s energy. Such a thing, it wasn’t found anywhere, probably not even in the Dual Lotus Manor or so Devil Bane mused.

’Nevertheless, most of the beautiful and talented women in the Poison Lord Villa have already been sacrificed, and it would take time for more women to grow up in cultivation and reach the Law Dominion Stage. I don’t have enough time to wait for them.’

Devil Bane’s expression appeared to be making a difficult decision.

"Ugh...! Although the Poison Lord would be slightly dissatisfied, I have no choice but to provide his sire with Law Manifestation Stage women. I can head to the Myriad Poison Sect Territory and Poison Rift Valley Territory to accommodate the numbers. In any case, I have already gathered sixty of them. I just have to gather forty more from these Territories without making a ruckus, or else, even I wouldn’t be able to leave alive from those places." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net . fire(.)nᴇt

Devil Bane became angered because he was already blacklisted in those places since he had kidnapped their women in the past. Not only him but most of the powerhouses and experts in the Poison Lord Villa were blacklisted and would be killed on sight at those two Territories.

He wondered how difficult this task was going to be when his eyes widened as if he was struck by a bolt of lightning.

’Wait a minute...! ’That’s right... that... that woman! Wasn’t she said to be talented in Poison Laws and even capable of crossing levels to battle? She... She must have an excellent poisonous spirit root to be capable of achieving that kind of prowess at a young age!’

Devil Bane’s lips curved in a wicked manner. It was information that he heard in the passing while he stayed in the Flowing Mist Sect secretly, but now, this information was like a heaven-sent to him!

"That one woman can offset the disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e caused by the other ninety-nine women. I’m sure the Poison Lord would praise me for obtaining her. I heard that not only is she quite beautiful and overbearing, but also s.e.xily sumptuous. Hehe..."

As an evil chortle escaped from his mouth, he arrived at the southeastern end and plunged towards the Territory Gate that led to the Flowing Mist Sect. He spotted a conspicuous tower and entered. Before long, he met a green-robed person in a luxurious room.

"Blood Thorn, I need your help."
