Chapter 1997: Choosing Sides
"This isn't a cowardly action."
The Mandate Emperor shook his head to Myria's question with his hands behind his back.
"The Mystic Ice Sect's sudden rise is obviously connected to you, so we can't deny the possibility of their betrayal. If you really think they're innocent, then obediently surrender. This way, no one would be harmed. You can't escape us, and we're only apprehending you all in order to investigate. Why would we want to harm the Mystic Ice Sect if they had no part in conspiring against the human race, no, this whole world?"
Myria almost rolled her eyes. Although the reply was reasonable and would make the common people nod in appreciation over the magnanimity and the wisdom of the Mandate Emperor, she remained unconvinced. Because of her mystery, they didn't dare face her head-on.
The fact that they instantly summoned their entire reserve of powerhouses denoted this fact.
She glanced at her Mystic Ice Sect, noticing they were all panicking.
In truth, the Mystic Ice Sect maidens were all scared, not knowing what was happening. The only one in the know was their Sect Master Bing Luli, Ancestor Bing Hua, Ancestor Wan Lanying, Ancestor Xia Yun, and top disciple Mu Bing. However, even they possessed some trace of trepidation in their hearts.
Faced with the entire power of the righteous path, how could they remain calm? What they were doing was undoubtedly betrayal to the righteous path.
However, they weren't going to surrender either.
The moment they chose to side with Myria, they knew that something like this was going to happen. However, being caught in this moment was something they didn't expect as, according to Myria, they wouldn't be able to find her, but somehow they did, which was explained by Myria.
It seemed that the Karmic Guardian Emperor used the karmic luck of everyone gathered here to find her, and the price appeared to be steep so much that they didn't use all the forces to force Myria to surrender, even trying to take them as hostages.
"Obediently surrender. Otherwise, we could only use forceful means."
The Mandate Emperor's voice resounded with a warning. At the same time, a soul transmission also fell on Davis's mind.
"Emperor of Death, we could also use your help."
Davis's expression was gloomy. He didn't expect these turn of events, much less this grand hidden formation that trapped everyone in this place. He could actually see that the Mandate Emperor was willing to sacrifice everyone here except the geniuses in order to capture Myria. Otherwise, did he think that he could capture Myria with just their forces?
Perhaps, the Mandate Emperor was relying on his help to capture her, and that's why he was contacted.
Davis glanced at Lea standing amidst the plethora of powerhouses. Since she was part of the hegemons of the human race, it was a given that she would stand along with them. However, the calm gaze in her crimson eyes told him that she would follow whatever decision he made.
Only his Alstreim Family didn't answer the call because they were waiting for his opinion.
Davis inwardly sighed and moved his lips.
"Alright, everyone should disperse."
"…"
For a moment, everyone couldn't believe their ears. Did the Emperor of Death say that they should just obediently die to the Calamity Light?
