Leader Arnoxin raised his hand as he gestured at Davis.
"With all being said, let us welco the Fifth Dark Apostle. Our current missions are to protect him as he grows and to assassinate a few famous Heaven's Warriors to send our ssage. Fifth Dark Apostle, you will also participate in the assassinations. Your first target will be Venerable Warrior Rosavelt, who is sowhere in the Forgeheart Peak Upper Realm. Our subordinates will inform you of her whereabouts later. Assassinate her, and you will be fully inducted into our Heavenly Blight Hall."
"Got it." Davis answered perfunctorily.
He didn't know who Venerable Warrior Rosavelt was or her cultivation, but he intended to hunt any Heaven's Warrior who ca across him since it was going to be an all-out war soon.
Davis cupped his hands, "It's not much, but I have prepared two Peak-Level Primarch Grade resources and eight High-Level Primarch Grade resources of varying nature to gift for the help I have been given. I'll give a location later, so please send soone to pick it up."
"Oh? Were you that rich? It seems like the trip to that secret realm was really fruitful." Leader Arnoxin comnted with faint amusent.
He sounded satisfied since Peak-Level Primarch Grade resources could still help him improve sowhat as a powerful Oga Exalt.
"You can say that."
Davis's lips curled before he turned to look at the First Dark Apostle with his hands still clasped.
"I won't forget the welco gift. Helping escape and eliminating one Venerable Knight is more than enough to persuade to join the Heavenly Blight Hall with a favorable attitude. I won't say much, but the Heavenly Blight Hall can count on to do certain things in the future that will be favorable for us."
"Big words, but I do fervently hope you can back it up." The First Dark Apostle nodded, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to such lengths just for inspiring ."
Davis returned the nod and continued to ask about many things about the Heavenly Blight Hall.
Their headquarters, their hideouts, their contact thods, and many more.
Although he hadn't been officially induced yet because he had yet to fulfill his first assassination mission, the five of them were receptive except the Second Dark Apostle, but Davis didn't care. The Second Dark Apostle was more or less dead in his eyes unless the other party was willing to change before the ti of death approaches for him.
They revealed many hideouts and so locations that could be more or less used as fortresses.
Davis also revealed the area and the general direction of his new settlent, but didn't give then exact location. He also made it clear that he didn't like any assassins near his family for obvious reasons, to which the others had no comnt because it was more or less a rule, but they had no way of enforcing it until the family mbers were already assassinated, so they let Davis say it explicitly to remind soone again.
The person in question just faintly smiled, not really giving their word, making a few others sigh.
Soon, the eting within this mysterious space ca to a closure.
"Oh, leader, this token I have- I can erase its location tracking ability, right?"
"Sure, go ahead." Leader Arnoxin didn't hesitate to answer, "It won't affect the other features of the token since I carved the runes separately, but don't expect or the others to co and save you when you release an ergency transmission, since you're only making it difficult for to co save you quickly."
"That's not a problem. I won't wish for leader to be disturbed again. It's my turn to return the favor, but I still need to grow, so I can only trouble fellow apostles and leader to wait for ."
"Good." Leader Arnoxin nodded, "I eagerly await your growth. Hopefully, you can prove to that my decision to aid you was the right one."
"With this, our eting has co to an end."
Leader Arnoxin flicked his sleeves, and the dark region around them began to engulf them all. When they ca to it, they were already back at where they were, their bodies still in the sa place, and rely four seconds had passed in the real world.
"You were spacing out. Do you have sothing on your mind?" Qiyra Darkstar asked him.
'The replica in Leader Arnoxin's possession is indeed extraordinary. Fairy Qiyra didn't realize my consciousness, whether it is soul body, or astral body, was in another space all this ti.'
Davis thought before giving the Heavenly Blight Hall's token to her. It carried the title [Fifth Dark Apostle].
"I'll depend on you to erase its location tracking rune."
Qiyra Darkstar grasped it and saw that it was a black dallion. It had a golden imprint of a picture- blight filling the cloudy skies. It was so ominous, but it seems like Davis decided to join them while also guarding against them.
"I hope you know what you're doing." She quietly warned him through physical soul transmission when their hands t.
Davis didn't release the token, pausing slightly before his eyes squinted.
"I know… Abyss Night Demoness- oh, was that Astral Night Demoness instead?"
Qiyra Darkstar's eyes slowly widened as she stared at him, her entire deanor suddenly changing.
"Do you want to say that I'm not that different from the Heavenly Blight Hall? You can think anything you want, but if you dare say anything about it to master-"
"Not really." Davis interrupted her, "I'm sure you have your reasons to earn that infamous title, no matter how small or irrelevant it may be. I'm now aware of the specifics, nor do I intend to look through it, but your master will never forsake you. At least, I can tell that she's not that hard-headed anymore after our incident. You should've heard about it, no?"
He looked disinterested before he shrugged, walking away to the grotto.
Qiyra Darkstar looked at his back with a complicated gaze, thinking he really does speak his mind. She did know about their incident as their master confessed that she had wronged him, but how could it compare with harming a single person against harming hundreds of millions of people, no matter the reason?
If it were her master back in the day, she might've ended her for it, and she still thought that way, but the Divine Emperor of Death was saying otherwise.
Davis was halfway to the grotto, and the others followed him when he sensed a projectile heading his way.
He turned around and caught it, only to see it was his Fifth Dark Apostle token. It felt hot to the touch but didn't seem broken otherwise.
"You're done already? Incredible."
Davis praised Qiyra Darkstar in the distance before shelving it into his spatial ring. He looked into his life ring and saw Zhao Yan still sleeping from all the sedatives and sleeping pills he had fed him before looking forward.
"Zenova, oh Zenova, your husband has returned… so why haven't you co out to welco yet? Are you that scared to confirm the truth of the lie?"
Davis's lips curled into the finest face of a villain as he muttered, his heart churning with passion and hate.
