“I’m looking for Principal Henderso. It’s urgent. Is it convenient for him to speak?”“He’s taking a shower.”“…hand the phone over to him, then!”Alex imagined the scene and thought, ‘Have these two just finished the grand task of making babies? So, Xerxes placed the phone next to her before taking a shower, right?’Alex naturally became moody when he thought about the uncertain fate of his beautiful master, Jade.Hence, right after Xerxes took the phone, he said directly, “Principal Lawlor… Jade Benmore, my master, is dying. Do you want to see her for the last time?”Clank!A commotion could be heard.Those words had clearly stunned Xerxes.After a while, a distorted voice came. “What’s going on? Explain it to me.”Alex said, “I can’t explain here, but you’d better head to Mount Sota right now. Remember, be quick. Also, come alone and don’t bring Mandy along. That’s all. I’m going to be busy.”Alex then hung up the phone.Martiny looked at him as if she had seen a ghost.
“What’s going on?”Alex immediately looked inside.He had inherited this treasure after Genbu’s death, a shell that had strong defense powers that could be useful during emergencies. However, it was a consumable and every time it was used, the energy within would deplete. When it was fully used up, it would be nothing but scrap. This was why Alex rarely used it.‘Why is it flashing a warning, are there undefeatable Undead in the tunnel?’‘The Undead Queen can’t be… coming out from here?’“Let’s go down. Me first,’’ Xerxes said. He was so anxious that his eyes had turned red, and it seemed his feelings for Jade were strong.He went forth and hit the tunnel entrance with the boat, ready to enter by force.“Wait!” Luna stopped him. “Uncle, there’re traps in this tunnel. If you try to use force, it’ll attack back. I’ve escaped from here once, so let me lead the way. You guys can follow from behind.”Alex grabbed her and shook his head. He had a feeling that the tunnel was like a
“Using paper clones. What a smart trick!”Xerxes exclaimed in awe. He’d been a disciple of the Maiko Sect and heard about paper clones. Unfortunately, the spell had been lost through time, so he didn’t know how to use it.The next second, energy waves erupted from the tunnel. Just as the two clones entered, heatwaves burst out.Numerous orange wind blades blasted out from the tunnel. There seemed to be a mysterious, deadly flame within each of them.Slash slash!The two clones were sliced apart in an instant, turning into shreds.The few jumped back with startled expressions, especially Claudia. If Alex hadn’t hit her with the seal just now, then she would be the one encountering these blasting hot wind blades right now. Looking at the strength of the deadly energy, she definitely wouldn’t have escaped without Alex. Even losing an arm or leg would be considered a mild injury.“What was that?” Luna was pale with fright. “I didn’t encounter any wind blades when I escaped last ti
‘Someone’s down there?’Luna and the others were shocked. This was supposed to be a secretive place. It was a temporary route that she had dug while escaping. Moreover, these people wouldn’t have attacked them if they were Gilbert and his group.‘But… who could it be?’“Is it the Undead?” Xerxes asked.The presence of the Undead wasn’t a secret to him. As the Flying Eagles Academy principal, he’d even been in contact with them.“It’s a human!” Alex answered, no longer holding back his attacks.Constantly changing marks appeared on both of Alex’s palms. Golden rays surrounded his body, while Buddhist symbols levitated around him and mantras were chanted. A realistic golden apparition of him appeared.“Ksitigarbha's Ten Wheels Earth Incantation, Heavenly Nirvana Seal!”This was a new incantation that Alex had recently practiced in the Golden Holy Space recently. It was the last few spells of Ksitigarbha's Ten Wheels Earth Incantation, which were very powerful.Whoosh—As Alex a
The skies turned dark as the palm crushed the sea of bugs to death.The ones who managed to escape started buzzing around in chaos. However, Luna and the others weren’t weaklings. They worked together, surrounded the remaining bugs, and killed them all.Whoosh—Right then, the wind blade appeared again, heading straight for Alex.This time, Alex grunted and stood still. He secretly summoned the Chaos Tree, surfacing its roots like chains from hell and trapping the blades.On the other hand, one thicker root went into the tunnel.The root drew out a vintage wooden box with a twist and a pull. On the box were the carvings of the moon, the sun, and a single-footed divine bird.This was a sheath, made to hold wind blades especially. It was a mighty treasure.Claudia almost died at the hands of it.“Arghh—”A furious cry came from the tunnel, and then a shadow zoomed out from there. It wore some weird black armor.It was a green-eyed man in his thirties.He glared at Alex, esp
The sanctuary was on the other side of the tunnel, like a hidden paradise.Unlike the dark night outside, sparkling light as bright as a full moon would appear as you entered the tunnel. Even a ray of light the size of a grain was enough to provide clear vision within a dark area for cultivators. Hence, this vast light source was as bright as a sunny day to them.“Careful, this sect is no easy opponent. I feel like something’s up!” Alex reminded.“I don’t care what moon they are; I’ll kill everyone who comes forward!” Claudia looked fierce. She’d been practicing Serenity, which made her look kind of similar to Madam Kill-it-all.The tunnel leading to the inner caves had obviously been widened, and marks were left from the demolishment.Shortly into their walk, they saw the barrier of the sanctuary. On it was an opening, but… it was blocked by a scab, as though an injury on human skin.Luna pointed to the scar-like mark and said, “Past here and onwards is the true sanctuary.”X
Luna, who’d just walked in, let out a cry of surprise.Alex was right behind her, and he quickly passed through.They then saw a massive group of living skeletons crowding against one another. Their eyes glistened with green light as they all looked towards Alex.It was as if they were taken aback as well, surprised at how humans could suddenly appear.“The Undying Clan?!” Alex’s heart jumped. This situation was all too familiar.In the next second, war erupted.As the skeletons came to their senses like sharks that smelt blood. They shrieked and pounced towards them. These skeletons were quite fierce. Most of them even had weapons in their hands too.Boom!Alex sent out an attack with his palm. The divine power was like an endless sea, toppling the opponents and clearing them out of Alex’s way.Luna quickly removed the White Bone Whip from her wrist. She then whipped the air and said, “Why do these skeletons look similar to the ones in Spiritual Valley Dungeon?”Holy energ
“Oh dear god! What is that?”Closest to the bug, Freya couldn’t help but scream. As though she had springs under her feet, she jumped away and landed… in Alex’s arms.Martiny rolled her eyes. “Hey, I’m right here, you know?”Freya immediately blushed. “Mom… Uhm, it’s safer here with Alex,” she sheepishly added.‘Look! This is how my daughter treats me!’Luna looked at her sister, who seemed indifferent. She even laughed about this. “Daddy’s going to be hurt this time.”Undoubtedly, their father would be heartbroken if his two daughters were taken.Alex didn’t know where to place his hands, but he could feel an approaching danger. It was coming from the massive red bug.Whoosh—The colossal bug opened its mouth wide and sent out a white wind blade. In reality, a thick silk thread spurted from its mouth and aimed at Freya. The thread was so fast that it seemed like a wind blade.Alex moved thirty meters away in one step, barely dodging the attack.The thread landed harshly o
