Josiah Whaley’s eyes became wide open. If it wasn’t for Aaron Coleman, he might have hit Waltz Fleur.Granny Silvan finally spoke up. “The little girl is right. Old Whaley, your biggest problem is looking down on others. Your words are always unforgiving. This is the primary reason why you reached a plateau at Intermediate-Mystic rank.”“Stop spewing nonsense here. I will surpass you sooner or later,” Josiah said angrily.Soon after, they were about to arrive at Sanctuary Shrine.To avoid attracting attention, the helicopter landed approximately a thousand meters away from their destination. The sky was still completely dark when the group of people quietly made their way over.***At this moment, Lord Lex Gunther was actually not inside Sanctuary Shrine. Instead, he was in a luxurious mansion that once belonged to Phillip Bale.Boom!Lord Lex Gunther was thrown to the ground so forcefully by a man surrounded in a bloody aura that he could barely catch his breath from the pain.
“Ahh!” Queenie Bell screamed.Preston Bale removed himself from Queenie and ran over to see what happened. He saw Lord Lex Gunther with a knife to his heart. With such a strong will to die, how could there be any possibility of survival? Even God could not save him.Preston was so angry that he kicked Lord Lex Gunther up into the air. “B*stard. He actually killed himself. To think that people called him the underground king of California. He’s just a piece of trash!”Queenie pulled her skirt down and ran over to have a look too.She seemed annoyed. “Mr. Bale, now that this old man is dead, how will we lure Master Rockefeller out?” “Apart from you and I, who else would know that this guy is dead? Go to Sanctuary Shrine immediately. I want to lay a trap there. It is my territory. As long as he dares to come, I will make sure he can’t escape,” Preston said.After saying that, Preston looked at Queenie.He started feeling an itch again.“Come here. Let’s continue what we were doin
Logically, they should hear even the sound of breathing, if not of footsteps.Aaron Coleman hurriedly took a few steps forward, trying to reach out to pull Anna Coleman. However, he couldn’t even touch anything. There was no one there.“Mr. Whaley, what’s going on? Where is my sister? Where did she go?” Aaron couldn’t help but ask.Josiah Whaley also seemed confused.Sanctuary Shrine was not big at all. Where could Anna Coleman have gone?The two searched for a while, but they still couldn’t find anyone.All of a sudden, the two became nervous. “Could there be some trap door mechanism on the ground? Perhaps they fell down right after entering?”“If you fell, would you not make a single sound?” Aaron asked.Josiah shook his head. “At the very least, I would have made some noise to warn the rest.”“Exactly. They would have normally called out, but there were four of them and none of them called out. That’s not normal.”The two men continued to walk forward a great distance.Jo
Waltz Fleur became tense. “Senior, do you hear that sound? Is that a woman’s voice?”Alex Rockefeller nodded his head while he looked somewhere further on the left. “There is more than one.”“It sounds so miserable. Why would there be the sound of women crying in a shrine like this? Could it be… something that’s not human? What if it’s a female ghost?” Waltz said. Shivering, she hurriedly pressed herself against Alex’s body.Although it was not the first time seeing something like that, Waltz still found the thought very terrifying.“It’s not a female ghost. It’s a person,” Alex said while shaking his head. Through his Chi observations, he could tell that there was human energy further on the left. That meant there was someone alive. “Let’s have a look. Be careful,” Alex said.The two of them walked toward the source of the sound.There were dense vines all the way down the path, there were all over the space.“Senior, what are these vines? I’ve never seen anything like it.” Wal
Waltz Fleur’s scalp tingled while she listened.Her limbs were trembling.Alex Rockefeller seemed to think of something. “Also, demonic blood wisteria usually coexists with a kind of symbiote…”Just as Alex was speaking, Waltz started scratching her lower abdomen. “What is this? It’s painful and itchy. It feels like a bug bite… Ouch! It hurts so bad! Senior, would you please take a look,” Waltz asked.She had long lifted the hem of her shirt.After shining her phone’s torchlight on her stomach, she was shocked.Waltz could see a small, red flower. It seemed very demonic.More importantly, it had really grown out of her flesh.“Oh no!” Alex exclaimed.He quickly kneeled and pressed his palm covered in spiritual energy against Waltz’s lower abdomen. As for his other hand, he bit his finger until it bled before quickly drawing nine strange Zharvakko talismans on the fair skin of her stomach.“Rise!” Alex roared in a deep voice.He reached forward and grabbed a bloody seed out o
Waltz Fleur boldly walked to a coffin not far away. Using the light from her phone, she probed inside the coffin.Instantly, she felt a jolt in her chest.A chilling sensation shot up from the soles of her feet to the rest of her body. After crying out in shock, she hopped onto Alex Rockefeller like a frightened rabbit.Alex also looked over, only to find the woman lying inside the coffin to be frail and had lots of wrinkles on her face. She seemed to be almost seventy or eighty years old, but her stomach was round and as huge as a basket. The skin on her stomach was smooth and fair, a complete juxtaposition to how her face appeared.The most bizarre thing was the bright red flower on her belly.It seemed too demonic to exist on earth.“Help… Help me…” The woman meekly raised her hand.But she could only do so for a little while. Soon, she was out of energy, and her hand fell.Nearly all her body’s essence had been transferred to the demonic wisteria fetus. She was down to her
It turned out that most of these women inside the coffins were still alive, and their stomachs varied in size.Waltz Fleur pointed at one of the women. “Senior, hurry up and come here. This one’s stomach is huge, and she’s still alive. She looks quite similar to the woman who just died,” she said.Alex Rockefeller quickly went over.Indeed, this woman, too, was very close to dying.The woman opened her eyes with difficulty. “Save me, I… I don’t want to die. I am… From Michigan’s Stoermer family…”Alex was a little stunned, but he immediately replied to her. “Don’t speak. I will save you right away.”Alex was still holding onto the demonic wisteria fetus from before. At this moment, he gathered his spiritual power and pierced a small hole in it. He then aimed it at the woman’s mouth, where a tiny droplet of pink fluid entered it.These were essences of the demonic wisteria fetus that could be used to sustain one’s life.After that, Alex directly used his Stake of Exorcism to cho
Anna Coleman was stunned. She had a horrified look in her eyes, and her face was pale.She recalled the rumor that young women passing through Sanctuary Shrine would somehow get pregnant… But she had been here before, and nothing happened to her at all!More importantly, how could a virgin like her get pregnant?Granny Silvan pushed Alex Rockefeller away angrily. “What nonsense are you talking about? How could Miss Anna be pregnant? Let go of her. Do you think I can’t tell that you’re just deliberately taking advantage of her?”Alex wasn’t paying attention and was nearly pushed to the ground.Right at that moment, Waltz Fleur walked out and witnessed what happened. She immediately became angry. “Old woman, are you blind? A flower has already bloomed on Anna’s stomach. If she wasn’t pregnant, why’d that happen? If you don’t believe us, go inside, and take a look for yourself. How can you say that my senior was taking advantage of her? What kind of person do you think my senior is?”
