Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1400

Benjamin's hand on her shoulder tightened slightly as he looked at her, his expression just as serious. "I will."

Shannon turned around quickly, spoke a few words to Lexie and the others, and then, with a wave, released a zephyr glide talisman, heading straight for the center of the Emeralda Stone vortex.

Just as she moved, Heston followed closely behind. Soon after, Fennec jumped in as well. Reuben had asked her to follow Shannon back to Seastone for this very moment.

Lexie saw one after another disappear into the vortex without hesitation and followed them in. However, as soon as she jumped in, the passage that had worked for the three of them suddenly ejected her.

She landed on the ground with a sudden thud, still dazed, and exclaimed, "Why was I the only one thrown out?"

Benjamin wasn't surprised by it because he knew what Lexie didn't. The alternate world portal didn't permit people from this world to pass through.

Lexie wasn't allowed to go through it, while he had his reasons not to.

Benjamin didn't explain. He raised his eyes, his dark gaze still heavy as it locked onto the roiling thunderclouds in the sky.

Originally, he had prepared to face the heavenly lightning once more, but to his surprise, as Shannon disappeared into the alternate world vortex, those thunderclouds slowly dissipated.

The heavenly lightning didn't strike. Yet, despite this, the coldness in his eyes remained unbroken. How annoying was the Divine Power?

Soon after, as the water dragon drawn by Shannon disappeared, Emeralda's true form followed, vanishing into the vortex.

By the time Triston and his team arrived, they could only see the vanishing tail of the water dragon. The sky cleared, and although the Antique Village looked a bit disheveled, thankfully, the damage wasn't severe.

Benjamin turned to the newly arrived group, his voice somewhat indifferent. "You're late."

Triston inexplicably sensed pressure but explained, "The Black Smoke Organization had stationed people around the village, setting up a malevolent array. We were delayed a bit over there."

Although they couldn't locate the abducted Jordan, they had successfully dealt with the men led by Nash.

Benjamin was concerned about Shannon's situation, but he hadn't forgotten the promise he made to her.
