Alex let out a sigh. His palm was stinging with pain. The battle was quite life-threatening, after all.
‘That female outsider is unexpectedly strong.’ Alex thought. ‘Then won’t the others on the airship be just as annoying as she is?’
However, the most important thing they had to do now was to escape this place. He lifted Shirley in one arm, dragging the female outsider’s corpse with the other. After that, he used Instant Teleportation and escaped far away.
Seconds after he left, three people rushed over as fast as lightning. They were the companions of the dead woman.
They seemed to have some sort of special connection.
“Alyssa’s dead. Her soul has shattered!”
“Why would something like this happen? Alyssa Huffman is the best prodigy of the Horizon clan in 100 millennials! Yet she died here? The clan is going to go mad for this!”
“The Huffmans would definitely look into her death. They might interrogate us and her fiance too. Oh god, this is too troublesome…”
“That’s after we get out, though. Think about it, who killed Alyssa? Could it really be the natives we saw a while ago?”
These people spoke in a very foreign language. It didn’t sound to be of this world. Even if Alex and the others were to eavesdrop on them, they wouldn’t be able to understand a word.
However, they were utterly shocked by Alyssa’s murder, losing their arrogance completely. They couldn’t help but feel kind of scared since Alyssa was the strongest amongst them. Now that she was the first to be killed, they worried about their fates if they were in her place.
“I think there’s some residual holy energy here. It’s pretty pure.” One of them squatted down abruptly, grabbing a handful of dirt.
That was exactly the spot where Alex used the Requiem Clock to cover himself.
Everyone was surprised to hear this, checking it out themselves.
“As expected, even residual holy energy is still very pure. It’s the Chi of an ancient Buddha, after all.”
“This… Too surprising. We’re talking about an ancient Buddha here. Do ancient Buddhas still exist in this universe?”
“They could be from another universe! This is good news, no matter how l see it. Those naked punks are probably ancient Buddhist cultivators.”
“It was rumored that such cultivators are quite poor, and they don’t care much about appearance. They even treat their bodies as mere meat sacks… But the Dairaionji Temple is no doubt most compatible with ancient Buddhist cultivators. We have to find them. We might be able to enter the true Dairaionji Temple, you know?”
Hearing this, all of them were excited. They were no longer hung up on Alyssa’s death, hoping to hunt down Alex and the rest instead.
He looked at the 3D map in his mind. Knowing that there weren’t any bone patterns nearby meant that they were safe for now.
Hence, he immediately threw Alyssa’s body aside and checked on Shirley.
She was unconscious from using way too much soul power. The fractures also caused more damages to her soul.
Alex pondered and used the Ultimate Book of Medicine to comfort and heal her soul. As the Ultimate Book of Medicine had widespread knowledge, not only was it able to cure humans and ghosts, it could even heal gods. It was certainly an extraordinary book
Alex used his soul power as a healing method, summoning Zharvakko talismans and inserting them into her soul.
Half an hour later, Shirley regained consciousness and looked at Alex. “Did you enter my mind?”
Alex shrugged. “I didn’t look through your memories.”
Using this method to heal one’s soul had consequences. Healing a soul with a soul would cause their minds to cross. If he didn’t enter her mind, he wouldn’t be able to search for the wound.
Shirley was weirded out. “You saw that memory just now, right? Don’t deny it. I know you saw it because I saw it too. I just want to know if we saw the same thing.”
