This hadn’t been a big issue at first. She had been ecstatic at Jeremy’s death, but the problem now was that they didn’t know how to close the entrance to the Demon Cleansing Tower. If the door wasn’t closed, the force field to Fuzen Tower couldn’t be opened either.
Back then, when the Ancient Divinity placed the Demon Cleansing Tower here, he must’ve considered this problem. When the Demon Cleansing Tower entrance was opened, the outer force field couldn’t be opened to prevent the demons from escaping.
However, this was a tragedy to the Rakshasa Temple, it meant that they were permanently trapped here.
***
At the time, the Flying Eagles were still outside the force field. They were waiting for Alex and Jade to return. Therefore, Xerxes and the others knew what had happened within the force field and heard the people’s conversations…
In an instant, everyone’s mood was down.
A few days passed, and Alex and Jade weren’t back yet. They felt as if the two had indeed died.
Gilbert asked Xerxes, “Don’t you have Jade’s Soul Stone?”
Xerxes shrugged. “She took it back long ago.”
Gilbert sighed. “I pray that they’re safe! Alex… I really don’t know what to say about that fellow. Back at the True Martial Shrine, we all thought that he’d be dead.”
“My daughter even searched up and down for him. It’s only been a few days, and he’s in danger again! Being his girlfriend takes sheer courage, or else it’d be great torture.”
As he spoke, he glanced to the bottom of Yuzen Tower and noticed two people strolling leisurely towards them. It was a man and a woman. The man was stunningly handsome, and the woman was extremely beautiful. In their hands were two ice cream cones, which they were licking away happily.
“Oh d*mn. Look, who’s that?” Gilbert rubbed his eyes in disbelief, as the two looked like Alex and Jade.
“It’s Commander Benmore!”
“And Alex!”
“They’re alive! That’s great!”
The man was so furious he could taste blood in his mouth.
The sect master asked, “How did you both escape?”
Alex answered. “It’s a secret!”
The sect master asked, “What about Jeremy? Is he alive?”
“He’s dead!”
Even though the sect master had guessed the answer, she still couldn’t help shuddering in fear. Jeremy was much stronger than she was, yet he still died within the tower.
Alex smiled and said, “You should feel lucky compared to him. You can still live for quite some time within this sealed force field. As long as you’re healthy enough, you can live for quite a long time… Because no one can help you remove the force field. You’ll be very safe inside.”
Jade then waved her hand. “Come, let’s go to Yukon and give the Returning Sword sect a piece of our mind!”
