“What?”
To Alex’s knowledge, Eustace had been conquering divine sanctuaries out there, even going as far as to seize the land of the six largest ancient sects. As if that wasn’t enough, he had been expanding his territory every single day.
This caused Alex to be completely speechless.
“I just got news about the Stoermer Sect obtaining another three divine sanctuaries today, including Lao Mountain, Mount Drie, and Trinity Valley,” Gilbert said.
“Stoermer Sect is snowballing out of control now,” Maya added. “The further they go, the bigger they become. Those who were forced to submit would then proceed to force others to submit to them.
“Could he be trying to obtain every location that experienced the spiritual energy overflow?” Alex asked.
“That way, nobody apart from him would be able to absorb it.”
“That’s possible! Who’s this Eustace Underwood anyway?” Jade asked.
“He trained within the bowels of Mount Yukon for three thousand years, the chosen seed of the League of Cultivators and several Supremes!”
“The law power of the Wastelands and the universe have been stripped away as well, all this just for their so-called seed plan… All in the name of making it invincible… Too bad that we’re not compatible with the seed, so we can’t be on the same team. And now we’re enemies even. It’s either him or me.”
Jade said, “So it’s either him or us, huh…”
She mentioned this because their souls were connected.
“He will be coming back to kill us after three months,” Alex said.
“Why three months, though?” Jade asked.
He then explained the matter regarding the statue to them.
“So what are you planning to do, Alex?” asked Gilbert. “We can discuss it if you tell us. We can’t just sit here and watch that Underwood guy expand his territory. He won’t stop until he comes back to kill you in three months.”
Alex really didn’t know what to say. He couldn’t think of that many tricks before someone so powerful. The last time, he managed to trap Eustace and his servants because it was the right time, right place, and he got the right help, not to mention having some insane luck to turn the tables around.
“Let’s go take a look!”
In mere moments, the group entered with Alex’s help. However, after putting in some thought, Alex halted in front of the entrance. The commotion around that building was quite large, and everyone in America should’ve seen it, let alone Yukon. This was especially true for those who had been watching closely from outside the atmospheric layer.
Eustace and his eight servants might have a chance at bouncing back as well. Hence, the defense around Yukon’s periphery became of great importance.
“Save the main area. Let’s give up on the outskirts!” Alex made this decision on the spot.
Whoosh!
Alex summoned Lorelei and Nebula from the Cleansing Vase. The two were Heavenly Deities, after all.
The moment they appeared, Jade, Maya, and Gilbert instantly felt that they were in grave danger, like facing some extremely terrifying nemesis. Goosebumps sprouted all over their bodies, and their pupils constricted from instinct.
“Don’t be nervous!” Alex smiled.
