It was mainly due to the size of the sanctuary. Fortunately, Alex had enough flags-tens of thousands, or they might actually run out.
The next day, Alex’s mirror images disappeared in the evening, as if they were snowflakes that met the sun. He was standing on the top of a large mountain, forming seals on both his hands. Using Chi to write Cuneiform in midair, he connected all of the formation flags in the sanctuary.
Suddenly, Nadia came back to Yukon, along with three of her sisters and around ten strong recently-subdued clan members. As expected, the news about the building on the top of Yukon reached the Stoermer Sect.
Eustace was outraged and distraught upon his exile from Yukon, especially since he was the seed. It was a given that he wouldn’t let Alex off this easily, so he had been closely monitoring everything within Yukon. Eustace wanted to return when the building shone, but the goddess had ordered him not to. He didn’t dare to go against her, but he figured that sending others up
wasn’t actually breaking the rules.
“Big Sis! Third Sis!”
Nadia and the others bumped into Lorelei and Nebula at the entrance, so she went up and greeted them. The other three sisters did so as well.
“Nadia, you guys have already left Yukon. Why have you come back?” Lorelai asked.
“Big Sis, are you two really determined to go down this path?” Nadia asked in return.
“I know the young lord was wrong to send you into the pond to look for the pill. He was wrong to have not cared about your safety, but you will lose your life’s purpose once you abandon him and follow some random brat! Due to your work and effort from the past three thousand years, the young lord has decided to let it go once. He is willing to accept you into the sect again! Let’s just go back home, shall we?”
Lorelei couldn’thelp herself and chuckle. “Eustace would never say that. But either way, we will never go back.”
Nebula, too, was astounded. “Second Sis, just look at yourself. You’re not here to convince us to go back, are you?”
Nadia replied, “We’ve heard that the building on top of Mount Yukon started glowing. What’s up with that?”
That was Alex’s Thousand Flags Formation. Connecting each diagram into one, it constructed a large, complete formation.
Nadia and the others had fallen into Alex’s tricks before, especially to those Cuneiform symbols. They felt their scalps go numb.
“Retreat!” Nadia scowled and was first to back off, afraid that she’d be trapped again.
On the other hand, Lorelei and Nebula stood still, watching the group of people backing away thousands of meters.
Lorelei spoke up again. “Nadia, go back and tell Eustace this. Don’t mess around with the name of the Stoermer Sect. Some people View that sect as mental support. Its name is not one to be tarnished.”
“If he goes overboard, someone will stand up to take out the trash.”
