“Ahhhh!”
“Save me! Save me..!”
The group of foreigners shrieked and wailed at the foot of Mount Yukon, but the massacre continued with an unstoppable bloodbath.
The Immortal-slaying Sword Formation unleashed its strongest attack. Each sword swished and reaped lives. They died right on the spot, no matter who the comer was.
Up in the Yukon Sanctuary, Phoenix perched at the top of the mountain and was commanding the Immortal-slaying Sword Formation. Consequently, the massacre ended in the blink of an eye.
She looked at Alex. “Never have I expected that you would have such a profound accomplishment in these outer space runes! It seems that you really have amazing luck!”
When Phoenix acted against those people at the foot of the mountain earlier, Alex also helped her. He had altered the Thousand Flag Formation and allowed the Immortal-slaying Sword Formation to encircle those people in a split second.
Otherwise, the Immortal-slaying Sword wouldn’t have killed those people at all due to insufficient power and the failure of the sword spirit to bear the heavy burden from the overconsumption.
Alex said, “I wasn’t expecting someone like you to be giving out compliments.”
Phoenix glanced at him. “I’m someone who speaks the truth. It’s your gift that you possess such an ability, but it is also a fact that you’ve stolen my stuff.”
“Uhm…” Alex blushed.
When he recalled having stripped off her statue, he couldn’t argue with her. Who would have thought that a statue would come to life? Under normal circumstances, no one would’ve thought of it!
He changed the subject. “I have heard a lot of rumors about your father, but the details are still unclear. The last I heard was that the great Genbu had gone to some sort of abyss to find a way to defeat the Undying Clan. It has been three millennia since, and no one has heard of a word from them. Is it what everyone is thinking, then? In fact, they have failed, haven’t they?”
Phoenix fell silent as her eyes darkened. Eventually, she sighed.
“It’s only half a year away from the three year period that the great Genbu mentioned. Half a year later, the force field he built with his life will lose its effect. When the time comes, the Undying Clan will invade on a large scale. Do you have a way?” asked Alex.
Then, at that moment, Shelly’s voice rang in his ears. “If it’s really the Beast King Pool, then it will be a once in a lifetime opportunity.”
Alex asked her via telepathy, “Do you know about the Beast King Pool?”
Just as Shelly wanted to answer him, Phoenix suddenly shot divine light out of her eyes and stared intently at Alex’s forehead before she asked softly, “Who is inside your mind palace?”
Shelly immediately kept quiet and stopped talking.
Alex replied, “No… There is no one.”
Phoenix snorted coldly. “You still have the audacity to lie through your teeth in front of me? If you are unwilling to tell me, I’ll go in and see for myself.”
Whoosh!
