Alex made use of his spiritual sense.
The bead fiercely emitted a circle of light, immediately covering Alex, before fiercely engulfing him. Alex’s entire body went inside the bead. Imprisoned inside, he was unable to move.
“It’s called…”
”What’s going on, Mysterious Maiden of Nine Heavens? How could this have happened?”
“Please hurry up and let me out! ”
Mystic Maiden put an intrigued expression as she held up the bead. She placed it in front of her eyes, watched it, and said softly, “Alex, do you know how many years I have waited for this moment?”
“Wait a minute, what do you mean?” Alex was taken aback. “Could you be the evil Bodhi’s inner circle? Isn’t everything here about you?”
“It appears that you are quite clever!” laughed the Mystic Maiden of Nine Heavens.
“It is, in fact, true.”
“You’re half right. Evil Bodhi asked me to be the Witch Kingdom’s internal agent, but how could I, the Mystic Maiden of Nine Heavens, agree to be the internal agent of a tree spirit? My true goal is to intercept Evil Bodhi‘s target to the hand, the Spirit of Witch Origin.”
“Unfortunately, those nine old folks are too stubborn to yield, preferring to be imprisoned in the sea of blood for a million years rather than surrender.”
“But, thankfully, there’s you!”
“I’ve got the nine Spirit of Witch Origin because of you!”
Alex‘s face turned pale for a brief moment. “So you also controlled the Pantheon Tomb? You were the one who buried them here and periodically subjected them to the harvesting of the gods’ altar?”
“That’s correct!”
“Did you also play a role in the demise of the Witch Kingdom?”
“Well, you could put it that way.”
“Then… Did you also arrange the divided soul that escaped you?”
They trailed a slew of ancient gods who had all fled the Pantheon Tomb only to discover that they had instead, collaborated with Alex to put on a show, misleading the Mystic Maiden of Nine Heavens.
“Alex? Was that your mirror image?” The Mystic Maiden of Nine Heavens eventually saw that she had been duped.
But why, Alex’s mirror image, couldn’t she see right through it?
As the Mystic Maiden of Nine Heavens, she possessed the Eye of Delusion. All illusions could not be hidden from her eyes, yet she couldn’t see through Alex‘s mirror image.
“Well done, bitch, you’re the one behind the curtain!”
“You have caused us so much anguish, you traitor. You killed the twelve witch ancestors and destroyed the Witch Kingdom. What crime do you deserve?” The crowd was enraged and yelled angrily.
Mystic Maiden, on the other hand, remained calm and unmoved.
“How did you find out?” she asked Alex.
“You leaked it yourself!” he said with a chuckle.
