325 Entering (1/2)

\”Senior Sister, why are we leaving like this?\”

\”That's right. There were only three of them, even if two people were stronger than us, we could catch the weakest.\”

\”You all do not know anything.\” Letizia shook her head helplessly. It was very obvious they were questioning her decision. Fabio was a 4-Star Martial Lord while Anna was a 5-Star Martial Lord.

They could have two or three of them to hold Fabio for a while and half of them to hold Anna. That way, they can catch Alex, who was only a peak Martial Grandmaster.

But there was another concerning matter, they realized the person that she was searching for was only a peak Martial Grandmaster.

\”But Senior Sister, why are you so obsessed with him?\”

\”That's right. He does not even appreciate you.\”

\”There are many people far better than him in Mount Hua Sect, and they are Alchemist or Forging Master.\”

\”You do not even love him.\”

\”Like I said, you all never saw that. What is love? If the Rainbow Flower sect is destroyed in the future or I die because I am powerless, love is just worthless. I am just sacrificing myself for the future of Rainbow Flower Sect. This is certainly not my pleasure, but this is absolutely my duty.\” Letizia said while glaring at them.

Her speech immediately shut them up. They never thought the reason why Letizia wanted to marry that person was for this. But they still could not understand why she thought that Peak Martial Grandmaster very highly.

\”You must think I am crazy. But why do not all of you wonder why he comes to this place, and why his identity is so hidden?

\”From our information, the Southern Kingdom had put a bounty on his head. But not long after that, they suddenly took off that bounty. And with the bad blood that even made the Southern Kingdom had to put a bounty on him, why would he come here?

\”This place is very close to the Southern Kingdom. The Heavenly Sword Sect must have hidden him for so long. And the reason why the Southern Kingdom took off the bounty of his head must be because he is very valuable. And most likely, he is the hidden weapon, Heavenly Sword Sect.

\”I have seen his power and talent, and I am sure that he will reach far higher than the current sect master. When that time comes, are you sure our sect could still live?\”

\”…\” They could not say anything. Her speech made them speechless. This entire time, they were clueless as to what happened. They never knew what kind of burden Alicia was shouldering. Unfortunately, if Letizia could say that Alex got the inheritance of the Martial Emperor, it would be far easier to shut them up.

The reason why Alex came to this place even though the Southern Kingdom had put his head a bounty two months ago… Alex must be confident that the Southern Kingdom did not dare to kill him. He was not afraid of them.

They had some doubts about it too. Heavenly Sword Sect would not let him go to this dangerous place without protection. And they thought those two people beside him were not enough. So, Alex must have another few people around this area.

When they realized that, they sucked a cold breath. They were too ashamed because they never thought about that. Because of Letizia's explanation, they could realize that.

If they truly clashed with them, their group would be annihilated.

…

Alex did not care what they thought. Or at least, he had sent Njomo with them, to see if they would do something funny. He just hoped they did not do something funny or come back and enter this place.

Leoz and the others had been preparing themselves to enter. And it seemed there was no sign of undead other than the two Alex met before.

\”Are you ready?\”

\”Yeah. We are ready.\” Leoz and the others nodded.

\”I hope Anya will reach the Martial Lord Stage in this place,\” Alex said as he took the token out of his ring.

\”Maybe if you kiss me, I will be more motivated,\” Anya said cheekily.

\”Well, let's enter!\”

\”Ignored again.\” Anya pouted.

Alex then activated his token in the barrier and opened the barrier a little bit. As soon as he opened the barrier, the undead immediately felt his presence and attacked him.

Of course, the two who moved first would be Leoz and Anna. Both of them immediately chopped the two undead's heads.

The others also started walking inside the barrier. Alex then closed the barrier again.

When they came inside, they were surprised as the inside was very different. In fact, they were on the foot of a mountain. Although vague as it may, Alex could see an altar at the top of the mountain.

Alex activated his Spirit Eyes and saw a huge amount of dark elements were produced from that altar. Although it was a dark element, it was not like a black colored energy, it was the same as air. No one would see any dark color inside this place except Alex who activated his Spirit Eyes.

\”See the altar on the top of the mountain?\” Alex asked his spirits while pointing at the altar.

They could vaguely see it too, so they nodded.

\”That is our target. I could see the dark energy was coming from that place.\”

\”Well, we need to start sweeping this place first. After all, I could sense many Martial Lords around this place.\” Anna said.

\”Yeah. My instinct has been tingling this entire time.\” Leoz nodded.

\”This place is spacious, so we need to stick together for the time being,\” Alex said as he checked their surroundings with his Spirit Eyes.

\”You can see that hill over there?\” Anya pointed her hand into the nearby hill. It was only around three hundred meter hills. It was nothing in front of the one thousand meter mountain in front of them. But Anya chose that position because it was a good place for them to observe their surroundings.
