Chapter 719 - Going Inside the Array (1/2)

A woman slowly walked toward the crowd. She had long red hair tied into a ponytail. Contrary to her fierce blazing red eyes, she looked at the crowd gently. The gorgeous red dress complimented her body well, and with a red translucent shawl circling around her body, she arrived beside Alex and threw a smile.

After training with God Stage Expert, Firia also built up some aura that was clearly different than those of mortals, giving her an aura of an otherworldly beauty or a goddess.

”I have come, Alex. Sorry for the wait.” And the same goddess greeted Alex with her gentle and soothing voice.

”I have just come. You are the one who has been waiting for me.” Alex smiled gently.

Although it was apparent that her strength was a peak 10-Star Martial Saint, they felt this woman hid more than they could imagine. Even so, her appearance really took their breath away. The guy like Song Jiaoren even gasped before he patted his sister's shoulder and chuckled, thinking it was no wonder there was no excitement from Alex when he met her.

”So, this is Evelyn… The one that you have been talking about.” Firia glanced at Alex before walking toward Evelyn. ”Nice to meet you. I'm Firia Merona… Wait, I should call myself Firia Sirius, shouldn't I?”

”It's just a name.” Alex shrugged.

”Fufu… For you, it's just a name. But for me, it's a status and my pride.” Firia chuckled.

”I… I…” Evelyn didn't know what to do when this beauty suddenly approached her. She thought it would be Anna or Anya, but never she expected it was a different one. ”I am Evelyn… Big brother Alexander's… What am I again?”

”What a cute girl.” Firia smiled gently before teasing her. ”I heard you even proclaimed to be his woman when you misunderstood someone's intention.”

”Ah!” Evelyn became red, embarrassed. It could be said that thought brought her joy, but when someone, especially Firia, said it, she was overwhelmed with guilt.

Noticing the situation, Alex tugged Song Jiaoren's hand and asked him to continue the meeting.

Song Jiaoren took a few deep breaths to calm his heart down before he started the event. ”Ahem. Anyway, all of us have gathered here, so how about we enter the Ruin now? I think the barrier has been dispelled.”

The others finally woke up from their trance and nodded. Elizabeth glanced at Alex mysteriously for a few seconds before sighing, while Astennu seemed to have overcome Firia's charm. It seemed he really fell in love with Song Yu, making Alex assured.

”That's right. Shall we go inside?”

Alex looked at Firia and sent a thought transmission. 'As expected, I should ask you to wear a veil or something?'

'It's fine. We are not as weak as we used to be. Besides, this can also scare away other women who have a thought on you. Meanwhile, do you think the guys here are qualified to pursue me? If they dare, I will just torch their influence.' Firia chuckled inwardly. 'After hiding for so long, I think it's time to show ourselves to the world. Isn't that your intention before entering the Heavenly Continent?'

'True enough.' Alex walked inside the ruin right beside her and observed the change in the others. Firstly, he didn't need to worry about the Blackwade Clan, Drunken Pavilion, and Phantasm Sect. Fire God Clan wasn't here to begin with, so there was no way they would target Firia. Besides, they must realize Firia was a Sacrificial Element user once they saw Firia because they had known Alex's Pure Fire. Unfortunately, his presence alone already scared them, making things easier.

On the other hand, Snow White Mountain was filled with women. Unless they knew Firia's secret, they would certainly have no bad thought for the time being. The only problems were Rio and Julius. Rio could be easily solved by trading with the entire family. Even though he looked barbaric, he still acted according to benefits. In that case, the real threat would be Julius.

He had been glancing at Firia this whole time before Elizabeth went between them, blocking his vision. Alex was wondering if he tried to do anything funny. From his reputation alone, Julius shouldn't be that type of person… Albeit, L.u.s.t is still one of the deadly sins. Alex just kept a note and decided to observe Julius for the time being.

After arriving right in front of the platform, the group finally stepped on the platform. There were ten circles in the array as a symbol that only ten people could enter. Each representative went to their own circle before they activated the array.

'I will be waiting for you.' Firia sent a thought transmission before she disappeared.

The array was sending their body probably to the previous cave underground before recreating their body with the Myriad Soul Body array. This was also the reason why there was no point in waiting here.

Alex could kill them though, but they would probably be protected by the array, so it was useless. Even if he somehow altered the array and killed one of them, it would only raise a weird confusion and might ruin his entire plan. Hence, he decided to go according to the original plan.

As he thought about this, the barrier then erected again, barring any other entry. Only Song Jiaoren and Alex were left outside as they looked at each other.

”Since they will only come out far later, I think we should go back first?” Song Jiaoren asked.

Alex thought for a moment and nodded. ”But I won't go back to the Blackwade Clan. I have another matter to do, so I think this is goodbye for now.”

”I see. I would leave first then.” Song Jiaoren cupped his hands and bowed politely before flying to his ship and returning to the Blackwade Clan.

Meanwhile, Alex's expression turned serious as he summoned Neon.

”Young Master. Do you want me to tail that Julius? I feel it will be a troublesome opponent, especially if he actually forgets about his dignity and tries to catch Mistress… After all, they only know there are only ten people there for this period of time. Even if he can't approach her inside, he might be planning something later? And possibly joining the war.”

Alex shook his head. ”I am going to tell Elizabeth about it. She is a smart woman, so I am sure such an action won't escape from her eyes. More so, that Prince Julius might lose the support of his own grandfather, the current king. There are only two possibilities if that really happens. First, the king will support Elizabeth to be the queen, and Julius can't do anything. We find the right time and assassinate him if he is still targeting Firia.”
