Chapter 483 - Get In The Formation, Alex (1/2)

Alex could sense it once more. The feeling was budding in him and it would take a few hours for it all to actually happen, but the beast horde was in fact coming.

'Dammit, the timing matches too,' he thought. His previously happy face was now nowhere to be seen.

The city lord and others saw the change too.

”Do you not like this gift now?” the City Lord asked. ”I can get something else for you if you want me to.”

”NO!” Alex shouted. ”I mean, no, this is fine. It's better than fine. It's just…” he didn't know what to do. The beast horde was coming and he needed to let the people know, he needed to let the entire empire know.

”I need to leave,” Alex said. ”I'm so sorry, but I need to go right now.”

”Did we offend you by any chance?” Lady Mo who hadn't spoken a lot in the conversations asked.

”Not at all. It was an honor to come here. It was an honor to talk with senior Lai too,” Alex said. ”But  I really need to go right now.”

”Is everything alright?” Ma Rong asked. She had never seen her disciple this distressed.

”No,” Alex said. ”Something is wrong.”

”It seems I will have to take my leave too then. I will come some time again, City Lord,” She said. She then turned to the Royal Alchemist and said, ”Senior Lai, please come to the sect once. Let us treat you a bit.”

”Sure, sure,” the Royal Alchemist said.

”Let's go,” Ma Rong said and walked out. Alex hurriedly walked next to her.

Once they reached outside, Alex immediately started to fly without waiting to be outside of the manor.

Ma Rong also flew behind him.

”Master, it's—”

”Is the beast horde coming?” she asked.

”Y-yes,” Alex said with surprise. ”How did you know?”

”I guessed. It's about the same time as it always comes, and you are the only one who knows it,” Ma Rong said. ”Still, it's quite weird how only you can know it. Is there something you are hiding from me?”

”Absolutely not,” Alex said.

”Alright, go and tell Wen Cheng. I will go prepare the elders to defend,” Ma Rong said.

”Okay, master,” Alex said and flew to the Tiger sect. He wanted to enter while flying, but a few guards stopped him. They were angry at him for flying in a banned area, but they didn't immediately do anything to him. After all, they recognized who it was.

”Please complain about this to my master later. There is no time right now,” Alex said and flew back again.

He brought out his talisman and messaged Wen Cheng.

”Master, the beast horde is coming. We need to prepare and caution the other cities too,” Alex said into the talisman.

He kept flying and got near the peak of the Tiger sect's mountain. Where he was around the 50th ranked house, he dropped to the ground and sprinted up.

'I need to caution sister too,' he thought and ran to her house. When he reached her house, he started knocking on it.

”Sister! Open up,” he said.

It took a few seconds for him to hear a 'wait' from inside and the door opened up. The one who opened it was Luo Xing.

”Oh, hey little brother. What are you doing here?” she asked.

”I'm looking for you guys. Is sister inside?” he asked.

”Yeah, come on in,” she said and brought him in. ”Oh right, here,” she said and handed him something.

Alex took what she had given him and realized that it was a talisman. ”What's this?” he asked.

”That's the formation you wanted to make. I tried my best and came up with that. Try and see if it works,” she said.

”Later,” Alex said and put it in his storage bag

”Yu Ming, what's going on? It sounded like you were in a hurry,” Luo Mei said.
