Ch. 1581..1590
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1581
On the expressway. There was a top-level Ferrari sports car. The sports car was fast, and it overtook countless cars.
Alex looked at the dashboard, which showed a speed of up to three hundred and thirty yards. He quietly laid the Mystic Armor all over his body. He heard that a Ferrari would smash into pieces after a crash. At this speed, he also panicked a little… The main reason was that the driver was not him, but Luna.
Seeing her maintaining this speed while still looking around at the scenery, Alex had the urge to press his hand against her eyes.
“Ahem, did you notice that the scenery along the expressway is also quite beautiful? You do not need to drive so fast. We are not in a hurry.” Alex said.
“I am in a hurry,” Luna replied.
Then, Alex did not say anything anymore.
Luna and Freya’s characters were completely different. Although Alex and Freya did not get along well when they met for the first time due to a conflict, they did patch up. Alex found that she was a pretty enthusiastic girl and well behaved. When he needed Freya, she would take the initiative to step forward and rise to the occasion.
For example, while they were exploring the tomb, many times, Freya took the initiative to step up despite the danger.
As for Luna, Alex had no control. Her behavior was not normal. It was profound and mysterious.
However, Alex was also probably aware that she and Freya were not blood sisters. Freya was from the Exorcist Dragons race. Luna addressed Freya as sister-in-law, so she was actually Freya’s cousin.
After the three hours journey. The sports car got off the highway and was diverted to the east.
Luna kept driving into a county surrounded by big mountains.
Alex found out through the navigator that this was nearly a thousand kilometers from California. They had arrived at this side of the Witch Mountain Range, and the low chassis of the Ferrari ended their drive to the county midway.
Beyond here were uneven mountain roads.
“You shouldn’t have driven here in a sports car. Well, it’s impossible to cross now, right?” Alex shrugged and said, ”You might as well drive a broken Santana.”
Luna hummed. “I didn’t tell you that I will drive the car to the mountain, right?”
Alex said, “Okay, I’ll go find a car with a high chassis.”
Luna parked the car and got out. “No, we’ll use the waterway. ”
Five minutes later, the two of them arrived at a riverside. However, the river was empty. There was not a boat.
”There’s no boat you’re not planning to swim across, are you?”
Of course, with the cultivation of the two of them, it was not a problem at all to run across the waves. However, it would be very tiring!
Moreover, this place looked very far from Hygieia Valley.
Boom!
Luna kicked off a dead tree at the riverbank and picked it up with her toes, kicking it into the river.
“Isn’t it there?”
The next second, she flew up into the air and gently landed on the dead tree in the river.
”Are you coming along?”
Alex stomped with his foot, elevated his body, and landed heavily on the deadwood.
In fact, Alex did not know what feather walk was. To be like Martiny, who stepped on the melon shell, was impossible for him to do, he could run on the surface of the water because he relied on the speed after the lightning infusion…So, after he stepped on the deadwood, the wood sank violently.
Luna did not expect this to happen.
Both of her feet were submerged in water, and the wood rolled. She hurriedly leaped and jumped back to the shore to not fall into the water.
“Are you so stupid?” She frowned as she looked at her wet shoes.
Alex hurriedly summoned the Sword of the Universe to hold himself steadily.
“Sorry, I can’t feather walk. I thought your boat was quite stable.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1582
Luna replied, “I am saying you are as heavy as a pig!”
Seeing him standing on the sword impressed Luna, and she uttered, “I will leave the rest of the waterway to you.”
She immediately tossed her wet shoes aside and took off her socks. With her bare feet, Luna made a light leap and landed behind Alex. She gently and coquettishly stood on the back half of the Sword of the Universe, “Keep going. This river extends deep into the Witch Mountain. After the canyon, we will arrive at the entrance of the Hygieia Valley! We should be able to make it before nightfall!”
The two of them stood pretty close. This was because the Sword of the Universe was now only a little more than a meter long.
When Luna spoke, she had an orchid-like breath. Alex didn’t know if it was intentional as her lips were close to his ears. Her warm breath could be felt.
“Let’s go!”
After she finished speaking, Luna used one hand to hook around Alex’s stomach.
Alex looked down at her fair white slender fingers and was stupefied.
He quietly enlarged and elongated the Sword of the Universe. Using his spiritual power, Alex rotated the Sword of the Universe and moved forward on water.
Luna asked, “Don’t you know how to fly with the sword?”
Alex answered honestly, “I still don’t know how yet.”
She nodded, “Also, the starting point for imperial sword flight is the core formation. You’re still a bit short.”
The two of them were winding through the water, and it was pretty awkward not to talk.
Coincidentally, Alex had a lot of questions to ask. Alex asked, “That day, I heard your sister-in-law saying that there was a white jade commander in the blood conquest. Who is this white jade commander?”
Luna answered, “This is top secret!”
After a pause, she suddenly said, “If you can promise me one thing, then I can tell you a little.”
“What is the condition?”
“I haven’t thought about it. For now, you can keep it first.”
Alex was not stupid. How could she write a blank check like this? So, he said, “Then, I do not want to know.”
Unexpectedly, Luna pinched his stomach hard.
This kind of action was normally done only between intimate people, and she seemed to be very good at it. Instead, she spoke, “Jade, the flying eagle commander who became famous thirty years ago, was sealed as a five-star war general at the age of twenty-eight and was the only five-star war general in America. Now, there are nine war gods under him. Each of them is a super expert. No one knows exactly what their cultivation level is. But each of them is an existence that people respect because they carry a heavy responsibility far away that enables us to have a peaceful world. By the way, I call her ‘Second Aunt’.”
Alex froze as he listened, “I haven’t heard of it nowadays. Where is the big battle?”
Luna shook her head. “Not on this side of the world.”
“What do you mean?”
“It all began thirty years ago. A meteor fell from the sky, thirty years ago…”
Alex was starting to get interested, but Luna suddenly stopped talking.
“What happened after that?”
“Do you want to know what happens next? Promise me on one condition.”
“I don’t want to know anymore.”
“Humph, my sister said that you have a heroic spirit. ButI see that you are just a bear.”
Alex laughed harshly, “I would be a bear if I made a promise easily without even knowing what the content was.”
Luna gazed at him with her beautiful eyes. “I will not let you do something against your morality and conscience. Moreover, this top-secret may have something to do with your father‘s whereabouts. This way, will you keep your promise?”
Alex instantly became solemn. “Do you mean it?”
Luna replied, “I won’t benefit in any way if I lie to you.”
“Okay, I promised!”
“A high five is an alliance. If you do not keep your word, you will become an eunuch.”
“Huh? Must it be this ruthless?”
Alex hesitated for a long time. In the end, his need to know about his father’s whereabouts triumphed. So, he slapped her palm three times against her outstretched hand.
Luna smiled enigmatically and said, “Then, I’ll tell you! Thirty years ago, a meteorite fell from the sky and into the eastern sea of America. As a result, it broke through an ancient boundary and created a gap, and on the other side of the boundary is another continent in which demonic beasts are rampant. They are trying to rush through the boundary and come to this starry sky of ours.”
Alex gaped. Even the Sword of the Universe was still and did not move at all.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1583
“Another continent? What does it mean?”
“Well, actually, I am not very clear about this…Maybe it’s a small universe, a place sealed up by the mighty. But, rumor has it that there is a lot of space inside, which is vast and boundless…Of course, besides dangers, there are also opportunities. That place has an abundance of spiritual energy, which can kill beasts and demon cores. All kinds of blood and flesh resources
are available, so the white jade commanders’ cultivation improved quickly.”
Alex took a long time before he gradually digested this news.
In fact, when getting a lot of information about the Ultimate Book of Medicine, there were many records on it about the small universe, secret places, and so on. But, Alex had never come into contact with it, and as an ordinary citizen had never understood that there was such a place in America, so it was hard to accept it.
He continued to ask, “So, what does it have to do with my dad’s whereabouts? Are you saying that my dad went inside that ancient boundary?”
Luna nodded.
Alex’s eyes were clouded and unfocused as he thought about this possibility.
Alex did not believe that Luna would know about the teleportation formation in Caesar’s tomb because teleportation formation was unknown even to Freya.
‘Would the teleportation formation lead to a space within that boundary?’
One could only say that it was possible. It was also possible that he went to some other unknown universe.
“I have another secret. Do you want to know?” Luna said once again.
Alex was stunned. “Another secret? What is it about this time?”
Luna laughed. “It’s also about your dad.”
Crap!
“Don’t tell me there is another condition?”
“You have become cleverer!”
“Okay, I promise!”
Luna stretched out her hand.
“Slap! Slap! Slap!”
Alex slapped her palm three times.
Luna giggled. “I have met your father before.”
Alex jumped and turned his body abruptly. “Really? Where?”
The two of them nearly bumped into each other when Alex turned his body.
Luna pressed one hand on Alex’s chest. “What do you want now? You are so close to me.”
Her eyes were filled with a sense of playfulness and a hint of a smile, like a deer jumping around.
Alex had the feeling of being electrocuted by her eyes. ‘She… is not teasing me, right?’
“Where did you see my dad?” He hurriedly took a step back, and the Sword of the Universe was by now as big as a door panel.
Luna looked at her feet, and her expression became more playful. “Mr. Rockefeller, it turns out that your sword can be enlarged, right? Then, throughout the journey, you just made it so small, are you deliberately trying to take advantage of me?”
Alex quickly denied, “Absolutely not.”
Luna grunted, “Do not judge a book by its cover. Who knows what’s in your man’s heart? Well, to tell you the truth, when I met your father, he was still a diving dragon instructor, which was years ago.”
Alex was speechless.
What was the use of the information from years ago?
Luna said, ”I am trying to say that your father also knows that continent, which is another message free for you! That meteorite that fell from the sky thirty years ago not only broke into an ancient boundary but also created secret realms one after another, which appeared around the world. Some secret realms were big, while some were small. But there is one thing for sure, each secret realm has a different harvest. So, many big powers are competing for the secret realms, which is their ultimate goal.”
After a pause, Luna continued, “I heard that you are not familiar with Daya from the Stoermer family in Michigan. In fact, Michigan’s Stoermer family holds a secret realm, and Daya seems to have gone there.”
“How do you even know all this?” Alex was stunned.
“Do you want to know more? Let’s add one more condition!”
“No deal!”
Turning his body to the front, Alex quickly controlled the Sword of the Universe and flew forward hastily.
Very soon. The river entered inside the Witch Mountains and penetrated the canyon.
They had arrived.
Sounds of apes could be heard on both sides of the river. The scenery was as beautiful as a picture because there were green mountains and blue waters.
A melodious sound was heard.
Luna, who was behind Alex, suddenly took out the Sky-Devil Zither and played a zither tune.
With a pair of bare jaded feet and sitting horizontally on the Sword of the Universe, Luna gently plucked the zither with her fingers, and a beautiful tune like high mountains and flowing water was played. The tune complemented the surrounding scenery perfectly.
The tune ended.
Luna looked up and asked him, “Was it good?”
Alex nodded. “It’s okay.”
Luna became unhappy and hummed. “Useless man! You can’t even compliment people! Humph, I am not sitting on your snail-like broken sword!”
Suddenly, the strings of the zither moved.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1584
Clang!
A soundwave like an arrow shot across them.
Luna lowered her foot a little and leaped onto the soundwave are like lightning. She sped away with the soundwave arc.
“Holy sh*t!”
“This is too f*cking exaggerated!”
Alex’s jaw fell so hard that he might not be able to close it for some time.
Seeing her zither playing continuously as she stepped on the soundwaves and went further away, Alex hurriedly drove the Sword of the Universe with his spiritual awareness to catch up.
***
Below the peak of Witch Mountain. Above the Witch River.
A lavishly decorated pleasure boat in the water moved forward slowly. However, it was not quiet on the pleasure boat.
Slap!
A slap landed heavily on a woman’s face, and the woman was instantly flung to the ground with blood coming out of the corner of her mouth.
If Alex were here, he would be able to recognize her. The woman was none other than Shochiku, who had left the Divine Constabulary and returned to the Hygieia Valley but never returned to the pleasure boat.
The assailant, on the other hand, was a woman with a mean face full of cynicism.
“B*tch, how dare you seduce Big Brother. Don’t you know your status?”
“Why don’t you look at yourself in the mirror? Are you worthy of Big Brother?”
Shochiku covered her face with tears in her eyes, feeling aggrieved. “Third Senior, you have misunderstood. I didn’t!”
Slap!
Another heavy slap.
“How dare you squabble? Do you think I’m blind? I saw with my own eyes last night. Big Brother came out of your room. You shameless sl*t. You still refuse to admit it?”
Speaking of this, the woman became even angrier.
She took out a leather whip and whipped it fiercely upon Shochiku’s head and face. Shochiku was a doctor with no martial arts skills. This time, she really suffered as her face and body were hit and filled with streaks of blood. She lay on the ground and could not get up.
There was a group of men and women next to them. However, no one stood up for Shochiku.
Instead, they praised the third senior for beating her. Shochiku’s eyes were teary, and her face was covered in blood, even the wounds appeared, and she looked disfigured.
The third senior asked, “Which brother present here is interested in this b*tch in front of all of us?”
A man stepped up immediately.
With an evil smile on his face, he said, “Since Third Senior is in the mood, I am willing to contribute.”
“Humph, you are lucky. Go ahead!”
Shochiku was so terrified that she shouted, “Don’t come over! Don’t come over. If Big Brother knows, he will not let you go.”
“You are still bringing Big Brother up!”
Crack, crack, crack!
Three more whips and Shochiku‘s skin split open. She screamed in agony.
The man took off his clothes and immediately lunged toward her.
Shochiku used her last strength and jumped through the window of the pleasure boat into the river.
Splash!
This side of the river was swift, and she immediately disappeared.
“Give chase!”
“I want to see her, dead or alive!”
“She must not be allowed to see Big Brother alive!”
***
Swish!
Alex was very fast when he was alone on his sword. He was still behind Luna.
At this time, he made a sprint and passed by an object beside him. After passing a few hundred meters, he felt that something was wrong and turned back.
It turned out that someone was in the water. He made a grabbing gesture in the air.
Alex then grabbed the person from the water and took a closer look. He was stunned.
“Miss Nanami?!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1585
Alex was dumbfounded. He could not believe that he would meet Shochiku in the water in the middle of Witch River.
‘Could she be dead?’
Alex quickly pulled Shochiku over.
‘She wasn’t breathing!’
‘However, her chest was still warm. She could still be saved!’
He hurriedly put Shochiku on the Sword of the Universe. He used the electric needle technique in the Ultimate Book of Medicine to stimulate her heart, followed by artificial respiration.
He had long seen the wounds on Shochiku’s body. She was such a quiet and kind girl. When Alex was injured, Shochiku also took care of him carefully.
This sight of Shochiku was tearing him apart.
‘Who was so cruel as to do this to such a kind girl?’
Blergh!
Shochiku opened her mouth and spat out a large mouthful of water. Her heartbeat was restored.
When she opened her eyes and saw Alex, Shochiku froze. “Alex? I’m not dreaming, right?”
Alex replied, “You are not dreaming. It must be me dreaming. Why are you in the water? Who did this to you?”
Shochiku hadn’t managed to answer when…
In mid-air came Luna’s voice, “Hey, are you having a weak kidney? Can’t you walk anymore?”
Luna was high up in the air. It was still a long way from Alex.
On the way, Luna realized that Alex was not following her. So, she asked. But, when she took a closer look this time, Luna found that Alex was actually with a woman in white.
She hastily returned with the soundwaves again. Looking at Shochiku with a curious face. “Alex, how did you conjure up such a large living person?”
Alex replied, “I fished her out of the water.”
“Wow, you are very lucky.”
She examined Shochiku and saw that she was covered in wounds. Her face was also disfigured. Luna’s expression sank slightly, and she stopped flirting with Alex. “The person who did it was quite ruthless.”
Alex said, “Let me introduce her to you, Shochiku is a disciple of Hygieia Valley and a doctor of the South California Divine Constabulary.”
Luna raised her eyebrows. “You knew each other before?”
Alex nodded.
At this moment…
A lavishly decorated pleasure boat traveled along Witch River and rushed over quickly from upstream. Several people were on the bow of the pleasure boat, looking indiscriminately toward the river as if searching for something.
Luna’s gaze flashed and asked, “The person who hurt you are on this pleasure boat, right?”
Shochiku nodded. “Yes… It’s my third senior.”
Luna hummed lightly. “Fellow disciples are fighting each other.”
Alex asked, “What exactly happened? Captain Melvis even told me earlier that he couldn’t contact you and had been worried about you.”
While the pleasure boat was still approaching, Shochiku briefly told the whole story.
Shochiku was weak and suffering from a terminal illness. Her eldest senior pitied her and made a potion, which was given to Shochiku to take in the night. On the other hand, the third senior of Hygieia Valley liked the eldest senior. She had repeatedly confessed to him but was rejected over and over again.
That night, it happened that someone saw the eldest senior coming out of Shochiku’s room. The third senior was very jealous and turned frenzied. The third senior was determined that she seduced the eldest senior. Today, she found an excuse to invite Shochiku out somewhere to murder her. She even wanted the male disciples to defile Shochiku.
Feeling surprised, Luna asked, “Are the female disciples of Hygieia Valley so vicious?”
Alex looked at the fast approaching pleasure boat and said, “Miss Nanami, don’t worry. I will get justice for you.”
Luna clapped her hands and said, “Young Master Rockefeller is going to be a hero. When Shochiku returns the favor by devoting herself to Young Master Rockefeller, it will be another good story to sing and cry about.”
Alex frowned. “Don’t talk nonsense. Shochiku is innocent and kind. She is different from you. You can’t make such jokes.”
Luna glared at him. “Ohh, what do you mean, Rockefeller? In your eyes, I’m a heinous witch, right?”
Alex said, “Don’t the others call you ‘Old Moon Devil’?”
“That’s my mother!”
“Uh..?”
A coven of witches was even more terrifying.
At this time, the pleasure boat finally arrived. Someone on it spoke. “Third Senior, we have found this b*tch. She’s really alive.”
“There are also two people, a man and a woman, who saved her.”
The third senior’s voice came from inside the pleasure boat, “Kill them all!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1586
“Yes, Third Senior!”
Soon after, two men and one woman on the ship’s bow took out their swords with a swoosh. In their eyes, Alex and the other two were already dead people.
However, one man instantly changed his mind after taking a close look at Luna Flores’s appearance. He said to the male companion next to him, “Seventh Junior, look at this woman. She’s truly stunning! D*mn, I’ve stayed in Hygieia Valley for several decades, yet I’ve never seen such a pretty woman. This pair of beautiful legs alone gives me dirty thoughts. It’s such a waste to kill her.”
The companion looked at Luna and said with a nod, “You’re right. Then, let’s grab her over and have some fun together. It’s not too late to kill her afterward!”
The female disciple said with a frown, “You two lechers just can’t think straight when seeing a woman. What do you mean by you’ve never seen such a pretty woman? That’s because you guys are blind. Can’t you see that I’m more charming than her?”
The two male disciples looked at her and wanted to vomit.
Luna just felt upset by the men’s words. Hearing such profanities at this moment, murderous intent immediately surged within her. “I’ll give you a chance. Just kill yourselves!”
“What?”
“Beauty? Are you scared silly by us? Don’t be afraid. As long as you serve us comfortably later, maybe we’ll be reluctant to kill you and even give you a comfortable life!”
At this moment, a voice from the pleasure boat was heard again. “Is it done yet? You’re getting all sentimental when killing a person!”
The woman immediately lifted her blade. “I’ll kill that man first.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she stepped on the ship’s rail and made a leap.
“Humph!” Luna let out a cold snort and directed a slap in the air toward the woman.
Alex could tell that there was a kind of demonic Chi surging through her body. She was a woman who practiced demonic cultivation!
Wham!
The woman rushed out of the pleasure boat. Then, an explosion sounded.
Her entire body suddenly exploded.
The air was full of bloody mist. Broken limbs, guts, and rotten flesh splashed onto the bodies of the two companions at the side.
In an instant, they were dumbfounded.
Alex’s pupils contacted as well. He felt that this woman was too terrifying. In the future, he should be cautious and keep her at a distance with respect.
“Are you done thinking of committing suicide?” Luna’s sweet voice rang in the two male disciples’ ears.
However, to them, this was the final nail in the coffin. The two people trembled in shock as they hurriedly took a step backward.
However, it was too late.
When Luna stretched her hands, the two people were strangled by an invisible force and lifted into the air at the same time.
“Do you want me to serve you guys?”
“Fine!”
Luna smiled, but it made the two people feel extreme fear.
In the next second, the two people felt an immense swelling pain below their lower abdomen, as if all the blood in their bodies had rushed toward that area.
The area got more swollen with the increasing pain. They yelled in pain. They scratched at their groins, but it was useless.
“Please forgive us, please spare us!”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I was wrong. Please don’t kill me. Please spare me. It hurts so much!”
Puff!
One of the men’s groin exploded with blood gushing like a waterfall. Immediately afterward, the other guy faced the same consequence.
On the pleasure boat, other than Third Senior, there were still a few other fellow disciples.
Through the translucent windows of the pleasure boat, they saw everything that had happened outside. Everyone was so frightened that their limbs and lips started trembling.
“Third Senior, what should we do?”
“They’re all dead. That woman is too strong.”
“Abandon the ship and escape!”
Third Senior took the lead and rushed out of the pleasure boat’s back, plunging into the water with a splash.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1587
Luna did not chase after them but watched the people flee helter-skelter.
Alex, who was controlling the Sword of the Universe, stood still. He stared daggers at Luna and said, “Why didn’t you go after them?”
“Huh? Are you trying to drive me away? So that you both can act lovey-dovey here, right?” Luna sneered. “You’re the one who picked up the girl, not me. You should be chasing after them instead!”
When did Alex pick up a girl?
However, he said before that he wanted to seek justice for Miss Nanami Shochiku. Naturally, it could not be just all talk. He immediately said, “Alright, I’ll go. You help me to take care of Miss Nanami for a while.”
“I’m not free. Take care of her yourself.”
Alex did not even know why she got so angry. Hearing that, he could only take Miss Nanami and jump onto the pleasure boat first. Only then did he chase after those people.
However, he was held back by Nanami Shochiku.
“Alex, don’t go after them!”
“Why? Don’t you hate them? You almost died in their hands,” Alex said.
Shochiku said, “They’re all my fellow disciples. Even if they deserve to die, it’s just one or two people. Third Senior has a huge influence in the sect, and she’s the granddaughter of the grand elder. Those people only colluded with her because they had no way to resist her. In fact, they’re not ill-natured.”
Alex said, “But, I don’t think that they’re not ill-natured.”
Hearing the disgusting words when they wanted to make advances at Luna earlier, they were definitely not good people.
However, after being delayed by Shochiku, it was too late, even if Alex wanted to chase after them. Even so, it did not matter. He happened to be going on a trip to Hygieia Valley. It was not too late to settle the accounts when he got there later.
Moreover, now that he had Shochiku to lead the way, it should be easier to head to Hygieia Valley and seek the medicine.
“Alex, why did you come here?” Shochiku asked curiously, “Beyond here is where the mountain gate of Hygieia Valley is located, but very few outsiders know this place.”
Alex said with a smile, “I’m here to seek the medicine from your Hygieia Valley. At first, I was still worried that I wouldn’t be able to find the mountain gate. With you here now, it’s great.”
Of course, Shochiku was very angry deep down.
Third Senior and a few fellow disciples actually wanted to murder her and even defile her. If it were anyone else, they would not feel happy as well. She must tell her master about this.
***
Shochiku’s injury was still quite severe, especially the flesh on her face was split open by the few whips. If the wounds were not treated in time, scars would stay when they healed to a certain extent.
Sure enough, the scar could be treated at a later time as well. However, that would be a bit troublesome.
Hence, on the pleasure boat, not only did Alex give Shochiku a healing pill, but he even activated the Zharvakko talisman of the Ultimate Book of Medicine to help heal the wound on her face quickly.
Half an hour later, Shochiku was amazed when she saw her healed face in front of a mirror on the pleasure boat.
“Unexpectedly, your medical skills are so amazing. It’s no wonder that Captain Melvis respects you so much, saying that your achievements in medicine far surpass the ordinary people’s! At the time, I wasn’t quite convinced. Now, I’m speechless,” Shochiku said with total admiration.
She was a traditional doctor who was known as the apothecary in Hygieia Valley. Hence, she had a greater understanding of skilled medical practitioners.
Alex looked at her. “Miss Nanami, is your terminal illness related to your blood?
Shochiku’s expression darkened as she nodded. “My blood is different from the others. Its viscosity is particularly high. As time goes by, it’d be increasingly higher. It’ll completely freeze until a certain day! This is an inevitable family disease. I’m not the only one with this condition, but my mother and grandmother were the same too. They did not live past thirty years old.”
As she spoke, she let out a sigh. “I probably won’t be able to live past thirty years old!”
Alex ruminated over it.
Alex seemed to have seen such a disease before.
However, he could not remember it for a while, and he needed to think about it properly, so he said, “Don’t be discouraged. Maybe I can save you, but I need a little bit of time to study it! Well, after this incident is over, you return to California. I’ll introduce you to someone. She’s the real Immortal Doctor. We’ll think of a way when the time comes. The success rate will be even greater.”
“The real Immortal Doctor? A descendant of the Immortal Doctor, Guilherme Extraordinaire?”
“It’s Guilherme Extraordinaire himself. ”
“Uh..?”
Shochiku was extremely shocked.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1588
Luna could not hold it anymore. “Are you done with your love affair? If you talk any longer, it’ll be dark soon. Why don’t you go already?”
Alex was startled. He looked outside the pleasure boat and unexpectedly found that the boat was not moving.
“Why didn’t you pilot the boat? If you had piloted it, we would’ve reached there by now!”
Luna let out a cold snort. “I’m not a boatwoman. I don’t know how to pilot it.”
The pleasure boat had an antique look.
However, the ship’s bridge equipment was very advanced, and it was at the same level as the most high-end yachts. When Alex was still a rich heir back then, William Rockefeller had taught him how to pilot a yacht… Not only that, he dabbled in speedboats, motorboats, and all kinds of vehicles. At that time, William probably wanted to teach him this as a survival skill.
Vroom!
The motor roared.
The four propellers under the pleasure boat quickly spun. It was no wonder that the pleasure boat was very fast when piloted on Witch River earlier.
Before dark, the boat arrived at a pier.
This place already belonged to Hygieia Valley’s territory.
However, before the boat docked, Alex and the others saw many people standing on the pier. Everyone was geared up with a gun, blade, or stick in their hands, waiting for the arrival of the enemies.
“Uh..?”
“The situation is a bit bad!”
Through the windows, Alex saw the situation outside. Luna sat on an ancient wooden armchair with her pair of beautiful legs raised and resting on the table.
At this moment, she used her large, fair toe of her right foot to scratch the instep of her left foot while gently humming. “It must be that Third Senior. She arrived there in advance and tried to shift the blame to us. Isn’t she the grand elder’s granddaughter? Privileged figures can always stir up troubles. If we ever want to acquire Dragon Blood Vine smoothly, I’m afraid it’d take a lot of effort.”
When Alex saw her beautiful feet, he was in a daze for a while.
“Hey, I’m talking to you. Why are you spacing out?”
“Uhm, I thought that Third Senior might not give us a chance to talk ashore, so most probably…”
As soon as the conversation reached here, a dozen or so round, black balls were suddenly thrown over by someone.
“It’s a bomb!”
“Hurry and go!”
Alex hugged Luna, who was resting her feet, with one hand. With another band, he grabbed Shochiku, who was three meters away, over in the air.
Whoosh!
They broke through the pleasure boat.
As the lightning attributed spiritual power poured into his legs, he hurriedly stepped onto the waves and fled. Two seconds later, an explosion was heard from the pleasure boat.
An expensive yacht-level pleasure boat was blown into pieces just like that, sinking into the water slowly.
Third Senior, Jill Sinclair, was on the shore.
The sky was getting dark. In addition, Alex’s speed was breakneck.
Jill did not see them escaping from there, so she asked someone next to her, “Are the people inside dead?”
The person said, “A dozen or so Thunder Bombs have exploded the entire pleasure boat. They’d be deader than dead for sure!”
Another person said, “Humph, who would have thought that Nanami Shochiku would be so bold? She dared to collude with the enemies to harm her fellow disciples.”
Just at this moment, a woman’s voice was heard coming from all directions, as if a descending demon from the sky. “So, is this the way of your Hygieia Valley’s hospitality? Get your sect master to come out and meet me!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1589
Of course, the voice came from Luna Flores. And she was furious!
If Alex had not carried her and rushed out of the boat earlier, she really would have been hit by the bombs. Even though she was confident that she would not die from the bombs, she would definitely suffer a loss. It was inevitable for her head and face to be covered in dust. Perhaps she would suffer minor injuries.
However, in the ears of those people of Hygieia Valley, Luna was simply too arrogant.
“She didn’t die from the bombs!” Jill Sinclair viciously said. Her plot of murdering Shochiku must never be exposed. Once the eldest senior knew about it, he definitely would not forgive her.
Hence, she yelled, “That witch is still alive. Everyone, hurry up and kill her. Kill her right now. When she launches an attack later, many of us will die.”
However, it was wishful drinking.
At this moment, Alex and the others were a bit far away. They could not be attacked! These people did not have large firearms in their hands.
A Hygieia Valley’s disciple shouted, “Nanami Shochiku, you’ve colluded with evil forces and dared to murder our fellow disciples. Now, not only do you not confess and repent of your sins, but you even got worse. What should be your punishment? How great is the sect master’s status? Do you think a witch like you can meet him whenever you wish? Hurry, come here and accept your death!”
Buzz!
It was the sound of zither’s strings being plucked.
Tink!
Swoosh!
A burst of a murderous sonic wave was like a blast of lightning. It pierced through the air. The speed broke the sound barrier.
With a wham, the head of the Hygieia Valley’s disciple, who was still shouting earlier, exploded like a crushed watermelon, with the reddish, whitish, and darkish contents splashing all over the place.
In an instant, a commotion broke out at the pier.
She could kill whenever she wanted at such a great distance. It was too terrifying! To put it bluntly, the people of Hygieia Valley could not even make it to the rankings in terms of martial arts. Luna could even subdue the patriarch of the Lomax family with ease, so it would be effortless for her to kill the people of Hygieia Valley.
Alex said with a frown, “Why did you simply kill people again? We’re here to seek medicine. We’re handling this matter at first, yet you’re so impulsive. What should we do if we fail to seek the medicine?”
Luna said with surging murderous intent, “If we can’t seek the medicine, we’ll snatch it then. Just look at this fuss. Do you think you can find the medicine? I told you. You’re sentimental and don’t act like a man.”
Alex felt a surge of dejection. “Alright, alright. Just kill them! Even if you kill them all, I won’t nag you!”
Shochiku hurriedly pleaded, “No, they’re all people who Third Senior have blinded. I beg you. Please have mercy.”
Luna had nowhere else to vent her anger.
Once the Sky-Devil Zither was plucked, a wave of dozens of feet on the river rose and lunged toward the pier.
“Ah..!”
“Run! Hurry up and run!”
The tide was as fierce as a tiger. However, Luna had retrieved the demonic Chi in the end, so it did not have much destructive power. Those people were washed away in a hideous mess at most, but there was no death crisis.
Luna stared daggers at Alex. “Since you have the capability, you go!”
Alex looked at Shochiku.
It was better for the deer to undo what she had done. This matter could only depend on her.
With Alex’s help, Shochiku’s voice was transmitted to the pier. “Master, I’m Shochiku. I was wronged. I didn’t collude with the foreign enemies. On the contrary, it was Third Senior who collaborated with Fifth Senior and the others and tried to murder me…”
Before Shochiku could finish her words, Third Senior, Jill, immediately shouted, “Nonsense! You’ve committed such a heinous crime. Naturally, you won’t admit it. Don’t you quibble about it. A few of us have witnessed it with our own eyes. It’d be useless even if you were to lie till the sky falls down! You actually said that I wanted to harm you. Why did I want to harm you? B*tch, be obedient and accept your death!”
“I…”
Shochiku could not say more.
She was incorruptible and maintained her moral integrity. When she was terminally ill, she still worked hard to stay alive as well. She had never thought about love affairs because she knew that her condition was unsuitable for falling in love with someone. If she were to give birth to a child, wouldn’t he or she have suffered the same fate as herself?
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1590
However, she could not say that Big Brother had snuck into her room in the middle of the night. It did not matter if her reputation was ruined, but she couldn’t bear to drag down Big Brother.
Jill said, “You can’t say it, right? The evidence is conclusive. What’s there to quibble about? B*tch, you committed adultery with a foreign man and colluded with a demonic cultivator to try to topple Hygieia Valley. You should be ashamed to face those in Hygieia Valley who raised and taught you. You should be ashamed to face your ancestors. You should be ashamed to face your master. Anyone has the right to punish people like you!”
“Grandpa, there’s nothing else to be said. Use the spiritual cannon to kill them!”
Jill’s grandfather was also the grand elder of Hygieia Valley, Derrick Sinclair. He was present at the scene as well. He immediately nodded. “Alright, get the spiritual cannon!”
Alex was a little curious. ‘What was a spiritual cannon?’
Hence, he did not stop them either as he wanted to see what kind of plaything it was.
However, at this moment, a person, who was tall and slim with an elegant bearing, rushed out of Hygieia Valley and said, “I believe Shochiku wouldn’t collude with the foreign enemies and harm her fellow disciples. There must be some misunderstanding.”
The person who came over was none other than the eldest disciple of Hygieia Valley, Nanami Shochiku’s eldest senior.
When Shochiku saw from a distance that only her eldest senior in the entire Hygieia Valley spoke for her, her eyes instantly reddened, and tears started flowing from her face. “Big Brother, I really have been wronged. Third Senior accused me, saying that I…”
Luna could not bear it any longer. “What’s so embarrassing about this? What are you afraid of? Didn’t she just accuse you of seducing your Big Brother? Don’t say that you didn’t seduce him. Even if you really seduced him, so what? It depends on one’s ability whether she could hook up with him!”
Then, she took a glance at Alex and said, “Hey, beauty, you seem to have someone in your mind. I’m afraid that your hard work will be in vain.”
Alex helplessly said, “Miss Nanami and I have a professional relationship. I’m married and have a wife.”
Luna said, “So, you won’t cheat with her if you have a wife? Tell me, have you ever cheated on her?”
“If you refuse to say, that means you did. Hmph, all men in this world are the same, hypocrites!”
“Did you get dumped by a man? Is that why you have such extreme thoughts?”
Smack!
Luna slapped Alex right away.
She then said coldly, “You can’t simply say whatever you want. If you dare to insult my innocence, I’ll kill you!”
Alex instantly flinched. “Alright, I’m sorry. I’ve said something wrong.”
“Now we’re talking. I’m pure, innocent, and haven’t fallen in love before!”
Alex cursed silently, ‘You’re a moody witch. Who’d dare to fall in love with you? Only lunatics would fall in love with you.’
At this moment, with a step, Shochiku’s eldest senior unexpectedly flew over.
Alex and Luna’s pupils contracted as well.
“No way, Big Brother of Hygieia Valley is too awesome, right?”
“Flying is something that Nascent Soul experts can only do!”
“Oh, it’s kinda impossible!”
The eldest disciple soon arrived before Shochiku.
Shochiku burst into tears. “Big Brother, I didn’t lie… He’s Elder Rockefeller from the Divine Constabulary. If it weren’t for him. I would’ve died.”
The eldest disciple did not seem old. He was about twenty seven or twenty eight years old. He looked over with his gentle eyes.
He nodded at Alex and looked at Shochiku’s face. “Is this reddish mark due to Third Junior’s beating?”
Alex said, “This isn’t a reddish mark, but a trace of a healed wound after the scab removal. When I met her, she was lying in the water, not breathing. Luckily, I know some medical skills.”
“Thank you!”
The eldest disciple pulled Shochiku to his side. “Don’t be afraid. Big Brother will stand up for you!”
He took Shochiku ashore. With a cold glare, he said to Jill, “Third Junior, I want to hear the truth!”
