The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1831
When Alex took a closer look at the speaking woman, he was stunned for a moment. He blurted, “Didn’t you die?”
It turned out the speaking woman was Jade Benmore.
Didn’t Spencer Queen say that Jade Benmore and her subordinates died in Myriad Demon Valley after being trapped inside?
Never did he expect that she would appear in front of him alive. What was this place then? Was it inside the ancient force field?
“Who said I’m dead? Do you want me to die so badly?” Jade twisted Alex’s ear. “I asked you, where did you come from? Where does this teleportation portal lead to?!”
Alex was about to say something.
All of a sudden, an earth-shattering wild roar rang out in the front. This place seemed to be inside a cave. At this moment, the cave began to shake, and many rocks fell. Everyone started to seem nervous.
At this moment, someone rushed back. “Sis, the demons have started another uprising. We can’t hold them for long. Soon, they will rush in here. We have to fight our way out.”
Alex knew the woman who came in.
She was drenched in blood and had a shaky breath, she was Nora Stewart.
Everyone knew it with out her report because another two people in the front retreated, and a group of extremely huge monsters that looked like monkeys or bears rushed in. Both parties were having a fierce battle.
For a moment, the entire cave was about to collapse. Even if Alex wanted to help in the battle of this level, he would not be able to help them at all. This group of people was the strong one among the humans, and their cultivation base was generally above the Spirit Severing stage. Without the blessing of Ksitigarbha’s golden body on himself, he was just a weakling, so he hurriedly retreated to the teleportation circle.
He shouted, “Master, the other side of the teleportation circle is a secret realm. There’s a spell formation inside. Everyone, hurry up and go in there with me.”
As soon as he said that, he jumped into it first. Any random attacks from these people that landed on him would cause him great trouble. Only idiots would stay there.
Whoosh!
Alex returned to Kala Temple.
Unfortunately, this teleportation circle had a bilateral pathway. Otherwise, he would bring about his destruction if he could not return after entering it. This was thanks to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s foresight.
‘Amitabha!’
“Hubby, how is it? What kind of place is it over there?” Dorothy asked.
The others were curious as well. If that place was still fine, they might as well go in and take a look.
However, Alex immediately yelled, “Hurry up and run! Run there quickly. It’s dangerous here!”
He immediately pulled Dorothy and Luna and flew away from the teleportation circle at lightning speed. The rest did not understand the situation. At this moment, a group of people rushed out of the teleportation circle. All of them emitted murderous aura, and there were scars all over their bodies, Jade Bemnore, Nora Stewart, and the others.
“Benmore… Commander Benmore?” Jason Moss and Fatima Thompson were startled for a brief moment. They thought, ‘What’s going on? Didn’t he say Commander Benmore is dead? But Commander Benmore isn’t dead. It’s too great!’
At this moment, a giant ape-sized monster rushed out of the teleportation circle and let out a powerful roar.
The sound wave alone caused several nearby students from the Flying Eagles Academy to vomit blood and fall to the ground, unable to get up.
Jade and the others were shocked as well. Never did they expect that there would be so many people over this side of the teleportation portal.
“All the irrelevant people, back off! All of you, retreat!” Jade rushed forward and blocked the monster that was about to slam into a student.
She grabbed its thick, strong leg and pulled it back ferociously, causing the monster to let out a piercing scream. When it turned around, sharp black claws that emitted blue light popped out of its front paw, directed toward Jade’s arm.
Boom!
Jade was even faster.
She was a powerful Peak-Tribulation Crossing expert. Although she had suffered severe injuries, nobody’s combat power could be compared to hers. She dragged the monster and slammed it hard onto the green stone ground.
As a result, the expected massive crater on the ground from the slam did not appear. The ground here was so sturdy to the point of unbelievable. Let alone a crater, there was not a single trace of the attack. The monster screamed as many of its bones were unknowingly broken.
Nora, who rushed over, pierced the monster’s eye with her sword.
It stabbed into its brain.
Jade did not stop for a single second. She went back and patted on the formation blueprint next to the teleportation circle. As a muffled buzz rang out, Jade was knocked back over ten meters by a force of counter-shock. However, the runic formation blueprint on the ground was not damaged, and the teleportation portal still existed.
This caused even more monsters to rush out of it.
“What kind of secret realm is this place?”
“Why can’t this teleportation circle be destroyed?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1832
“Alex Rockefeller!”
Jade Benmore roared while desperately blocking the monsters coming out of the teleportation circle.
Alex was shocked when he heard her. Only then did he remember that the entire Kala Temple was Buddhism’s treasure, the final pure land of Buddhism. When Ksitigarbha passed down the legacy to him, he once said that the resurrection of the Western Paradise would begin from Kala Temple.
It was hard for ordinary people to destroy every single thing here.
However, Alex was different. He was the future Lord of the Western Paradise, the final savior of eternal Buddhism, and the master of Kala Temple. He could do it.
The next moment, Alex rushed over.
However, there were too many monsters, more than dozens of them. Each of them was over ten meters tall and had overwhelming combat power. Alex, who could not break through them, was targeted by a monster.
“Um, can someone help me for a moment?” Alex shouted.
However, no one came over. Everyone else was busy!
Nora even scolded, “Why didn’t you hide? What are you trying to do by running over here? Are you trying to cause more trouble?”
Alex said, “I’m going to close…”
Before he could say the two words ‘teleportation circle’, a monster interrupted him.
“D*mn!”
Alex hurriedly retreated by rolling on the ground and shot two paper dolls out to interrupt the monsters’ attacks. He said, “Jade, come over and take me there. I’ll shut down the teleportation portal.”
Jade, who was guarding the teleportation portal, bombarded the monsters savagely. She could not step away from it at all.
She said to Nora, “Nora, go over and bring him here.”
However, Nora said, “Sis, don’t you listen to his nonsense. Even you can’t destroy this teleportation portal, what else can he possibly do?”
Then, she said to Alex, “Alex Rockefeller, don’t cause us more trouble. Hurry up and go away.”
Alex loathed this woman initially, so he scolded, “You’re an idiot!”
Just then, Jason, Juliette, Dorothy, and Luna all rushed over.
“Alex, let us help you!”
“Alright!”
Jason’s cultivation base was decent, so he took the lead and became the meat shield for the entire squad to block the monsters’ attacks.
Juliette was purely a damage dealer. Her area of effect attacks was good. Luna could cause interruptions with her Sky-Devil
Zither.
Dorothy was a ranged attacker.
On the other hand, Alex was an all-rounder. Although his cultivation base was not considered high, he was durable! His body recovery ability could be said to be insane. Although his divine power was insufficient and the treasure of Buddhism was unavailable, it was still good to take it slow using the Sword of the Universe.
Finally, Alex got closer to the teleportation portal. He immediately formed a seal with his hands and slapped an ancient rune into the spell formation.
Whoosh!
The erected teleportation portal instantly disappeared.
A monster that had only made it halfway through the portal was sliced into half as if a knife cut it. The remaining half landed on the ground, and it died on the spot.
“You know how to control teleportation circles?” Jade looked at Alex in surprise.
Jason said, “Commander Benmore, Alex is a spell circle expert. Initially, this teleportation portal was damaged. Alex was the one who repaired it!”
“What?!”
Jade was startled as not anyone could simply repair a teleportation circle. ‘Was this brat that amazing?’
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1833
Without the continuous emergence of monsters, the pressure significantly reduced when dealing with the rest of them. Jade killed the monsters around the teleportation circle in the blink of an eye and had time to help kill the others.
In less than ten minutes, all the monsters were wiped out.
Jade, who was relieved, exhaled the breath she was holding back. She sat on the ground without caring about her image and panted heavily.
She was dead beat. It had been one week!
They had endured Myriad Demon Valley for an entire week and fought all the time. They were really desperate. They only discovered the cave yesterday, so they could barely hide in there to catch their breaths. If the teleportation circle repaired by Alex had not opened up a gateway in that cave during the critical moment, all of them would have died in there.
“We’re not dead!”
“We came out alive! We really came out alive!”
Some people hugged each other while weeping with joy. Then, more people hugged each other and burst into tears.
They cried for being alive and for their dead brothers and sisters.
When they entered the valley, there were a total of forty two people, including Jade. All of them were elite soldiers of Flying Eagles. Everyone had endured the abyss of blood and flame on the battlefields for a long time. However, when they came back, there were only thirteen people left.
Twenty nine comrades were stuck in Myriad Demon Valley forever. People who had not experienced these few days personally would not understand what these strong humans had experienced.
Alex, pulling Dorothy’s hand, took in this kind of atmosphere and state of mind without saying anything.
Meanwhile, Luna squatted next to Jade and said something.
“Brat, you’re quite capable! You actually know spell formation!”
Nora walked over and patted Alex’s shoulder as an apology for not trusting him earlier.
Alex brushed off her hand and snorted coldly. “I’m not acquainted with you.”
Nora’s hand froze for a moment. She laughed and sat down as well. “Lil’ spoiled brat, you have a bad temper! I’ll pay you back this favor that I owe you later.”
Alex looked at her, but he ignored her. He turned around to look at Jade and said, “Your injuries are severe. Let me take a look!”
It would not matter if he did not take a look at it. At a glance, only then did he realize that Jade’s injuries had reached a terrifying state. Not only was she poisoned, but her internal organs were damaged as well. There were many severely injured areas in the meridians and acupoints. He could not imagine at all why this woman could still be so brave earlier.
Did she really not know pain?
Jade stood up. “Let’s find a place. I have something to tell you, by the way.”
Alex nodded with a solemn expression. After informing Dorothy, he took Jade to a room in Kala Temple. When they walked halfway, Jade spat blood, and her body also fell limply.
Alex hurriedly held her waist and kept pouring the spiritual power from the Core Formation’s forbidden spell into her body. He said, “Your injuries are very severe! The internal organs have dislocated and are damaged. You even battled so savagely earlier. Do you really not care about your life?”
Jade said with a smile, “How rude. I’m your master, and you talk to me in such a tone?”
Alex pursed his lips and said, “Master, you haven’t taught me anything but have only been causing me trouble.”
She laughed happily.
The effect of Alex’s extraordinary spiritual power with healing properties on the injuries’ recovery was too noticeable.
When they walked into the room, Jade felt much better.
“Your medical skills have gotten better!” she said.
Alex grabbed her blood-stained wrist and checked her pulse.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1834
He checked her pulse for a full ten minutes. His expression was getting more serious. He took Jade’s other hand and continued checking her pulse.
It was much longer this time, a full fifteen minutes.
“Well?” Jade asked.
“It’s a huge problem!” Alex frowned and said, “The dislocated and damaged internal organs are not a great deal, but you’ve been poisoned for too long…”
Jade said, “Just tell me, am I going to die soon?”
She knew her condition well. When the monsters in Myriad Demon Valley besieged them, she, the commander of Flying Eagles, certainly had to bear the brunt. At that time, only she could rush to the front and share others’ burdens. Otherwise, the entire squad would have been annihilated ages ago.
She did not suffer from only one kind of poison, but there were many kinds dozens or even hundreds of poisons.
After fighting continuously for seven days, she did not have time to detoxify the poisons at all. As a result, the toxins blended to form a more powerful poison. Now, not only had it damaged Jade’s meridians and internal organs, but it had even rushed into the acupoints all over her body.
Alex shook his head. “You won’ t die, but… Your cultivation base will gradually decrease with the onset of the toxins. In the end, you’ll turn into… An ordinary person without any cultivation base.”
“An ordinary person?”
Jade smiled bitterly, but she said, “Alright. Actually, I’m quite tired and can’t fight anymore. It’s time… To let it go.”
She leaned on a chair and slowly closed her eyes. “In fact, someone once persuaded me a long time ago that I don’t have to be so stubborn to guard the force field. I alone can’t turn the tables on the matter of the ancient force field. The force field will be broken sooner or later. But, I always feel that it’d be great if it can be delayed for another day. At least, I can allow ordinary people to live longer happy and fortunate lives, right?”
Alex was touched.
He suddenly grabbed Jade’s hand and said, “Master, you’re a great hero! You’ve worked all these years. If you hadn’t insisted on bearing the cross for the others, perhaps, our country would’ve fallen ages ago! And, I probably wouldn’t even have the chance to be born. Rest assured, I’ll try my best to save you.”
Jade opened her eyes feebly. “You’re quite good at stirring up emotions.”
Alex said, “It’s the gratitude from the bottom of my heart.”
Alex had witnessed several great battles. Regardless of Rinwell Mathis, Ksitigarbha, the arhat Pindola, or Jade Benmore in front of him, all of them moved him. They deserved heartfelt admiration.
They were worth living in the world.
All of a sudden, Alex slowly kneeled before Jade.
Jade was startled. “What are you doing?”
Alex said seriously, “I remember that I haven’t formally become your disciple! To be frank, I had a beef with you before this. I thought you woman would bite the hand that feeds you and go to any lengths to keep me running errands for you.”
“What about now?”
“Now, I’ll officially acknowledge you as my master. Even if you can’t teach me anything, I want to learn the way of life from you.”
Jade shook her head. “I’m a failure in my life. Don’t learn from me.”
Alex said, “If you’re a failed human, you wouldn’t have become the only Five-star Warlord in America.”
Jade said, “This is just merit. If I had known how to be a proper human, I wouldn’t have… Divorced…”
“Huh?”
Alex was startled for a moment. “Master, you were married?”
Jade glared at him. “Is that strange?”
Alex shook his head and said, “It’s fine. I’ll look after you in the future. What I mean is… I’ll give you a pension. ”
Jade rolled her eyes. “How obedient!”
Then, Alex said, “Master, I just want to tell you that you people didn’t enter Myriad Demon Valley by accident, but it’s a deliberate deed by Colton Lawrence. He wanted all of you buried in Myriad Demon Valley so that he could seize the opportunity to take your place.”
“What? Colton Lawrence was the one who arranged it?” Jade abruptly straightened up and looked at Alex in astonishment. “From whom did you hear this?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1835
Jade Benmore’s expression instantly turned cold.
In Myriad Demon Valley, she had witnessed her subordinates die from exhaustion one after another. Even a few died while trying to save her. She was heartbroken whenever she thought of them.
To her surprise, now Alex just told her Colton Lawrence was the mastermind behind everything. If that were the case, she would kill Colton for sure.
Alex said, “Do you know Spencer Queen? Spencer Queen personally admitted to this matter.”
“Spencer Queen is one of the Three Heavenly Kings under the Left-wing Troop. Why did he tell you about this?”
“It’s because he thought that he couldn’t escape from my palm!”
Alex did not conceal it and recounted the incident between him and Michael Lawrence in the Flying Eagles Academy. Of course, he omitted the part where he got laid with the Fairy Doctor. He tried to play down this part by not saying anything. In the end, Alex talked about Colton, who asked Spencer to annihilate his entire family so that Colton could use his head as a blood sacrifice for Maxwell Lawrence.
Boom!
Upon hearing it, Jade slammed her palm on the table. She flew into a rage.
However, the seemingly inconspicuous wooden table did not take any damage. Associating the formation blueprint on the ground earlier, Jade frowned. ‘Could it be that my cultivation base had regressed to such a state that I can’t even break a dilapidated table?’
She was so furious that she slammed twice again. As a result, the table was fine, but she almost broke her palm.
Alex stopped her. “Master, why do you have a grudge against a table? Based on your current condition, you’re not so weak that you can’t even break a table. This has nothing to do with your strength because a certain rule protects every single thing here.”
“What is this place?”
“Kala Temple!”
Jade seemed to have heard about the place, Kala Temple. “Is it the last pure land of Buddhism where the ancient Great War of Six Paths broke out according to the legend? So this is it.”
After a pause, she immediately said, “The people out there suffer from severe injuries as well. Your medical skills are quite good. Go out and help to check on them! After testing for an hour, we’ll go look for Colton Lawrence.”
Alex asked, “Are you in such a hurry?”
Jade said, “The longer it takes, the weaker my power becomes.”
Alex nodded before going out. He was pleased to cause trouble for Colton. He would be sleepless and could not eat in peace if this person did not die. He even had to be on tenterhooks when he slept at night.
Soon after, Alex walked out of the room and set up a grand healing formation on open ground.
It was too slow to heal the people one by one. He was the descendant. of God of Medicine, the inheritor of the Ultimate Book of Medicine, who was armed with the Ancient Forbidden Spell of the Twelve Runes. If he could not even complete such a tiny matter, he would damage the reputation of his ancestors.
“Zharvakko Talisman Formation!”
“Rejuvenation!”
The formation was complete. Spiritual power enclosed the area where the spell formation was located, with pieces of divine Zharvakko talisman slowly flowing on it.
“All of you who need treatment, come in here!”
In the end, all Jade’s subordinates, including Nora, walked into the spell formation. These people had a good attitude toward Alex. After all, Alex used the teleportation circle to save them. Moreover, he was Jade’s disciple.
“What about my sister? How is she?” Nora asked as she leaned closer and patted his shoulder.
Alex wanted to brush her off, but he recalled Jade’s words earlier. Seeing her fully wounded body, the resentment in his heart disappeared as well. No matter how this woman treated him, she had been sacrificing herself for America.
She was a hero too.
Alex shook his head. “When the time comes, you can ask her yourself.”
Nora’s heart sank. She couldn’t care less about entering the healing formation, so she hurriedly went to the room to look for Jade.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1836
After that, Jason Moss and Juliette Thompson also came over to ask Alex Rockefeller about what was going on.
When Juliette found out that this teleportation circle in Kala Temple was coincidentally connected to Myriad Demon Valley and managed to rescue Jade Benmore and the others, she put her hands together and prayed to Ksitigarbha’s statue. “Thank you, Lord Ksitigarbha! I’m so glad your master is fine, Alex. Commander Benmore is the core of the entire Flying Eagles. She’s like a god in every soldier’s heart. If something had really happened to her, I can’t imagine what would have happened,” Juliette said.
“That isn’t Lord Ksitigarbha! Also, not every soldier thinks of Jade as a god. For example, Colton Lawrence doesn’t,” Alex said.
Meanwhile, Colton wasn’t loitering around either. He couldn’t get rid of the hypnotized state his son, Michael Lawrence, was in for the time being. He could only get a few of his subordinates to keep an eye on Michael if he started acting up and thoroughly destroying his manhood.
If that happened, the Lawrence family’s lineage would really come to an end.
For some reason, Colton had lost the ability to reproduce a long time ago. This was something no doctor could fix. However, he wasn’t focusing his attention on his son right now. Instead… He was thinking about how to take over the precious commander’s position in Flying Eagles!
It wasn’t that nobody else was competing against him. In reality, four people were fighting over this position. Colton was one of them.
Jonathan Ferris, the deputy general of the right-wing troop, was another.
The third was Jade’s trusted military counselor, Eleanor Curtis. Eleanor was also an expert with high-level cultivation.
The fourth was someone who came out of nowhere. This person’s name was Nash Youngblood. Although his details were unclear, one thing was certain. The American government had sent him here. Under Jade’s strict management, Flying Eagles had clearly gotten to a stage where it rivaled the American government in terms of its capabilities.
None of the other government departments could compare to Flying Eagles’ combined capabilities, especially in its battle powers.
Department Six, for example, was already the strongest force in the American government. However, any random subordinate of Jade could easily annihilate Department Six.
This wasn’t even a comparison on the same level. Hence, in the government, many people still had different opinions about Flying Eagles. Some felt that Flying Eagles had too much power and that their capabilities were so overwhelming that they could cause instability. Hence, they needed to find ways to weaken Flying Eagles, dismantle the organization, and assimilate the experts within to different departments in the government.
However, these ordinary people didn’t understand the laws of the experts’ world. Would someone with Spirit Severing cultivation listen to the orders of an ordinary human?
This was impossible.
Those who banded together to work for Jade were all attracted by her spirit, martial arts capabilities, and personality. They were willing to risk their lives for her to accomplish their profound objectives.
However, now that Colton had shared news about Jade and the others being dead, the superiors organized a meeting overnight to discuss upcoming arrangements for Flying Eagles… Just like how a country couldn’t function for a day without a king, the military couldn’t work for a day without a commander. If news spread to the lower ranks that Jade had fallen, there would be a great catastrophe.
Hence, they needed to decide on who would become the commander before this happened.
Colton departed with two of his subordinates. These two were none other than Left-wing Troop’s two Heavenly Kings. One of them was called Jim Granger, while the other was called Philip Jules.
“Haven’t you gotten in touch with Spencer Queen? Where did this fellow run off to?” Colton asked after getting into the car.
Jim laughed. “Hehe. Big boss, don’t you know what Spencer is like? At this moment, he’s probably messing around with women! I heard quite a few pretty ladies are surrounding Alex. Now that Madam had ordered him to capture someone, how could he let such a wonderful opportunity slide… If I’d known earlier, I would’ve gone with him!”
“Big boss, what did the government say this time? They brought this Nash Youngblood or something. I’ve never even heard of him. What does he do?” Philip asked.
“Pay no mind to this person. Those common folks in the government are too naive. Nash won’t live past this night! I’m definitely going to take over Jade’s position!” Colton exclaimed.
Little did Colton know, not only was Jade not dead, but she even made it out and was on her way to settle the debt with him.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1837
There was a teleportation circle in front of a huge stone tablet at Kala Temple. This was the correct pathway that sent people out to the ancient building at the bottom of the lake.
“Let’s go out! ” Alex Rockefeller tugged at Dorothy Assex’s hand as he spoke.
Dorothy was quite interested in this place, and she still wanted to look around. After all, this was the only remaining pure ground of Buddhism. There would surely be some treasures left behind!
“We’ll come again next time,” Alex said.
“Are you an idiot? People from Flying Eagles Academy have now discovered this place. They’d be the ones digging around. When the time comes, they’ll guard this place very strictly. Would we even get to enter?” Dorothy asked through telepathy.
Alex smiled mysteriously. “Don’t worry. They won’t enter Kala Temple again,” Alex replied telepathically.
That was because it’d be impossible to enter.
Dorothy looked at Alex suspiciously. However, there were too many people around them. Hence, she didn’t bring up her suspicions out loud.
Soon, everyone had left Kala Temple.
Alex was also no longer wearing Juliette Thompson’s charming long skirt. Instead, he obtained a set of clothes from one of the Flying Eagles’ experts.
Before leaving this ancient building by the lake in Kala Temple, Alex silently hummed a Buddhist song and cast a Buddhist secret spell at the stone tablet by the door.
In the next moment, something odd happened. There were suddenly sounds of explosions from the ancient building that concealed Kala Temple’s real entrance . The ancient building inside started collapsing.
“Oh, dear! What’s going on?”
“Why did Kala Temple explode?”
Many students of Flying Eagles Academy started exclaiming in surprise.
Jade Benmore and the rest were also greatly shocked and confused. They’d never seen anything like this. However, within a short moment, the entire ancient building exploded into pieces. It had become a patch of rubbles. The stone tablet of a hundred feet in height had also snapped into two, and the lake water’s barrier had also disappeared. Everyone was now immersed in the water.
“Can we still enter through that teleportation circle?” Jason Moss asked.
“Let’s have a look! ” Juliette said.
A group of people worked for quite some time to remove large boulders at the bottom of the lake, but they couldn’t find the entrance at all. It was as if the entrance never existed.
Dorothy couldn’t help but glance at Alex.
She recalled how the golden figure merged with him, and she seemed to have understood something.
Jade waved her hands. “If it’s gone, forget it. An ancient Buddhist pure ground like this has its own rules. Those who are not fated cannot find it.”
A few minutes later, a group of people charged out of the lake’s surface.
Setting foot on America’s soil once again felt like they had entered a different world to many people. This was especially the case for members of Flying Eagles who had been trapped in Myriad Demon Valley for more than a week. They had suffered so many near-death experiences. It was such a difficult period for them.
Meanwhile, students from the Flying Eagles Academy were glad that they got out alive. They were much more fortunate than those who were stuck in the dungeon forever.
Jade started calling names out after that. “Kingston, Leeroy, and June. You’ve suffered more serious injuries this time, and you don’ t have to come with me. Go back to Flying Eagles’ headquarters and deal with the necessary work. The rest of you, come with me to look for Colton. Alex, you’ll come with me too,” she said.
Alex looked at Dorothy. “Honey, why don’t you go home first? You’re carrying children, and you shouldn’t move around too much.”
Jade looked over and stared at Dorothy’s stomach. “Are you pregnant?”
In any case, Jade was the first Five-star Warlord in America. Now, she was even Alex’s master. Dorothy still respected her a lot. “They’re quadruplets!” Dorothy nodded and smiled.
“Huh? There are four of them!” Jade exclaimed.
Jade then walked up to Dorothy as if she was very intrigued. In fact, there was even a look of admiration in Jade’s eyes. Other people might not be able to understand what she was feeling. Due to her body’s unique condition, she never had her children despite having been married before. This was something she regretted in life.
Many people surrounded Dorothy and congratulated her.
Quadruplets were truly uncommon.
Jade patted Alex on the shoulder. “Good fellow, you’re amazing for getting four babies in one go! Alright, you don’t have to come with me. Protect your wife. Once I’m done dealing with Colton, I’ll look for you,” she said.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1838
Alex Rockefeller shook his head. “That won’t do, Master. Colton is powerful, and you… Need me,” he said.
“Don’t worry about me. I’m not a sick person. How about this? People at home must be very worried about your safety, as well as mine. I’ll head back first. Come and meet me on the ocean once you’re done,” Dorothy Assex said.
“Be careful!” Dorothy added before stomping one foot on the ground and propelling herself into the air.
She turned into a flaming beam of light. With her phoenix-like spanned wings, she flew east.
Luna Flores gaped. She was in so much shock that she couldn’t speak.
All this time, Luna had thought Dorothy’s cultivation was weaker than her own. That was because she did a background check on Dorothy before. Luna found out that Dorothy was the owner of an ordinary construction company. Dorothy had never displayed any outstanding martial arts capabilities in the past, and she was just an ordinary person.
When Luna met Dorothy at Kala Temple this time, she figured that Alex probably taught Dorothy a few things. At most, Dorothy would be like ordinary martial artists. Now, Luna finally understood that Dorothy had been concealing her capabilities!
Dorothy’s speed and skills were more than one level above Luna’s.
Even Jade Benmore and the rest were greatly shocked. ‘This disciple I randomly coerced under my care really doesn’t look like an ordinary person. Even his wife is such a top-notch expert. This white cat isn’t simple either. Could it be a demonic pet?’ Jade couldn’t help but wonder to herself.
Soon, the crowd dispersed.
Jade and the others, including Alex, added up to a group of eleven. They quickly made their way to the place where Oregon’s Lawrence family lived.
Everyone in the group was a formidable expert. They could be described as some of the most capable people in America.
Without needing any transport vehicle, they could fly in the air. In fact, the speed at which they moved even surpassed that of the speed of sound. They were practically supersonic airplanes made of human flesh. Even under broad daylight, nobody noticed them.
They traveled to the front door of the Lawrence family’s house.
Although half of the Lawrence family’s villa had collapsed, there were still people inside. Colton Lawrence’s wife, Michael Lawrence, and a few of his subordinates were all there.
Boom!
Nora Stewart kicked the door open and barged right in.
“Who is it? How dare you barge into the Lawrence family’s residence. Do you have a death wish?” Petunia Lawrence shouted.
After a short while, several subordinates of Colton rushed out.
Bang, bang, bang!
The three people with decent levels of cultivation were all sent flying.
“Get lost!”
Jade’s subordinates were all elites in Flying Eagles. Each of them was full of energy and vitality. On top of that, they’d been killing demon beasts in Myriad Demon Valley unceasingly during this period. Each of them killed demon beasts in the thousands. The murderous energy surrounding their bodies was undeniably the real deal.
When these people saw the faces of Jade and the others clearly, they were all stunned.
Their facial expressions filled with shock and fear!
Petunia also saw Jade. Of course, she knew who Jade was. In the end, she nearly jumped from fright. ‘What’s going on? Wasn’t Jade 100% dead in Myriad Demon Valley? Why is she alive and well in my house? This is bad. Mr. Lawrence is going to be in huge trouble.’ Petunia thought.
“Where is Colton Lawrence?” Nora asked coldly.
Before Petunia could speak, Jade suddenly dashed to the second floor at lightning speed and stopped a woman from escaping. “Sheela Jennings, give me an explanation.” Jade looked daggers at her and spoke.
In the next moment, everyone from Flying Eagles rushed over. They looked at the woman in disbelief.
“Sheela, didn’t you… Didn’t you die in Myriad Demon Valley? How are you here?” someone asked.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1839
Alex Rockefeller saw that this woman seemed to be in her thirties, and she looked rather attractive. However, there was a scent on her body that made him feel quite uncomfortable.
It smelled bloody.
Meanwhile, Sheela Jennings was someone who had died before Jade Benmore and others who were trapped in Myriad Demon Valley. But now that she appeared to be alive and well here, it raised a lot of suspicions.
Sheela had a terrible expression on her face. “Sister Benmore, I… I…”
Jade’s expression became increasingly cold. The more Sheela behaved this way, the more it proved that Jade’s guess was right. This was something Jade didn’t want to happen, and she couldn’t forgive Sheela for it. Jade recalled all the things Sheela had gone through. “Sheela, I hope to hear the truth. You aren’t someone like this in my heart. Why did you do it?”
Sheela’s body trembled, and tears started to stream down her face.
Suddenly, Sheela kneeled on the ground. “Sister Benmore, kill me! I’m too ashamed to be alive. I’m sorry for what I did to all of you. I’m sorry… For my brothers and sisters who died.”
Nora Stewart rushed over fiercely and grabbed Sheela by her collar. “It really was you! This was all you… Why? Why did you do such a thing? Twenty eight teammates, twenty eight lives. Also, my sister has turned into this. Do you think your death will absolve you? You didn’t only betray our twenty eight brothers and sisters, but you also betrayed the entire Flying Eagles and every citizen in America. Even if you die ten thousand times over, it won’t absolve you of your crime,” Nora yelled angrily.
Nora was indescribably furious. She started punching and kicking Sheela.
Sheela kneeled on the ground and didn’t fight back. She seemed determined to die.
Soon, her mouth and nose were covered in blood. However, Alex could sense that the bloody scent on her body had intensified. This wasn’t due to the blood on her mouth and nose. Instead, it was due to the blood flowing in her body.
This blood contained a very sinister, evil aura.
Right then, Sheela suddenly grabbed Nora’s hand just as Nora was enjoying the process of beating Sheela up. She then jabbed fiercely at Nora’s stomach.
Poof!
Nora hadn’t expected Sheela to attack her at this moment at all. Moreover, Sheela was way too fast.
It happened so quickly that Nora couldn’t react in time.
Sheela’s hand pierced through Nora’s stomach, and her entire hand appeared behind Nora’s back… No, that wasn’t a hand anymore. Instead, it was a dark red claw with ugly patterns and scales on it.
“Nora!” Jade shouted angrily and raised her hand like a sword.
Shuffle!
Jade cut Sheela’s arm off with a single strike.
Nora stumbled backward. Blood gushed out of the wound on her stomach.
Alex dashed forward at lightning speed and grabbed Nora by her waist. He conjured the Zharvakko talisman in his fingers and channeled it into her body. He then retrieved thundering needles to rapidly stop the bleeding before forcefully pulling the broken arm out of Nora’s stomach.
“Ahh!” Nora cried out painfully.
This pain was even more intense than the pain she felt when her stomach was pierced. That was because all her attention was focused on her lower abdomen now. Nora grabbed Alex by his hair. “You little brat. Is this your revenge? I’m already going to die. Why are you still torturing me like this?”
Alex opened his palm and pressed it against her wound.
“Someone who’s about to die can’t speak this fluently! Don’t worry. If I don’t want to let you die, you can’t die,” Alex said.
Alex kept channeling spiritual power from his golden core into her body. Nora’s wound was healing at a visible rate.
Meanwhile, Jade and the others got into a fierce battle. In the blink of an eye, they beat Sheela’s physical body into pulps. Sheela’s soul managed to escape. However, when everyone saw her soul, they were all shocked… She was no longer how she initially looked. Her soul had been tainted. Half of it was human, and the other half was a demon.
She had been transformed long ago.
“D*mn it!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1840
When Jade Benmore saw Sheela Jennings like this, she immediately understood everything. There was no need to ask any further. They had been set up from the beginning.
Sheela was the person responsible for path-seeking. She had a natural talent in directions and sensing danger. However, she had intentionally led everyone to Myriad Demon Valley. Meanwhile, her half-demon identity prevented her from being attacked by demon beasts.
Hence, her death was simply faked.
Boom!
Jade destroyed Sheela’s transformed soul with a single palm strike.
Jade then rushed over to Nora Stewart. “Nora, Nora! How are you?”
Nora’s eyes turned red, and she began to cry. “Sister, I won’t be able to fight with you anymore. Everyone, please take care. Even if I’m no longer around, the spirit of Flying Eagles must forever remain.”
“Nora…” Everyone else in Flying Eagles was also heartbroken.
Nora managed to escape death in Myriad Demon Valley. Nobody expected her to die here.
Right then, Alex touched Nora’s stomach. He then slapped it gently to make a sound. “You’re fine now,” he said.
“Huh..?”
“What do you mean I’m fine? There’s such a huge wound. Even my intestines…” Nora was shocked halfway through her sentence.
Where did the hole in her stomach go?
There was such a large wound. Why was it… Why couldn’t she feel anything?
Nora unbuttoned her shirt to bare her stomach. There were quite a lot of traces of blood on it, but the wound really had healed. Apart from her skin being slightly red and soft, everything else was normal. She also couldn’t feel any pain.
“You..?”
“How did you do it? ” Nora practically wondered if Alex was human. How could a human possibly do something like this?
Jade looked at Alex in relief. She then patted Alex in a masculine way. “Well done. With you around, I feel especially safe.”
Nora also started laughing as she wrapped her arms around Alex’s neck. “You little brat. Your medical skills really are outstanding. I owe you my life yet again. It looks like I’ll never be able to pay you back. How about repaying you with my body instead? I can become your wife!”
Alex quickly pushed Nora away. “Save it. I might perhaps consider it if you had a daughter,” he said.
Meanwhile, Petunia Lawrence was trying hard to call her husband, Colton Lawrence, on the phone.
Jade had returned, and she even saw through Colton and Sheela’s plot. Just thinking about what would happen next made Petunia’s head hurt This was likened to a failed rebellion in ancient times. Could something good come out of this? They’d be dead without a doubt.
However, Colton’s phone had been switched off. The two Heavenly Kings who went with him also switched off their phones.
This was the government’s order. Everyone participating in the meeting had to switch their phones off to avoid messages sent to outsiders and potentially disrupt the meeting.
Hence, Petunia couldn’t contact Colton.
Amidst the panic, Jade’s subordinate grabbed Petunia over. “Speak. Where is Colton Lawrence?”
Petunia shook her head. She refused to expose her husband’s location.
However, it didn’t matter. Right then, Jade received a message from Leeroy, who had just returned to the headquarters. She found out that the government officials had organized a high-level meeting. A few people were discussing who would take her place.
Colton stood the most excellent chance of doing so.
