The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1971
Stuart got up and ran back.
At that moment, a single ripple caused waves to be stirred up.
“What? That’s Jade Benmore? How is she so young?”
“Isn’t Jade Benmore supposed to be useless? I heard that she’s been poisoned so badly that she’s crippled and has already died quietly in some random place on earth.”
“That’s right. Jade hasn’t shown up for a long time. That’s not her. Forget about how her cultivation base is now gone. Even if it hadn’t, there’s no way she’d be able to reverse the age of her body.”
Everyone was talking over each other, trying to be heard.
Darnic Young’s expression changed continuously. He had just taken the position of commander in Flying Eagles, was full of grit, and had reached the pinnacle of his life. In just a short few days, he had already enjoyed the benefits of having the power and authority in his hands. He had also brought the Young family to an unprecedented height, and he naturally did not want to surrender what power he had so quickly.
He would never allow anyone to take his position.
Therefore, even if the one standing in front of him were really Jade Benmore, he would find ways to crush her thoroughly. It would be best to kill her where she stood so that no one else would be able to wrestle away the position of the Flying Eagles’ commander from him.
“Impossible! I have gotten news that Jade Benmore has been poisoned and has since died. This woman is not Jade Benmore!”
“She must be an impostor. An impersonator with ulterior motives!”
“Humph! All of you, not only have you banded together to kill my son, kill my Protector, now you’re even planning to kill me, the commander of Flying Eagles! You guys just want to take over the entire country!”
Darnic roared and then pointed at the people of Flying Eagles and said, “All of you, listen to my orders! Take action, kill them all!”
In the next instant, all the masters from Flying Eagles rushed forward and launched an assault on Alex and the rest.
Alex was struggling at this moment.
To protect Geronimo Melvis while fending off so many attacks, even with his unusual cultivation path that could kill a Nascent Soul in seconds, he was still handicapped right now. It was fortunate that Jade moved and blocked off most of the attacks launched at him.
Jade had already said she would kill anyone who made a move against Alex.
However, she had also been Flying Eagles’ commander for thirty years and had a deep affection for them. So, she didn’t really want to hurt any of the members of Flying Eagles.
As a result, in a moment of inattention, Alex was distracted, and Geronimo was struck in his abdomen. A knife slashed across his body, and his intestines poured out.
Alex hurriedly moved to treat Geronimo while roaring, “Master, how much longer are you going to play around? That Young guy sincerely wants your life so that he can sit on Flying Eagles’ throne, can’t you see that?!”
“These people from Flying Eagles are completely different from Butcher and Bunty. They have long since been corrupted!”
“Do you want us all to die here?!”
Jade made a firm decision, then opened her hand to summon a golden sword and shouted, “This is the Severing Demon Sword, are there any who still doubt that I’m Jade Bemnore? All of you, back down! Otherwise, don’t blame me for not showing mercy.”
Someone shouted immediately, “Oh, that’s really the Severing Demon Sword!”
“It’s Commander Benmore’s sword! There can be no mistake!”
“Then, she’s really Commander Benmore?”
With everyone clamoring and shouting ‘Commander Benmore’, Darnic’s eyebrows twitched wildly. Jade Benmore was no longer the leader of Flying Eagles, but everyone was calling her as though she was. Then, what was he? Some substitute?
“Jade Benmore is dead. This woman just used her appearance and accessories, and it’s easy to pretend to be her. I’m the commander of Flying Eagles now, and I order all of you to kill these rebels!”
In the next instant, the officials in Flying Eagles and Darnic’s cronies began to attack wildly. As a result, some of the people, who had yet to make up their mind, went with the flow and joined them.
Jade’s eyes flashed. “Kill!”
Whoosh!
A murderous aura swept across the sky. The scene below suddenly quieted down.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1972
Limbs were cut off, and multiple heads rolled on the ground that was filled with blood everywhere the eye looked.
Jade Benmore’s sword had killed more than twenty people. The scene was deadly silent.
Darnic Young was not dead, but his entire body trembled. He felt the fear of death deep within himself. He was the patriarch of the Young family, born into a line of military, and was also a government official with a high position. However, how long has it been since the country has been at war? Other than the war in the ancient boundary, there had almost not been any major battle that had taken place in the normal planes of the country.
Also, he had never stepped foot into the ancient boundary.
He had also never faced the experience of going against a cultivator who stood at the pinnacle of humankind. Darnic had always held great malice toward the female commander, Jade Benmore, and tried his best to replace her… Last time during the commander selection meeting, he had been the one to instigate it and took the position for himself.
However, at this moment, he truly understood the terror that was Jade Benmore.
Stuart looked at Jade in shock, unable to believe that she dared to kill someone.
Each of these people was representative of the government families and held powerful forces behind them. If all the forces behind these families were to be added up, even the general manager of the country would be jealous of the power they held.
“Jade, are you crazy?!”
“Do you know the consequences of doing this?”
Stuart pointed at the pile of corpses on the ground. “These are all talented cultivators that the super big families in the country have trained with their blood and tears and were the pillars of the country’s future! Now that you’ve killed them with one blow, their families will go nuts!”
Jade roared with laughter.
Her laugh shook the huge trees that surrounded them.
“Just rubbish like these, and they’re worthy of being called pillars of the country’s future?” Jade stared at Stuart. “Tell me, what have they done for the people of this country? How many monsters have they killed or foreign enemies? Humph, none, right? I think that these people don’t even know where the ancient boundary is, right?”
“The country does not need insignificant ants who only know how to curry favor! The same goes for you!”
“So what if I, Jade Benmore, decides to kill them? Who can do anything to me?”
Jade cut an imposing figure, and she looked grandeur. Her words resounded around them. Stuart didn’t even dare to look at her directly.
At this moment, Jade reached out in the air and pulled Darnic over. “Darnic Young, since you’ve taken the commander seat in Flying Eagles, then you need to be worthy of the name! If you’re not and only know how to use your power for personal gain, then I will come after you again. When the time comes, you will have no chance!”
She tossed Darnic away after that and said to Alex, “Let’s go!”
Alex picked up Geronimo, giving Darnic a long look before turning and leaving the Young family with Jade.
Alex was sorely tempted to run Darnic through with his sword. He was the one who had ordered for his grandfather to be arrested and had gotten Anna killed. He would temporarily put this debt to one side and come to collect it in the future.
Darnic was now Flying Eagles’ commander, and he held the highest level of authority. Killing him in the presence of so many people would just be attracting big trouble.
Jade would not allow him to do it either, but he could do it secretly.
***
Boom!
It seemed that the moment Alex and Jade had left the Young family residence, Darnic slammed his palm on the table, shattering the table as well as the bowls and utensils on it.
His strength was not inadequate.
However, looking at the ground that had dozens of corpses littered on it, as well as the deep scars on the ground left behind by Jade’s sword, it was apparent who had the superior strength here.
“Humph, this Jade Benmore. She thinks just because her cultivation base is high that she’s invincible in this world and can do whatever she wants in America. Either way, the country belongs to us officials, and she’s just an insignificant woman.”
“An abandoned woman!”
Stuart looked at Darnic and whispered, “Commander Young, you should keep your voice down. This woman, Jade, is terrifying. She may still be able to hear you, and if she hears you calling her an abandoned woman, she might go crazy.”
Darnic fell silent as soon as he heard it.
It took a while before he spoke again, “I’m Flying Eagles ’ commander. Do I need to fear her? The Flying Eagles have always been a functional department of the government of America. She’s just been allowed to be commander of them for a few years. Does she really think she owns the department now? We’re the ones making the decisions still, and she’s just a lackey following orders.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1973
Stuart’s cultivation base was high, and he was well aware of things that happened in the ancient boundary. However, he was also a speculator. His ambition was not small, and he also wanted to become Flying Eagles’ commander.
It was a pity that he came from a humble background, and his strength in Flying Eagles was not outstanding. Using ordinary ways, it was impossible for him to sit on the Flying Eagles’ throne…
However, with Darnic Young as the commander, he had a chance. As long as he could control Darnic, didn’t that equate to holding the lord and controlling his vassals?
That was why he needed to make sure that Darnic sat firmly on the throne and retained the position of commander.
Darnic chose this moment to say, “Stuart, go and investigate everything you can on Geronimo’s grandson. My son will not have died in vain. This b*stard must die!”
“Commander, there’s no need for that,” Stuart said. “I know. His name is Alex Rockefeller, and he’s also Jade Benmore’s disciple.”
“Wait, Alex Rockefeller? Why does the name sound so familiar?” Darnic said.
“Recently, there’s been an uproar in the international community. Many countries have put pressure on America to hand over Alex. I think the person who caused an uproar in Japan is none other than Alex.”
When Darnic heard this, he was stunned. “He was really the one to destroy Mount Fuji?”
The thought that crossed his mind was that if Alex used the same means, he had destroyed Mount Fuji on the Young family, wouldn’t that be extremely terrifying? It would be hard to say, at night while they were sleeping, there might be a ‘boom’, and the entire Young family would be gone.
This person was just too terrifying.
He couldn’t simply let this person roam freely, and Darnic needed to get rid of him as soon as possible. Very quickly, he thought of a brilliant strategy.
He glanced at the corpses that littered the ground and said, “These people, who were originally disciples of the big families, came to Flying Eagles with good intentions and wanted to serve the country. It was unexpected that they would die at the hands of their compatriots before they could even contribute on the battlefield… Stuart, go and inform their families. Get them to come and collect the bodies!”
Stuart’s eyes lit up. “Yes, Commander!”
Soon, the calls were made.
Families of the twenty plus bodies turned up and got the bad news. At the same time, it could be said that all the higher-ups of the country were furious.
These prominent families of officials immediately sent personnel to the Young family residence. They found that the outside of the residence still had the white lanterns and wreaths hung up for the birthday party that was held early.
Once they stepped further in, it was a bloodied scene that greeted them.
No one had cleaned up the bodies littered on the ground. The scene was horrible.
“Ahhh!”
“My son!”
A noblewoman threw herself on the body of a young man in his thirties and cried loudly. This woman wasn’t any simple commoner. She was the daughter-in-law of the Levine family in the Imperial Capital. The Levine family wasn’t that high up in the ranks, but they still held great influence.
“Who was it? Who was the one who murdered my son?!”
“I don’t care who it was. They must pay with their lives!”
Immediately afterward, the families of the deceased came one by one. Cries echoed through the sky above the Young family residence, and bloodlust filled the area.
Everyone was chasing after Darnic, asking him who the murderer who had done this was?
Darnic sighed and said, “With things like this, I’m unable to continue to hide this from everyone. The one who killed these people is the former commander of Flying Eagles, Jade Benmore!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1974
“What?!”
“Jade Benmore?! Didn’t she die from poisoning? How could she have killed them?”
“Is it because that woman has been robbed of her position as Flying Eagles’ commander, so she was angry and frantic and came here to go on a killing spree?”
“How dare she! I always thought that she was a responsible and just woman, it turns out that it was all a lie! She put on a front for the people. She’s killed so many of us. Even her death will not be able to assuage her guilt!”
The people who had come here were basically families of those from the government. These people usually sat on their high horses and didn’t place any significance on others in their eyes. Though they also had some knowledge of the happenings in the ancient boundary, it didn’t raise their respect toward Jade.
The daughter-in-law from the Levine family turned to Darnic with red-rimmed eyes and said, “Commander Young, you’re now Flying Eagles’ commander. All our sons who have died are your subordinates! There’s a murderer on the loose in a time of peace, going around killing people as they please. Aren’t you going to lead your people to bring Benmore to justice?”
“Jade Benmore has a lot of achievements under her belt,” Darnic said. “Regardless of whether they are true or false, they are all registered with the Chief. Moreover, this person is amazingly powerful, and ordinary people aren’t her opponents at all. What more, when she left, she also took with her several powerful masters. With all of them gathered together, they’re a force to be reckoned with. Oh, unless…”
“Unless what?”
“Unless the Chief gives the order to send armed troops to suppress her!”
“That will not be a problem. We will contact all thirty six families and hold the Grand Conference.”
***
On the other side, Jade and Alex brought Geronimo Melvis back to the Melvis family first.
They didn’t know that Darnic was uniting countless families with important influences and planned to hold a Grand Conference and force the Chief to issue an order to form a crusade against Jade.
It was only this moment that Alex discovered Nickolas Dyer, who had worked diligently in the Melvis family for decades, was dead.
This old man had once saved Brittany and her mother and also had cancer some time ago. It had taken considerable effort for Alex to save him, and it was unexpected that he would be beaten to death just a few months after.
“Oh, Flying Eagles are so shameless. They actually acted so ruthlessly toward a weak man.”
“What’s the use of having a department with people like this?”
Jade’s face was flushed, and it felt as though she had been slapped in the face. She had founded Flying Eagles. But, she had only been focused on the battlefield.
Logistics, military laws, ideologies, and everything else she had not bothered to participate in. Rather, she didn’t have the time to actually participate in them. The officials of the country were basically the ones in charge of this…
She didn’t expect that there would be so many scums within Flying Eagles.
Jade felt a bit awkward when she said, “Alex, you can’t say it like that. There are also a lot of good people in Flying Eagles.”
Alex shook his head. “Master, I believe that there are good people in Flying Eagles, like Brother Butcher, Sister Bunty; these people are worth everyone’s respect. But among the troops in there, other than the ones who have followed you through thick and thin, there haven’t been many other good ones that I’ve seen.”
“Think about it, the left-wing troop of the Lawrence family. Their entire team has become part of the Blood Cult.”
“The things I saw today were worse than what bandits would have done. Master, Flying Eagles is rotten to the roots.”
“Like an apple, once half of it has turned rotten, how long can the other half last? Even if it’s not rotten now, it will slowly be swallowed and taken over by the rotten part.”
Jade fell silent, unable to say anything else.
Then, Alex gave Brittany a call to tell her that Nickolas had passed on.
Brittany was shocked and immediately said that she would come over to pay her last respects to him.
***
Nickolas had stayed in the Melvis family all his life. To the Melvis family, he was considered a part of their family.
Alex was grateful for the life-saving grace Nickolas had shown his mother and grandmother and hoped to give him a grand funeral.
Geronimo readily agreed to it. Even Lexia Rogers had nothing to say against it.
The funeral hall was set up in Melvis Manor the same day.
On the other side…
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1975
Ted Summers from the Divine Constabulary gave Alex a call and said in a low voice, “Alex, Anna’s family has already heard the bad news. But, her body…”
Anna had spent quite a significant amount of time serving southern California’s Divine Constabulary and had a good relationship with her teammates there. When something like this happened to her, everyone felt sad.
The news, even more, saddened the members of her family. Anna’s mother cried and fainted several times since the news had broken.
Alex also felt a pang of sadness when he thought of Anna.
He whispered, “In that case, come with me to Michigan’s Coleman family tonight. I’ll talk to them in person and explain the situation about Anna.”
Ted nodded. “Okay.”
Three hours later, Brittany had rushed over to the Melvis residence in the Imperial Capital.
Last time, Brittany and Alex had a complete fallout with the Melvis family and had never revisited. For this reason, Geronimo also felt extremely disappointed towards Lexia and felt like leaving the Imperial Capital for a time.
As for Lexia, she had finally realized that the mother-son pair were standing at a height that was much higher than their Melvis family, and there was deep regret in her.
This time, when she saw Brittany again, Lexia’s attitude was much better. Her posture was very small.
However, Brittany didn’t care much about it. Nickolas’s death saddened her.
Alex accompanied his mother and stayed in the funeral hall for a while before leaving in a rush from the Imperial Capital to Michigan.
***
At 8 pm, Alex arrived and met up with Ted at the entrance of the Coleman family residence. They walked in together and met Anna’s parents.
Ted helped introduce Alex to them. “This is Alex, Anna’s master. He’s also an elder in the Divine Constabulary, and Elder Alex is the one… Who has taken Anna’s body.”
Anna’s family was naturally aware of his existence. Anna’s mother said with tears in her eyes, “Elder Alex, my daughter is gone now. Please, return her body… to me. Let me… Let me see her for one last time.”
As she said that, she covered her mouth, and tears flowed freely from her eyes.
Alex considered for a while before he said, “Actually, I want to explain to you about Anna’s situation right now.”
“What?”
“What do you mean? Could it be… There isn’t even a body?”
Alex shook his head. “It’s true that Anna’s physical body can’t be resurrected. At least, at this moment, it seems that her body has completely lost its vitality, but her soul is still here.”
“Uh..?”
“What does it mean that her soul is still here? Has she become a ghost?”
“Are you joking? How is there such a thing as ghosts in this world?”
Although the Coleman family was a martial arts family, they did not know anything about the cultivation world and could not understand the implications of a soul not dispersing.
Ted knew a little more than them and hurriedly asked, “Elder Alex, do you mean that there’s still a chance for Anna to be saved?”
Alex nodded. “You can put it that way. How about this? I’ll show you her current state now.”
Having said that, he activated his divine power and reached into his mind palace to pull out the Soul Collection Coffin.
Boom!
A coffin fell to the ground.
Everyone in the Coleman family was stunned, dumbfounded, and tongue-tied at the scene.
Alex had pulled out such a massive coffin from his temples…
‘What kind of supernatural magic was this?!’
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1976
“Elder Rockefeller, this is…”
Even Ted was dumbfounded and was unable to speak for a long time.
Alex said, “This Soul Gathering Coffin is a very powerful magic treasure…You guys don’t need to care what it is for now. Just know that Anna is lying inside this Soul Gathering Coffin now. Her soul will not be destroyed, and it can also help her dissipate her soul power and reunite it.”
As he was speaking, he opened the lid of the coffin. Inside the huge coffin was Anna, who laid quietly. Before coming, Alex had already tidied up her remains and changed her into clean clothes, and now she, looking as if she was asleep, did not look like a corpse at all.
“Anna, Anna!”
Anna’s mother, lying on the edge of the Soul Gathering Coffin, called out softly.
However, there was definitely no response.
Tears flowed out of her eyes as she looked at Alex and said, “Is there any hope of her coming back to life?”
Alex nodded. “I promise. Anna will come back one day.”
The only thing was, he was not very sure how long it would take.
At least, this gave Anna’s closest relative a hope to look forward to.
***
After the Coleman family finished paying their last respect, Alex retrieved the Soul Gathering Coffin.
The length of the Soul Gathering Coffin was more than three meters long and one meter wide, with a variety of strange runic patterns carved on the outside. Despite seeing that Alex could fit this coffin into his eyebrows, everyone still felt this feat was incredible once again.
Anna’s father asked, “Then… Will this funeral still be held?”
The Coleman family had set up the funeral hall before, and the news had also spread, so there would soon be relatives and friends coming over to offer condolences, but now…
Anna’s mother immediately shouted, “What is there to be held? You are really deaf. Our daughter is still alive, do you want to curse her? There is no funeral. Take down all those white cloths and white lanterns.”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
“Call your relatives and friends and say that it was a mistake just now. Our Anna is still alive, only seriously injured and sent abroad for treatment.”
Then, one by one, they all looked at Alex eagerly.
“Master Rockefeller, you must save our Anna!”
“Anna is really a good child. She is the pride of our Coleman family!”
“As long as Anna can come back to life, we are willing to sacrifice anything.”
At this moment, Alex received a lot of hopeful messages. After thinking about it, Alex walked up to the Coleman family’s old master and said, “Mr Coleman, I feel very sorry for what happened to Anna, too. I also have a responsibility that I cannot shirk for letting her face this situation now.”
The old man was not young and did not look well. He had an exhausted expression. Waving his hand, he sighed. “Elder Rockefeller, there is no need to apologize. From the time Anna entered the Divine Constabulary, we have actually been mentally prepared. We have advised her before whether it is really inappropriate for a girl to do such a dangerous job, but she is born with a sense of justice. There is nothing we can do. It is her own choice of path. We, as a family, can only support her quietly.”
It could be seen that Mr. Coleman was very understanding and righteous.
Under his governance, the Coleman family members were also very harmonious with each other.
Alex flipped his hand and took out an elixir.
This was an enhanced version of the rejuvenation pill, in which the energy of the golden pellet formed by the ancient forbidden arts was added, as well as a little bit of divine power, which could not only cure illnesses and strengthen the body, but also increase the life span by twenty years.
“Old Master, I see that you are not in good health now. At this rate, you may not last more than two years.”
Hearing that, everyone in the Coleman family was sad for a while.
On the contrary, the old man smiled and said, “People will eventually die. I have lived for eighty three years. I have lived long enough. There is nothing to worry about”
Alex said, “I have an elixir here. You should take it. If you take it, you can still live for twenty more years.”
“What? Twenty more years of life, is there still such a divine pill in the world?”
Everyone from the Coleman family was shocked. But when they thought of Alex’s ghostly and unpredictable methods, they felt that it might be true.
The old man was also excited.
Who wouldn’t want to live a few more years?
However, when he thought about how precious a heaven defying pill might be, he shook his head. “I don’t deserve this, Elder Rockefeller. It’s better to put it away!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1977
“Take it, don’t reject this. This kind of elixir is not particularly rare for me, and I hope that the next time Anna wakes up, you will still be standing in front of her healthily.”
This time, without waiting for the old man to speak, Alex tossed the elixir to him. With a shake of his hand, a mysterious packet that was wrapped around the pill, forced its medicinal power out and turned into a ball of energy that drilled through Elder Coleman’s nostrils, and then spread to the meridians of his entire body.
The crowd saw this with their own eyes. His body became more robust and healthier at speed visible to the naked eye.
His face glowed brightly, his eyes had a sparkle, and even his hair, which was all white, had darkened considerably.
“Ah…”
“Father, his hair… Has actually turned black. This is amazing.”
“Look, guys, all of a sudden, he seems to be a few dozen years younger. It’s incredible.”
“It’s really a divine intervention!”
At this moment, the Coleman family’s admiration for Alex was like the water of Missisipi River, heaving non-stop.
Soon, with Alex’s help, Elder Coleman finished absorbing the medicinal power. At this time, his Chi suddenly moved in his body. A crackling sound of bone popping was heard. His aura became different all of a sudden, like a sword being sheathed. His eyes emitted a brilliant light.
“Patriarch?!” Ted exclaimed.
The old man also laughed out loud. “I never thought that I, Holden Coleman, would have the day to advance to the rank of Patriarch. It’s really unimaginable!”
After saying these words, he bowed toward Alex and said respectfully, “Thank you for Master Rockefeller’s grace. I will never dare to forget it.”
Alex smiled.
A mere clan master, to him, had long been out of sight.
Now in the Rockefeller Manor, in addition to the still young Winnifred, there was almost no one whose strength was below the sect master. Even his mother-in-law, Claire, was forced by Dorothy to raise her cultivation. Although fighting was not expected, it was impossible for ordinary people to bully her.
At this moment, there was a sudden roar outside the door. It seemed that something had been kicked through.
Immediately after that came an explosive shout, “Holden Coleman, you old immortal, get out of here!”
The sound was very loud and echoed throughout the Coleman family. Soon, a Coleman family’s son with a bloodied face ran in, “Grandpa, not good. Someone is rushing in.”
“Who is it?”
The leader of the Coleman family‘s face was cold. He had just happened to be promoted to master now, and someone was now rushing in. Wasn’ t this just the right time to sharpen his sword?
Right after he spoke, a shadow flew in.
At first glance, it was a junior of the Coleman family. He fell heavily to the ground, but his head and neck were at bizarre angles.
This person was already dead.
“My boy, my boy…”
A woman from the Coleman family let out a cry and pounced on the corpse.
That junior, who was under twenty years old, was actually killed.
“Who… Who the hell is it?”
“Anyone who dares to kill my grandson, I will make sure that blood will be shed!”
At this moment, an old woman walked in and said with a strange smile, “It‘s me! Holden Coleman, do you still remember the old lady?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1978
The old woman who came in had white hair, and her face was full of wrinkles. With a crutch in her hand, her age was about the same as Holden’s…
No, now after Holden took the rejuvenation pills given by Alex, his appearance had changed significantly. He looked like he was fifty or sixty years old. In contrast, this old woman could be seventy or eighty years old.
The most chilling was that there was a very deep and long scar on her face. It was as if she was just injured, and the scar scab had not yet fallen.
One glance and one would think that those were centipedes lying from the corner of her eye to the corner of her mouth.
The Coleman family was now about to go crazy with anger.
Originally Anna’s accident had made everyone psychologically hurt. Luckily, Alex brought some good news, saying that Anna still had a chance of resurrection. Therefore, the Coleman family just went outside to remove the white cloth and white lanterns. They did not expect after taking those down, a grandchild would be killed.
This time, this grandchild was really dead.
Alex looked at him. Even his soul was gone, which meant he was truly dead.
There was no chance of salvation. That meant they needed to rehang the white cloth and white lanterns, which were just taken down.
Was there anything more painful and desperate than this?
Alex looked at the old woman with a look of shock and anger. As he looked at this woman, he realized the aura on her body was a bit odd. She was neither kind nor evil. But, there was strange spiritual energy with some uncomfortable feeling.
“Who are you? I don’t even know you!” Holden’s eyes seemed to spew fire as he said coldly, “But you killed my grandson for no reason. I tell you, today, I will kill you!”
“You don’t know me, you say?” The old woman laughed loudly. “However, I am thinking of you, Holden, all the time, thinking of you, thinking of when I can kill you! ”
Anna’s father, Lewandowski Coleman, asked gravely, “Dad, you really don’t know her?”
Holden answered, “I don’t. I haven’t seen her before at all.”
At this moment, the old woman made a heavy thump with her cane and said, “Holden, it seems that you have lived a comfortable life in the past fifty years, accompanied by your children and grandchildren. Good, then I will kill your children and grandchildren, one by one, I will kill them in front of you. I think that feeling must be very good, right?”
Lewandowski shouted angrily, “Old woman, I think you are crazy.”
The old woman asked, “Am I mistaken? Isn’t your father‘s name Holden Coleman? Or, is your father’s name Byron Jaret?”
When Holden heard Byron Jaret’s name, it was as if he recalled a past event. He scanned the old woman left and right and asked in surprise, “You are… Eunice Murphy?”
“Hahahahaha, Holden, at last, your eyes are not blind, and you recognize me!” The old woman’s face was full of hostility. “So, do you have any last words to say? But forget it, you don’t need to say anything because your family will accompany you on the road to hell.”
Lewandowski asked, “Dad, do you know her? Who is she?”
Holden did not say a word.
The old woman spoke first, “Holden, you don’t dare to spill it? Then, I’ll tell them. I’m your father’s first wife.”
“What?!”
When the members of the Coleman family heard this, they were all stunned.
However, Holden soon gave a ‘bah’. “Eunice, I think you are really shameless. Do you still have the face to say these things of the past? Do you think you were very honorable in the past?”
Eunice shouted sternly, “What was so dishonorable about me?”
The Coleman family asked what was going on.
Holden exclaimed, “Well, since you are not dead and have appeared again, and you want to come and kill my whole family, then I will simply make things clear and understandable! Listen carefully. This woman is called Eunice Murphy, who once was indeed my wife. But, she did not abide by women’s morals and had a rendezvous with another wild man in the cowshed, and I caught her red-handed!”
Then, the Coleman family looked at Eunice with incomparable contempt and disgust.
Holden continued, “That was more than fifty years ago. Back then, adultery was a major crime. The man whom she fornicated with was tied up and beaten to death by the Red Guard! Eunice, Byron’s death was completely caused by the two of you. He deserved to die, but you were also responsible. On what basis do you resent me?”
Alex and Ted stood on the side like spectators watching a show.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1979
These were decades of an old feud. Since they were outsiders, it was not appropriate to intervene now. Eunice sneered, “These are bullshit and sophistry! Byron was originally my lover. We were childhood sweethearts. We had a private life. It was you who…You were the one who forced my father to marry me to you, breaking up Byron and me. You are the culprit.”
Holden shook his head. “If I had known that you were already having a premarital affair with Byron, I would never have married you. Poor me, I was gullible enough to believe your bullshit, to believe you that the cave did not turn red because of the dance. I was stupid. That was why I married you, a sl*t.”
Eunice was furious. She whipped her cane and made a hole in the floor tiles. “Holden, today, no matter what you say, your Coleman family will be exterminated! Back then, I jumped off the cliff but survived. Then, I had an amazing encounter and became a disciple of Yorkshire Palace. This is a god-given opportunity for me to take revenge. Today, the Coleman family will be exterminated.”
Holden’s aura burst and the sect master realm was displayed.
Eunice laughed loudly. “Patriarch? In my eyes, that’s just as powerful as an ant!”
She tapped her cane.
The cane went into the gromid a little and then flew up, slapping Holden with a palm.
Holden shouted coldly, “Dragon Tusk Punch! ”
Boom!
There was a loud sound, and a burst of powerful Chi shot out. Immediately afterward, Holden’s body was like a kite with a broken string and was sent flying away.
While Holden was in mid-air, he spurted a mouthful of blood.
The difference between the two was noticeable. However, Eunice had no mercy and immediately rushed up again quickly.
At this moment, Lewandowski came from the side and blocked the move for his dad.
However, Holden, the Grandmaster, was no match for Eunice, let alone Lewandowski, a martial artist who hadn’t even reached ground level.
Eunice backhanded and brought her palm down. She wanted to kill Lewandowski.
The point was, Lewandowski seemed to lose control of his whole body as Eunice’s palm came down, and he became confused as he waited to be killed.
At this moment, Alex took action.
He dashed in front of Lewandowski, reached out to catch Eunice’s hand, and said, “Old lady, I overheard your conversation in general. Judging by the content of your speech, it seems that you are the one who is at fault! No matter how good you used to be with your childhood friend, you should no longer sneak around with your former man… Okay, I won’t talk too much about love relationships, but you want to destroy the Coleman family now. Isn’t that a little too cruel?”
Eunice frowned. “Who are you?”
Alex answered, “You don’t need to care who I am. I am just trying to be fair.”
Eunice roared, “Then, you will die with the Coleman family!”
Her eyes fiercely glared.
Alex felt a cursed power in her eyes.
However, he had the divine power protecting his body, so he was not afraid of curses at all.
Immediately, a fist was thrown. A loud noise was heard. It hit Eunice’s chest heavily. Eunice flew three meters away alongside the sound, and a jade pendant fell out from her clothes, bouncing on the ground before landing right next to Alex’s feet.
Alex fixed his gaze upon this jade pendant, and it was so familiar. Then, he suddenly reacted. Wasn’t this the jade pendant he gave to Zendaya for protection?
‘How could it be in this woman’s hand?’
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1980
Alex picked up the jade pendant and found that although there was no longer his bloodline mark on it, the formation was engraved by his hand. So, there would be no mistake.
This, too, was the reason why Alex did not sense this jade pendant at first.
Swish!
Alex rushed toward Eunice in the blink of an eye. Lifting her, he asked, “Say, where did you get this jade pendant from?”
His voice was cold, and the murderous intent forced a burst of aura that caused Eunice’s body to jolt.
How could she have never thought that there would be such a powerful man in this realm?
She had returned to this place with great difficulty. Initially, she thought she could roam the world and be invincible but now ended up being ruthlessly slapped in the face. She hadn’t even killed a few people, and her great revenge hadn’t even been avenged yet. But, she ended up like a chicken in the hands of the man in front of her.
”Spill!”
“If you don’t tell me, I will give you a taste of what it’s like to beg for your life and to die!”
Alex’s voice sounded as if he was from hell.
Not only Eunice felt frightened, but even the Coleman family members and Ted, who were next to him, also felt an involuntary chill down their spines, stunned by Alex’s dense to frightening murderous intent.
Ted asked, “Elder Rockefeller, this… What happened?”
Alex glared at Eunice and did not speak.
Eunice trembled and said, “I… I picked it up from the streets.”
Boom!
Alex smashed her to the ground.
The ground now had a big crater. Luckily this old woman’s cultivation was not weak, as she reached the core formation. Otherwise, she would have been smashed to death.
“You’re lying!”
Alex instantly knew that she was not telling the truth and immediately pointed at Eunice’s eyebrow and used his Soul Banishing Touch fiercely.
As Alex’s cultivation level was high and his spiritual power skyrocketed, his Soul Banishing Touch also rose, and it was many times stronger than when he first used it before.
Eunice let out a miserable scream a mere two seconds later, trembled all over, and even foamed at the mouth. This kind of torture resembling the tearing of the soul was not something ordinary people could endure.
The Coleman family’s hair stood up and was full of horror after hearing that sound.
“I’ll speak, I’ll speak!”
Eunice couldn’t stand it anymore and pleaded loudly. She realized very clearly that if this torture continued, she would probably become crazy and turn into a psychopath.
Alex lifted his Soul Banishing Touch, “Speak, quickly!”
Eunice said, “It was taken from a woman who was dying.”
“A dying woman?”
Alex’s heart shook again. “Tell me clearly, which dying woman? Did you kill her?”
Eunice was not a fool. Alex was so nervous and crazy. It must have a lot to do with the original owner of this jade pendant.
She hurriedly said, “I didn’t kill her. She was already dying when I got to her.”
“Tell me clearly, what kind of woman?”
“She looked around twenty five or twenty six years old, long hair, oh, her stomach was a little distended, as if pregnant.”
Alex was stunned.
‘Pregnant?’
He glanced at Eunice, and in the next moment, reached out and pressed his hand on her eyebrow. In the depths of her soul, she shouted, “If you don’t want to become an idiot, try to think of her.”
Inside the Ten Wheels Earth Incantation that Ksitigarbha had left to Alex was a magic seal called the Seal of Past and Present Life, which allowed one to search for someone’s past from their trajectory.
Alex was now using Eunice as a medium to search for the past.
Buzz!
Eunice felt like her brain was going to explode soon.
