Ch. 2251..2260
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2251
“Sir, it hurts!”
“Yeah. It looks a bit severe. If you’re in the hospital at our side, you probably won’t be able to keep this leg.”
Upon hearing it, Hermione shouted, “Ah!”
Amputation was such a terrible thing. Once her leg was amputated, it would be arduous for her to regrow a leg even if she reached Immortalization in the future… Moreover, it was so challenging to reach Immortalization. So, it was impossible to succeed in Inunortalization without a leg.
“Luckily, you met me! Give me half an hour, and I’ll restore an intact leg for you!”
Rip!
Alex immediately tore the hem of Hermione’s skirt and slowly slid his hand covered with the divine Zharvakko power down her thigh. The room was dark, where ambition would often manifest in one’s mind out of the darkness.
Hermione never had a man touch her thigh before. So, her heart raced wildly from such a feeling.
However, this person was her master’s husband!
“Isn’t a chance encounter in life amazing? Your people of the Yggdrasill family wanted to kill me, but I killed most of them using the Lightning Tribulation. After that, you went to great lengths to pursue my senior’s family and me till we had to jump into the swamp helplessly at the end of our rope. As a result, now… I’m treating your leg injury here!” Alex said with a light smile.
He said so to resolve the embarrassment between the two of them.
He had no feeling for Hermione at all… This was because Hermione was probably not his favorite type, and she was the disciple that his wife had accepted. But, instead, that lolita junior, Mica Simpson, tugged at his heartstrings slightly.
At the same time, Donovan, Mica, and several disciples of the Sun Shrine were here at the Governor’s Residence of Raze City.
Every moment passed.
News kept coming from the city guards and some civil organizations in Raze City. At first, many people discovered Alex and a woman’s traces, but soon, everything seemed to have been silenced, and there was no longer any incoming news.
“We’ve lost him!”
“He’s gone!”
Zephyr East was dejected. “Young Sect Master, that man is hard to deal with. He knows the arcana of Instant Teleportation. This kind of ancient mystic art has been lost for a long time. There’s nothing much we can do about him! Raze City is so huge, so it’s difficult to find someone who can teleport instantaneously, not to mention this guy knows the advanced Transformation technique. There’s no way to find him at all.”
Donovan frowned.
He was now anxious not just because of revenge, but he wanted to get Alex’s Chaos Beads, Chaos Bell and, most importantly, the Chaos Tree. This was his great opportunity, so it would be too late for him to regret it once Alex managed to escape.
“By the way, Young Sect Master, I recalled something. Colette Brunel, the Princess of Silvermoon Sanctuary, has a magical treasure called the Heavenly Mirror. This mirror can dispel illusions and Transformation techniques. We can find that guy by combining the Heavenly Mirror and the great formation of Nine Palaces in my city. Colette Brunel should be in Raze City right now.”
“Colette Brunel? This woman is a bit hard to deal with!” Donovan said.
“It isn’t that hard, as long as…” the governor, Zephyr, whispered a few words in Donovan’s ear.
“Fine!” Donovan decided. “Since you’re so confident, I’ll hand over this mission to you then.”
***
Wham!
Just as Alex finished healing Hermione’s leg injury in the pitch-black room, a loud boom rang outside. The door was broken from the blast.
‘God d*mmit, you don’t even give me a chance to rest for a while!’
Alex was a little annoyed as he really did not know how the other party found out his whereabouts. He rushed out and took a look, only to find a person, Ynes Larkin.
Ynes was taken aback for a moment after looking at Alex, who had transformed into Dorothy. Then, she calmed down quickly and sneered, “Your illusion is really superb. You can actually disguise yourself as a woman, but I know you’re that pervert!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2252
Alex looked at Ynes before him in astonishment as she could still recognize him in this state. Wasn’t this a bit strange?
“Your… Is your bra specially made?”
He could only think of this reason. How else could he explain it?
Once he mentioned the bra, Ynes could not control her blazing anger. “I’ll give you one last chance. Return my bra and come with me!”
“Oh!”
Alex nodded. “The bra is originally yours. It’s not a problem to return it to you…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Ynes exploded with anger. “So, you’re still keeping that bra?”
‘Uh, this… You want me to return the bra. Could it be that you’re scamming me?’
“Do you have a grudge against Donovan Orlando?” Ynes suddenly asked about something else.
“Kind of!”
“Hence, you sneaked into the forbidden area of Yorkshire Palace and tried to insult me and ruin my reputation so that you could take revenge on Donovan Orlando. You’re so despicable. You couldn’t defeat Donovan Orlando, so you came up with such a dirty trick. I despise you!”
Before Alex could say anything, Hermione could not help but sneer. “Ynes Larkin, did you say my master’s husband couldn’t defeat Donovan Orlando? You can go and ask your fiancé how he lost his Chaos Beads and Chaos Bell. In front of my master’s husband, he’s merely a deceitful scum who gains fame with that genius title…”
“Pervert!” Ynes counterattacked her rudely.
Hermione sneered. “Ynes Larkin, don’t be presumptuous. How innocent do you think you are?”
Ynes shouted, “Shameless pervert!”
Hermione was furious as well. “Larkin, stop being arrogant! Do you think I don’t know about you?! You ’re unfaithful, an opportunist, a two timer! You’re not a good person either! Oh, great! Now that you’ve slept with my master’s husband, there may be even a vile spawn in your womb! Why did you pester my master’s husband so persistently? Wasn’t that because you fancied my master’s husband? Or, was that because you don’t even know the father of the child in your womb?”
Ynes was the dignified, pure and noble Holy Maiden who had never touched even Donovan’s fingers, yet she had to suffer from such an extreme insult now. So, how could she be able to bear it?
She immediately drew her sword. “You b*tch full of sh*ts, you’re with a man in a room in the middle of the night and even called him ‘master’s husband’! You’re the scum of humankind! I shall kill you!”
Since Hermione’s leg injury had just healed, she could not move properly yet. In addition, her cultivation base was initially inferior to Ynes’, so how could she be a match for Ynes?
Alex hurriedly intervened and blocked Ynes. He turned around and asked Hermione. “Do you know her?”
Hermione had Alex’s help, so she stood fearlessly behind him and said, “Of course I know her. She thinks she’s some kind of Holy Maiden and is full of herself. She’s waiting for a good offer so that she can sell herself for a good price!”
“You’re spewing vicious slanders! I shall not spare you!”
“I shall not spare you either! Why don’t you sell yourself to the whorehouse? You can find a man old enough to be your grandpa. Older men will have greater achievements and more spiritual stones, so you will be able to earn even more if you sell yourself to those men.”
“Ahh!”
Ynes was so furious that she was about to explode with anger. Her mind was befuddled, so she couldn’t care less about capturing Alex alive. Seeing that Alex was protecting Hermione all the time, every move she unleashed was a deadly move with the firm intent to kill him.
Unfortunately, Alex‘s defense was insane.
With the protection of Genbu and Benares Dragon inside his body, he was an existence that could not be hacked to death even with a sword.
However, the two steamed buns in Alex’s chest fell out and rolled next to Ynes’ feet from the slash, making Ynes dumbfounded for a moment. Then, when she thought about this pervert who insulted her innocence, she wanted to vomit blood on the spot.
“You… You pervert! I’m going to kill you!”
However, Hermione added fuel to the fire. “You want to kill my master’s husband? What? Have you finally figured out the father of the child in your womb? Won’t the child in your womb be fatherless if you kill my master’s husband? A fatherless child is wretched. If you sell yourself to someone else next time, the child has to call someone else their stepfather… Oh, perhaps you can’ t wait to sell yourself when you’re pregnant. Well, I heard that the child would be aborted if you do that kind of deed when you’re pregnant. You were having this kind of idea, right?”
Hermione really was foul mouthed.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2253
Ynes was already devastated. At this moment, she could not do anything about Alex and hear such words, so she vomited blood out of rage at once.
Poof!
She spat a large mouthful of blood. Her body shook and collapsed.
Alex helplessly stretched his hand and held her in his arms before saying to Hermione, “You were too harsh. Do you hold a grudge against her?”
The steamed buns on Alex had fallen, so he simply restored himself to his original appearance. He took away the sword in Ynes’ hand and checked her condition for a moment, only to realize that she had passed out from rage.
He was not courteous either, so he immediately pressed his hand on her and massaged her to improve her blood circulation.
“Ahh!”
Ynes woke up soon.
To her surprise, she realized that Alex’s hand was on her bosom. So, she immediately screamed and raised her hand, trying to beat Alex to death.
Smack! Smack!
The agile Alex tapped on her major acupoint to seal her meridians.
He said indifferently, “Miss Larkin, your heart meridians are damaged from rage. Besides, I sense that there’s a problem with your heart meridians initially. What happened before was a misunderstanding. So I’m healing your heart meridians as your compensation.”
Ynes snarled, “Let go of me! You’re shameless! You’re scum!”
Alex said, “I’m doing it for your good. Besides, I’ve touched it twice anyway, so it won’t hurt to touch it once more. There’s no distinction between a man and a woman in a doctor’s eyes.”
Ynes, who could not resist Alex, watched him land his hand on her chest. But, more importantly, she felt a hint of shyness from the shame. Tears of grievance flowed down her face uncontrollably.
Hermione said, “Sir, so you really touched her long ago before this. I even thought it was fake! What was it like? How about you let me try it too?!”
Alex said, “Stop fooling around. She really has a problem with her heart meridians. I think there might be a problem with the cultivation technique of Yorkshire Palace.”
Hermione said with a smile, “You sounded so serious. I almost believed you! Ynes Larkin, you probably never expected that you would be in the current state, right? This is karma, you know?”
Ynes stared at Hermione. “Do you have a grudge against me?”
Hermione said, “Of course I do! You killed my senior! ”
Ynes was astonished. “Who’s your senior?”
Hermione said, “Cyrus Springer from the Plenilune Sect!”
Alex later learned that the son of the Plenilune Sect’s sect master was called Cyrus Springer. Moreover, he had fancied Ynes very much. Because of this matter, Jenson Springer had even made a special trip to Yorkshire Palace to help his son settle the marriage agreement. Back then, Cyrus was also a promising, ingenious young man. Hence, the sect master of the Yorkshire Palace had agreed to it at first.
However, Donovan had fallen for Ynes unexpectedly after a while. After comparison with Donovan, Cyrus was abandoned, and the engagement was called off! Then, Cyrus regarded it as a great insult.
He only went out with his parents because he was upset. As a result, he was gone forever…
Alex did not know that there would be such twists and turns within it.
Ynes said, “I don’t know about the things you said at all. Also, I’ve never seen your senior. Everything was the sect’s arrangement. If he’s gone forever, that’s because he encountered a mishap out there. So, how could you say I killed him?”
Hermione said, “Anyway, you’re a two timer. Oh, now there’s also my master’s husband. But, how can someone like you be worthy of my master’s husband? He’s just fooling around with you.”
“You…”
At this moment, a group of people rushed in again. It was Donovan Orlando, Mica Simpson, Zephyr East and the others.
When Donovan saw Alex’s hand on Ynes’ chest, but she had no reaction at all, he exploded with rage at once. “Ynes Larkin, you b*tch!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2254
Donovan was in a terrible mood.
At first, he did not believe much in the rumor about Ynes keeping a man in the forbidden area. He did not know Ynes’ character well, but the sect master of Yorkshire Palace had been managing her disciples strictly. Even an open-minded lady would not be able to do such a thing as keeping a man!
If it were Colette Brunel, he probably would believe it. However, he really did not believe Ynes would do that. But now, he saw Ynes lying sideways in Alex’s arms, and the man’s hand was even on her bosom… The most disgusting thing was that b*stard was even wearing women’s clothes.
He naturally assumed the clothes belonged to Ynes. He was infuriated!
He was cuckolded so badly.
The thoughts on being cuckolded simply filled his mind, so how could he endure it?
It was fine without the Chaos Beads. It was also fine without the Chaos Bell. Finally, however, someone turned him into a cuckold in front of so many people, so he could not bear it at all.
Mica, who failed to understand Donovan’s current feeling, pointed at Ynes and said, “Senior, now that you’ve seen it, you will believe it, right? This Larkin b*tch is simply shameless. She’s clearly your fiancée, yet she’s hooking up with another man. Think about it. She can even be so open with other women present. She may have slept with a few men behind your back. Senior, you may have been cuckolded multiple times!”
Donovan’s eyelids twitched wildly.
“Shut up!”
Not only were there people of the Sun Shrine present, but there was the governor, Zephyr East, Colette Brunel, the Princess of Silvermoon Sanctuary, and Samson Hendrik. They only managed to find this place because they had borrowed Colette’s Heavenly Mirror.
As a result, after Mica said so, everyone looked at Donovan with extremely bizarre gazes, such that he, the blessed man, was unable to bear it emotionally.
Mica said aggrievedly, “Senior, I’m helping you. I can’t bear watching you become a cuckold. This is simply a great insult!”
‘That’s right! You keep mentioning such a great insult in front of so many people. Are you helping me to achieve the title of a cuckold?’
Smack!
Donovan smacked Mica’s neck, knocking her unconscious.
Immediately afterward, he looked at Ynes. “Now the matter has come to this point, I don’t want to say anything anymore. I, Donovan Orlando, have my reputation turned into a laughing stock because of you. So kill yourself now, and I won’t take my anger out on your Yorkshire Palace.”
Alex sighed and said, “Donovan Orlando, if I were to say all of this is just a misunderstanding, would you believe me? In fact, your fiancée has never betrayed you. But, of course, I have never had any special relationship with her.”
Donovan instantly exploded with anger. “Do you think I’m blind? Where is your hand placed? Do you think I can’t see it?”
“Oh, you mean this hand of mine!” When Alex was talking, he even deliberately kneaded it hard. “You did see it, but you misunderstood it. I’m not molesting your fiancée, but I’m treating her disease.”
Ynes flushed. She was too ashamed to face anyone, so she just closed her eyes tightly.
“Pfft!”
Someone laughed. It was Samson. He laughed so hard that he ahnost sprained his back and said to Alex, “Bro, I believe your words! Donovan Orlando, look, look! There’s a trace of blood on the corner of your fiancée’s mouth. She must have been injured. This brother of mine is helping her by rubbing her bosom… Oh no, it’s the chest. He did it with completely good intention. You should thank my brother for it.”
As Samson was talking, he kept making eyes at Donovan.
Was this a mediation? This was adding fuel to the fire.
“Samson Hendrik, if you want to acknowledge his man as your brother, fine then. However, I shall not show any mercy later. I’ll still attack you even if your father comes,” Donovan said coldly.
“Oh my, you’re using my father to threaten me?! Do you think I will be afraid?!” Samson shouted.
At this moment, another two people came in. It was an old woman and a young woman.
It was Melanie Zelda, the grand elder of Yorkshire Palace, and Winona Zelda.
Clank!
Melanie threw a sword to the ground and scowled as she shouted sternly at Ynes, “Ynes Larkin, you abomination! You’re so shameless to do this kind of thing that humiliates the sect in public and broad daylight. You… You’re simply worse than a b*tch! But, I’ll give you a chance! Slice your own throat to kill yourself in front of everyone as an atonement of your sins! We, the Yorkshire Palace, don’t have an abomination like you!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2255
“From now onwards, I, as the representative of Yorkshire Palace, declare that Ynes Larkin shall be stripped of her qualification as the Holy Maiden, expelled from Yorkshire Palace forever, and all of her cultivation bases shall be retrieved.”
When Ynes heard Melanie’s words, her eyes instantly widened. Tears started streaming down her face at once.
“Grand Elder…”
“Don’t call me ‘Grand Elder’! You’re not worthy!” Winona at the side snorted coldly and said, “Oh, my junior. I didn’t expect that you would be someone with such a nature. You’re really good at pretending and have even deceived your master. I thought you were pure and noble, but in fact, you’re scum of society even worse than a prostitute.”
Ynes closed her eyes in pain. A death wish sprang up in her mind. She hated them!
Of course, she hated Alex and God. Why did they have to treat her like this?
She had done nothing, yet she had to suffer such insults as if fate had played a great joke on her. The higher she climb ed, the harder she fell. At this point, what kind of remaining reputation would she still have to continue surviving?
“Believe it or not, I was forced!” She opened her eyes and seemed to be mumbling to herself.
The next second, she stared Alex down and shouted sternly, “B*stard, I, Ynes Larkin, swear on my life that I shall never let you off the hook I shall fight to the bitter end and haunt you forever as a ghost in the next life and the life after that! Ah..!”
She wanted to self-destruct. However, she soon realized that she could not even self-destruct.
Alex’s hand that was pressing against her chest had sealed all the meridians in her body, so she could not do anything else other than talking and moving both her mouth and tongue. After a moment of daze, Ynes lost her voice and cried in pain.
Alex shook his head and said, “Miss Larkin, the truth will speak for itself. You don’t have to be so upset to the point of trying to blow up yourself. Do you know what kind of behavior this is? This is being irresponsible to yourself… What would other people think when you die later? The others would say, ‘Look, she committed suicide to escape punishment. She’s really a flirtatious woman. If she hadn’t done it, why would she commit suicide?”’
Ynes wanted to bite him to death so badly. “You… You’re a devil!”
Melanie admonished, “If you don’t want to commit suicide, I’ll do it myself then.”
She then waved her hand and retrieved the sharp sword before trying to stab Ynes with the sword.
When Ynes saw that, she was not afraid, but it seemed to be a liberation. Everything would be over with her death.
However, Alex did not grant her wish.
Clank!
A golden light flashed.
Alex casually drew out a long golden lance. It was the one that piece Athena had left behind. It could be a scepter; it could be a long lance.
Upon collision, Melanie’s sword was instantly broken into seventeenth or eighteenth pieces.
However, the aftershock of her sword was not weak. Although Alex had broken her sword, a gush of sword aura assaulted Alex. He immediately put away the long lance and grabbed both Ynes and Hermione in his hands, respectively, before flying backward.
Wham!
He crashed into a wall.
At first, Alex wanted to break through the wall to escape with Instant Teleportation. However, he did not expect that there would be something else hidden within this wall. As a mass of yellow light exploded, a figure walked out of the wall.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2256
The figure’s appearance was too sudden. Everyone did not anticipate it, so they could not react to it at once. Alex even bore the brunt. Even more bizarre was that the figure just passed through Alex’s body after coming out of the wall.
He was not mistaken about it. This was not a real person but a phantom.
The next second, a hollow, ethereal voice rang in the crowd. “Who let you into my house to disrupt my peace?”
It was an old man’s voice.
As Alex was facing the back of the old man’s phantom, he could not see his front clearly and was only surprised. Then, however, a bolt out of the blue seemed to have struck the governor of Raze City standing opposite the phantom after clearly looking at the phantom’s facial appearance. Soon, he could not help but fall to his knees.
Thud!
The kneeling sound was earsplitting.
Then, he prostrated himself. “Quinn… Senior Quinn, we didn’t know this is your residence. Please… Please forgive us. W-we will leave right now. We’ll leave immediately.”
Alex did not know Zephyr East.
Naturally, Alex did not feel much about him kneeling before a phantom all of a sudden. But soon, he saw the grand elder of Yorkshire Palace, Melanie Zelda, fall to her knees respectfully as well. “Senior Quinn, Melanie Zelda, the grand elder of Yorkshire Palace, pays respect to Senior.”
‘Uhm…’
If it was said that Zephyr was just a puppet that the Sun Shrine had introduced, then Melanie’s kneeling meant something else. It indicated that the phantom of the old man before their eyes represented a supremely powerful identity.
However, the others did not know the old man except Zephyr and Melanie.
“This… Who is this guy?”
“I don’t know either, I never have the impression of this guy. He should be someone extraordinary to make Governor East kneel, right?”
Alex frowned as he looked at the phantom. However, he was not too worried.
He had seen the omnipotent big shots like the True Martial Sovereign and the Undead Queen, so why would he be afraid of the phantom of an old man holed up in a dilapidated house of Raze City?
At this moment, Hermione spoke telepathically with Alex secretly. “Sir, this old man is the owner of the house. Of course, we’ve been here long ago, but why didn’t he appear before this?”
“Before… Perhaps I didn’t crash into this wall previously, so I didn’t disrupt his retreat!” Alex answered.
He looked at the phantom as now he was also curious about the old man’s powerful origin for making the grand elder of Yorkshire Palace kneel. Otherwise, he would have taken the people and fled via Instant Teleportation.
The old man said faintly, “I didn’t expect that someone would remember my last name. I almost forgot about it!”
At this moment, Melanie pulled Winona at the side by her arms hard and urged in a low voice. “Winona, kneel and prostrate yourself before Senior Quinn.”
Winona was reluctant. “Which Senior Quinn is he? I don’t even know him. Besides, this isn’t a person. It’s just a phantom. Third Great-aunt, you’re the grand elder of Yorkshire Palace anyway. Is he worthy of you to kneel before him?”
Upon hearing it, Melanie paled and immediately scolded, “Shut up!”
Meanwhile, the old man’s phantom said slowly, “Time is infinite, and life is limited. Indeed, an old man like me should have died long ago.”
However, he changed the topic suddenly. “But, not just anyone could barge into my residence even if I’m a dying man.”
The old man’s phantom suddenly stretched his hand and grabbed Winona’s neck.
It was just a phantom!
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2257
However, the power of his stretched hand was real and effective.
Winona’s entire body was lifted after being choked, such that she could not breathe smoothly, and her neck was about to be broken.
A gush of death’s horror swept through Winona’s mind.
“Third… Third Great-aunt, save, save me…”
At this moment, Melanie wanted to slap Winona to death from the depth of her heart. ‘This good-for-nothing that could not do anything right wasn’t insightful at all. Did you think I was blind? Could it be that I, the grand elder of Yorkshire Palace, was out of my mind to kneel before trash? Is the person that I’d kneel before someone you can mess with?’
However, Winona was still Melanie’s direct junior, so she could not sit back and watch without trying to save her.
“Senior Quinn, calm down. She’s a junior in my sect with a limited outlook. Please don’t be offended by her disrespectful words…”
The old man snorted coldly. “You disrupted my rest, yet you asked me not to be offended? Do you think my place is some wet market?”
Wham!
The old man’s phantom gently made a throw.
Winona immediately flew out of the house and crashed into a certain stone block outside hard.
Poof!
Winona could not withstand the impact, so she suffered severe internal injuries as her internal organs dislocated. She spat a mouthful of blood.
“Senior Quinn, calm down! Calm down!”
“Senior Quinn…”
The actions of the old man’s phantom were inexplicably shocking.
Although Winona’s strength was not as good as Ynes’, she was still the eldest disciple under the sect master of Yorkshire Palace. Her cultivation base was splendid, and she had reached the third realm to Imminent Immortal. However, facing the old man’s translucent phantom unexpectedly, she did not have any spare energy to resist him. She was almost smashed to death from the casual throw.
Alex thought that the old man was extraordinary.
Meanwhile, Donovan, Samson, Colette, and the others felt their blood freeze as they did not expect a phantom could be so powerful. Moreover, he had only casually moved. What would happen if he were to unleash his ultimate move?
“Senior, we didn’t want to break into your house. We’re here to look for someone.” A disciple of the Sun Shrine said. Then, he pointed at Alex, Ynes, and Hermione. “You see, it’s these three people! They’re the ones who broke into your house and fooled around to disrupt your retreat! Do you know? These few people are scums, abominations! The three of them were doing that dirty and shameless deed together inside your house and tarnished your house!”
The old man turned around.
Alex did not hesitate and immediately activated the Instant Teleportation while taking the two women with him.
However, a problem suddenly happened to Instant Teleportation, which had been successful in every attempt at this moment.
After the old man casually waved his hand, Alex realized that he seemed to be confined in place as the space experienced squeezing and dragging. So, he could not leave at all.
The old man looked at Alex. “Who are you? You have actually learned Instant Teleportation at such a young age. And…”
Before Alex could answer him, Melanie immediately introduced Alex. “Senior Quinn, this little brute is scum. He fornicated with the Holy Maiden of our Yorkshire Palace to ruin the reputation of Yorkshire Palace. Moreover, he even cheated ten billion spiritual stones out of the Sun Shrine… Now he’s even here to disrupt your retreat. It’s all we could wish for if you want to kill him. We even have to thank you!”
“Is that so? You want to get someone else to do your dirty work. You want me, Dave Quinn, to become your henchman?”
“Ah! No, no, I don’t dare to do so!”
The old man snorted coldly. “I think you’re too daring. There’s no more reputation in your Yorkshire Palace ages ago. You get lost too!”
A gush of terrifying aura exploded and instantly enveloped Melanie before flinging her out.
At the same time, Colette exclaimed, “You’re Dave Quinn? You’re one of the two and a half survivors from Pompeii Fairyland after entering the ancient battlefield. You… Didn’t you die ages ago?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2258
“What?”
“He’s Dave Quinn? The sect master of Pompeii Fairyland two millennia ago?”
“It turns out that the big shot from two millennia ago has survived until now and has been hiding in such a normal house in Raze City?”
The crowd froze in disbelief.
Alex also finally understood the identity of the old man’s phantom before his eyes. Previously, he had heard Abtal Usoro’s introduction that the big shots from the super sects had brought thousands of disciples into the 100,000 miles Misty Swamp to look for the ancient battlefield. But, in the end, only two and a half people managed to come out alive.
The half-person was the insane one. On the other hand, the two unscathed people died not long after coming out.
Now, the man named Dave Quinn before his eyes seemed to be the one who was rumored to have died. This was the real Immortal!
“Scram!” Dave shouted coldly.
Zephyr acted the fastest and dared not have the slightest sense of retaliation. He was the first to get up and escape from the house.
After Donovan and the others recognized the phantom’s identity clearly, they dared not stay there either as they could seek revenge on Alex anytime. Moreover, Donovan did not think it would be wise to snatch the Chaos Beads, Chaos Bell and especially the Chaos Tree in front of Dave.
The crowd that had just rushed in furiously all fled and vanished in the blink of an eye.
Meanwhile, Alex realized he was in a miserable state. To his surprise, he could not move at all while being confined there.
***
After running out of the house, Zephyr, Donovan, and others breathed a long sigh of relief. It was the same even for Samson and Colette.
It was only until now that they felt their lives belonged to themselves.
“Oh my gosh! We have actually run into a legendary big shot! That’s a true Immortal!”
“I dare not imagine that we’ve offended a true living Immortal. On the contrary, it’s already a great blessing to be alive now.”
“It’s all blamed on Ynes Larkin and her paramour. They went nowhere else but got into the place for Dave Quinn’s retreat. This isn’t the way, even if they have a death wish… By the way, it looks like they haven’t come out. I’m afraid they’re dead inside!”
As the person was talking, Melanie and Winona walked over.
Melanie said to Donovan, “Young Sect Master Orlando, I represent Yorkshire Palace to offer you an apology on the matter about Ynes Larkin. This abomination, Ynes Larkin, is ill-natured by relying on the sect master’s favor. Let’s not talk about her! Let me introduce you. She’s called Winona Zelda and is also a disciple of our sect. She’s first-rate regardless of her character and facial features. She’s countless times better than Ynes Larkin. I think that once Young Sect Master Orlando’s engagement is canceled, it’d ruin your reputation instead. So, why don’t you change the partner of engagement to Winona Zelda? What do you think?”
Everyone looked at Winona. They were all discerning people.
Neglecting the character, Zelda’s facial features and figure were inferior by two or three tiers compared to Ynes!
They were not at the same level at all. Yet, Melanie lied through her teeth.
Donovan frowned right away after looking at Winona. A woman like Winona was a dime a dozen, such that anyone dragged out of women queuing up to marry him could beat Winona.
How could he fancy her?
Meanwhile, Winona’s heart raced wildly when she saw Donovan was looking at her. She felt that she had found her Mr. Right, and only a blessed woman like her would be worthy of Donovan. So, how could a biitch like Ynes be worthy of him?
As a result, Donovan snorted coldly. “Do you think I, Donovan Orlando, is some garbage shelter? Can anyone just come running to match with me? Do you think she’s worthy? Get lost. As for the matter with Ynes Larkin, I won’t let it off the hook this easily. I’ll personally go to your Yorkshire Palace to seek justice.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2259
Whoosh!
Winona’s face instantly turned pale. To her surprise, Donovan described her as garbage?!
This was too unfair!
In the room, Hermione was overwrought, so she hurriedly spoke telepathically with Alex via divine sense. “Sir, think of a way quickly. I don’t want to die here yet. I’m still quite young, and I want to fulfill my filial duty to my master…”
However, the power that shackled them was full of the mighty power of laws.
This was a True Immortal method. Indeed, it was somewhat difficult for Alex to break free from the shackle with his current ability.
Compared to the nervous Hermione, Ynes seemed to be extremely calm. She stared at Alex with extreme hatred and laughed like a lunatic. “ B*stard, it serves you right! You ruined me, and now you’re going to die. This is karma. Remember, don’t be a man and just be a woman in your next life.”
Alex was puzzled. “Why would you want me to be a woman?”
Ynes spat saliva at Alex and said viciously, “So that you can look at yourself every day till you die.”
Alex wiped his face and said helplessly, “What a great resentment!”
Ynes said to Dave, “Senior, if you want to kill someone to vent your anger, just do it right away. This scum broke into your house first, so it’s a matter of course for you to kill him!”
Dave’s phantom turned around.
He looked at Ynes and said, “You’re a disciple of Yorkshire Palace? After Yasmine died, Yorkshire Palace became more and more unbearable. But what he said was right. Indeed, there’s a problem with the cultivation technique that you people from Yorkshire Palace are cultivating because it will damage your heart meridians.”
“What?!” Ynes froze.
She did not believe Alex’s words earlier at all.
But Dave had said so as well. Since he was a big shot with such a status, he would not go so far as to make this kind of joke with her. However, what Dave said afterward surprised her even more.
“Brat, you’re someone from the Divine Medicine Sect? I didn’t expect that I would still see the Ultimate Book of Medicine in my remaining years. You treated the problem of her heart meridians completely in such a short time. Only the Art of Zharvakko of the Divine Medicine Sect could do that.”
‘So, this pervert was really treating my disease just now?’
Moreover, he was someone from the whatever Divine Medicine Sect and even surprised Dave… But why had she never heard of the three words ‘Divine Medicine Sect’?
Alex was quite shocked as well.
When he acquired the Ultimate Book of Medicine, his ancestor mentioned that he was called some sort of God of Medicine. As for the Divine Medicine Sect…
Could it be that there was such a sect?
“Senior, you already sensed us the moment we entered this house, right?” Alex said with a smile, “Does Senior have anything that needs my help? Looking at your phantom’s condition, Senior’s condition is clearly not so fine.”
“Oh? Pray tell. How am I not fine?”
“Your soul is unstable without much remaining lifespan. So, senior, perhaps you’re trapped inside this house and couldn’t leave at all, right?”
“Hahaha…”
Dave laughed. “Good brat, you’re an heir of the Divine Medicine Sect. I’ve hidden it so well, yet you could see through it at a glance. Speaking of which, my Pompeii Fairyland is acquainted with your Divine Medicine Sect. There’s a deep connection between our two sects. Follow me!”
As Dave said that, he released the shackle on Alex. Then, he walked in a certain direction.
Alex hesitated for a moment and followed him.
Meanwhile, Ynes wailed in her mind. ‘I’m done for. So, he and this pervert are on the same team.’
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2260
This house was not huge.
However, Alex followed Dave’s phantom and walked toward a regular wall. But, then, he knew that there was something else hidden here.
Whoosh. A shadow flashed.
Alex followed him and disappeared together into the wall. When he blinked again, he saw an ancient, desolated and quiet space in a cave-dwelling. The space was not large, and its size was just about half of the room outside. It was empty without any daily necessities and only in the most central position…
A coffin was placed. It was a glittering golden coffin.
Alex was slightly stunned when he saw the scene inside, but he saw a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy and circulation of tenuous runic luster on the ground where the coffin was placed.
“Senior, this is…”
Alex had some kind of guess as he looked at Dave’s phantom. Although a coffin separated it, he could still sense the life aura from the inside.
A living person was lying inside the coffin.
***
At the same time, Hermione and Ynes were still standing in the corner of that house, motionless, outside the cave-dwelling.
Dave had only released the confinement spell that he had cast on Alex earlier, so there was no change for the two women.
Hermione said, “Ynes Larkin when you rejected the engagement with my senior and turned to engage with Donovan Orlando back then, did you ever think that you would be in such a state today?”
Ynes sneered. “Your senior is dead, but that’s his own business. It has nothing to do with me.”
Hermione said, “You really made yourself scarce by treating it as a matter none of your concern. But, then, it’s also your own business that you’ve fallen into such a plight and become a lowly b*tch that everyone detests. It has nothing to do with my master’s husband… Hah, perhaps you were the one who seduced my master’s husband!”
Ynes laughed. “What’s so good about him? He’s scum, a brute. So, would I seduce him? Was I out of my mind? Or was I possessed by the Devil?”
Hermione sneered. “It’d be the best in this way. Let me tell you. My master is a goddess. You better don’t shower him with unreciprocated love. He’s fooling around with you at best. Even if you’re the Holy Maiden of Yorkshire Palace, you aren’t worthy to wash his feet. Moreover, you’re notorious and worthless.”
Ynes was infuriated!
“Your master’s husband, right? Believe me, I’d seduce your master’s husband for real and make him fall into my hands so that you would call me madam and kneel before me to wash my feet every day.”
“You…”
Hermione was wide-eyed. Once she recalled that Alex had even stolen Ynes’ bra, she thought he might be interested in Ynes. If she really did that and even succeeded, wouldn’t she be full of misery?
If her master’s husband forced her to kneel before Ynes to wash her feet, would she be able to refuse him?
It seemed that she would not be able to refuse him, especially under Neela’s intervention. Even if she was reluctant, she could only act accordingly.
Seeing the change in Hermione’s expression, Ynes sneered. “What about it? Are you afraid? So, you better know your place and don’t force me to do something out of line. Otherwise, you won’t end well.”
Hermione sneered. “Do you think I’m afraid of you? Perhaps you’ve never seen my master’s appearance. She’s a thousand times, ten thousand times prettier than you. A woman like you is simply no match for even her pinkie. Moreover, my master has given birth to four children for my master’s husband. You… Go and daydream! You should be worried the most about what Donovan Orlando will do to you and also your Yorkshire Palace.”
Ynes was distressed once she thought of such a possibility.
The grand elder and Winona would definitely exaggerate the incident that occurred tonight and tell her master. Furthermore, the people of the Sun Shrine would go there and denounce her for her crimes. Therefore, even if her master wanted to defend her, she would not have sufficient reasons to do so.
