The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2861
A thousand words were no match for a hard kiss.
Alex could feel her passionate, trembling, and intense emotions of regaining what she had lost. When the love factor was ignited, it could not be extinguished on its own.
What it needed was greater combustion, and she would release it to its fullest.
When Alex placed Luna on the ground, she abruptly came to her senses. “Hubby, be careful of your legs…”
She touched Alex’s legs. Upon touching it, she shockingly found that they were normal legs with flesh and blood. They had distinct and elastic muscles that had a smooth and delicate sensation.
“Huh? Your legs?”
Looking at Alex’s legs, her eyes widened as if she was dreaming. To her surprise, flesh and blood proliferated on what were just bones, pretty much like a magical transformation.
She blinked incredulously. She then got up and moved closer to touch the legs, weeping with joy when she finally confirmed that they were a pair of complete, or even perfect, legs. Under Alex’s surprised gaze, she touched them.
Alex was a little impatient. “Is it my turn now?”
Luna’s nasal voice sounded soft. “Hubby, I am a little scared.”
“What are you scared of?”
“I’m afraid it’ll hurt!”
“…”
It did not hurt, but it was definitely overwhelming.
***
Three full hours passed in a flash. Luna squinted as she lay on his chest. It was then that she noticed the Genbu egg next to them. So, she asked Alex in surprise, “What on earth is this?”
“This is the old protector of the True Martial Shrine.”
“Huh? Why did he go back into the egg again? Then… Wouldn’t he have seen and heard what we just did?”
Alex touched her wet skin. “Don’t worry. The True Martial Starlord’s divided soul bestowed a new life upon him. It is considered a rebirth. It will become a new small tortoise when it hatches from the egg… But it’ll be hard to tell if it will remember us.”
After that, Alex briefly said a few words about his encounters in the past six months.
Luna felt more puzzled as she listened. It completely went beyond her perception, especially when she heard that a demonic creature like the Abyssal Overlord, which was more powerful and terrifying than the Supreme God, existed. She didn’t even know what level the Supreme God was at, but it sure sounded like the strongest god in the world.
However, the woman’s thoughts were simple.
“Hubby, you’ve successfully cleared the trial and escaped from the mouth of that demonic creature whatsoever. Over time, you will definitely be able to kill them.”
Alex smiled. “Aren’t you a little too confident in me? I don’t even have that kind of confidence.”
Luna said, “Of course. I, the little witch, believe that the man who could mess me up is definitely not inferior.”
Her words almost ignited the flame of lust again.
Alex suppressed his eagerness only after Luna timidly uttered, ‘it hurts’.
“Where are your parents? Did they clear the trial?” Alex asked.
“They didn’t, of course. My dad killed a few demon beasts. My mom… scored zero, and so did I… They went back a long time ago. Oh… By the way, something happened to your house.”
“What? What happened?” Alex jumped up at once.
“T-that… I didn’t think of it just now. Your house is gone.”
Hearing those words, Alex’s eyes widened as if his butt was on fire.
Luna hurriedly continued, “Relax, relax and hear me out. Someone snatched Rockefeller Manor away, but nothing happened to Mother-in-law and the others. They were driven out just like that.”
Alex’s anxiety eased slightly, but soon, he flew into a rage again. “Who’s occupying my house?!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2862
How could Alex sit still when he heard that someone had occupied his house and driven away his mother, wife, and children?
Even if Luna Flores wanted to go for another round, he couldn’t be able to concentrate. Of course, Luna was not that ignorant.
Indeed, she had been over-excited and had completely forgotten about the matter.
“Let’s go! I’d like to see who has occupied my house.”
Alex picked up the Genbu egg on the ground. He initially wanted to throw it directly into the storage ring, but it was a living thing on second thought, and it would probably die in the environment inside the storage space. That said, it should be fine inside the Cleansing Vase.
However, Ancestor Bodhi sent a message at that moment, saying that fate had brought him and this little tortoise together, and he wanted to raise it from a young age. He then took it from Alex.
This thing was quite remarkable, managing to directly enter Alex’s mind palace. Ancestor Bodhi buried it in the soil under the Ancestral Bodhi Tree… Oh, the soil wasn’t just ordinary soil, but it was the Heavenly Self-renewing Soil.
It should grow better if it was buried in this kind of place, right?
Alex could not wait to leave with Luna, but she pointed to the back. It turned out that she had built a bamboo house and lived there, explicitly waiting for Alex. If he didn’t show up, she would continue living there.
Now, her Sky-Devil Zither was still in the bamboo house.
Alex hugged Luna. “Why are you so dumb? Do I look like someone with a short lifespan? A great man once told my fortune and said I could live at least ten millennia. So, even if someone ever says that I’m dead, you must never believe it… No. Didn’t anyone tell you that I was alive? At least… Cheryl and Daya should have been able to sense it.”
“I didn’t see you with my own eyes, so how could I believe them?” Luna said. “I even called you over… Even if they were convinced that you were still alive, I couldn’t confirm your safety as long as I didn’t see you. Although they didn’t say it, they must be blaming me deep down.”
“Don’t overthink it!”
The two immediately acquired the Sky-Devil Zither before teleporting somewhere far away.
***
Presently, America was in an ever-evolving situation.
Since the spiritual energy tide eruption in the Wasteland, bizarre forces often popped up… Previously, six ancient sects of America appeared, Snow Dragon Valley, Beast King Sect, Returning Sword Sect, Demonic Spirit Cult, Rakshasa Temple, and Lightning Pavilion. Those were the current most powerful forces of America.
Right after their appearances, they competed for the Dao Field in America.
The so-called Dao Field was a central spot for the spiritual energy tide eruption. Back then, the spiritual energy tide erupted in a dozen spots in America alone, located in spiritual mountains or large rivers that included Terra Mountain, Yukon, Sky Mountain, Pompeii, and Emei Mount.
Spiritual energy tides also erupted in many places outside America.
Not only that, but Alex did not know one thing when he left to rescue Jade and the others at Mount Sota, in the next few days, a strange phenomenon would take place where the spiritual energy tide had erupted. Things that had never existed before slowly began to show up.
Yukon, for instance, was one of them.
Ancient legends told that it was the residence of the Western Queen Mother.
Now, an expanse of huge mountains had reappeared on the original foundation of Yukon’s mountain range that covered the area so incomprehensibly vast that one would be awestruck. Surprisingly, they were several times larger than the existing Mount Yukon.
What was that concept?
Domestic experts had estimated that the original Mount Yukon ran for about 1,500 miles. But what about now? It was close to 6,000 miles. This new 4,500 mile Yukon mountain range seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
Furthermore, when one looked at Mount Yukon from a distance, the bejeweled jade palace looked like a heavenly palace, and the otherworldly scenery was like a dream.
One could even see huge immortal birds and alien beasts.
However…
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2863
Even the most advanced satellite and radio imagery couldn’t clearly see the bejeweled jade palace’s true appearance. Nonetheless, vague outlines could still be made out with the naked eye.
Drones could not enter that large mountain.
Since aircraft would face severe electromagnetic interference if they passed through that area, aircraft either made a large detour around it or flew above 32,000 feet.
Rumors on the Internet were saying that there were deities on the new Mount Yukon and that the bejeweled jade palace was the Western Queen Mother’s palace. The Western Queen Mother’s descendants might even also live inside the palace. It attracted countless people, all trying to meet the fairies inside. Then, they tried to get into that large mountain by any means possible. However, they basically returned disappointed, having either encountered powerful beasts or getting lost inside for no reason.
Some people even disappeared inside forever.
Some other Dao Fields were similar to Mount Yukon, where mountains appeared out of thin air in varying sizes. The one in Yukon was not the largest, but the honors went to Pompeii… In Oregon, a large expanse of immortal mountains and immortal islands appeared. The area was immeasurably large, and ships simply couldn’t get close to it.
Thanks to that, changes occurred to each of the world’s territories.
America had faced the greatest change. The size of its territory was twice as large as the original one.
Who could believe it if it weren’t for the undeniable fact that had appeared in the world?
In fact, who dared not?
However… The current situation was a bit dramatic.
The six ancient sects that had just popped up quickly seized their territories.
The Returning Sword Sect occupied Yukon without discussing it with the top American officials, equivalent to drawing a boundary. Instead, they directly announced that Yukon would become the Returning Sword Sect’s Dao Field from then on.
Since then, nobody else had been allowed to enter the new Yukon. If discovered, they would be killed on sight.
American officials attempted to manage the situation.
People from the Divine Constabulary and the Flying Eagles were sent over for negotiation, but the results were extremely unsatisfactory, one that directly engaged both parties in battle. Not only were the people from the Returning Sword Sect high and mighty, but they were extremely unreasonable. As soon as they came to a disagreement, they went on a killing spree, causing heaps of casualties to the Divine Constabulary and the Flying Eagles.
Eventually, the situation was left unresolved. A similar situation occurred in various Dao Fields.
The Snow Dragon Valley occupied Packtu Mountain. The Beast King Sect occupied Sky Mountain. The Demonic Spirit Cult occupied Emei Mount.
The Rakshasa Temple occupied Terra Mountain. And Pompeii had fallen into the hands of the Lightning Pavilion.
They were the six largest Dao Fields in America. Some small Dao Fields were also divided among those forces, whereas some particularly small Dao Fields fell into the hands of the other forces.
For instance, the Flying Eagles had occupied one, but neither small not big. It was none other than Mount Dragon-Tiger.
In fact, those six ancient sect forces could not truly occupy the Dao Fields and immortal mountains. Every place that had popped out contained spell formations and force fields with various restrictions left behind since ancient times, and no one could casually break them when they wished to. Even if they had occupied those places, at best, they could only move around on the periphery for a short time.
However, there was an exception…
Rockefeller Manor in California.
Rockefeller Manor was an erupting node of spiritual energy. However, the area of Rockefeller Manor remained completely unchanged. It was also what puzzled the world’s people, especially the six ancient sect forces.
Everyone speculated that strange treasures must be present in Rockefeller Manor. Hence, Rockefeller Manor was implicated. It was targeted by the six sects.
Finally, the one that occupied Rockefeller Manor was the strongest among the six sects, the Returning Sword Sect.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2864
Disguising herself as a passerby, Hailey slowly passed Rockefeller Manor and glanced sideways at the plaque. It turned out the two large words, “The Rockefellers” had long been removed and thrown away. It was replaced with a few gilded words that said, Returning Zeal Headquarters.
The gate looked familiar, yet a gang of bandits had now snatched it away. The most worrying thing was that her brother, Alex, had disappeared after hosting his children’s first birthday party. He had never been heard of since.
As soon as she thought about it, she felt a pain in her chest.
‘Bro, where are you?’
Hailey recalled her past with Alex. For a moment, she forgot to walk and looked in the direction of the gate, indulging in a train of thoughts.
“Hey! What are you looking at?”
Presently, two people were walking out of the Returning Zeal Headquarters. After they saw Hailey, they immediately scolded her.
“Who are you? What are you doing? Why are you sneaking around outside our house? Are you trying to steal things?”
Sure enough, these two people were disciples of the Returning Sword Sect.
Hailey was just an average person. Presently, she instantly paled and almost knelt on the spot under the coercive aura of the people who questioned her. She stuttered as she replied, “No… No. I just passed by and saw… Saw that the manor looked particularly solemn. I was dumbfounded for a moment. I’m sorry, you two. I will leave immediately. In fact, I will leave now.”
Hailey lifted her foot and walked forward.
The two disciples saw her back, leaving in a hurry. The twisting waist and hips and the clatter of the high heels particularly made the men feel an itch.
“Stop right there!” a man called out to Hailey in a stern voice.
Hailey stopped in her tracks. She wanted to leave right away, but she lost all control of herself as a wave of energy enveloped her.
“Senior, what are you doing?”
The Returning Sword Sect’s disciple next to him said, “The young master instructed us to go to Mount Dragon-Tiger and bring that woman called Beatrice Assex back at once. Otherwise, I won’t be able to bear the young master’s rage.”
“Don’t worry. The young master has given us three days. It will be enough!” the elder disciple said. “Since it’s a request from the young sect master of the Returning Sword Sect, that Flying Eagles or whatsoever won’t dare to make a sound, and they will offer that woman obediently. Moreover, that woman is blessed for catching our young master’s eye. Won’t she throw herself at him? But it will be very boring in the next three days. Look at this woman. She is considered a stunning beauty among the regular folk. Don’t you want to have fun with her? You’ll just have to watch me have fun with her, otherwise.”
As the man spoke, a sinister sneer materialized on his face.
Hailey turned around involuntarily and faced the two people again. The two did not see Hailey’s facial appearance carefully during the previous conversation, but now, after a detailed look…
‘Oh boy! She is truly a beauty of unparalleled proportions!’
Hailey operated a beauty salon, and during her previous cooperation with Alex, she often used a variety of highly effective beauty products at home. As a result, she looked indescribably beautiful, with skin as pretty as white jade and a shapely figure.
Furthermore, Alex was not stingy with her.
She had also consumed pills, spiritual beast meat, and even dumplings made of heavenly law fruits. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that she looked barely twenty and surpassed the beauty of many stars.
The two disciples looked at each other, revealing tacit smiles at the same time.
“Lassie, it’s your lucky day! Your serendipity has arrived!”
“We are Sword Immortals from the Returning Sword Sect We have to go out for a trip. Please lead the way for us. Once it is over, we will bestow some serendipity upon you! You will benefit for the rest of your life!”
All Hailey could see, however, were the two men showing some disgusting smile. That kind of smile looked just like her father-in-law’s back then, so how could she not understand the meaning behind it?
She decisively refused them. “I’m sorry. I have something urgent that needs attending to. I can only express my regret on losing this serendipity.”
“What? How dare you refuse good serendipity?”
“I really can’t help it. Please forgive me.”
“What impudence!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2865
The elder disciple’s face darkened immediately. “Do you know what this means? This is blasphemy against the immortals! You are a mere mortal. How dare you refuse an immortal’s request?! Are you not afraid that I will send down a thunderbolt and turn you into ashes?”
Never did Hailey expect that the people from the Returning Sword Sect would do something as brazen as snatching a civilian woman in broad daylight. So, she screamed for help in a moment of desperation.
Smack!
The younger disciple was a little nervous and afraid that Hailey’s voice would lure the young sect master out. It would be terrible if they were discovered, so all he could do was slap Hailey in a fit of excitement.
How could Hailey withstand the slap?
Sent flying, her facial bones were fractured, half of her teeth were knocked out, her nose collapsed, and half of her face was swollen. She was a stunning beauty just now, but the slap had instantly turned her hideous.
After landing on the ground, she spat a large mouthful of blood and lost consciousness.
When the elder disciple saw that, his eyes widened in anger. “Why did you have to hit that hard? Look! Look! She has turned into this hideous thing! How’s she going to be used now?”
The younger disciple’s month was agape. “I didn’t even exert strength…”
After glancing at Hailey, the elder disciple’s ignited flames of lust slowly extinguished. He then said, “Aren’t you going to deal with her? Don’t let the young master see her.”
“How do I deal with her? Kill her?”
“What else? Are you going to treat her?”
“Oh, alright!”
These two people from the Returning Sword Sect had strong cultivation levels-one was a Human Immortal and the other, an Earthly Immortal. They were absolute hotshots who could do whatever they wanted on Earth back then. In fact, the injuries on Hailey were nothing to them, they could restore her to the previous state by using up a few pills at most, but…
Hailey was just a temporary plaything in their eyes. Her value was far less than the pill that could save her. Hence, they would rather kill her and dispose of her than waste a healing pill.
Hailey slowly regained consciousness. She had also heard the conversation between the two people, and it broke her heart.
The lives of ordinary people were truly nothing but mud to people like them.
“Am I going to die?”
“The person Mommy misses the most is you, Zoey!”
“You will be lonely if Mammy isn’tby your side in the future. You have to stay strong and be obedient…”
“Bro, are you here to take me to River Styx? You rascal! How could you die? You’re so powerful. You can’t die. Do you know how many woman’s hearts you’ll break if you leave?”
She murmured as though bidding farewell to this world.
“Will you feel heartbroken for me?”
That dreamlike man bent down and gently picked her up, whispering in her ear. His movement was soft and gentle, as if he was holding a newborn in his arms…
Hailey’ s consciousness became foggy again.
“When you were alive, I could only envy other women. I’ll have your embrace instead after your death. Hold me tighter, brother. In fact, I have always fancied you…”
After saying those words, she felt strange energy sent into her body. It was comfortable, and her body seemed afloat.
“Sleep well! Everything will be fine once you are awake!” that man’s gentle voice rang in her mind.
Of course, it was not a dream!
It was… Alex! He had come back after teleporting over a great distance!
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2866
The sudden appearance of Alex and Luna stunned the two Returning Sword Sect members. They had certainly popped up in a surprising way. However, once they’d taken a good look at Alex and Luna’s apparent cultivation stages, they let their guard down.
To them, Alex hadn’t even reached Nascent Soul.
On the other hand, although Luna appeared stronger than Alex, she was nothing more than a mere ant to them. They could simply destroy her with a wave of their hands.
“How dare you, a mere little Core Formation, butt in on our sect’s issues? Do you have a death wish?” One of the members, five meters away from Alex, said with a fierce expression.
Upset, he wanted to finish off Hailey quickly, yet these random people came out of nowhere, obviously looking for trouble. This put them at risk of being found out by their sect leader.
“Returning Sword Sect?” Alex looked at Hailey sadly.
‘To think that such a beautiful lady would be beaten up like this…’
Her last sentence, especially, caused Alex’s heart to quiver.
He was burning with anger, and although the rage kept piling up, he appeared as calm as a body of still water. He then lifted his head and saw the tablet hanging over the door.
“Hahaha!” Alex laughed out. The more he laughed, the colder his expression became.
The Returning Sword Sect member was instantly triggered. “Where did this dumbass come frotn? Stop putting on your little psychotic act in front of our courtyard. You’re insulting our sect, and you deserve to die!”
Alex’s laughs halted. His eyes shot a cold glare as his deadly aura felt like it could actually kill.
“I’m standing in front of my own house laughing, and for that, I deserve death?”
“How are you people going to pay then? You took over my house and chased my family away. What’s more, you even beat up and tried to kill my sworn sister in the yard.”
The man was stunned. “You’re… A Rockefeller?”
Alex stayed silent and looked around the manor… The formation he placed here was still here, yet there were no signs of damage.
‘That’s funny… The Seventy-two Heavenly Immortal-slaying Formation hasn’t been broken… How could the Returning Sword Sect have taken over?’
‘Unless someone deliberately opened the door and told them how to enter. But that doesn’t make sense either!’
The other man frowned. They’d stayed here for far too long, and Alex’s voice was quite loud. The people inside could’ve heard them. He immediately said to the other man, “Brother, don’t drag things on any longer. Just kill them off right now.”
His sworn brother nodded, pulling out a meter and a half lang silver longsword. It flashed with rainbow light and emitted a green glint as he swung it and charged towards Alex.
He said as he ran, “This attack is called Meteor Shower! Be honored that you die under my sword!”
His attack was aimed at Alex and Hailey.
Since Luna was a rare beauty, her charm was even stronger than Hailey. Moreover, she was a cultivator. Hence, the man had automatically listed her as his prey and possession, and he didn’t target her.
Luna looked at the man’s attack yet continued to remain calm and unwavering. She believed that Alex could kill the Human Immortal easily.
“Die!” Alex didn’t even move a single step as he faced the attack. He merely grabbed onto Hailey with one hand while he raised his other, pointing to the tip of the sword with one finger.
“What? You’re just countering the attack with one finger?”
“Do you really have a death wish?”
Both disciples were completely stunned. They thought Alex had been stricken by fear. One wouldn’t do something so mind- boggling if they were sane.
‘Does he think he’s some Heavenly King?’
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2867
In the next second, an unbelievable scene took place. Alex’s finger touched the tip of the sword, but it didn’t get pierced. Instead, he managed to stop the attack.
The sword was quickly frozen, along with some hissing, turning into an ice sword. The man was instantly frozen into an ice statue by the extreme cold temperature.
“What?”
“What happened? How is this possible?”
The other man’s pupils shrunk in disbelief. In the next second, he heard a crackling sound, and a fracture appeared on the mystical sword of his partner.
It slowly widened until dense cracks appeared on his partner’s body as well.
A few seconds later, a loud clang filled the air. His sworn brother’s body, along with his clothes and sword, had broken into crushed ice like it was glass.
“Brother?!” The man shouted, his voice shaking. Not only because he’d lost his comrade, but only because he feared Alex.
Since they viewed him as a weak Core Formation guy, they never expected Alex to be so deadly. His brother was supposed to be so much stronger than this guy, after all.
“Who… Who are you?”
“It’s impossible for the Wastelands to have someone as powerful as you… You… You’re not at the Core Formation stage. You hid your true cultivation! Is that right? What stage are you really at?”
Facing Alex’s cold, deadly look, the man stepped back slowly.
Alex, however, extended his finger to beckon him over. Yet the man couldn’t possibly dare to take another step. He definitely knew that Alex was not just at Core Formation.
‘He must be at least an Immortal Monarch if he could kill his partner so easily.’
“If you move another step, you’ll end up just like your brother,” Alex said coolly.
“Huh..?” The man shuddered from head to toe. He took a look at the pieces of flesh on the floor and stopped in his tracks.
“What… What are you going to do?”
Alex said, “Nothing much. I just want to borrow your soul.”
Hearing that answer, the man knew Alex wouldn’t let him go easily. He turned around and ran quickly towards Rockefeller Manor without hesitation.
Before he could run further than three meters, he felt a cold, deadly aura wrapping around his body and holding him down on the ground. He could clearly feel the life in his body extinguish into wisps of chili. Only his soul remained.
In the next second, his soul could feel terrifying mental strength rushing in and searching his memories. Endless pain accompanied the process. He wanted to scream and struggle, wanting his soul dead even. Yet there was no way to escape his soul being searched.
When Alex had gone through the man’s memories, his fury only increased and his body was overwhelmed with a deadly aura. With a soft tap of his hand, the man turned into a heap of ice.
“Honey, what did you see?” Luna asked.
“Death!”
Alex sent some divine power into Hailey’s body and placed her gently into the Cleansing Vase. He then took ginger steps towards Rockefeller Manor.
“Honey, what are you going to do?”
“Of course… I’m going home! It’s our right to return. I’ll kill whoever dares come in our way!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2868
Boom!
Alex looked at the tablet on the lintel. It was an eyesore to him, so he sent out a wave of mystical energy and destroyed it. Just as he was about to walk into the manor, he took another look at the tall gates that were painted red and frowned.
“Honey, what’s wrong?” Luna noticed Alex’s expression and asked.
Alex replied, “This isn’t the original door. It’s been replaced.”
Luna squinted. “If these aren’t our doors, keeping them would only dirty our eyes.”
Almost instantly, her devilish instincts took over, and she kicked the doors down.
Bang!
Aloud explosion shook the silence in the air. The two doors exploding from the kick, the powerful Chi sent countless wooden shreds flying in. Even the door frame was destroyed.
Alex squinted his eyes. His divine eye activated, allowing him insight into what had happened.
A young man in white bought a group of men here.
He destroyed their gates with one slash of his sword and swore that Rockefeller Manor belonged to the Returning Sword Sect from then onward.
They were simply unreasonable, using force to get their way. With a change of scenes, Alex saw another incident.
It was the same group from Returning Sword Sect. Led by the man in white, they’d tied up hundreds of commoners. Being the backbones of the Thousand Miles Conglomerate, Alex knew some of them. Waltz’s brother, Azure, was also included in the group of hostages.
The Returning Sword Sect had taken members of the conglomerate hostage, threatening the Rockefellers by making them leave the manor.
Without warning, they killed half of the people there. The spilled blood was enough to fill a river as if slaughtering livestock. It was sad to see such an ancient sect being no different from demons.
In the end, It still showed the same man in white… This time, he’d caught the Stoermers of Michigan. He used Daya’s family as a tool to force the Rockefellers to tell him the correct way to enter the formation.
“So that’s why!” Alex’s confusion was solved.
However, it only made him hate the Returning Sword Sect more.
‘What kind of demonic sect is this?’
Moreover, while Alex searched one of the disciples’ souls earlier, he’d found out about many things… Such as them leaving to Mount Dragon-Tiger to send Beatrice because their young master was attracted by her beauty and talent.
From the man’s memories, their young master wanted her so badly because she possessed the rare Requintado Body.
People with this type could enter the state of divinity as they wished as the borders between body and soul blurred. Under that state, the training speed would be multiple times the usual, even a hundred times quicker. However, only women could naturally possess such a body.
It made them quite the rare gem, one of high quality. Once a man had taken over their Yin, it would merge with his Yang, allowing him to possess the same talent.
Alex was slightly surprised, never expecting Beatrice to own such a quality.
Although the Ultimate Book of Medicine wrote about different types of bodies, there were truly too many in the world. Since the book didn’t focus on such a topic, he didn’t know much about Beatrice’s talents.
‘It‘s dangerous for her to have such a strange body type,’ Alex thought while holding onto Luna and walking in.
Soon, the Returning Sword Sect members who had heard the ruckus rushed out.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2869
At the time, only a few troops were hanging around the gates of Rockefeller Manor.
One happened to be a disguised Flying Eagles member, monitoring all movements of the Returning Sword Sect. They witnessed Alex’s return with their own eyes and saw how he killed two Returning Sword Sect members. Their jaws dropped in shock.
The Flying Eagles had been beaten into a sorry state, and they had no choice but to hide from them. To be extra cautious while spying on the sect, they had stuck on multiple Camouflage Talismans on their bodies provided by Xerxes to avoid being spotted by the fairies. They were aggrieved yet couldn’t do anything, having just seen an instant kill.
Moreover, it happened just like that, without any warning whatsoever. Alex even held a girl’s hand and kicked down the door.
“Quick, report this to the tactician!”
“Wait, why do I feel like this girl looks familiar? Where have I seen her…?”
“Ah, I remember, isn’t she Principal Henderson’s eldest daughter, Luna…”
“Quick, get Principal Henderson on the line…”
The entire group naturally became super excited.
Since the appearance of the six ancient sects, the American government had been humiliated and embarrassed. They couldn’t beat these sects, come what may, as they weren’t on the same power level.
If their contradictions intensified, these sects would go all out like the Rakshasa Temple incident that wiped out half of the city. As a result, the leaders of America were forced to bend over. Not only that, but it would also threaten the lives of American leaders.
In the face of the fairies, lives could be easily snatched away, no matter how highly ranked they were.
Under such circumstances, the Flying Eagles were useless. They were completely subdued and didn’t dare to be reckless.
Alex had been an unexpected variable to them.
The second group was SwitchTV paparazzi…
SwitchTV used to be alive streaming platform. Although it still existed, SwitchTV’s views had hit rock bottom ever since Michelle left and established her own streaming platform.
They hated her, and they hated Alex as well since he supported her. Thus, when the news of Alex dying in the dungeon came out, everyone at SwitchTV became ecstatic. Further news of the siege of Rockefeller Manor and the severely injured Michelle was great news to them too.
Michelle’s platform was subsequently shut down, and SwitchTV became the leading platform again.
Hence, SwitchTV had a new plan this time. Apart from livestreaming, they would also rush to the frontlines of the cultivation world whenever there was important news. They even hired some of the Awakened and powerful cultivators to do so.
There were a few people spying on Rockefeller Manor at the time. They were able to do so as they could hide from the divine consciousness of the guards, even after they had scanned the area.
“It’s Alex and Luna!”
“I heard that Alex died in the dungeon. He’s been gone for six months, and who knew that he’d survive. This is definitely breaking news! The boss will have to pay us a huge sum for this.”
“Unfortunately, we couldn’t record them after they went in, or it would’ve been worth more.”
“D*mn it!” A woman said as she licked her lips.
One of the Awakened, she was able to turn invisible and fly, God-sent abilities for a job like a paparazzi. Hence, her code name was Nightingale.
More importantly, she was stunning and curvy. Her clothes were rather provocative as well, leaving a deep cleavage that would leave anyone dizzy and hot on bare display.
“Nightingale, I think you’d better stay here. I’ll bet you that Alex will soon get his a*s kicked out.”
“Yeah, he’s been missing for half a year. He has no idea how strong the Returning Sword Sect is. He’ll only get killed for going in so recklessly.”
Nightingale rolled her eyes. “If I could get footage of Alex being murdered, the boss would definitely pay us more. Don’t worry. Their focus isn’t on me now. No one will notice me unless you all betray me. Would you do that?”
Nightingale looked at them suggestively, making all the men kneel in defeat.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2870
On the other hand, the paparazzi from SwitchTV wouldn’t be that kind and wait for Nightingale to send the footage to the boss. Whoever spilled the news first would naturally get paid first.
Thus, when the Flying Eagles called their tactician, Eleanor, the people at SwitchTV had gotten the news about Alex’s survival at the same time.
“Alex Rockefeller is actually alive?”
“And he charged into Returning Zeal Headquarters?”
“This… This is breaking news, right? Should we broadcast it?”
Being enemies with Alex, the directors of SwitchTV were a little hesitant If they broadcast the news on their platform, it would be advertising Alex and cheering him on in one way or another.
If that were to happen, Michelle’s platform could recover again. Even though she was dead, the broadcaster could be replaced by many other ‘Michelle’s’ as long as Alex supported them.
“Hold it down first. We’ll see how it goes,” the big boss decided. “We’re no longer in America we knew half a year ago. Since Rockefeller is Jade’s disciple, if she were to be defeated by the Returning Sword Sect, he wouldn’t be able to do anything. Not even the government could control these sects.”
He paused before his chubby face lifted into a smile. “I have a hunch that within five minutes, news of his actual death would come out.”
However, it only took thirty seconds for the secretary to come into the meeting room. “Sir, Michelle’s livestream is broadcasting again!”
When he heard that, the CEO of SwitchTV, Jordan Felch, was stunned and stood up abruptly.
“Who’s broadcasting? Isn’t Michelle dead?”
The secretary said, “It’s a pig.”
Someone quickly understood. “It’s Alex’s pet. Its name is Pigsy. It really is a pig.”
The secretary nodded. “That’s right. It’s Pigsy. And the headline, King Alex has returned. Returning Sword Sect, surrender now and face death.”
Jordan guffawed. “He really is a bad teammate. Does he want Alex to die faster?” the secretary commented. “But… Other platforms are all sharing the news. It has now became a hit, and our viewers have decreased by seventy percent”
“What? Hmph! That’s fine. The higher they climb, the harder they’ll fall! Watch and see. The young master of the Returning Sword Sect isn’t a patient guy. These people who’ve cheered Alex on now will have to cry later…”
“Oh right, the elder of Returning Zeal Headquarters had given me his name card last time. I’ll contact him. We might get some surprising news.”
***
At Rockefeller Manor, Alex was about to kill all the disciples of the Returning Sword Sect who’d charge at him.
Just then, someone shouted behind him. “Boss!”
‘Who’s that?’
Alex turned, only to see Pigsy. He was glad to see someone from his side.
“How are you here so fast? Did the Mystic Maiden notify you?”
Pigsy said, “Yeah, the Mystic Maiden is hurt. She’s been injured by that son of a b*tch, the young master of the Returning Sword Sect. Her body was almost destroyed.” As it spoke, tears started dropping from his eyes.
Alex’s heart tightened immediately. “She’s that badly hurt?”
To his surprise, Pigsy told him another piece of unbelievable news. “Boss, your mom is also severely injured and is still unconscious. Ynes, too, her energy core is shattered. The doctor said… She has only three days left.”
“Huh..?” Alex was completely shocked. He didn’t know about this and automatically turned to Luna.
Luna was stunned too. “When did this happen? I’ve never heard about it.”
“Three months ago,” Pigsy replied.
Alex asked. “Who did it?”
“Rakshasa Temple, but the Returning Sword Sect participated too.”
Hearing such critical news, Alex knew he had to save his friends and family first, no matter how much hatred and malice he harbored in his heart.
However, someone was unwilling to let him go.
The men of Returning Sword Sect rushed over, surrounding Alex and the others. “Are you really leaving after knocking our gates down? What in the world are you thinking?”
“Oh, I was wandering who it was. So it’s you, you little white piggy. You only managed to escape the last time because of luck. Who would’ve thought you’d return to fulfill your death wish? This is great I’m craving some pig trotters anyway. I’ll be cutting off your limbs then.”
These people from the Returning Sword Sect still had no idea that Alex had just killed two of their comrades with one blow.
