Chapter 778 - Return
"Boom!" The explosion shook the entire Snow White Mountain. Not only it created a huge shock wave to the surrounding, but the thunderous sound also reverberated in everyone\'s ears.
*Rumble Rumble!*
The thunderous sound seemed to be followed by a rumbling sound, which obviously didn\'t come from that Thunder God Cannon. The elders immediately realized what just happened and looked at the mountain, watching how the snow that covered their mighty mountain suddenly fell down, causing an avalanche.
"!!!"
When the smoke disappeared, the sect master and the two elders were in shock. That attack just now was a few times stronger than their most powerful attacks. If that attack hit them, it would probably have heavily injured them.
Even so, it was not the time for them to be amazed. A normal 7-Star Martial Saint shouldn\'t be able to materialize that kind of attack under normal conditions, so they knew Leoz must have utilized almost all his energy in that attack.
That\'s why the sect master didn\'t waste even a single second and commanded. "One elder is going to inform the group behind us to have a few of them stop the avalanche and have the rest to follow us. We shouldn\'t let them escape after doing this!"
"That\'s right. We shouldn\'t forgive them after they killed our ancestor!"
"Kill!"
The group was enraged, despite watching how Alex\'s group disappeared after that attack. They simply had another assurance they could use, and one of the elders asked the sect master for it. "Sect Master. I would like to ask your permission to activate the Great Array to trap them here."
"If that kind of attack is launched again, it will require too many resources, but we certainly can\'t let them go like this. Go to the Array Room and activate it. We will see whether they are faster or we are." The sect master nodded.
That elder nodded and flew to the sky while the others began their chase.
Meanwhile, Alex and his group had gone too far with his Space Element.
"Master…" Even though she had seen it once, she still couldn\'t believe that Alex had two elements, with one of them being Space Element. However, it also made her worry because Letizia obviously knew about the array that covered the entire Snow White Mountain.
If Alex escaped just like this, they would surely suspect him for having such an element, so she said. "There is…"
"I know there is an array." Alex stopped her with a calm expression. "I have found it the moment I enter this place, and I have found its location. Remember how the elders need to go check the prison manually instead of informing them with a token or something?"
"Yes." She nodded.
"There must be a requirement to enter the valley… No, it might be related to the ritual itself. They need to go there manually if they want to activate the array. With our normal pace, we indeed wouldn\'t be able to leave the sect since the array is covering a vast area.
"However, you should know about our reputation out there. It is nothing extraordinary if we can escape. In fact, it will simply raise our reputation even further." Alex explained carefully.
"I see. I am sorry for disturbing you." Letizia nodded and stepped back.
"It\'s fine. You are free to voice your opinion since I want someone, not a thing that can only nod and comply." Alex shook his head before looking at Viola. "With this, I have fulfilled the condition for Snow White Mountain to join the alliance as well as fulfilling her revenge. I will send you to the Freedom Sect after this and have Licht arrange an army."
"Alright. We are going to wait in front of the cave when the time is near." Viola nodded.
"Yeah. You can come with that Spatial Gate since it shouldn\'t require a huge amount of Spiritual Energy to use the Spatial Gate." Alex nodded, remembering how the elders and disciples used their Spatial Gate to suck all the water from the ocean when the Earthquake struck.
"That\'s the plan. How long do you think the war will start?"
"Six months to a year… And this one is going to be big because the Snow White Mountain is going all out. If the Fire God Clan is also the same, it will be troublesome because we won\'t escape unscathed this time." Alex sighed.
"Fair enough. That\'s why you want the Ancient Blue Family to be your agent right?" Viola smirked as she just realized why Alex\'s plan.
"Yeah. I want them to have confidence in war, so they won\'t bring everything with them. If the Ancient Blue Family can successfully raise their confidence, it shouldn\'t be a problem. After all, there must be many Array Plates, Pills, and Weapons in their treasury, so it will be a hard fight." Alex nodded with a smile.
"Everything seems to be according to your plan. You are really a freak." Viola shook her head in defeat. "I don\'t know why, but your master seems to be mediocre compared to you."
"Overpraised. I am just a careful person." Alex shook his head.
"No, it\'s still an understatement. You have raised their hope high only to drop it with a harsh reality. You are a devil." Viola raised her hand and gave up.
"High? That is not high enough." Alex grinned.
"Another plan?"
"Yeah. But I won\'t tell you for the time being." Alex nodded.
"Whatever. You are like the mastermind of the biggest evil force you know. Scheming everything until it is to your liking and kill them in despair."
"No matter what you say, it\'s the best option while lowering our casualties." Alex shrugged.
"Anyway, let\'s go back."
"Sure." Alex used his Teleportation Array to send them to their base.
Unbeknownst to them, they just managed to anger the sect master until she spat blood.
"Sect Master?" The elders\' faces became pale as they saw how their mighty Sect Master fell on her knees.
"We have let the Fire God Clan wait for too long. Answer them… No, I will go to them immediately. Make sure the Ancient Blue Family joins too." The sect master stopped them from coming to her.
She had been releasing her killing intent this whole time due to this accident. She etched Alex\'s appearance in his mind and made sure she would kill him in this war.
"Ye-yes!" The elders nodded furiously.
"Should we still pursue them or arrange a big investigation?"
"No!" The sect master shook her head. "They will just become the prey of the Spirit Nest. For now, I want all of you to prepare for the war."
"Understood."
They soon closed their gate and became busy.
…
On the other hand, Alex was sipping his tea in their base and relaxed his mind. He looked at Letizia, who brought him the tea. She seemed to assume her position immediately as soon as they arrived at the base. Or it might because she felt guilty since this accident only happened because Alex wanted to save and avenge her.
Alex didn\'t care for such a thing. He sighed. "Now that I have sent Elder Viola back, do you want to say something to me?"
Letizia\'s body shook and bowed almost ninety degrees. "Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Master. And I also want to apologize that you get caught in this mess because of me."
"It\'s true that my priority is to save you, but I also have another mission… Well, I think allowing you to have your revenge and finishing my own objective is like two birds in one stone. So, you don\'t need to feel guilty about it." Alex shook his head and calmed her with his gentle smile.
Letizia was touched once again when she heard how Alex\'s priority was to rescue her instead of a big mission. It also meant that his people were more important than any other mission.
"Anyway, this is our base. Since you have officially joined our Spirit Nest, ask the system to explain everything about the system. After that, ask Anya about the current condition of our Spirit Nest. If you have finished these two, you can start cultivating and trigger that tribulation." Alex nodded.
"Understood."
"What are you going to do after this?" Anya asked.
"I want to send a letter to the Ancient Blue Family." Alex smirked as another good plan flashed in his mind. "I will tell you about it later."
…
An hour later.
Rio had finalized the meeting and soon returned to his room. However, he suddenly felt a presence coming from his room and raised his guard. He took out his weapon and slowly walked inside his room, only to find a male standing near the window as if he was waiting for Rio.
"Who are you?!" Rio\'s senses were tingling the moment he found this man. He didn\'t know why, but he could sense that this person wasn\'t a human.
"I am here to pass my Master\'s message." Nano bowed his head and tossed the letter to him.
Rio took it and glanced at it for a split second, but when his gaze returned to that person, the latter already disappeared. Rio took a deep breath and opened the letter carefully.
This is Alexander Sirius.
I am going to be brief. Snow White Mountain and Fire God Clan should approach you soon and talk about the alliance.
I want you to raise their confidence… In fact, you can simply say that your family can finally fulfill its wish because of you as a genius.
With that high morale, I want you to say that you have figured out my Spirit Nest and tell them that the Spirit Nest only has less than twenty people… Or at least, that\'s the number that will go to war. In other words, the battle will become three versus two.
I have presented proof in the other letter, and you can use it to your advantage in this negotiation. Those who think they will win will surely have their back open… I am sure you understand this.
Yes. I want them to think that way and lower their guard. I believe you can, especially since the Snow White Mountain is full of anger right now.
You don\'t need to worry about the Divine Kingdom and Phantasm Sect. I can assure you they won\'t join, so you won\'t have to bear more pressure in this negotiation.
Thank you for your help in advance. Alexander Sirius.
"..." Rio was stunned and amazed at the same time. The Ancient Blue Family would surely get exterminated if they joined this alliance because of a plan like this. He shook his head and sighed before taking the letter to his father.
A few minutes later, inside a room where two people faced each other with a few papers on the table.
"I give up. There is nothing that can save Snow White Mountain and Fire God Clan. With this plan, Alexander Sirius has taken the greatest threat in this war. Of course, we need to play our part in this." Davi paused for a moment and asked. "And what is your opinion of how he sent us a message like this?"
"I have only one word. Scary," Rio said with a serious expression. "With a highly skilled person like that, Alexander Sirius might be able to kill one of us without being noticed. Even if that person is so powerful like you, he can simply use poison and weaken you before ultimately killing you."
"That\'s right. Still, I have a feeling that there are a few truths in this letter. The Spirit Nest might indeed be a small influence, and they have never existed in the past. In other words, Alexander Sirius has successfully deceived everyone this whole time…
"And I believe this influence will go with him as soon as he leaves this world. A real leader should know when to back off and wait patiently… Luckily, I did the same. It\'s not good to have a conflict with Alexander Sirius in this era." Davi let out a long sigh.
"Yes. Since Father is going there, I will handle everything in the family." Rio nodded with a serious expression.
"Good. I will handle these letters first." Davi took the letters and left the room.
