Chapter 2091  Darkspine Forest

The young man saw the anger in Alex's eyes and began showing fear. "I- i- I can't tell you," he said. "I—"

His voice cut off mid-sentence as something else happened to his body. At the same time, both Alex and Fang Yuxie realized what was happening.

The young Saint was about to detonate his body in the middle of the room. Fang Yuxie put up a defensive technique around herself and quickly ran outside to protect the customers that were in there. She would be fine as an Immortal, but should their weaker customers as well as the staff be dragged into it, they would die.

As soon as she was out, she immediately turned around and used her Qi to create a makeshift barrier to protect everyone. She waited for the explosion and… And it never came.

She continued putting it on, wondering if the young man had delayed the explosion by chance. Alas, even after waiting for more seconds, nothing happened. This was confusing to be sure.

She sent her Spiritual sense inside to see what the situation was and found Alex alone in the room, the talisman in his hand clutched tightly.

She put down her barrier and quickly walked inside. "What's wrong? Where's the kid?" she asked.

"Dead," Alex said and turned around, walking out of the room. "Dead?" she asked as she couldn't see a single sign of an explosion. Where was the explosion? If no explosion, where was the corpse?

"I need to go somewhere," he said. "Do not follow me."

"What's going on?" Fang Yuxie worried.

"I'll let you know later," Alex said and walked away. As per the talisman's instructions, he wanted no one to follow him.

Alex walked through the city alone, unsure what it was that he needed to do. Very soon, he was flying, doing his best to arrive at the location he was called over to as soon as he could.

He needed to make some basic preparations for his own survival right now. The very first thing he did was ask Whisker to go bring Pearl out from the Timeless Palace. Pearl was the only one who could protect him at the moment.

The next thing he needed to protect himself was the teleportation dial. In case he couldn't do anything, he had to run away.

It would have been wise to call over someone else to help him, but given the situation, it was too dangerous.

The person who called him outside of the city, closer to the Darkspine forest to the south had Wang Yanwei with him, and any wrong action on his end could get her killed.

Alex had no idea who this could be, but he had to assume it was someone with enough ability to sense when a Divine realm cultivator was with him. The talisman had said that he had to come alone, or Wang Yanwei would die. Alex couldn't take that risk.

After half an hour of flying outside of the city, Alex finally arrived at the edge of the Darkspine forest, the tall and gloomy forest to the south mirroring his current mental state.

Alex sensed a spiritual sense in him when he arrived, but he couldn't locate the person who it belonged to. He did realize thanks to this that the person who called him over was an actual Immortal, not a Divine realm cultivator.

Whoever it was, they had to be strong to remain outside of his senses.

"I'm here, just as you asked," he said, knowing for certain that the person was listening to him. "Show yourself!"

He suddenly sensed an aura originate a bit to the east. He looked in that direction, and for a moment saw a chance in the air, like a wall of color appearing out of nowhere.

Alex activated his Demon Eyes and the wall of color became permanent. It was a circular wall, like a barrier. On its own, it was invisible, but with his eyes, he could see there was something there.

He slowly walked toward it, cautious the entire time. As he approached the aura became more noticeable, as though the person was drawing him in.

Alex arrived right in front of the wall and took a deep breath. He did not sense anything blocking his path, but he couldn't be sure that wasn't the case when he went inside.

At least, he couldn't sense any spatial manipulation, so running away would be easier. After taking a deep breath, feeling the aura lure him in even more, Alex walked in.

As soon as Alex walked past the wall of colors, the first thing he noticed was the smell in the air. It was as though he had entered a flower garden with fragrant and aromatic flowers, the entire surrounding within the wall smelling in their freshness.

The next thing Alex noticed was the two figures in front of him. His eyes naturally went toward the woman lying on her side on the ground, half awake. Wang Yanwei was barely conscious with a very pale look on her body, drooling from her mouth with some froth coming from her. She shook slightly as if she was cold and shivering. Without even checking on her, Alex could tell she had been poisoned.

He looked toward the figure that stood next to her, and immediately his eyes went wide in surprise. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"You!" he said out loud.

Teng Zhengmian, former Sect master of the Poison Fighters sect, stood in a fully black robe, with his hands behind his back. A terrible smile lay on his face, but there was not a single humor in that smile or happiness. All Alex could see was anger.

"You know how long I've been waiting for this," he said softly. "All these years, ever since you killed my brothers, I've been wanting to find you. Finally, I have found you, and I'm not letting you run away."

The man pulled out a long black chain from his Soul Space, holding it tightly.

"Before I kill you though, I must ask, do you have more Heavenly Silk?" the man asked.

Alex stared at the man, confused for the most part. As far as he could remember, this man was supposed to be dead. The Blue Silk sect had attacked the sect and killed everyone that had been a part of it. Hadn't they?

He knew the sect had been attacked, but beyond that, he had never asked anything else about the sect from the sect elders. Should he have?

"Tell me!" the man demanded.

"Heavenly Silk?" Alex asked. "Even if I have more, why would I ever tell you?"

The man began giggling maniacally, gripping his chain tighter. "I see. Then I'll just have to dig through your corpse to find it. Don't even think about running away from here, or this girl will die."

Alex pulled out Midnight.

Memories of his friend flashed by, the corpse being used by the two brothers to improve themselves. Tai Guidao had died for nothing, and in no way was the man before him not at fault.

"Run away?" he asked. "Don't worry, I have finally had the chance to exact my revenge. Running is the last thing on my mind."
