Chapter 1610 Shang Hongxi
Alex stood where he was, trembling a little, holding onto the Mirror of Barren Truth. He knew what would happen when he activated the artifact, but even then he was quite scared he might get hurt. It was hard to remain calm in the face of an Immortal attack.
The Mirror of Barren Truth was an artifact that returned a single attack that came its way, back toward its originator. It had to be prepared in advance to do so, and Alex had prepared it with Yao Ning, by having her fill it with Immortal Qi.
Had it been anything other than Immortal Qi, the mirror would not have worked at all.
He put back the mirror and looked in the direction of Zhao Boqin, who remained still and wounded on the ground.
"Did he die?" Alex wondered, but a quick sense told him that wasn't the case at all. Instead, the man had only gotten unconscious. As for how long that would be, Alex wouldn't know.
A single 'thank you' floated into his ear before everyone else came to him, trying to ask him questions. They asked him what he did, and some even asked him what the thing he had brought out was.
He didn't answer all the questions but gave enough to quench their curiosities for now. He wondered how much else he was going to have to answer once they returned back to the valley.
On that matter, he wondered if he was even going to return to the valley in the first place. 'I doubt that's happening anymore.'
Alex noticed a few feeding Zhao Boqin something, and his wounds slowly healed. It was the man's own attack, but it sure as hell had done quite a bit of damage. Had he not been teleported away, Alex wouldn't have been surprised if he was dead.
A bit of aura flared from the side and Alex looked in the direction of the girl that was cultivating on the mountaintop. She was close to being done with the breakthrough.
"That's quite fast," one of the men next to him commented. "I wonder if we noticed it a bit too late."
Alex wondered the same as well, but he had a feeling that she was speeding it all up on her own. She had to break through as quickly as possible. She didn't have the luxury to do it any slower.
Zhao Boqin got up in a daze a few minutes later, right around the time the girl was done breaking through as well. She definitely needed to fix up her foundation a little once she was free.
Zhao Boqin was still in a daze when he noticed that the girl was done with the breakthrough and a frown formed on his face. He wanted to go challenge her, but that was when he noticed Alex and remembered what had happened.
He had nearly died to his own techniques.
He wanted to curse at him, but he held his tongue. Disagreeing with a monarch of another kingdom was one thing, but he couldn't call him a bastard or curse him even worse if he wanted to keep his head.
Bigger wars had started with smaller things. He didn't want to start a war. He didn't want to even be in a war.
The last war that took place in this world was 5 thousand years ago. He would be more than happy to keep it that way for the next 5 thousand years still.
He swallowed what he was about to speak and only scowled at Alex.
Alex was about to say something, but even before him, the girl flew out of the mountaintop, landing in the middle of them all.
She wore a blue shawl around her pink robe and stood there almost regally as she flexed her newfound cultivation base.
Everyone stirred backward out of fear. They knew she was strong. Even with her Saint Transformation 3rd realm cultivation base, she could fight people beyond her cultivation base, at nearly Saint Transformation 5th realm.
