359 Anya

"Bring me all the cards. I am going to summon them here." Alex said.

Anna nodded.

"System, use my UR EXP card to Nelson," Alex said while waiting for Anna to come back. He also had another reason why he chose Nelson over Anna or Leoz.

Nelson was stationed in the Zhou Kingdom. And their threat level was far above the other influences. In other words, Nelson was in the most dangerous spot.

Nelson had said that he could not do something more because his strength was not enough. By raising his strength, Alex might get more information that would be crucial later. Of course, he could summon him if he needed him to fight later.

"By the way, Nelson, can you eliminate the entire Southern Kingdom's royal family later?" Alex asked. He thought it would be too troublesome if he killed their entire royal family from head-on. After all, many people would try to revenge them later.

But if he asked Nelson to assassinate all of them, they would not know who did it. He could then ask Nelson to put a warning, saying something like 'Southern Kingdom has offended someone who they can't afford to offend. Exterminating Kasmanan Family and Makmur Family is not enough, so 'we' exterminated the entire Royal Family. Should the Southern Kingdom do it once more, it would be the end of the Southern Kingdom.'

It would be enough to instill a deep fear against them. Of course, with Ngina over there, he should be able to investigate their movement. However, Alex predicted there wouldn't be anyone that tried to do something funny again.

First, they did not know it was him. Second, those prominent families will try to fight for the throne. With that kind of internal strife, they would not have the time to bother him again. It would be perfect.

"Yes, I can. But I need to do it within a day. With my True Spirit Body, I can make a few shadows to take over my job in the Zhou Kingdom that could last for a few days. These shadows are useful for scouting but have no strength for fighting. After I summon them, Young Master can call me there with the card.

"That way, I can do both my jobs simultaneously. And with my True Spirit Body, I can finish all of them easily."

"I see… How about you help me in this war against the Southern Kingdom. After that, I think I can teleport you all the way to the Southern Kingdom. Though with my current power, I need to teleport you a few times. It might be exhausting but still doable." Alex said.

Nelson thought a bit. "The Southern Kingdom is not that hard as they did not have any Martial King. So, I think I can finish in a few hours."

"Alright. Contact me if you finish your business in the Zhou Kingdom."

"Understood."

After Anna came back with the other cards, he summoned all of them except the 'spies.'

"I will talk with Elder Charya first. But most likely, we will fight with the Southern Kingdom. So, prepare for it. Anya will take care of the planning, and Noah will do the scouting. Make sure you keep track of their position."

As soon as he finished giving his order, he left the house to Charya's house. She had told him if he wanted to meet her, he could just enter without informing her of the crystal. Alex then made his way toward her house.

Alex activated his Spirit Eyes to search for her. She was in the meeting hall. But, when he was just about to knock the door, Charya already said, "Come in."

It seemed she had noticed his presence. Alex then opened the door and came in.

"I thought you would come sooner or later," Charya said.

Alex's eyes widened in astonishment.

"The Mount Hua Sect brazenly used this chaotic situation to force us. Basically, I never thought just by having Evelyn suddenly come back to this sect, make them have a reason to bully us. Mount Hua Sect and Thiveapia Kingdom… How is Evelyn's progress?" Charya asked.

"She is coming back to the Thiveapia Kingdom… She said she wants to convince them to stop the war, but…" Alex paused a bit before Charya suddenly sighed.

"As expected, this is not easy, huh…"

"Yeah, with their envoy killed in the kingdom. I am sure they are forced by the situation." Alex said.

"I know. We could buy time for these two influences, or we can hide inside the sect using your Master's barrier. But we need to be careful in the Grand Tournament as our influence might be targeted by them." Charya said.

Alex never thought about the Grand Tournament when he thought about his plan. Maybe, because Charya did not know about his information and circumstances made her think about the Grand Tournament.

"But the problem is… because their target is you. I am sure the Southern Kingdom will be involved in this battle. And if I am not wrong, Zhou Kingdom also tried to kill you or something?"

"Yes." Alex nodded.

"I am afraid we will be attacked by four influences this time. So, the only way is to hole up inside your Master's barrier. Old Xiang… I mean, the sect master already sent a notice to the disciple around the continent to come back."

Alex was astonished to see the sect master already did this. Because he was in here, he never bothered to use a spy in this sect, so he never knew it.

"Well, our sect might already be exterminated a few months ago if not because of you. After all, they did not come solely because of you. So, the sect master decided to seal this news for a bit longer." She said.

Alex contemplated a bit before he said, "According to Evelyn, with the disappearance of Thiveapia Kingdom's crown prince, they only had one worthy successor left, which is Evelyn. So, she wanted to go back to convince them. But assuming it fails, I already have a countermeasure for that.

"Since she is that important, as long as we kidn- cough, bring her back to this sect. I am sure they would not attack us that easily. So at least they will halt their advance for a while." Alex said.

"What are you trying to say?" Charya looked at him while narrowing her eyes.

"What I want to say is that there will be only two influences that will attack us, Mount Hua Sect and the Southern Kingdom. I can take care of the Southern Kingdom on my own, but I am wondering if Heavenly Sword Sect can fight Mount Hua Sect alone?"

"What do you mean? Mount Hua Sect and the Southern Kingdom?" Charya was bewildered. They were discussing the attack from four influences. Although Alex said, he could do something for the Thiveapia Kingdom with Evelyn. There was still the Zhou Kingdom.

Alex also knew why she was confused. He said, "Don't mind about the Zhou Kingdom. They won't be able to attack us. I guarantee you."

"Is that so?" Charya frowned as she could not believe it yet. After a few seconds, she thought Alex might be using another help like his master back then, maybe his master's item or whatever. So, she decided to trust him. "If it is the case, then Heavenly Sword Sect is not afraid of Mount Hua Sect."

She was telling him that they could handle Mount Hua Sect alone.

"Unlike Kingdoms, which had many towns and cities in their territory, we only have Heavenly Sword Town. It was also the same for the other sects. So, when we are attacked like this, we don't need to protect many cities. So, if something goes wrong, we can go back to this sect and activate your master's barrier." Charya said.

"Well, that's it. I just want to tell you that I will be leaving the sect to deal with the Southern Kingdom. But please don't tell anyone about this… even if you tell the sect master, please make sure he keeps this secret. You will know why I want it later." Alex said.

"Are you sure you can fight the Southern Kingdom alone?" Charya asked, worried.

"I have good friends." Alex only said that instead of answering her. But it was enough for Charya. If Alex was confident like this, it should be fine to leave him alone.

"Alright. The moment Evelyn reaches her kingdom, I think the soldiers will move again, and we will know who attacked us and who did not." Charya said.

"Yeah. I just hope there will be only four of them." Alex nodded. "Then, I need to go back first."

"Yeah. I will report this to the sect master."

Alex then left Charya's house.

As soon as he came inside his house, it seemed most of his spirits were already gone. He only saw Anna, Anya, Jeanne, and Greg. "Where are the others?"

"Leoz is going to check the frontline with Noah. Fabio and Vera are going to check their escape route." Anna answered.

"I see." Alex nodded.

"Then, since the situation is currently standing still for a few days. How about making love, Alex?" Anya suddenly came and grabbed his hand, trying to seduce him by letting him feel her breast.

Alex shook his head helplessly. "Sorry. But I still can't…"

"Hehe… I know." Anya did not become downhearted when she heard that. Instead, she just brushed it off with a smile. "I am just worried about you. Look, even if I do this, you did not kick me, brush me away, or whatever. This is showing that you are too concerned about this situation.

"It is good to be focused, but if you are too focused and act unnaturally, it is guaranteed to be passed down to us. We are concerned about you, so how can we not be affected if you become like this?

"If you can't even joke around in a moment like this. It means you are too focused on this matter. Of course, it will be different if we are in a pinch, but this situation has yet to reach that level."

Alex looked at her without saying anything.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you fall in love with me because of this? I don't really mind though… you can even push me down right now." Anya tried to tease him again.

Alex shook his head helplessly. But this time, there was a trace of a smile on his face. "Thank you. But how long do you plan in this situation?"

Anya knew what he was talking about. She was still hugging his hand, trying to bury it inside her cleavage. As soon as she heard that word, she immediately grinned. "Forever… Oh wait, I can't say forever. You can push me down if I stay like this forever.

"Then, how about for a few more minutes? I can tease your body within that time, and then after that, we can enjoy a hot and steamy night… I don't mind if we continue with Anna tog-gyaaaaa!"

Alex used his nine dragon strength to grasp her head while twitching his eyebrows. As soon as she felt the pain, she immediately released his hand and clutched her head in pain. Of course, Alex was not seriously hurting her.

"Alright. You can do everything you want in the house since I will be cultivating for a bit." Alex said to Jeanne and Greg.

"What? Do you really mean that, Alex? You can't take it back, you know... Fufu, I can do everything I want… sleeping in Alex's bed-Hogya!" Anya, who was holding her head in pain, suddenly spoke. And her words… made Alex hit her head.

"Anna…" Alex looked at Anna with a weird expression.

"Ugh... She is smart… but umm, I am sorry." Anna shook her head, ashamed.

"Wait, Anna! You should say a good thing about me to Alex! How can you betray me? Uh… the only person that can comfort me is Alex… Uuu.." Anya said in a pitiful tone while glancing at Alex again and again.

Alex only ignored her and turned to Jeanne. "You will get that Princess Mega."

Jeanne grinned when she heard that. "Master is the best."
