507 Something Interesting

The tension started filling the air, making others gulp down. Though Alex gave Song Jia some face, he would not show any mercy to him.

Surprisingly, before anyone made a move, Putri appeared beside the man, swinging her sword at him.

Andre took out his sword instinctively, blocking Putri's sword. Putri then shifted her stance to gather enough footing and blew him away.

"Master, please go on." She clasped her hand.

"Ah, by the way, where is the closest town?" Alex glanced at Song Jia, who pointed out her finger toward Northwest. She believed it would be better for Alex to go before having any casualties.

He nodded and flew away.

On the other hand, Song Jia glared at Andre, releasing a killing intent. "Do you know that your action will cost us a few hundred million, if not billions of Spirit Stones? And you don't even know his identity and already run your mouth around! If my elder sister here, you will already die."

"I… I… I just can't stand him. I don't know who he is, but if he is truly her master, he is a careless master. His disciple has been searching for him since two years ago, and when she finally meets her, it-!"

"Enough!" Before he finished, Putri blew him away again with her spear. "Don't assume everything by yourself and don't talk bad to my master. Even if you are my friend, I will still kill you."

Song Jia only sighed, leaving this matter to her sister. Besides, the earlier incident was hindering her from thinking something good about this situation. It would seem the matter still disturbed her.

Meanwhile, Alex had arrived in the nearest city, wondering what the name of this city was. The city was truly marvelous and he could sense a powerful pressure emanating inside the city.

This was the first time he looked at the Northern Continent. And as expected, their power level was similar to the other world.

He strolled around and found the city was called Minerba. Alex immediately disappeared to an alley and took out Anna's card.

"Anna, I am in Minerba City. Do you know this city?"

"Absolutely. Still, Minerba City, huh… This is a bit farther than I thought," Anna said with a troubled tone.

"What's the matter?"

"Actually, our current base is in the east of this continent. And Minerba City is up north. In fact, if you go a little bit more, you will find a port to the Heavenly Continent. Or do you want to go there?"

"Nah. I could not handle the people over there. I might get stronger faster, but if I need to go through a whole process like Heavenly Sword Sect, I will pass. I don't know what they would do if they knew about my power since the stronger they are, the weirder their power. Besides, I want to see the Strength Plateau first."

"Alright." Anna knew his concern since she was only asking the question as a joke. "The Northern Continent was bigger than we thought, so if I sent Jeanne, she would only arrive after a week, would you wait that long?"

"No." Alex took out a map that Anya made. Although it was not as accurate and lacked many details since she only drew under Anna's explanation, it was still enough for him. "With Anya's map, I see a city called Klard City in the southeast direction and Galapus City in the south direction, I can teleport to them."

"This is the problem. Galapus City is around the Fire God Clan. Going there might be a bad move for us. As for Klard City, it was under Blackwade Clan jurisdiction."

"Then, I can go to Klard City. What is the problem?"

"Well, it would seem the Young Master of the Joyful Union Sect is there now, so if you are going there, you might find him."

"Then, how about a city before Klard City? I think it is better to go there than going to Fire God Clan Territory. Although the map does not have a city, I can buy a general map, I guess." Alex looked down, weighing something in his mind.

"Well, there is a city around that area, but how do I tell you the exact location… I think it is better to go to that town as Jeanne would only need one day to reach that city. And yes, it might be better to get a map of the continent. If I am not wrong, there is a Blackwade Clan branch there so that you can buy a map there."

"Alright. That's our plan for now…" Alex nodded, thinking about Song Jia's group. He thought since they were going back to Blackwade Clan, he was sure they would meet this young master. After all, from his information, the young master was smitten by Song Jia.

That was why when he knew it was the town, he could go in a separate way. Unfortunately, there was a bit of friction earlier and he felt they were too slow.

Making up his mind, he searched for the Blackwade Clan branch in the area and bought a map. He then came out of the city before hiding himself in the woods. The surroundings were safe after getting a glance from his Spirit Eyes. Rank 6 Teleportation Array then appeared with a snap of his finger and teleported him five hundred kilometers away toward the southeast.

The teleportation array appeared once again as soon as he arrived, ready to teleport him again, but Alex sensed a few presences around him. The array dimmed down before vanishing to thin air.

His Spirit Eyes was telling him a group of ten approaching him from the direction he came from. He furrowed his eyebrows, muttering, "Don't tell me…"

His answer came in the form of two females who were Song Jia and Putri. When their eyes intertwined, a weird expression filled their face. All of them thought of the same thing.

'What the heck with this!'

"Master, Are not you in Minerba City?" Putri asked with a complicated expression. On the other hand, Andre was clenching his fists, looking at Alex with killing intent.

"This person…" Alex felt that killing intent. Even his Spirit Eyes were showing him dark energy coming from him, symbolizing the killing intent. He did not kill him earlier because Andre was not aggressive yet.

Unfortunately, this time, he really released his killing intent. Unlike the Human Sovereign in the other world, he would certainly meet this person again if he wanted to have a transaction. Or at least, the probability was high.

He glanced at Song Jia and said, "Just my advice, don't go toward Klard City."

"!!!" Song Jia's body shook, staring at him with a weird look. She did not know why Alex warned her of this city, but she certainly would pass the Klard City before arriving at the Blackwade Clan.

Unexpectedly, Andre showed an exaggerated reaction. "You… Not only have you disappointed your disciple, you even want to decide our course? How dare you!"

Alex furrowed his eyebrows behind his mask, thinking of killing him right now.

"May I know the reason? After all, the fastest way to reach my clan is to ass Klard City." She kept glancing at him and Andre.

This time, he sent a thought transmission instead of talking. 'There is a young master from Joyful Union Sect in that city. Though I don't know who he is, I know that he seems to be smitten by you. Well, that is the information I have right now.'

Her heart skipped a beat, not expecting him to be there. Because of Song Yu's plan, she had been hiding from this person as if the Joyful Union Sect or Fire God Clan managed to sniff out their plan, there would certainly be a big movement in this continent.

The information about Alex that she got from her sister flashed in her mind. Song Yu said Alex had a powerful information network, even capable of sniffing a big conspiracy to the slightest details. Because of that, she could somehow believe his information.

'Thank you for your information. I will try to go around that city.' She nodded.

Because he could not hold his anxiety, Andre shouted. "We should go right now!"

Alex glanced at Andre before looking at her with a weird expression. 'Is he an idiot? He should also realize I am a Martial Emperor… or he thinks his identity can stop me from killing him?'

Song Jia opened her eyes wide, coming to a realization. Her mouth opened slightly, showing her surprise. 'He… he was the one who led me to this place…'

'What do you mean?'

'Actually, we were not supposed to go through this city on our way home. However, for several reasons, we changed our direction and went to the north for a bit. Because of this, we needed to pass Klard City. And the one who persuaded me was him.'

'Did he…' Alex paused, letting Song Jia come up with her own conclusion.

'Yes. The probability is high… Unlike Putri, His background is a bit off.' Song Jia tried to recall his personal information. 'He appeared in our clan around ten years ago with 8-Star Martial King Cultivation. With his hard work, he managed to climb up the rank and joined my group a year ago. I thought since he was already in my clan for a long time, he was trustworthy and let him enter my group.

'Except… rather than joining my sister's group, who needed his ability the most, he decided to join my group. With your information just now, I realized he was indeed suspicious.'

'He is in cahoots with that guy?'

'Most probably.' She nodded. 'He must want to lead me so I can meet that idiotic young master.'

'Want to kill him?' Alex asked with a serious expression as he wanted to kill him.

She nodded again. 'Yes. But I will try to reason with him first before making a move.'

Alex shrugged, letting her do whatever she wanted as long as he died in the end.

She then leaped toward Andre, demanding his space ring. "I need to check your space ring."

"!!!" The others gasped, wondering what Alex said to make Song Jia like this. In fact, it might be the first time she would do something like this.

"Young Lady, what do you mean by my space ring?" Andre sweatdropped.

"I have found something suspicious, so I demand your space ring. I won't take anything from your space ring, I just need to check it." She looked at him menacingly.

The tension started filling the atmosphere again.

Putri appeared beside Alex, asking, "Master, what is this?"

"It's just something interesting." Alex smiled.

"Young Lady, I am afraid I cannot hand you my space ring."

"I am using my authority as the second young lady of Blackwade Clan. According to the family rule, you have to obey and hand me the space ring. If you don't want to give your space ring obediently, I will use force." She became angrier. All the frustration she got from Alex seeing her body came out, targeting him.

"Young Lady. I don't know what he said to you, but it should not cloud your judgment. From what I see, he is trying to break up our group. Not only is he a disappointing Master, but he is also a bad guy." He still refused to hand over his space ring.

"You do realize you are talking to a Martial Emperor, right?" She narrowed her eyes, releasing her killing intent. "And from all the people you can offend, you don't have the right to offend him."

"I can fight a 1-Star Martial Emperor to a standstill. Young Lady is different, but I believe he can't defeat me."

'Oh, what confidence…' Alex thought nonchalantly.

"I don't care what you said, just hand me your space ring or I will use my power to take your space ring!" She took out her sword. "I will count to three."

"One…"

"Two…"

Before she continued, he already took out his sword. Song Jia swung her sword.

(AN: So, you have chosen... death.)
