Chapter 1634 Outside News
Alex sat in his bed, with the two elders sitting on chairs inside the room. They were still worried about him, but hearing that he wasn't to be punished had more than calmed their hearts.
"I'm sorry that you two were stressed because of me," Alex said with a small sigh. "I caused you to worry for me."
"That's our job, Your Majesty," Liang Shufen said.
"Not that you make it any easier," Yao Ning said with a small smile. "Did you kill this battalion leader all on your own? I heard his cultivation base was quite strong."
"We don't know much, Your Majesty, but we do know someone that strong should be too strong for him. Did you use some artifacts? Perhaps the Mirror?" Liang Shufen asked.
Alex brought out the dull mirror and handed it to Yao Ning. "I used the Mirror long ago, against an Immortal attack he made against me," he said. The handing of the mirror told Yao Ning what her job was to be for the next few days. She gladly accepted.
"As for killing him, I did it on my own," Alex said. "Just a sword and a technique I created."
A small smile appeared on his face when he mentioned his technique. It really had ended up becoming quite extraordinary. It was all thanks to Godslayer, so he would have to thank the spirit by quickly finding him some Darkness aura.
Not that it was easy to find though.
The elders were curious, so Alex explained what he thought he could regarding what he did in the secret realm. He talked about the first 6 months when he had to give away pills, about the next few months when he had to take Shan Wangjiu as an honorary disciple, and then afterward when he focused on just himself.
"You get headaches when you use your technique?" Liang Shufen asked curiously. "Why?"
"You're forcing too many Dao at once, Your Majesty," Yao Ning said quickly. "I'm sure it is because of that."
"It's more than that, but I can't explain what it is right now," Alex said. The mixing of 4 Dao at once was certainly heavy on his Intent, but over the past year, he had gotten used to it.
"They're not here, Your Majesty," the old woman said. "They're back in the Dragon Capital."
Alex frowned a little. 'The Dragon Capital. Right next to the Dragon Emperor.'
Smoldering anger filled him every time she remembered that the Dragon Emperor had in some way been responsible for Pearls' mother's death and quite directly responsible for his cousin's death.
Still, he couldn't do anything rash for now. Not because he was weak, but because in some way, the alchemist close to him could be taken hostage. At the very least, he would have to wait 4 more years for them to return.
He could do whatever he wanted after that. He could come back with might given to him by Bai Jingshen if nothing else.
"Let them be there," he said, letting go of his thoughts and emotions before smiling a little. "What of the auction?"
"The auction was quite big this time too," Liang Shufen said. "Although, your pills ended up selling for a little less than last time. We still made a lot of spirit stones."
With a nod, the old woman handed over a storage bag, and Alex looked into it. "Ooh!" he couldn't help but say in surprise. "What's that? a million Saint Spirit stones?"
"Close to that," Yao Ning said. "940 thousand."
"Great, great!" Alex said. "It was a good idea to sell more pills this time then. What about items you bought?"
Yao Ning looked toward Liang Shufen, and Liang Shufen brought out another storage bag. "We bought formation flags that could help grow plants as you asked for. Aside from that, there was only one item we could buy."
Alex looked in and found the item in a single glance. It stood out amongst the short formation flags.
A long and golden interlinking chain came out, with glittering runes carved onto each of the individual segments of the chain.
A talisman came along with it, explaining the details of the chain.
"Golden Binding Chain. Needs to be wrapped around someone to activate. Upon activation, it can bind the person and force them to hide their Qi, making them unable to use any techniques for as long as the chain is active."n(/O--V)-E-)L-)B..1-.n
