Chapter 2262 The Beast and the Beauty

Alex frowned. If the information about disorientation was true, then the information about it all being without malice had to be true as well. He didn't believe a man he had just randomly met would give out information that was half true and half not.

'What if the man is working toward this too?' Alex wondered. No, he was being too paranoid for no reason.

But still, he couldn't let go of the thought that all of this was being done to keep them at bay. As if they didn't want them stumbling upon something. What if he was on his way to stumble upon something he was not allowed to see?

'And why do I not feel the disorientation?' Alex wondered. The Sun God's Celestial Yang Body had a lot of powers, but being able to ignore powers of formations and illusions was not one of them. Was something else at play then?

"Pearl, use the technique I taught you," he said. "Let's see if the disorientation still works when you are using it."

Pearl nodded. Immediately, he used his Spirit Reversal technique. It was a technique primarily made to be used when fighting against people who would use their Spirit and Creations upon another person, as well as the Domain that came along with it.

But besides that, it was also useful in fighting formations and arrays, not allowing the surrounding to enchant someone with its powers.

Pearl used the technique and immediately gasped. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"What? What's wrong?" Alex asked, confused and worried.

"My Qi," Pearl said with a worried look. "It's depleting at a terrifying rate." He quickly stopped using the technique and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, something is affecting us a lot," Pearl said. "I was using up so much of my Qi to ignore whatever was affecting me."

"We will leave, senior," Alex said. "Our deepest apologies. We will all leave right now."

Alex pulled on Pearl, trying to get him to walk away. But the beast's Qi suddenly grabbed all of them. It held them in place but did not hurt them.

The beast tilted its head with a confused look. The massive beast glowed suddenly, slowly morphing as it shrunk down to the size of a human, becoming a human. As a human, the male beast had a long face, bright red hair, and deep yellow eyes. There was more hair than not around its arms, but that didn't make it any less human.

The human beast looked at them all, a confused look apparent on its face. "Why are there four of you here?" he asked.

"Senior?" Alex asked, confused about what the beast was trying to ask them. "We have always been four."

"No," the beast said. "There should be 3 of you. Why do you—"

The beast abruptly paused, turning his head toward the mist, far away. After a moment something appeared from the mist, walking down one step at a time.

It was a young woman with bright green hair and green eyes. She was beautiful, certainly one of the more beautiful women he had seen in the past few years.

Her eyes landed directly on Alex, and a soft smile tugged the side of her lips. "You," she said, pointing directly at Alex before gesturing him to come closer.

Alex wasn't sure what was happening here exactly. He looked at the woman, not recognizing her. Hell, he couldn't even tell what her cultivation base was. Was she an Immortal? A Divinity? A Celestial? Or was she just a mortal?

Alex slowly moved forward at her beckoning, taking one step after another as he moved closer to her.

The beast to the side watched him closely, seemingly confused. Alex stopped close to the woman, and then the woman stepped closer to him, looking straight into his eyes as she asked a question.

"Are you a brethren of mine?"
