Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 2091

Chapter 2091 Darkspine Forest

The young man saw the anger in Alex's eyes and began showing fear. "I- i- I can't tell you," he said. "I—"

His voice cut off mid-sentence as something else happened to his body. At the same time, both Alex and Fang Yuxie realized what was happening.

The young Saint was about to detonate his body in the middle of the room. Fang Yuxie put up a defensive technique around herself and quickly ran outside to protect the customers that were in there. She would be fine as an Immortal, but should their weaker customers as well as the staff be dragged into it, they would die.

As soon as she was out, she immediately turned around and used her Qi to create a makeshift barrier to protect everyone. She waited for the explosion and... And it never came.

She continued putting it on, wondering if the young man had delayed the explosion by chance. Alas, even after waiting for more seconds, nothing happened. This was confusing to be sure.

She sent her Spiritual sense inside to see what the situation was and found Alex alone in the room, the talisman in his hand clutched tightly.

She put down her barrier and quickly walked inside. "What's wrong? Where's the kid?" she asked.

"Dead," Alex said and turned around, walking out of the room. "Dead?" she asked as she couldn't see a single sign of an explosion. Where was the explosion? If no explosion, where was the corpse?

"I need to go somewhere," he said. "Do not follow me." R/ê/Ad lateSt ch/a/pters at nô(v)e(l)bin/.c/o//m Only

"What's going on?" Fang Yuxie worried.

"I'll let you know later," Alex said and walked away. As per the talisman's instructions, he wanted no one to follow him.

Alex walked through the city alone, unsure what it was that he needed to do. Very soon, he was flying, doing his best to arrive at the location he was called over to as soon as he could.

He needed to make some basic preparations for his own survival right now. The very first thing he did was ask Whisker to go bring Pearl out from the Timeless Palace. Pearl was the only one who could protect him at the moment.

He looked toward the figure that stood next to her, and immediately his eyes went wide in surprise.

"You!" he said out loud.

Teng Zhengmian, former Sect master of the Poison Fighters sect, stood in a fully black robe, with his hands behind his back. A terrible smile lay on his face, but there was not a single humor in that smile or happiness. All Alex could see was anger.

"You know how long I've been waiting for this," he said softly. "All these years, ever since you killed my brothers, I've been wanting to find you. Finally, I have found you, and I'm not letting you run away."

The man pulled out a long black chain from his Soul Space, holding it tightly.

"Before I kill you though, I must ask, do you have more Heavenly Silk?" the man asked.

Alex stared at the man, confused for the most part. As far as he could remember, this man was supposed to be dead. The Blue Silk sect had attacked the sect and killed everyone that had been a part of it. Hadn't they?

He knew the sect had been attacked, but beyond that, he had never asked anything else about the sect from the sect elders. Should he have?

"Tell me!" the man demanded.

"Heavenly Silk?" Alex asked. "Even if I have more, why would I ever tell you?"

The man began giggling maniacally, gripping his chain tighter. "I see. Then I'll just have to dig through your corpse to find it. Don't even think about running away from here, or this girl will die."

Alex pulled out Midnight.

Memories of his friend flashed by, the corpse being used by the two brothers to improve themselves. Tai Guidao had died for nothing, and in no way was the man before him not at fault.

"Run away?" he asked. "Don't worry, I have finally had the chance to exact my revenge. Running is the last thing on my mind."
