Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 2288

Chapter 2288 KIllersky

The people in the room frowned as they could hardly believe what they were hearing. Not only had the man blatantly threatened to kill them, but he had also made everyone doubt each other. They looked around each other, eye shifting, untrusting.

The people they called friends just moments before were suddenly enemies, a single leg on the ladder to climb, one that would be so much better as a leg if it did not move.

Alex looked around, surprised by how quickly the situation in the hall was changing. He could see that while not all, many were thinking of doing this since it was an easy path the victory. If there were fewer people in the tournament, the competition was going to get smaller.

The man in the barrier laughed out loud, cackling like a madman as he understood he had just swayed the hearts of so many others. He seemed to be looking forward to what was going to happen next.

"What a load of garbage!" a voice came through the room. A tall broad-shouldered woman walked in, her overall appearance above average. She wore a thin white robe with many folds in it. She looked like a princess, but at the same time looked like a fighter. She walked up to the man in front of the barrier, crouching to meet his eyes.

"Do you really think killing others is the way to victory, you pathetic little man?" she asked. "Do you have that little pride in your own alchemy that you need to kill others to make up for it? You should've used the time training instead of thinking of such nonsense. At least you might have become a better alchemist at that point. Now you're just a waste."

"What did you say?" the man asked, his face changed from laughter to anger in a single moment.

"What?" the new woman asked. "Is your little ego hurt? Are you that well-informed about your own shortcomings? Pathetic little man, just leave the tournament if you know you can't win. You'll be doing yourself a favor by not embarrassing yourself in front of the others."

The man took a moment to calm down and began chuckling. "You bitch. I'll kill you first."

"The name is Killersky. If you're gonna kill me, know the name," she said. "I will wait for you in the eastern gates of this city once the competition is over. Be sure to come there, if you are more than just words. That is if you can actually pass the next competition. Given your lack of confidence, I don't have much confidence in you either."

The man said nothing else.

"Oh, I didn't realize," Aethersage said. "Haha, I guess I should count myself lucky to have stronger Spiritual energy than him."

The woman shook her head. She finally turned toward Alex and the rest. "I'm sorry I just started talking," the woman said. "My warmest greetings. I am Killersky."

"We heard," Riveroak said. "You were awesome."

Killersky smiled. "I was merely saying what needed to be said. Nothing awesome about that."

The group introduced themselves and Killersky talked for a bit getting to know them before saying she needed to go find her friends. She left, but Aethersage stayed behind.

"Silver Soul realm, huh? We really have people from everywhere," Thousandleaf said. "Where are you from, brother Aethersage?"

"Me? Nowhere really. I arrived at the Golden Dao realm after breaking and ascending from my lower realm. I didn't like staying there for too long, so I went to Formation Monarch's realm. I was only there for a bit before I had to leave. I made my way around, and then ended up meeting my master who brought me here."

"Wow, you're a world traveler, brother Aethersage," Jai Heiyun said. Alex thought for a bit. "Brother Aether, didn't senior Wiseweed find you in the Three Jewel Word?" he asked.

"He did, why?" Aethersage asked.

"When we have the time later on, can you tell me a bit about the tomb?" Alex asked.

"Oh, you wanna know the tomb, brother Dawnblade?" he asked with laughter. "Sure. Let's see if we have the time. I gotta find these damn ingredients first."

Alex nodded. "How many are you missing?" he asked. "Four," Aethersage said. "I'm sure I will find it soon though. I know where at least two of them are."
