Chapter 765 - The Letters
Two months later.
Alex gradually opened his eyes, feeling refreshed after cultivating for a long time. After that discussion with Letizia, Alex got an additional motivation due to her being pumped to do her part. There wasn't a single shred of doubt to destroy the Snow White Mountain.
At first, he thought she would have a kind of attachment to the Snow White Mountain. Even if there were only a few people, Alex might think a little bit about her feelings. Of course, he would still kill them, albeit with a little bit uncomfortable in his heart.
He felt relieved after knowing there wasn't a single person who seemed to care about Letizia. Even Noel confirmed that she didn't really have any good friends inside. All of them turned their back the moment they knew she was someone's slave.
It was at that moment she knew that no one actually befriended her. They simply wanted to take advantage of her kindness and talent for their own benefits, unlike Alex, who always helped her the moment she needed. In fact, she grew to like this status because she knew that Alex would never treat her that badly, no matter how low her status is.
Unlike those hypocrites, she would not hesitate to draw her blade if Alex wanted to kill them. It might be the first time she felt she could do anything from the bottom of her heart when someone wanted her to do it.
Alex might not know about the depth of her loyalty, but he knew that Letizia wouldn't betray him for a short period of time.
After recalling that, Alex finally took a deep breath and rose from the ground. "I think two months have passed. It's time for me to go back."
The gate that he hadn't used for two months came to his vision. He checked everything, especially the letters for Davi. After that, he touched the array and activated it, creating a hole in the barrier where he could go through.
"!!!" Jeanne and Viola were the first ones to notice his presence. They had been waiting for him and knew Alex would soon appear, so they recognized his presence faster than anyone else.
Even though it was anyone else, it wasn't like there were many people to begin with. Other than these two, only Rio and Rena are waiting for him.
They found Alex's strength increased to 3-Star Martial Saint within these two months. They had known the fact that it was a place useful for cultivation, and now they saw the effect, Rio was a bit jealous. However, that jealousy was replaced by a sense of urgency when he heard what Alex said next.
"Can you help me to call the former patriarch Devi? I have some business with him. And yes, it's related to your technique." Alex smiled at them since these two might be the first two that would have their bloodlines fused.
Rio nodded to him, but Rena grabbed Rio's hand, stopping him from calling the patriarch. They had one important job before calling the patriarch. It was to confirm whether he succeeded or not. Rio instantly realized the hidden meaning of her action and clasped his hand to Alex.
"May I know—"
"I have succeeded. Now call your father." Alex stopped him from uttering those pointless ramblings.
The duo looked at each other and nodded, leaving them in a rush.
Alex then looked at Viola and Jeanne. "Sorry for making you two wait here for me."
"It's my job." Jeanne grinned and pumped her fist.
Viola chuckled because of her action and replied to Alex. "Yes. We have no problem."
"Are you going to leave after this, Elder Viola?" Alex asked.
"Yes. I have finished my job, so I need to return. Do you need me to do another thing?"
"Actually… Yes." Alex was a bit embarrassed to admit it. "But it's for two years later."
"Oh. In that case, I will return first. Just send a message to me, and I will go to you. I still have your token anyway, so I can give you a signal as soon as I return here."
"I understand. Thank you."
"Hehe…"
"In that case, I can send you back. After this, I will stay in this place for a month, and the preparation for it is a day. So, I will send you back if you don't mind."
"Sure. I can make them think I am there to protect you anyway."
Alex smiled, feeling grateful to this person.
Not long after, Davi and his two children returned to this place. Sweats ran through their faces as if they were rushing with their fastest speed.
"Do you…" Davi still couldn't believe that Alex succeeded, but the confident expression on his face told him he told the truth.
Alex knew that Davi could only come to this place since the information about this place was slightly restricted. That was why he took out the letter first before confirming the matter. "Read this first."
Davi nodded as he opened the letter and widened his eyes.
'Duy is blue, hence, Ancient Blue Family. Hello there, little brat. I know that you are old now, but hear me out first. The person in front of you, Alexander Sirius, has finished the task and gotten the technique.
'However, there is still another thing he needs to do with that technique. It's to fuse the blood of the first two people. And as you might know, there is nothing inside that place, so it's better to not ask him for anything, since he didn't receive anything as well.
'After this, you shall gather every single Array Masters that the clan has, and they must be a rank 8 Array Master. For such a grand clan, you should have at least five Array Masters of this level, right?
'All of them will watch him performing the technique to control the array to fuse the blood. I have given him the instruction, and it's hard if you don't have anyone to show it at least once. In other words, be grateful to him because he will show you a demonstration.
'After this, have those Array Masters perform the same thing. Of course, it's better to start with weaker disciples, so the clan won't lose much. They can get used to the feeling and master the technique. You can then perform the technique on all the members.
'He possesses my token that has my Divine Energy to activate this rank 9 Array, and it should be enough to fuse everyone's blood. If every single person has fused the energy, I want you to burn the record about this array together with my token. These two items don't have any function anyway, and if the enemy gets it, the Ancient Blue Family will be threatened. And yeah, after the blood is fused, your body will grow stronger, and it will continue forever, so don't cling to these items.
'I also gave him a few backup arrays. You are smart enough to show weakness and trap family's traitors with this trick, right? I will let you do it and cleanse the Ancient Blue Family.
'Anyway, I don't want to talk too much on this occasion since mostly you will be relying on Alexander. I give you one day to prepare everything.
'And you can use my token to enter this place in the future. Let the realm recover for ten years, and you can send someone every ten years to enjoy the benefit of cultivating inside the rank 9 Gathering Array. Don't forget to not touch anything of my possession, especially the house. Heed these words, and the Ancient Blue Family will rise in the future.
'Last but not least, if you can't be his friend, then don't be his enemy. This is my last and most important warning to you. The moment you break it for whatever reason, the moment my Ancient Blue Family ceases to exist because he is a man that can destroy this world.'
Davi was stupefied when reading the letter. As much as he wanted to doubt this letter, he knew Choong Duy must write it. After all, only he himself knew the first sentence of the letter.
And when he got warned a few times about the items, he had no choice other than complete it. He might be curious about Divine Items, but his Ancestors' wills still toppled that curiosity. On the other hand, he knew that Divine Items wouldn't last long in this world because they would either be ejected from this world or destroyed.
At the end of the message, he was perplexed when Choong Duy warned him strongly about Alexander Sirius. In fact, the tone of his words looked like he was scared.
He couldn't help but wonder what kind of person Alexander Sirius is.
Staring at Alex's eyes for a few seconds, he clasped his hands before saying politely. "I shall guide you to your courtyard while I prepare everything. Please follow me."
Rio and Rena were stunned. This might be the first time they saw their father this polite. Little did they know that the threat Alex possessed was too much for 'a single family' to handle.
'You two little brats. You should be respectful to him too… Unfortunately, I can't tell you the reason now, but making him your enemy is the last thing you want to do.' Davi warned them through the thought transmission.
The duo had no words and completely froze in their position, albeit none of the people around them paid any attention. They simply followed Davi, who guided them to one of the courtyards for guests.
Alex, Jeanne, and Viola entered the room before he said to Viola, "Great Elder. I have checked the surroundings, and I believe this will be the best chance to go."
Viola was surprised at first when Alex asked her just after they went inside.
"Don't worry. There is a Sound Insulation Array in this place, so the people outside won't be able to hear us. As for Davi, I am sure he will be busy for a day." Alex assured her with a smile.
Viola thought for a moment and agreed. "Alright."
Alex then created a Teleportation Array, and both of them disappeared, leaving Jeanne to watch the house for a while.
A few minutes later, they arrived in front of the cave again, watching their reflection on the water surface. Viola then stepped forward before turning around to say her goodbye to Alex. She didn't forget to ask him. "How about giving me a token?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean. My token. With this, you only need to activate the token, and I will know. I am sure you can make it right?"
Alex contemplated and nodded after thinking about the pros and cons. At the very least, Viola and Aileen were the most trusted people in the Freedom Sect, so he had no problem giving her a token.
He took out a rank 8 wood and cut it into two with his sword, shaping it as elegant as possible. He then inserted a rank 8 array inside the token before asking Viola for two drops of her blood for both tokens.
The arrays then glowed for a few seconds before it turned off. Alex then activated the token in his right hand and watched how the token in his off hand glowed.
He then nodded and handed the token in his off hand to her and kept the other one to himself.
"Thank you." Viola nodded with a smile as she slowly submerged inside the water. "And see you later."
"Yes. Thank you for your hard work, Great Elder Viola." Alex watched until she disappeared before going back to the Ancient Blue Family.
"Master. What should I do now? Should I go fighting monsters and get experiences… Or should I wait with you? Wait! I think I should do the latter. No matter how you trust them, I can't be at ease. In fact, you shouldn't bring her home for the time being."
"It's fine, Sherry. Choong Duy was someone even more careful than this Davi. As long as Davi still pays attention to Choong Duy and Chavel, I won't have any problem."
"Still, let me stay with you."
"Sure." Alex smiled and patted her head.
