580 Their Situation

"Alex, we are done here. How is it on your side?" Anna asked while pulling her scythe out of the corpse.
"I have finished on my side as well." Alex used his Spiritual Energy to wipe the blood on his sword before walking to Anna.
"I have finished my task also." Sherry jumped between them and said happily.
Alex could only smile, looking at her action. He patted her head while looking at Anya behind the tree. "Anya, we are done here."
Anya took a step to the left and revealed herself.
"What is our status? I have lost the count in my head." Alex asked.
Anya came closer first before answering his question. "After a week of hunting, we have killed around six hundred Black Devil Members in total. This can only be achieved by the swift operation of three teams. As for the monsters count, I am also not very sure. If I need to give a prediction, we should have killed around eight thousand monsters in total."
Alex looked down. They had been hunting for a week, searching for Black Devil Sect disciples and monsters in this vast realm. However, they might be too focused on the Black Devil Sect as their monsters killing count were only eight thousand. If this was a normal Spirit Nest, they should be able to kill twenty thousand in a week and consider this place as a blessing.
At first, he even thought about entering the barrier before anyone could do, but he let go of that thought after visiting the barrier. The defense mechanism, especially for Space Element Array Master, was too complicated. Even Alex might need more than two weeks to solve it.
This barrier clearly surpassed the barrier of Joyful Union Sect's prison. Even if the builder of this barrier was most likely a Martial Saint. After that, Alex decided to wait and enter this barrier in a legitimate way.
Now that he entered this place for a week, Alex thought about what kind of array could produce so many magical beasts even though they were slaughtered every hundred years. This thought made Alex think whether he should search for the truth or not after killing the Black Devil Sect.
Of course, there were already multiple arrays in his mind that could be the answer to this place, but as an array master, he wanted to see whether his hypothesis was true or not. If there was actually an array that wasn't registered in the knowledge he got from Lightning Tribulation, he could add the knowledge of this array to make the knowledge more perfect.
"Say, I want to explore this place to know the truth, do you think it's a bad idea?" Alex asked.
"Not really. Though if you really find it, you will need to choose whether to keep it running or destroy the arrays." Anna gave the option of the conclusion as she believed Alex would find them.
Alex thought for a moment and said, "We still need to kill the Black Devil Sect Members and the monsters. With how our place is going, we can kill the monsters for another week before attacking the rest of Black Devil Sect."
"Yeah. They have banded together because of us, so we can't easily attack them. It's best to let them live for another week to catch them off guard with our attack." Anna nodded.
"Indeed. You can start your exploration after that." Anya agreed with Anna's opinion. "Besides, five spirits have leveled up, so we can definitely level the rest up before the exploration."
"Adventure!" Sherry was happy about this. After cultivating and staying at home for so long, she rarely had any adventures. That was why she would always be happy when such a thing happened. She began feeling this way after the scene back after they met Kyle, where she found out that she couldn't be lazy. Without her knowing, she already liked the joy of working hard for Alex and went around with him. This feeling was boosted when she gained her human form.
Alex patted her head a few times and asked, "Where do you think we should search?"
The instant he uttered that question, he activated his Spirit Eyes to see whether there was an array or whatever was too suspicious underground. Whether it was unfortunate or as he expected, there was no clue that he could use to pinpoint its location.
An array this big would need a big core, so it should be easier to track. But the opposite party should use a rank 8 illusion array to cover the array, so it was hard for even his Spirit Eyes to find it.
"Can't Master search for it with your Spirit Eyes?" Sherry asked the most obvious thing that Alex just worried about.
"I can't. There is a peculiar illusion array that assimilates the array with its surrounding. Also, my Spirit Eyes can evolve one more time, but I don't have the medicinal herbs with me. If only I have such a thing, there should be nothing I can't see. I believe this Spirit Eyes is also very effective for illusion, invisible poison or other similar things since I can see their energy and differentiate them better." Alex sighed in disappointment.
Anna and Anya exchanged looks and thought the might of Alex's Spirit Eyes. They remembered that this technique was previous Alex's first technique… and it was also a technique that allowed them to meet Alex.
Both of them couldn't help but chuckle.
'We both think the same thing, right?' Anya sent a thought transmission to Anna.
'Yes. Alex managed to find us among the other butterfly spirits even though we didn't have a human form like this by using this technique. He saw something in us that normal spirits can't see. We were injured back then, he took us in and let us evolve into a greater spirit that gave us a human form. Though sister Xingzhi, Leoz, and his right hand, Korzan were already there." Anna nodded.
'Well, we can't reminisce about things in this place. Besides, the past Alex is different from the one in the present. Can I be considered as not loyal because they are different?' Anya asked a foolish question.
'Of course not. Although they are not the same, they are similar. In fact, the core and his beliefs are similar. They are a bit different only because what they experience is different. It's like food with core ingredients but just with different spices. And we love both of them.' Anna smiled.
Anya nodded with a smile before turning to Alex before he got suspicious. She shifted Alex's attention with a question, "Where do you think the most suspicious place, Alex?"
"Ah, there is one place that I found more suspicious than the others. It is-"
"The Cultivation Place." Before he finished his words, Sherry answered Anya's question.
Alex only smiled at her and nodded. "Yes, The Cultivation Place is strangely suspicious, so we can go there after dealing with the Black Devil Sect a week from now on."
"Alright. It's your call."
"We will regroup with Fabio's and Stina's group after a week." Alex nodded before asking Anya, "How is Narman's situation? He has two specific targets right now."
"Yeah. After a few days, you asked Narman to focus on Moar and Chloe instead of Black Devil Sect. According to Narman, Moar has gathered almost four hundred people… There are a few missing people, but they are most likely killed by monsters or still on their way there. As for Chloe, she hasn't made a big movement. Although the rumor about our existence has become a rumor in their ranks, there is no sign of her making a move on us.
"Actually, the rumor has spread to the other influences too, but it's not because of us. The other groups also met some people from other influences. This created confusion in those five influences, so I secretly asked Narman to observe the five influences also." Anya explained carefully.
"And their situation?" Alex wasn't offended that Anya secretly asked to do more stuff. It just showed how much she cared about their present situation.
"The same as Chloe. They are confused and have no sign of moving. That muscle brain wanted to fight you or something, but Chloe, who experienced your power, shut him up. She said that you are a person who wouldn't care about their background and if he challenges you, the only end result is death. Luckily, the muscle brain still had some knacks and decided to abandon that idea." Anya let out a breath of relief.
In this past week, Alex's group had encountered all influences while killing monsters and Black Devil Sect members. There are some occasions he decided to kill other influences as well, but most of the time was because they went overboard. They concentrated their attack on Sherry or him to stop their group, or even lusting Anna's body. Unbeknownst to them, their action garnered Alex's anger and brought calamity to themselves.
It was the same as the group. In fact, the total of kills on the other influences was close to one hundred from each influence. The five influences other than Black Devil Sect believed this was the act of Alex's group. They even met each other to discuss how they wanted to deal with this situation because it concerned all of their influences.
At that time, the most surprising thing was how Chloe became supportive about Alex. There were many reasons for her to be supportive, but as expected, the main reason was Alex's sword and spear. That technique held much more attention to her other than the lives of a hundred disciples from her influence.
She was the Martial Arts genius that could combine nine Martial Arts into her fighting style with only her sword. However, had she used a spear as well, she might double the amount of Martial Arts. At that time, she could even combine some of them and confuse the enemy. This would surely increase her current prowess. As for how she could acquire the technique, she felt it would be better to have an equivalent exchange for that technique, or she could bug him to join her influence and offer many benefits. This was how she appreciated Alex's talent. Yet, Alex was still ignorant about this.
"That's good to hear." Alex nodded.
"Yeah. Should we move again to kill some monsters?" Anya asked.
"Yeah. Let's go."
Alex's group began to move again.
