Chapter 638 - Discussion

"We strike at Black Devil Sect right now, then prepare for the incoming people from the Fire God Clan. Anyone have an objection?"
No one made the slightest movement, let alone opening their mouth or raising their hands.
"Since no one has any objection, we are going to plan the attack on Black Devil Sect." Alex nodded.
Noticing the atmosphere became too serious, even though Alex just came back, Anna decided to change the topic. "Alex, how about other topics first? Like Rose or Evelyn, we can even discuss Letizia."
Alex glanced at the rest and sighed. "Sure. Tell me about Rose first."
"Surely." Anna nodded. "Fire God Clan has started investigating the Northern Continent a few months ago. I have instructed her to hide inside the base until they come back to the Heavenly Continent. Our biggest concern right now is whether they are going to Willow Continent to release their anger on Heavenly Sword Sect or not."
"And this is becoming another serious topic…" Alex rolled his eyes away.
Anna shrugged. "I am just redirecting the topic since you might attack them as soon as we discuss the plan. On the other hand, we might lessen your desire to go there for at least a day or so."
Alex rolled his eyes away. "Do you think I'm not going to recover my Spiritual Energy first?"
"That's not what I mean." Anna shook her head before continuing. "Anyway, back to the topic. We can redirect their attention from Willow Continent by killing the weak party they sent to us."
"I agree with that plan." Alex nodded. "Alright. We have agreed upon this earlier, so we should talk about Rose. How is her progress right now?"
"She has reached 7-Star Martial King within a year since she didn't do anything other than cultivate because of the situation. At the same time, Ngina has been instructing from the shadow to make sure she is progressing in the right direction."
"That's good enough for me." Alex nodded. "I should expect her to reach Martial Emperor Stage within half a year."
"I will tell Ngina to give that instruction."
"Sure. I should give her more pressure to make her progress faster… Though she can't be compared to other peers already…" Alex shrugged.
"Indeed. I'm thinking about having her contact the Blackwade Clan, but I'm afraid there might be more conspiracy in the Blackwade Clan. On the other hand, it's not necessarily right to make her contact with the western side like that couple, Ruben and Lucia. I feel like Rose might get more trouble than she is supposed to get."
"I can relate to that." Alex nodded. "Sadly, Rose doesn't have a chance to enter the Strength Plateau." Alex sighed.
"You broke it back then." Anna grinned as the others chuckled. "Nonetheless, the timing was off, so you could say it was based on luck."
"Yeah. Rose can only adapt and search for another inheritance. There should still be some inheritances left on that continent. Ngina can show it to her…" Alex nodded. He had known about the inheritances, but nothing actually intrigued him since they were useless. As for Rose, he thought it would still be useful whether it was for a challenge for her or some kind of reward.
"I understand. Although we can spoon-feed her continuously, Rose still needs to grow up." Anna then glanced at Anya to arrange a few tests for Rose. Of course, it was all for later after the Fire God Clan left the continent.
"Since Rose is fine at the moment, how about Evelyn?"
"Evelyn is doing great in the Drunken Pavilion. She has broken through to 2-Star Martial Emperor since she has enough resources and a teacher to do that, creating a gap with Rose again."
Alex furrowed his eyebrows. "Did Old Manness give her something? That speed was certainly not normal…"
"Yes. He had given her a few things such as Fire Gem and so on. After having knowledge about sword, that old guy actually taught her the elemental aspect. It seems her talent was far more amazing than we had expected since her fire actually gave her more boost than the normal speed, thus allowing her to reach 2-Star Martial Emperor in a short time." Anna paused for a moment. "The moment we come to the Heavenly Continent, she might have reached 6-Star Martial Emperor… Of course, this speed will slow down sooner or later."
"I see. I never know Evelyn has a talent in her fire. I taught her everything about the sword, but neglected her fire ability." Alex sighed, disappointed in himself.
Anna shook her head when she heard this. "That's not exactly right. First of all, you had taught her about your basic sword knowledge… And unconsciously, you taught her about everything related to Sword and Fire. After all, you are a Fire User as well. Evelyn just never practiced, thus halting her own progress. When that old guy opened her fire talent, it made a harmony with her sword that had been ingrained by you and exploded, causing her to advance by leaps and bounds."
"Is that so?" Alex looked down for a moment. He thought he never taught anything about Fire Element, but everything he showed her somehow related to Sword and Fire. To think his unconscious action still brought Evelyn this much effect, he couldn't help but be happy for himself and her.
"Even that guy was utterly shocked when he saw Evelyn advancing like this… and arrived at this conclusion," Anna added.
"Thank you for letting me know." Alex smiled.
"At the same time, he also crowned her as the current successor for Drunken Pavilion. She never thought about it and still hesitated to accept it because she wanted to repay for whatever you gave. Without you, she will still be the small princess that might die from that crown prince or be controlled by her kingdom."
Alex shook his head. "I simply taught her how to fight back then… And to think she somehow became this big."
"Haha… Maybe she will accept it if it means she can help you in the war against the Fire God Clan." Anna laughed.
Alex actually found this not funny. He had been creating a line with Evelyn as to protect her from this kind of problem. After all, she would have trouble that he made, this was something he didn't want. "Anyway, it's good to see her fine like this. If possible, make sure she doesn't know that we have this kind of problem…"
"That old man is trying to do that since he wants to have her focus on the cultivation first until the boost of two talents is used up. At the same time, Evelyn is a clever girl. She will get this information sooner or later, so it's close to impossible to hide it until we destroy the Fire God Clan."
Alex sighed. "How about Letizia?"
"As you have already known, Letizia is in Snow White Mountain. Her Pure Element is very suitable in that place. Her progress itself is comparable to you since she only needs to cultivate unlike you, who have so many things to process." Anna shrugged.
"I see. I will have the information about the influences on Heavenly Continent right before I go there, so just tell me her general situation." Alex nodded.
"If you want her general situation…" Anna hesitated, glancing left and right.
"What happened?"
"She is not in a good spot to be honest."
Alex furrowed his eyebrows. "What do you mean?"
"The elders from that place somehow learned about the full loyalty Oath. Her awakened Pure Ice Element alone had garnered her a successor candidate position. Yet, everything vanished after they knew about you. They forced her to give her Sacrificial Element to someone and planned to lock her inside the sect forever since she refused their offer."
"Their offer?"
"Yes. They wanted her to say your name. A name alone should be fine in the Full Loyalty Contract. Yet, she simply refused even though she was beaten and forced to give the Sacrificial Element. In fact, she had given the Sacrificial Element to them in exchange for them not to know about you."
"Why… you didn't tell me about this earlier?" Alex asked.
"What can you do? This happened right when we were discussing in Zekhram's house." Anna shook her head.
"I…" Alex knew he couldn't do a single thing to help her. He thought about asking Old Manness's help for this, but it would just give his identity away. At the same time, if he used his Space Element here, he might not be able to react fast enough to deal with Martial Saint. He could sneak in and help her escape, but the difficulty was far too great for the current him.
"You won't be able to use the same technique, like when rescuing Evelyn, simply because they marked her with another symbol where she would be killed by that symbol if she came out of her cell. At the same time, if you broke the symbol with your knowledge, it would alarm the entire influence…" Anna looked at him while shaking her head.
Alex fell into silence, knowing how hard it was to break free after that. The uneasy feeling grew in his heart after listening to how Letizia chose over him other than anything. This was why he didn't want to have friends in this world. They will be targeted like this. "Even so, I still need to pay them back for this… Maybe also help Letizia from their hand."
"I agree. Although the start of how she became a slave was awful, I never expected that she would choose this path." Anya suddenly interjected. She thought it was rare for a person like this to appear, and she could see the shadow of Zark. He was the guy who helped Lin Xingzhi with teleportation back when she grabbed Firia from this world. He had the same full loyalty Heavenly Oath when he met Alex and realized that he would be free after becoming God Stage expert since he was free from his world. Yet, he decided to swear once more in the name of the universe, completely bound him for life.
Zark only said he made the right choice, and his mind couldn't be changed. Anya thought Letizia might become the second Zark, albeit she didn't know how she actually chose Alex over rather than betrayed him. However, seeing this action was enough for Alex to fight as even the Previous Life Alex always did it.
Alex looked down for a moment and said, "We can wait for all the matters on Heavenly Continent until I arrive there. It will probably be a few months from now since I'm planning to train Sherry for a little bit after destroying the Black Devil Sect."
"Alright. We can discuss our plan in dealing with the Black Devil Sect then." Anna nodded.
