NOVEL NEXT Chapter 423: Snowflake Empress
"Then drop this charade. I will bring you to him. He also wants to meet with you; otherwise, you think I will entertain you."
"Sure, but after this," Alex replied. His body suddenly transformed into a blood mist that flew toward the immortal.
"You really don't learn." The immortal said in a bothersome tone.
If she had known Alex would keep attacking like this, she would have let the other immortal who loved to fight go.
She had come out because she thought she could do things in a more peaceful way.
The blood mist moved rapidly, encircling the immortal and Alex, forming runic patterns.
The rune glowed in green, creating a sphere of space, a completely new isolated world.
The immortal raised her hand, trying to freeze the blood circling her, but the moment she wanted to exert her influence on the outside world, it failed.
"What did you do?" the woman asked with a face etched with fear.
She could feel her power, but no matter what she did, she couldn't exert it. There were a few methods she could still try, but they would cost her something she didn't want to pay unless it was really a life-or-death battle.
The blood gathered back to Alex in the red armor. The armor then receded back inside his skin. "Nothing much, I am just testing something," Alex replied in a flat tone.
Energy is basically just a wave, and a wave can be interfered with. The question Alex tested was whether he needed to find the right pattern or the same amount of energy. Based on this experiment, he got the answer, and it was both.
Canceling the immortal's power almost cost him all his lifeforce stockpile, and that was only for a moment when she wasn't exerting all her strength.
"Don't want to talk? Fine, I will just find it out myself," the immortal said. Her qi started to churn since, right now, she was not afraid she would accidentally kill Alex.
But before she could finish the move, a voice reverberated in her mind, making her feel annoyed.
'You still haven't finished, Clara? I knew it. You have grown rusty now.
Just return to your garden and keep cooking those pills. Fighting is for me.'
'Shut up, you old geezer. I know you saw the whole fight with Edward!
The only way you can contact me through the formation is because he said something. What does he want?'
'Tch! You old hag, no fun at all. Edward said to bring him in now. Continuing the fight will escalate things.
Don't forget he still has control over all our formations. And while you're busy fighting him, don't you see what his two pets are doing?'
Clara frowned, then turned her gaze to the sect entrance. The two monsters were now knocking on their clan's gate, trying to destroy it.
Thankfully, the gate was made using an artifact with a spirit inside it. No, it had already come out and fought to defend it; otherwise, the gate would have already been breached.
"You! Really…!" Clara said with annoyance toward Alex. She couldn't believe it. This whole time, after she said he could enter, he still attacked their sect.
"Call me Alex, and I just know you. How much do I know I can trust your words?"
At this point, Clara had already stopped looking at Alex as a junior. His capability was something she couldn't underestimate. She couldn't kill him, and he had strange methods that could attack. Enjoy more content from empire
She still remembered how she felt so helpless when that formation captured her.
Clara snorted, then landed on the ground. She then swiped her fan toward the two monsters, turning them into ice cubes.
"Could you release the formation already?"
"Give me a reason why I should do that?" Alex asked back in a flat tone.
Clara's lips twitched. She stopped asking as it just made her feel angrier. Never in her life had she ever met someone like him.
"Fine! Follow me then and your friend out there. Do you want to join or what?" she asked in a normal tone, but her voice was like talking to Ying Xue at her side.
She quickly floated down and then greeted her, "Nice to meet you again, Snowflake Empress."
"Just call me by my name. I hate that title. What Empress? Such crap."
Ying Xue just nodded. Despite getting permission from Clara, she didn't dare to do that. Clara probably wouldn't mind, but what about the other clan members?
No matter where she went, people would connect her with the guardian and the sect from the frontline.
Any action she made could be treated as a stance from her faction. If something bad happened, her family could then be blamed by the other sects or clans on the frontline.
"Do what you want then. You have been here multiple times and still never changed.
It's surprising, though, that this time you came up with an interesting person. Is the chaos in the other city because of him?"
Ying Xue didn't know how to answer. She just looked at Alex.
"Yes, it's me," Alex replied.
Hearing his nonchalant response, Clara chuckled. "You really have guts, I like that, but why?
I don't get why you attacked those small villages and sects. With your current strength, they provide no benefit."
"This is just the start. After finishing taking over all the villages, we will come after bigger sects and clans until the whole region falls under my control."
Clara stopped in her steps. She looked back at Alex, making sure he was serious or joking, but just like before, his face had no change at all. It was like talking to a puppet.
"Are you even human? I blow your head off, and you don't even flinch."
"How is this related to your last remark? I don't think it's of any importance."
"Yeah, it's not. So what do you say? Are you serious? You want to take over this region?"
"Yes."
