Various garguantuan mountains could be seen, jutting out of the earth. Various buildings that glittered with various colors could be seen in sight.
Within the deepest part of this beautiful almost unbelievable place...a mortal would never have expected such a beautiful place actually existed.
And this place is none other than the...Lotus Jade Petal Sect. A third grade sect!!
And within the deepest, hidden away from the eyes of most of the cultivators within this third grade sect.
A humble abode...one hidden and concealed by a concealing formation.
A man could be seen on his knees...and before the man is a man who had long white hair...long white beards and a deep black pupils.
Almost as though he had witnessed the secrets of ancients...
"So Leonel, why have you come looking for me." The man said with a light smile on his face.
The man who is none other than Leonel took a deep breathe before his voice tore through the air.
"From the orders of the Marquis, I have come to inform Grand Elder, of...Alvina's death."
"W-what did you just say!!!" The Grand Elder of the Lotus Jade Petal Sect, roared out in anger.
"Avina is dead." Leonel replied with a composed expression.
One that immediately contorted to a terrified look, as he gritted his teeth from the tyrannical pressure that had suddenly descended upon him.
"Who dares to kill her!!! Who!!!" His loud roar of anger reverberated through the entire room...as Leonel felt as though he was about to be grinded into paste.
The tyrannical pressure was so terrifying to the extent whereby heavy sweat drops dripped down his forehead continuously...his back had become soaked in sweat, as he felt a tyrannical pressure unlike never before.
He knew the Grand Elder is without a doubt the strongest being he had ever been fortunate enough to encounter...but to such an extent.
It seemed unbelievable. It felt as though he's before...a god!
He gritted his teeth as he finally managed to speak...which was after the pressure got a little bit alleviated.
It seemed the Grand elder is trying his best to comose himself.
After all, as a Grand elder of a sect. His fortitude must be nothing short of astounding.
"She was killed by a kid, a kid named Fenix."
"And who's that. I don't think I know of such a genius." The Grand Elder replied with a narrowed brow.
And then...Leonel proceeded to explain everything. Some minutes passed by within the blink of an eye.
The Grand Elder had a shocked look on his face.
'A genius that can not only defeat Alvina, but also succeed in killing her despite being at a lower cultivation stage.'
"And most importantly...you said he made use of some kind of portal to escape, right?"
"Yes Grand Elder. It was reported that he passed through a portal. And since then, we have rummaged through the entire kingdom and even a little bit of the nearby kingdom. Yet we couldn't find any traces of him. It seems almost as though he had...
"Suddenly vanished from existence." The Grand Elder completed Leonel's speech.
"Yes, Grand Elder." Leonel said whike breathing heavily.
After all... anything could happen at anytime. The Grand Elder might just suddenly get angry and send him straight into the deep pits of hell.
"You don't need to be scared Leonel. I am not an old man for nothing." The Grand Elder chuckled as he gave a light sigh.
Leonel had a narrowed brow as he really is kinda confused right now.
Not only is the Grand Elder not surprisingly angry, considering how much he had really dotted on Alvina.
But he's here, laughing with me.
This world is really filled with weird people.'
But he didn't dare express his thoughts.
The Grand Elder shook his head as he spoke.
"Am sure you're wondering why I am kinda relax and...perhaps weird. But when Alvina isn't really dead, why do I have to stress myself. But don't worry...we would soon go and get her body and..."
The Grand Elder let out a deep heartfelt laughter...
Leonel didn't even understand what is currently going on.
But he somehow managed to repeat the words.
"A-Alvina isn't dead."
The Grand Elder could understand his surprise...infact even the first grade sect wouldn't know of such a thing. Only a few...really few people might know of such a physique.
He shook his head with a light smile as he spoke.
"I didn't say she isn't dead. She is indeed dead, yet...it doesn't concern you anyways. Just tell Isiah that I will soon come and see him. Also as for that kid, I guess he most probably has a space related treasure...and it's surely one of a high grade, a very high grade infact."
'To allow him to directly pass countless kingdoms, I really have to see this kid. I really have to.'
"But Grand Elder, everyone feels concerned. Especially those from the Martial House, according to them he's a mad and reckless man. And seemingly has a relationship with Moneca."
"Oh...you mean Alvina's step sister." The Grand Elder said with a raised brow.
"Yes Grand Elder. And most importantly, according to what the Martial House leader said. This so called mad man vowed to come back and not only come back,but be back to eradicate the Marquis family. And I have to say...although I really don't want to believe this.
But with such a rate of growth...am sure Grand Elder should understand what I mean."
"Hmm...Indeed, what you said is quite true. With such a fast rate of growth. The boy would indeed become a problem. But you don't have to worry, as long as he returns. I will be there to destroy him. Take this and give it to Isiah. Should he have really graon to an height whereby you won't be able to handle him. Just crush this talisman...and a clone of mine will immediately appear there."
Leonel took the yellow like talisman with a light smile on his face.
"Thanks for your grace, Grand Elder."
He took the yellow talisman that had various red inscriptions on it and immediately kept it.
"Alright, you can leave. I will soon go and get Alvina. Also tell, Isiah not to worry. She is very well okay, and this might actually be a benefit in disguise..."
He passed for a second before he further added.
"After some time...I will come and visit him...with his daughter in hand. Better than she ever was."
The Grand Elder let out a wild laughter as Leonel felt he is in front of an old mad man who had lost it all.
Though he knew he would still have to deliver the message. He gave a light nod as he immediately left the humble abode of the Grand Elder.
Immediately headed for the...Marquis quarters...
Meanwhile, within another continent entirely...
