The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1637
Alex raised an eyebrow after hearing those words. He thought, ‘Ah, this old fart has finally gotten back on the right track this time.’
He plastered a smile on his face and said, “You’re welcome, Sect Master Bela. This is not a good place to talk, let’s head back into the city first!”
Alcina Bela nodded her head. “Alright!”
Now that things had progressed to this point, who would want to continue staying here?
It was just that it was easy to come here, but it took more time to leave. Old Whitey couldn’t carry so many people on its back. Moreover, it was not willing to carry everyone in the first place.
And so, by the time they returned to Spiritual Valley City, it was already the next evening. When the ladies of Floral Valley reunited, it was another round of uncontrollable sobbing.
“Sect Master Bela, can we get out of this Spiritual Valley Dungeon in less than a month?” Alex asked Alcina, who was bandaging someone’ s wound.
Alcina nodded. “Yes!”
“Is there no other way?” Alex asked.
After pondering for a while, Alcina said, “There shouldn’t be any. Even if there is, I’m not aware of it as well.”
Alex frowned and looked at Old Whitey, hoping that it could point out a way to get out of this place quickly. If he had to stay here for a full month, not to mention the threat of the skeleton army, it would be very depressing to stay here stupidly.
Unfortunately, Old Whitey didn’t show him the way out either.
***
The time of the outside world and the Spiritual Valley Dungeon should be the same. As the sun set, the moon rose. The moon was particularly round tonight, and it looked to have a hint of red.
Alex sat on the roof of the tallest building in the city that was at least a hundred meters off the ground, with his feet dangling off the edges. It felt as though he could catch the moon in the sky if he just reached out his hand.
“Luna, have you ever been to that battlefield?”
Luna was sitting next to him, barefooted, with her long, fair legs exposed. She turned to look at him when she heard his words. “Which battlefield? Oh, are you talking about the battlefield within the ancient force field in Oregon? Yes, I’ve been there.”
“What’s it like inside it?”
“I’ve only been to the outermost base. I wanted to go outside to take a look, but my father was watching me very closely, and he wouldn’t let me go in at all. He said that with my cultivation level, my life would be in danger the entire time.”
Alex was stunned. “You still have a father?”
Luna reached out to twist his ears. ”Who doesn’t have a father? If you don’t have a father, how were you born? Did a monkey give birth to you?”
Alex pretended to be in pain as he made two yelps, then said, “That’s not what I meant. I’ve never heard you talk about your father… According to what you said, your father is also inside the ancient force field on that battlefield? What is he doing in there?”
Luna’s lips curled slightly and said, “What else do you do on a battlefield? Of course he’s fighting! My mother is there too.”
Alex straightened up, feeling a deep veneration towards her.
“You mean, your parents are both members of the American army, who kill enemies on the battlefield and serve the country? That’s amazing!”
He thought that Luna’s mother, who was called the Old Moon Devil, was someone who practiced demonic cultivation. Never did he expect that she would be so heroic and respectable.
“She’s not really a member of the military, but the only Five-star Warlord in America, Jade Benmore, is my aunt! Who asked for the entrance of the ancient force field to be within America’s territory? Someone has to stand up and fight off those foreign forces, right?”
“Once those things within the ancient force field are allowed to escape, America will be overwhelmed. A lot of things have to be done not because we want to do it.”
“It’s not like it hasn’t happened before. Thirty years ago, before you were born and when the ancient force field had just been broken, a wave of monsters had entered America and caused a great upheaval, resulting in many deaths.”
Alex placed a hand on Luna’s thigh. It wasn’t because of lust. Rather, it was because he had a drastic change in attitude toward her inherent views.
She was a demonic cultivator, but she was also very upright in the view of the world. Not only that, she also had a deep sense of patriotism towards her country and family.
