Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System
Chapter 162: Reaching The Palace

Hearing the man's answer, Alex clenched his fist. Qi started moving towards his muscles, strengthening them.

Alex pulled his hand back, his shoulder muscles tensed, while the muscles on his arm started coiling. Like a spring, his hand moved forward, cutting through the air, aimed at the man's neck.

BAM!

The angle was calculated perfectly, rendering him unconscious. Since Fairies have similar biology to humans, Alex could do this perfectly in one hit, compared to when he hit the monster in the forest. Each has a different biological structure, making him need to test and calculate for every hit.

The man's world quickly became enshrouded by darkness. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself on a small patch of dry land surrounded by the Void. There was nothing there.

He tried to move but then realized he was now tied to a chair. A rope tightly binds his hand to the armrest. Another is on his leg, and the other is on his torso.

Minutes passed by, but for him, it felt like an eternity.

Left alone in this place that was void of everything, fear started growing in his heart. In panic, a golden aura started coming out from him, but before it could even form to release his abilities, a strong presence filled the area, suffocating him.

A red smoke then started appearing, gathering in front of the man. It gathered into a humongous form of a bat.

A booming voice reverberated in his mind, "You will answer my question if you wish to survive, young fairy. Or you can try to fight back so we can have a good session instead."

Vesa's lips raised into a grin, showing its sharp teeth.

Outside, Alex didn't stand still; he kept moving, tracking other fairies while making his way toward the Palace. After he knocked the man out, he put him inside the Awe cube.

He doesn't plan to take him under his wing, only interrogating the man to get more information. And with Vesa, he just needed to relegate the work.

Vesa is an expert in interrogation; he has heard how Vesa made a golden core cultivator turn meek from a few sessions.

It doesn't take long for him to finally arrive near the Palace. Just as he visited before, the security was flawless, unable to detect their life force, also making it harder for Alex to replace a way to infiltrate.

If he could see everyone on the map, it would make everything easier. He looked once more, calculating his chance.

'With my experience, forget infiltration, I will probably just get caught. It seems I need to do that now.' Alex's thought

Alex closed his eyes. He imagined the Palace in his mind, thinking of the best angle to start the attack. Since he cannot infiltrate, he might as well go all out.

His eyes opened, and Alex then moved to another side of the Palace, which was one of the areas he had calculated as the weakest spot.

The Palace was surrounded by walls made of thorny vines, with enough width for three people to walk side by side. There were many watchtowers with a sentry turret installed on top of each.

Many guards also walked on top of the wall doing their patrol.

Under the wall, there was also a very deep moat filled with clear water, with many animals living inside it.

Even though the creatures looked pleasing to the eyes, like rainbow-colored fish as big as normal sharks and a turtle the size of a human with a beautifully patterned shell, Alex knew they were dangerous.

There was only one way to enter the castle without swimming through the moat: passing through the bridge through the main gate that was heavily fortified.

Other than this, there was a second path; Alex knew this from Lily's information; it's hidden from the public, prepared for an emergency escape for the royalty.

However, this path is not only located in a more fortified area of the castle; he will need to swim through the lake facing the monster, and Alex is prepared to take this path.

The monster is not his opponent; as long as he does it fast without making noise, he will be safe. And he already planned to make a big distraction.

Splash! Alex threw a storage ring into the water.

One of the guards realized something was thrown into the moat.

This made him take out a device that looked like binoculars. Squinting his eyes, as the water was very clear, he could see directly what the object was. Seeing a ring, the man frowned.

"Who dares to throw trash in the royalty river?"

"What trash?" Another guard beside him felt confused.

"Look." The man gave him the binoculars.

Using it, the other guard could see the ring that his comrade had just pointed out; it was just a normal brass ring.

He was about to comment when suddenly he saw something coming out from the ring; it was a black liquid. With how clear the water was, the black liquid was like ink polluting it. It sticks out like a sore thumb.

The Dark liquid kept spreading, quickly bringing the attention of all the guards.

"What is that?"

"Whatever it is, I am sure it's dangerous. See, even all the water monsters are escaping, trying to avoid it."

BEEP!

One of the soldiers' communicators rang. Hearing the information coming from his other comrade made all of them frown.

The situation was very serious, and they didn't know what to do; there was no protocol for when the water moat got contaminated with strange liquid.

The Feldian technology is all focused on using crystal, which allows them to have a pollution-free energy source. Making them never face any pollution problem.

The news told them that a similar thing was happening on the other side of the Palace; it was coming from all directions.

After throwing that storage ring, Alex proceeded to move to the other side, doing the same thing before he finally stopped near the area with the hidden entrance to the Palace.
