Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System
Chapter 164: Inside the Palace

So, Alex chose the fastest way possible. He smashed the door, then knocked out every guard he met along the way. Although he didn't make Blaire sign the agreement, he put a tracker on him, and a small device slipped into his clothes.

Knowing where to go, Alex made his way through the hallway, and while he did this, he didn't forget to barge into a few rooms he found interesting.

For example, the Library. Alex would hit the door out of the hinge and then knock everyone unconscious. Old, young, man, woman, he didn't discriminate, putting all of them inside the awe cube.

Alex also didn't discriminate between living and non-living.

He passionately put all the objects he deemed interesting into his storage ring. Since he did this in a hurry, he didn't even spare the cabinet, taking it all with him.

If anyone had entered the Library now, what was left were only a few chairs and tables, and all the storage furniture disappeared as if it had never been there.

It didn't take long for Alex to reach the location he was looking for. This place is located on the fourth floor on the west side of the castle.

In front of his eyes was now only a solid wall of wood. But he could feel life force energy coming from inside.

'An illusion barrier,' Alex thought to himself.

His lips then curled upward into a smirk. He took out the EmberShift hammer and then started pouring his qi over it. A yellow flame started engulfing the hammer's head, but he was still not satisfied.

He began manipulating the fire, condensing it into a smaller size; the flame started changing color from orange to blue. But he didn't stop there; he told Vesa to pour some life-force energy into it.

Since the flame was small, it didn't cost a lot of life force to raise its heat to a whole new level. The air itself started to distort by the scorching temperature.

His flame has now already started changing into white. Alex knew if he unleashed this into the palace, it would quickly spread, burning the whole place down.

Even though the normal flame was not enough to burn the tree that made this palace, his flame was now on a whole different level.

But Alex's goal was not to burn this place; he knew if he did this, he could bait the one inside out.

Just as expected, the wall in front of him started to distort. A woman then came out from it, "Are you nuts! Do you want to destroy this whole place?"

"Hmm, finally, someone comes out. Here, I thought it would be the king. Who are you? Are you one of his many wives?" Alex asked.

He could see the woman in front of him was attractive, but he knew it was a fake appearance.

With the information he had, he had already concluded the woman was one of the two that Blaire gifted to the king, a Fairy. He asked that on purpose, wanting to know the woman's response.

"His wife? He wishes," the woman replied.

Alex smirked, tilted his head, then raised his hand upward. The moment he did this, the air distorted. His hand was gripping another hand that was holding a dagger.

The woman in front of him then disappeared, turning into golden dust.

"So, this is how the Fairy race greets each other. Quite a welcome."

Aurora, having her hand gripped, tried to pull it back, but Alex's grip was so strong that it didn't even budge.

"Release me."

"Why should I?" Alex asked while pulling her toward the door that now appeared from the wall.

He kicked the door open. BAM!

Inside, Alex found Blaire in bed, looking at the room situation and the peculiar smell in the air. Alex's lips twitched.

"Fuck you, Blaire! Can't you choose a better time to have an affair?"

But before Blaire could say anything, Alex moved. He put the EmberShift hammer back into the storage ring while he ducked.

Aurora tried to stab him once more with a dagger, but she missed.

"What are you? Do you have eyes behind your back?" She asked with an annoyed tone.

There were many things Alex wanted to ask, but he knew he lacked time.

He could already conclude that Blaire could not move his body. Otherwise, there's no way he'd stay in that embarrassing position even with him there now.

Alex spun, pulling the woman forward, then hit her in the gut with enough strength to make the woman's face turn blue.

Seeing this made Blaire's face etched with worry. No matter what, Aurora held a special place in his heart. But everything was happening too fast for him to even say anything.

Alex threw Aurora toward Blaire while hitting her in the neck, effectively making her unconscious. He then put both of them into the AweCube.

With his objective achieved, Alex turned around, wanting to leave the premises. Unfortunately, his escape path was blocked midway through the tunnel.

In front of him, a dozen security guards had already gathered. They all pointed their rifles toward Alex while the one leading them looked coldly at him.

He is the general who is responsible for protecting the castle.

Alex's eyes turned sharp, but he was not looking at the general. He could feel another life force appear behind the squad.

'This life force appeared out of nowhere. Is it something like teleportation?' Alex wondered.

"Return, my sister," a cold feminine voice reached Alex's ears.

Hearing the voice, the squad separated, making way while the general respectfully bowed.

Everyone in the palace had already memorized the voice. And they knew this woman had authority only below the king, with strength that they could not underestimate.

The woman that came had a Feraldien appearance with bob-cut black hair and black eyes.

Her body was slim, with height reaching Alex's eyes. But Alex knew this was not her real appearance; he could also see a similar bangle in her hand.
