Chapter 1833: Chapter 1834

He checked her pulse for a full ten minutes. His expression was getting more serious. He took Jade’s

other hand and continued checking her pulse.

It was much longer this time, a full fifteen minutes.

“Well?” Jade asked.

“It’s a huge problem!” Alex frowned and said, “The dislocated and damaged internal organs are not a

great deal, but you’ve been poisoned for too long…”

Jade said, “Just tell me, am I going to die soon?”

She knew her condition well. When the monsters in Myriad Demon Valley besieged them, she, the

commander of Flying Eagles, certainly had to bear the brunt. At that time, only she could rush to the

front and share others’ burdens. Otherwise, the entire squad would have been annihilated ages ago.

She did not suffer from only one kind of poison, but there were many kinds dozens or even hundreds of

poisons.

After fighting continuously for seven days, she did not have time to detoxify the poisons at all. As a

result, the toxins blended to form a more powerful poison. Now, not only had it damaged Jade’s

meridians and internal organs, but it had even rushed into the acupoints all over her body.

Alex shook his head. “You won’ t die, but… Your cultivation base will gradually decrease with the onset

of the toxins. In the end, you’ll turn into… An ordinary person without any cultivation base.”

“An ordinary person?”

Jade smiled bitterly, but she said, “Alright. Actually, I’m quite tired and can’t fight anymore. It’s time… To

let it go.”

She leaned on a chair and slowly closed her eyes. “In fact, someone once persuaded me a long time

ago that I don’t have to be so stubborn to guard the force field. I alone can’t turn the tables on the

matter of the ancient force field. The force field will be broken sooner or later. But, I always feel that it’d

be great if it can be delayed for another day. At least, I can allow ordinary people to live longer happy

and fortunate lives, right?”

Alex was touched.

He suddenly grabbed Jade’s hand and said, “Master, you’re a great hero! You’ve worked all these

years. If you hadn’t insisted on bearing the cross for the others, perhaps, our country would’ve fallen

ages ago! And, I probably wouldn’t even have the chance to be born. Rest assured, I’ll try my best to

save you.”

Jade opened her eyes feebly. “You’re quite good at stirring up emotions.”

Alex said, “It’s the gratitude from the bottom of my heart.”

Alex had witnessed several great battles. Regardless of Rinwell Mathis, Ksitigarbha, the arhat Pindola,

or Jade Benmore in front of him, all of them moved him. They deserved heartfelt admiration.

They were worth living in the world.

All of a sudden, Alex slowly kneeled before Jade.

Jade was startled. “What are you doing?”

Alex said seriously, “I remember that I haven’t formally become your disciple! To be frank, I had a beef

with you before this. I thought you woman would bite the hand that feeds you and go to any lengths to

keep me running errands for you.”

“What about now?”

“Now, I’ll officially acknowledge you as my master. Even if you can’t teach me anything, I want to learn

the way of life from you.”

Jade shook her head. “I’m a failure in my life. Don’t learn from me.”

Alex said, “If you’re a failed human, you wouldn’t have become the only Five-star Warlord in America.”

Jade said, “This is just merit. If I had known how to be a proper human, I wouldn’t have… Divorced…”

“Huh?”

Alex was startled for a moment. “Master, you were married?”

Jade glared at him. “Is that strange?”

Alex shook his head and said, “It’s fine. I’ll look after you in the future. What I mean is… I’ll give you a

pension. ”

Jade rolled her eyes. “How obedient!”

Then, Alex said, “Master, I just want to tell you that you people didn’t enter Myriad Demon Valley by

accident, but it’s a deliberate deed by Colton Lawrence. He wanted all of you buried in Myriad Demon

Valley so that he could seize the opportunity to take your place.”

“What? Colton Lawrence was the one who arranged it?” Jade abruptly straightened up and looked at

Alex in astonishment. “From whom did you hear this?”
