Alex gave Jayden Flemming a call.
It was a coincidence he⦠Alright, it should be her right now, Snow Whitney. She was currently in the
Blood Cult branch, and after months of lurking in there, she had also received a lot of information about
them. But when Alex asked about the Blood Witch, she could not give him any information, stating that
she hadnât even heard of the name before.
Either way, she was there to provide support, which could also facilitate the actions of Nora and the
others. Alex currently isnât able to go to Japan with his condition right now.
On the one hand, after going through lending his life force to someone else, his body was experiencing
a certain degree of continuous aging. If it werenât for the fact that he had Neela from the Benares
Dragon in him, the aging process would probably be more serious. Those from the Benares Dragon
tribe had long lives.
Neelaâs lifeforce and Alexâs were connected, but Alex was still human in the end, and his cultivation
base was not very high. He couldnât gain all of Neelaâs life force.
Jadeâs cultivation base was much higher than his, and the loss of her life force needed to be
compensated by Alexâs. It wasnât a one to one exchange. For every year Jade might lose, she needed
to use ten years of Alexâs lifespan to replenish. Therefore, he needed to minimize the consumption of
Jadeâs life force.
On the other hand, it was useless for Alex to head to Japan right now. It was better to leave it to a
professional like Nora.
There was no time to lose. Nora and Martiny took eight other masters who had retired from Flying
Eagles and headed straight for Japan.

At night, Alex and Dorothy slept in the same bed, not doing anything more than that.
Alex did want to do something, but Dorothy was unwilling and pressed him down with all her might and
said, âDo you want to die? Youâve already become an old man. I donât want to do that with an oldâ¦
Cough. Are you stupid? It isnât like that master of yours treats you well or anything, yet you still share
your life force with her. If anything were to happen to you, what would you have me do? What about our
four children? Do you want them to become posthumous children?â
Alex held Dorothyâs belly and planted a soft kiss on it. Then, he smiled and said, âI wonât. Iâve already
used the Zharvakko talisman and formation, as well as the Limit Breaking Pill to suppress as much of
the toxin as possible in her body, so the loss of life force wouldnât be too fast! Cheryl is also studying
the poison to make an antidote. The problem isnât as serious as you think it is.â
âHumph, youâre not allowed to do this again. Itâs not that Iâm selfish. Itâs just that you have heavy
responsibilities right now.â
âMy master has pledged her life for the country and its people,â Alex said, âIf I donât save her, I will feel
uneasy! Whatmore, the left-wing troop of Flying Eagles has completely fallen in the Blood Cultâs hands,
and the position of commander has fallen into the hands of the major families in the country. Without a
commander like my master in Flying Eagles, Iâm worried that something big will happen soon⦠If she
doesnât die, she can still reconstruct Flying Eagles in the future. If she really did die, then everything is
over, and we wonât have any more peaceful days in the future.â
Dorothy slapped Alex on the head. âI suddenly thought of a formation.â
âWhat formation?â
âThe Hourglass of Time.â
Alex furrowed his brows. âWhy havenât I heard of it?â
Dorothy sat up and said, âThe Hourglass of Time is a time attribute formation. It can change the speed
of time and can slow down time within the formation. You can place your master in the formation, and it
will greatly reduce the consumption of her life force.â
Alex was silent, then said, âA time attribute formation which follows the law of time is difficult to draw
up, and it requires an understanding of the time attribute runes. Currently, Iâm far from reaching that
level.â
âI know how to do it!â Dorothy said.
âYou do?â
âThatâs right! In the inheritance that I received, the Hourglass of Time is one of them. In my previous
life, I seemed to have had special feelings towards the law of time. It seems there was a time when I
fell into a place called the Time Ruins and was stuck there for a couple hundred thousand years.â
âWhat?!â Alex was stunned.
