Chapter 1988: Chapter 1989

Jade said, “The world is large, but the universe is even bigger. You may not be able to understand

some things thatI tell you now. In the eyes of the ancient cultivators, our world is tiny. Do you know it?

In fact, in ancient times, our world was at the rock bottom of the world called Mortal Land!”

“Uh…”

“Do you know what it means? A world abandoned by the cultivators can also be called Wasteland!”

Alex looked at Jade in shock.

Jade said, “It’s hard to understand, right? To be frank, we might as well thank the meteor that fell from

the sky thirty years ago. If it hadn’t smashed through the ancient force field and made a gap out of it,

the people in this world wouldn’t have been able to cultivate at all because there was no spiritual

energy.”

“I’ll tell you about these matters after a while. When the time comes, I’ll take you to a place.”

“Alright!”

Alex was worried about Daya in the secret realm, so he did not want to delay the time.

While talking to Jade, he paid attention to the situation outside at all times.

He heard someone outside say, “They may have escaped. They won’t be able to run far away for sure.

We’ll split up to chase after them.”

With Rockefeller Manor as the center, the American Defense Bureau members were divided into

several squads and scattered in all directions.

Alex thought that now was the chance. He instantly passed through Kala Temple’s teleportation portal

and rushed out of it. Then, he identified a direction and was about to run away.

To his surprise, someone stopped him as soon as he ran out for a hundred meters.

“Haha, brat. Where do you think you’re going to escape to?”

“I knew you must be hiding somewhere nearby, but you’re quite capable of avoiding the ears and eyes

of so many Defense Bureau experts.”

Alex took a clear look at the person who stopped him. It was a skinny old man in his sixties. He was all

skin and bones with shaggy hair. Half of his face was covered, but the exposed eye was reddish-

yellow, and the pupil in the middle was vertical.

‘This guy… Isn’t a human!’

After looking at him clearly, Alex made a judgment right away, normal humans’ eyes could not be like

this, so this was a demon.

“What are you?” Alex asked and frowned hard as he felt a threat. This old man gave him a bizarre

feeling. He had an imposing aura and the sound of wind and thunder in between his breaths. He was

definitely a difficult guy.

“Tell me, what was the ancient bridge just now?”

“Take it out, and I’ll spare your life!”

Alex asked, “You aren’t a member of the Defense Bureau nor Flying Eagles. Who the hell are you?”

The skinny old man sneered. “You aren’t qualified to know who I am yet. I’ll give you five seconds to

consider it. Otherwise, I’ll extract your soul and interrogate it slowly.”

Alex felt a burst of anxiety.

Subconsciously, he felt that he might be no match for the old man. The aura was too powerful, like a

huge, majestic mountain or a peerless, great demon. Such a figure should not exist in a place like

America.

What should he do?

It seemed that he had looked down upon the people in the world. There were still some peerless,

strong people. Even someone strong like Jade would not dare to claim herself as invincible in the

world.

Whoosh!

Just then, a group of people rushed back. They were members of the American Defense Bureau. Upon

seeing Alex, these people immediately shouted, “The guy is here!”

Then, one man, who took a glance at the skinny old man next to Alex, said coldly, “Today, we’re only

here to arrest this brat. All the irrelevant people, just leave.”

The skinny old man took a sweeping glance at them and snorted coldly, “You people either get lost or

die!”
