Back then, after they killed a female trialist of the Galaxy Nova, they stripped the clothes off her body.
Shirley was embarrassed when Alex said that she ran around in her birthday suit, so she wore the
clothes on her. However, it was damaged during the Tribulation Crossing.
Alex thought that its material was decent and could be reused after it was stitched. So, he picked it up
and put it into the storage ring at that time. Unlike now, he had killed dozens of Galaxy Nova trialists till
he was fed up with picking them up and putting them into the storage ring.
Things were different now.
After taking the underwear, Xerxes took a look and said with a nod, âIâll try if I can utilize it.â
He immediately took out a small flag, which should be a treasure, before he began working his magic.
âThis seems to be the ultimate skill of the Maiko Sect!â Dorothy whispered as she looked at Xerxesâs
movements.
âThe Maiko Sect?â
Alex had somewhat heard of it before. It was an extremely ancient and mysterious sect.
Indeed, it was based on divination and fortune-telling. They also cultivated relatively extraordinary
things and had more dealings with spirits. According to the cultivation system, it was considered a
heterodox sect, one that could be successful in the great world, especially the Maiko Sect that was
more proficient in the art of talismans. Thus, one could also reach the pinnacle by studying that art.
Ten minutes or so passed.
In Xerxesâ hand, the small flag fluttered from the wind and suddenly soared into the air, flying in a
certain direction.
âIt worked!â
Xerxes grinned as he said, âI was able to complete the mission by sheer luck. Alex, those youâre
looking for shouldnât be too far from here. Weâll be able to find them if we follow the small flag. â
The Grand Bodhisattva, who had not spoken before, looked at that small flag and said, âThis is the
Airborne Flame Flag. I didnât expect that one of the renowned five direction flags back then would be in
your hand, almsgiver. Amitabha, well done!â
That was an extremely rare sort of treasure.
Xerxes initially didnât want to expose it, but now that the Grand Bodhisattva had revealed its identity, he
could no longer deny it and could only nod lightly.
The Grand Bodhisattva smiled and did not talk about that matter again.
Only then did Xerxes heave a sigh of relief. Now that he was in such a situation, he could not do
anything about it if the Grand Bodhisattva said he wanted to borrow the flag for his use and then forgot
to return it to him. Xerxes felt that he had earned Alexâs friendship, which was not considered a loss
despite the exposure.
âGo after it. Quickly!â
They raced and found the target in less than ten minutes.
Shirley Hancock.
However, Alex became infuriated as soon as he saw her condition.
Presently, she was hung under an ancient tree as a group of people surrounded her. She was at her
last gasp as her bones were forcibly dismantled and her mental state was terrible to the point of
hanging by a thread with a third of the bones in her body had been removed.
Crack!
A rib was forcibly severed again.
A male trialist in red spun the bone in his hand as he ferociously roared, âAre you still refusing to
speak? Tell us quickly. Where are your two companions? Do you think you can beg for death to your
heartâs content if you say nothing? Impossible. Later, Iâll get a few bones from the lowly bone demons
and transplant them to you so that youâllâ¦â
Swoosh!
Before he could even finish, a sharp arrow suddenly broke through the air and directly hit the manâs
head. It entered the temple on one side and exited on the other.
It was an arrow shot from Dorothyâs bow. When she was still âAunt Rockefellerâ, she was an excellent
archer.
Shirley was also startled for a moment, but she soon noticed Alex rushing over and killing people
effortlessly. He still had a few experts behind him for assistance, so all the kidnappers were annihilated
in less than two minutes.
âShirley, how are you? Iâm Alex Rockefeller!â
Alex put Shirley down.
âAlex? Youâre finally here. I was about, to be killed. Sobâ¦â
Shirley directly hugged Alex and cried.
Dorothyâs eyes flickered as she was holding the Fiery Phoenix Bow. She even looked at the underwear
in Xerxesâ hand that he had used as a guide before she looked at Shirley again and frowned. âIt isnât
Dayaâs?!â
