Chapter 1474: Knowledge



The sect leader looked around, searching for a way to escape. He looked down and saw that the sect elders that were supposed to be protecting him were dying of the monster that Alex had brought along.

"King of Southern Continent," the man quickly spoke. "I want to make a deal with you."

Alex's eyes narrowed. "What deal?" he asked curiously.

"Let me live, protect me even if you can. If you do so, I will share with you the results of the experiments that I have been doing here," the man said.

"What have you been doing here?" Alex asked.

"I can't tell you unless you swear to protect me," the sect leader said.

"I can also just let you die, you know," Alex said. "I don't have to do anything."

"Then you'll miss out on potentially one of the greatest bits of knowledge that could make your life a whole lot better," the man said with a crazy smile. "Do you not want to learn what it is? Just promise you will protect me and I will let you know."

Alex couldn't help but smile. "You've got me rather curious now. I do wish to learn what it is," he said. 

"Yes, just promise me that you will—"

Suddenly, something far stronger than anything he had sensed from Alex just yet covered him entirely, constricting his movements from head to toe.

"I said I was curious," Alex said as he reached into his storage and pulled out a pill bottle. "Not that I wanted to protect you."

"Wh-what are you—" the man tried to speak, but Alex's blood had wrapped around the man, limiting his movements, even his speech.

"You will tell me everything," Alex said as he placed the pill into the man's mouth. "Whether you like it or not."

He poured his Qi into the man's mouth and pushed the pill into his stomach. 

Alex waited for a while as the pill took effect, and finally freed the man's face from his constrictions. He looked at the guard before who was still somewhat busy fighting, but it wouldn't be long before he finished.

He needed to see what important topic it was that the sect leader thought he could obtain his protection.

"First of all, are the children you said were sick from the orphanage safe?" Alex asked.

"No, they are sick," the man said uncontrollably.

"Oh, you weren't lying?" Alex was indeed a little surprised. "Why haven't you tried to treat them yet?"

"Because we need them sick and dying," the man said. 

Alex frowned a bit. "What?" he asked in surprise. "Did you make the children sick purposefully?"

"Yes," the sect leader answered.

Alex felt a pang of anger build up when he heard that, but he calmed himself down. The fight below was close to end, so he needed to finish this question quickly too.

"Why use do you have by making them sick?" he asked.

"To follow through on the knowledge that I learned," the sect leader said.

"What knowledge?" Alex asked.

The man opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out of them. Instead, his face twisted in a grimace, as if Alex was squeezing him too hard.

Alex quickly made sure his blood wasn't constricting him too hard, and when he realized it wasn't, he wondered for a moment what was happening.

"Why aren't you answering? Tell me what the knowledge is?" he asked.

The man tried answering, but his face twisted in a grimace again. He was definitely trying to speak the truth, but something was stopping him.

"Did you speak an oath to not talk about it?" Alex asked.

"Yes," the man said.

"Then how were you going to tell me what you had learned?" Alex asked. "Do you have a book that gave you the knowledge??" 

"No, I destroyed it. Only I know about it now," the sect leader said. 

"And you can't tell me?" Alex asked.

"No," the man said. 

"Well… that's problematic," Alex thought. He looked below at the situation while thinking about what it is that he could do. 

"Is there anyone else that knows about whatever this knowledge is?" he asked the man.

"They know what it is about," the sect leader answered. "Only I know the knowledge itself."

"And do you know of any loopholes in your oath that I could exploit to get the knowledge out of you?" Alex asked.

"I can only pass along the information once I have done it to myself," the man said.

"Do it to yourself? So, it is something physical?" Alex asked. He wasn't getting any answer from the man so there was only one thing left to do.

An illusory sword formed from Alex's spiritual energy and he used it to cut all over the sect leader's body. All of a sudden, the sect leader felt his body go limp as he couldn't bring out even the tiniest amount of power.

The blood around him disappeared, and Alex took him back down to where the guard was killing the last person who had fought back. He had shown absolutely no mercy to anyone, killing even the weakest of them.

Alex looked around at the bloody ground and breathed out. "You didn't let anyone live?" he asked.

"I told you before, your majesty," the guard said. "The Azure Imperium smashes and culls every single sect or group that walks down an evil path. The fact that they tried to attack us meant that they deserved death."

Alex didn't say anything, simply nodding in response. 

"It must have been hard," Alex said.

"Not at all," the guard said. "As a member of the Head Legion, if I couldn't destroy a sect of this level on my own, I wouldn't even be allowed to be a part of the Legion."

Alex could only give a dry laugh.

"Why is he still alive?" the guard asked, seeing the sect leader alive.

"I thought you would want the main culprit for questioning," Alex said.

"We have the others here that we can question," the guard said.

"Yeah… I'm not sure about that," Alex said. "Guard me for a few seconds, okay? I will need some protection."

"What do you mean?" the guard asked. 

"Uhh… just protect me please," Alex said and sat down, with the sect leader sitting next to him uncontrollably. He brought out Whisker and kept him inside of his robes to let Alex know if something happened outside.

Then, using this spiritual energy, he tried to force his way into the sect leader's spiritual sea.

"Your majesty?" the guard realized what was happening, so he called for him. However, Alex didn't react at all. 

Both Alex and the leader's bodies dropped listlessly on the ground, making the man panic as to what could have happened to them. Had the King just invaded another individual's spiritual sea?

He didn't know what to do. He stood there, wondering if he should let King Jin know, but then Alex had told him to protect him, so he did.

He paced around for a few minutes, not even bothering to rescue the people behind him. Then, a few minutes later, Alex's body moved as he slowly got back up. 

The old man looked at Alex, only to see a look of shock and wide eyes on his face.
