Chapter 1362 Completely Exposed
“What is it that happened?” Jonathan asked anxiously, fixing his eyes on Alec after closing the coffin.
In terms of the number of cultivators and overall strength, Sanctuary was the most formidable force across Aploth and Epea, aside from a few families within the Enlighteners.
Considering Sanctuary’s power, it was capable of mounting a counterattack even if the entire West Epea Alliance and countries such as Chanaea and the like collectively launched an attack on Remdik.
If even Alec, the founder of Sanctuary, was reacting in such a way, something earth-shattering must have happened out there.
Just a moment ago, all Jonathan and Sirius saw was Alec reaching out and swatting Michael away.
But in reality, Michael had already been tormented for an indeterminable amount of time in divine space.
Alec looked at Jonathan, his eyes blanketed with frost.
“The Enlighteners have begun purging the world of those of the Divine Realm. This affects all forces worldwide with Divine Realm cultivators. And this time, the key area is Chanaea,” he uttered coldly.
Then, he expounded, “Based on the information I just received, the thirteen families began infiltrating Chanaea after the eight respectable families in the country joined forces to wipe out the Whitley family ten years ago. Thus far, all the families’ locations and forces are in their hands. The families responsible for the purge of forces in Southeast Aploth this time are the Collins and Rothschild families.”
Upon hearing that, Sirius streaked over to Alec’s side.
At that moment, Sirius had seemingly forgotten that Alec was an old demon powerful enough to kill him.
Clutching the man’s collar with both hands, he glared at him furiously.
“That’s impossible! No outsider could possibly locate the Eight Great Families’ ancestral ground!”
“Why not?” Alec said, looking at Sirius with an icy look in his eyes.
His body shook slightly, and a powerful surge of spiritual energy radiated out in all directions, with him at the epicenter.
Swept away by that surge of spiritual energy, Sirius went flying before landing heavily a dozen meters away.
“Considering your concern over your family’s safety, I won’t hold it against you this time. But if you dare to do it again, I assure you that you’ll be as dead as a doornail,” Alec said coldly while eyeing the disheveled man.
Even though Alec appeared to be a teenager and seemingly very much easy-going in nature, he was a sixty-year-old Divine Realm cultivator.
As such, he would never tolerate someone else disrespecting him.
“I don’t believe it!”
Shooting to his feet, Sirius whipped out a spear and pointed it at the center of Alec’s forehead.
“So what if you used divine space? Who can prove that you received all that information? I think you’re just spreading anxiety here, trying to trick me and Jonathan, you old coot. Speak up! What is your motive exactly?”
Before Sirius could finish speaking, Alec’s figure had already vanished into thin air.
Ever since Jonathan faced off against Alec and Michael, he fully unfolded his spiritual sense field, imprinting everything within a twenty-meter radius into his mind.
It was for no other reason than to guard against the two Divine Realm cultivators suddenly making a move.
Despite all precautions, Jonathan could only sense an afterimage fleeting through his consciousness when Alec disappeared.
Before he even had a chance to react, Alec had already reached Sirius.
The spear snapped, and without any flourish, Alec shot out his left hand and struck Sirius’ circulatory system.
“Sirius!” Jonathan shouted.
Alas, he was still a second too late.
With just a single strike, Sirius’ circulatory system was shattered entirely. The runes on his body didn’t even have the chance to travel toward his chest before they lost their luster.
A step behind, Jonathan swiftly dashed over to Sirius’ back.
A vibrant green light lit up his palms, and a vast life force surged into the latter’s body wildly, aiding in the reconstruction of his circulatory system.
“Alec!” Jonathan roared at Alec in anger.
Alec looked at Jonathan coldly, exerting force on the spear he held in a hand.
Snap!
The remaining half of the spear was completely crushed under the man’s palm.
“Do you really think I’m easy-going? Someone who dares to point a weapon at me is simply courting death!” Alec uttered, staring at Jonathan and Sirius icily.
The circulatory system and energy field were the foundations of a cultivator. One was the source of spiritual energy, while the other was the origin of vitality. Once shattered, the only outcome for a cultivator was death.
If the average cultivator were to encounter that situation, it would be of no use even if he had some effective medicine on him.
With such an injury, death and the loss of all cultivation would come before the medicine could take effect.
However, Jonathan’s life force was an exception.
So long as the cultivator’s spirit soul remained, life force could help restore his body in a short time, even if he had been beaten into a pulp.
From the moment he caught Sirius to when they landed on the ground, he had restored most of the latter’s circulatory system within seconds.
Although he hadn’t fully recovered his vitality then, his life was no longer in danger.
He raised both his hands, planning to perform hand seals to activate the runes on his body to gather.
Just as he was about to do so, Jonathan clapped a hand over his fingers.
“What are you doing?” Jonathan demanded in a chilly voice, withdrawing his life force.
At that moment, the life force within Sirius was already sufficient to heal his remaining injuries.
Sirius gritted his teeth, struggling to break free from Jonathan’s restraint.
“Let go of me! Just because he claims to be the founder of Sanctuary, so it’s true? Join forces with me, Jonathan! We’ll take him down together!”
Jonathan held onto Sirius’ hands firmly.
“Sirius, even if we join forces, we stand no chance against him. Do you really want to squander all your life force and die deceiving yourself? If that’s truly what you want, then I’ll unseal all of my powers right now and let you kill him!”
As he spoke, he dropped his hold on the latter’s hand and moved aside.
Upon seeing that, Sirius went silent instead.
Looking at Alec across from him, he said nothing. Only after a good ten or more seconds did he finally let out a sigh.
“If the Collins family has really started to purge the Divine Realm cultivators out there, they must certainly know our family’s location—”
Before Sirius could finish speaking, Alec had already begun to speak slowly.
“Glybir, Warblerich, Dyadgon Mountain.”
They were just three simple place names, but when they tumbled out of his mouth, it was as though all of Sirius’ strength had been drained away.
The ancestral land of the Blackwood family that has been hidden for thousands of years has been completely exposed!
As Alec looked at Sirius, who stood rooted to the spot, a hint of pity was visible in his gaze.
“Don’t worry. It’s not only the Blackwood family. The ancestral lands of many other major clans, including many hidden sects in Chanaea, have been completely exposed. The Collins and Rothschild families have already launched an indiscriminate purging.”
