Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

If she could find a way to implement this into her cultivation, Emily knew her strength would rise many times over.

"Yes, I am finished. Just need to do one more thing." Alex took out the Awe Cube and then sent out a hi-goblin.

"King." The blue-skinned tall man kneeled on the ground.

"Guard the door and my sister. Make sure nothing disturbs them."

"Yes, King."

Clara was not surprised by the Awe Cube since she knew many artifacts that were similar in usage. She herself had one that contained a small world, a place where she kept her most precious plants for alchemy.

Otherwise, she would already cry blood when Alex absorbed all the plants in the clan.

"Should I send someone here too?" Clara asked. She had already planned to do this but just asked to make sure Alex was fine with it.

"Yes, a guard and one maid would be good, just in case my mom needs something."

"All right, don't worry, they will not be mistreated. Many people respect your father here; well, those who do not are all in prison." Clara said as she began walking toward her abode. She planned to bring Alex to her private laboratory; this way, she hoped he would share more insight about cultivation.

"Why did you keep them alive?" Alex directly asked as he followed her.

"Do you even know who they are? If we kill them, things will become more complicated. And it's not like it's easy to be done."

"My father poisoned them, making sure they couldn't use their cultivation. It's so potent that even a Late Transcendent Stage cannot do anything against it.

Both you and Stella are immortal; I don't see any problem with you killing all of them."

"You may think both of us are the real pillars of the Zephyr Clan, and you are not wrong about it. But do you think both of us have time to manage the clan?

Edward is the one maintaining the operation. He has made plans for whole years with many what-if scenarios, but what if the worst happens?"

"So you are keeping them just in case."

"Yes, what do you think we keep them for? For fun and giggles? With what happened, they surely have a vendetta against us."

"Based on what I learned, they should already have had it for a while."

"Who knows, nor do I care about it. Now that you say this, does this mean you know everything Edward did?"

"More or less, you could say my father already made many preparations for everything."

"Tell me then, what happened this last month? Is it Edward's plan or the being that possessed him?"

"Both."

"Meaning?" Clara asked as she turned her gaze, looking at Alex's expression.

"The Dragari King thinks it's his plan, but my father already knew that was what he would do anyway. So you could say both were as he planned."

"Then what is his purpose for the Zephyr Clan? And what about the things that he promised to me and Stella?"

"He was not lying. The answer is if he can return from the expedition."

"So that is where he went. That makes sense; I always wondered why he didn't join in. At first, I thought it was because his cultivation had reached the Immortal Realm, but I'm still not sure."

"Yes, he joined from the start."

"So that should be the time when he completely swapped with the Dragari King, you say?"

"Yes. You don't seem surprised with the Dragari King."

Clara let out a chuckle, "Haha, I just knew that lizard would not die that easily. When I helped your father there, I was wondering what he would do with his soul, so I thought he did this instead. Do you know why?"

At that time, Clara offered to take care of the soul, but Edward rejected it.

"He wanted to look at who the main culprit behind everything was. With the Dragari King's soul inside his body, the path goes both ways. My father was also able to read his memory."

"Interesting. So what is the cause?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I will answer if you tell me, how are you on that planet? Based on what I know, immortals here cannot leisurely go to other worlds.

You can try traveling through the void, but the risk is too high, and so far, no one has ever returned through it."

With the Dragari King's memory, Alex also learned many things about the Blue Jewel Planet, including knowledge of the immortal, demonic cultivator and many other things.

"By luck? Well, at that time, your father was the one playing from a rift on that planet. I just caught it by coincidence using my own formation.

You should know the rest; we exchanged many pieces of information and contacted each other until your father opened a portal that brought me there.

But to think he completely decimated the planet afterward. Honestly, I don't think he needed my help at all."

"He needed it to find a way to return home safely."

"I mean, he could make that rift through the void,

something that no immortal has been capable of through the years. What was stopping him from making one return to your own world?"

"Nothing. In fact, there is still a portal open there linked to my world. It's just my father knew returning like that would bring more danger."

"So you mean safer for his world? Or, in this case, the safety of his family."

"Family, friends, acquaintances? Well, my father has a huge sense of responsibility."

"How about you then, Alex? So far, I have caught you as someone who doesn't care about anything. It's like you are detached from your own life."

"I just do what I need to do," Alex replied. He then stopped in his steps.

He turned his gaze to the side, a distance away at a gazebo on top of the lake. He saw MingYue sitting there in a daze.
