Chapter 595 Choric Manifold!

ROAMING INN

ENTRANCE HALL.

"Woosh~"

With the power of Alina’s teleportation fueling their bodies, Alex, Queen Mother, and Professor Frances found themselves suddenly teleported right in front of the Roaming Inn.

The three froze for a second, as they observed the majestic and huge building that is standing right in front of them.

"..."

This building was certainly good-looking, and the large amounts of people coming in and out of it just made it look more impressive.

But of course Alex was not interested on these trivial things.

Instead of appreciating the beauty of this building, Alex’s eyes just roved on the hanged plaque in front of the building.

This plaque, which was laid with gold and silver on its edges, held the name ’Roaming Inn’ on its body.

The sight of these words in the plaque was enough to make Alex feel relieved, as he now realized that he has arrived at the right place.

"Here we are, guys. Now, just like what I told you earlier, you two must always be careful of everything around us. You never know, we might trigger some creatures here..." Alex slowly said as he and the other two women began walking towards the building. "And the Returners that we could meet earlier will surely be wary of us. So always stay vigilant!"

Professor Frances and Queen Mother both frowned after hearing Alex’s advice, as if they were slightly irritated with his nagging tone.

This led to the two women to start complaining, but before the two could speak out their grievances, a newcomer suddenly interrupted their conversation.

"So... you are the famed Traveler Alex. The one who, despite his lacking cultivation, has managed to amass a group of Rookies under our eyes. Not only that, but you also have managed to conquer the territory of the Immortal Empress! Tsk, that deeds alone are enough to make you a legend!"

A young man with curly black hair and blue eyes casually gave these praises to Alex, with the former’s formal suit and tie making him appear extremely regal. This kind of appearance gave the young man an image of classiness on Alex’s eyes, something that made him look like a gentleman.

This young man’s pose and mannerisms also appear refined when he talked, with his words sounding like finely-tuned piano keys. Such voice might be irritating if heard from others, but from this young man’s throat, his piano-like voice was just pure music to the ears.

"...."

Upon seeing this man, Alex’s first reaction was to squint, as he found him and his mannerisms as somewhat confusing.

If this young man was to be judged based on his appearance alone, anyone will treat him as a righteous, innocent person that must be supported and protected.

That is how charming this young man looked right now, and the way that he smiled and held his body just increased this charm of his.

But for Alex and his companions, this young man who just praised him was anything but righteous.

After all, Alex can feel a powerful killing intent coming from this young man, which is a great contrast from the young man’s brightly smiling face.

Such kind of killing intent was the type that can easily make anyone with weak heart faint. Even Alex, whose mind has been tempered countless times already, could not help but feel cold upon sensing this killing intent.

"...."

How could not Alex feel cold? Even from this distance, Alex could feel that this killing intent was meant for him and only him alone.

The young man might not really show it, but Alex could feel this young man’s penetrative, murderous intentions boring imaginary holes on his body. It was so pervasive to the point that Alex was thinking of even covering his skin up.

"...."

This kind of feeling was something that Alex was used to feel before, although the mere fact that he is feeling it from this young man is intriguing to him.

Aside from intriguing him, this killing intent also made Alex feel instantly hostile against the young man.

After all, for this young man to have this killing intent towards Alex only meant one thing; And that he has some sort of grudge towards Alex, and that he might not hesitate to perform sinister actions against him!

"Oh, I am happy that you have heard of my exploits. My name really has been famous as of late..." Alex did not jump against this killing intent, as he only gave the young man a calm, collected answer. "But for you to hear my exploits this early makes me curious of you too. You seem to be too much... knowledgeable about me."

"Oh, these are perks that I get form my job. With my position in my group, it is easy for me to know everything." The young man casually answered, with his fake smiling face unaltered by Alex’s intrusive questions.

This smile then turned into a slight frown, as the young man began to give Alex a wary look.

"Hey, I really don’t like your suspicious look to me, Mr. Alex. Why are you looking at me like that?" The young man still sounded calm at this point, but a slight quiver can be heard from his voice as his fists visibly clenched. "Is there any problem that you have with me, Mr. Alex?"

"Oh, I actually have one problem with you, young man..." Alex quclky shot back, as he did not back down from his questioning. "You see, I can feel your killing intent to me since you have followed me earlier. That killing intent made me confused, since I am sure that I have never met you before. But yet you still looked like you want to kill me, and boy, your killing intent to me is really high....

"Woosh~"

The winds coincidentally blew behind Alex as he said these words, which made his long hair flow behind him like a majestic river.

This made Alex look just as refined as the young man, but the nature of Alex’s words and the current predatory look on his face made this refined look belong to that of a psychopath.

The young man seemed to have noticed it, although he did not do anything drastic in response to this.

"Well, well, well, I thought I had hidden my killing intent well. With my powerful seals, it is hard for anyone to feel my killing intent. But you have detected it, so I guess that means that you are deserving of your position..." The young man still retained the creepy smile on his face as he gave this answer, although the killing intent surrounding him just continued to increase.

"But even if you have the power to be here, that does not mean that I am happy with you." The young man suddenly added, with his killing intent now skyrocketing to the sky like a blown-up building. "You may have outsmarted me before, but now that will not be the case, Alex. I have made the perfect plan against you, so you better start praying for your remaining days!"

"...."

"...."

"Ok, that threat of yours is real nice, but I still do not know your name, so technically speaking, your threat is only half-effective to me." Out of all he things that Alex could say, he chose this as his reply to the now livid young man. "Why don’t you tell me your name first? That way, I might understand who you really are..."

The young man’s movements paused slightly as he heard this reply by Alex, but he quickly recovered, with the smile on his face widening further.

"Hmph, before I arrived here in the Roaming Inn, I was disgusted by the thought of letting you know my name. But now that you have shown how talented you really are, I had decided to give you my name. So listen carefully, for I will only say this once...."

The young man then crossed his arms like a business owner while turning away from Alex, which left his back exposed to him. Once he did this, the young man did not turn around to face Alex. The young man just stayed still on his place, with his killing intent still roiling in the air like a viscous gas.

"...."

This gesture could symbolize a lot of things, but in this case, this gesture is one that is clearly symbolizing the sheer disdain coming from the young man himself.

"My name is the Grandmaster, and I am the one who will bring your end, Alex." The young man said, with his name ’Grandmaster’ now being imprinted directly on everyone’s minds. "Your plan to raid and conquer the Celestial Carp Continent may be a success, but starting today, all of your victories will be null against me!"

"Oh really?"

"Yes, I mean that. Why do you sound doubtful, Alex? Do you think I can’t do anything to you?" The Grandmaster, as if he was irked by Alex’s comment, seemed to almost blow up as he faced him. "Do you think that even with the laws of the Custodian protecting you from death, I can’t make you suffer?"

"Well-"

"Well guess what, Alex. The Custodian might have prevented any act of killing today, but she did not prevent us from severely beating up anyone. That means that I am free to do anything to you, as long as I do not kill you!"

"Boom!"

Before anyone could digest the threat that the Grandmaster has said, he suddenly raised his hands, forming a sealing pattern with his fingers.

Lines of powers slowly appeared from the Grandmaster’s arms as he did this, briefly illuminating the area around him.

As these lines of power converged together, Alex’s breathing began to hasten as he and his companions started to feel suffocated and suppressed on their spots. They found it hard to breathe, as if there was something preventing them to breath freely.

Even their bodily functions were affected too, making it harder for them to even observe their surroundings properly.

"Ha... ha... ha..."

Aside from their breathing and other vital bodily functions, the powers inside Alex, Queen Mother and Professor Frances’ body were all seemingly suppressed too, with the activation and circulation of their powers now slowed down into that of a snail’s pace.

"Ha..."

These changes naturally had the trio perked up, as they knew that someone is trying to make a move on them.

As for how that person was, it was obviously the Grandmaster himself!

"Since I can’t kill you all, then I will just have to make you three suffer. So be happy, you little maggots. You have the honor of experiencing my Sealing Magic, something that I did not use since I arrived here!" Now, just kneel there and accept your fate!"
