"What is the aning of Saint Lord Alex’s words?" Selene said coldly.
"Could it be you believe Her Majesty the Empress is absolutely bound to die without a doubt?"
"Correct, I do indeed an exactly that." Alex nodded and smiled faintly.
"No, to be accurate, this is not what I believe, but the fact laid out right before our eyes. Everyone present should be able to see that Her Majesty the Empress’s life hangs by a thread. It won’t be long before her soul returns to the Great Void."
As soon as these words ca out, Cedric, Lara, and the others couldn’t help but feel their hearts tighten.
To nakedly state these universally known truths out loud was often the exact mont one was about to tear off all pretenses.
Could it be that the Saint Lord truly intends to tear off all pretenses with Aurelia today and directly compete for the imperial throne?
"Even if this is the truth, so what?" Selene said coldly.
"Because Her Majesty the Empress is terminally ill, Saint Lord Alex has birthed treasonous intentions and is preparing to defect to another dynasty? Or is it that before Her Majesty the Empress has even passed away, Saint Lord Alex, just like Albert, has already begun coveting her imperial throne?"
As soon as these words ca out, the atmosphere instantly beca fraught with drawn swords and bent bows, the air thick with the heavy scent of gunpowder.
Seeing that both sides revealed unfriendly expressions and were just about to co to blows, Alex smiled faintly. "I led the three great Saint clans here today to purge the rebels."
"If I were to turn my back on my master and commit treason right after quelling the rebellion, wouldn’t I beco the laughingstock of the world, condemned by everyone?"
"The reason I spoke those words is because I have a thod to cure Her Majesty the Empress’s illness."
"What?!" Selene froze slightly, her face full of shock and doubt. Alistair, Malakai, and the others were also stunned.
This isn’t right, is it? They had originally decided to stand on Alex’s side and were already prepared to make a move. How did Alex’s attitude do a complete 180-degree turn the very next second?
Alex clearly saw that after hearing his earlier words, Aurelia’s haggard eyes had revealed a thick gloom and disappointnt.
No, rather than disappointnt, it was more accurate to say she had completely despaired of this world.
And now, hearing his sudden change in tone, her gloomy, beautiful eyes finally revealed a renewed glimr of light.
Alex smiled faintly, unhurriedly summoning a half-gold, half-silver pill from his storage ring.
"This Golden Fragrant Silver Ring Pill was refined using the two most precious dicinal ingredients in the current world, the Golden Fragrant Grass and the Silver Ring Fruit, taking forty-nine days to complete. It can boost the origin, replenish yang energy, and expel sinister yin qi."
"As long as Her Majesty the Empress consus this pill, within three days, she will inevitably be reborn and fully recover to her original state."
Everyone present was completely stunned. Alistair and Malakai had bizarre expressions, starting to not understand Alex’s intentions. Cedric, Lara, and the others similarly wore complicated expressions, having no idea when the Saint Lord had refined such a top-tier pill.
Especially Lara, whose heart was in endless turmoil.
The tier of this Golden Fragrant Silver Ring Pill had already reached the level of an Emperor-tier pill.
Even she had never refined one before. Yet the Saint Lord, without making a sound, could actually already refine this kind of pill. As the Fourth Elder specializing in alchemy, she was truly a bit too incompetent.
Selene looked at the pill in Alex’s hand, her face still full of vigilance. "Why should I believe you?"
Alex smiled faintly, casually tossing it to Selene, shrugging. "Believe it or not, it’s up to you. However, I must remind you: Her Majesty the Empress’s current situation is already in imminent peril, risking having her life claid by the yin qi at any mont."
"If you delay any further, even the Golden Fragrant Silver Ring Pill might not necessarily be able to save her. As one of the Princesses trusted most by Her Majesty the Empress, do not let your suspicion end up costing her life."
With that said, Alex unhurriedly turned around, riding a floating cloud and soaring into the sky. Lara, Cedric, and the others, along with the crowd of Hale family disciples, took the lead in riding floating clouds to follow.
Alistair and Malakai exchanged a glance, then also led the mbers of their respective families to depart together with Alex.
The massive contingent departed the Heavenly Fla Capital in a mighty and majestic manner, looking incomparably spectacular.
Along the way, the young people of the respective families were all discussing today’s battle, every single one incomparably excited and thrilled.
A battle of this caliber could be called a rarity in a century.
For them as cultivators of the new generation, personally experiencing this royal rescue battle at such a young age was an experience more precious than any heavenly material or earthly treasure for their path of cultivation.
Yet Alex, Malakai, and Alistair, soaring side by side at the very front, remained completely silent, the atmosphere heavy.
Blackwood and Sol consistently sized up Alex from the corner of their eyes with suspicion, waiting for him to give an explanation.
Yet Alex consistently stood with his arms crossed, wearing a smile, with fundantally no intention of explaining.
Seeing that the ti to part ways was approaching, Alistair finally lost his composure and asked probingly.
"Brother Alex, that pill you gave Aurelia, was it laced with lethal poison?"
Alex cast a glance at Alistair and shook his head. "No."
Malakai guessed. "Then you gave her a useless waste pill with no dicinal efficacy, preparing to let Aurelia slowly drain to death?"
"No either." Alex still shook his head, smiling faintly.
"That is a Golden Fragrant Silver Ring Pill personally refined by . There is absolutely no problem with its dicinal properties."
The gazes of Alistair and Malakai beca even more complicated. Alistair asked deeply. "Brother Alex, why did you do this?"
"Why shouldn’t I do this?" Alex shrugged and laughed.
"We brought our troops to the Heavenly Fla Capital this ti to rescue the Empress."
