Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System Chapter 547 547: Too Late

anwhile, back at Sword Saint City, the Sword Immortal was standing on the terrace, looking up into the sky. Everyone at his level could feel sothing was changing. His lips curled into a smile. "I don't know what that snake did, but I am sure it has sothing to do with this. But that doesn't matter now—we can continue our work."

In the core region, the guardian mumbled, "It seems this is inevitable. What happens in the future will be out of my hands."

Ti passed on. In the Virtual World, the sound of clashing swords could be heard. MingYue's lips curled into a smile as she fought with KuroSora. "Isn't it enough? Both my daughters already went out of this world, and you're still here holding back," he said in an annoyed tone.

At first, he thought it would be easy to beat MingYue, but the more they clashed, the more he realized it wasn't easy at all. MingYue's power had developed over the ti she spent here. Her foundation had been stabilized and even beca more solid. Her ability was also boosted as she had GM access in the world, allowing her to cheat her way to reach his level.

MingYue raised her sword upward, then slashed downward, creating a crescent moon energy shooting toward KuroSora. The air froze and turned into ice as it passed through.

KuroSora let out a sigh. This wasn't the first ti. He would block it, and then MingYue would try sothing new to ambush him while he did so. With a reluctant sigh, he didn't make any moves, making MingYue frown. "That's it!? You're going to give up? As a senior, don't you feel any sha losing like this?"

KuroSora didn't answer. He wanted to leave. He knew the ti difference between this world and the outside—this one might be faster—but after spending a week here, he was sure at least a whole day had passed outside. Both his daughters had probably left. He still felt worried about the youngest. Despite educating her for a long ti here, she still didn't have any real experience outside.

It was different from this world where no real danger existed. Outside was filled with countless dangers, many outside his control. He still rembered the situation outside before he ca to this world. "There are many things I need to do outside. I have entertained you for days now. I think this should be more than enough."

"An old freak like you—don't say you have no trump card," MingYue called out with an icy tone. But KuroSora just ignored her. There was no reason for him to show it here—there was no benefit. And even if he used it, there was no guarantee he could win. This world was under Alex and MingYue's control.

As he spent ti here, he also tried to learn everything about this world. The more he knew, the more he realized how scary Alex was. He might be stronger now, but Alex's knowledge of souls was on another level. This was one of the benefits Alex gained after losing his emotions because… he did sothing to his soul. This made KuroSora understand souls had so similarity to the human brain. If he did sothing, it was possible to make soone go deaf, blind, or even hallucinate. This realization also gave him answers to so mysterious things in the past of his world. How soone kept saying they hallucinated while all their brain scans showed everything was fine—the answer was simpler than everyone thought. Whatever caused the hallucinations shook them to their soul, literally.

With this knowledge, Alex created formations that interacted directly with the soul while putting their real body into slumber. Of course, normally, Alex couldn't do this to KuroSora as he was stronger, but as KuroSora dropped his soul defense, it was the sa as putting his life in Alex's hands. And his thought wasn't wrong—even if Alex used his progenitor soul power to forcefully break his defenses, Alex still wouldn't have been able to put him into this world. After all, the technique was still in its inception and prototype stage, but its future potential was limitless.

Putting hallucinations over soone's soul ant the one under it wouldn't be able to break free without repercussions. The cold crescent energy finally arrived an inch away from KuroSora's face. Seeing he really wouldn't fight back, MingYue stretched her hand. With a small gesture, the energy disappeared into nothingness—a feat only possible in this world.

Then, with another gesture, the world started to shake. Cracks appeared all over, and then it shattered like a mirror.

Returning to the real world, MingYue's eyes fluttered open. She looked around, finding no one around her. KuroSora had probably already blinked himself away to his daughters or to take care of his own problems. "Alex, where are you?" MingYue mumbled.

Despite her soft tone, she knew her voice would be sent telepathically to Alex's mind.

"MingYue, sothing happened. They have started moving."

MingYue creased her eyebrows together, then focused on her senses to find out where Alex was located. But then she felt sothing else—a monstrous amount of Qi creating turbulence high in the sky. Her body turned into a blur, flying toward the sky and landing beside Alex.

She then found Emily and Luca standing beside Alex. All of them were looking at the sky, where they could see a huge formation flickering like a dying lightbulb. "What happened!? You didn't tell anything about this."

"I don't know much either. I just heard from Mom and Uncle Kane—it seems this is part of the coalition's goal."

Hearing this, MingYue quickly linked everything up. "You an we're too late?"

Alex replied with a heavy sigh, "It seems so. They're already many steps ahead of us. After all, this is a plan made a long ti ago. But it seems my father already has a contingency plan for this."

When MingYue spent her ti in the virtual world, Alex got in contact with her mother and Emily through Vesa. There, he learned what had happened. He then started sending out his forces to the immortals, trying to stop whatever they planned to do. After all, what they planned would turn his own goal in this world upside down.
