Chapter 306: The lure


    When La heard that, she shook.


    ''What''s he nning now?'' She asked inwardly with worry in her tone.


    ''He should have just listened to me earlier on. We would have avoided all these problems.'' She said worriedly within herself.


    But she still did as he said. She walked towards the crowd watching the whole thing from far away with great astonishment in their eyes. They were like, ''What exactly does this boy want to do?'' This question kept shing in their minds.


    "Girl, where do you th---" The angeredw enforcement agent who started talking to La as she walked back into the crowds with wrath in his tone abruptly ended his speech because of the appearance of something that produced a bright, colorful sh of light.


    What had appeared was a treasure-pce. That was the Azure Beastsman treasure-pce.


    "I believe y''all know what this is? Haha. It''s a treasure-pce that contains the legacy of a supreme expert from one of those beast-inhabited Great Worlds. The owner of this pce was called the ''Nine Lives Sovereign Beast God''. I was actually, extremely fortunate to have easily gotten his pce in a perfect state from a deep ravine in one of my many adventures for cultivation resources. So, if you want it, do everything in your power to get it. Haha" Alex said andughed.


    Immediately he ended his statement, and before any of the senior cultivators could say anything or question him, space unexpectedly warped around his body and he vanished from where he stood, appearing in the pce which then abruptly shot away at a great speed without concealing itself in anotheryer of space.


    Alex''s n was to actually lure all of them towards him. And he was sure that they would follow him because of their immense greed for cultivation resources and treasures. Well, for just about anything that would make them stronger than their peers anyways.


    When the treasure-pce appeared and shot away in the direction of a lush, mountainous valley in this city, the cultivators in the air whose eyes shone brightly with greed quickly teleported after the pce that was moving at a speed that shocked them.


    If not for greed and for the powerful treasures that they felt might have merged with Alex''s body, they could have reasoned a lot of things through. But they couldn''t let Alex escape with the treasures on him, so they quickly went after him. Or it would be their great loss and then be mocked at.


    When the pce appeared, drawing everyone''s full attention, La quickly left the carriage park into the street where she entered a beast-drawn carriage that carried her to a inn that was not too far away. Then immediately she got into the inn and rented a room, she quickly looked into the content of a spatial ring that Alex had secretly passed to her when he crossed her fingers with his.


    In it, she saw a treasure-mask and a treasure-robe. Then without thinking too much about them, she quickly wore them. And when she fully understood how to use the treasure-mask she wore after sending a sliver of her perception into it and sh-reading it directions of use, she quickly activated it.


    Once the treasure-mask became activated and began to glow, it suddenly sank into the skin of her face. Then it drewrge wisps of morphforce energy from the world into it which it utilized to rapidly restructure La''s face.


    Although La was ready for intense pain as it had been said in the directions of use for the treasure-mask, she still experienced a whole lot more of extremely agonizing pain when the skin on her face stretched and twisted, and the bones of her face making snapping sound as they broke about to rearrange, thereby forming a new framework or structure for her face.


    However, the facial alteration didn''t go on for a long time. So, approximately ten secondster which was ''hell'' in one word for La, her face had fully, perfectly transformed. Now, absolutely no one would notice anything amiss with her form. Not even exceedingly powerful cultivation experts from Oververses would have a feeling that something is wrong with her face. And this was because of morphforce energy; an appearance-modification world-energy that''s suitable for a thousand-percent, perfect camouge or disguise, and near-effortless sessful infiltrations into all organizations. But, she looked so much different from how she usually looked which was drop-dead gorgeous. Anyone that saw her at this moment would simply be disgusted by her face. Her face was almost like the face of a horse; it was simply, surprisingly long. Also, she had huge and thick eyebrows.


    Then when she looked at a mirror in the room that she rented to know if the mask truly worked and to see exactly how she looked like, she couldn''t help but scream in horror. Then when she got a grip on her reeling mind because of her face that was seemingly wickedly altered, she couldn''t help but curse Alex in her mind. What sort of exceedingly ugly, retarded form did he program in the treasure-mask for her? But that was least of her worries. Now, she prayed in her heart that Alex would be fine.


    Then when she put on the treasure-robe, she discovered to her amazement that she could use it to turn invisible upon thinking about it. It was a robe that contained voidstones which possessed many massive arrays that could individually produce cloakforce energy (invisibility-energy).


    When she fully activated the items that Alex gave to her, she couldn''t help but wonder where he got them from. Then she greatly hoped in her heart that he would be fine.


    She didn''t go anywhere else, she just remained where she was, waiting for Alex toe meet her as he had promised that he woulde for her soon.


    ***


    Many hourster, the treasure-pce that Alex was in appeared in the valley that Alex had secretly told the entity in control of it to go to.


    Then when Alex appeared in the valley, he immediately stowed away the treasure-pce and awaited the appearances of the furious and greedy high-level cultivation experts that were chasing after the treasure-pce he was in through deployment of their teleportation powers.


    Not long, about twenty minutes after his arrival in this valley, hundreds of frightening pulses of spatial power could suddenly be felt in the area. Then as Alex expected, hundreds of portals manifested in the sky with hundreds of cultivators whose eyes shone with great greed stepping out from within the portals and looking down on him like he was an ant.
