Chapter 2046
Alex froze for a moment, but he soon realized that he didn’t know the person in front of him.
“I am. Why are you looking for me?”
The man rushed over and kneeled in front of him, crying bitterly, “Master Alex, please save my lady!”
Alex blinked. “Who is this lady of yours?”
“My lady’s name is Holly Yates,” the man replied.
“What?! What happened to Holly?”
“What happened?”
Brittany and everyone else spoke up one after another. Holly had accepted Brittany as her godmother, and the little girl was obedient and sensible and was loved by everyone. So when they heard the middle-aged man’s words, they exclaimed in surprise and looked at him anxiously.
“S-She was attacked by someone within the same department,” the man said. “And now… she’s at death’s door.”
Alex hurriedly said, “Where is she now?”
“In a private house nearby.”

Soon, Alex went to see Holly.
Previously when he had rushed over to the Flying Eagles Academy, his primary purpose was to find her. However, Flying Eagles had been completely taken control of at that time, and he didn’t see a single student while he was there. He heard from Aesop that it had already been empty when the demon tribes took over the academy.
So, Holly shouldn’t have encountered any problems then.
But now, looking at her…
Tears almost fell from his eyes.
She was lying quietly on a broken bed, her face was deathly pale, and her hair was greyed. The blood essence on her face had deteriorated, and her cultivation was… irrevocably lost. Blood still stained her body, and she was severely injured.
“Who did this?!”
“Holly, Holly…”
Maya held Holly’s hand in her hand. The two of them had a good relationship, and they were the first to get along when they started the business in Michigan. Later, Holly discovered that Maya’s body scent had a magical effect and would often sleep in the same room as Maya.
The man replied, “It was Sydney Yeager.”
Alex checked Holly closely, and once he was done, his body trembled at the rage he felt, and bloodlust leaked from his body like spiritual essence. “Holly’s spiritual roots have been dug out.”
“What?!”
Everyone present basically was involved in cultivation and naturally knew what spiritual roots were.
It was the basis of cultivation.
If there were no spiritual roots, it was the same as building a house without foundation. It meant it was useless.
Moreover, it would also cause the body infinite harm. So it was likely that her entire life was ruined.
Brittany angrily said, “Who is this Sydney Yeager? How could she be so vicious?”
The middle-aged man replied, “She’s the granddaughter of the Supreme Elder of the Mountain Warriors. She’s also ranked first in Flying Eagles combat strength leaderboard. I don’t know how Sydney managed to find my lady during the catastrophe that hit the Flying Eagles Academy and saw that my lady had extraordinary spiritual roots, and then she forcefully took it. Once she dug it out, she used it on her own body! Not long after, there was a drastic change in the Mountain Warriors. The Supreme Elder colluded with outsiders to launch a sneak attack on the sect master, and as a result…”
“Your sect master, isn’t he Holly’s grandfather?” Waltz asked.
“It’s my lady’s father,” the man replied.
“Uh…”
Everyone was startled.
No one expected Holly to come from such a significant background, and she turned out to be the daughter of the sect master.
Moreover, the Mountain Warrior Sect was also an excellent cultivation sect within the American territory. The Mountain Warrior Sect, Yukon Sect, East Flower Sect, Hidden Sword Sect were known as the Four Great Cultivation Sanctuaries and had existed since ancient times. They had a long history, and countless great figures had come from them and had left their legacies in the long lines of history.
It could be said that these sects were beyond the world.
Even the emperor of America was not significant in these sects’ eyes and even regarded as an ant-like existence.
The emperor of America, to put bluntly, was still a mortal. The person in the position needed to be changed once every few years, but the masters of the sects in the sanctuary had a lifespan of hundreds of thousands of years. A powerful master could be around easily for thousands of years, and they weren’t the same kind of existence at all. Also, outsiders would never know just how many secrets were hidden behind the doors of these sects.
