Chapter 2644: Chapter 2644: Seven Gem Slope
Strangely enough, Hawthorne wasn’t hit by the explosion.
The golden light passed through his body and directly struck the True Lord of Nine Nether.
Bang!
The True Lord of Nine Nether’s body flew backwards and hit the door of the great hall in Three Cities heavily!
The heavy door was extremely sturdy.
Not a single mark of damage.
"Julius Reed..." The True Lord of Nine Nether, leaning against the door, pointed at Julius Reed and said, "Are you trying to kill me to silence me! Don’t worry, I didn’t hear any of your dirty secrets."
"How can you hit someone!" Jessica was anxious at first but immediately realized, "Did you know in advance, this is the way to save him?"
When she saw the golden light pass through Hawthorne’s body without any reaction, Jessica was indeed terrified and didn’t know what to do.
She even thought the True Lord of Nine Nether was about to die.
It was all over!
Unexpectedly, Julius Reed hit the True Lord of Nine Nether directly, saving him in this manner.
"How should I put it." Julius Reed smiled and said, "I was indeed saving you, but the force could have been a bit less. But you know, if you knew some things, I had to give you a little reminder."
"Alright, alright! I get it now, you didn’t make any sound inside just to lure me in and mimic None King’s death scene?" The True Lord of Nine Nether huffed, "Not very friendly of you! Almost got me killed! What if you missed, wouldn’t I be dead now?"
After his words, Jessica understood what he meant.
She looked at Julius Reed again, feeling strange, what’s going on?
Someone this powerful, handling things with such calculation?
And what’s more interesting is that the True Lord of Nine Nether could understand his intentions with just one action from Julius Reed?
It’s too far-fetched.
The True Lord of Nine Nether in my impression wasn’t like this.
People from that era seemed not to be so cunning.
They were all simple and unpretentious.
Even when facing enemies, there weren’t any plots or schemes.
Those were methods used by the lowly.
True Lords or nobles were proud and cared about their reputation.
The Blood Soul Emperor was often ambushed due to physical reasons and was even called a despicable emperor!
It’s hard to imagine that Julius Reed, who was the ruler for thousands of years, would resort to such low tactics!
And even be despicable!
"Don’t be surprised, we have to adapt to this era." The True Lord of Nine Nether wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "People like him are the ones adapting to this era. Survival of the fittest. The world has changed."
Jessica’s eyes were complicated, finding it hard to accept.
But it seemed that the True Lord of Nine Nether had already adapted to this era.
Can such a man still be desired?
After leaving, she had to carefully consider.
Full of lies, but despicable actions.
"That’s right, I just want to know how None King died. As for whether I can save you, don’t worry, I’m definitely confident." Julius Reed looked at the motionless telekinesis, pondering, "It seems like the attack might only be triggered when entering through the door."
If the door was open, there wouldn’t be any danger.
Recalling when he and Jessica entered the shrine, there was no reaction at all.
Instead, None King died the moment he came in.
Then the True Lord of Nine Nether pushed the door and entered.
It seems that opening the door causes a reaction to the telekinesis here.
Previously, nothing could be seen.
Julius Reed had some guesses but couldn’t conclude how None King died.
So, when he was confident, he decisively used the True Lord of Nine Nether to verify.
As it turns out, these telekinetic forces truly didn’t have their consciousness.
In other words, they should have scattered long ago.
Yet someone forcibly used some means to gather them here, turning them into a Guardian God.
This makes the presence of treasures here quite plausible.
And perfectly explains the text on the jade bed.
Julius Reed communicated with Jessica via telekinesis, "Is what you said about Seven Gem Slope true or false? What is going on?"
In Three Cities, Seven Gem Slope.
If Jessica wasn’t lying, those six words would be the most important information.
Now the great hall was confirmed.
Is Seven Gem Slope really a painting?
At this critical juncture, any incorrect information can be fatal.
"Seven Gem Slope is indeed a painting, but that painting doesn’t refer to me; it refers to an extraordinary woman from our family. Her name was Seven Gem Slope." Jessica, realizing the seriousness of the matter, hurriedly explained to Julius Reed.
Previously, to deceive the Blood Soul Emperor, she lied and didn’t tell the truth.
Blurring fact with fiction to protect the secret.
The location is correct, the painting is indeed a painting.
But the painting is not that painting.
This ensured that the Blood Soul Emperor and None King believed the lie, leading them to make the wrong decision and take the wrong things away.
Jessica never thought there would be a death trap within the shrine!
"Let me see... don’t rush." She turned around, scanned the circle, and pointed to a painting on the wall, "This! Seven Gem Slope! The extraordinary woman of our family."
The men were sculptures.
The women were paintings.
It was evident that there were still very unbalanced gender relations internally within the Martial Artist family.
There were many portraits of women on the wall.
But the one Jessica pointed to, of Seven Gem Slope, was black and white.
Besides that, the others were colored.
There were a few more, also black and white.
"Why are these paintings different?"
Julius Reed asked, pointing at those different ones.
To understand these lingering spirits, he had to understand the secrets of Jessica’s family.
"The colored ones are of those who have died. The black and white ones are of the living." Jessica pointed to those at the back: "They all died, but died too suddenly, so no one colored them in."
Sure enough, the ones at the back were all black and white.
The ones at the front were all colored.
"The name Seven Gem Slope is nice, much better than your name Jessica." Julius Reed walked over to take a look, but didn’t find Jessica’s name.
Strange!
"Don’t bother guessing, my name is Sylvester." Jessica said with a somber face, pointing to a painting.
Although the woman in the painting was in black and white, it was still evident that she was naturally beautiful back then.
No wonder she was named Jessica.
Jessica sounds much better than Sylvester.
"Why is Seven Gem Slope black and white?" Julius Reed pointed at the black and white painting.
In the painting, a woman was sitting by a river washing her hair, with half the hair in the water, exuding great charm.
"Her life and death are uncertain, so she can’t be colored." Jessica looked at the painting, shaking her head, "I don’t know much about her. The family seemed to avoid discussing this woman."
"Maybe we should take the painting down and have a look?" The True Lord of Nine Nether suggested, reaching out to take the painting down.
"Don’t touch it!" Julius Reed was about to stop him, but everything happened too quickly.
The True Lord of Nine Nether took the painting down.
Suddenly, the lingering spirits that had been almost motionless seemed to be stimulated!
They instantly started moving rapidly!
