Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2316

Velquin was going to escape with Vlad!

That was Lexie's first stunned reaction upon hearing Velquin's words.

Shannon didn't understand why Velquin would help Vlad flee, but she trusted the former.

Without hesitation, she flicked her fingers, and the void ripped open before Velquin to reveal a spatial rift leading to a villa in the alternate world. Velquin only needed to take a step forward to carry Vlad through the rift and exit the domain.

But as the spatial rift split open, a seal struck down and slammed the opening shut.

Caught off guard, Velquin was knocked backward by the power of the divine seal. The Alternate Divine Power was trying to stop them from leaving!

As Shannon was struck with that realization, she didn't hesitate to open another spatial rift behind Velquin. Yet once it opened again, the divine seal followed closely and sealed the portal.

"Fennec" turned toward Shannon. There was a warning threat in its voice as it said, "Our alliance was forged to eliminate Vlad, and now, are you helping him escape?"

Shannon was unfazed. "You've crushed him, and it's just a matter of time before he's destroyed. Since Velquin wants to take him, he must have his reasons."

"Fennec" seemed to bristle with anger. "The phoenix has merged with Vlad for thousands of years. His divine soul has long been corrupted, yet you trust him!"

"If I don't, do you expect me to trust you?" Shannon calmly rebuked as she turned to shoot it a glare.

This was the same Divine Power who'd casually thrown heavenly lightning at her time and again, who'd once colluded with Vlad and plunged the alternate world into endless war.

Plus, Vlad's final taunt might not have been just manipulation.

"Fennec" looked at Shannon with a flash of disappointment after hearing her words. "You may be ten-tailed, but you're foolishly naive. If Vlad did corrupt Velquin, what will you do then?"

Its tone carried a veiled threat as it warned, "This is the only cooperation chance I'm giving you."
