INICIAR SESIÓNNo one knew that the old man was not a real person at all, but a magical puppet crafted by Mystic Vale using dark magic, with the purpose of capturing Cloudwalker's soul essence when he let his guard down.
If it had been the uninjured Cloudwalker from before, this trick would have been useless against him, given his mastery of Zen magic. But now, Cloudwalker was at Mystic Vale's mercy.
This was exactly the plan Mystic Vale had in mind. He hadn't expected Cloudwalker to survive such severe injuries, so he decided to gather those who had been present at the scene to visit Cloudwalker, using this as an excuse to get close. After all, Cloudwalker's disciples and followers were still there to protect him, so it wouldn't be easy to succeed.
At this moment, within Cloudwalker's sea of consciousness, everything was in chaos. His soul essence was imprisoned in a purple-black space, and ahead of him, Mystic Vale's shadowy figure was watching him with a mocking smile.

At this moment, the Jenkins family."You brat, you still remember to come back." Ezekiel snorted, "If Javier hadn't told me you arrived in New York, I wouldn't have known."Carl's Adam's apple moved as he let out a low chuckle, "Grandpa, I'm back now, aren't I?"Ezekiel glanced at him, "Alright, alright, I can't control you anymore."Then Ezekiel looked at Amelia, who was sitting nearby, his expression instantly shifting from gloomy to beaming, "Girl, did this brat get into any trouble while out with you? If he did, or if he upset you, you must tell me. I promise I'll make sure he pays for it."Carl looked up, "Grandpa...""Don't talk, I'm chatting with the girl. Go make me a pot of tea." Before Carl could finish, Ezekiel interrupted him, "I want to hear what she has to say. Don't worry, girl, with Grandpa here, you can speak freely."Carl smiled and shook his head, but as he turned and entered the house, his smile faded and his eyes
In Amelia's eyes, most hospitals nowadays have been replaced by machines, making it difficult for true skill and knowledge to be displayed. After all, not everyone has the patience to learn the complexities of traditional medicine and diagnostic methods. Not only do you have to memorize every acupoint, but you also need to know how to prescribe with herbs. In many hospitals, only a few doctors know pulse diagnosis, and some don't even know what pulse diagnosis is.But machines don't require that; they just wait for commands to scan or monitor. In the long run, it's certainly more convenient, but it also creates a sense of dependency."We have learned a lot." The doctors understood the metaphor in Amelia's words, turned around, and left."Amelia." Hamza quickly stood up and walked over. "You've lost weight. Did you not eat well outside? Was the food not to your liking?"Amelia smiled gently. "No, he took good care of me. It's just that I had a lot to deal
Amelia reached out and shook his hand. "No need to be so polite, Orion. It was no trouble at all.""Not at all! I understand how hard this journey has been," Orion said earnestly.Amelia spoke slowly, "Orion, all the artifacts are packed in shockproof cases, without any damage. This is the inventory prepared by Rex stationed in Toronto."Orion took the stack of folders but didn't look through them immediately. Instead, he smiled and said, "Don't rush the handover yet. I know you've had a long trip, so I've arranged a lounge for you, and the welcome banquet is ready...""Orion, I'm really sorry, but we have other matters to attend to," Amelia interrupted him, her tone carrying a hint of gravity. "Let's talk about the banquet later. We need to leave first. The artifacts are in the cabin."Hearing there was something urgent, Orion didn't insist. "Alright, leave this to us. By the way, where are you headed? I can have someone take you directly."
Amelia remained silent. Ever since she discovered those two items on King Street, she had felt a sense of doubt in her heart, though she had dismissed it as mere coincidence at the time and simply brought the two objects with her.Whether it was the items from King Street or the white jade brush washer and seal before her, all of them were gifts she had personally crafted for her senior brothers. Each piece bore a unique mark belonging only to them—there could never be a duplicate. Yet how could these objects have crossed the river of time to appear here, and even be placed together with other relics?Carl's gaze fell on Amelia, his eyes softening as he spoke in a low voice: "These two items, including the ones from King Street, were all made by the same person, and each has a tiny 'Amelia' inscribed on the bottom."Amelia's voice was low and slightly hoarse: "I made them. You witnessed what happened back then."Carl raised his hand and patted her s
"Don't move." Amelia's voice was low and tense, her body rigid. The sharp sound she made didn't quite resemble a normal voice.Carl and Rex stopped in their tracks and slowly turned to look at Amelia.Amelia lowered her head, shining her flashlight onto the step beneath her feet. In the center of the step, there was a tiny indentation, clearly triggering some kind of mechanism. She held her breath and slowly lifted her foot. At that moment, the ceiling above suddenly began to drop loose stones, and the walls on both sides started to press inward, making the entire space instantly claustrophobic."Go!" Amelia grabbed Carl's hand, pulled Rex along, and dashed quickly toward the third floor. Elijah followed closely behind with long strides.The walls behind them pressed in faster and faster, stones kept falling, and Rex, being older and less physically fit, slowed down, nearly getting caught by the closing walls."Elijah, carry Rex!" Amelia glanced ba
