John suddenly roared, “Fletcher!”“M-Mr. John, I… I’m here…” An old butler appeared in trepidation.“Have you found out who Master Collins really is?” John stared at him with red eyes.Fletcher quivered and fell kneeling to the floor. “I… I've failed… you. I still... haven’t… figured out who he really is…”“Why don’t you just die if you know you’re useless?”John smiled pervertedly as he picked up a stool and bashed him up crazily.Fletcher screamed. His voice gradually turned into a whimper, and he was eventually beaten to death.Everyone was afraid of being the next Fletcher.That was when John’s phone rang.He picked it up for a few seconds, and an eerie laugh suddenly erupted from his throat.“Hahaha! The Harrigans are saved. The Supreme Elder’s first disciple is on his way over. He'll arrive tomorrow afternoon!“He said we can begin making plans. Once he arrives, he'll destroy the Coopers and kill Master Collins. After that, we’ll take over South River City!”His words
“As for the wizardry school, ordinary people won’t usually be aware of them. They're the ones who have true abilities.”Chase explained things in detail, “The wizardry school is split further into five branches—Mountain, Medical, Life, Face, and Fortune. This is commonly known as the Five Techniques of Metaphysics. What you know as martial arts medical skills, divination, fortune telling, and location analysis techniques originated from these five branches."All three of them were astonished at this. They had learned something new from Chase’s explanation. It never occurred to them that there was so much knowledge hidden in this concept.Sam asked, “There's something I don’t understand, Sir. Why won’t those in the wizardry school show themselves?”“This question is a little too complicated to answer. You might not understand it even if I explained it to you.”Chase elaborated casually, “Let me put it this way. They can’t show themselves so blatantly to the world because this world
After William left with Bianca, Chase, and Sam went to the homestay where they had settled in Julia.“Watch the door. Don’t allow anyone to enter without my permission.”Chase gave Sam the order before stepping into the homestay.Julia had been staying inside her room. She was still afraid of lights, especially fire.She cowered in a corner the moment Chase turned on the lights. She hid under the covers and trembled as she looked at Chase.Her condition had not improved since the last time he saw her, but her clothes were cleaner than before, and she looked healthier as well.“Don’t be afraid, Miss Julia. It’s me, Little Rocky. I’m here to treat you.”Chase wanted to go to her but was afraid he would scare her. He comforted her patiently.It took some difficulty, but he managed to calm her down. Chase stopped hesitating as he took out the Clear-Headed Talisman and gently flung it at her.At the same time, Chase gently chanted, “Appear!” A strange sight appeared when he said
“Don’t worry, Miss Julia. The Harrigans are about to meet their doom. I won’t let anyone who was involved with the orphanage’s fire get away with it,” Chase promised.Julia choked back a sob and said, “You’re a good boy. I know that you’re quite capable, but you still need to take good care of yourself. You have a long life ahead of you, and you shouldn’t let revenge blind you.“Moreover, I believe your Grandpa Gideon and the others would never want you to endanger yourself.”“Don’t worry, Miss Julia. I can do it.”Chase crouched in front of her as he tried to be on level with her height. He asked again, “By the way, Miss Julia, I found out that my sisters are still alive. Have you any idea where they are?”“I… I have no idea either.” The look in Julia’s eyes turned dim. She shook her head and said, “You were sent away after that fire. The girls and I thought we were dead for sure.“Your Grandpa Gideon reminded us of the dried-up well in the garden at the crucial moment and got u
Inside Room 802 of the Emgrand Hotel, Bernard was excited to see Quinn appear as promised. “I thought you wouldn’t come, Quinn.”“Don’t read too much into this. I’m just here to discuss the medical prescription with you,” Quinn replied. There was a tinge of sorrow deep inside her eyes.Since she had witnessed how intimate Chase and Bianca were, she had been gloomy and feeling sad about it.Quinn was wearing conservative casual clothes. Even then, her clothes were unable to hide her slender figure.“I know, I know.”Bernard nodded. His gaze kept slithering all over her body as his heart burned with lust.Quinn was voluptuous and had a pretty face. She was a great specimen of a woman.There was also a light scent coming from her as she had just taken a bath. Bernard almost lost control of himself.He quickly looked away and put up a gentlemanly demeanor. “Have a seat, Quinn. We can take our time discussing this.”Bernard got up to open up a bottle of wine after Quinn sat down. “
Quinn’s body quivered slightly, and she later became motionless and stiff.Bernard looked at her carefully before asking, “What's your name?”“My name is Quinn Norris,” Quinn replied in a robotic tone.“What do you call me?” Bernard got excited.“Master.”Bernard burst out laughing agitatedly. “I did it. The Supreme Ultimate Conjugation Talisman Master passed down to me really works!”The Supreme Ultimate Conjugation Talisman was also known as the Trance Talisman. It could control a woman to sleep with a man while she was in a blank state.It was better than drugging a woman as she would obey the person who put the talisman on her even though she was paralyzed mentally. In short, she would do whatever the person told her to.This was why Bernard had made the effort to invite Quinn to the hotel.As for the prescription, it was all just his ploy.After the death of Lucas, all he wanted was to sleep with Quinn. He took a plane out of the country overnight.Bernard looked at Qui
Quinn was shocked while looking at Bernard’s dead body. Her mind went blank.When she snapped out of it, fear filled her face as she said, “Are you crazy, Chase? You killed someone!”“Oh," Chase replied stoically. He acted like this was nothing serious.Quinn was about to cry from the anxiety. “Oh no! I’m going to be ruined because of you.”Chase replied with indifference, “I'm the one who killed him. I’ll take responsibility for it. Don’t worry, you won’t be implicated.”She roared, “Even if you don't implicate me, I don’t want anyone to know that I have a murderer for a husband. I don’t want my company and family to be destroyed because of you.”“What do you want me to do?” Chase frowned and asked.Quinn replied heartlessly, “I want a divorce. The faster the better. I don’t want to be dragged down by you. We’ll go our separate ways from now on. We'll never get involved with each other’s business.”Chase said grimly, “I promised your grandfather to take care of you before he d
“Who… Who are you?” Quinn asked weakly.“I’m the general manager of the Emgrand Hotel, Miss Norris. We apologize for causing you alarm for the fire that broke out in our hotel,” the woman said apologetically.Quinn was taken aback. “Fire?”“Don’t you remember?”The hotel manager tried to jog her memory. “Half an hour ago, a fire broke out in Room 803. It implicated Room 802 and caused your friend to die in the fire. You’re the only one we managed to rescue…”Quinn’s eyes widened. She thought she had heard wrong.Bernard was killed by Chase. How did he end up being burned to death?The general manager said, “If you’re not able to remember anything, you may check the news online, Miss Norris.”That was when Quinn reacted. She took out her phone to check online.She was shocked to read that the internet was filled with news of the Emgrand Hotel being on fire.[The Emgrand Hotel broke out in a mysterious fire tonight at around nine. There was one casualty and one wounded. The wou
Yara initially wanted to explain that she was actually a woman—what did Willow even mean by "closeted romantic feelings"?Then she remembered her current male appearance and that no one except Tack and Chase knew her true gender and bloodline.Of course, she did not know that her private conversation with Chase had been eavesdropped on by Carla. All four masters from the Evil Shadow Sect and Nefarious Deity Sect were fully aware of her female identity.She was about to find another excuse when Chase spoke first, "She's actually a woman."He simply had enough of Willow and Lisa's gazes.To settle this issue once and for all, Chase had to sacrifice his teammate. "She told me she awakened the Phoenix Deity's bloodline. Phoenixes change gender with each rebirth."The phoenix is inherently unified. So the Yara they're seeing now is essentially hermaphroditic. Which gender she displays depends on her mood and will."Chase spilled Yara's secrets completely like beans. Yara stopped pret
Willow and the others were stunned after hearing this."It seems this is indeed the Holy Path, the place where the Light Divine Pearl slumbers."It's also the battlefield between the evil god Klondike and the 12 Primal Treasures, the guardians of this universe," Chase said solemnly, understanding the situation after hearing Yara's explanation and recalling his previous encounter with the Light Divine Pearl."Weren't they fighting in outer space?" Willow asked, confused."This is a battlefield specially created by the 12 Primal Treasures using their spatial abilities. It's not merely a simple planet," Yara explained.It appeared that her awakened memories were substantial.Chase looked at her thoughtfully. "So, there might be other primal treasures and ancient races existing here?""That's right," Yara confirmed."I wish I could be that strong too," Walter said somewhat enviously as he stroked the ancient dragon's bones."Hey, these dragon bones could be used to make weapons, r
Chase scanned the surrounding light pillars for potential dangers while answering Yara."Earth? So you really are a visitor from another world! I knew your background was extraordinary!" Yara exclaimed excitedly.From her perspective, if Chase was a visitor from another realm, his actions made perfect sense."Is your homeland like an immortal realm? Full of powerful beings who can move mountains and part seas?" she asked enthusiastically."Uh," Chase felt a headache coming on. "Actually, most people there are ordinary. Those like me are just a minority. Don't overthink it."After speaking, he made a gesture to silence everyone and pointed upward. The light pillar seemed to reach its end. Their destination was a planet!Chase had seen plenty of footage from astronauts landing. This situation resembled those scenes closely.Even so, how would they land? Would the light pillar deliver them directly to the surface?If the light pillar disappeared in the atmosphere, Chase's martial
Universal Element Priest looked at Clive, who had lost his sense of self, and shook his head helplessly.He used his vital energy to contain the poison and focused his mind. Spiritual light erupted around him as rows of mystical symbols appeared. Spiritual energy gathered instantly, churning like waves.Even the nearby teleportation door was affected."Boundless Heaven and Earth, Borrowing the Power of the Cosmos! Go!" As the command left his mouth, space-time fluctuated and distorted.Clive, who was on the flying vessel, sensed the danger. He suddenly accelerated toward him. His tentacles extended rapidly like an octopus, attempting to grab the gradually blurring Universal Element Priest.At that moment, the teleportation door suddenly burst with light, and countless light pillars radiated outward. They not only enveloped Universal Element Priest and his two companions but also wrapped around almost everyone in the arena below.Universal Element Priest discovered with horror t
Ford had always been a carefree person, but today his expression seemed off!"It was such an important match, and you were in the semifinals. How could there be no recording? Ford, don't try to deceive me!" Wren sternly warned Ford."If you deceive me, you'll get a spank—" Before he could finish, Ford covered his mouth. "Father, stop! I'll show you when we get back!"Compared to being spanked, Ford preferred letting his father see his strange cries during the match."Holy Lord Wren, I have a recording of your son's battle with Chase. Would you like it?" an unfamiliar female voice called out."Who's this troublemaking woman? When everyone else remained silent, why did she have to make herself conspicuous?"If I'm humiliated because of this, you'll regret it later, lady!"Ford's mind churned like tumultuous waves. He turned to see it was Tiana, the Saintess of Emerald Lake Holy Land!"I don't recall ever offending you," he thought bitterly.This was problematic. Though he was
Ford naturally would not mention that the fire-element Thousand Eyes and Flowers technique he had blocked earlier was considerably weaker than the current display.This was the art of conversation."That's not even his ultimate move?" Wren asked in surprise."No. He learned this from watching the Saintess Jade from Modest Lady Holy Land during their battle. He simply replaced it with his own fire-system vital energy and fireball technique," Ford answered with some admiration.It was well known that as the most talented Saint since the founding of Sky Dragon Holy Land, Ford typically mastered most techniques on his first attempt.He essentially memorized secret manuals after just one reading and was considered one of the most intelligent and insightful dragons in history.However, even for top-tier techniques like the Thousand Eyes and Flowers, one would certainly need some practice time to master it.Yet Chase had fought Jade just once, and seen her use the technique only once.
Chase stepped forward, standing in midair, and swept his right hand.The fire-element Thousand Eyes and Flowers technique activated, sending countless extreme fireballs like a rain of bullets toward Fallon and his group.The quantity, speed, and power far exceeded his previous attacks, yet Chase only utilized fifty 50% of his vital energy!Fallon's group furrowed their brows, their bodies tense as if facing a formidable enemy. The ancient Nefarious Spirit Giant Ape manifested behind them, crossing its arms in a defensive posture.Fallon's vital energy circulated at extreme speed, pushing its strength to the limit. His normally transparent vital energy shield became faintly visible, like glass emitting light.Carla muttered incantations as wisps of green smoke emerged, with faint green light circling around her body.Seeing this, Tack and Norm understood: Fallon and Carla were not deceiving them but were genuinely using their full strength to counter Chase's attack!The two were
"No way? Chase actually had another trick up his sleeve—he can still win the championship?""Tsk, tsk. Such skill and courage. Now he dares to challenge two city lords and their helpers alone. Those two dressed in red and green were also fighting toe-to-toe with the city lords earlier. This is going to be quite a show!""Damn it, it's like a furnace in here! Everyone, spread out unless you want to become roasted pigs!""Who are you calling a pig?""That's just a metaphor!"...Chase was shocked by his own attack. Yes, he surprised himself.He had only used 50% of his vital energy, intending to intimidate his opponent while testing the strength of this top villain from the nether realm.To others, the wall of fire appeared to rise gradually. In his perception, however, it manifested instantly.The gradual rise was because the power was too great, expanding bit by bit to accommodate more fire eyes.His control seemed fine, so why did it feel like he could not stop?After exami
Carla thought Chase must have an amazing sense of understanding and enlightenment. He was able to see through the essence of the opponent's technique every time he fought and used it. He was a genius.Facing Chase directly made her understand what real intimidation felt like.She was also Chase's target as she was standing next to Fallon.As the top mind and soul cultivator in the nether realm, Carla knew that there was no escape from Chase.Chase would immediately react the moment she made a slight movement.Carla had never felt such pressure before.It was terrifying.Fallon's heart sank when facing Chase.He had been careless.Chase was harder to deal with than Carla, Tack, and Norm combined.Fallon knew how powerful Carla was.The Evil Shadow Sect was good at using the mind and soul in fights, but they were not powerful enough when it came to direct attacks. The Nefarious Deity Sect was good at body refinement, corpse refining, and using Nefarious Deity to strengthen the
