"They don't have shadows. Are they ghosts?""Let's forget about that. Do we shoot or not?!""As if! Go report this!"One of the soldiers sneaked away to file a report.They had been looking at the two young men dressed in robes in front of the Hall of Herbs.As the two soldiers stated, they had no shadows.The light from the Hall of Herbs passed through their bodies without obstruction.They walked past the Hall of Herbs' door as if they were ghosts.The soldier who remained was so stunned that his eyes were about to pop out, and his heart felt like it would jump out of his throat.He wanted to shout but was so nervous that he appeared to have forgotten how to speak.His throat moved but made no noise.In the end, the soldier forgot how to breathe and fainted.He fainted, and a yellow talisman appeared on his back.The night breeze blew through, and the talisman turned to dust.The two young men stood in the shop, facing the backyard.The fat one smiled and said, "Those
Weldon opened the door and walked out of the shop, already seeing the ambulance from a distance.Temple Road was completely empty at that time. Weldon looked at the night sky and said softly, "Two dogs with short memories."As soon as the ambulance arrived, Weldon resumed his simpleton demeanor and led the medics to the backyard.Gisella and Weldon locked the door after the two patients entered the ambulance.After they left, Temple Road became quiet again."Are they gone?""They're gone.""I was so scared. I can't believe there's something like that here.""Yes! It was too surprising."The night breeze blew past the empty Temple Road, and if one listened closely, they could faintly hear it in the wind.The atmosphere at the distant army camp stationed at Cloth Alley was extremely tense.The sergeant held a military communications device and reported on what had occurred on Temple Road.Earlier, a soldier had died unexpectedly, and the medic was conducting an autopsy.Howe
The nurse rushed to change the patient's IV drip, passing through those things without pausing.It was like passing through a hologram of light and shadow, with no discomfort on either side.Chad was stunned, believing it was an illusion, but Gisella also saw it.Could only certain people see those beings?Ghosts were said to be visible only to those who had opened their spiritual eyes.Chad did not believe those were ghosts. For thousands of years, the Mystic arts had refused to acknowledge the existence of ghosts.Mystics believed that after death, people existed as souls or spirits.The Mystics also referred to souls and spirits as spirits.Furthermore, spirits lacked the ability to harm the living and would fade over time.What piqued Chad's interest was why those things were gathered outside Matilda's ward."Miss, breakfast is here! Oh, Mr. Jennings, you've woken up. That's excellent!" Weldon returned with breakfast, grinning foolishly as he walked toward them.The mome
"We got married because fate brought us together. Our divorce was inevitable. We don't need to remarry now. You don't need to be so hard on yourself. How about starting a new life?"When those words reached Matilda's ears, she only heard, "You wanted the divorce in the first place, and now you want to remarry? Are you treating marriage as a joke?"Matilda did not argue. She forced herself to sit up, her face filled with regret as she said, "I realize I was wrong. I'll change—""Matilda, it's over! From the moment I signed the papers, you and I were finished," Chad interrupted Matilda, speaking very solemnly. "From now on, we'll go our separate ways. If we meet again, we'll be friends, but being husband and wife is out of the question."Then, he walked out without hesitation, leaving Matilda in tears as she watched his retreating figure.However, Chad did not go far. He wanted to know why those ghosts were gathering around Matilda."Chad, what are you doing here?" As Chad stepped
Chad was just about to eat breakfast. He eagerly asked, "What happened?""It's hard to explain, and I'm not sure if you can handle it, but I have to try with you." On the other end, there was a lot of noise, including gunshots and Sheldon's voice.The situation had gotten very complicated, and Chad's heart suddenly tightened. "I'm going back to Temple Road. When can you get there?""I don't know. We're rushing back. I'm about to board a plane. Get ready—"Boom!After Sheldon finished speaking, the phone emitted a loud roar as if an explosion had occurred.The call was cut off, and Chad had no idea what had happened. He could not understand how Lawson had ended up in such danger.Why did Sheldon also say he did not know what was going on?"Mr. Jennings, what's wrong?" Weldon asked as he watched Chad leave the ward, carrying a half-eaten bun."I don't know!" Gisella replied, quickly following him. However, given Chad's nervousness, something significant had to have occurred.Af
Ruby walked up to Chad and said solemnly, "Chad Jennings, I'm your guide!"Chad was stunned, and his eyes warmed as he used his Clairvoyant Eye to look at them.He noticed that Ruby was emitting golden light all over her body, and behind her head was a celestial crown that only earthbound immortals would have.Chad grew cautious. He had not expected Ruby to be an earthbound immortal. "You're an Earthbound Immortal. Why did you sever one arm the last time you were on Temple Road?"Ruby smiled slightly. Despite being in her 70s, she exuded grace and charm."You called me an earthbound immortal. As an immortal, I won't argue with mortals. And how do you know I actually severed my arm?"Ruby reached out to Chad with a calm smile and said solemnly, "Chad, I'm your guide, leading you out of the sea of suffering and into the realm of immortals. Are you willing to join me?"Chad frowned and asked sternly, "Are you from the Zenith Organization?"Ruby calmly replied, "Yes! Not only am I
Bang!Chad's strike knocked Ruby out of the Hall of Herbs, sending her flying into the ruins of Temple Road.At that point, Chad's body began to regain a massive amount of internal energy. His power was restored—two immortal crowns appeared behind his head, and his entire body emitted golden light as he emerged from the Hall of Herbs.Bang!Chad descended from the sky and stomped on Ruby's head. The attack was extremely quick and powerful!However, Ruby was still an earthbound immortal and reacted quickly, dodging at the last minute! Chad's foot landed on the ruins, causing a deep pit.Ruby looked at the deep pit in disbelief and exclaimed, "You're not Chad. Chad couldn't have been an earthbound immortal—"Bang!Chad did not want to waste time with Ruby, so he kicked her back to the ground, causing her to sink deeply into the soil. When the dust settled, Chad approached Ruby and said coldly, "It's over!"Ruby looked at Chad in shock, her mouth full of blood, and she could not
Chad struggled to keep his balance as he stumbled back to the Hall of Herbs.From a distance, he could see Cloth Alley and Peak Institute soldiers looking at him in shock.They had clearly witnessed the confrontation between Chad and Ruby.That level of exaggerated speed and force would undoubtedly shock ordinary people.An officer from Cloth Alley approached Chad and saluted him before saying, "I have orders from my superior to ask if you would need an ambulance."Chad's Clairvoyant Eye was still active, and when he noticed the aura emanating from that person, he confirmed that he was a normal person. So Chad replied, "No need; ordinary doctors can't treat my injuries. You may leave!"Chad then closed the door to the Hall of Herbs, leaving the military officer in shock.Meanwhile, in a storage room on the top floor of Bellenuite headquarters, Rube lay on the ground as the masked Dark Phoenix treated her with needles."How can he be an Earthbound Immortal? And not just any ordi
