"It's nothing. Just rest well. We'll go back to Bloomington tomorrow.""Okay!"Marilyn agreed, closed the door, and took off her bathrobe, revealing the black nightwear she had underneath.A strange rune on the back of her hand flickered a few times, and her figure vanished, disappearing from the doorway.She reappeared, lying on her bed. She then covered her head with the blanket and made a phone call under the covers. She did that because she suspected there were surveillance cameras in the room."I'm Dark Phoenix. Send a representative from the Zenith Organization to Williams Tower in Haron City immediately."Then, Marilyn hung up the phone and gave herself some treatment under the covers.She had been poisoned when she broke into the other room earlier.Fortunately, the rune on the back of her hand had instantly transported her out of the suite, or she would have ended up like Leonard.Meanwhile, Chad was in the living room, feeling something was off.He recalled meeting
The smiles on those three beauties vanished, but Chad still raised his phone and took a few photos for them, then handed the phone back.The three women made no hostile moves toward Chad throughout the process.Ding!As the elevator door opened and Chad stepped out, the three blonde women collapsed.Several needles were embedded in their bodies.Chad had acted when they asked him to take the photo.Soon after, Maurice's men appeared in the elevator to collect the bodies. They also found several pistols on the women.When Chad got into the car arranged by Maurice, his phone rang.Maurice said, "We just received news that many assassins have arrived in Haron City. The three women in the elevator were sent to confirm your location."Without hesitation, Chad replied, "Don't worry about it. Let them follow me!"Chad intended to eliminate them all in the underground passages, no matter how many people came.The car soon arrived at Cultural Street. Chad got out at the entrance of t
The Weasel family's shamans were especially formidable, being the most difficult to deal with. The weasels were vengeful creatures.Even if only one were angered, a pack of them would seek revenge.Weasels also fed on snakes. In northeastern Hacniane, they were known as the animals that swallowed dragons."Today, the three of us from the Weasel family will deal with him personally. We just hope he'll show up!""After killing that guy, it'll be a feast for our guardian immortals!"Chad stopped and listened carefully. Apart from Willow, he could hear at least three other people inside.So, Chad moved cautiously, bypassing the last bend, and saw the cave where the Lord Second resided.Three lean men stood outside the cave, each with a white-haired weasel perched on their shoulders. At a glance, they all seemed to be wearing white fur collars.At that moment, Lord Second's body had returned to its original size, but he had not yet woken up.According to Chad's estimation, even wit
Bang! Bang!Amidst the loud noises, Chad found himself unexpectedly overwhelmed by Imperious' onslaught.Despite being covered in dragon scales all over his body, with horns sprouting from his head, Chad could only defensively block against Imperious' attacks.Swish!Imperious's foot struck Chad's abdomen, sending him flying.Cough! Cough! Cough!Chad coughed violently, spitting out blood in large gulps. It felt like his internal organs were being turned upside down, causing excruciating pain!At that moment, he was embedded in the earthen wall, unable to move. Furthermore, whenever Chad tried to use the Frost Peony, Imperious promptly interrupted him.For a moment, the Frost Peony became nothing more than decoration, completely unable to launch an attack!When Chad tried to command the Frost Peony to transform into a humanoid form, he could not even sense its presence.It was then that Chad saw Imperious enveloped in a fiery brilliance. A peculiar immortal crown appeared abo
Imperious looked at Chad sincerely, then licked his finger. The next moment, his eyes widened."Damn! Are you kidding me? It really is the rebirth elixir!"Chad suddenly felt uneasy. Imperious was looking at him, saliva dripping from his mouth.Just as Imperious was about to open his mouth wide, Chad shouted, "I do have the rebirth elixir. If you trust me, come with me. If I can't produce it, you can eat me."Slap!Unexpectedly, Imperious slapped Chad's head, cursing angrily."Trust you? Screw that! I don't want to eat you! You have a body that achieved Immortal Unity! I can exchange your body for many amazing things!"As he spoke, he waved the Frost Peony in his hand, showing how much he cherished it."You brat! You actually have such an amazing artifact. You're really lucky!"Chad did not argue back or dare to speak out of turn. He just repeatedly said, "Come with me to Bloomington. If I can't produce the rebirth elixir, you can do whatever you want with me. Besides... With
Chad was in a sorry state; his whole body ached as if it had been dismantled.He sat on the ground, resting for a long time before finally standing up."You're quite something, kid. I've beaten you to a pulp, yet not a single bone is broken. Impressive!" Imperious reverted to his old man appearance, hands behind his back, and watched Chad with interest."Your strength is impressive, but..."Chad tried to move his limbs and wanted to retort, but his words froze halfway. Recalling the scenes of being passively beaten before, Chad noticed something unusual.Among the earthbound immortals, the Mystics had many branches of power, including the Grand Golden Immortals, who specialized in strength.It was said that when the Grand Golden Immortals reached mastery, they possessed tremendous strength to move mountains.A Grand Golden Immortal had just trampled him, yet he could still stand up, which was indeed abnormal.Seeing Chad's puzzled and doubtful expression, Imperious' interest in
Imperious heard that and quickly said, "Hey, you said it yourself, so now I'll stick to you and not leave!"Chad nodded with a smile. "Of course!"Chad wanted a monster trained to the level of a Grand Golden Immortal by his side.Imperious asked, "Can I go anywhere here?"Chad made a welcoming gesture. "Please do."Imperious could not believe his ears. With a cheer, he rushed toward the depths of the Mystic Archive world.Two hours later, Imperious's primordial spirit finally emerged from Chad's Mystic Archive.Shortly after, Chad also emerged from his meditative state, moving his body to recover a bit."That was exhilarating! I've never seen such a massive Mystic Archive! You, kid, are a treasure. I'm sticking with you," Imperious exclaimed.Chad smiled but remained silent, preparing to return the way they came.Before leaving, he took a final look at Lord Second and Lord Fifth. They seemed to have entered a deep sleep, losing their connection to the outside world.Imperiou
"If I wanted to hog everything, that kid would already be dead. I suggest you leave now and don't seek your own death!" Imperious said with a smile, but the young man felt a trace of fear as he stared coldly at the old man.Ding!The elevator doors opened, and they stepped out, transferring to the same elevator. Almost simultaneously, they both pressed the same floor button.Imperious grabbed the young man's hand. "Go back! I'm an old acquaintance of your patriarch, Joira. I don't want to harm his disciples."Hearing the name Joira, the young man shivered and looked at the old man, stunned.The man was regarded as one of the most talented cultivators in the past 50 years. He became a sage at the age of eighteen and has since consolidated his power on Maudare Highland.He would not have resorted to assassination if he did not need an elixir for a breakthrough.However, the small, skinny old man in front of him gave off an overwhelming sense of pressure.Gathering his courage, th
