"What do you mean by replacing Babbit?" Felix asked with a frown. A smile slowly appeared on Edmund's face. At that moment, Edmund, who had been meditating on the stone bed, suddenly opened his eyes and got up. As he stepped down from the stone bed, under Felix's watchful gaze, Edmund's appearance began to change. In just a few seconds, he transformed into the likeness of Babbit Reyne. "What? This is…" At this moment, Babbit spoke, "Felix, why do you not kneel when you see your patriarch?" Felix looked at Edmund in shock. Suddenly, Edmund threw his head back and laughed, saying, "Hahaha, Felix, as long as you follow my instructions, the two of us can surely kill Babbit. When that time comes, we will be the true controllers of the Reyne family. From now on, you, Felix, will be second only to one person, while I, Edmund, will still be a powerless lord who fears the Eight Great Families. Hehe, who in the world would know about this change?" In an instant, Felix finally understoo
Felix stood up from the ground, clutching his chest and enduring the pain. Watching Edmund's back, he was deeply shocked. Felix had initially believed that although Edmund had some power, he was at a relative disadvantage by opposing the Eight Great Families. In such a situation, Edmund would certainly appreciate every cultivator willing to join him and work for him. Felix had chosen to join Edmund at this time to gain his favor, thinking that by having a dual identity, he could benefit from both sides. However, Edmund has finally revealed his ambition. Felix, who was very skilled at understanding others' thoughts, had not seen through Edmund in the past. Now, he finally realized that Edmund's kindness was just an illusion. He merely saw Felix as a pawn. Tonight, if Felix completed Edmund's wish by using a trick to remove Babbit, the head of the Reyne family, then from now on, with Edmund in control of the Reyne family, he would have no more enemies in Buck Town. By then, Felix
At this moment, Felix deliberately coughed twice, looked at Babbit, and said, "Lord Babbit, please don't doubt me. To get the Dark Mask, I exerted tremendous effort and almost died in the City Lord's mansion. Now that I have brought back the Dark Mask, I hope you will be pleased." Babbit was secretly pleased but still maintained a stern expression and frowned, saying, "You are injured?" "Yes, sir. I was discovered by Edmund, who injured me. Just now… cough…" "Felix, stop talking and get up quickly." Babbit helped Felix up from the ground, then took the Dark Mask from Felix's hands. After examining it closely, Babbit felt the powerful energy emanating from the Dark Mask and was secretly delighted. He said, "This is indeed Lord Edmund's Dark Mask. It's rumored that this Dark Mask contains eight thousand years of Edmund's cultivation." "Whoever obtains this Dark Mask can gain eight thousand years of Edmund's cultivation." Felix cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, sir. N
However, after waiting for a few seconds, the Soul Devouring Curse on the Dark Mask did not activate. On the contrary, a powerful energy was continuously being injected into Felix's body. Instinctively releasing the energy, Felix said, "Sir, it seems Edmund did not place a Soul Devouring Curse on this Dark Mask." "Good job. Now, take off the mask and give it to me." "Yes, sir." Felix took off the mask and handed it to Babbit, secretly breathing a sigh of relief. He was also puzzled, as Edmund had claimed to have cast a Soul Devouring Curse on the Dark Mask. Why, then, was there no reaction when he wore it? Babbit took the Dark Mask, hesitated for two seconds, and said to Felix, "Felix, you have nothing else to do here for now. Go and tend to your wounds." "Yes, sir." Felix turned and left. After the chamber returned to silence, Babbit looked at the Dark Mask in his hand, a smile forming on his lips. He said, "Lord Edmund, we've been battling each other openly and secretly f
"Yes." "Very well, Felix. In recognition of your service, I will tell you that this Dark Mask has been imbued with my most powerful curse. Now, the Dark Mask contains over ten thousand years of cultivation. Unless one is a curse practitioner, they will be devoured and unable to obtain any of the cultivation within." As he spoke, Edmund pulled out a handkerchief and began wiping the Dark Mask, continuing, "People are always insatiably greedy, and most do not realize that their greed is what leads to their downfall. It is precisely because of their greed that we are where we are today. I have mimicked Babbit for a thousand years, and only now have I taken his identity and position. Remember, Felix, I do not kill those who are of use to me. Serve me well in the future, or I will kill you." "I understand, Lord Edmund." Felix looked at Edmund, shocked to his core. He thought to himself, 'To have mimicked Babbit for a thousand years and only now taken action. Such amazing patience!'
"Wilbur, there's something I want to remind you of." "What?" Wilbur was taken aback, unsure of what to say, feeling like he'd been hit hard. Augheimer patted Wilbur on the shoulder and said, "Don't forget, this is a city of slaughter. In Buck Town, fighting is unavoidable. You saved Felix by chance when he was seriously injured and needed to rely on you. But now, he has gained the identity and status he desired. Felix can now roam freely in Buck Town with his new status. No one will dare touch him. So, the Buck Town in his eyes is very different from the one in ours." Augheimer took a deep breath, then continued, "Wilbur, accept reality. When I first arrived in Buck Town, I thought I was strong too. But after experiencing many things here, I realized that in this place, I am just an ordinary cultivator." Hearing this, Wilbur felt a pang of sadness and his face flushed. He had spent fifteen hundred years with Felix in the mirror dimension and believed that Felix would never leav
The Spirit Spring Wine was brewed using water from the Spirit Spring, a unique spring water containing a peculiar energy aura. There was only one such spring in all of Buck, located within the Black Tortoise Lake area. Five thousand years ago, it was handed over to the current tavern owner, Leonard, for exclusive use in brewing Spirit Spring Wine. This wine was sold for one gold coin per jug, and only the heads of the four major families had the purchasing rights. No one else could even think about getting their hands on it. Despite this exclusivity, due to the wine's sweet taste and pure flavor, about a thousand jugs were needed annually. Hearing that the head of the Reyne family, Babbit Reyne, wanted to drink Spirit Spring Wine, Leonard nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, there is some left." Felix asked, "How much is left?" "There are one hundred jugs left." "I want all of them. Prepare them immediately and send them to the Reyne family." "Uhm… Does Lord Babbit need o
Hearing this, Felix was stunned for a moment, then he bowed slightly and said, "Yes, I have also heard about this matter." Babbit frowned and said, "Who do you think he saved? Someone who can give out three hundred gold coins so generously isn't an ordinary cultivator in Buck Town." Felix hesitated for a moment, then suddenly knelt before Babbit with a thud and said emotionally, "My Lord, actually, that person's name is Wilbur. The one he saved was me, and those three hundred gold coins were left by me for him. I hoped they would improve his life. With those coins, he could even leave Buck Town. But I didn't expect him to fall so low. Master, I have an unreasonable request, and I hope you will grant it." After speaking, Felix kept his head bowed low to the ground. Babbit glanced at Felix. With his means, he had already investigated this matter thoroughly, initially intending to use it as a reason to get rid of Felix. However, he did not expect Felix to confess voluntarily. Now,
