Hadley's face was pale as he tried to push himself up with both hands on the ground. He stumbled out of the hall.Chase looked around and said calmly, "Everyone, the charity event tonight will continue."The noise in the hall gradually died away after he declared this. Everyone looked at each other and kept silent. There was respect and fear for Chase in their eyes."Are you helping me?" Esther was stunned and asked the question.Chase took a gentle sip of red wine as a glint flashed in his eye.The Starks were a powerful family in Capital City. They had great influence, especially overseas, and they had immense power that could take down any government. They even had military power.If it were not for the Coopers, Chase would have gone ahead to destroy the Starks."Chase Collins…" Hadley soon walked out of the washroom with a dark look on his face.Chase turned to glance at him. "What do you want? Do you still want to fight me?""No, I don't!" Hadley could feel this chest tig
The hall fell into silence, and everyone looked at Chase with shock.Chase was very young. They wondered about his background and how he managed to beat the young successor of the Starks into begging for mercy all on his own."Thank you, Chase…" Esther's pretty face flushed red as she said in a low voice.Chase glanced at her coolly and shook his head to say, "Don't forget what you promised me.""Yes… I won't go back on my promise…" Esther said in a small voice."I hope so." Chase smiled. "I have something to attend to. I'll be leaving first."Chase got up after that and strode toward the stairs."Wait… You…" Esther wanted to call out to Chase but decided against it when she saw the cold view of his back.Chase's attitude hurt her, but there was nothing she could do about it. After all, she could not grasp his temper at all."Hmph! He loves putting up a good act, doesn't he?!" Esther said with clenched teeth.She had to admit that Chase was handsome and full of charm.Howeve
"Just leave this to me." Glenn waved Hadley off after that.Hadley felt relieved and said, "I'll leave this to you, Dad. I'll return to the party now."…It was a peaceful night.Chase left the hotel and drove back to the suburbs."Master." Black Panther lowered its head and asked, "Who's Hadley Stark? How dare he attack you?"Chase ignored it. He did not come to Capital City only to look for spiritual herbs. He had another reason. Chase needed a Breakthrough Pill.The Starks had one, and Chase decided to make a trip there."Where are we going, Master?" Black Panther continued asking.Chase kicked it and replied with indifference, "Get me information on the Coopers.""Huh?" Black Panther was puzzled. "Information on the Coopers?"Chase nodded. "I trust your capabilities.""Umm… Yes, Master!" Black Panther quickly nodded.It was not stupid. It knew how powerful Chase was. If it angered Chase, it might be turned into minced meat!Not long after, two sedans drove to a house
Chase was astonished. "What's going on? Is this because of the Element-Gathering Herb?"Black Panther said in a low voice, "The Element-Gathering Herb has caused a strange occurrence that affected the flow of elements in heaven and earth. This has resulted in the vitality in the sky and earth to become chaotic to the point of this strange occurrence happening." "Are things really that serious?" Chase was shocked."Yes."Black Panther nodded grimly. "I remember reading past records of it. It's taboo for cultivating martial artists to be emotional. If their mental state gets damaged, they'll be unable to achieve a breakthrough if the backlash isn't serious. Serious cases would see the person explode in death." The look on Chase's face changed when he heard this.A damaged mental state would result in one being unable to achieve a breakthrough if the backlash was not serious. Serious cases would see the person explode in death?Chase suddenly realized something.The Starks had lur
Hadley glared viciously at Chase and roared savagely, "You'll be dead when my father arrives!"Not long after Hadley declared this, a look of delight appeared on Hadley's face because he had already seen a Lincoln limousine slowly driving in.The car door opened.Glenn got out of the car and was followed by other core members of the Starks."Dad! Help me!" Hadley quickly shouted.Glenn frowned and looked over. His eyes widened at the sight in front of him.Outside the Starks' mansion was a young man of about 17 or 18. He was standing with one hand behind his back and had a cold look in his eye. He looked like he was waiting for Glenn."Is that the sole survivor of the Collinses?"There was a glint in Glenn's eyes. He observed Chase carefully as his heart beat with fear. It was hard to determine how powerful his cultivation was! "What did you do?!" Glenn looked at the pitiful state his son was in, and his expression darkened."Dad, I want that little bastard killed!"Hadley'
"How insolent!""You're just a country bumpkin! How dare you make trouble at the Starks? You must be tired of living!"Dozens of figures suddenly appeared. They had a strong aura and looked like wolves going for the kill. They were not afraid of death.However, all of them fell and howled from pain the moment they got within a hundred yards of Chase. They coughed up blood and got seriously injured.It only took one palm attack from Chase to take down all his enemies."Huh…"Glenn took a sharp breath. He was terrified.He could tell from this slight release of aura that this young man was a semi-saint!Semi-saints were a rare existence. They were considered royalty in Capital City.Martial artists of such level had specialized missions within the Martial Arts Alliance and enjoyed generous income and benefits. A semi-saint rarely bothered about the common world, much less got involved with gaining profit.However, the young man in front of him was not only ready to murder, bu
"It's too late!"Chase's expression was cold, and he was not about to spare Glenn. He waved his finger through the air and flung it down hard as a gale of wind whistled down along with it."No! Help me!"The Starks ended up in chaos. They were in fear and tried running away with all their might. They were not brave enough to stop Chase.Chase's attack came down heavily like a comet crashing toward the Earth. The destruction was immense, instantly suppressing everything.Glenn's eyes widened as he turned as pale as a sheet. He tried everything in his power to evade the destruction but was too slow.With that, blood splattered everywhere.Chase pointed at him and poked a hole through Glenn's body.Glenn was in shock as he howled painfully. The patriarch of the Starks, one of the wealthiest businessmen of his generation who had swept the world's feet and conquered all, had ended up beaten badly in the garden of his own mansion."Dad!""Grandpa!"A few Starks broke down crying.
"Spare your lives?"Chase glanced at them with disdain. He then said with a cold grunt, "You want me to spare you? Have you thought about how you treated me just moments before?""I…"The Starks were rendered speechless.He was right. They had treated Chase like a slave and insulted him. That was not all, they even threatened to break his leg and feed him to the dogs!"You're nothing but an ignorant group of people." Chase shook his head. He was not bothered to say much to them.He stepped forward. Every step he took created cracks in the ground under his feet. His footprints dug deep into everyone's hearts which were already brimming with fear.He leaped into the air and moved as quickly as lightning. He leaped thousands of feet into the air and landed on a rooftop.Chase punched down hard, and the building collapsed. There was dust everywhere. The dust settled down very soon.Everyone turned to look and saw most of the high-ranking Starks had passed out. As for the pretty ma
Jade gritted her teeth as she gathered all her vital energy, preparing to unleash her ultimate move. It was the very origin of her title—Thousand Eyes and Flowers.Behind her, a vital energy screen spread open like a peacock fanning its tail.The surface was covered with intricate patterns, resembling the eye-like spots on a peacock's feathers.These patterns were not mere decorations. Each one was an ancient rune, capable of releasing a devastating vital energy attack.When Jade unleashed this move, everyone below gasped in shock."No way, this is just a friendly tournament match. Does Jade really need to go this far?""Should we reinforce the arena's defensive array? I'm afraid someone might get caught in the crossfire.""Tsk, tsk, it's been so long since we last saw Jade lose her temper. She's even more stunning when she is angry!""You're such a pervert. If you get hit by that move, there will not even be a corpse left of you!""You don't understand. There are worse ways t
Inside Universal Holy Land, Clive and his master were facing off against the woman suspected to be the Dark Divine Pearl. Meanwhile, at Light Divine City, Chase's fourth round at the tournament's semifinals had already begun.His opponent was Jade, the Saintess of Modest Lady Holy Land, also known as Thousand Eyes and Flowers.It was already extremely rare for two contestants with such a rare same surname to appear in the same tournament. They belonged to different factions yet both were advancing to the final few rounds. Not to mention, if Yara had revealed his phoenix bloodline and inheritance, he might have very well made it to the finals too.The people with the surname Fries were terrifying beyond words!These were the thoughts running through Chase's head for no particular reason. On the other hand, after Jade saluted, she launched her attack without hesitation.Chase, still a bit distracted, was startled by the ferocity of her strike. Such a name and demeanor, paired with
Skyler spoke proudly.Clive kept having the feeling that something did not seem right when he heard Skyler's words."The Holy Path will only open after winning the tournament championship. Only those selected by the champion can enter. I was already eliminated in the second round…" Clive stammered."Won't you become the champion after killing the current champion? Isn't killing Chase Collins what you want to do?" Skyler was frustrated with Clive.Clive finally realized what felt wrong about all of this."You're not Skyler," he said coldly.The Universal Element Priest had also locked down on Skyler with his vital energy at this point. "Reveal yourself. Who are you? What did you do to Skyler?""Oh? How did you know?" Skyler was taken aback but quickly calmed down and asked the question. "What's wrong with my charisma and appearance?"He looked at his body and clothes while asking the questions with curiosity and calmness. This person had admitted to pretending to be Skyler."Fir
"His will is a blur." Clive sounded helpless when he added, "But it's a will that is extremely frightening and evil."He had the right to this opinion as someone who had faced Klondike directly.When Klondike's will was directed at him, Clive could feel unlimited fear and helplessness. Any second more of facing Klondike might make him lose his mind.He could barely take the energy pumped into him. He only managed to get through it because of his guilt for Rania and his desire to live.The thought of begging Klondike was equivalent to seeing death.There was one reason why he was brave enough to talk about Klondike with the Universal Element Priest and Skyler. It was because Klondike was in a stage of being half awake and half asleep. Clive only dared to discuss Klondike when he was asleep.However, speaking of anything that crossed the line would attract his attention, and Clive was not willing to see that happen.The Universal Element Priest and Skyler glanced at each other. The
Both of those disciples thought they could see Skyler lose his temper, but he reacted calmly. The attempts to fan the situation seemed to have failed. Had they lost credibility with Skyler for their misguided actions?They broke into a cold sweat from fear.Those disciples had offended the previous and current Saints. It looked like they had just made life tougher for themselves.They glanced at each other and gave a long sigh.…Inside Universal Element Palace, Clive had placed Rania down on a training mat while he knelt in front of his master, the Universal Element Priest. "Master, please save Rania North. I'm willing to pay any price without regrets!"He spoke with great determination, and there was a grim look on his face."Silly boy." The Universal Element Priest glanced at Clive and sighed."Rania North seems to have been poisoned by a vicious curse and an extraterritorial poison. I can temporarily save her life, but her face…" He shook his head."I'm grateful enough that
The man had just commented to his junior when a sharp sword aura came swishing toward him. It sliced off half of his fringe, and his knees buckled from fear. If the sword had moved an inch further, his skull would have been sliced off."Shut your trap!" Clive's cold voice was heard. It was filled with murder. He had ignored all the criticisms directed at him. However, he pulled his sword out when the man insulted Rania."This is my woman. Insult her again, and I promise you will not see the sun rise tomorrow." Clive turned and continued walking forward without looking back.When he finally vanished from sight, a tall, dashing man came forward with a sword behind his back."Is Clive around?"He asked the two Universal Holy Land disciples who had just seen Clive."Clive just went inside to see the master, Skyler," one of them replied respectfully."Oh. What a coincidence. Um… What happened to your hair?" Skyler suddenly noticed the fringe of the disciple answering him had been slic
"If everything goes as planned, I'll be heading to the Holy Path with Chase Collins." Yara put the small, white bottle into his storage pouch as he spoke in a low voice."There's no hurry for this. I need to make proper arrangements at the Evil Shadow Sect first. Carla secretly set up the Severance Formation at the locations where Norm Weber and I were cultivating in isolation. She wanted to trap us inside and see us dead! I must have my revenge for that."The Holy Path won't happen immediately. You'll make it there eventually. Don't worry too much about it."Tack's eyes turned sharp at the mention of Carla. He and Norm had taken pains to nurture and groom Carla to become the sect master of the Evil Shadow Sect.Yet she showed ingratitude to their efforts by trying to kill them just to be with that rascal, Fallon Locke.Carla was a heartless woman who had no loyalty or filial piety. Such a vicious woman should find it lucky if all they did for revenge was to kill her.Tack saved N
Yara returned to his room at the inn after exiting the tournament venue. He checked the room carefully for any signs of intruders entering his room. He then took out a talisman from his storage pouch and blew gently on it.The talisman started to burn, and gentle smoke slowly billowed in the air. A formation formed instantly, and the entire room was cut off from the outside world.After that, Yara took out a messaging talisman. He touched the image of an old man on it. The next moment, the old man's image projected in front of him. He looked to be about 50 or 60. The old man had a head of white hair and a white beard. He was also wearing a big, red robe as he held a chowrie in his hand."Chase Collins took the bait, master," Yara said respectfully to the old man."Good job. You'll be rewarded well once this is done." The old man whisked his chowrie and laughed. He added, "Get his primordial essence, understand?"He lowered his voice when giving the instruction. When he bent his hea
After all, Chase had to bring Yara along if they were really going to the Holy Path.Chase would not be able to hide it from them then. It was better to be honest with them from the start."What? He needed something from you? Will he come over to see you tonight?" Willow's question had Lisa and Walter exchanging a glance.Chase had no idea how to respond. "What are you thinking, Willow? Sweep those dirty thoughts out of your mind."He berated Willow.Willow realized what she had just said and quickly apologized. "Oh, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask what you meant by him needing your help."Chase sighed. "To put it in a nutshell, Yara has phoenix bloodline and requires the Light Divine Pearl's help to receive the Rising powers of the Phoenix Deity. He knows that I have hope of getting the Light Divine Pearl, which is why he came to me."Willow and Walter were stunned."The Phoenix Deity? Isn't that one of the Five Major Demon Saints who holds the same standing as th
