As Enzo passed through the outer hall, he spotted several figures from Chitara that he had only seen in newspapers, including the city's mayor. The fact that they were seated outside suggested the caliber of those seated inside.

Enzo was so nervous he dared not look around too much.

In contrast to Enzo's tense demeanor, Chase sat down calmly, his gaze sweeping casually around the room. He seemed somewhat amused.

Many in the hall saw the two of them but paid them no mind.

After all, members of the four great ancient martial arts families were well-acquainted with each other. Seeing as these two were not familiar faces, they were easily disregarded.

"Madam Huntington has arrived!" the doorman announced in the inner hall.

The next second, a beautiful woman made her entrance.

"Greetings to Madam Huntington!" many in the inner hall greeted in unison.

"Please be seated," the beautiful woman casually said as she headed toward the section where the Huntington family's disciples were se

    "I, Damian Powell, present a 300-year-old polygonum multiflorum root on behalf of the Powell family. We wish Master Chester good health and a long life!" he declared."My goodness, a 300-year-old polygonum multiflorum! Such a treasure is rare in this world, and the Powell family actually brought it out," remarked another attendee."It's said that polygonum multiflorum older than 300 years has life-extending properties. That’s a big move. They're beyond generous!"The crowd exclaimed in amazement. Their curiosity was piqued about whether the Powell family had more in stock, leading many to inquire."The Cook family is willing to pay for a 300-year-old polygonum multiflorum root!""The Powell family is also interested. Name your terms!"...No one in this world would complain about extending one's lifespan. The three family heads got up to speak to the young man."Alright, you two old folks. This matter isn’t urgent at this moment. Discuss it privately later," Chester intervened

    Chester was a second-stage true master, and he already dominated everyone present. Not to mention, he had a brother who was the master of the Martial Arts Alliance. Even if someone was oppressed and resentful, they had to grit their teeth and stay silent.…Chester let out a frustrated grunt, but he remembered that this was his own birthday celebration. If he caused a scene or a bloodbath right there, he would be giving his enemies an advantage. Hence, he suppressed his anger and slowly sat back down."The Huntington family sure is thoughtful. I'll accept it!" Chester replied sharply. Immediately, a maid from the Shelman family came forward to take the gift."Chitara's leader has sent a painting by Albert Bierstadt. He wishes Master Chester as many splendid years as this day!""The prominent Bateman family from Chitara has gifted Master Chester a mansion in the city!"…What followed was a procession of gifts from dignitaries, diluting the previous discomfort as if it had been m

    "Oh my, is that Master Callum of the mysterious Martial Arts Alliance? He's a legendary figure! We finally got to see him in person today.""We did see him in person. But why do I feel like even now, as I'm looking at his face, I might forget it the next moment?""Right? I have the same feeling. It's so magical. No wonder he's only spoken of in legends.""You guys don't understand. It's said that Master Callum has cultivated to an indescribable level of power. No one in Chitara is his match. And his cultivation technique, the Great Void Technique, is truly unmatched. It's natural for us with ordinary martial skills to forget his face."The crowd was amazed."Callum, it’s rare for you to make time to come here today. Let’s catch up later," Chester called out to Callum. He then invited him to take the seat of honor."Today is your birthday. Don't mind me. I'll sit for a while and then leave," Callum replied to his brother with the same tone.Knowing his brother was a staunch culti

    "So it's you, Chase. You truly are courting death to show yourself here. Did you kill Jasper too?" Chester questioned Chase even before Callum had a chance to speak."I would've liked to, but unfortunately, Jasper didn't die by my hand," Chase replied truthfully.The real cause of Jasper's death was his attempt to reveal the truth from years ago, which triggered a deadly restrictive mechanism. It was a form of suicide!"And my son?"The heads of the Cook and Powell families seized the moment to interject.Chase simply turned and gave them a cold look. He did not reply."Chase, today is my birthday celebration. Whatever it is, it can wait until after today," Chester intervened, seeing that Chase did not seem to be lying."I've made myself clear. I came here today to claim lives," Chase responded with a dismissive smile. He sensed that a resolution was unlikely.Callum then took over the conversation. "Enough. Where are the people from your sect? Call them out. You alone are not

    Chase gazed at the approaching Christopher and coldly stated, "You're the one seeking death!"The next moment, he, too, threw a punch to meet Christopher's attack.A blast of air flipped all the tables and chairs in the inner hall, causing everyone to stagger. Before the crowd could stabilize themselves, a series of rapid thuds echoed."It's over! He has fallen into Christopher's dominant intent. His defeat is only a matter of time.""Indeed. To think that South River City's Master Collins could exchange so many punches with Christopher! Even if he dies, his fame will spread far and wide.""That's true. Though dead, he'll be honored. Even the other heads of the four great ancient martial arts families would face defeat when caught in Christopher's dominant intent. It looks like Master Collins doesn't fall below these four great family heads. It's terrifying, indeed!"Contrary to the outside discussions, Christopher, who was in the middle of the battle, felt utterly frustrated.A

    Many people had already stopped watching and were no longer curious about the outcome. Instead, they were expressing their regrets. Whenever Callum took action, it usually signified the end. Not to mention, it was not just Callum this time; Chester had joined in as well. The situation was terrifying.…"You think you can save someone who's fully in my grasp? You don't even consider who you're up against!" Chase glanced at the flying Shelman brothers but did not take them seriously.To others, it seemed like just a moment. Yet for Chase, it was enough time to do a whole lot of things, like deliver a powerful punch in defense.Chase's figure barely shifted on the spot, yet he managed a direct punch to Christopher's face, smashing his entire visage into his brain.At Christopher's final counterpunch, a bluish shadow suddenly appeared beside Chase. Christopher's punch crumbled from his fingertips. From the wrist to the arm, his limb was breaking inch by inch.The blue shadow not

    "Hmph, if I had known this day would come, I should've gone to South River City myself to kill you personally instead of just setting the fire!" Callum said in a glum tone, having realized something at that moment."So it was you!" Chase's intent to kill surged upon hearing this.Even if the perpetrator was from the Shelman family, it did not mean that every member of the family played a role in it. However, Chase had confirmed his suspicion—everyone in the Shelman family was in on it.A chill spread across the venue, turning the sunny noon into a semblance of deception. It was hard to imagine how intense a person's killing intent could be to feel this palpable.Chase recalled the faces of his siblings from Green Hills Orphanage and the kindly, gentle face of the old director. The pain intensified. He realized that he was the cause of the tragedy.In the next moment, his figure flickered, and a member of the Shelman family fell dead beside him. With another flicker, another member

    “One, two, three…”He counted the people surrounding both of them.“Only six are left. Chester Shelman, tell me the truth of what happened back then or this is the end of all the Shelmans!” Chase said coldly. There was a murderous rage about him that convinced everyone Chase would go through with his threat.“Stop dreaming, Chase Collins. You don’t need to worry about it. I'll never reveal the truth even after I’m dead.” True energy began emanating around Chester, and it could be felt around him. This was because of the distinctiveness of the Great Void Technique.“You'll pay with your life for what you did to the Shelmans today, Chase Collins!” Chester’s eyes had turned red like a wild beast from looking at what was supposed to be his birthday party at Shelman Residence. It was now a bloody scene. Both of their true energies vibrated, one light and one dark.However, Chase ignored this.A figure flashed passed, and another person out of the six people on guard fell.“Flint!”

    "Fine! As long as you spare my life, I swear eternal loyalty to you. I'll serve as your slave or servant if that's what it takes!" Luis declared without hesitation. He knew too well that if he refused, death would be his only outcome.Luis was not afraid of dying—he simply could not accept defeat. A lifetime of prestige was ruined in an instant."I, Luis Hawkins, swear to the heavens that I'll submit to Chase Collins and never betray him. Should I break this oath, I vow to meet a terrible end!" Luis raised his hand and spoke in a firm, resolute tone.Chase scoffed, his expression tinged with disdain. He had no intention of believing Luis, and the mockery in his eyes was evident. "Luis, you think I don't see through your games? Do you think I'm unaware that you're merely stalling for time?""H-How do you know that?" Luis narrowed his eyes, a murderous glint flashing within them.Chase chuckled coldly. "Luis, I've dealt with countless schemers and liars. Your petty tricks? They don'

    "You can try," Chase said with a faint smile."You…" Luis was consumed with rage.Suddenly, a pitch-black spear shot out from the side. It was aimed directly at Chase.Chase's expression shifted. With a light tap of his toes on the ground, he leaped back several yards, creating distance between himself and the attacker."I see the Hawkinses really are cunning!" Chase's gaze turned icy. "But since you're so desperate to die, I'll gladly oblige."Sword energy erupted, sharp and unforgiving. A single flash pierced through the head of a guard."Y-You're breaking your word!" Luis roared, his face turning an ashen shade.He had planned to use the family members as leverage against Chase, but instead, Chase had struck preemptively."I won't lay a single finger on your family," Chase said coldly. "But as for the others... Don't blame me for what's about to happen."He stared at Luis, his expression devoid of emotion. "Do you really think I care about the Hawkinses' wealth? To me, your

    Luis was utterly stunned upon hearing Chase's words. He had never imagined Chase's appetite would be so insatiable. He wanted the entirety of the Hawkins family's assets!"Mr. Collins, pardon me for being frank, but if it's money you want, the Hawkinses are not lacking in that. I can offer you five times the amount you desire," Luis said, attempting to negotiate.Chase chuckled. "Mr. Luis, you've misunderstood. Money means nothing to me." He then added while shaking his head, "I'm after more than just your resources. What truly interests me is the Hawkinses' forging techniques. Surrender those, and I might spare your life.""The forging techniques?!" Luis's eyes widened with disbelief. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The Hawkinses' ancestral rules strictly forbid passing those techniques to outsiders. We can only offer you finished products!"The forging techniques were a legacy painstakingly developed by generations of the Hawkinses' forebears. They were the family's lifeblo

    "Young man—no, Mr. Collins—please, let's talk this through. There's no need for violence," Luis pleaded. His dignity as the head of the Hawkins family had all but vanished. The Hawkinses had been a cornerstone of Bactria, influencing its entire power structure. Now, however, Luis saw that everything could change with Chase. He needed to bring Chase to their side no matter what it took.After all, Chase's talent was extraordinary, and his potential for growth was limitless. If the Hawkinses could recruit him, they would gain a formidable martial arts saint. They could elevate their standing to unprecedented heights.Luis said, his face stretching into a fawning smile, "Mr. Collins, on behalf of the Hawkinses, I'm willing to compensate you with any resources you need. I can even offer you an entire mine to aid your refining pursuits.""You think I need your resources?" Chase scoffed, his tone dripping with mockery. "And from the Hawkinses? I doubt you can provide anything worthwhile

    "What… What's happening? Why are these swords flying on their own? Such powerful sword energy! Are these... black iron swords?!"Everyone was stunned, their eyes wide with shock. The event unfolded so abruptly that none of the Hawkinses' guards could react in time.In an instant, countless black iron swords tore through the air, forming a dense cloud that surged toward the guards like a tidal wave."This is bad!" Luis roared in fury. "Block them!"A massive surge of energy exploded from him, forming a white fist aura that smashed into the incoming sword energy."Hmph! A mere insect of a martial arts saint dares to intercept my black iron swords? You people are courting death!" Chase sneered.With a wave of his right hand, the swarm of black iron swords merged into a single massive blade that slashed down toward Luis.A terrifying sword light split the air. Luis hastily countered with a punch, but it was not enough to escape unscathed. A gruesome gash tore across his chest, blood

    "Reckless fools," Chase muttered coldly.He raised his hand and struck out, unleashing a golden palm strike that swept through the air like a tidal wave, enveloping a radius of dozens of feet. Everything in its path was utterly destroyed.The golden imprint descended, shattering every weapon it touched. Bones snapped, flesh tore, and blood splattered in all directions. The power of a single strike crushed everything in its wake."Run for your lives!""No…""Help me!"Agonized screams echoed through the air as bodies fell lifelessly to the ground.Luis' face turned ashen at the sight. He involuntarily stepped back while trembling. "You… Who are you?!"Chase did not bother to respond. Without sparing Luis another glance, he strode toward the Hawkinses' grand estate.It was a sprawling complex of magnificent architecture that exuded opulence and grandeur.Inside, the family members were already alerted to the attack. They had gathered in the main hall, and they whispered nervous

    Despite his exhaustion, Zion pressed on as he was convinced that Chase would eventually falter."Seventh Form!" he roared, unleashing a blade strike that seemed to split the heavens and earth.Yet even as the towering blade descended, Chase remained unmoved. With hands clasped behind his back, he stood still and made no effort to dodge or block the attack.An arm fell to the ground, blood splattering everywhere.Zion's eyes widened in utter disbelief as he stared at the scene. His most powerful strike had severed an arm, but it was not Chase's."T-This can't be… H-How is this possible?" he stammered. Zion looked lost, unable to accept the reality before him."It doesn't make sense! How could you withstand my blade? This defies logic!" he muttered, his voice tinged with confusion and despair."You're just too weak," Chase replied calmly while casting a cold glance at Zion.Flicking his finger, Chase sent a pill into his mouth. The pill dissolved instantly, replenishing his deple

    In an instant, a group of guards rushed forward to help the elderly man to his feet."Sir, are you all right?" they asked with concern.The old man clutched his swollen face while coughing up blood. His complexion was pale, and his breathing had turned weak. "This man's strength is extraordinary—likely at the late stage of the martial arts saint level. We can't defeat him. Summon the Council of Elders immediately!""Yes, sir!" The guards promptly obeyed and withdrew."You little brat! How dare you launch a sneak attack?!" Zion Hawkins, the second son of the Hawkinses, spat with venom as he glared at Chase."Save your words. If you hate me that much, then come at me," Chase replied indifferently.Zion, a mid-stage martial arts saint, stood flanked by more than ten early-stage martial arts saints and another dozen at mid-stage.Such a force could dominate most of Bactria, but to Chase, it was laughable at best."Arrogant fool! Prepare to die!""Raging Blade, Ninth Form!" Zion ro

    Chase strolled toward the massive stone monument, his gaze fixed on the four bold words carved into it. "The Hawkinses' Secret Sect? Perhaps today is the day this name vanishes.""Hmm?" Chase suddenly paused, sensing two powerful auras converging from different directions."As expected of the Secret Sect—full of hidden talents," he muttered while shaking his head lightly. He did not appear surprised; he had already anticipated this scenario before arriving.The ground trembled violently, followed by a chorus of furious roars echoing through the air.From deep within Hawkins Residence, Chase sensed a massive number of disciples pouring out from a grand hall. These disciples, all of them martial arts legends or higher, radiated intense killing intent.Together, they were a formidable force capable of annihilating smaller sects and clans. Yet even their combined might could not withstand a single punch from Chase. Within moments, their resistance crumbled, leaving corpses strewn acro
