The moment Chase's words hung in the air, all the bullets whizzed back the way they came, only faster. In an instant, everyone who had shot at Chase was on the ground, not moving.Jaxon's last thought was pure shock. The master of the Martial Arts Alliance was gone too?That explained why he had not been able to reach him for days.At this moment, only Zara and Enzo were left standing in the chaos. They were frozen with fear at the sight of the carnage."Chase, please let me go! It was all his idea!" Enzo whimpered, pointing at Jaxon's still form. He was begging for mercy. Seeing that Chase did not budge, Enzo scrambled over to Enola. "Enola, my sister, help me! Don't let me die!"Enola just shook off the hand on her leg and turned her back. She had lost all hope in him. Zara, too, finally begged. She ignored the mess on herself as she crawled from among the fallen."Enola, help me out. I'll give you everything I have. I'll even work for you and do anything you say.""Chase, you
Chase did not seem too bothered as he said flatly, "I won't leave. Ask them to step aside and I'll talk to you privately."Jules immediately lost his temper when he heard Chase's answer."How dare you? Chase, what do you think human life is? Talk? Even if the king himself were to come today, you'd have to come with us.""How troublesome." Chase sighed as he took out a purple token and tossed it to Jules.Jules caught it and took a look. Though the intricately carved nine dragons were lifelike, he had no idea what it was. Jules was still puzzled after examining it for a while."What's this?" Jules asked in confusion."You don't recognize it? That just means your rank is too low. How about this?" Chase replied, pulling out a golden item and tossing it over. It was the King Defeating Golden Mace.Chase casually tossed the King Defeating Golden Mace, which was capable of taking down corrupt officials and generals, to Jules. Jules looked equally confused. Chase realized Jules did not
"Besides, the opportunities you've encountered are things others might not come across in a lifetime. Just my space alone in the Dragon Vein Secret Realm is far superior to Martial Soul Hall's secret realms. Don't ignore your good blessings. And don't forget how you can enter and exit this realm at will. "Do you know how many people will come out of their coffins looking for you if word of this gets out?" Caspian was jealous. The thought of Chase casually carrying around a secret realm he had spent his life pursuing filled him with fury. Caspian fell silent after saying that."Get in here and start cultivating once you're done!" His angry voice made Chase know he was in trouble.Previously, when Chase absorbed the fire crystal to break through, his true energy surged uncontrollably. It was Caspian who had intervened to guide him through the crisis, preventing him from exploding and dying.Several days later, Caspian helped Chase strengthen his cultivation, acting as his sparring p
"South River City? Our film crew is going there in a few days. Let's go together. And Chase's from South River City, so he can lead the way and be our guide." Enola immediately suggested going together when she heard that Olivia planned to go to South River City.Olivia looked at Chase.Chase recalled Ira's arrangement and remembered that the next filming location was indeed in South River City, so he instantly added, "Stay for a couple of days. We can all go to South River City together, and I can show you around."Olivia finally agreed to stay.After dinner, Chase had a sudden thought and vanished. He was in the Dragon Vein Secret Realm when he reappeared."Collins, you're finally here." A voice rang out as a fist came flying toward him. Without a second thought, Chase knew that it could only be Caspian.Chase immediately unleashed all his might to defend himself. He was gravely injured with one punch and defeated with two. His body disappeared into dust."Why are you so angry
Someone then saw the Kingpin of South River City, Sam, waiting in the front row."Gosh, isn't that the Kingpin of South River City? Why is he here? For someone like him to be waiting here, just who is the person he's waiting for?"...Chase, Olivia, and Enola followed Ira out of the airport, immediately attracting a swarm of reporters who eagerly took photos of them."Look, Mr. Perkins did bring the entire crew to South River City for filming! I thought it was fake news when I saw it online. I just came to the airport to try my luck. I didn't expect it to be true!""If Mr. Perkins is here, then Enola must be too. Enola! Enola!""Chase must be here as well. Chase! Chase!" When there were reporters, there were fans. The place was instantly chaotic with Enola's male fans and Chase's female fans cheering loudly. Due to Chase's role in Asher's drama last time, Chase's popularity was now on par with top-tier celebrities."Mr. Perkins, you... I told you we should come secretly. You d
"Chief, your friends are my friends. Come on, get in the cars!" With Sam's command, the ten cars slowly started to leave the airport.Chase, Enola, Olivia, Sam, and Ira were in the leading Maybach."Chief, you have no idea that you're now more famous than any celebrity," Sam said enthusiastically while looking at Chase, whom he had not seen in a long time. "When I saw you on TV, I could hardly believe it. But I'd never mistake your face. I've even become the moderator of your fan site."Chase was taken aback. "What do you mean the moderator of my fan site?"Seeing Chase's curiosity, Sam eagerly pulled out his phone, opened a website, and showed it to Chase. "Chief, look. This is a website your fans set up just for you. It's constantly updated with your latest news. I'm a moderator on this site."Chase looked at the numerous posts and photos, instantly feeling speechless. He had a fan site and did not even know it."Sam, it seems you've been very free lately," Chase said lightly
The car ride was silent. With Olivia and Enola both visibly preoccupied with their thoughts, Chase decided it was not the right moment to ask questions.Soon, they arrived at Mount General Cemetery."Master Collins, please wait here for a moment. We need to pay our respects to my master," Olivia said and stepped out of the car with Enola. She even carried a seemingly heavy black handbag."Okay," Chase replied and watched them walk away. He left the car parked on the roadside and secretly followed them.Olivia stopped in front of an unnamed tombstone."Olivia, is this where your master rests?" Enola asked."Yeah, this is the place," Olivia said and set down the black handbag she held. When she opened it, there was a severed head inside—Derrick's head.'Oh, she's using the same methods as me,' Chase thought. He instantly found the scene interesting as he watched from a distance."Master, I brought the one who hurt you." Olivia placed the head and buried it in front of the tombsto
"Olivia, Enola, is it really you?" Julia asked with teary eyes.Chase remembered Julia, so it was no surprise that Olivia and Enola remembered her as well."Miss Julia!" they called out in unison as they rushed forward to embrace her. The three of them hugged each other.They finally reunited after a long while. "Miss Julia, what are you doing here?" Enola asked joyfully."It's all thanks to Chase. Otherwise, I'd probably still be in a mental hospital," Julia explained her recent experiences briefly.Hearing Julia's story, Enola turned to Chase and said, "Thank you, Chase."Julia smiled and said, "You were so sharp as a child. Why haven't you realized it yet? You're treating him like a stranger!"Hearing Julia's remark, Olivia and Enola looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion as they thought, 'Could it be?'"He's your Little Rocky." Julia's voice rang out from the side.The two were instantly stunned, and their mouths hung open in shock."Chase, you're Little
Cyril approached Garth, who was lying on a stretcher on the floor. The crowd opened up a path for him. When he spoke, there was some sort of authority in his tone.Chase smiled and shook his head when he saw this. It looked like Cyril was the key to getting past this level. If things went according to plan, Cyril would soon cross paths with a notorious party. That would be the boss they had to defeat to get past the third level.Cyril opened his yellow bag while the crowd watched curiously. He took out a set of silver needles."That's quite a decent quality!" Willow could not help exclaiming.Medical and poison skills were similar. As a poison expert, Willow had pretty good medical skills. She could tell if a set of silver needles was good quality. Moreover, Cyril's technique was excellent. Willow could not help clapping.The passengers around her jumped at the noise."Why are you clapping when he hasn't even saved the patient?"A sleazy-looking man complained. His breath smelle
"Ms. Worthington, your grandfather has been suffering from this illness for years…"Lourde was not comforted at all by her comfort. He took off his glasses and wiped away his sweat. He began to tremble as he spoke."Don't worry. Everything will be fine. I hired Dr. Clef specially to treat my grandfather. Nothing will happen."The tall Tia Worthington was confident with the doctor's medical skills.Chase started to wonder about this. "If she has gotten a doctor to help her grandfather, why would the staff broadcast for help?"Willow and Walter realized the same thing when they heard Tia. However, they held back their thoughts when Chase said nothing.A young man of about 20 suddenly appeared. He was dressed simply and had a yellow bag on his back."Where's the patient? Let me have a look!" he yelled out.If he had taken time to dress up, he would have looked as handsome as Chase. As for his current situation, anyone who saw him thought that he was ordinary."Where did this bump
"Lastly, if I'm right about this, Carla should be here, but she's stuck on a random level. We'll definitely see her then.""Huh? Really?"Barnabas found this incredulous at first but later thought it made sense. Most importantly, he would not be able to convince the Supreme Elder otherwise even if he did not believe it. All Barnabas could do was agree.Sykes had an even more blunt personality. He would follow whatever the Supreme Elder said.The only thing Sykes cared about was finding a breakthrough to peak martial god.That was when he spoke up, "Should we go in now, Elder Ricky?""Go ahead."Ricky gave an exasperated reply and stepped into the teleportation door.Barnabas and Sykes looked at each other and followed suit.…On the third level of the Dark and Light Mineral Ore, Chase and the others appeared in a plane cabin. He was relieved at first. Chase channeled his vital energy and realized there was also a seal here, but it was a higher quality seal than before. It was
Both sects had always been at loggerheads over resources and power in the past. It was difficult to sort out the feud they had.However, things changed in this generation when Carla led her sect to the top to be on the same level as the Nefarious Deity Sect. She did it all with her own capabilities.The other sects in the nether realm were also hungering for an opportunity to move up their rankings, so both sects came to a temporary compromise.It was because of Carla's feelings for Fallon that the relationship of both sects improved slightly.Dominic and Ricky were elders from the older generation who had handed over their power to the next generation, which was why their fight was not as intense as before. However, they would still taunt and insult each other in every other form possible.When Dominic heard this rumor, he assumed that Fallon had Carla wrapped around his finger.In other words, the Nefarious Deity Sect would soon own the Evil Shadow Sect. He was particularly del
However, the Dark and Light Emeralds' quality was clearly better on the second level than on the first level.If the rumor about this place having nine levels were true, how much more powerful would the Dark and Light Emeralds on the ninth level be?As for Willow and her little gigolo, were they in a hurry to get to the next level because they knew a secret about the ninth level?Ricky's question made him think about this thoroughly.He was impressed.No wonder Ricky was a Supreme Elder. He had such acute observation."Do you mean to say that Willow is in a hurry to get to the ninth level?" he asked the question carefully."Haven't any of you explored the Dark and Light Mineral Ore?" Ricky frowned when he asked this."It's because the Dark and Light Emeralds we found here are only suitable for low-level cultivators, which is why…" Barnabas was embarrassed when he answered."All of you ignored the facts in front of you—the Dark and Light Emeralds, the teleportation doors, and t
Ricky had another thought. It seemed that Willow and the others were in a hurry to get through the teleportation doors. The locations they were sent to were different as well. There was no guarantee that they would arrive at the same place as Willow and the others. Besides that, every level seemed to become increasingly difficult.On the other hand, they had no idea how many levels there were after this. They did not know how many teleportation doors they had to go through.Ricky was hesitant as he looked at the teleportation door that was glowing mysteriously."Why aren't you going inside?" Dominic hurried his old nemesis when Ricky refused to budge."What do Willow and the others want by coming to this place?"Ricky was thoughtful and looked at Dominic to ask the question."What? How would I know? Let's just get this done with. Aren't we here to take the Dark and Light Emerald Lotus? Even if we can't get it, it's also worth it to take his skills and techniques. I'm estimating
"Kill them? No, no, no. I'd never dare do such a thing." The dark sorcerer quickly denied it. He thought that Barnabas and the others were Chase's family and friends when he saw the shocked looks on their faces.No one knew what might happen to him if they mistook him for their murderer."They aren't dead?"Ricky used his consciousness to sense the area. He used his vital energy to pick up the bones and rotting flesh from the ground for closer inspection.The remains looked like they had been there for years. There were also no signs of cultivation on them. Most of the bones and rotting flesh were from the corpses of common men.Dominic inspected them as well and came up with the same conclusion."Tsk… See how much you scared him, Ricky. You shouldn't be so sharp with your questions. Come here, my friend. Tell me where they went."Dominic said to Ricky sarcastically before putting on a friendly face to ask the dark sorcerer.The dark sorcerer looked at the big, plump man and fo
The dark sorcerer began to squirm like a long snake. He had thought the blade would be powerless against him. The dark sorcerer would counter-attack after that and summon the legendary Flame of Destruction to burn those three strange infiltrators to death.Unfortunately, things did not work out the way he planned.Greedy Wolf slashed him at the waist. The dark sorcerer was like a deflated balloon as his black robe fell to the ground. The black silk covering him fell as well, and black smoke wafted from it. His eyes were the only two bright spots left."How is this possible?"The black smoke's form was like the undead they had met before except it was not translucent and had a dark color. It was almost solid.The dark sorcerer's voice was not a sound that was heard in the air. Instead, it reverberated in the minds of Chase and the others.What kind of existence was he?Despite their astonishment, they were not too surprised. Besides the rotting zombie, the undead, the old hag, an
Willow could not let that happen. She forced herself to calm down while pushing it out of her sea of consciousness with great force. She became dizzy and felt like throwing up. It was a similar feeling to getting car sick.She bled from the nose. Her attempt at attacking the tower had caused some damage to her mind and soul."I can't do it. This tower can defend itself against consciousness trying to inspect it," Willow said breathlessly. "Give it up. I'm invincible here!" The dark shadow spoke up once more. Unlike before, his voice seemed to connect directly to everyone's minds.Chase felt a headache. This was only the second level and things had become complicated.He was suddenly impressed by the two people who got to level seven."Stop playing tricks, Dark Sorcerer, or I'll blow up your sorcerer's tower," Chase said grimly. He used the Passive Concentration Technique and the Light Deity Technique to broadcast his words.This dark sorcerer was inclined to use unorthodox te
