It was embarrassing to say this, but Chase had accepted two disciples only to leave them be. All he did was give them a book to study a technique and he disappeared. Now that he was in Camland, he had to check on the results of his disciples’ cultivation.“Where did the two of you go today?” Chase asked casually.“We went to help out your wife, Master,” Iris quickly replied before Finn could say anything.“Huh? My wife? When have I gotten myself a wife?” Chase was bewildered.“Oh, I thought you were in a relationship. She told me she was your wife,” Iris quickly explained when she realized Chase was not joking.“Who are you talking about?” Chase asked.“Miss Kollins,” Iris quickly replied.It was Myra. Chase immediately knew that Myra was being cheeky again.“Oh, it’s her. Alright, enough with the chit-chat. Let me check if you've been lazy while I was away from Camland.” Chase changed the topic.However, it only made his disciples sure that there was something between him and
“What are you doing, Myra? What would you do if someone saw the Lady of Camland act this way?” Chase quickly evaded her.“It doesn’t matter. Can’t the Lady of Camland have someone she likes? Can’t she be a little childish in front of him?” Myra continued her attempt to jump into Chase’s arms without a care in the world.“Is that why you told Iris that you’re my wife?” Chase asked with a smile.Myra stopped what she was doing when she heard this and blushed instantly. After all, it was still too early to let his disciples know her as his wife.“Wow, Myra. I can’t believe that you’re feeling shy,” Chase said cheekily.The blushing Myra suddenly stood up straight unexpectedly. “It’s no big deal to tell her I’m your wife. We… We made a promise years before that we'd marry, Chase. Are you going back on this promise?”It was Chase's turn to be embarrassed. It took him a while to say seriously, “Myra, I’ve found our fourth and fifth sisters.”Myra immediately asked more questions when
Agatha had to open the door. If Chase wanted to get in, no one would dare to stop him. In fact, no one could stop him. Agatha thought that Chase was here to give them trouble.“Are you still the head of the Wallaces?” Chase asked but did not explain anything further.“Sterling has become our head since that day. If you’re looking for revenge, come for me. I can still take whatever punishment you give me,” Agatha said to Chase forcefully. She was in front of all the Wallaces and had to maintain her dignity.“Don’t worry. I’m not here for trouble. Get Sterling Wallace out here. Tell him that I’m here to see him!” Chase saw right through Agatha.She wanted to make a show of how righteous she was to make it difficult for Chase to find a cause to attack her. Chase was not here for revenge and was not bothered to explain anything.It was not long before Sterling hurried out.“Greetings to you, Collins of Basalt.” Even though Sterling was younger than Chase, he still knelt on one knee t
A figure appeared high up in the air above South River City. It was Assassin Five, the assassin who had rushed to South River City from Capital City. Assassin Five sensed the area around him and mumbled.“Damn it. He isn’t here either. How did that brat know I was coming? Can he tell the future?”Assassin Five had come over from Chitara. When he heard the news of Chase’s location, he quickly came to South River City but still could not find Chase.“Huh? There’s bloodshed in the suburbs.”Assassin Five was sensitive to bloodshed due to his occupation. There was a flash, and he appeared at the location where Chase had killed the Eastern Ocean Heavenly Masters.“It’s him!”Assassin Five mumbled and followed Chase’s aura as he headed south.…At the foot of Dragon Tiger Mountain, Joverton, Chase did not see Ira and the others.He called Enola’s phone only to find out that Ira had not decided on the exact shooting location. Chase could only find a hotel to check in at Joverton.Wh
“Are you the renowned director from Bactria, Ira Perkins?” Colin Krause looked up at three of them and pretended to ask. “Yes, that’s me, Father Krause. I’m sure you know why I’m here. I’ll get straight to the point. I’m willing to donate ten million to Clearwater Town to rent this place for three days for filming. I wonder if you’d be able to agree to this?” Ira was very humble in front of Colin.He was already deceived by whatever Colin and the junior priest were doing.After seeing what Chase could do, Ira realized there was a bigger world out there, and he acted very humbly while in the well-known presence of Dragon Tiger Mountain. He was worried about offending anyone powerful.The sight they had witnessed upon entering had overwhelmed Ira, and he suspected that Colin was just as powerful as Chase was.“How dare you think of renting this entire place just because you want to film a movie? You should know that this is the peak tourist season, and we have many visitors coming
Originally, Enola thought this priest possessed a bit of a celestial aura, but now, she saw him as no different from a beast."Where do you think you're going? Since you're already here, don't even think about leaving," Colin mocked, lifting his robe to reveal an oversized suit underneath.As soon as he said this, over a dozen burly men emerged in the courtyard, including the young priest who had shown them the way.These men were armed with clubs, and they surrounded Chase and his two companions.Colin took the lead. With his chubby face and oversized suit, he looked huge as he stepped forward."Father Krause, are you going to act this lawless in such a sacred site?" Ira could not believe such a farcical scene would unfold at a tourist site."What sacred site? Here in upper Clearwater Town, I'm the mayor. Hence, Colin Krause is the law. I used to indulge your kind just to please you. "Now, boys, grab them for me. Bind that woman and bring her to my room. Today, I'd like to see
"Little Rocky, how about all seven of us marry you once we're all grown up?""Okay, when I grow up, I'll marry all seven of you!"Enola could hear their naive voices back when they were still kids like it was just yesterday."Okay, stop with the nonsense. Enola, since the location issue isn't settled yet, why don't we properly tour Dragon Tiger Mountain tomorrow and visit the sacred site?" Chase suggested with a flushed face."Good idea," Enola agreed, her cheeks slightly pink.After the conversation, they each returned to their rooms.…In a group chat named 'Dragon Tiger Mountain General Group', Colin's avatar popped up with a message.Colin: [Ira was at Dragon Tiger Mountain today.]With just that one sentence, the group chat became lively.[You mean Ira Perkins, the famous director from Bactria?][He actually came to Dragon Tiger Mountain?][I heard he's currently shooting a film called 'The Extraordinaire', and it seems like it's set at Dragon Tiger Mountain.]Colin:
Late at night over at Camland, a streak of light flashed across the sky. It went unnoticed by everyone.Assassin Five closed his eyes to sense for a moment and said, "Over there!"Then, his figure vanished, reappearing within what was once Basalt's base."Two marquises of martial arts fought here!" Assassin Five was surprised, vaguely sensing the remnants of the formations in the area.One presence was familiar. It was Chase, whom he had been pursuing. However, what about the other presence?Looking around the now empty base, Assassin Five grew frustrated.Was Chase somehow prophetic? How was he always escaping before his arrival?Remembering the orders from the elders of the Martial Soul Hall, Assassin Five had no choice but to distinguish the auras again and follow them....The next morning, a handsome man and a beautiful woman appeared at the foot of Dragon Tiger Mountain. Even though their hats partially obscured their faces, their extraordinary auras could not be hidden,
"What has this got anything to do with me?"Chase could not understand the woman in front of him. Why would she say all these in the arena?"Before that, allow me to share a secret with you. The male and female phoenixes were supposed to be one."Chase was about to say something when Yara interrupted him, "The Rising of the Phoenix is not only about enhancing power after rebirth; it's a process of a male turning into a female and vice versa."But since the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, the Phoenix Deity is the only Phoenix Demon Saint left, and he lost his power from the Rising to switch genders. He's unable to recover to his original power as well."However, he predicted that someone would be able to break him out of his suffering while wading in the river of fate."Yara looked into Chase's eyes with a smile."Is that person… me?"Anyone could tell the answer at this point.Chase was aware of what Yara was trying to tell him, but he still found it unbelievable when he asked the
Chase was the only person qualified to judge if there was murderous intent as he was the opponent in the arena.When Yara played the flute, it sounded like a beautiful melody from above the Ninth Heaven at first. If one listened closely, one could identify the vague signs of murderous intent.Chase scoffed at this. He thought it to be childish for one to hide murderous intent that way.He did not know music at all, but even he could tell what Yara was doing. Yara was looking down on him by doing this.When Chase was about to make his move, he was suddenly pulled into an illusion by the opponent. Chase was on a floating cloud above the Ninth Heaven in the illusion. It was just as Carla had said.He was initially flustered. How was he going to defend himself against the next killing move with such a powerful technique?While he was gathering all the vital energy within him, a sweet, melodious voice was heard. "Please don't retaliate, Mr. Collins. I bear no ill will."A tall, slen
"History scrolls don't really help with my cultivation. They make me drowsy every time, so I don't read them," Ford continued explaining without holding back. It did not seem wrong to him.However, his words made an impression on those listening.Ford was able to pick up the dragon clan's mystical techniques after reading them once. He even claimed it was not necessary to read them a second time. Was he even human? Oh, wait. He was a dragon. Tiana stared at him, not knowing what to say next.The Saintess of Emerald Lake Holy Land had not only fought with her talents yesterday but also with her hard work.When Tiana first entered Emerald Lake Holy Land, her master told her that her talents were upper-middle at best. She was considered extremely lucky to be accepted to the sect.Emerald Lake Holy Land was one of the top five sects in this world. It was second only to Sky Dragon Holy Land among the Four Holy Lands. Every disciple was the cream of the crop.Tiana grabbed attention t
Yara placed his flute to his lips and warned Chase, "I'll be making my move, Mr. Collins.""Please go ahead." Chase waved his hand casually and indicated for Yara to go ahead.It was the third round, and everyone at this stage was not to be underestimated. A powerhouse with a musical instrument for a weapon was rare. Chase looked forward to exchanging hands with him.The melodious sound of the flute was soon heard. All of the spectators could feel the atmosphere become more relaxed."Why is this Musical Technique non-lethal?""This can't be right. How did Yara Fries get into the third round? There's nothing formidable about this piece of music.""Is there anyone here who can explain?""He used his flute as a weapon in the previous rounds and knocked out his opponents with a couple of moves. He didn't play any music then.""Is he giving leeway to the opponent?""Could he be hinting at the opponent with his music that they're soulmates? They might end up being taken with each oth
As Clive had gained quite a lot, he decided to let it be. He allowed himself to let go of things. However, that being's consciousness began to open up to Clive, and that was when Clive realized how powerful the being was.It was one against the 12 Primal Treasures, and the universe was its target. It had existed for millions of years. The result of allowing it to take over was Clive losing complete control of his body. It was a projected image that vanished after Chase defeated it.However, Clive's body had been modified by it, and Clive's mind and soul were unable to control his own body. This was what had caused Clive to look like he was in a daze right after the match.Rania then used a mystical technique to transmit her cultivation and combine the powers of both parties. It triggered a lost talent within Clive that merged all of the swordsmanship he cultivated to form an unknown sword form that had never been seen before.Clive felt like he had been revived.He looked at the Ni
Inside the halved corpse, faint outlines of Rania and the coachman's bodies could be seen. They were twisted and contorted.Foul-smelling digestive fluid bubbled and hissed, corroding their bodies.Rania appeared to retain a shred of consciousness. "Cli... Clive... Clive... Help me... Save..."Her voice was faint, tremulous, and laced with sorrow. It stirred pity in the heart.In truth, even before she had spoken, Clive had already detected her presence through his spiritual consciousness. He raised his sword. His face was tormented as if he wanted to put a swift end to things. Yet in the end, he let out a long sigh and released a surge of true essence, pulling both the coachman and Rania from River's corpse.The coachman's cultivation was far too low, and his clothes were made of ordinary fabric. They offered no resistance to the corrosive and toxic digestive acid inside River's body.Half of his body was already unrecognizable, with the bones and internal organs exposed. His b
"Pathetic."The Nine-Sea Giant Squid that River had transformed into spoke with a human voice, then opened its gaping maw and swallowed her whole.The coachman, who had leaped off the horse the moment River transformed, scrambled and sprinted away. He was already dozens of feet out.Just then, a dark blur flashed past, and one of River's tentacles shot forward at incredible speed, snatching him back and devouring him in a single gulp as well."Disgusting. That woman tasted better," he muttered while slithering toward the carriage on his tentacles.Suddenly, an explosion echoed from within his belly, and faint glimmers of light shone through the surface of his body."That woman's protective artifact is so weak. Looks like she wasn't treated well in the Norths, after all."River examined himself carefully and found that it was indeed Rania's protective talisman that had just detonated. Yet his body remained largely unharmed. With some minor healing over ten days to half a month, he
Outside Light Divine City, Rania sat inside a carriage with Clive."Clive, say something, will you? You staying silent like this is really worrying me," she said while wiping the sweat from Clive's forehead and letting out a sigh.As a collateral descendant of the Norths, Rania's life had never been particularly easy. She had thought she had finally snagged a golden opportunity with Clive, only for him to fall into a daze after just one match.What was she supposed to do now?Everyone had witnessed their behavior during the tournament. Though some might look down on them, they would undoubtedly see the two of them as a pair by now.If she abandoned Clive at this point, she would surely be labeled a heartless woman.Just then, the carriage came to a halt. They had only left the city less than an hour ago and were still far from Universal Holy Land. Was someone blocking the road? Rania frowned and lifted the curtain.Sure enough, there was someone standing in the way.She looked c
Even though the match had ended, Lisa still could not fully escape the lingering terror.The slimy, wriggling tentacles covered in suction cups and jagged teeth, stretching out toward her… Such images were seared into her mind. The impact had been too great.Though she was a direct descendant of the dragon clan—an authentic ancient lineage and one of the top races in the entire world—she had been completely overpowered then.Normally, her bloodline would exert natural suppression over most others. However, at the time, she was almost crushed by another.She could not even begin to imagine what kind of race could do that."It tried to eat you?" Walter exclaimed in shock.As a great beast himself, he understood just how powerful the dragon clan's pure bloodline was.Even though the incident with the Lightning Dragon kneeling to Chase had dulled some of the mystique around dragons, it remained undeniable that they were a superior bloodline."For a creature to make a dragon feel lik
