Chapter 617

Author: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
As the two departed, the onlookers who had secretly watched from a distance were instantly in an uproar.

"The chairman of Farwide Group, Cian Jovers, was killed just like that! Even his body was left right here. This is huge! Let’s hurry and leave!"

The ordinary folks dared not linger in the area any longer and quickly fled the scene of trouble.

The news spread as rapidly as the dispersing crowd.

Soon, it reached the ears of the mayor of Joverton.

"What? Cian was killed on the spot? By a suspected martial arts master? The murderer hasn't even fled and is still at Dragon Tiger Mountain?

"I don’t care who the hell that martial arts expert is! How dare he kill my son and show such disregard for me? Notify the Joverton police to besiege Dragon Tiger Mountain. Turn it inside out if you have to, but find the murderer and bring him to justice!" Jeremiah Jovers, the mayor of Joverton, roared hysterically.

Putting down the documents he was handling, Jeremiah recalled that the suspect was

    "Malachi, I only sent you down the mountain to gain experience, not to get involved in these matters. It's best if you can stay out of it. How could you allow yourself to get deeply entangled in this?" the elder said in a lecturing tone."But, Master—" Malachi wanted to say more."Enough. No need to say more. Just watch," the elder interrupted him.Despite being surrounded by police, Chase was calm and composed. He was merely waiting for the person in charge to arrive.Sure enough, before long, Jeremiah appeared at the scene, accompanied by a whole troop. The police surrounding Chase stepped aside as some of them, armed with guns and a couple with RPGs, secured the perimeter.Seeing that Chase was already surrounded, Jeremiah walked past the officers, ignoring the attempts of Sage Cox and the others to stop him. He simply approached Chase to confront him. "Did you kill Cian?"Chase glanced at Jeremiah and responded indifferently, "What if I did?""May I ask why?""Because he

    If it was truly him, the statements made just now were indeed correct. Gregory decided to clarify things first.Gregory quickly responded, "I'm General Gregory Maverick of the Joverton Military Region. Are you Basalt's Collins?"Chase ignored Gregory’s query and retorted, "Since when can a mere mayor control the military?"This response further confirmed Gregory's suspicion.It really was Basalt's Collins himself. Gregory immediately broke out in a cold sweat.This was the man who had command over military movements not just in Joverton but across all of Bactria.Realizing that Gregory had almost ordered an attack on Basalt's Collins, he regretted it deeply. After all, this was Basalt's Collins, a true master of martial arts who had slain several of the Eastern Ocean's Heavenly Masters and made monumental contributions to Bactria."I, Gregory Maverick, pay my respects to Chief Instructor Collins!" Gregory immediately saluted respectfully."Salute to Basalt's Collins," the sol

    Chase turned around and said calmly, "Didn’t you hear him? He claims to be the law in Joverton. Who else in Joverton can judge him? But since you're pleading for him, let me ask you one question—and answer me truthfully—is he truly innocent?”Faced with Chase’s gaze, Sage recalled Jeremiah’s reputation in Joverton and immediately fell silent.If Jeremiah had been clean, Farwide Group would not have dominated Joverton. Over the years, more than half of the cases in court involved Farwide Group, and each time a case escalated, it disappeared without a trace.As the head of the police, Sage was all too aware of this.Seeing Sage's expression, Chase understood it well. “I know you're somewhat discontent with my direct approach, thinking even if Joverton can't judge him, appealing to Capital City might work. But have you thought about this? "After all these years, he remains the top official in Joverton. Why is that? Do you think no one has reported him to the capital? Besides, is it

    "In the current world, spiritual energy only allowed cultivators to cultivate up to the peak of a true master of martial arts. To progress further, one must find a place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converges or seek remnants of the old world, namely secret realms. "You're constantly on the run, so how could you have time to practice and make breakthroughs?" Assassin Five was absolutely puzzled.Chase was not inclined to clarify anything for his enemy, so he replied coolly, "Guess?""According to legends, some powerful beings could assimilate secret realms into their bodies. But it's clear you can't possibly do that. So, there's only one possibility left—you have a spiritual crystal formed from gathered spiritual energy on you, right? "Hand it over and I might spare your life," Assassin Five speculated, feeling he had guessed correctly.Spiritual crystals were rare, but they did occasionally exist in the world."A spiritual crystal? I did have one, but I've al

    Thunder techniques?What a coincidence.Upon hearing this, Chase casually said, "Thunder!"Suddenly, the previously clear sky was instantly shrouded with dark clouds. A storm was brewing rapidly as fierce winds kicked up. Within the clouds, brilliant flashes of light moved like dragons made up of electricity, racing through the sky."You actually know thunder techniques?" Caspian exclaimed in surprise within Chase's mind."Just a little," Chase replied, recalling the Five-Thunder Technique the old man had taught him. He had not expected that using it with his current level of cultivation would manifest such divine power.The unusual sight in the sky did not go unnoticed by two priests watching from a distance.At this moment, the two were already dumbfounded."Master, isn't that the Heavenly Master Mansion's thunder technique?" Malachi muttered in disbelief."It's a thunder technique, but even I, or even Phineas, can't produce such a phenomenon when using it," Malachi's master

    The ancient sword flew close to Chase, circling around him.Chase realized that the pull he had been feeling was indeed from the ancient sword in front of him. As he executed the Five-Thunder Technique, the pull reached its peak. Extending his hand, the ancient sword automatically landed in his grasp."Kid, you're quite fortunate. It's the famous sword from the Heavenly Master Mansion, the Evil Slaying Sword. It was drawn to you," Caspian immediately recognized the ancient sword."The Evil Slaying Sword? Is it powerful?" Chase asked, examining the sword handle from left to right."Powerful? It's more than just powerful. This is the legendary sword of Darren James, endowed with mysterious powers and revered as a sacred treasure for ages. After so many years, this sword might have developed its own intelligence!" Caspian said enviously.Hearing this, Chase was about to study the sword further when two figures appeared in the distance. They were two elderly priests, one following the

    "But, Phineas..." Pierce wanted to add something."Enough, Pierce. My mind is made up. There's no need for further discussion," Phineas interrupted Pierce's words.The Heavenly Master Mansion's lineage had declined by their generation. If Basalt's Collins could become the current Heavenly Master, he would undoubtedly lead the Heavenly Master Mansion to rise again.Even Chase was startled by Phineas' offer to relinquish the position of Heavenly Master so readily.It was tempting, of course. The position of Heavenly Master was not something to be taken lightly, but considering the vendettas he carried, Chase knew he could not accept the offer."Master Phineas, there's no need for that. I'll just share the technique with you," Chase slowly said.As he handed back the Evil Slaying Sword, a stream of complex words flowed into Phineas' mind, which was the essence of the Five-Thunder Technique."For today's favor, the Heavenly Master Mansion is deeply grateful to you, Basalt's Collins.

    Chase ultimately did not take the Evil Slaying Sword with him. After all, it was a symbol of the Heavenly Master Mansion, and he wanted to leave Phineas with some dignity.Once the last scene was filmed and Ira was very satisfied with the outcome, he immediately planned to rush back to Chitara to start post-production work."Chase, come back to Chitara with us. You're the male lead of the movie, so we can't do the promotion without you!" When Ira heard that Chase intended to leave the crew, he immediately began to persuade him to stay."With Enola here, I'm sure the movie will be a hit. I'll sit this one out," Chase declined firmly.He had spent quite some effort just hours earlier convincing Enola to return to Chitara to assist Ira and eventually promised that he would come to Chitara to pick her up after the movie's premiere. Only then did Enola agree.After a heartfelt goodbye and watching the entire crew, including Enola, board the plane, Chase set off alone for South River Ci

    "My gosh! How is this happening?!" The skeletal old man panicked. His soul energy sensed that heaven and earth's vitality seemed to be attracted by something when it was around Chase, and it flowed directly into Chase.Meanwhile, the brilliant glow of the sun appeared in the air behind Chase. It burned brightly and blinded those who saw it.A massive Divine Red Phoenix appeared and opened up its wings as it flew in the air. It was ferocious and had an air of danger about it."The Divine Red Phoenix?!"The sight of it put fear in the skeletal old man as his eyes widened. "Who exactly are you?!"Chase ignored him. He had formed into a golden-red phoenix and was emanating a terrifying aura in the air."Burning Sky Technique!"The temperature in the cave suddenly hiked up several hundred degrees due to the burning golden sun. Even the cave walls and ground were melted into lava that started to flow like a river.The skeletal old man screamed in pain as his body turned red instantly

    Chase moved extremely fast. He appeared in front of the skeletal old man, who was about ten yards away, in an instant.They were fighting in close combat. Their hands and legs hit and kicked each other as protective energy flew about.Several muffled explosions were heard. It was difficult to determine the victor in this fight."You're at the end of your tethers, little bastard! You're about to die! I'm going to refine you and feed your soul to the Phantom Coffin. You'll be vanquished completely and turned into a part of my body."The skeletal old man held back his head and laughed wildly. His wounds were healing at an incredible speed.Chase's performance in this fight had angered him. He no longer cared about hiding his identity."You want to refine me? You're nothing but a ghost. Are you dreaming?" Chase sneered and suddenly lunged forward."Die!" Chase was quick as lightning as he instantly got close to the skeletal old man. He pressed his palm down on the old man's shoulder

    A strange air of authority could be felt coming from him."How did this happen?"The skeletal old man's eyes widened, and his heart beat violently. He was trembling.Chase looked just like a demon king.He took a step forward. The earth and sky tremored as cracks appeared on the ground.Chase's physique suddenly expanded exponentially. His skin was bright red, and his bones seemed to be clanging. A strong dark blood energy flooded out from him.Chase waved his arms about crazily. Explosions went off in the air. Every punch he swung was followed by the terrifying sound of an explosion.The surface of the graveyard collapsed from Chase's savage strength.Chase crushed half the skeletal old man's face with one punch, and the old man's body flew off several yards away.Meanwhile, Chase was suffering from backlash because the true energy reserves within his body had erupted. Bloody arrows began shooting out of him."Only a little of my true energy is left!" Chase said sadly.Even

    "You're pretty formidable for a young man. You were actually able to stop the spiritual resentments from going any further. You're a Collins, indeed!"The skeletal old man chuckled. "But that doesn't mean anything. You still won't be able to escape death today!"He crashed the Phantom Coffin viciously toward Chase.Chase grunted coldly and took a step forward. He evaded the Phantom Coffin.He leaped and flew into the air. Chase moved in the formation of an eight trigram and kept shimmering because of his high speed.Chase punched the Phantom Coffin continuously, and it flew off to crash heavily by the feet of the skeletal old man. He jumped at it and evaded the crash in a fluster."My coffin!"He was almost crying.The Phantom Coffin was his most valuable possession. It was built using more than a dozen rare and precious medicinal herbs. He had put a lot of effort into it, but Chase was treating it like a punching bag, denting it all over with his attacks."You're dead!" The s

    "Swallow it!"Chase growled. His Sea of True Energy core began to surge and boil. It overwhelmed him like huge waves from the sea, and wisps of silver-white mist steamed from him. The mist gathered to his palm and wrapped the spiritual resentment within it.The silver spiritual spring was the liquid form of the Sky Spirit Energy's essence. It could purify the physique and enhance one's potential. It could strengthen the energy and blood within the body and increase one's cultivation talent."Swallow it!"The silver mist was like a huge vortex which slowly consumed the spiritual resentment.The minuscule purple crystal sword shuddered and tore itself away from Chase's control as it shot into the air above."How is that possible?" Chase's eyes widened. He was stunned.He could sense that the spiritual resentment he had worked hard for days to train had escaped his grip because of the Phantom Sword. It was even rushing toward the outer realm.Chase quickly used his mystical techni

    As the runes on the Phantom Coffin began to glow brilliantly, a deafening explosion echoed through the air. A streak of ghostly green fire erupted from the coffin, surging toward Chase."What a dense ghostly aura," Chase muttered.Marais let out a crazed laugh. "That's the Phantom Flame! It burns the soul itself. You're doomed, boy! Your soul will be reduced to ashes!"The Phantom Flame was birthed from the condensed resentment of countless trapped souls and was a force of terrifying destruction.Once it latched onto its target, extinguishing it was impossible. Marais had spent centuries cultivating just a fragment of this flame. Now, using it against Chase was both his ultimate weapon and revenge."Have you finished rambling, you old fart?" Chase's cold voice cut through the air."What?" Marais froze, confused by Chase's tone."I asked if you were done," Chase repeated as his icy eyes locked onto Marais.Golden light radiated from Chase's body like a blazing sun. His hand lash

    Chase paused, his expression shifting with curiosity."What's this?" he muttered to himself."Ha! Foolish boy, this is the Phantom Coffin, a weapon I painstakingly refined over decades!" Marais sneered. "This coffin isolates everything, even your spiritual senses. You won't be able to detect my presence!""Phantom Coffin, seal the souls!" Marais intoned while his hands formed seals.A massive black coffin materialized and descended like a storm cloud, enveloping Chase. In an instant, Chase felt his head grow heavy. His vision turned blurry, and his spiritual senses waver."Childish tricks," Chase scoffed as he activated his spiritual force.Yet to his surprise, his senses detected an eerie sight within the coffin—countless trapped souls writhing and roaring in an endless struggle, as if yearning to escape their imprisonment.'Impressive. It seems Secret Sect's elders are even stronger than I anticipated,' Chase thought grimly.He could tell that these souls, even if diminished,

    As soon as Chase said this, he launched another strike.The battle between Chase and Marais intensified. Their moves shifted rapidly, and in a matter of moments, they had exchanged over ten blows without a clear winner."Hmm?" Marais' expression shifted to one of surprise."Your physical strength seems to have increased," he remarked. "It appears you've consumed quite a few rare treasures. No matter—it saves me the effort!"Marais' body trembled, his clothes billowing. From his frail form, skeletal branches grew like weathered wood, weaving into black armor. This was a secret technique that enhanced his defense and sped up his recovery."This body is too old," Marais admitted coldly. "Although it holds martial deity-level power, its lifespan is nearly spent. It's no longer fit for my cultivation."Only by devouring your flesh and blood can I replenish my vitality. Perhaps then, I can be reborn!"With that, Marais pushed off the ground with explosive force, hurtling toward Chase.

    Chase let out a cold laugh."Do you think such petty tricks can scare me?"Before his words had faded, Chase leaped directly into the swarm of ghostly entities. Though these phantom tactics were far from ordinary, he showed no fear."Hehe…""Delicious…""Hahaha…""Feed us!"The ghostly figures lunged at Chase with terrifying cries and wails that pierced the air. It was chilling to anyone who heard them."Just a mere gathering of dark energy, and you think it can trap me?" Chase sneered dismissively.Golden light burst forth from his body, shining like a radiant star. As he wielded his golden spear, Chase swept it across the ghostly swarm in a move that generated a violent gust, scattering the ghostly entities.His hands moved swiftly, forming intricate seals. Two streams of true energy intertwined and coalesced into a spiraling drill."Break!" Chase roared, channeling his energy into the drill and slamming it into Achilles' forehead.Achilles' skull exploded instantly, his
