"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
Both of them were speechless. Even though the dishes had been served, all they did was lower their heads to eat what was in front of them.Quinn broke the silence. “Let’s remarry, Chase!”Chase choked and started coughing.“What did you just say, Quinn?” Chase took a gulp of water and asked again.“I said, let’s remarry!” Quinn worked up the courage to say this out loud. Even the customers at the next table could hear them and turned to look.Quinn ignored them and continued saying, “I divorced you before because I had no idea who you really were. I was facing threats from the Harrigans, and I didn’t want you to get hurt in the process.“When I found out you were Little Rocky, I was confused. I didn’t know if I was in love with Chase Collins or if I still loved Little Rocky. It’s only now that I found out that you’re Little Rocky, and you’re also Chase Collins. You’re one and the same. That’s why we should remarry!”Quinn professed her love bravely. However, Chase was stunned.
“What exactly is going on? When did you give Blizzard Group to someone else?” Chase ignored Charlie, who had run off, and turned to ask Quinn.It turned out Quinn had handed over Blizzard Group’s management to Reginald after that day so that she could go after Chase in Camland.When she finally found Chase, she encountered Madam Snake and was brought to Silent Creek. After that, she cultivated with Madam Snake and had not been back to the Norris household since then. That was how the misunderstanding occurred with the public.Charlie was one of the numerous businessmen who partnered with Blizzard Group, but Quinn had cut his company off when there were issues with their supplies.Without Quinn to watch over Blizzard Group, Charlies must have used some sort of underhanded way to get back in partnership with them.Chase finally understood everything when Quinn told him what happened.“Why is Blizzard Group doing everything in their power to find you?”“Uncle Reggie must be worried
“You aren’t still a virgin, are you?” Caspian teased him in his mind.Chase suddenly felt embarrassed.“Damn it. I forgot someone could be watching me. I have to remember to shield this next time!” Chase reminded himself quietly.…At a mysterious building in Capital City, a figure was seen seated in the lobby.“I can’t believe that Assassin Five failed too. It would be useless to send more assassins. Why don’t you make a trip there, Garth?” An elderly voice was heard not far off.Someone suddenly replied, “I don’t mind going there, but I won’t do an assassination.”“What do you mean?”“I’ll invite that little bastard for a duel in the name of Martial Soul Hall. It doesn’t matter if he shows up. I’ll still be able to make a name for the Martial Soul Hall!”“Good idea!”…Chase was still thinking about the kiss when he returned to Imperial Dragon Bay. That was when Quinn called him on the phone.He thought that Quinn wanted to see him again and quickly picked up the call. Ho
Silent Creek was different from the other cities in Bactria. Chase only realized that when he arrived. He felt like he had returned to his childhood. There were no high-rise buildings here, and it was the same near the airport. All they saw was barren land not long after they left the airport.“Where are we heading to, Quinn?” Chase looked at the unlimited stretch of barren land and asked.“We’ll head to Grandma Snake’s old home first to take a look,” Quinn replied after some thought.“Alright!”They had no clues for now, and Chase could only follow Quinn’s lead.Chase and Quinn had to keep changing different transports. They started with a cab and later boarded a big bus. After that, they got onto a smaller bus and later took a tricycle. In the end, they got on the original transportation known to men, a horse.They traveled two entire days before they arrived at a tribe. There were a few tents scattered around. They could even see some fallen tents from afar.This was bad!Th
The Voodoo Cult was putting in a lot of effort just to find Quinn, whom the Golden Voodoo Silkworm had acknowledged as its master. Madam Snake had told Quinn once that anyone who had been acknowledged as its master would be known as the Saintess by the Voodoo Cult.Quinn blamed herself for this.Chase noticed how upset she was and held her hand. He said softly, “Don’t feel bad about this, Quinn. The Voodoo Cult are the ones who murdered people. It has nothing to do with you.”“I know, but so many innocent people have died. They’re all just ordinary people. Why would the Voodoo Cult do this to them?” Quinn could not stop feeling sorrow over what happened.“It’s pointless to feel sad at this point. If the Voodoo Cult is after you, Madam Snake won’t be in any danger for now. We should figure out a way to save her,” Chase said after analyzing the situation.Quinn thought Chase was right.“Grandma Snake brought me to the Voodoo Cult before when she was buying voodoo bugs for me. We ca
It was a whole new world for Chase when they entered the village.Quinn had wanted to take Chase directly to where the voodoo bugs were, but Chase stopped her. He pulled her into a place that looked like a restaurant instead.There were not many people inside. Only three or five tables were filled up while the rest of the tables were empty. Chase and Quinn found an empty table and sat down. They waited a while before a waitress came to their table.“What would you like?” A young woman in a traditional Silent Creek dress asked them in a crisp voice.“Bring us all your restaurant’s specialties and give us two bottles of your best alcohol,” Chase said slowly while deliberately deepening his voice.“Alright. Coming right up.” The woman became a little more friendly when she heard their order and turned to enter the kitchen.It was not often that the restaurant had such generous customers. They instantly became her most important customers.“This place is one of the locations where t
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
