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
Several ordinary Voodoo Cult members would never discover Chase and Quinn following them. Those men chatted happily along the way.Once they got nearer to an old building, they stopped chatting. This had to be one of the branches of the Voodoo Cult.The old building was situated deep inside the forest, but it did not seem out of place. It looked like it was made to be there. Huge trees surrounded the walls, looking like they were one with the building. This had to be the place those men were talking about.“Did all of you sneak out for a drink again? Do you know what day it is today? If the cult guardians had spotted you, you’d be severely punished.”The moment those men stepped through the door, a well-built man immediately berated them.“Have the cult guardians arrive?” Someone broke out in a cold sweat when he heard them being mentioned.“Hmph. I’ll deal with all of you later.” The man grunted coldly and ignored them after that.The group of men were relieved and quickly ran
"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
