Chase was already drained of true energy, so he almost collapsed under Alatar's oppressive aura. Fortunately, Alatar retracted his aura as quickly as he released it.In just a moment, Chase was drenched in sweat.What terrifying power!"Ah, forget it. I don't have much time left. My remaining days are dedicated to finding a true leader for the holy cult. While I'm still alive, let the Saintess stay here. After that, whether she leaves or stays is up to her."Rest assured, once the Saintess fully masters the Golden Voodoo Silkworm, I won't stop her if she wishes to seek you out."Furthermore, in this holy cult, no one will dare to offend her. I can guarantee that."Seeing him speak with such certainty, it was as if Alatar knew Quinn inside and out.Seeing his sincerity, Chase found it hard to argue.After all, it was indeed safer for Quinn to stay in Silent Creek than with him. Not only could he not resolve her chaotic energy, but he also could not contend with the Supreme Elder
As soon as Chase exited Silent Creek, his phone started ringing incessantly, showing several missed calls and unread messages. It seemed there was no signal inside Silent Creek.As he checked his phone, he saw messages from several of his sisters, Sam, William, and even Phineas from the Heavenly Master Mansion.After reading the messages, he realized something had happened.A day earlier, a mysterious man appeared at the entrance of the Heavenly Master Mansion on Dragon Tiger Mountain, declaring he wanted to challenge Master Collins. The disciples of the mansion tried to stop him, but instead of leaving, the man fought his way in, injuring the disciples.Phineas thought it was someone from the martial world trying to make a name for himself by challenging Master Collins, so he approached the man to persuade him to leave."Master Collins is no longer at the Heavenly Master Mansion. You should look for him elsewhere," he told him."You must be the current Heavenly Master of the sec
"What incident?" Chase pressed for more information.Caspian remained silent for a while before continuing, "I can only tell you that there was a cataclysmic conflict in the cultivation world years ago. Since then, Earth's spiritual energy has dwindled, and Valiant Kings can no longer walk the world openly. "They've been forced to seek refuge in secret realms. All the top powers sealed their mountain gates, leading to the current decline in the cultivation world and allowing young kids like you to run rampant. I was trapped in the Dragon Vein Secret Realm after that incident.""And what does that have to do with the Martial Soul Hall?""While the Martial Soul Hall doesn't have Valiant Kings, they have plenty of marquis-level experts, and it's possible they have a martial lord expert.""Is Chuck a martial lord?""No. But even if you can handle Chuck, what about the others? Can you defeat them all one by one?""Given time, I can!" Chase responded confidently.With the Dragon Vei
A few days passed quickly. With the increasing number of cultivators arriving, Joverton turned into a grand event for the cultivation world. Many opportunists set up stalls at the foot of Dragon Tiger Mountain, catering specifically to the cultivators.The place buzzed with activity. A man and a woman stopped by one of the stalls. The woman picked up a bottle of pills from the stall and examined it."You have a keen eye, fellow cultivator. This bottle contains Blood Restoration Pills, made from a blend of over ten types of spiritual herbs. As the name suggests, one pill can heal you completely, unless you suffer a fatal injury," the vendor enthusiastically promoted.However, the woman merely glanced at it and then put the bottle back before the two of them blended into the crowd.The two were Chase and Olivia.After Chase accepted the challenge, Olivia had been staying by his side ever since he returned to South River City. They were inseparable. She was clearly worried about him,
Chase, who initially did not want to cause any trouble, could not stand it any longer after hearing the young man's statement. A gentle breeze blew, and the recipe was suddenly in Chase's hand."How dare you snatch something I had my eye on, you insolent brat? No one has ever dared to take anything from Clay Hawkins! You're asking for it!" the purple-clad young man shouted in a rage.As soon as Clay announced his name, a large area of the previously crowded market cleared out. People who heard his name reacted as if they had heard something taboo."He's Clay Hawkins, the prodigious son of the Hawkins family from Capital City. I didn't expect him to come to Joverton!""Right? And I didn't expect the duel between Master Collins and the hall master of the Martial Soul Hall to attract people from Capital City.""You don't understand. The headquarters of the Martial Soul Hall is in Capital City. Rumor has it that the Hawkins family is closely connected with the Martial Soul Hall. Some
"Isn't your demand a bit excessive?" the vendor's tone turned cold."How about I catch up to Mr. Hawkins over there and tell him the recipe is fake?" Chase said softly with a slight smile.Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the vendor immediately calmed down. His face broke into his signature smile once again."Please don't do that. I'll admit defeat this time. I'll tell you the truth. Actually, it doesn't matter if you know this. Element Nurturing Pills can't be made by ordinary people because one of the ingredients is only available in the top sects," the vendor explained reluctantly."What herb? And why is it only available in the top sects?" Chase pressed."It's a spiritual herb that requires the irrigation of true energy by a Valiant King-level expert—the Green Bagger," the vendor revealed.Upon hearing this, Chase immediately understood. It was no wonder Element Nurturing Pills were only circulated within the top sects. It made sense now."Which sect do you belong to? T
As Clay prepared to strike, Chase spoke up again, "Aren't you curious about who I am?"Clay instinctively asked, "Who are you?""My name is Chase Collins."Upon hearing this, laughter erupted.Not only did Clay burst into laughter, but Tristan and the others behind him laughed as well. Clay laughed so hard he struggled to catch his breath."Tristan, did you hear that? He says he's Chase Collins.""Haha! If he's Chase, then I'm the hall master of the Martial Soul Hall."Even Linus, who was tied up, could not help but laugh."Fellow cultivator, you should run while you can. Now's not the time for jokes. Save your life!"Chase did not get angry. He just stood there, quietly watching the men laugh.After a few minutes, they finally stopped laughing."Kid, you're really amusing. Here's the deal. I won't trouble you anymore if you leave the beauty beside you to serve me. How about that?" Clay revealed his true intentions.From the moment he first saw Olivia at the market, Clay ha
Facing Chase's cold gaze, Tristan still did not sense the danger. He thought Chase was just putting on a show and would not dare to kill them."You’re really Chase? I’m an official of the Martial Soul Hall, sent here to maintain order in this market. Let’s just call it a day. Leave us be and I can put in a good word with the hall master to let you off tomorrow..." Tristan was still relying on his identity as he continued to speak. Suddenly, his entire body exploded, and his voice was abruptly cut off.Chase had no interest in listening to Tristan's nonsense. He unleashed his aura, and Tristan's body burst instantly.Chase coldly remarked, "As an enforcer of order, you not only failed to distinguish right from wrong but also acted as an accomplice. You deserve to die!"Clay panicked upon seeing Chase actually dare to kill someone. After being splattered with blood, he wiped it off his face and quickly began to plead for his life."Master Collins, you can't kill me. I'm the prodig
