"I was thinking of letting the rest of you handle the two martial lords while the three of us try to stall the pavilion master of Shadow Pavilion. We'll open a path for the rest of us to try and take over the formation." Apollo told them his plan.They contemplated it."That's risky. If all five of us martial lords end up being held back by those martial lords, the secret realm's formation might end up in one of these people's hands. We'll just be offering it up to them on a silver platter."Everett was the first to bring this up.The Coopers had come fully prepared for this trip to the secret realm. They had to get the ownership. He would never give it up to another person.While Everett objected to this, the others stayed silent.However, they continued discussing this by transmitting their voices.Chase sat in a far corner and was quite helpless in this situation."Can you hear what they're saying, sir?"Chase asked Lucas."It's not difficult to listen in to them," Lucas
Inside South Monarch Manor of Capital City, two pretty women were busy preparing all sorts of ingredients.They were Bianca and Quinn. Chase had been gone for more than ten days since entering the secret realm, and there was no news of him. Both of them were not worried as all the others who entered the realm with him had not returned either. They heard that they would be in the secret realm for 15 days.It was the last day tomorrow. They were staying at this house that Chase had bought before he entered the secret realm to quietly wait for his return. The days had been peaceful.They had not left the house for the past few days, and Quinn finally named the house after the property agent, Chet, came around to ask about it. Quinn took the word 'South' from South River City and finally named the house South Monarch Manor.A signboard was made for the manor with the name sprayed in gold and put up. After that, more people seemed to gather outside the door in the next few days.Quinn
"The owner of this manor is out. If you have anything to say, just wait until he returns."Bianca did not want to waste time with Pablo and turned to close the door.However, Pablo gave his bodyguards a look, and a few of them forced the door open.They attempted to barge into the manor."What are you doing? This is private property! I'll call the police to arrest all of you!" Bianca glared at them angrily. She was furious at what they were doing."Call the police? Well, you can only call them if you have a chance to do so."Pablo acted even more arrogantly when he found out the owner was not here."Even though the Lassiters aren't at the top of the list of influential families, we're still considered quite well-to-do. Bianca Cooper, is it? Be with me and I guarantee you fame and fortune.""Get out!" she shouted at Pablo."You forced me into this. Take her back with us," Pablo ordered. His bodyguards headed straight for Bianca.It was not the first time Pablo had done somethi
"Talk! Who told you to come here?"Quinn knew the man before her could not be the mastermind behind this. It was someone else, so she started to interrogate him."I'll talk, I'll talk! Don't kill me. The Hawkinses sent me here."Pablo did not dare to hide anything and revealed the mastermind behind this."Which Hawkins family are you talking about?" Quinn asked."It's the Hawkins family from Capital City's Eight Influential Families. Please don't kill me. I'm just a lapdog working for them. Have mercy," Pablo quickly begged for his life."Get out. Tell the Hawkinses that this property has been bought. I won't let them get away so easily if they continue causing trouble here!" Quinn gave a soft wave of her hand after that, and Pablo was thrown out the door along with his bodyguards.…Pablo knelt on the ground in the Hawkins residence while updating what had just happened."Did she really say she wouldn't let the Hawkinses get away with this so easily?" Carson looked upset whil
Outside the door of South Monarch Manor, another group of people appeared. This time, they were led by Emmett."Stand guard at all of the entrances. Make sure even a fly can't go in and out of there!" Emmett gave the order before flying into the manor.This was a family matter of the Coopers, and no one should be left alive if they witnessed this. That was why Emmett left his men behind while he entered South Monarch Manor on his own.It was an excellent piece of property.Emmett was impressed by its design.A figure appeared in white. She looked pure and out of this world.It was Quinn.She had sensed Emmett's aura and saw him walking around the manor like he owned the place. However, it was only now that she appeared before him."Who are you? Why did you barge into private property?!" Quinn stopped Emmett and questioned him coldly.Emmett was momentarily stunned to see such a great beauty before him. However, he snapped out of it when he heard her words."Who are you? Where
Lorne's mind quickly churned when Quinn started to ask questions.She was a very young woman. Even though he could not sense how high her cultivation was, he felt that they should be on par.He reasoned that she probably had a treasure on her that hid her aura, which was why he could not sense it.Yes, that had to be it.It was nearly unheard of for someone so young to be able to achieve a breakthrough from a marquis of martial arts to become a marital lord. The woman in front of him looked to be in her 20s. It did not seem possible that she was stronger than him, who was a stage-three martial lord.Such incredible achievement could not even be found in the two sects, three schools, and four clans of the cultivating world.Lorne seemed to gain more confidence at this thought."Who are you? How dare you kill Emmett Cooper in front of me? Have you any idea that you will have nowhere to go in Bactria if you offend the Coopers?"Quinn replied calmly to Lorne's questions, "It doesn'
Quinn spoke coldly as she stared at Lorne's corpse.She released the Golden Voodoo Silkworm.It flew toward both corpses and devoured them very quickly."Quinn, what should we do about the people outside the door?" Bianca came up to her and asked."Ignore them. Tomorrow is the 15th day. Chase will be back then. We'll decide what to do after Chase returns." Quinn looked up into the sky as her eyes filled with longing for Chase.…Inside the secret realm, a furious battle was still ongoing.Eight martial lords were in a chaotic fight in the sky.The pavilion master of Shadow Pavilion had noticed that his side was losing on the ground. He attempted to help his men more than once.However, Apollo and the other three put a stop to that.The two other martial lords fighting by the pavilion master's side were also being stalled.There was a flash, and the pavilion master distanced himself from the fight."Shadeless, get out here right now! What are you waiting for?" the pavilion m
The pavilion master's words shattered the morale of those being slaughtered by Shadeless. All of them formed into shadow fragments and attempted to escape by flying off into the sky.They did not forget to curse at Apollo while escaping."Hmph! You should be prepared to die if you want to take over the Control Formation. Moreover, this wasn't a lone decision by me. It was decided by all five of us. Why are you only blaming me for this?!"Apollo said to them furiously. He was upset about it. It took only a simple phrase from the pavilion master to scare these people into scattering in different directions.The pavilion master smiled gleefully."Once Shadeless is done with those ants, I'll see how many among the five of you are able to escape!"Apollo looked at the martial lord who had made a sudden appearance. He was slaughtering the marquises of martial arts below them. He knew that if Shadeless joined the fight against the five of them, they would be in dire straits.He began t
A cynical smile appeared on Chase's face. He waved his hand, and two silver flashes shot out.Silver needles pierced into the men in black's hearts and through the middle of their eyes. They did not even make a sound as they died on the spot."What…"All the Webers watching took a sharp breath and stumbled back a few steps. There was wariness in their expressions as they were filled with fear. Those men were powerful martial artists, but they were killed without even being able to retaliate."Who is this man? How dare he slaughter the guards of the Secret Sect's headquarters?!"Everyone began whispering among themselves."My gosh! That man must be a god to be so powerful. He killed all the guards from the Secret Sect's headquarters! How many people have he killed?""I heard that a powerful man emerged in Capital City who destroyed the Starks. Could it be him?""Impossible! Your news is outdated. I heard that this man's name is Chase Collins. He was born in a village at the bord
Chase would rather exhaust his vital energy than use precious ingredients. After all, he aimed to be at the peak of martial arts.If he relied on precious ingredients to help achieve peak stage momentarily, it would easily leave unwanted side effects or even cause his power to spiral. His cultivation would be forever stalled if that happened.There was a reason why some things were too good to be true.The cultivator's path meant that the more powerful the skill, the more difficulties one had to endure. It was the same with saint-level skills."If I accumulate enough experience, I can still formulate a plan to scale to greater heights even if I'm unable to achieve a breakthrough within a short time."There was a glint deep inside Chase's eye.All the old and weak, women and children of the Webers were just ants to Chase. He could destroy them with just a flip of the hand. They were not worth mentioning at all.However, if they gathered, they would be able to produce great power
"Kill him!"These martial artists were all powerful fighters. Even the weakest among them was a peak eighth-tier semi-saint. They sensed with their consciousness that Halver had been defeated.All of the Webers' powerhouses were filled with hate and anger. They took out their weapons and lunged toward Chase in an attack.The look in Chase's eye became even colder when the Webers retaliated. "I'll destroy the Webers today and get those two medicinal herbs after."A huge sword shadow formed behind Chase. The sword flash swept in all directions, destroying all of the weapons in the attack against Chase.Chase took another step forward. The sword in hand dazzled so brightly that it hurt the eyes. The light covered every corner as if about to destroy everything.It took only a short time for the Webers' powerhouses to be slaughtered. They did not even have the chance to retaliate. They were as weak as sick chickens.Cletus was shocked, feeling his hair stand on end. It felt like deat
Everyone was delighted.Halver Weber, the master of the Weber Secret Sect, was a peak martial arts saint. He was the second most powerful man after the Supreme Elder of the Webers.Two old men in black stood next to him with powerful auras. One of them was the leader of the Webers' Enshrined, Dennis Cloy. The other man was Halver's brother, Cletus."Who are you? How dare you barge into the Weber residence?! Don't you know that the Webers are Capital City's top family?" Halver said with a cold look on his face."Top family?" Chase laughed condescendingly and said with indifference, "I heard that the Webers possess two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. Bring them out here. Give me those herbs and the Webers will live. Otherwise…"Chase paused at this point. He swept a glance at all the Webers present. A cynical smile appeared on his face. "This isn't much. The Webers are nothing to me!"Halver was enraged and roared, "What arrogance! Don't blame us for retaliating with force now t
Meanwhile, Chase was glowing in gold light, looking like a God of War.He was dressed to hunt, and there was a cold look in his eye. He displayed no emotions, acting like all he had done was kill an ant.Chase pulled out his sword, where blood was dripping down the blade.He turned to leave and headed to look for the Webers. Now that he was done with the Starks, it was time to take care of the Webers.Chase thought about this as he walked there. The Starks were one of the most wealthy families in Capital City. It did not bother him to destroy the Starks, but he had to find a good reason to do so or it might make others suspicious."Forget about it. I'll destroy the Weber Secret Sect first before thinking about this."Not long after, Chase arrived at the door of the Weber Secret Sect. He pushed the door open and strode in.The guards of the Weber Secret Sect saw Chase barge in and shouted, "Who dares come into the Weber Secret Sect?!" Chase kept silent as he continued walking i
"Who exactly is that young man? Why haven't I heard of him? The Starks are finished for making such a powerful enemy."Chase was decisive and resolute. He was ruthless, which frightened many of the Starks' guards.He closed his eyes to rest. Thin, black smoke began wafting out of his body and it eventually covered everything around Chase. No one was able to get near him.This was a lonely mountain peak that was far away from the bustling city.After some time, a car came by and parked near the mountain."Bastard!"Someone roared in misery. Theo Stark jumped out of his car. He was furious and roared with great anger.He looked at the abandoned house in front of him. Sorrow, fear, and revenge consumed him. His roars echoed all around."Chase Collins! Where is my son, Tank?!"He ran toward the ruins crazily.Just as Theo was about to get inside, he suddenly sensed a great danger. The next thing he knew, the mountain began shaking. It felt like the sky was about to fall. Theo was
Something sped by in the air, and several powerful auras were coming in close."Who are you? How dare you slaughter the Starks?"The man in the lead grunted coldly. He had a spear in his hand and came speeding over in a flash to stab Chase in the back.Chase did not look back. He raised his left hand and flicked his finger. There was a loud bang, and the spear broke into pieces. Turning back, he waved his hand. The dagger shot out midair and stabbed right between the man's eyes."H-How is this possible…" The man's eyes widened as he looked at Chase in disbelief. His mouth moved as if trying to say something, but his body gradually turned cold and stiff. This happened in a flash.By the time the other powerful auras appeared, the man with the spear was dead."Who are you?!" The two men were shocked. They were looking at Chase in great astonishment."I should be the one asking who you are," Chase sneered, his eyes narrowing.The two old men stepped forward and said in a deep voic
Chase saw that the entire living room was covered in blood. The walls were filled with various frightening torture tools."Is this how the Starks treat their guests?" Chase's expression was cold. He said this slowly and carefully, making sure every word was heard.The Starks!They were crossing the line!"Who's there?!"An angry voice was heard from deep inside the house. It was followed by violent coughing.A young man with messy hair struggled to stand. He was covered in blood. An arm fell limply below his shoulders. The cut on it was clean, and it was a horrifying sight to see.His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Chase. "You worthless ant, you—pfft!"He only managed a few words before his throat caught something and he coughed up blood."Who are you? The Starks have never crossed paths with you. Why do you want me dead?!" He was a member of the Starks, and he questioned Chase with clenched teeth.A name immediately appeared in Chase's mind at the sight of this Stark fa
The elder was furious with what the Gold Devouring Voodoo Bug did."Damn it! You destroyed everything I had!"He was filled with anger. His eyes were red as he yelled hysterically. His voice was shrill, and it sounded like the shrill of a banshee."Did you think you were the only one who knew how to use voodoo?" Chase grunted coldly."Impossible! How could you know restricted mystical techniques?" The elder was in disbelief. Only a direct descendent of the clan was qualified to cultivate the Gold Devouring Voodoo Bug."Nothing is impossible in this world," Chase said with conviction.He flicked his fingers after that, and a green talisman appeared. It exploded with a loud bang and formed into a burning ball of flame.Two balls of flame came flying over and sat on each side of Chase's shoulder. The flames burned furiously as they formed into fire armor that covered him. His defense increased."You must die…"The elder laughed crazily.He waved his hand, and two wooden puppets
