Belinda and the high-level authorities had a very good relationship, so the world was familiar with her and the Warrior League, which was why it was so famous.The members of the Warrior League were able to get a lot of help from their legal counterparts because of Belinda's connections, which was why they appeared to have more influence than other sects.However, that did not mean the Warrior League could stand on its own.The truth was that the Sword Towers wasn't the only martial arts sect that could stand against the Warrior League.It was only because of Belinda's relationship with the high-level authorities and her own abilities that had kept things peaceful until now. Recently, the Elderstone Sect and the Sword Towers had joined forces with the Dragon Sect and had made a big show of announcing their opposition to the Warrior League. That had resulted in martial arts forces who coveted the Warrior League or even those who desired to devour it to turn their eyes on Ventus
Gary bowed to Sebastian. "200 experts at Supreme Grandmaster level have already arrived in Steinberg and are at your service at any time, Mr. Ballard."Sebastian drew in a sharp breath. 200 Supreme Grandmaster level experts had gathered in just a few days' time. That was a very impressive show of skill in assembling people."Thank you, gentlemen. Let's exchange our contact numbers. It'll be easier to communicate." Sebastian exchanged phone numbers with them before leaving.While Sebastian was speeding up with his plans, Hunter had not been idle. He had secretly transferred over around 40-50 Grandmaster level experts from all the Sloanes' organizations nationwide. As Elton had said, people like Sebastian should either be left alone or killed in one strike. They couldn't let him have the chance to catch his breath. Ordinary people couldn't ever understand how terrifying a yellow paper charm expert could be. They could send out supernatural entities like spirits or demons even from
Hunter had already contacted his family. The Mirror of Rain that Sebastian had was the object Roy had asked for specifically, and Elton was just a pawn.Hunter made up his mind there and then. As soon as they got the Mirror of Rain, he would get rid of Elton as well!Elton could feel Hunter's venomous glare on him, and his lip curled sardonically. He had agreed to give the Mirror of Rain to Hunter, but he had no intention of doing so once they got it.The Sloanes were just a channel of information to him. Once he got what he wanted, Hunter could die!Now, Elton had to go to Mount Milia to set things up.After all, his opponent was also an expert in yellow paper charms, and from how Hunter's subordinates had been killed simultaneously that day, Elton could see that Sebastian wasn't to be underestimated.If he wanted to kill Sebastian, he would have to set up a spell that could stop spirits.The terrain around Mount Milia was very suitable for setting up a spirit-subduing spell.I
Hunter didn't want to say a word more to Elton, so he hung up abruptly."Hmph!" A cold smile appeared on Elton's face.Mount Milia wouldn't just be Sebastian's burial spot. It would also be Hunter's final destination!There was a stone coffin placed at Elton's feet, and it contained a pale corpse.If one looked closely, one could see that the corpse appeared to be swollen from being soaked in water. Its fingernails were growing outward at a speed visible to the naked eye. There was no cover on the stone coffin, and there was only a thin layer of fog inside it. It was the cursed land energy of the Mount Milia valley."You have a spirit to help you, and I have corpse puppets to take the knife blows! I'd like to see who's more powerful, a spirit or a corpse puppet!" Elton said to himself as he patted the stone coffin lightly.…Meanwhile, at the market near the pharmaceutical factory, Whitney had just bought some vegetables and spare ribs. She was planning to go home and make spa
Damn it!Hunter cursed silently and waved a hand at the man in the martial arts robes. "Tie her to a tree!"Elton wasn't an upright man, but he understood the mystic arts and other spells, and he could tell at once that something was different about Whitney.He would never have thought that Sebastian's ex-wife was a dark energy vessel. She was like a natural furnace for those trained in black magic like Elton. If he could train with her, he would save himself a lot of effort.Once everything was ready, Hunter picked up his phone and called Sebastian.Sebastian had just eaten dinner. He was discussing the details of yellow paper charm spells with his spirit when his phone rang all of a sudden.Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, Sebastian hesitated but still answered it."Ballard, do you know who I am?" Hunter's icy voice came over the phone. "Who are you?" Sebastian asked impassively."I'm Hunter Sloane. Let's cut to the chase. Your ex-wife Whitney is currently a guest h
"Wait, my lord! Although you can climb over mountains as if they were flat ground, the lady will not be able to stand the rough journey," the spirit said.Sebastian's gaze swept over the spirit, and he immediately pulled out his phone to call Zane.Ten minutes later, Zane arrived at the door to the convenience store in a Jeep."Get in, Seb!" Zane waved at him."Mount. Milia, Neo Ravine. We must be quick!" Sebastian said urgently."Seb, why don't you ask Liam to help? After all, he's with the special forces team. They can help to close down the important routes for us," Zane said thoughtfully as he drove. He had heard Sebastian tell him over the phone about Whitney getting abducted by Hunter, and he had thought of Liam immediately.However, without Sebastian's permission, he dared not call Liam. If anything happened to Whitney, Sebastian would probably never forgive him."It won't be of any use. They've made themselves very clear. They want me to go alone. Even one extra person
Sebastian was supposedly walking, but he was astoundingly fast. The spirit ran as fast as it could behind Sebastian, but it still fell behind by about 400 feet.There were more than ten Jeeps parked in the most central part of Neo Ravine. Several pairs of headlights shone brightly, making the area seem as bright as day.Sebastian was very familiar with the scene. A month ago, he had come across the exact same formation on the state highway. However, the people lying in wait at the time had been the murderers sent by the Slaughter Gods."Sebastian." Hunter sneered, eyeing him coldly."Let her go. I'm the one you're looking for. She has nothing to do with it!" Sebastian pointed at Whitney, who was tied to the tree. "Sebastian, hurry up and run! Don't worry about me!" Whitney yelled urgently at him.One of Hunter's lackeys pulled out a dagger and held it against Whitney's neck. He shouted coldly, "If you keep talking, I'll stab you!"Whitney was so afraid of the gleaming dagger th
Elton patted the stone coffin gently."Mr. Jorson, leave, hurry!" Sebastian pointed to Whitney, who was still tied to the tree. He said, "You must wait for me to return. If I can't, then please take care of her for me, Mr. Jorson. I'd like to ask the same of the others in the Warrior League.""Mr. Ballard!" Gary looked at Sebastian hesitantly."Go!" Sebastian said softly.Seeing how determined Sebastian looked, Gary waved at his subordinates. Two black-clad men cut the rope and lifted Whitney up. They ran toward the entrance to the mountain.The spirit took a step forward once Gary and the others were some distance away. It stood in front of Sebastian and said to Elton, "We should settle the feud between us as well."The spirit stretched out its hand and beckoned. Six ghostly figures immediately appeared behind it. Elton laughed contemptuously and said, "I didn't expect you to improve so much. You've even learned to control spirits!"I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad fo
Javier fell with a thump onto the floor. He stared dazedly as Kayden was tied to a long bench with a rope."Bring in the family members of the victim. Who from the law enforcement hall will carry out the punishment?" Sebastian demanded.He pulled out a silver needle and pierced one of Kayden's acupuncture points, which would make him more alert.When a man in a wheelchair was pushed into the hall by a young woman who looked very frail, Sebastian stood up quickly.He said to the young man, "Kayden is the reason your family's fallen apart. We'll torture him to death very soon.""That asshole! He deserves to be slashed a million times!" the young man yelled at Kayden, clenching his fists tightly."Don't get agitated. He won't die before he gets cut 7,000 times. Although you don't have the right to carry out the execution, you can splash salt water over his wounds!"Sebastian took a bucket from one of the law enforcement hall apprentices and placed it in front of the young man."Se
At least that man had not had to grovel to the perpetrators to thank them. Not only did Brayden have to grovel to the law enforcement hall men, he even had to thank them!After about four hours, when Kayden had pulled up his pants, he went over to Brayden and said in a slightly ashamed tone, "Inspector Jefferson, I… I had no choice!"He sounded as if he was completely innocent.Brayden wanted to murder him. Just a minute earlier, when Joaquin had called out his name, he had been shaking with excitement. He had even forgotten about the pain of having his crotch injured and lunged toward Darla like a hungry wolf. Now, he was standing in front of Brayden, acting innocent?Brayden had only gotten into this state because of Kayden!After sending away all the reporters, Joaquin sent a message to Sebastian. In less than ten minutes, Sebastian sauntered back into the restaurant. He glanced at Darla, who was lying on the floor with a vacant look in her eyes. Sebastian patted Brayden's sh
If the incident was broadcast, it would be sure to cause an uproar, and Boren would become the center of the storm.However, Sebastian had made up his mind, and Joaquin didn't dare to try and dissuade him. He had no choice but to do as Sebastian had commanded and call over the news teams from all three states' television stations.Since the head director of a state was calling them personally, none of them dared to refuse. In less than two hours, the news teams from all three state television stations had arrived and were in position."What news are we broadcasting today, Mr. Ballard?" a female reporter asked Sebastian.She had seen how messy the place was, and there didn't seem to be anything for them to report about."Later, these people are going to help a family improve the gene pool, and I need you to broadcast the entire process live. Before you do, please play a recording of a phone call from Inspector Jefferson," Sebastian said. He sent the recording of the phone call
"Kneel!" Sebastian suddenly yelled.Brayden yelped with fear and fell to his knees."Sebastian, I… I'm a tristate inspector of the Martial Arts Court!"At that point, Brayden's final hope was his authority and position. He didn't want to die, and he especially didn't want to die for no reason.He just wanted to win favor with the ancestral being of the Berkeleys and get some tips on how to get a longer life."Call your wife! I'll give you two hours. If she doesn't come, you'll be tortured to death as well. I can tell you clearly that I'm a doctor, and I have ways to keep you alive until you get slashed 3,600 times with a knife!" Sebastian said icily."I…"Brayden trembled as he pulled out his phone. His mind had gone blank, and it took him a long time to find his wife's phone number. Her name was Darla Wyllis. "Hello? Honey? A handbag caught my eye today, but that stupid store actually refused to give it to me for free! It's a lousy handbag that only costs about 500 thousand d
Jayden had only gone a few steps, but he had no choice but to stop. He turned and grimaced at the Berkeleys and Brayden, who were all looking in his direction.He was filled with regret. He should have made his escape earlier instead of coming back with Brayden. Egbert and Yorrick were clearly fools. One of them had maimed himself and ended up vomiting blood relentlessly, while the other stood there like an idiot for Sebastian to slap him. He would be surprised if either of them could defeat Sebastian.As everyone was watching him, Jayden had no choice but to return to his previous spot. He looked nervously at Yorrick, praying inwardly that the old man would somehow get more skilled. He couldn't let Sebastian screw him over!"This is the last slap, old man. Do you still have any feeling in your face?" Sebastian asked, raising his palm."Damn you!" Yorrick swore violently. However, one of his front teeth had been knocked out earlier when he was slapped, and air escaped noisily t
The entire left side of Yorrick's face had become so numb that he couldn't feel a thing."Young man, just now you already hit me—""I only slapped you once!" Sebastian interrupted, holding up a finger.Yorrick spat and said, "How could one slap have made so many noises?"Sebastian replied innocently, "Everyone here can testify that I only hit you once, and I did it very slowly too. You all saw it, didn't you?"The onlookers nodded quickly, especially the experts from the law enforcement hall. They still couldn't figure out how an expert at Yorrick's level could have been sent flying through the air by a weak slap like that from Sebastian.What puzzled them the most was that Yorrick had clearly landed in a very safe spot. Why had he insisted on rolling into a pile of broken glass and gotten such a gaping wound on his face?"Fine!" Yorrick clenched his teeth and suppressed the pain in the right side of his face. "There are still two moves left!" he said viciously."Will you com
Sebastian nodded slightly. Yorrick had probably killed the young man because the latter was proficient in mystic spells and was already on the brink of the threshold. That could be the only reason for Yorrick's senseless deedThere were some people who couldn't bear seeing people who were stronger than them, which was why they made their move before their opponent could grow and develop."Are you really going to concede three moves to me, old man?" Sebastian stepped forward, grinning."Of course!" Yorrick answered, staring arrogantly at him.He still hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary with Sebastian, so he assumed that Sebastian was just an ordinary guy. He had probably only been able to defeat so many experts—including Egbert—because he had used some kind of trick. Egbert had lost because he had fallen into Sebastian's trap, not because of the latter's skills. That was why Egbert ended up suffering from the backlash of the ghost he had nurtured and lost his powers."I'll
"Young man, you're so cruel. Have you ever thought of the consequences of your actions?" Yorrick asked. He put his hands behind his back as he walked slowly toward Sebastian. Sebastian eyed Yorrick, whose training was at least on the same level as Egbert's. Besides, what he had studied was also a kind of spell. He and Sebastian specialized in the same study.The moment Yorrick got angry, Sebastian had sensed the faint power of Dainist principles from him."No blows are kind, and neither are harsh words! Why do you people feel that others should meekly allow you to beat them up? When your people are injured, you immediately think of it as the other party's mistake! That doesn't make any sense!" Sebastian answered coldly."Mr. Irving, kill that asshole!" Kayden said viciously. He was still clutching his crotch with one hand while he pointed at Sebastian with his other hand. Beside them, Jayden said defiantly, "Mr. Irving, you must not let this guy go! He's ruthless and extremely
Huh? Egbert frowned involuntarily. He had never felt that way before. What was going on? There was a loud blast, and the gigantic statue suddenly appeared out of thin air. At the same time, Egbert suddenly felt his blood churning inside him, and he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.He was about to turn and run when a black bolt of light hit him in the back. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew through the air like a broken kite. "Oh! Are you actually a sadist, old man?" Sebastian asked, smiling.Before Egbert could scramble up again, yet another bolt of dark light flew toward him."Damn it!"Egbert could no longer be conscious of his image and dignity. He swore at once. The dark light was aimed at his energy reserve. If he was hit, his decades of training would be completely ruined. However, he had plenty of life experience and had been through many such situations. When he saw the dark light flying toward him, he rolled across the floor like a bal
