However, human greed never followed such rules. In reality, the younger someone was, the less they feared death. Many young people who were around fifteen or sixteen dared to face death in confrontation with others. On the contrary, as people grew older, they often became more afraid of death. Even someone like Mr. Chardon, who was a cultivator, was not exempt from this commonality. In fact, he was more afraid of death than most people.When Mr. Chardon saw that Charlie was not showing him any mercy at all, he cried and said, “Charlie, back then, I was also acting under orders. The British Lord gave me an order I couldn't refuse! If you want to avenge your parents, you should go after the British Lord and not a lowly pawn such as myself…”Charlie sarcastically remarked, “Oh? You’re selling your boss out for your own gain now? Well, if you honestly reveal everything about the Qing Eliminating Society, I might give you a quick death so that you won’t suffer such a horrible death!”M
The pineal gland was considered the dwelling place of the Nine True Paths in cultivation. Some say it corresponded to the pineal gland in human anatomy, capable of secreting various hormones with subtle and mystical effects on the body. However, with age, its functions gradually deteriorate and would become almost ornamental.For cultivators, activating the pineal gland signified unlocking a whole new world. Activating the pineal gland involved using Reiki to unlock the pineal gland located at the center of the brain.The pineal gland was also known as the upper elixir field. Generally speaking, it was easy to activate the lower elixir field, and it was not difficult to open up all eight meridians. However, only extremely skilled cultivators could activate their upper elixir field. For cultivators, this spot was the supreme realm of the Nine True Paths, where human consciousness originated. If one could activate the pineal gland and cultivate in the right manner, one would not only
However, thirty years had passed, and none of the four great earls had actually activated the formation inside their pineal glands. This was mainly because over the past thirty years, they hadn't encountered any life-threatening super crises at all. Although Mr. Jothurn did face a life-or-death crisis in Cyprus, that situation was unique. The three close-defense missiles that attacked him were too fast and too powerful, and the method of attack was too brutal. It was just a blink of an eye from the moment he sensed danger to his death. He didn't even have time to think about the pineal gland that the British Lord had opened for them thirty years ago.Moreover, it would be futile even if he remembered it because he didn't have enough time to open the formation inside the pineal gland.Mr. Chardon had the perfect opportunity now. With this thought, Mr. Chardon looked at Charlie, chuckled bitterly, and secretly activated the technique to activate his pineal gland, then sneered at Char
Ruby, who was hidden in the shadows, did not notice anything unusual. When she heard Mr. Chardon’s words just now, she knew that he had already activated his pineal gland, and she instantly heaved a sigh of relief.Although she did not get along with Mr. Chardon, the death of Mr. Jothurn gave her a feeling as if they were interconnected. Now that Mr. Chardon had activated his pineal gland, he could be considered to have escaped from the clutches of death!At this moment, Mr. Chardon’s expression became even more ferocious at an extremely fast pace! It only took a second or two for his pineal gland to be activated, and he felt a blazing and incomparable raging fire ignite in his brain. This fire, like a supernova explosion, rapidly expanded and strengthened! The pressure on his pineal gland was also increasing!It felt as if a huge mountain had been forcibly stuffed into his brain! The excruciating torment was comparable to the eighteen layers of hell!Charlie also realized the enor
The intense and thunderous explosion instantly reverberated throughout Aurous Hill, even waking up the entire city from its nocturnal slumber. The valley where the explosion occurred had its dense vegetation obliterated, forming a circular blank space with a radius of several hundred meters.Mr. Chardon had completely vanished without a trace, his entire being vaporized, leaving no residues behind.The notion of ‘a soul surviving despite the death of the physical body’ was nothing but a deception. It was an empty promise given to them, luring them to sacrifice themselves generously.Mr. Chardon only realized at the moment of his death that the formation the British Lord had left inside their pineal gland thirty years ago was not something capable of preserving a strand of their souls. Instead, it was a tremendously powerful self-destructive formation. In a critical life-or-death situation, what they believed to be a hope for being reborn had turned out to be a means to perish with t
She knew that today's explosion after Mr. Chardon had detonated his pineal gland meant that both he and Charlie were now dead. This presented the perfect opportunity for her to disappear without a trace. At this point, she had no desire to return to the Qing Eliminating Society or continue serving the British Lord. In her eyes, this person was extremely terrifying, and staying by his side would likely lead her to an outcome that was no worse than Mr. Chardon’s fate.Instead of that, she thought it would be better for her to seize the opportunity to vanish from the world. After recovering from her injuries, she could find a suitable place to live in seclusion and make the most of the remaining two years of her life. For her, living freely for two years would be much better than living for another two hundred years with the British Lord.With this thought in mind, she endured the intense pain and continued to crawl laboriously into the depths of the mountains.-Three minutes ago, at
Having said that, Albert, who was in a state of panic, immediately rushed out and jumped onto the helicopter waiting in the courtyard directly. He then anxiously told the pilot who was on standby, “Quick! Take off!”At this moment, a figure quickly ran out, and Merlin jumped onto the helicopter with just a few quick steps, saying, “Mr. Albert, I'll go with you!”Albert hurriedly said, “Chief Lammy, I am acting on Master Wade's orders to ensure the safety of you and the Acker family members. It's better for you to stay here!”Merlin shook his head and said, “Mr. Albert, don't forget that I am a police officer. If there's any unexpected situation, especially in investigating the scene, no one is more professional than me!”After some consideration, Albert agreed and said, “I’ll have to trouble you then, Chief Lammy!” After saying that, he turned to the pilot and said, “Take off!”The helicopter increased the throttle and rose from the ground, speeding toward Willow Manor. As they
Merlin’s heart suddenly skipped a beat when he heard Albert say that the shell fragments in his hand belonged to Charlie. He muttered to himself, “Charlie’s belongings? Doesn't that mean he has met with a mishap?”With that said, he quickly lowered his head to carefully examine the traces left by the explosion. By observing the direction of the explosion shockwave, he then found more fragments of the Tridacna on the ground.His face turned pale, and he muttered, “Charlie’s belongings are so close to the center of the explosion. Doesn't that mean he was right in the line of fire when the explosion happened?!”Upon hearing this, Albert’s eyes welled up with tears, and he burst into tears. He was in disbelief as he said to Merlin, “Chief Lammy, Master Wade is incredibly powerful. This kind of explosion shouldn't harm him at all, right?”Merlin squatted on the ground, picked up a piece of hardened black soil, rubbed it forcefully, and then sniffed it. He had a worried expression as h
