Chapter 585

Author: Dreamy Fire
"Lady Grey, you should have told us you were coming! I would have greeted you outside!" All eyes turned toward the voice. No one else had made such a grand entrance, so this was clearly someone extraordinary.

Oddly enough, the one who had greeted her was not Reginald, who was having his birthday today. It was his brother, Dominic Zimmerman, instead. Many people thought it was strange.

"George, what's going on? Your uncle seems like he's trying to steal the spotlight."

Hearing Ryan's words, George furrowed his brows too. "I had no idea about this. When did Uncle Dominic get to know people from the Elders' Council? And this woman called Lady Grey must hold quite a position there.

Felix looked over. "Have you guys heard of the Elders' Council too?"

Now, it was their turn to be surprised. Ryan quickly explained, "The Elders' Council is an organization created by the Eight Great Martial Families. Of course, we know it. Is this your first time hearing about it, Mr. Zeller?"

    "The third-generation Grandmaster of Moonshadow Alliance should be here by now. Let me call and check," Felix said.George gave a bitter smile. "Mr. Zeller, don't bother! It's not your fault. No one expected Uncle Dominic to have this ace up his sleeve. Even if Moonshadow Alliance showed up now, it wouldn't help." Seeing Felix's confusion, Ryan whispered an explanation, "Moonshadow Alliance is indeed powerful in Dragonia, and few dare disrespect them as you saw with the Walsh family. "But the Eight Great Martial Families are beyond that league. Moonshadow Alliance could barely challenge one or two of the lowest-ranked families, and that's only with their founder involved. "George's uncle has actually managed to invite Lady Grey of the Elders' Council. She seems influential just from her title. Offending her would mean making enemies of all Eight Great Martial Families. After all, the Council represents them." Could Moonshadow Alliance barely challenge the lowest-ranked familie

    Felix whirled around to look. The seat beside him had been empty as it was reserved for the third-generation Grandmaster of Moonshadow Alliance, Christie. Now, someone sat there. He would not have noticed if it had not been for George's dramatic reaction. But this seemed impossible. With Felix's capabilities, he should have noticed someone approaching so close even without actively sensing it. And yet… "Karina?" Felix was dumbfounded. The person suddenly sitting beside him was his fellow apprentice Karina. George and Ryan were too shocked by her sudden appearance to notice how casually he was addressing her, or they would have asked questions. After all, they were martial artists too, and they had not seen her arrive. "What? Are you not happy to see me?" Karina was dressed casually today. She was wearing light blue jeans and a yellow T-shirt with her hair tied up. "Of course I am. I was just quite surprised," Felix said.Upon seeing them chatting with each other, the other t

    "She's my godsister," Felix replied.Karina did not even bother to get up. She just nodded to greet them. Victoria immediately seized this opportunity to insult them. "Hah! One person gets invited, and the whole family has to come along and eat! Why are you even bringing your relatives to a birthday party? "What, have you never been to such a fancy event before, Felix? And this godsister of yours is ill-mannered as you. Everyone else is standing while you two stay seated." Dominic was harsher. He even pointed toward the exit. "Both of you, get out! What an embarrassment. George, if you ever bring friends like this to public events again, I will throw you out of the family." Felix's body tensed at these words. Stiffly, he turned to look at Karina. Their eyes met as she asked casually, "Can I kill them?" Felix gulped. This was his worst fear. In normal circumstances, Dominic and Victoria would already be headless. The fact she was asking showed she was really trying to respect

    Of course, Reginald understood what George meant. He had just been too shocked. Who could have imagined Felix's godsister would have such authority over Pearly? "Mr. Zeller, allow me to toast your godsister." He did not dare address Karina directly, so he spoke to Felix instead, who was closer to him. "Sorry, Uncle Reginald. Karina doesn't drink." Her coming here was already pushing limits. There was no way she would get up and drink. "Of course, of course. I'll drink to show my respect then. Please enjoy yourselves." Reginald could not care less about the refusal. He was overjoyed. Dominic thought he was so powerful, yet his "important guest" had been immediately put in her place. It served them right! Standing there, Dominic and Victoria's expressions were dark, but they did not dare to make a sound. After all, what could they do if even Pearly had run away in disgrace? "Karina, you can go now," Felix said.Karina nodded. "Alright." George's matter was essentially res

    Madeline smiled without saying anything. Forget her marriage to Luke. She knew well that even the pasta business would not have been this smooth without Felix's help. Starting a business meant dealing with countless officials and stakeholders. Only Luke's sister's connections made it so easy. And those conveniences did not fall from the sky—they came through Felix. "Maddy, you should go. I'll head to the airport myself," Felix said.Felix's sudden words seemed odd to Madeline until she spotted someone approaching aggressively. "Okay. I'm planning to visit Canraville in a few days. We'll meet up with Jack then." Almost as soon as Madeline left, Asher stood before Felix with cold eyes. "Come with me!" Despite the commanding tone, Felix remained calm. "Are we that close?" Asher tried to grab him. It was impressive that he had reached the Ultimate Mortal Realm at such a young age, but he was no match for Felix. When Asher's arm was caught, his whole body became immobilized. "

    Xena came home to find a table full of food that night. Puzzled, she turned to Alice Gunner, their housekeeper. "Are we having company tonight?" Alice said with a smile, "I'm not sure. Mr. Summers Senior just asked me to prepare all this food." Her grandfather did? Xena figured Curtis must be expecting friends over since nothing else made sense. "You're home, Xena. Wash up and join me for a drink." As Curtis walked down the stairs, he beamed like a teenager in love. Xena stared at him, dumbfounded. "What's got you in such high spirits, Grandpa?" "Let's discuss it over dinner." While Xena poured them both some wine, her curiosity burned. "Can you tell me now?" As it turned out, this feast was not for guests. He was just in a great mood. "My greatest burden has finally been lifted. Isn't that worth celebrating?" Xena did not even know he had any burdens. "Will you tell me about it?" Curtis nodded. His eyes were filled with nostalgia and memories. "Long ago, I hurt som

    "Yes. Let's start dating after you come back from Medic's Haven," Xena said.Felix stood there stunned for a long moment before asking, "Are you serious? What about your grandfather?" "He's given us his blessing and said he won't interfere anymore. I'm not sure exactly what changed his mind, but he's approved." Felix could barely contain his excitement. His feelings for Xena were genuine. And now that he had a chance to cure Madam Spring's poison without dying in the process, everything seemed perfect. Without thinking, he swept Xena up in his arms and spun her around. She did not resist his actions either. After dedicating so many years to her career and reaching the pinnacle as the Phoenix Warlord, perhaps it was also time to find happiness in love. There was nowhere higher to climb professionally, so why not have it all? …Later, Felix met up with Edmund. They then flew to a remote city where a car awaited them at the airport. "Is it your first time visiting Medic's Ha

    The man approaching was none other than Ethan. "Hah, looks like Medic's Haven hasn't been standing still these past years." Felix smiled. The poison he had used was not particularly sophisticated, but it was not something just anyone could detect and neutralize either. "Are you admitting that you've poisoned me then?" As Ethan walked closer, his smile vanished. He never would have imagined that someone could poison him without detection. After all, he was considered a rising star at Medic's Haven. If he hadn't happened to deliver something to a Supreme Elder, he would be dead by now. Instead of answering, Felix turned to Edmund, who had not said a word since they arrived. "So bringing me here to 'resolve things' was just a cover for my execution, wasn't it?" Edmund sighed. "Felix, I'm sorry, but my hands are tied. Poisoning a member of Medic's Haven is an act of war against our entire organization. If Lady Summers hadn't become involved, we would have taken you by force inste

    "Back then, I was an S-rank Malevolent Phantom," Donna said. "There were tons of restrictions placed on me, so I couldn't say much even if I wanted to. "But now that I've reforged my soul, those restrictions are gone. My soul power and memories are all intact, so you should understand what that means."Felix's interest immediately sparked. He knew almost nothing about the Rank-Ascending Competition, and neither did Gerald. Funny how a former Malevolent Phantom might actually be his best source of information."I don't know everything, but I can tell you what I do know, as it could be of a little help. First off, our wave of Malevolent Phantoms was just the first. "The next group coming will be from the Orion family. They're extremely powerful. One of their ancestors won the Rank-Ascending Competition generations ago. They've already contacted multiple planets, and Earth is their next target."That caught Felix's attention, as Gerald had mentioned something about powerful familie

    Felix was startled. Cordelia's reaction meant something serious had happened."Mom! What's wrong?" he asked.It wasn't until he spoke that Cordelia seemed to realize her beloved Felix was awake. Without a second thought, she rushed over to him. "Felix, you're awake? Are you feeling okay? When we found you, you were covered in blood from head to toe."Felix wasn't concerned about himself."I'm fine, really. But what about you, Mom? What happened?"His question seemed to snap her out of it. Since he was alright, her expression lit up with joy."I'm just so happy. It's amazing news! Nerissa is pregnant!"Felix froze, completely caught off guard. Soon, panic kicked in. "She's pregnant? Wait. Does that mean I'm going to be a dad?"Even Nerissa looked shocked. She had only started noticing some symptoms and had gone for a checkup with Cordelia. She hadn't expected to be pregnant for real."That's right, you little rascal! Now do you see? Your mom's instincts were spot on! Look at

    Just then, the Ancient Sage's meridians finally stabilized. Without wasting a second, he unleashed his strongest move once again."Lightning Matrix!"A huge mouthful of blood burst from his lips. His face went deathly pale as he activated the secret technique. Disregarding the harm he was inflicting on his body, he struck Felix. This time, he unleashed the true Lightning Matrix, not the lighter version he used against Felix previously. "Bring it on!" Felix was completely fearless now. Although his energy was locked in place and his body was paralyzed, he radiated power."I'm about to compete in the Rank-Ascending Competition. There's no way I'll die here."It was like something inside him snapped. Felix suddenly burst into motion. Instead of passively handling the attacks, he charged straight toward the three lightning palms crashing down on him.Even the Ancient Sage was shaken. He could hardly believe that a battle could escalate to this level.When the smoke finally cleared,

    At that moment, within the dark clouds above, lightning began to gather. Soon, even the naked eye could see it taking the shape of a massive human palm. Felix unleashed his Dragon Punches, throwing everything he had to take down the enormous lightning palm that was crashing down on him.At that moment, Auroris emerged from the sand. Despite its disheveled fur and obvious injuries, it showed no fear of death. Standing beside Felix, it was ready to face the Ancient Sage's terrifying attack.A deafening explosion filled the air, forming a massive crater in the ground. It was more horrifying than before. A wave of sand was blasted upward, suspended for a few seconds before falling back to the ground. Stray arcs of lightning crackled in the air."What a pity," the Ancient Sage said.His breath was a little ragged. During the intense battle, his final strike had pushed his body to its limit. He felt sorry that Auroris, the beast he had grown fond of, had perished with Felix.A sudden

    "You old fool! How dare you think of laying your hands on my friend? You're asking for death!" Felix roared.He coughed up blood uncontrollably, and with a thought, Auroris charged straight at the Ancient Sage.While taking advantage of the opportunity, Felix used the Seven Points of Transcendence to heal himself. With Auroris's help, he believed he could now go toe-to-toe with the Ancient Sage."Ha! This is truly excellent!" The Ancient Sage was overjoyed as he fought with Auroris. Though Auroris's strength couldn't match his own, each of Auroris's attacks was infused with a soul component, which made them incredibly formidable.The Ancient Sage felt that such a rare beast was wasted on Felix. "You little thing, why don't you just acknowledge me as your master?"Having evolved once more, Auroris had grown significantly stronger. Its intelligence was never in question—when it saw that its soul-based attacks did not affect the Ancient Sage, it immediately shifted its focus entire

    As they spoke, Felix had already activated Lone Paragon, specifically its enhancement for martial strength.The saying "strike first to gain the upper hand" held especially true when facing someone as powerful as the Ancient Sage. At that moment, the Phaeron Projection appeared, and one of the most powerful secret techniques from the Six Word Mantra was unleashed in a sudden strike.The next instant, Felix's expression changed drastically. He raised his arms with a crack, and after a deafening impact, he was thrown backward."Hmph! How dare you show off such petty tricks in front of me?" The Ancient Sage scoffed. "Stick to your own path."Felix gave a bitter smile. Clearly, the Ancient Sage had more than just that soul-reflecting mirror among his collection of treasures.After defeating the S-tier Malevolent Phantoms, Felix had already reached Aetherium Realm, so his soul energy was pretty formidable.Yet, even with that powerful soul attack, he hadn't managed to injure the Ancie

    After returning to Newtown, Felix's life gradually settled into a steady rhythm. Naturally, he informed his family about his upcoming departure.Thankfully, both Cordelia and Nerissa were understanding people. They didn't question him. Instead, they offered their full support and encouragement.Jack, Madeline, and the others also made a trip to Newtown at Felix's invitation. He didn't tell them anything specific, treating the meetup as a casual reunion.Days passed, and with only half a month remaining, the inevitable finally came.Felix was out shopping with Nerissa that day when an SUV suddenly pulled over beside the street. The window rolled down, revealing an ordinary-looking old man behind the wheel, staring directly at Felix."Nerissa, you should head back first," Felix said.Sensing something was up, Nerissa clutched his arm tightly. "Honey, I'm going to call Eloise and the others."They all knew about the existence of the Ancient Sage, so the moment she saw the man, she

    Xena didn't look the least bit afraid. Instead, she simply turned her head and smiled."You must be Donna, the S-tier Malevolent Phantom Specter mentioned. You're the one who can peacefully coexist with Felix, right?"That's right. The newcomer was Donna. In fact, when she called Felix earlier, she was already in the city."Yes." Donna nodded.Without hesitation, Xena tossed the Mystical Explosive Orb over."I'm not interested in this thing. It's yours now. Just... don't kill me."Donna's eyes held a curious glint, but she still reached out and caught the orb."It seems like you've really changed a lot, and your instincts are sharp. How'd you know I came to kill you?"Xena stayed silent.Donna turned and walked away. "Whether I kill you or not doesn't make much difference to me. I'll spare you this time. Who knows, maybe someday, you and Felix will clash again."…Later that day, Donna sat across from Felix in a small restaurant."This is where our partnership ends," he sai

    Was Felix actually qualified to learn the Phaeron Codex? Why? How was that even possible?As someone who practiced the Red Moon Reincarnation Requiem, the Scarlet Lord had faced all kinds of enemies. Even when he couldn't win, he could usually survive. There was one exception—someone who could cultivate the Phaeron Codex. That was a threat he couldn't possibly contend with.However, the Phaeron Codex was nearly impossible to find, let alone master. On top of that, its cultivation requirements were absurdly high. In all these years, no one had managed to learn it until now. And that someone was Felix?The Scarlet Lord knew then that he wasn't getting out of this alive. Running into Felix was like a rat running into a tiger. No—it was worse.Now suppressed by the Phaeron Projection, he couldn't unleash a single technique. This was the fatal weakness of the Red Moon Reincarnation Requiem. And who would've thought the second person to master the Phaeron Codex would appear at just this
