At that moment, a slender figure came flying in and landed on the roof of the main hall. With a beautiful, fae-like face and fair skin, she donned a long white dress.If Darryl was here, he would definitely be astonished. Even after so many years, Circe never changed in terms of appearance as though her age never caught up to her. Her skin was still fair like snow like an 18-year-old teenage girl.Circe looked at Josiah's dead body, then at Jeca, and then at the rest of the people. She shouted, "Members of the Mouse Sect, how treacherous all of you are! How dare all of you break into the Lange family territory?"The Falling Zen Temple had been deserted for many years. Since it was within the territory of the Lange family and was regarded as a historical site, the Lange family had listed it as a forbidden area.Jeca and the others did not respond. They held their breath and widened their eyes when they saw Circe.Beautiful… So beautiful!As her dress fluttered with the wind, her e
Jeca gulped when he felt the power of this attack. Unable to evade such a strike, he quickly activated his internal energy to form a protective barrier in front of him.Just as the shield was formed, Circe's attack shot toward Jeca, crashing right into the barrier. A hum was heard as the protection barrier shattered.The attack's remaining force did not slow down as it stabbed Jeca's body. As blood gushed out of his wound, he receded a few steps as his face instantly paled.'F*ck!' Jeca wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth and glared at Circe. 'What a vicious woman. Every attack she made was aimed to kill me!'Although he was enraged, he did not panic and instead smiled. "Miss Circe, there's no bitter and deep-seated hatred between us. Do you really need to kill me?"Circe bit her lip tightly, could not be bothered to spare Jeca a conversation. Thus, she moved and attacked Jeca again with her whip sword.The others reacted and quickly joined the fight with Circe. The
At that moment, Circe felt her mind go blank. She could clearly feel the area where the Red Bees stung was burning like fire. As the burn intensified, Circe felt dizzy and had trouble standing still.Despite that, she gritted her teeth and tried to stay calm, despite being shocked at how powerful these Red Bees were.Jeca smiled and extended his hand out, scattering some white-colored powder into the sky. The Red Bees calmed down and obediently flew back into the black wooden box. After claiming back all the Red Bees, Jeca smiled pleasantly at Circe. "Miss Circe, I told you just now, didn't I? You can't defeat me if I'm serious. Do you believe me now?"He slowly walked toward Circe."Get away! Don't come near me!" Circe could practically sense Jeca's malicious thoughts through his eyes. With her face flushed pink, she bit her lip and snapped, "If you dare touch me, I'll make sure you'll die without a burial place!"Her eyes looked humiliated and ashamed. She was the next in line t
Jeca's eyes flashed with greed when he saw Circe pass out. He would be satisfied with his life if he could taste the sweetness of the famous goddess of the Lange family. Before that, though, he needed to settle the beggar.Jeca shouted at the members of the Mouse Sect, "What are you waiting for? Kill him to avenge Altar Master Josiah!"The members took out their weapons and attacked Antigonus.A glint of malice flashed across Antigonus' eyes. "Ignorant insects! Since all of you want to die so badly, I'll fulfill your wishes."He raised his right hand. At that moment, the air around them was distorted. Following that, a deep crimson fireball appeared, created by concentrating the Power of the Fiend Soul.A second later, he waved his hand, and the fireball flew toward the crowd, leaving a deep crimson trace.Boom!The speed of the fireball looked slow, but it reached the crowd in the blink of an eye. With a loud explosion, the members of Mouse Sect, including Jeca, were set ablaze
Circe nodded. "Yes. I was stung by the poisonous bees they released, and that's why I passed out."A young disciple walked out and said solemnly, "Circe, when we found you, there were only you and the weird man at Falling Zen Temple. There were no other people."How could that be?Circe's eyebrows furrowed.How could so many people disappear suddenly?Tuji waved his hand. "Bring that stranger here.""Yes, Chief," answered two disciples and strode out of the conference hall.Not long later, they dragged the still-unconscious Antigonus to the hall. He was interrupted during his cultivation to recover, and that messed up the Power of the Fiend Soul. Later, he was forced to use his power to agglomerate the fireball. Thus, Antigonus was in danger.Tuji looked at Antigonus and said coldly, "Wake him up with water."A disciple went outside and got a bucket of cold water. He then poured the cold water from the top of Antigonus' head.Due to how cold the water was, Antigonus jolted aw
Antigonus knew he would easily be tracked down by Master Magaera's men with his current condition if he left the Lange family. Moreover, he truly did not have anywhere to go. Thus, he took the risk and requested to stay here.An uproar rang out in the hall. The elder and young disciples could not help and discuss."Stay? Do you know you're an outsider?""Do you know what place this is? You stand before the Lange family! Do you think you can stay just because you want to?""That's right. You have no right to join the Lange family!"The crowd did not hide the contempt they had for Antigonus in the discussion. To them, Antigonus was no different than a beggar. It was so hilarious to think Antigonus wanted to stay in the family.Antigonus looked indifferent to their remarks. However, he felt a wave of sick anger. 'Ignorant ants. How dare they look down and mock me? When I recover, I'll send all of you to hell.'At that moment, Tuji signaled the crowd to quiet down.He looked at Ant
Darryl's eyes lit up at the sight of Heather as he could not help but exclaim, "You've only gotten prettier in the days we haven't seen each other, Heather."Heather flushed bashfully at the compliment, joy aflutter in her chest.Darryl's gaze fell onto the baby in Heather's arms as they spoke. He stopped short before his expression darkened. "This baby…"As he spoke, a lump formed in Darryl's throat, stopping him from speaking any further.The baby was fair and plump with lively eyes that bore an uncanny appearance to Morticia's.Blood was thicker than water, and Darryl knew without asking that the baby was Morticia's.Everyone could not help but sigh all at once at the look on Darryl's face, their expressions turning melancholy.Following that, Chester strode forward to say to Darryl, "This is your baby. God, what a hard life he's had to live. It was just a while ago that this baby caused a huge misunderstanding between Ambrose and Heather…"As the words rang through the air,
A few seconds later, everyone returned to their senses.Chester set down his glass and replied solemnly, "I knew there was something off about that Sir Au."Dax was overwhelmed with emotion as he cried out, "F*ck, that Prince Auten sure has some nerve! I can't believe he fooled us."As he spoke, Dax stood up at once. "That bastard is cultivating in the private room at the back right now. I'm going to have his head."Dax had a fiery temper, and he could not hold back his fury upon knowing that someone was up to no good.However, had barely walked a few steps away when Chester stopped him. "Don't be rash, Dax. Let's not call about any alarm since we know his real identity."Darryl flashed a pained smile as he nodded in agreement. "Brother Chester is right. Prince Auten is a cunning man. Also, his powers might not be fully restored seeing as he's in another person's body, but he has divine power protecting him. You won't be any match for him."Dax sat heavily back onto his chair. "
