Chapter 1221

That evening, Viper slammed a bottle of liquor onto the table with a loud thud inside a villa in Kashmere."That hits the spot!"He had a habit of downing an entire bottle of liquor every evening and had never skipped a day.Just as he stood up and let out a satisfied belch, he became terrified when he realized he couldn't move."What is going on?"It felt like a massive mountain was pressing down on him. He couldn't move a muscle, and breathing became more challenging with each passing moment.At that moment, someone appeared in his view, and his eyes widened in horror.It was Felix.Viper recognized him immediately and understood why he had appeared. He wondered when he had been exposed and why Felix was targeting him.He knew it would be pointless to try and fight him. After all, Felix was in the Grandmaster Realm. It would be impossible to escape or resist him. Fear gripped him as Felix raised his hand to strike him. Unbearable pain overwhelmed Viper. However, it was gon

Felix would lose all perception of the outside world when using the Soul Manifestation technique. If danger struck, he'd be completely helpless. Hence, he would never use it unless absolutely necessary or unless he had someone he trusted to guard him."The threat in your soul has been removed," Felix said. "You can choose to talk, or I'll make you talk. I'm sure you know where the difference lies."Viper grit his teeth as he realized he had no choice but to trust Felix."Hall of Souls!" he spat.After realizing that he was still alive upon uttering the words, Viper's eyes widened in shock.Felix wasn't just a powerful martial artist in the Grandmaster Realm. His control over souls was just as terrifying. The people who had bound his soul had said that it was unbreakable. So what was going on?Felix frowned."Hall of Souls? What is that?" he asked.It sounded like an organization to Felix.Now that he didn't have to worry about dying, Viper's anger started to bubble up."I was

Felix had previously sensed the faint residue left in Chloe's mouth, which was diluted after being washed away. Even so, Felix had been able to determine the medicinal ingredients used.As he inhaled the pure, undiluted scent of the serum, he realized he had been overlooking a crucial truth.The women who had supposedly been cured of their body odor by the Malevolent Phantoms' methods weren't actually healed in the way everyone assumed. Their new, faint fragrance wasn't the key result of the serum—it directly affected their souls.The moment Felix took a whiff, he instantly sensed something invading his soul. However, since he hadn't ingested it directly, the effect dissipated almost as soon as it appeared.Nonetheless, it was clear to him that the serum wasn't a remedy for body odor. Its real target was the soul."Marley, take him back for interrogation!" he ordered.Felix rushed away as Marley, who was standing guard outside with the others, entered. He had already pieced tog

Just as the gaping mouth was about to descend on Chloe, the middle-aged man was sent flying sideways. It crashed into the wall and exploded into a mist of blood. Only his severed head rolled to the ground."A martial artist? You're looking for death!" the man snarled.Even in that state, the man remained arrogant. His body had already begun regenerating as he roared in fury.The one who had struck at the critical moment, of course, was Felix. He let out a sigh of relief. Chloe would've been doomed if he had been even a second later.20 minutes later, the middle-aged man glared up at Felix with rage. At this point, all that was left of him was his head and neck."As expected, the soul energy of an A-tier Malevolent Phantom is ridiculously strong. It took this long just to wear it down," Felix commented.After some quick calculations, Felix realized that only someone who mastered the Transcendent Realm could pull this off. Other martial artists simply wouldn't be able to last until

As the sun rose, Marley arrived at Felix's office."Sir, all six prisoners awaiting execution have been brought in," he reported.Felix stood up, saying, "Let's go."After hesitating, Marley caught up with him and asked, "Are you sure it'll work, sir? These prisoners don't have body odor."Felix sneered. "I believe that they targeted people with body odor for two reasons. For one, they would be desperate to seek a cure, which is why they would choose to believe them no matter how ridiculous it sounds. "Secondly, a person with body odor would likely not have any friends. If they die, the commotion it would cause will be minimal."So, the serum works on anyone. The body odor angle is just a cover."Marley nodded unconsciously after hearing this.It made sense. After all, it would be nearly impossible to get an ordinary person to visit a specific clinic for a dental procedure without questioning it. However, if you told someone suffering from severe body odor that cutting out the

"Is it really okay to feed all six prisoners to the Malevolent Phantom back-to-back like this, sir? Isn't it happening a bit too fast?" Marley asked.Felix stood by the window, gazing outside without turning around. "This is the first time I've seen a Malevolent Phantom react like it's been poisoned. That means the Hall of Souls is playing a long game. To them, only the outcome matters, and the process doesn't. "The fact that they gave Viper the entire batch of serum all at once proves that. The dosage must be excessive. No one would take the risk of running short. In that case, Chloe's survival is just an irrelevant side effect."Of course, this is all just my speculation. I'm not completely sure if I'm right, but this is the best chance we have to grab onto the Hall of Souls's tail."After a brief silence, Marley asked, "What I don't understand is how the Hall of Souls can be so certain that this particular A-tier Malevolent Phantom will kill everyone who takes the serum. What i

"The old monster?" Felix was stunned. Had Billy already figured it out just from that tiny detail?"What do you mean? You managed to tell who it is based on this detail?" Felix questioned.Billy let out a wry chuckle before continuing, "Yeah, I wish I hadn't. But think about it. How many people in Dragonia have real expertise in soul manipulation? How many people can mess with someone's soul and use a red thread like you described? There aren't many possibilities."After taking another sip of coffee, he seemed to be making up for the mouthful he had just spat out in shock."There used to be plenty of dark arts in soul-related cultivation techniques. Something as legitimate as the Phaeron Codex, which is a superior cultivation method, is nearly impossible to master. The restrictions are too strict."Even someone with my level of talent was personally turned away when I tried. I didn't meet the conditions. So tell me. If someone has already tasted the power of soul cultivation, woul

"Fine, you win," Felix said. "All your massage expenses in Kashmere are on me."Billy chuckled. "Now you're finally getting it. Alright, I'll tell you. "A long time ago, during a period of great turmoil, the Phaeron Codex and a few other legitimate soul cultivation techniques suddenly emerged. Martial artists flocked to them because soul cultivation was like opening a whole new door. But you know how strict the conditions for cultivation are. "Hence, human nature took over. People started experimenting and taking shortcuts. In no time, alternative soul cultivation techniques emerged, including the dark arts."The interesting thing is, the Red Moon Reincarnation Requiem was actually created by someone who had successfully cultivated the Phaeron Codex. He was naturally arrogant, extremely gifted, and didn't want to follow in the footsteps of those before him. "Hence, he decided to forge his own path and succeeded at that. However, what he created turned out to be a dark art. When

"That fatso told you, didn't he?" Gerald asked.At the mere mention of the Scarlet Lord, Gerald immediately knew what the question was about."Yeah, he's right here next to me. And by the way, that masseuse just now? He was the one who called for her," Felix said.Gerald immediately started cursing."That useless idiot! His mentor stayed pure and disciplined his entire life, and somehow, he ended up with such a disgrace as a mentee. And the audacity! He dares to call for masseuse Number 12 just like me? What kind of taste does he have?"Luckily, Billy wasn't eavesdropping. He was too busy chatting away with the masseuse, holding her hand like they were old friends."Let's focus on what's important, Mr. Hoffman. What do you know about the Scarlet Lord? Could he still be alive? According to Billy, there's a possibility."Gerald got back to the topic at hand."There's no way I can give you a definite answer. After all, it was that old bastard who went to kill the Scarlet Lord, not

Just as the figure turned to leave, the other added one last instruction."The higher-ups don't want to draw too much attention from headquarters yet. So, when you retrieve that A-tier Malevolent Phantom, try not to kill anyone unless absolutely necessary.""Understood!"…At a shopping mall in Kashmere, Felix was browsing through stores, already having bought several items.It had been 24 hours since the A-tier Malevolent Phantom had consumed its last death row inmate. Had the Hall of Souls really given up? There had been no movement so far, and Felix was starting to feel frustrated. If this opportunity slipped away, getting another wouldn't be so easy.His plan couldn't be delayed for too long. After discussing with Xena, they had set a final deadline of 48 hours. If the Hall of Souls still didn't make a move by then, they would transport the A-tier Malevolent Phantom back to headquarters and hand it over to Elliott for research.If it were any other A-tier Malevolent Phanto
