Seth nodded. "Good. You have guts. I admire that about you."He put his index and middle fingers together, creating a flickering wisp of sword aura.Ember finally felt a hint of danger from the murderous aura openly emanating from this man. Flustered, she shouted, "Are you crazy? Do you actually plan to kill me?!"Seth did not waste any more words on her. He slowly raised his right hand and aimed it at her head.That was when Ember finally lost all her composure. She had only been able to walk all over the people around her because the others were afraid to die. Her status struck fear in their hearts.However, once she met someone like Seth, who was not afraid of her influence, she was in more trouble than she had ever envisioned."You can't kill me! My father is a Gold Core Advanced Stage cultivator with the Longstones family!"Despite her screams, Seth's eyes did not waver. He did not stop closing in on her."I'm on my way to take the Spirit Assemblage Sect’s entrance exami

"What?!" Monte slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Seth angrily. "You killed Ember?!"Seth nodded. "That's right. She was rampaging down the street, trying to kill me. I merely acted in self-defense.Monte was shaking with rage. Ember was his handpicked successor, yet she had died before she could even join the sect.Despite his bloodshot eyes, however, Monte maintained some rationality. "Which family are you from?!"Since Seth dared to kill Ember, Monte assumed that he came from an equally powerful family.However, Seth shook his head. "I'm an independent cultivator. I don't belong to any sect or family.”"A mere independent cultivator dares to kill my beloved disciple? I’ll kill you!" Monte was seconds away from attacking Seth when Claudia called out to stop him."Monte, wait!" Claudia stood up. “This young man looks strong. Let me evaluate his talent first."Monte held back his anger. "But Claudia, he killed my beloved disciple. He must die!"Claudia stayed calm. "I

“This isn’t a grudge that can be resolved with just a few words.“Why don’t we lower Alfred's cultivation level to match Seth's? Then the two of them can fight.“If Seth wins, That’s the end of it. And if Alfred wins, we won’t let him kill Seth either. Alfred can just cut off one of Seth’s arms and demand compensation of two million spiritual stones. What do you think of this suggestion?"Monte was a wily old fox. The Longstones had given him plenty of benefits over the years, so he had to speak up for Alfred. However, he could not risk making an enemy of Claudia, so he came up with a compromise.Alfred thought for a moment and nodded. "Alright. I'm willing to make some concessions for Monte and Claudia’s sakes."He was trying to save his own face, too. He would never let Seth go, of course. He had to kill the boy.However, he could not kill him in front of Claudia.Claudia looked at Seth. "What do you think, my dear disciple?"If Seth refused, Claudia was more than ready to us

"There's danger ahead," Seth said suddenly.Claudia paused slightly before using her mind energy. She then smiled. "Did you make a mistake? How could there be danger? I didn't sense anything, so how could you?"However, the air was turbulent as soon as she finished speaking. Countless black clouds rolled as they swirled in the air like serpents, forming an overbearing formation that surrounded the two.Then, practitioners wearing black robes and demon masks appeared. The eyes beneath their mask gleamed coldly, evilly, and greedily.Claudia's expression changed. "Oh no, they're from the Phantom Sect."Seth knew about the sect. They were the so-called phantom practitioners who devoured souls for cultivation. It was an evil sect. The practitioners were notorious in the cultivation world and hid in dark corners like rats. He did not expect to be so lucky to run into them as soon as he arrived.Seth scanned the place with a slightly solemn expression.There were 67 phantom practiti

"Where am I? Fire. It's all fire..."Claudia's slurred voice rang in Seth's ears.It was not over. Half of the phantom practitioners were still alive, scared out of their wits by the terrifying strength Seth displayed. Everyone performed their Unique Technique and erupted with an overwhelming power at the cost of decades of cultivation experience and a portion of their life force. They attacked in the same direction to break through, but Seth would not allow them.The Endless Souls Flag flew out, and three battle spirits that had reached Nascent Soul Realm rushed out. They roared joyfully as they swallowed up the souls floating around.These phantom practitioners were best at spiritual attacks. Having absorbed the souls of countless innocent people, their souls were powerful. The three battle spirits would gain a lot of benefits from swallowing them.Seth had no time for Claudia's antics. He opened his mouth and spat out the Phoenix Sword, the Meteor Sword, and the Dragon Tooth
