Elliot waved and frowned. "That's enough. Stop arguing. Apothecary, you said the man who came out last was in the Celestial Phase. Can you guess who he is?"Everyone looked at Harry after Elliot said that.Harry wiped his sweat in perplexion, waving while staring wide-eyed at the generals. "Wha…I couldn't even think straight then. How would I know who that is?" Then, he slapped his thigh and exclaimed as he recalled, "Ah. But I feel like I've heard his voice somewhere."Colton asked anxiously, "Where?"He wasn't the only one. The other generals grew tense too. Martial artists who had ever achieved the Celestial Phase were downright rare!Seeing their anxious yet anticipating looks, Harry scratched his head with a long face and said, "I can't recall. Please don't look at me like that, generals. You're making me nervous."The generals could only sigh. Then, Elliot stood and said solemnly, "Everyone, we bear a huge responsibility this round." He continued as a few generals frowned,
It was in the middle of the night. In the southern region of the Everest mountains was an old-growth forest spanning a radius of 30 miles. A massive mountain pass lay in the middle of the forest, surrounded by mountains.Twinkling lights embellished the mountain pass that was approximately six miles long. The lights were in the mountain depression, at the mountainside, and on the mountain foot.At a closer look, those were buildings scattered around the mountain pass with occasional silhouettes darting between them.The legendary Everest Sect.Because of the geographical characteristics and the mountain range, the magnetic field protected this area from the detection of satellites and drones.In a hall in one of the buildings, an elderly man in a black cloak, Marco Giverny, stood beneath the light. He stared solemnly at Earl and the others who were kneeling before him.Earl slept half of the day away after taking his medications. His wounds had hardly recovered, but he knew Tobia
"Sigh. Now that Elder Giverny sends us on this task, I'll just pray we won't encounter that man in the Celestial Phase. Alright. Let's leave tomorrow morning!" Garett shook his head and wryly smiled as he walked toward his residence.Thaddaeus had finally got a grasp of the situation, but killing Isaac…He thought of his dispirited daughter. What would she do if she found out he killed Isaac?That night, Thaddaeus was bound to be sleepless.An hour later, Thaddaeus stood on the balcony and stared into the starry night sky, deep in thought. He turned toward his daughter standing behind him, his silly daughter whom he loved and resented at the same time."Evie, have you thought about what I said?" Thaddaeus looked at Evie calmly.Since they entered Everest Sect, Evie had lost a lot of weight. Thaddaeus noticed that, and his heart ached over it.Everest Sect was like heaven to any martial artist; they had better cultivation resources and mentors. However, Evie wasn't the slightest
Later at night, Lupinus was sitting with his legs folded on his bed in a room on the fifth floor of the clinic. His eyes abruptly flew open, and he dashed out at top speed.He came to the first floor and saw the door wide open. Two Dusk Soldiers sprawled on the floor. Thaddaeus walked in with daunting spiritual energy, dressed in a white cloak.Soon, Elliot, Willis, and Janessa sensed his energy and bolted downstairs."Thaddaeus Lopez!" Elliot tensed up when he saw who it was.They subconsciously nudged toward the room where Isaac was.Noticing their actions, Thaddaeus indifferently recalled when he was in Astraeus. He wasn't even close to death when his subordinates tried all means to overthrow him. But just looked at Isaac—he was severely wounded, yet his generals loyally watched over him."Can the four of you stop me if I insist on going in?" Thaddaeus laughed.Lupinus frostily replied, "You can go in—over our dead bodies."With that, he furiously channeled his spiritual ene
Garett smiled when he saw the Dusk Soldiers charging toward him. "Security's pretty tight, huh? They're all martial artists too.""We're at the right place then." Thaddaeus swung his arm, and a blast of energy toppled over eight Dusk Soldiers. He strode into the clinic.Harry crouched low beside the window on the second floor, holding his breath while Thaddaeus and Garett entered the clinic, killed "Isaac" in the room, and left.He swiftly darted into the room. The drug addict disguised as Isaac had his neck broken.Harry immediately phoned Isaac. "Boss, you were right. Thaddaeus came with another man…"Isaac's calm voice came through the receiver, "Alright, got it."Garett didn't have a flicker of doubt. Firstly, he knew Isaac sustained severe injuries. Secondly, like most martial artists from Everest Sect, he looked down on those who didn't belong to their sect.He was reluctant to return so fast after completing their mission without any hassle, so he dragged Thaddaeus along
Seeing the anxious and expectant look on Denvor's face, Isaac laughed. "I think you're more interested in my flight attendants. That depends on your performance." He didn't wait for Denvor's reply and returned to his sketch.The jet landed at Calrones Airport at 10 pm. Then, they took a speedboat from the port.Lightning was in charge of Southern Gianva headquarters on an island in international waters. This island was more than five times larger than Reccala Island.The generals were waiting at the island's port.Isaac and Denvor walked up to them. Denvor's face was sickly. He felt nauseous and started throwing up at the side."I'm sorry. I'm seasick." Denvor wiped his mouth with an awkward look.An enlarged map was spread out on the table in the command room.After listening to Isaac, the generals finally understood his plans—they were starting an onslaught on an island."Lightning, divide the Dusk Soldiers into five military columns. The first four will go ashore simultaneou
Several skilled cult members tried to fight back, but the generals arrived in time and defeated them. These cultists had been hiding away for so long, secretly cultivating their skills—only a handful had achieved the Amalgamation Phase.There was a world of difference in combat strength between both parties. After Isaac and Denvor came ashore, they herded all the cultists on the island to a flat ground. Those who fought back were already dead.Three ships hovering near the island abruptly turned on their searchlights. Three glaring white beams intersected and lit up the night sky.Thousands of Dusk Soldiers gathered the cultists, enshrouded in black cloaks. Most were pale and skinny. They huddled together fearfully when the beams shone on them.There were crunches as Isaac trod forward. He looked down and saw whitish bones scattered over the ground as far as he could see.Denvor scanned his surroundings and mumbled, "What a gloomy atmosphere."Isaac slid through the Dusk Soldiers
The moment the elevator rang, Harry was already on full alert. He and Beefy Bob looked toward the elevator door one after another and exclaimed simultaneously, "Eminente?"Without any hesitation, Beefy Bob let out a burst of spiritual energy and swung his fist at Mayflower."Take Allegra and leave! I'll hold her down," Beefy Bob roared, charging toward Mayflower.Harry opened the door and frantically dashed toward the bedroom.Allegra's arms and legs were tied up. She woke up with a start when Harry came in."Miracle Healer Stewart, wh—what are you doing?" Allegra was sane now."She's here. Eminente is here. Hang on, Allegra. I'll bring you out of here." Harry didn't even have time to untie her. He grabbed her and heaved her onto his shoulder. Then, he turned to flee.He had just left the bedroom when he saw Mayflower entering the office. Black energy enshrouded her, and her long, dark hair twisted and turned in the air. Mayflower's face was as pale as a sheet, and her expressio
