“You—” Xavier froze in his tracks and his eyes widened significantly, seeing the scary scene before him.

Unlike what Frosh Junior had dreaded that caused him to take Laura hostage, Xavier hadn’t even had him in mind. Instead, he had merely wanted to help his mother back to her feet, yet…

Following Xavier’s shock, strong tremors coursed through his body and a cold sweat covered him.

He then glanced urgently at his mother, only to find her trembling with a look of horror and helples

  • Chapter 1088 – Helen’s Grief IV

    *****Helen didn’t move again, blink, or breathe.She didn’t even notice when the Patriarch vanished… or when some of the surrounding elders turned away, some with pity, and others with thinly veiled mockery.At that moment, her mind dissolved into chaos.‘Why…?’‘It shouldn’t have come to this?’‘It shouldn’t have ended like this?’‘I should have begged that boy…’‘I shouldn’t… I shouldn’t have threatened him…’‘How did I forget the consequences?’‘Why was I so arrogant?’‘I should have…’Her chest hitched, her eyes burning.Helen wanted to sob, faint, and smack herself hard, but…“Arghhhhh…!!!”Helen’s scream suddenly tore through the hall like a wounded beast’s final howl.“I… I swear…!” she shrieked, her voice cracking into something raw, beastly, and unrecognizable. “I will make sure you and everyone you have ever known live long… very long lives filled with the worst torture ever conceived!!!”The curse poured out of her like poison, finally uncorked.As she sc

  • Chapter 1087 – Helen’s Grief III

    *****Nearly all the elders flinched upon hearing their Patriarch’s command, disappointment flickering across their faces.All of them are really burning with curiosity now, filled with questions begging to be asked… but none of them dared speak.“You should also prepare for the backlash,” the Patriarch continued, his voice unhurried and merciless. “And the inevitable rank regression.”With this… the hall once again shifted, pity thickening the air.Every gaze turned toward Helen, heavier now, sharper, and laced with something uncomfortably close to relief that it wasn’t them.Helen, on the other hand, trembled harder. Her lips parted as if she wanted to protest, to scream, or to deny reality itself…But she never got the chance.“When you are healed,” the Patriarch went on, his tone suddenly darkening, the temperature in the hall plummeting, “I will assign an elder to accompany you for revenge.”His aura pulsed, making several elders shudder instinctively, covered in a cold

  • Chapter 1086 – Helen’s Grief II

    *****To any person, ranked or unranked…No, to any living thing itself, their soul was their very life. It was the foundation of everything they were and everything they would become.Damaging it was taboo, and destroying it… that was unthinkable, even if it was just a mere fragment.Then there was their sect, where their cultivation revolved solely around the soul.Their techniques, breakthroughs, and identities… everything flowed through it.Even losing the weakest soul fragment was enough to cripple one’s future, stall progress indefinitely, and place a permanent ceiling over one’s potential.But a stronger soul fragment?That was sacred… a fragment that was worth more than flesh, blood, and even the physical body itself.As long as this soul fragment existed, death was not the end when you reached a rank like theirs. One could seize another body, rebuild strength, and continue climbing.It might be slow… but you would still climb.However, once that fragment was gone…

  • Chapter 1085 – Helen’s Grief

    *****The moment the voice echoed through the air, even Helen… completely lost to fury now and drowning in bloodlust, couldn’t help but freeze mid-motion.It was as though an invisible hand had clamped around her throat.Before she even realized it, her raging momentum stalled, her blazing eyes flickering as clarity forced its way back in.Then, for the first time since she had erupted from her chamber, something other than rage registered on her face… fear.And just at that very instant, the space directly before her warped, appearing as though reality itself had decided to politely step aside.And from that distortion, pure darkness… thick and suffocating, seeped out, swallowing light as if it had never existed.Witnessing it, the surrounding elders instinctively recoiled, their instincts screaming danger before their minds could even catch up.In the next breath, a figure emerged from within the darkness, drifting forward slowly and unhurried, cloaked entirely in black ener

  • Chapter 1084 – An Incensed Elder Helen

    *****Inside one of the cultivation chambers, a pale elderly woman sat in a lotus position atop a straw mat.She looked no younger than seventy, yet her features carried an unnatural beauty, preserved by cultivation.Her posture was calm, her expression serene, and almost gentle… like an ordinary grandmother who wouldn’t even scare a fly.Her eyes were closed at the moment, seemingly fully immersed in cultivation, when suddenly, they snapped open, and…“Pft!”A mouthful of blood violently sprayed from her lips, splattering across the floor.At that very instant, her body jerked as pain twisted her face, the calm shattering in an instant.“What… what just happened?!” she shrieked, her voice sharp with disbelief.Her expression contorted, rage and confusion flooding her eyes at the same time. “Is this… a backlash?” she growled, the words trembling with suppressed fury.In the following second, however, she frowned deeply, her mind racing, until suddenly…A memory surfaced in

  • Chapter 1083 – The Elders’ Hall

    *****Almost everyone in the underground sect was a ranked fighter… from the youngest to the oldest, power determined worth, and the ones who weren’t ranked?They weren’t considered human… not even close.They were treated worse than animals… like ants that could be crushed underfoot without a second thought.They were dragged into experiments, tortured without restraint, and used as disposable lab rats for cultivation techniques that often ended in screaming, twitching corpses.Mercy did not exist.Here, the “ordinary” citizens, occupying the very bottom of the food chain were the F-ranked fighters, people who are treated with great importance in the outside world.These people did the dirtiest work imaginable, treated like servants barely above trash.And the unranked?Slaves would have been an upgrade.They lived only to suffer, to be used, and to die… usually in that exact order.It was a place where humanity had completely rotted.Like every other sect, this place was
