Felix's expression changed. Leslie was coming, too? Averill was already enough for him to deal with. If Leslie joined in, he couldn't imagine how things would turn out."But don't worry. I've sent Leslie away for now. If you cooperate and compromise with me later, I'll not only help you out but also make sure that Leslie won't bother you for a while."Although those words calmed Felix a bit, he knew very well that "cooperating" with Averill wasn't going to be as simple as it sounded.Jack couldn't stop gawking at her as Averill walked closer. Then, sure enough, she sat directly next to Felix and gave him a kiss on the cheek."Darling, sorry that I'm late."What?Jack nearly lost his balance and had to grab the chair to steady himself.Every man seeing this scene could practically hear their heart shattering into pieces. How could Felix get such a perfect woman?Even Felix couldn't help but laugh at Jack's reaction."Jack, is it really that shocking?" he teased.Taking a few d

Averill blinked her eyes a few times and asked, "That's it? Are you sure you're not just frustrated and need me to comfort you?"Felix gave a bitter smile."That's really it. I'm hoping you can help, Averill.""Alright. I get it. What a bore! If I had known it would be this dull, I wouldn't have gone through the trouble of diverting Leslie."…Meanwhile, the atmosphere at the Great Imperial Sect was grim. After all, their Supreme Elder, who was considered the guardian of the sect, had perished. Who could possibly feel good in such a situation?"Mr. Cunningham! Are we just going to let this slide?"Days had passed since the incident. Though the elders gathered in the council hall daily, no one had much to say. The deputy sect leader glared angrily, sharing the same frustration as the rest, who were visibly unable to let go of their indignation.Jaxon glanced around and said coldly, "And what should we do? Even our Supreme Elder was struck dead by a lightning bolt. Do you reall

"Let him in immediately!"After recalling the incident, Jaxon hurriedly gave the order. What shocked everyone was that the moment the words left his mouth, a young man suddenly appeared in the hall.No one present had noticed how he entered.Jaden was a handsome young man with a unique air, which set him apart. He was the type that would stand out instantly in a crowd."Mr. Cunningham, I am Jaden Hault, the Ninth Elder of Crimson Sage Sect. Nice to meet you," Jaden greeted with a calm smile.Although this was a rather casual gesture considering their ranks, Jaxon didn't take it as arrogance. Instead, he eagerly stepped down from his seat, no longer daring to remain at the head of the hall."Mr. Hault, it is an honor for the Great Imperial Sect to receive someone of your stature," Jaxon said warmly.After the two sat down, Jaden finally spoke, "I've come today for your student, Xena. I believe you've already recalled what my mentor told you eight years ago?"Jaxon nodded. "I tho

Finally, Dora made up her mind. "Let's do this! I, Dora, have never gambled once in my life. But this time, I'll go crazy with you!"Just as she finished speaking, three cars suddenly appeared, blocking the road both in front and behind. Dora was forced to slam on the brakes."Are they out of their minds? Who dares block my car?"But the next moment, she saw the license plates and immediately knew she was in trouble."Damn! It's my dad's car."Sure enough, the door of the Rolls-Royce opened, and a middle-aged man stepped out. Right beside him was her brother, Sam."Damn it! It was Sam. He must have ratted me out."Dora turned to Felix with a pitiful expression. "Felix, can you come down with me? Otherwise, my dad will definitely kill me this time. Please help me explain."Felix sighed. He did owe Dora a favor for helping him earlier, so doing her this small favor was no big deal."Alright."After they stepped out of the car, the middle-aged man's expression softened slightly

Bradley's sudden reaction left Zachary stunned for a moment, but he quickly chuckled."Felix? He was just a friend of mine."Before he could finish, Bradley's sharp gaze locked onto him, and his tone became sterner. "Tell me the truth. Is he really just a friend, or are you trying to dig up information about Felix?"How could Bradley not know his nephew's character? Zachary was notorious for stirring up trouble. As the commander of the Phoenix Legion, Bradley had dealt with all sorts of cunning individuals. He could easily tell when someone was lying.The room fell silent as everyone turned to watch, especially Benedict. He stood up and sternly said, "Tell your uncle the truth!"A man of his experience could easily sense the seriousness in Bradley's demeanor.Although Zachary was puzzled, he hurriedly told the truth, "Uncle Bradley, it's true. I wanted to find out more about Felix. We had some disagreements, but it's not a big deal. I saw with my own eyes that the Phoenix Legion t

"Felix, I'm Bradley Sutton, colonel of the Phoenix Legion. My grandfather was once comrades-in-arms with Mr. Holt Senior."Felix's attitude naturally shifted when he heard Bradley's introduction. If Ernest was a war hero, how could Bradley's grandfather be any less significant?"Hey, Bradley, what can I do for you?" Felix asked with a friendly tone."Alright. Zachary is my nephew. From what I understand, your disagreement with him isn't too serious. Could you do me a favor and allow him to apologize to you? Honestly, I only just found out about this situation."Felix pulled the car over to the side of the road, smiling. "Since it is you, of course, I'll give you this courtesy."After all, their disagreement hadn't gone too far. If it had, even Bradley's intervention wouldn't have helped."Thank you very much. I'll make sure my cousin keeps an eye on Zachary in the future."With that matter resolved, Felix turned his car around and decided to head home.…Meanwhile, Dora, who w

After Felix arrived at Tabiner Bay, he pulled into the parking lot and handed his keys to the security guard. He then told Dora to send someone over for the car. As he walked past Yvonne's villa, he noticed her sitting in her yard, even though it was already late. "Want to come in for a bit?" she offered after they locked eyes. "It's alright. I'm kind of tired." Curiosity flickered in Yvonne's eyes. Felix actually managed to get back from the Phoenix Legion unscathed. It seemed unlikely that they would arrest someone by mistake. It would be ridiculous if the Phoenix Legion had mobilized their teams without solid evidence, wouldn't it? "What other secrets are you hiding, Felix?" As Yvonne muttered to herself, she steeled herself. This was precisely why she was sent here. But part of her hoped she would not uncover anything. If she did, the chances of him being together with her boss might just become higher. Felix had barely stepped into his yard when Sherlyn dashed over.

Outside, Jaden was approaching slowly with a faint smile on his face. "He can't even sense the killing intent I'm releasing on purpose. This Felix guy is pretty average, isn't he?" He wanted to test the waters. Otherwise, nobody could have noticed his movements with his skills. "Are you Jaden Hault?" A woman suddenly appeared and blocked his path. Jaden squinted as he sized her up. He then smiled. "Well, well, if it isn't Xena Summers! Never thought our first meeting would be at such a place and timing." Jaden had seen Xena's pictures countless times. Even if she had looked hideous, he would still marry her and treat her well. That was because his mentor's divination demanded it. However, what man wouldn't appreciate beauty? He had been struck by her looks in the photos, so he was naturally overjoyed. He had basically already claimed her as his woman. "You're indeed very strong. I can tell just from your killing intent." Xena had mixed feelings about this. She never expecte

Felix couldn't kill them? Felix almost thought Xena was joking. He now had almost perfected the Ethereal Constitution. Besides, he had Lumen and the Infinite Shield.He came back to show his skills. Yet now, they were telling him not to kill?"Although Dragonia doesn't have that much soul mastery, there are some for now. Additionally, after three years, several of our martial artists and top experts have the ability to kill the Malevolent Phantoms."At least there wouldn't be a problem dealing with the C-tier and B-tier Malevolent Phantoms. As for Billy, you're familiar with him. He can definitely kill the A-tier Malevolent Phantoms. But again, killing isn't allowed."Felix looked at her seriously. "Then, you'd better convince me."Xena was prepared for this answer. "The order is issued by the headquarters. The Malevolent Phantoms had been sent to gather intelligence. If you kill them—however you kill them—information about their death would be sent somewhere."As for where it'

Felix was silent after hearing the news. After a long pause, he asked, "Are they dead?"Xena knew that despite seeming calm, Felix was like a ticking time bomb—one that was about to blow."No, no! Not long after you left, they were captured by the Westerio Order."The Westerio Order! Felix clenched his fists. He didn't expect that the loose ends he left behind would hurt Melissa. However, it was too urgent of a mission, and he wasn't strong then. Of course, he didn't want to go after the Westerio Order, but he truly didn't expect they would act upon his absence."I'm sorry," Xena said.Felix waved his hand dismissively. "It has nothing to do with you. Melissa and Ronan must've been traveling around the world at the time. They weren't under your protection then."He thought Ronan was strong enough to deal with sneak attacks. Besides, the Westerio Order wouldn't have sent a particularly strong person for the first time. After the first attack, Melissa and Ronan would've definit

Felix felt like Cordelia was just going to say more and more outrageous things, so he hurried away. All of a sudden, he noticed Xena in an armored vehicle."Long time no see."Three years felt like it was yesterday. However, the difference was Felix wasn't conflicted anymore. Meanwhile, Xena's eyes were full of complex emotions. "I heard you got married in Martial City." She had seen and heard the news but didn't want to ask. Yet, she still brought it up now."Yes, I'm married now," Felix replied.There was a pause after his reply before she asked again, "Did you get married to complete the mission, or—"Felix didn't avoid her gaze and said seriously, "I really wanted to get married. Nerissa is truly a good woman, and she's worthy of my time."With that answer, Xena turned away, looking around outside before composing herself. As for what she was thinking, even she wasn't clear on what she wanted. "The Malevolent Phantom I met in Martial City… I didn't notice it before. Is

Xena immediately shook her head. "I dare not say that I know him best, but he is a man who values loyalty and righteousness. If we hide it from him and he finds out through other people, I don't think we can bear the consequences later."A thick silence fell. After a few minutes, Lionel spoke up, "Just… Just do as is. Why don't you tell Felix about those two people?"An hour later, the great mountain in front of them disappeared. Instead, an endless field replaced it. The Warlords were unfazed, but the soldiers from headquarters were stunned.After all, this was like a scene out of a movie. It was incredible. When they got out of their shock, they realized a lot of people stood in the field—so many that they couldn't count.The leader was naturally Felix."Hello, everyone. Long time no see." Felix's face was full of emotion as he saw those familiar faces again. After three years, he had finally come home. No matter how much he felt like he belonged in Martial City, there was n

Someone asked another question, "Then, may I ask why you can't send people from the capital to Martial City to teach us soul mastery?"This was also a burning question in many of the crowd's minds. Besides, wouldn't it be easier that way?"Because the soul mastery skill you're going to learn has a special trait called resonance. As Dragonians, we can share our soul power and increase the speed of your cultivation. How many people are there in Martial City compared to the capital?"There's more than a billion out there, you know? Of course, you can also practice back here. But by then, the Malevolent Phantoms would've entered Martial City in a matter of minutes! You wouldn't want to endanger your family and friends, right?"After answering a few more questions, the crowd finally agreed with him. "Alright. Now, head back to your family. You have a week to spend with your family and friends before I bring you all to the capital. Everything has been arranged there."You're all also

The question came from a bald man who was sitting cross-legged on a large rock. He looked as if he didn't take Felix, a Grandmaster, seriously at all. Everyone in the crowd, including Felix, turned to look at him."May I ask why?"The bald man sneered. "What do Malevolent Phantoms in the capital have to do with me?"Felix nodded, showing no anger. "Alright. Then, let me ask you. Is Martial City located in Dragonia?" The bald man, Christian Perez, seemed to know what Felix was about to say. He answered, "Yes.""So, the people in Martial City have Dragonian blood in their veins, right?""That's right."Christian had the unique energy of a Transcendent master. Just from his expression and eyes, it was clear he wasn't someone to be trifled with."If a nuclear bomb fell on Martial City, would you die?"Christian was about to answer but hesitated. "I… It's not likely, but there's a high probability I'll die."Nuclear bombs were terrifying, and Martial City wasn't completely out

At the foot of Trirock Mountain, a densely packed crowd gathered around. There was double the number of people gathered here compared to when Felix was refining pills during the assessment. Everyone was waiting and talking among themselves. They were all wondering what Felix was going to do. Logically, everyone couldn't be here at the same time. Yet, it happened.After Felix touched the statue, he could control the spell around Martial City. He could also feel the energies of the citizens and where they were. The three elders of the Celestial Hall had been asked to capture the hiding citizens. No one could escape."Being a Grandmaster is truly amazing! I was still caught despite hiding in a well-hidden place.""Ugh, don't even mention it! I buried myself underground, yet they dug me out!"Several martial artists were helpless as they chatted among themselves. They hadn't seen Felix but had already experienced the power of a Grandmaster. All of a sudden, a figure appeared above

Cordelia took out a small piece of paper from her pocket. A painting revealed itself as she unfolded the paper.The man in the painting was handsome and strong. His eyes, in particular, were authoritative. Even though it was a painting, no one dared to meet his gaze. For some reason, Felix felt like this man seemed familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on it. "Is this him?"Cordelia nodded. "Yes, this is a painting the royal family has kept for generations. Whether he has changed or aged at all isn't clear. We call him the Ancient Sage."The Ancient Sage? Felix questioned, "Is he stronger than a Grandmaster?" A mix of emotions flashed in Cordelia's eyes. "Most probably. After Yusri became Grandmaster, he claimed to be the strongest in the world. However, one day, he went to an unknown place for a few days."When he came back, he claimed that he was no longer the strongest in the world. The rest of us had guessed that he met the Ancient Sage."Felix thought about how Corde

The only people Felix could bow to were Deborah and Cordelia. The two women were sobbing uncontrollably. Deborah truly doted on him, treating him like her own grandson. Meanwhile, Cordelia didn't need any explanation. She had been feeling guilty toward Felix for decades. She had never even dared dream of being forgiven, let alone attending his wedding as his mother. Now that she was, the feeling was indescribable.After curtsying to their parents, the two of them entered the bridal chamber. When Felix lifted Nerissa's veil, he felt amazed despite having seen her many times."You're so beautiful, Nerissa."She was flushed red from shyness. Nerissa had imagined countless times what her fiancé would be like—but she never would've thought that he would be this excellent. Many years ago, Westley had told her that a person who held on to their principles and persistence would eventually be blessed. Just as Felix was about to say something, Nerissa had already pushed him down on the
