Hudson's steps paused for only a moment.Although Erick and Taron noticed the slight hesitation, neither of them thought much of it. They simply assumed the darkness inside the cave had caused him to slow down as his eyes adjusted.They had no idea what Hudson was actually experiencing.The moment he stepped into the cave, a strange sensation suddenly surged through him.It felt as though something deep within the mountain was connected to him. An invisible force seemed to be calling out to him, drawing him farther inside.But Hudson had never been to the Divine Repository before. He had never even met the Martial God, much less had any connection to him.‘So why was he suddenly feeling this strange pull? Could there be something inside waiting for him?’Hudson couldn't come up with an answer.Although the dragon-shaped jade pendant had once belonged to a Martial God, he was certain the mysterious summons had nothing to do with the Fengtian Realm.Whatever the truth was, he would prob

Perhaps no one else would do something like that.But the White Night Sect had always been known for getting rid of the donkey once the grinding was done.Still, Hudson thought about it again. If they really intended to turn on him after using him, they wouldn't have bothered dividing the spoils according to their agreement. The moment he broke through the formation and entered the Divine Repository, they could have simply attacked him.Thinking about it that way, Hudson figured he was probably overthinking things.And as it turned out, he was right.Erick stepped forward and shouted in a deep voice, "Dig three feet into the ground. I want every inch of this place searched. Find anything unusual."The White Night Sect members immediately pulled out various tools and began digging, tapping, and searching every corner of the area.The Divine Repository had once been the Martial God's place of cultivation. Erick clearly suspected that the Martial God might have hidden valuable items some

"Everyone, is there something you need?"Hudson was the first to speak.The leader froze for a moment before sneering. "Aker, it's only been a few days. You don't recognize me already? Did you lose your memory?""Aker?"The moment Hudson heard the name, the confusion in his eyes disappeared. He immediately understood what was happening.So these people weren't after him at all. They had come looking for the owner of the face he was currently wearing. The young man is still unconscious inside the Fetian Realm.That explained why the people sent after him were ordinary enforcers rather than martial artists.Hudson couldn't help feeling s

"There is a path to heaven, but you refuse to take it. Instead, you're determined to break into hell!""Since you're so eager to die, I'll be happy to send you there."Hudson turned around and stared at Erick, who had suddenly appeared.He honestly hadn't expected Erick to be hiding nearby. Then again, he had suspected for a while that Erick might come back.But did Taron know about this?"Hmph!""Those words should be directed at you. If you hadn't run away so quickly earlier, I would've killed you already. You took things that didn't belong to you. Do you really think you deserve to keep them?"Erick's expression was arrogant as he spoke, his eyes filled with undisguised hostility."If that old man hadn't held me back, I would've killed you myself a long time ago!"The more he spoke, the stronger his killing intent became.When they had first met, Hudson's deliberate provocation had already stirred Erick's desire to kill him. However, with Taron watching from the shadows, Erick hadn

At first, Hudson had believed that as long as his armor protected him, he could hold out until the Battle Soul Boss defeated Erick. Once Erick was dealt with, the crisis would naturally be resolved. But he had overlooked one crucial detail.The enemies he was fighting weren't living people. They were corpses.These corpses had existed for far too long and had undergone special refinement. Their bodies contained an extremely potent form of corpse poison.Corpse poison was one of the most difficult poisons in the world to treat.The poison from a century-old corpse was powerful enough to overwhelm even a Grandmaster. Once it entered the body, the victim would quickly lose the ability to fight back.Under normal circumstances, merely coming into contact with these corpses could be fatal, let alone being scratched by them. Anyone without sufficient protection could be killed almost instantly by the poison.Although the wound on Hudson's arm was small, the corpse poison had already begun s

‘Where exactly was he hiding all those weapons?’Erick felt his scalp tingle.Watching Hudson pull out one weapon after another as if he were performing some kind of magic trick, Erick simply couldn't understand it.At the same time, once he snapped out of his shock, anxiety quickly took over.The three corpses had taken years of effort to create. They were his greatest trump card and the weapons he had relied on to kill Hudson.At first, when he saw Hudson being forced back and forth by the three corpses, Erick had been full of confidence. He had believed that victory was already in his hands.But things had taken an unexpected turn.Not only was Hudson far stronger than he had anticipated, but he also had countless tricks up his sleeve. Worse, he was smart enough to quickly figure out the weaknesses of the corpses.Discovering their weaknesses was one problem.The bigger problem was that Hudson possessed weapons powerful enough to exploit them.Erick knew very well that without thos

Inside the Sealed Heaven Realm, everything was utterly silent.As Hudson lay unconscious, thin black lines gradually spread across his chest, twisting and branching like the roots of an ancient tree. They slowly crawled across his skin, spreading farther with every passing moment.At the same time, Hudson's body began to twitch uncontrollably.He had completely lost consciousness and could no longer suppress the corpse poison that had already reached his heart meridian. Without his control, the poison slowly began spreading throughout his body.Even a trace of corpse poison reaching the heart meridian was enough to show just how terrifying the poison of a century-old corpse was after being specially refined.And Hudson's condition was already considered exceptionally good.His physical body was far stronger than that of an ordinary martial artist, while his armor had absorbed and blocked most of the damage from the corpses.Ordinary martial artists would have no such protection. A sin

Four days later, Hudson returned to the place where he had first encountered the group of thugs.The two remaining SUVs were still parked there, which meant no one had come looking for them during that time.Hudson had spent the past four days traveling on foot. Although his injuries had already improved considerably, he still felt somewhat tired. Once he reached the vehicles, he got behind the wheel and drove away.Raden City was one of the eight cities surrounding the region's main city, much like a satellite city built around a larger urban center.Along the way, Hudson contacted Vicente and asked him to quickly gather detailed information about the Cael family in Raden City.Since he had decided to disguise himself as Aker and help him deal with his current crisis, Hudson needed to understand the Cael family thoroughly. He had to know their relationships, habits, and circumstances well enough to avoid exposing his identity.At the same time, he called Ivory to let her know that he

"What's wrong?"Aurora immediately noticed that something was off with Hudson. She smiled and tried to lighten the mood."Wasn't one of your favorite ways to relax before for me to give you a bath? I know you've been through a lot lately. You've had so much on your mind, and it's probably been weighing you down."She gently tugged at his arm."Come on. This time, I'll scrub you until you're spotless. You'll feel much better afterward."As she spoke, Aurora instinctively pulled on Hudson's arm, expecting him to follow her.But Hudson didn't move. He had no intention of letting that situation happen.Aurora felt the resistance immediately. The smile on her face faded slightly as she looked at him with concern."What's wrong?"The two had been married for a long time and knew each other well.In the past, whenever Aker heard that it was time for a shower, he would practically jump at the chance, never showing even a hint of hesitation.Yet now, Hudson was standing completely still."It's

Aker gave a helpless chuckle. "I really don't have much of a choice. I hope you can understand."His plan was simple. Under normal circumstances, Hudson would step in and handle things on Aker's behalf.At night, however, Aker would have to appear in person because he still needed to interact with Aurora. During those times, Hudson would stay hidden and let Aker handle everything himself.Aker clearly intended to see this through to the very end.After all, he had already gotten involved, and he wanted to help as much as he could. Seeing how determined he was, Hudson could only nod and say nothing more.At the same time, another concern crossed Hudson's mind. If he revealed his true identity and openly presented himself as Aker's friend, he might end up bringing trouble to Cael's family.This area was territory controlled by the Tipcan Sect, and Hudson was already in conflict with them.Although Raden City wasn't the main urban center in California, that didn't mean the Tipcan Sect wo
