The overwhelming pressure inside the house was impossible to ignore. Judging by Reilan's cold expression and the aura radiating from her body, she was genuinely furious.Hudson, however, was completely confused.He carefully went over everything he had said earlier in his mind, but he couldn't find anything wrong with his words. He honestly couldn't understand why Reilan had suddenly lost her temper.When it came to women, Hudson figured there was no point in trying to guess what they were thinking. If he didn't understand, he might as well ask.He looked at Reilan and said bluntly, "Are you crazy? You're acting like you're about to lose your mind."Reilan's icy eyes locked onto him. The powerful aura surrounding her continued to rise, making it clear that she might attack at any moment.And at that moment, Reilan was genuinely furious.She had gone out of her way to support Hudson's plan.Before leaving, she had even spoken seriously with the other War Gods, trying her best to convin

Hudson accepted the Divine Sect's leader ring. By accepting the ring, he was also accepting the responsibility of becoming the leader of the newly rebuilt Shekat Sect.Sometimes, people simply had to learn to adapt.Hudson understood better than anyone that, at this moment, there was no one else who could take on this responsibility.It was only when you truly needed people that you realized how few reliable people you actually had around you.Julo's injuries would still require quite some time to heal. Vicente, although he was the head of the Sandoval family and had plenty of experience, was far too cautious and calculating. That old man had supported Hudson becoming the leader of the newly established Divine Sect, but he also understood the saying that a tall tree catches the wind. He was willing to help, but he didn't have the strength to stand at the front himself.The others were even weaker and lacked the authority needed to command a large group.More importantly, Hudson didn't

As an old and powerful organization that had maintained stability throughout California for many years, the Divine Sect was naturally far more complicated than it appeared on the surface.Maintaining order throughout the state and suppressing rebellious forces was only part of its public duty. Behind the scenes, the organization had been involved in many things that outsiders could never know about.Hudson had originally assumed that the treasures he had seen in the vault beneath the Divine Sect's Los Angeles headquarters were simply the result of decades of accumulation.Now, after hearing Dein's explanation, he realized just how much he had underestimated the organization.For countless years, the Divine Sect had secretly excavated the ruins left behind by ancient powers and explored numerous hidden sites and mysterious locations.The treasures stored in the Los Angeles headquarters were only a fraction of what the Divine Sect actually possessed, perhaps no more than a tenth of its

The rumbling grew louder, echoing through the mountains.A dark shadow came rushing toward them at a speed far beyond what an ordinary person could see."Run!"Hudson didn't care anymore if his secret was exposed. He grabbed Viena by the arm and immediately sent her into the Fetian Realm. He also brought the iron tub containing the medicinal bath, along with Dein, before turning around and preparing to flee into the distance.But just as he was about to move, an overwhelming sense of danger washed over him, making the hair on the back of his neck stand on end.There was no escape.Hudson's expression changed. With a single thought, he entered the Fetian Realm himself to take shelter.The moment he disappeared, the dark shadow slammed directly into the cabin.A deafening explosion erupted across the mountains. Flames shot into the sky as the earth shook violently. The surrounding mountains trembled, and countless rocks and pieces of debris were blasted in every direction.When the dust

After all that trouble, Clian realized he had actually been played. He didn't even have time to argue. The moment the realization hit him, Clian rushed into the cabin, intending to interrupt Hudson before he could finish whatever he was doing.But he was already too late.The bone-stripping and meridian reconstruction had been completed. Only the final step remained.Hudson no longer had any reason to hold back.He gave a cold snort, and the three powerful battle souls were summoned at once.Clian was the first to charge in, so he took the full force of the attack.He had never expected Hudson to have three Grandmaster-level battle souls at his disposal. Caught completely off guard, he was struck by all three and sent flying backward through the doorway."Grandmaster?""Oh, my God!"The moment the others sensed the terrifying aura released by the three battle souls, panic spread through the group. Even the wild dogs wandering around the mountain were frightened by the sudden disturban

The first time Dein underwent the bone-stripping and meridian reconstruction procedure, he endured it.But once it was over, he was so weak that he couldn't even move a finger. Hudson immediately placed him in a large iron tub that had been prepared beforehand, where he soaked in a mixture of medicinal herbs meant to help his body recover.Three days later, after confirming that Dein had mostly recovered, Hudson performed the second round of bone stripping and meridian reconstruction.This time, Viena was extremely curious. She kept pestering Hudson, begging him to let her watch.However, less than three minutes after entering the room, Viena covered her mouth and rushed outside to vomit. After that, she never dared to step inside and watch again.Later, whenever they learned that another round of the procedure was about to begin, everyone suddenly found an excuse to leave.Each round of bone stripping and meridian reconstruction took a greater toll on Dein's body. As the procedures c
