Hudson frowned in confusion as he turned toward the voice. Standing a few feet away was nothing more than an ordinary-looking elderly man."Who are you?" he asked cautiously.No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't sense anything unusual about the man. He looked like any other Taronntleman one might pass on the street.The old man smiled warmly."It's only been a short while, and you've already forgotten me?"The face was unfamiliar, but the voice, and more importantly, the way he spoke, was unmistakable.Hudson rubbed the bridge of his nose and smirked."I thought you were dead."The old man snorted dismissively."They say a scourge lives a thousand years. Plenty of people want me dead, but somehow I just keep surviving. Pretty impressive, don't you think?"It was Taron.Hudson had been trying to contact him for quite some time without success. The fact that Taron had appeared on his own could only mean one thing, he had something important to discuss.Without another word, Hudson m

At this point, no one knew how deeply the White Night Sect had infiltrated the Divine Sect. The members of the Heavenly Guard Squad standing before Hudson could only be treated as the first sparks.After all, a single spark was enough to ignite a wildfire.When Hudson noticed that Marco still looked confused, he briefly explained the current situation. He told him that reclaiming control of the Divine Sect with their present strength alone was impossible. They needed someone the entire sect would recognize, someone capable of rallying the loyal members together.That person was Dein.Finding him was the key to everything.Hudson then instructed Marco to act as though nothing had happened. Once he returned, he wasn't to mention today's events to the other Heavenly Guard members. At this stage, no one could tell who had already been corrupted by the White Night Sect.If word reached the leaders that someone was secretly exposing the truth and trying to split the Divine Sect from within,

With that, Hudson leaped down from the estate wall, still carrying the little girl safely in his arms.He landed lightly in front of the Seventh Elder before gently setting the frightened child on the ground.The moment his feet touched the earth, an invisible pressure spread across the courtyard.The Seventh Elder's expression changed instantly.A Grandmaster.He had never expected the mysterious young man to possess that level of strength.Instinctively, he took several steps back, widening the distance between them before glaring coldly at Hudson."Do you have any idea who you're standing against?" he demanded."I am the Seventh Elder of the Divine Sect.""By interfering with the Divine Sect's operation, you've made yourself an enemy of the entire organization, and of this country. Even if you're a Grandmaster, you'll be hunted for the rest of your life."Since brute force wasn't enough, he resorted to intimidation.That threat might have frightened almost anyone else. Unfortunatel

Early that morning, the residents of Redwood City, Northern California quickly sensed that something unusual was happening. Groups of people dressed in the uniforms of the Divine Sect had appeared throughout the city. They stood at major intersections, neighborhood entrances, and key roads, watching every movement with stern expressions.The atmosphere grew tense."What happened? Why are there so many people from the Divine Sect here? With this many people, something big must be going on.""Maybe they're still hunting that former sect leader they declared wanted. Redwood City isn't that far from the northern counties, so he could've come here."Whispers spread from one corner of the city to another as speculation continued.Inside the Hilton family's estate, every member of the household, young and old alike, had gathered in the main reception hall.Late the previous night, the family's security guards had discovered dozens of Divine Sect members quietly surrounding the estate.

That night, Kitty's long-held wish finally came true. Their relationship crossed a new threshold, and from that moment on, she was no longer the shy young woman who had silently admired Hudson from afar.At the same time, with Hudson's unique cultivation technique guiding her, Kitty's martial arts cultivation advanced dramatically, rising from the early stage of the Bright Force Realm to the late stage in a single night.The next morning, Kitty slowly opened her eyes.As soon as she circulated within her body, she immediately sensed the difference. The energy flowing through her meridians was noticeably stronger than before.Her eyes widened in surprise."This... really helped me break through?"There was no hiding the excitement in her voice.Hudson nodded with a smile."Haven't you ever heard of dual cultivation?""I've heard people mention it," Kitty admitted, "but I never really understood how it worked."She fell silent for a moment before a thought suddenly struck her.Her eyes

Five pairs of eyes were fixed on Hudson. The intensity of their stares made the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. Swallowing hard, he asked, "What's going on?"He had never seen Ivory and the others this serious before. Their expressions made him instinctively think they were about to discuss something extremely important.Ivory folded her arms and looked at him calmly."Shouldn't you give Kitty an answer?""While you were unconscious, she stayed by your side every single day. She barely let any of us take care of you.""We all saw how she feels about you." She paused before continuing. "And don't you think you owe all of us an explanation, too?"Hudson was speechless. After all that tension… This was what they wanted to talk about?He couldn't help glancing at Kitty.Her cheeks were bright red, and she kept her head lowered, nervously twisting her fingers together. She looked too embarrassed to even meet his eyes.Since Ivory had brought the subject into the open, Hudson unders
