Chapter 61: Curious Qian
Yun Qian POVThe voice called my name behind me shattered the delicious moment I had just been savoring. I wasn't fully done enjoying what I felt. Now the owner of the voice had my full attention, he was nervous, hesitant and somewhat predictable. I didn’t turn immediately because of the mild annoyance caused at the moment. I let the silence stretch, letting the weight of my presence press down on him until he shifted uncomfortably where he stood.Then, slowly, I rose to my feet.My silk robes whispered against the marble, the sound soft and sinuous, like a serpent gliding through grass.I turned and faced him. The boy stood a few paces away, dressed in the plain robes of a lower-tier scholarship student. These filth. His posture was stiff, his hands clenched at his sides, his gaze fixed firmly on the ground.He didn’t dare look at me, of course he wouldn't. No one ever did, unless they were invited. "I…. I'm sorry. The news from the South…" he stammered, his voice catching. "Lor
Chapter 60: The Sweetest Poison
Yun Qian POVOhh, what a beautiful, beautiful world we live in. The fresh air at the window in my room felt too surreal, too fresh. My lungs tingled as I drew in a sweet long breath. What a wonderful world, I murmured again with a smile on my face. I looked outside and saw the beautiful garden. I hurried down. The garden of the High-Spires Academy was too perfect.That was the first thing I noticed every time I stepped into it, it was not only about the beauty, nor the harmony that flourished here in abundance, neither was it the carefully orchestrated blend of flora and mana that made lesser nobles gasp in admiration, everywhere was an art of green, red and white. All blending together seamlessly. It was not all of that, it was the precision.The grass wasn’t just trimmed, it was measured. Every blade stood at the exact same height, aligned like soldiers awaiting inspection.The roses didn’t only grow, they were arranged, their petals unfurling in flawless symmetry, each bloom pos
Chapter 59: The Price of A Secret
Lin Feng's POV My grip on the blade tightened, out of pure rage. But after weighing all my available options, I loosened. I lowered my spectral blade.The violet fire on it sputtered once… then died off. Silence rushed in to fill the space it left behind.I stood there, exposed. No shadows. No concealment or defense.Just me and him. "Stop," I rasped, my voice carrying through the vacuum, it didn't echo as it normally would.The word cut through the chaos with a clarity that even the Saint couldn’t ignore."The Tablet is here. The souls behind me are nothing. Take the vessel, and leave the dirt."The words tasted like ash. Behind me, I felt the shift. Not movement, attention.Three hundred lives, all pivoting on what came next. Malachi paused.He hovered inches above the vitrified ground, his presence still crushing but it was more measured now, he controlled it. The pressure eased, it didn't go away totally. Why would he let it go? It was who he was. It reduced just enough for th
Chapter 58: The Headcount
Lin Feng’s POVMy Legion was completely wiped out. Like one of the most powerful weapons I had constantly made use of was erased in just a matter of seconds, almost faster than seconds to be honest. The confusion ran through my head, just how powerful was this inquisitor, I had heard tales of what his kind could do when I was back at the academy. I just never believed I'd witness it first hand. Even worse because I thought my legion were at least going to buy us, or rather give me a bit of time to think of a way out of this mess. But these fools didn't, the inquisitor drew out their souls that weren't even existent to begin with. How the fuck do you draw out what doesn't exist. It made absolutely no sense to me. I turned to look at Junjie, ten seconds ago there was a glint of hope that flashed across his suffocating face. He really thought it would be over. Now, that hope was being replaced by fear. The kind of fear that's controlled by the mind and can literally kill someone if
Chapter 57: The Damned Legion
Junjie's POVThe excitement washed over me, but that made me stumble into the mud again. I didn't stay down for long, I dragged myself up again, there was no time for that clumsiness. I looked up to confirm it was him. He stood still in the middle of it all, he was untouched. Obviously because he was stronger than the other nullities in the Pits. The fire bent around him, the light recoiled from him, as if even this divine annihilation couldn’t fully claim him. His silhouette cut through the chaos like a blade through water.I staggered the last few steps and skidded to a halt beside him, nearly collapsing."Boss… we have to go now! we can't waste a single second out here anymore.” I wheezed, clutching his tattered sleeve like it was the only solid thing left in the world, maybe it was. "The tunnels… they are opening…"He didn’t move, but his left eye burned, a whirlpool of violet and black, spinning slowly, hungrily, reflecting something far deeper than the destruction around us.
Chapter 56: The Burning Of The Sanctuary
Junjie’s POV“I would never do such a thing.” I heard Feng's voice echo across the pits as he roared that statement.“You live me no other option, I'll burn down this place and destroy everything inside of it.” The figure who stood above Lin Feng said. Unlike Feng, he didn't roar or shout, he just spoke and everyone heard it. Like a speaker was placed inside of us to hear what he said. The atmosphere in the scavengers pits wasn't only burning me and every other person I had raised my eyes to see, it turned into a solid, golden poison. It pressed against my skin, seeped massively into my pores, and crushed my lungs from the inside out. I lay facedown in the slimy mud, my fingers clawing at the vitrified soil as I tried to pull a single breath into my lungs. But there was no air left, only the "Saint’s Breath," a holy vacuum that made my chest feel like it was being flattened by a mountain.Seeing that my nose wasn't able to do the work of breathing, I opted to use my mouth instead,
