Chapter 63: Torture And Tones
Lin Feng's POVThe sweet was bliss while I was munching on it. She asked a question, but I was enjoying the sweet and could barely register anything she said. The taste of clover honey spread across my tongue, smooth and rich, coating my senses in something almost comforting. Warmth followed, deceptive, trickling down my throat.Then, the honey transformed. It twisted and warped and slowly became something alive. A swarm of wasps erupted across my nerves. The change was instantaneous. A Tier-4 neurotoxin detonated inside me, flooding my system with violent, searing energy. It clashed brutally with the shadow-ichor already in my veins, the two forces grinding against each other like opposing storms.My nervous system ignited, every nerve fired at once.My body convulsed against the restraints, a strangled sound tore from my throat. I felt suffocated. At the same time, I felt deep pain. The pain didn’t spike, neither wasn't a piercing kind of pain. it exploded inside of me, consuming
Chapter 62: The Mana-Null Cell
Lin Feng's POVSince I was brought into custody, no one had come to visit me, although it had only been a day. I didn't expect anyone to pay me any sort of visit or anything like that. I knew I wasn't going to die here though, I was going to make it out. If people I knew were to try and visit me, people like Shen or Chen, they would have been annihilated instantly. Not by the guards or the elder or priest. But by the pure mana that existed in this environment. Perhaps Chen would have lasted a bit, because for all we know, he was the chosen one. Maybe, maybe not. I had already begun thinking of ways I'd burst out of this place without being very noticeable. The light-hooks that were buried deep in my shoulders hummed with a holy and merciless frequency. It wasn’t just pain, it was invasive, almost surgical, like a divine drill burrowing straight into my marrow. Each vibration crawled through my bone and nerves, spreading outward in sickening ripples that refused to settle down, n
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
