Chapter 679: The cultivator named Crimson
The next moment, Alistair sensed several dark energy sources.The girls with him immediately put up their guard as they laid eyes on the sources of the dark energy.They were people, but something was fundamentally wrong.They were crawling on all fours like animals, their eyes were blood red and their veins were bulging. They looked like rabid beasts. Alistair's heart nearly broke at the sight. “This…”“They were unable to handle the backlash of the pills I created but I am not a wasteful person. So I turned them into my loyal dogs.” Crimson coldly said. The grotesque, twitching forms of Crimson’s human hounds filled the obsidian ballroom, letting out low, guttural whimpers that grated against the nerves.Once innocent victims whose minds had been completely shattered by the demonic backlash of the Blood-Soul Pills, they now scrambled across the polished marble like rabid beasts, saliva dripping from their bared, bloodstained fangs.Talia, Sonia, and Dahlia instinctively shifted
Chapter 678: A den of monsters
Down below, Patriarch Valen raised his hands, signaling for silence as the sinister applause faded back into a tense, expectant hush."To commemorate this milestone," Valen continued, a cruel, fanatic smile stretching across his gaunt face, "we shall inaugurate the ritual of the Eclipse. Bring forth the catalyst!"At his command, heavy iron grates set into the floor behind the elevated thrones slowly parted.A massive, obsidian altar—etched with pulsing runes of dark, coagulated blood—rose from the subterranean depths.Bound tightly to the center of the altar was a shimmering, celestial energy matrix, vibrating with pure life-force.Alistair’s golden eyes flashed with sudden, blinding fury.The "catalyst" wasn't an ordinary artifact; it was a captured fragment of divine ley-line energy, stolen to serve as the anchor for whatever abomination the shadow council was trying to birth.Across the grand hall, the heavy, reinforced bronze exit doors began to slowly grind shut, sealed from the
Chapter 677: The Annual Eclipse Ball
The moment the echoes died away, Talia lifted her head.The trembling, fragile posture vanished instantly, replaced by an aura of razor-sharp deadliness.With a casual flick of her wrists, she channeled a fraction of her internal Qi.SNAP.The heavy, estate-grade iron manacles shattered like brittle glass.Sonia and Dahlia effortlessly slipped out of their bindings a second later, stretching their limbs with quiet efficiency.Across the corridor, a young captive woman pressed her face against the rusted bars of the adjacent cell, gasping in shock. "Y-You're not... you're not helpless...""Please!" a desperate man whispered loudly from another cell, reaching his bruised hands through the bars. "If you can break the chains, open our doors too! They're going to sacrifice us! Please don't leave us here!"A chorus of desperate, hushed pleas erupted from the surrounding dark cells, the captives begging for their freedom.Talia stepped up to the bars, her silver-gray eyes softening with prof
Chapter 676: Something ancient dwells below
The transport truck surged forward, rolling past the outer checkpoint and entering the obsidian courtyards of the estate.The trap was fully closed.As the truck came to a halt in the dimly lit loading bay, Alistair raised his head, his golden eyes glowing with a cold, absolute light in the shadows."We are in," Alistair said quietly, his voice carrying effortlessly to his operatives. "Remember, don't engage anyone. Wait until there is no guard with you. Break out of your bindings and create an opening for me to slip in.”Talia, Sonia, and Dahlia cracked their knuckles beneath their dresses, identical, lethal smiles touching their lips. "Understood, boss."The rear doors of the truck unlocked with a heavy click.The Annual Eclipse Ball had begun, and the executioners had arrived.The heavy transport truck glided silently into the cavernous shadows of Sector C's loading bay.Overhead, industrial pipes hissed, venting faint plumes of steam into the damp, chilling air of the estate's low
Chapter 675: The Obsidian Palace
Alistair gave a calm, unbothered nod. "I had a feeling someone would be sent to look. I appreciate the swift work."Pushing open the car door, Alistair stepped out onto the tarmac.He walked over to the nearest unconscious enforcer, crouched down, and snapped his fingers, channeling a sharp spike of internal Qi into the man's meridian points.The thug jolted violently awake, gasping for air before his eyes locked onto Alistair.Pure, unadulterated terror flooded his face, and he began to scream in blind panic, scrambling backward on his heels. "M-Monster! Don't come near me! Stay back—"Alistair raised a single finger, letting a fraction of his terrifying aura press down on the air. The man’s screams choked off instantly in his throat, his body freezing rigid."Quiet," Alistair commanded softly. "Who sent you?""S-Sinclair!" the terrified enforcer sobbed, trembling uncontrollably. "Young Master Lucas Sinclair! He found out you humiliated him earlier and ordered us to tail you and rep
Chapter 674: Picking up girls
“I see,” Cecilia muttered. “Alright then, I'll speak to him. They should be with you before tomorrow evening.”“That would be great,” Alistair said.“Also, Alistair, you should be careful. I've been looking into things from my end and… you are right. The trafficking ring isn't just in the south. I have reason to believe they have helpers even here in the capital. So it's safe to say they might have access to some things that could put you in danger.”“Don't worry, I'll handle whatever comes up. Also, maybe you should stop investigating for now. As I'm not in the capital yet, it could be risky.” Cecilia snorted. “Are you looking down on your older sister?”Alistair let out a quiet, knowing sigh, a faint trace of a smile touching his lips."I am not looking down on you, sister," Alistair replied, his voice laced with a gentle, brotherly warmth. "I am simply aware of how deep the roots of this syndicate go. If they have infiltrated the capital as well, every move you make is being watch
