Chapter 686: Pay for your sins
Alistair's tone was eerily calm, but the ground beneath them began to micro-fracture, a suffocation of raw, suppressed killing intent saturating the very air of the hall. "Which sect? Which elders?”Before Master Xie could answer, a loud, arrogant burst of laughter echoed from the roof of the inner sanctuary.BOOM!The wooden ceiling shattered inward as twenty three figures descended into the courtyard, landing in a tight, defensive formation surrounding Alistair and Master Xie.Alistair recognised them as the representatives of the righteous path that the righteous sects had sent previously. He didn't think they would dare to show their face before him again after the warning he'd given them last time. Clearly, they hadn't learned their lesson yet.The person leading them was Zhao Chen and his gaze was filled with hatred as he glared at Alistair Reid.Neither he nor the rest of the twenty two representatives had forgotten the humiliation they'd suffered at Alistair's hands the last
Chapter 685: Who did this?
With a final nod to the father and daughter, Alistair turned on his heel, pushed open the doors of the Willow Rest Inn, and stepped out into the crisp morning air of Valenhold.Waiting down the street was the black SUV. The sky above was clear, the storm of the previous night fully washed away, leaving behind an open path towards new challenges.Alistair slid into the driver's seat of the black SUV, the smooth purr of the engine breaking the quiet morning calm.Navigating through the reviving streets of Valenhold, he made his way directly to the municipal airport.After leaving the vehicle with the Southern Heavenly General's logistical team, he boarded a private imperial transport bound for Haven.As the aircraft ascended into the clear sky, Alistair leaned back, his golden eyes gazing out over the passing clouds.The threat in Valenhold was neutralized, but the broader syndicate web and its high-level facilitators remained.Hours later, the transport touched down smoothly on the ta
Chapter 684: The next morning
Fiona's spirit was willing, but her body was entirely mortal, unrefined by cultivation.Moreover, his journey to the capital was imminent."I cannot stay in Valenhold to act as your master," Alistair said softly, though his tone held no cruelty. "My path takes me elsewhere tomorrow."Fiona's shoulders slumped slightly, a flash of disappointment crossing her face, but before she could speak, Alistair continued."However... if your resolve is genuine, meet me here in the dining hall tomorrow morning before I depart."Fiona snapped her head up, her wide eyes instantly lighting up with hope. "I will! I'll be here!""Rest well today," Alistair added with a subtle, encouraging nod before walking past them and heading up the stairs to his room.Once inside his private quarters, Alistair locked the door and sat cross-legged at the desk.He pulled out a blank, high-grade parchment scroll along with an ink brush.While Fiona did not possess the spiritual Dantian required for high-level cultivat
Chapter 683: First step
Descending into the basement holding area, Talia, Sonia, and Dahlia immediately moved down the rows of cells.Using master keycards recovered from the guards, they unlocked every iron door, throwing them wide open.A wave of disbelief, followed by overwhelming relief, washed across the faces of the trapped men, women, and children."You... you really came back," the man from earlier choked out, his voice cracking with emotion as Sonia personally removed his heavy shackles."We promised you we would," Sonia said with a gentle, reassuring smile. "The leadership upstairs has been completely dismantled. You're all safe now."Alistair stood at the end of the stone corridor, his presence calm and steadfast as the captives began pouring out of the cells.Tears of gratitude flowed freely as people hugged one another, many looking toward Alistair with profound reverence."Head up to the courtyard in an orderly fashion," Alistair announced, his voice carrying clearly down the hall. "Imperial me
Chapter 682: Bringing an end to the monster
Alistair stepped forward through the blinding gale, his golden eyes burning with divine wrath."You have feigned a throne long enough," Alistair said, his voice ringing out with the finality of a celestial decree.With a sweeping motion of his hand, Alistair unleashed a torrential storm of golden lotuses that wrapped around Molech’s towering, multi-jointed shadow like chains of judgment. The ancient entity thrashed violently, trying to claw its way back through the spatial tear, but the divine bonds only tightened, burning away its stolen ley-line energy.FWOOSH!A pillar of pure, incandescent sunlight pierced straight through the stormy clouds above, descending directly upon the altar.Molech shrieked one final, agonizing note before its entire form was consumed by the purging fire, dissolving into nothingness alongside the corrupted altar and the stolen energy matrix.Silence descended upon the ruined hall—a heavy, absolute quiet broken only by the crackle of lingering flames and t
Chapter 681: the Great Molech
With his own life now at stake, how could Valen possibly accept it?No, even if he had to sacrifice everyone else, he would not hesitate to do so to save himself. With that in mind, he turned towards the artifact they had originally brought into the hall.The artifact was connected to the demon Valen and the rest of those in the trafficking ring worshipped.Indeed, they were all in a cult.But instead of asking for power like demonic cultivators, they sought riches and control instead. In any case, for the artifact to work, a sacrifice had to be made.Unfortunately, Valen couldn't get his hands on the captives trapped in the basement of the building.But that didn't mean there was no replacement. All he had to do now was simple. “Great Molech, please do not forsake me now. Give me the power I need to vanquish this insignificant pest and as payment, take the lives of all living beings in this hall!” Valen exclaimed, stunning everyone present. The other eleven leaders knew that Val
