Chapter 791
Elijah lowered his gaze to Mother. Some colour was returning to her face, and her chest had begun to rise and fall in faint, steady breaths.“Mr. Elijah, she’s getting better,” Iris said with a sniff.“Looks like it.” He turned to Iris, who grew uneasy under his questioning look.“Mr. Elijah… is there something you need?”Elijah checked that none of the other Zenith women were close enough to hear, then leaned nearer. His voice was so low that Iris could barely hear the question. “If Mother is really your biological mother, didn’t she break one of the sacred laws of the Zenith Sisterhood?”Iris went still and her face lost colour. Elijah had believed her when she spoke of being born into the Sisterhood. There had been no sign to doubt her sincerity. But now, he could no longer assume that what Iris believed and what was true were always the same thing.“Run! Run!” A young man came sprinting from the direc

Elijah said nothing and did not even blink, frozen in his squatting position beside Mother. Iris studied him closely. “Mr. Elijah, you can’t possibly think that’s true, right? If someone really helped Mother create the Zenith Sisterhood, she would never hide that person. Mother is kind, and she always repays people for their kindness.”“You seem very sure those rumours couldn’t be true,” Elijah said calmly, careful not to reveal why the name had affected him.“Hmph! Of course I’m sure.” Iris sounded almost defensive. “It was those old elders Mother allowed into the Zenith Sisterhood before we even had senior sisters. They had already been part of Zenith for years before some of us were born, but everyone could see what they were like. They were always trying to bend Mother’s rules or find ways around them.“They were the ones spreading all that nonsense for reasons only they understood, and none of it ever affected the Sisterhood anyway. Eventual

A few seconds passed without any response from Mother. Lexi could no longer hold herself back and stomped forward. “What did you do to her? Didn’t you act like you knew what you were doing?”Elijah watched the two golden needles embedded in Mother’s body without answering.“You, answer!” Sade cursed at him.He did not move, but the Heaven-Piercing Needle at Mother’s Yintang point sank a little deeper on its own and tilted gently to the left.“What does that mean?” Rowan asked.Elijah ignored her and raised his head to Iris, who was trembling beside Mother with tears in her eyes.“The remaining needles. I need them.”Iris reached into the side compartment of her clothing and pulled out a neatly folded square of cloth. She opened it beside Mother, revealing dozens of silver acupuncture needles arranged inside.Elijah took them all in one hand, divided them between his palms and leaned closer to Moth

Mother finally turned away from the entrance of the basin and looked towards Elijah, who still lay motionless on the ground.“Elijah, are you alright…?”Her voice was weak, but the fear and concern in it were unmistakable.She tried to reach him, only to find her vision growing hazy after a single step. The basin seemed to spin around her, and when she forced herself forward again, pain struck through her lungs.“Cough! Cough!”Mother collapsed to the ground, coughing up blood under her veil. The black blood had grown thick and viscous, while her face rapidly lost what little colour it had left.“Mother!” The Zenith women rushed out from among the crowd and surrounded her. Rowan reached her first and turned her over while Iris dropped beside them to check her pulse.Mother’s hand slipped weakly from Rowan’s grasp.“What’s happening to Mother?” Lexi asked in panic. “Iris, check quickly!”Iris held Mother’s fingers, tears gathering in her eyes. “It’s the pill. It suppressed Mother’s con
Chapter 787
The weapons of a Grandmaster were not ordinary guns or swords that could simply be bought from some roadside market. They were objects of terrifying destruction, weapons capable of defying the laws of heaven and earth in the hands of those powerful enough to wield them. How could anyone possibly possess this many? Elijah knew he was not dreaming. His heart had seemed to forget how to beat the moment dozens of Heaven-Piercing Needles appeared behind Isadora, but he forced himself out of his shock and clenched one fist. The two golden needles that still belonged to him responded immediately, descending from above towards his outstretched hand. Then a sharp, tearing pain ripped through his cultivation core. “Cough!” Elijah dropped to his knees and spat out a mouthful of blood. For several seconds, his mind was completely blank. His vision blurred, then slowly cleared, leaving him staring at the ground in utter confusion. What had just happened? Was that a backlash? He had not eve

Elijah Langston did not respond.His attention was completely engrossed in the two golden needles resting across his palm. “Finally…” he whispered calmly. “You are here.”“Elijah, where did you find those…?” Mother’s voice came weakly from behind him, yet there was unmistakable dread beneath it. “What are you doing with a Grandmaster’s weapon…?”Elijah made to turn towards her.“Die!” Garrick had already stumbled back onto his feet. Despite the blood pouring from his mouth and the condition of his chest, he forced his remaining spiritual energy through his body and unleashed a violent wave towards Elijah.Elijah turned back immediately, tightening his hand around the golden needles before punching directly into the incoming attack.Bang!The spiritual energy blew apart almost instantly, scattering from his fist as though it had been nothing more than a violent gust of wind.The backlash alone made Garrick stagger and cough up another mouthful of blood. His eyes widened as he stared
