Since the children still seemed to be in a state of disbelief, Kendall flashed a smile as she nodded. "Of course, I'm not tricking you. I picked all of you. I'll let you join my sect as soon as you agree."Kendall retrieved a small porcelain bottle filled with emerald green pills. "See these pills? I made them for all new members. You'll be a cultivator the second you take them."Kendall could not hide the evilness in her smirk as she spoke.The pills were Five Poison Soul-Sucking Pills, the Five Poison Sect's prized treasures. They were fatally poisonous, made from 81 different insects. Anyone who took the pill would lose control and go completely insane.Kendall's plan was simple. She would feed the Five Poison Soul-Sucking Pills to the children and send them to Skylar. Once Skylar absorbed their spirits, the poison would also enter his body. That would foil his plans of cultivating the Devil Nightmare.Kendall knew that Skylar had terrifying strength, and there were very few wa

Those children did not know they had been tricked, right until their last breath."They—"Just as Skylar was getting ready to wave over the 11th child, one girl seemed to have discovered something. She pointed at the ten children on the floor and cried out in terror, "Their faces are dark, they're ashen—"As she spoke, the remaining children glanced at the ten bodies. Indeed, the previous children's faces were dark, and they looked terrified. It was clear that they were dead."They're dead!""That's so scary.""Whoa!"The remaining children were ridden with panic. They began to cry, one by one. Some of the less brave children had wet themselves in terror.Frustrated by the noise, Skylar's expression grew ferocious. He roared, "Why are you crying? Shut up this instant."His anger only scared the children more and made them cry harder. Two of the children mustered the courage to attempt to run out of the tower. Those children finally understood that the handsome man before them

"I'm going to kill you! Argh!"Amid his fury, Skylar let out a crazed shout. He moved to rush forward to kill Kendall, but the fiend soul energy in his body was completely out of his control.The entire Prayer Tower trembled from the force as a flash of terrifying fiend soul energy radiated from Skylar's body.A few seconds later, Skylar could no longer take the force and keeled over. He had fallen unconscious.At the same time, fierce energy emanated from his body.Kendall did not hesitate; she moved to sit cross-legged and began to absorb the energy that leaked from Skylar.Kendall was not a fiend descendant, so she could not absorb Skylar's fiend soul energy. However, she had combined the ancient poisonous centipede's internal energy with her own. The ancient poisonous centipede was a creature that had lived for almost ten thousand years, and many fiend folks had taken it as a pet. That had forged a close bond between the fiend race and the beast. Under those circumstances, Ke

The way her energy exploded from her body was similar to that of Honorable Master Blanc's.How could that be?The more he pondered, the more Orlando seemed to draw a blank.He did not know that Kendall had absorbed Skylar's fiend soul energy. That was why the energy that she radiated was so powerful.Orlando's shock slowed his pace as well."Go to hell!"Then, Kendall raised her hands and brought them down against Orlando's chest. The move seemed light enough, but it had happened so quickly. Orlando did not manage to react in time to dodge the blow.The blow landed on Orlando's chest. He was sent flying a hundred meters backward with an agonized shriek. He landed heavily near the palace entrance as blood sprayed from his mouth. His pupils dilated, and he stopped breathing instantly.The sight rendered the remaining guards speechless with shock. They stood rooted to the floor, not daring to make another sound.Kendall was truly terrifying. She had defeated Captain Orlando with

The general was extremely agitated as he spoke. "I'm guessing that that person probably went to send a message."Lord Kenny could hardly contain his excitement at the news. He waved his hands. "Where is he? Bring him in."The general hurried out of the tent before reappearing quickly with a figure in tow. The man dressed like a wanderer; he had a relaxed expression. It seemed like his skill level was pretty admirable as well.The man's name was Henry Lowe, one of the Spirit Home Sect members. The Spirit Home Sect was a small sect in the North Moana continent, but all its members were fierce purveyors of justice. They immediately volunteered their aid when they knew that the New World Royals were going to the North Moana Continent."Who are you?"Lord Kenny sized Henry up and asked coldly, "What were you doing leaving the royal city so late? Tell the truth."Lord Kenny's expression was dark as he spoke, radiating the air of royalty.Henry merely smirked in response, and he spoke without
