Freya decided to trust Adrian and team up with him. With a charming smile, she cast an enchantment spell to influence the judgments of the others. Those who had initially doubted her were now completely compliant.Adrian was pleased but had to hide his satisfaction. It was challenging to maintain his pretense, but he pressed on, feigning impatience as he urged, “Stop wasting time! Opportunity waits for no one. If we don’t leave now, when will we?”He then looked down the mountain. Although the view wasn’t grand, the mix of bridges and streams had an eerie yet unique charm. Adrian had led a disciplined life, enduring many hardships while traveling from the Southern Forest to the South Sea, and then to the central lands.While Adrian’s life wasn’t carefree, it was close. He wasn’t just observing the white fog; he was reflecting on his past. His mind was in turmoil, but with the clarity brought by the Draco Veinergy, he could once again see the web of fate and the man he had encountere

“You scoundrel!” Gallahan shouted angrily. “You won’t die a good death! Using us as sacrificial pawns, huh? I won’t let you have your way even in death!”The Four Symbols Formation was fully activated, and the four of them were immobilized. Adrian sighed in relief, ignoring their provocations and letting out a couple of cold snorts before closing his eyes to rest.Freya, initially anxious, grew more uneasy as Adrian remained calm and ignored the chaos. She realized the men’s shouting wouldn’t affect the portal. The Four Symbols Formation would not stop unless the core of the portal was destroyed after activation. Confident in this, Adrian remained composed, while Freya, with her limited knowledge of ancient texts, showed increasing signs of panic.As the immortals’ screams weakened, they turned into low groans and eventually faint whimpers. The portal continued to drain their spiritual energy until their life force was depleted. As the membrane shrank toward the center, Freya’s anxi

Despite Adrian's best efforts, he couldn't shake off his pursuers. Realizing escape was futile, he resolved, 'If I can't escape, then I'll destroy you!'With that thought, his sword essence shot out, faster than lightning, targeting his opponents.Boom!A thunderous sound echoed through the area, and Adrian watched as the space before him rippled and flashed, revealing several figures. His probing attack had clearly failed to harm them. As soon as these figures appeared, they launched a powerful offensive, trapping Adrian within a formation.The leading figure sneered, "Kid, I'm impressed you noticed us. Not bad."Adrian's eyes narrowed as he coldly replied, "You act like persistent pests—of course, I sensed you. Now, who are you, and why are you chasing me?"Seeing the aggressive approach of his opponents, Adrian decided there was no need for courtesy and released a powerful aura of his own.The leading figure stepped forward, coldly saying, "You dare question us? You broke thr

The powerful sword essence roared across the battlefield, instantly engulfing the enemies.“This is bad!” Realizing the sword formation was upon them, the enemies quickly went on high alert. But they were no match for Adrian. As the endless sword essence rained down, they swung their swords desperately in defense.Clank, clank, clank!Despite their best efforts, they couldn't withstand the relentless assault.After a moment, Freya spoke up, “Mr. Adrian is fighting so hard. I can’t just stand by and watch.”Her figure then flickered like a phantom, weaving gracefully through the enemies. As they struggled to fend off Adrian’s attacks, they were also forced to contend with Freya’s sudden, swift strikes. This relentless assault overwhelmed them, leaving them unable to defend effectively.In no time, most of the enemies were slain. Only the leader remained, realizing he was outmatched and attempting to flee.At that moment, Adrian smiled slightly. “Trying to run? Not so fast!” He g

The black-clad figures, armed with weapons and magical artifacts, were clearly no ordinary troublemakers. As soon as they entered the inn, they began scanning the room as if searching for someone.Adrian recognized these people’s attire as identical to the Daemaxim members he had previously encountered, entirely giving away who had sent them. Adrian was impressed by how quickly Daemaxim mobilized its members. It had been only a short time since he killed those people, and they were already hunting him down.Realizing the danger, Adrian subtly used his powers to alter his appearance as the innkeeper approached the Daemaxims with a cautious smile and asked, “Esteemed guests, what brings you to our humble establishment?”The presence of the Daemaxims had clearly unsettled the inn’s patrons, but the innkeeper dared not confront them directly and only inquired tentatively.One of the Daemaxims, clearly the leader, replied, “An evil outsider immortal came here and killed more than ten of
