Felix would lose all perception of the outside world when using the Soul Manifestation technique. If danger struck, he'd be completely helpless. Hence, he would never use it unless absolutely necessary or unless he had someone he trusted to guard him."The threat in your soul has been removed," Felix said. "You can choose to talk, or I'll make you talk. I'm sure you know where the difference lies."Viper grit his teeth as he realized he had no choice but to trust Felix."Hall of Souls!" he spat.After realizing that he was still alive upon uttering the words, Viper's eyes widened in shock.Felix wasn't just a powerful martial artist in the Grandmaster Realm. His control over souls was just as terrifying. The people who had bound his soul had said that it was unbreakable. So what was going on?Felix frowned."Hall of Souls? What is that?" he asked.It sounded like an organization to Felix.Now that he didn't have to worry about dying, Viper's anger started to bubble up."I was

Just as the gaping mouth was about to descend on Chloe, the middle-aged man was sent flying sideways. It crashed into the wall and exploded into a mist of blood. Only his severed head rolled to the ground."A martial artist? You're looking for death!" the man snarled.Even in that state, the man remained arrogant. His body had already begun regenerating as he roared in fury.The one who had struck at the critical moment, of course, was Felix. He let out a sigh of relief. Chloe would've been doomed if he had been even a second later.20 minutes later, the middle-aged man glared up at Felix with rage. At this point, all that was left of him was his head and neck."As expected, the soul energy of an A-tier Malevolent Phantom is ridiculously strong. It took this long just to wear it down," Felix commented.After some quick calculations, Felix realized that only someone who mastered the Transcendent Realm could pull this off. Other martial artists simply wouldn't be able to last until

"Is it really okay to feed all six prisoners to the Malevolent Phantom back-to-back like this, sir? Isn't it happening a bit too fast?" Marley asked.Felix stood by the window, gazing outside without turning around. "This is the first time I've seen a Malevolent Phantom react like it's been poisoned. That means the Hall of Souls is playing a long game. To them, only the outcome matters, and the process doesn't. "The fact that they gave Viper the entire batch of serum all at once proves that. The dosage must be excessive. No one would take the risk of running short. In that case, Chloe's survival is just an irrelevant side effect."Of course, this is all just my speculation. I'm not completely sure if I'm right, but this is the best chance we have to grab onto the Hall of Souls's tail."After a brief silence, Marley asked, "What I don't understand is how the Hall of Souls can be so certain that this particular A-tier Malevolent Phantom will kill everyone who takes the serum. What i

"Fine, you win," Felix said. "All your massage expenses in Kashmere are on me."Billy chuckled. "Now you're finally getting it. Alright, I'll tell you. "A long time ago, during a period of great turmoil, the Phaeron Codex and a few other legitimate soul cultivation techniques suddenly emerged. Martial artists flocked to them because soul cultivation was like opening a whole new door. But you know how strict the conditions for cultivation are. "Hence, human nature took over. People started experimenting and taking shortcuts. In no time, alternative soul cultivation techniques emerged, including the dark arts."The interesting thing is, the Red Moon Reincarnation Requiem was actually created by someone who had successfully cultivated the Phaeron Codex. He was naturally arrogant, extremely gifted, and didn't want to follow in the footsteps of those before him. "Hence, he decided to forge his own path and succeeded at that. However, what he created turned out to be a dark art. When

Just as the figure turned to leave, the other added one last instruction."The higher-ups don't want to draw too much attention from headquarters yet. So, when you retrieve that A-tier Malevolent Phantom, try not to kill anyone unless absolutely necessary.""Understood!"…At a shopping mall in Kashmere, Felix was browsing through stores, already having bought several items.It had been 24 hours since the A-tier Malevolent Phantom had consumed its last death row inmate. Had the Hall of Souls really given up? There had been no movement so far, and Felix was starting to feel frustrated. If this opportunity slipped away, getting another wouldn't be so easy.His plan couldn't be delayed for too long. After discussing with Xena, they had set a final deadline of 48 hours. If the Hall of Souls still didn't make a move by then, they would transport the A-tier Malevolent Phantom back to headquarters and hand it over to Elliott for research.If it were any other A-tier Malevolent Phanto
