Chapter 276: Chapter 276 -
When they heard my words, their expressions shifted dramatically.
"You... you promised to let us live!" the elderly man cried out in terror.
I gave a cold laugh. "Every last member of Earth Fiend Valley deserves death. I was deceiving you."
"You... you broke your word!" The old man nearly collapsed.
He lunged at me like a man possessed.
I made a fist and drove it straight through his chest!
The others met the same fate—with a sweep of my hand, I eliminated them all!
Earth Fiend Valley had fallen.
Aislinn Noble and Marvin Samuel, standing nearby, watched with horror filling their eyes. They stepped back instinctively, as though afraid of me.
I looked their way and said, "I only kill Earth Fiend Valley members."
Then I headed toward Conrad Schroeder.
Conrad had already risen from the formation by now.
He stared at his own corpse lying there, his face going white.
"Mr. Raymond, what... what happened?" Conrad asked, terrified.
I held nothing back and explained everything that had occurred.
After hearing my explanation, Conrad sat stunned.
"So... I possess a holy body now?" Conrad gulped hard.
He’d seen the holy body’s strength during our fight—it hadn’t lost ground at all!
With such a physique, his power wouldn’t just improve slightly!
"Thank you, Mr. Raymond!" Conrad was thrilled, dropping to his knees in gratitude.
I pulled Conrad to his feet and grinned. "How you handle explaining your new identity is up to you."
"Don’t worry, Mr. Raymond!" Conrad clenched his fists, sensing the tremendous energy flowing through his body.
Next, I ventured deeper into Earth Fiend Valley.
Earth Fiend Valley covered vast territory, with countless caves scattered throughout the canyon.
Each cave displayed human remains and venomous creatures.
Things like parasites, poisonous serpents, toads, and more.
At Earth Fiend Valley’s far end stood a massive stone statue, crafted by human hands.
The statue bore the likeness of the Earth Fiend Valley Founder.
I gazed up at the enormous statue, my expression cold and merciless.
This Founder had established Earth Fiend Valley, and because of him, countless innocents had suffered.
I raised the Golden Light and with a thunderous crash, I destroyed the statue!
Under the tremendous force, the statue collapsed!
"Mr. Raymond!"
Conrad came running from the distance then.
He called out, "I discovered these pills in the valley!"
The pill Conrad held matched the one Helen Martin had boasted about earlier.
I felt a surge of joy and quickly questioned, "How many are there?"
"At least three snake skin pouches!" Conrad said with excitement.
The pills held pure qi; three snake skin pouches worth was beyond calculation.
"Take all the pills with you later," I instructed.
"Yes!" Conrad agreed immediately.
Then I moved toward the Earth Fiend Valley prison cells.
The two dungeons held captive girls and martial artists.
Right now, hopelessness was etched across their faces.
"I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die..." Little Diane kept repeating this phrase like someone who’d lost her mind.
The others weren’t faring much better—their ordeals had left deep psychological scars.
Suddenly, sounds came from the dungeon entrance.
Everyone’s faces changed drastically again, and some began weeping!
"Don’t kill me, don’t kill me..."
Cries of anguish echoed through the dungeon, and everyone instinctively huddled together.
Seeing their condition, I couldn’t help but sigh quietly. The mental trauma from such experiences might never fully heal.
"Don’t be scared, I’m here to rescue you." I gripped the bronze sword and with a gentle swing, sliced the door in half.
But these people seemed not to trust me, and none dared emerge.
I felt quite frustrated and didn’t know what to say for the moment.
"Cousin? What are you doing here?" Aislinn Noble suddenly cried out in amazement!
Hearing her voice, a woman in her twenties immediately looked toward Aislinn.
"Ais...Aislinn? Is it really you?" The woman’s tears began flowing instantly.
She rushed out quickly and embraced Aislinn, sobbing uncontrollably.
"How did you wind up here?" Aislinn asked in shock.
Aislinn’s cousin said through her tears: "I heard the Ancient Tower’s fortune telling was reliable, so I wanted to try it, but I never expected them to lock me up here..."
Hearing this, Aislinn couldn’t help but feel frightened.
If not for me, she might have ended up imprisoned here as well, right?
At that moment, Diane also recognized me. She wiped her tears and ran out of the dungeon.
"Mason Raymond, is it really you..." Diane said with a shaking voice.
"Those people were so horrible, they took Watson Thompson away, I..."
"They’re dead now." I cut off Diane’s words.
Aislinn also said from the side: "Those bad people were killed by Mr. Raymond, you’re all safe now!"
Finally, these girls started trying to leave the dungeon.
After confirming I wasn’t a bad person, the girls began expressing their gratitude to me.
I didn’t have time to listen to their sincere words, instead turning to head toward another dungeon.
This dungeon was packed with martial artists. The difference was that many of the martial artists were already skin and bones, with withered corpses everywhere.
My brow creased.
I touched my chin, as if figuring something out.
"Those pills... could they have been created from these martial artists’ Inner Strength?" I said quietly.
Helen Martin could drain others’ Inner Strength, but the dantian’s capacity was limited. Helen Martin might have converted the excess Inner Strength into pills!
"This Helen Martin really had some talent." I couldn’t help but sigh slightly.
After rescuing the people, I planned to leave Earth Fiend Valley.
The group hurried toward the airport together. Along the way, Marvin Samuel whispered: "Mr. Raymond, thanks to you, otherwise we definitely would have been in that dungeon too..."
I closed my eyes and said nothing.
Aislinn whispered: "Mr. Raymond, may I have your phone number?"
"Mr. Raymond is exhausted and needs rest. You shouldn’t bother him." Conrad Schroeder said seriously.
Seeing this, Aislinn looked at Conrad Schroeder and said: "Uncle, can you give me your phone number?"
Conrad Schroeder’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, but eventually he gave his phone number to Aislinn.
The car raced along, and Diane looked at the unconscious Watson Thompson with a somewhat guilty look on her face.
Soon, our car reached the airport.
Conrad Schroeder went to handle the boarding procedures, and then everyone prepared to depart.
"Mr. Raymond." At this moment, Aislinn suddenly grabbed my sleeve.
"Will we have the chance to meet again in the future?" Aislinn whispered.
I smiled: "Maybe."
After saying this, I turned and walked toward the airplane.
Beauty loves heroes—an eternal truth.
Aislinn was no different.
The sight of my heaven-stained sword striking down Helen Martin left a permanent mark in Aislinn’s heart.
She gazed in my direction, her lovely eyes filled with shifting emotions.
But I didn’t take her words seriously at all.
After boarding the plane, Conrad Schroeder joked: "That girl named Aislinn might have fallen for you."
I glanced at Conrad Schroeder and said: "I’ve only met her once, where does this attraction come from?"
"You can’t say that. You haven’t known Miss Sean for long either." Conrad Schroeder shot back.
I was immediately left speechless.
At this moment, I suddenly felt the mark in my mind flicker and glow.
Then, my divine sense was directly pulled into the stone statue.
