The rich fragrance of medicine suddenly filled Jason's nose.

A very familiar scent.

The scent of the 'Creation Pill'.

But it's much more intense than the 'Minor Creation Pill' and the 'Creation Pill (Imitation)'.

Without a doubt, this is the true 'Creation Pill'!

The rumored pill that can reverse life and death, an elixir of miraculous power!

Jason smelled it.

'Dragon Head' Cui Long also smelled it.

As soon as the disguised 'Knife Monarch' smelled it, his expression changed.

Clang!

The blade sang.

The sharpness unveiled.

A blade light, forty meters long and perfectly straight, descended upon the rainbow halo.

No holding back.

A full-powered slash.

Because, as an alchemist, 'Knife Monarch' knew all too well what kind of secret medicine the 'Creation Pill' represented.

It truly can 'reverse life and death'!

It truly can 'change the course of fate'!

Simply put, if the 'Carefree King' took this 'Creation Pill' now, not only would his injuries be healed, he would be able to further advance.

This is what he absolutely did not wish to see.

But the result of this slash was beyond the expectations of the 'Knife Monarch'.

The rainbow halo shattered.

As soon as it came into contact with the blade light, it shattered, revealing a round elixir.

However, the shattered rainbow halo did not disappear.

It enveloped the entire manor like a mist.

Praying voices.

Pleading voices.

Wails.

Laments.

All sorts of painful sounds suddenly filled 'Knife Monarch's brain.

He seemed to see one person after another kneeling before him.

Initially, just a few, merely praying.

Each prayer fulfilled.

The people went wild with joy.

The news spread by word of mouth.

The number of praying and kneeling people began to surge.

Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands.

Ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand.

In a short time, it reached over a hundred thousand.

Furthermore, this number did not stop, continuing to increase.

Various sounds of prayer filled his ears, driving him to madness.

More importantly, mingled within those prayers was greed.

Endless greed.

Evil greed.

Ignorant greed.

Like an ouroboros devouring its own body, knowing no satisfaction, only consumption.

Ultimately, the one perishing would be himself.

Additionally…

Him!

He who had fused with the 'Heart Devouring Secret Technique,' 'Son of Heaven's Dragon Fist,' and other secret techniques from the other side of the Silver Coin, realized this, hence, he made a choice.

He exhausted the treasury of the royal estate and created a 'container'.

To store that 'greedy malice'.

Initially unsuccessful, but after several failures, he finally succeeded.

Moreover, he found that the shape of this 'container' could serve as a great 'killing move'.

To make this 'killing move' more 'concealed'.

He began to place the last 'Creation Pill' from the royal estate into it.

This arrangement was successful.

Anyone who saw him resurrect assumed it was the 'container' aiding his revival.

In actuality?

He simply relied on the 'Creation Pill' to deceive those fools.

Time and time again.

The effect was truly remarkable.

However, he never revealed the answer.

Because he wanted to keep this 'answer' for that person.

But…

Now it's okay!

Surrounded by numerous 'greedy malice', 'Knife Monarch' instantly perceived this.

Because it was too obvious.

Within the multitude of 'greedy malice', a substantial 'malice' was staring at him, mocking him.

In the illusion.

The 'Knife Monarch' saw the 'Carefree King'.

The 'Carefree King' at this moment lacked the previous dullness.

Had none of his earlier embarrassment.

Clad in regal splendor, with authority, smiling at the 'Knife Monarch'.

"You've been pretending all along?"

The 'Knife Monarch' asked in a deep voice.

"Of course!

Just as you know!

I have numerous enemies, without some secret cards, I wouldn't know how I'd die, just like… <subtex>.</subtex>

Now!"

The 'Carefree King's smile slightly contracted, his eyes showing killing intent.

The contracted smile turned into a sneer at this moment.

"'Heavenly Monster' that waste, you actually found him, let you impersonate him… no, I should say in your plan, 'Heavenly Monster' is the most crucial part, relying on 'him', you could approach me, delivering a fatal blow.

Thus, you cooperated closely with his disciple.

However, it's astounding you found his hiding place.

I guess you have quite a few Secret Agents in your employ, right?"

The sneering 'Carefree King' praised.

"How could my Secret Agents compare to 'The Six Fan School'?

Moreover, how could I compare to you who discard heroes after use?"

"Iron Arhat" and Lin Ping'an are your people, right?"

The 'Knife Monarch' asked.

The 'Carefree King' nodded briskly in agreement.

"They are mine, both useful pawns.

But for the greater good, they must die.

Such a pity."

The 'Carefree King' feigned a sigh.

"The greater good?

After killing to silence, you destroyed 'The Six Fan School' headquarters as an afterthought, although there are still scattered 'The Six Fan School' Secret Agents left, at this moment, they are in such disarray, entirely unable to perform their roles.

Meaning, you effectively destroyed his 'eyes and ears'.

What… are you ultimately planning?"

The 'Knife Monarch' asked.

But this time, the 'Carefree King' did not answer.

The 'Carefree King' smiled at the 'Knife Monarch'.
