Silence ruled the surroundings.

Everyone at the scene looked at the young man who stood near the lifeless body of the black-clothed man.

Many were confused, especially the servants and juniors who were alerted by the fight earlier.

They clearly saw Azrael being beaten one-sidedly earlier and the next thing they knew, he was standing there looking at the dead body with calmness as if what he did was only a minor thing and not worth mentioning.

The juniors that he saved two weeks ago, knew that he was strong but not to this extent.

Lian, Tihana and Riana who were previously worried about his safety were now looking at him with their mouths open agape.

The servants saw the seemingly weak and harmless guest of theirs was in fact a beast capable of taking the life of a powerful cultivator.

Everyone has their own thoughts, some were amazed, some were afraid, some were relieved and there were also mesmerized by Azrael's dominance and one of them was Bianca.

Bianca smiled beautifully, her smile was like a flower that blooms when the full moon shines.

Behind her smile, there's confidence in Azrael's capabilities.

Azrael walked toward the three young misses while wearing a handsome smile on his face.

He stopped in front of the three flabbergasted Young Misses.

"Well, there's no danger anymore, you guys can relax. I would go first because there's some 'business' I need to finish."

Before Lian, Tihana, Riana or any of the people in the scene could speak he vanished.

"Well, there's no need to worry, my 'husband' would definitely be safe on doing his last 'business'." Bianca said.

Lian, as if slapped on the face after hearing the word 'husband', woke up. She turned her head towards her Aunt 'Elmy'. She wore a complicated look. Trying to muster courage, she looked below for a moment and gripped her clothes with her two hands. She then returned her eyes towards her Aunt 'Elmy'.

"A-aunt, can I have your time?" She nervously asked.

""Sure, your two friends can follow." She said,

Bianca brought the three to her room.

"Now that we are only here, you can speak to your heart's content."

"I-I love Azrael." Lian meekly declared but her tiny voice was heard by the other three as if an audible sound.

Tihana and Riana, looked at her with their eyes wide open while Tihana brought her hands towards her mouth trying to cover her shock.

A bold declaration!

"I know it is not good to be in love with someone's lover, not to mention with the lover of my Aunt." She paused. "Azrael saved my life not only once but twice, I may have known him only for these two weeks but now I am sure that I am in love with him. I am telling you all of this because I want to seek permission." At this point, Lian's eyes were full of determination, and she took a deep breath. "Please allow me to hold my infatuation for him. Allow me to have a secret admiration for him. Even if it remains hidden from him forever, please allow me to cherish my love for him."

Lian expected that her Aunt would be angry at her, that's why she readied herself for the worst. However, contrary to her expectation. Her Aunt 'Elmy' only smiled sweetly and walked towards her.

Bianca stretched her arm towards nervous Lian's face and caressed it.

"Silly girl, you don't need to hide your feelings with Azrael. Go confess to him, if he accepts your feelings then you are always welcome to his harem. Actually, not only you but also your two other friends." Her sweet smile transformed into a teasing smile as her eyes traveled to Tihana and Riana.

Tihana and Riana couldn't even utter a single word as their faces turned red.

****

Inside a certain room, a middle-aged man with a burly frame was sitting on an expensive seat as he brought a glass full of wine to his mouth.

He took a sip and his tongue indulged in the expensive taste of the wine.

"He should be done by now. At last, I could leave this place, and the Master would surely be delighted upon my return," he said.

The man was confident in Unor's capability and efficiency. With the treasure entrusted by him, even a peak Profound Sovereign Stage Cultivator would not be able to detect Unor's presence, it could even confine a whole room. He was also not worried about Unor doing strange things to their target because he knows how deep Unor's fear towards their Master is.

"Sure, he was already done, his life I mean, Owner Edward." A voice traveled in the air which startled and alerted the middle-aged man.

Edward stood up and surveyed the room. He looked around and saw the closed window of the room on the left side was already open and a young man's figure was sitting on it, while his legs were crossed.

Edward squinted his eyes before they opened wide as they can be.

"It's you! Wait, you being here means that Unor failed. But how!? Even if you are a 9th Profound Sovereign Realm Cultivator you shouldn't —"

"Who says I am a 9th Profound Sovereign Realm Cultivator?"

"Then, don't tell me you are already at the Heaven Sovereign Realm?"

"Not either, I am still at Blood Refining Realm." Azrael calmly stated.

"Blood Refining Realm?"

"It's no surprise that you don't know it."

Before Edward could respond, Azrael already vanished from the window and already standing in front of Edward.

"W-What do you want?"

"Are you an idiot or what? After trying to kidnap Lian, are you really asking me what I want? What a silly question."

Without further ado, Azrael stretched his hand and grabbed Edward's head.

Edward couldn't utter a single sound or moved one of his fingers and only let Azrael's palm land on his forehead.

"Arrrgh!!!" A heart-wrenching scream came out of Edward's mouth.

The moment Azrael's palm landed and gripped his head, he felt as if the skin from his head was being ripped and his skull being crushed open. He felt his brain was stabbed trillions of times by a poisonous needle and each stab was more painful than the previous one.

If he could he would rather die than experience what he was experiencing.

Blood flowed out from his orifices. His mouth spasms, as his eyes rolled up, his body couldn't help but tremble and the smell of his 'soil' lingered in the air.

As a Qi Core Realm Cultivator, Edward was still not free from human necessity, however, he have longer tolerance for a normal human, he could endure not eating and excreting for a month. To be completely freed from this cycle he needs to break through to Profound Sovereign Realm.

Edward's body continued to spasm and excreted all of his dirt due to the pain he felt.

Azrael then removed his palm from Edward's head. And Edward's lifeless body fell into the pool of blood that was formed under his feet.

What Azrael did was read Edward's memory. There are many methods to read someone's memory, and some are so heaven-defying that with only one look from the user, he or she could already see someone's memory like an open book. And what Azrael used was a cruel one, resulting in ripping its target's soul.
