Chapter 2157 We Are Even
With a deafening boom, the room was smashed into smithereens. The debris flying in the air was also blown away
into the far distance by Jared's aura.
At that moment, Jared and the soul remnant were exposed in the wide-open courtyard.
The huge explosion also attracted a lot of disciples from Luminous Sect.
By then, Matthew had almost recovered completely. As he stared at Jared and the figure facing off in mid-air, a
grim look spread across his face.
“Mr. Campbell, this soul remnant has been hiding within your body. It's the source of the years of torment that
you've suffered through,” declared Jared as he pointed his sword at the figure.
Fury raged in Matthew's eyes as he glared at the figure.
He swung his arm, causing orbs of light to rise from the Luminous Sect. These orbs rose mid-air and formed a
shapeless web that surrounded the figure.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe figure finally revealed a hint of panic when Matthew did that. A solemn look appeared on its face.
“Blazing Sun!” bellowed Matthew.
The shapeless web was instantly engulfed in scorching flames before it began to shrink in the figure's direction,
blocking any path of escape that it might have.
“How dare you injure me, Matthew? I'll make you pay the price a hundred times over! Don't forget this is only my
soul remnant. Even if you destroy it, it won't affect me much. However, I will ensure that Luminous Sect will be
doomed beyond redemption...” threatened the figure in the face of the fire web, which kept shrinking in size.
On the other hand, Matthew merely snorted coldly. The flames burned even more ferociously.
“Argh!” The figure finally let out a shriek of pain.
“Don't kill it, Mr. Campbell!”
When Jared saw that, he immediately rushed in front of Matthew to stop him.
However, it was too late. The figure had already been reduced into ashes, leaving no traces behind.
Jared could not help but sigh when he saw that the figure had disappeared.
“Was there a reason you wanted to spare the soul remnant?” asked Matthew.
“Mr. Campbell, the soul remnant managed to remain in your body for so many years. Even though it had been
forced out, it was still so powerful. Evidently, the person in his original form must be highly skilled. More
importantly, his original body won't be too far
from here! The soul remnant one leaves behind after one's death is the weakest. There aren't a lot of Demonic
Cultivators that can create soul remnants alive. There are distance constraints when it comes to controlling these
soul remnants, so it's not like they can be controlled from any distance possible. Hence, I wanted to let the soul
remnant escape so that we can track it and find where the original body of the Demonic Cultivator is,” explained
Jared to Matthew.”
That was the reason why Jared had not absorbed and refined the soul remnant earlier.
Destroying a soul remnant would not harm the Demonic Cultivator's original body significantly.
However, now that the soul remnant had been eliminated, it would be much more difficult to find the actual
Demonic Cultivator.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt present, Luminous Sect was out in the open while the Demonic Cultivator remained hidden in the shadows. If the
latter wanted to attack, Luminous Sect would not have time to defend itself.
After hearing Jared's explanation, Matthew also realized that he had acted too rashly earlier. Yet, now that things
had reached this stage, there was no choice but to deal with the situation step by step.
"Young man, since you've saved my life, I'm eternally grateful. Just tell me if you want anything. As long as it's
something that Luminous Sect has, I definitely won't be petty with it. “
Matthew thanked Jared.
“You saved my life too, Mr. Campbell. We're even now.” Jared smiled faintly.
Matthew was stunned for a while before bursting into laughter. “We're even. However, since you've already come
to Luminous
Sect, stay here for a few more days. Let me fulfill my duty as a host.”
“Sure!” Jared nodded.
Since Jared still planned to find out more information about the Spring of Regeneration from these hidden sects, he
was more than happy to receive Matthew's invitation to stay.
Coincidentally, he wanted to ask Matthew about the sects and learn more about them.
