Hamish wondered. Demon Seal Alliance has always been the most active organization in Ethereal Realm in
eradicating Demonic Cultivators, so why would Jared say these Demonic Cultivators are doing Demon Seal
Alliance’s bidding?
“Shut up! You’re courting death!” Xanthus furrowed his brows, his aura bursting forth instantaneously.
The revelation that the Demon Seal Alliance was sheltering Demonic Cultivators was a tightly guarded secret, one
that absolutely couldn’t be exposed. If word got out, it would tarnish the reputation of the Demon Seal Alliance,
possibly leading to the drastic measure of exterminating all the Demonic Cultivators they held captive to conceal
the truth.
“Elder Fabrizio, there’s no need for you to handle this kid personally. You’re granting him too much importance,”
Hyrum intervened, halting Xanthus.
To Hyrum, a mere Eighth Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator like Jared couldn’t possibly pose any significant threat.
In the next moment, Hyrum extended his palms towards the encompassing forest, unleashing poison veils into the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtatmosphere. Swiftly, a cacophony of roars erupted.
Scores of demon beasts with crimson eyes converged, fixing intense gazes on Jared and his group. Clearly, these
demon beasts were under Hyrum’s command.
Colors drained from Hamish’s face when he saw the dozens of demon beasts closing in. He said to Jared, “Jared,
thank you for risking your life to save us, but you’re not their match. I only hope you can take Kia and escape. I’ll
cover your retreat.”
Hamish had resolved to sacrifice himself. However, he didn’t want his daughter to perish alongside him. If he could
save Kiara’s life by staking his own and putting up a desperate fight, he wouldn’t hesitate to do so.
“We’ll escape together, Mr. Chevalier.” Jared remained undaunted as he surveyed the dozens of menacing demon
beasts.
He didn’t regard the numerous demon beasts as a significant threat. Given that they were under the influence of
the poison veil, all he needed to do was detoxify them.
His main concern lay in confronting the Demonic Cultivators, a formidable challenge. With Hamish injured, Jared
couldn’t handle them all alone.
After a moment of contemplation, Jared retrieved several pills and promptly crushed them, releasing clouds of
powder that wafted toward the swarm of demon beasts.
After the powder dispersed, the once- aggressive aura of the demon beasts subsided, and their eyes reverted to a
normal state.
“This guy is indeed formidable. He countered my poison veil so effortlessly!” Hyrum exclaimed in astonishment.
“Don’t bother with your poison anymore. Attack!” With that command, Xanthus took the lead, leaping and dashing
in Jared’s direction.
Observing this, Hyrum had no alternative but to follow suit, leading his group in the charge. Jared knitted his brows
at their approach. He swiftly grabbed Hamish and Kiara, turned on his heels, and fled. At that moment, escape was
their sole option as they were clearly outmatched.
However, owing to Hamish’s injury, he couldn’t keep pace. Recognizing that the enemy was closing in due to his
slower pace, Hamish declared, “Jared, take Kia and run. I’ll stay and hold them off. Otherwise, none of us will
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmescape.”
With determination, he wrested himself free, determined to remain behind and confront their pursuers.
“No, you two go ahead. I’ll buy you some time.” Jared wasn’t about to let Hamish face the danger alone.
If Hamish perished, their journey to the southern region would come to an abrupt end. Jared understood that it was
nearly impossible for the group to navigate their way out of Mount Crimson alone.
After all, Hamish was their guide. Without him, their group would have to double back. After enduring so many
hardships to reach where they were, Jared refused to give up just like that. Just as he was gearing up to remain
behind, a sudden roar echoed through the air.
The next moment, Tiger King, a silver tiger measuring over ten meters in length, emerged, accompanied by
numerous other formidable silver tigers.
“Go. I’ll hold them off.” Tiger King spoke in human language, directly addressing Jared.
The unexpected appearance of Tiger King left Hamish and Kiara stunned. Hearing Tiger King converse with Jared in
human language, the two stared at Jared in astonishment.
Without exchanging many words, Jared swiftly pulled Hamish and Kiara along, continuing their escape.
Simultaneously, Tiger King and the group of silver tigers lunged toward the Demonic Cultivators.
