The two parties remained in a standoff, neither daring to make a move at that moment. Considering the
situation at present, it was very likely that they would both suffer devastating losses if they were to
battle.
After an indeterminate time, the space around them gradually started to turn blurry. However, no one
noticed that.
Soon, an aura permeated the air, and everyone’s vision blurred. When they gathered their wits around
them, they found themselves in the center of an enormous altar.
Countless massive and thick pillars stood among them. Not only was it exceedingly dark all around, but
there was also an eerie feeling to it. That aside, people started materializing around Jared and the
others.
Those who had initially disappeared all reappeared there. But then, many of them were littered with
injuries, and their faces were lined with exhaustion.
“Mr. Chance!”
At that precise moment, Kaison spotted Jared and hurried over with the Tall family.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJared noticed that the man was also injured. Worse still, two of the few cultivators of the Tall family who
were with him were gone.
“What exactly happened, Kaison?” he asked with a slight frown.
“I’ve got no idea what happened either, Mr. Chance. After passing through the portal of light, I arrived in
a forest. There were a lot of mystical herbs and beasts there, and we got into a conflict with other
cultivators in gathering mystical herbs and beast cores. Two of our men ended up killed,” Kaison
answered dejectedly.
Hearing that, Jared swept his eyes around, only to see that less than half of the hundreds of cultivators
were left. The wandering cultivators, in particular, were in a tragic state. Even if they survived, they had
sustained severe injuries.
It was the epitome of giving up one’s life for the sake of riches. Just to obtain the treasure, everyone
had no qualms about taking such a great risk.
Besides, Jared realized that there were the most numbers of cultivators on their side. He surmised that
it was probably because their capabilities were on par, so no one dared make a move against them.
If he had not teamed up with the wandering cultivators in the very beginning, they would have likely
been killed off slowly, with few of them left.
“What happened to you, Typhon?”
Meanwhile, the other four members of the Five Slayers voiced that question in surprise upon noticing
the blood at the corner of Typhonis mouth.
They were the strongest among the cultivators there, and they would never be injured unless targeted
by a group of cultivators.
The instant Typhon saw that his companions were there, his confidence ballooned. He then swung his
gaze at Jared icily.
“A kid caught me off guard and injured me!” he snarled, murderous intent radiating off him.
“Who dared to make a move against a member of the Demon Seal Alliance? Woodley demanded
furiously, his brows knitted together.
“It was him!”
Typhon pointed right at Jared. The other four men swung their gazes at Jared. When they perceived
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat he was merely at Fourth Level Body Fusion Realm, they were all stunned. Disbelief was written all
over their faces.
“You’re not kidding us, are you, Typhon? That kid is just at Fourth Level Body Fusion Realm. How
could he sneak an attack on you? Even if you stood still, he’d never be able to hurt you!”
Phaethon did not believe it at all. The others did not believe it either since the gap in capabilities
between them was too vast.
If the person were an extraordinarily talented Eighth Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator, there was a
possibility of battling someone a level higher and defeating a Ninth Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator.
However, it was absurd for Jared at Fourth Level Body Fusion Realm to defeat a Ninth Level Body
Fusion Realm cultivator at his peak.
“I’m not kidding. The fire he has is even more powerful than yours. As you know, I fear fire the most. My
capabilities are compromised in this land of fire,” Typhon said.
“Even if he could play with fire, he’s just at Fourth Level Body Fusion Realm. How powerful could he
be? I think you’re pulling our leg. I don’t believe you!”
Still, Phaethon remained skeptical.
Seeing that none of them believed him, Typhon said, “I’ll take you all over to him right now and show
you his true capabilities. I suspect he concealed part of them.”
