Upon arriving at Soul Demon Sect, Jared introduced Nieva to Trystan. After a few days of rest and recuperation, Trystan and the disciples of Soul Demon Sect were no longer in serious condition, all thanks to Jared’s pills.
Instead of lingering at Soul Demon Sect, Jared and his companions, led by Trystan, set off on their quest to locate the headquarters of Blood Bone Sect.
After all, Trystan and they were from the same sect. Whether it was their aura or some habits, Trystan was well acquainted with them.
Hence, locating the headquarters of Blood Bone Sect wasn’t particularly challenging; it was merely a matter of time.
While Jared was leading everyone in search of the headquarters of Blood Bone Sect, Rainier had already gathered all his disciples within the sect at that time.
Cassius’ physical body had fully recovered. All of them were seated in the grand hall.
This time, Rainier couldn’t bring back the cultivators, leading to a severe resource shortage within Blood Bone Sect.
These people sustained themselves by consuming human blood and gnawing on human bones for their cultivation.
“Rainier, weren’t you supposed to bring back some cultivators this time? Why did you return alone?” Cassius asked.
“Ugh, don’t even mention it. Aiden was defeated in the arena with a single stroke of a sword. How am I supposed to ask the Mueller family for cultivators? We can only rely on ourselves from now on. But once Gustave makes his breakthrough, things will get much easier for us,” Rainier said.
“What? Taken out with a single strike? Just how powerful is the one who dared to challenge Aiden? How could they possibly defeat an Ultimate Realm Level One cultivator so quickly?”
Disbelief was written all over Cassius’ face.
“Jared, the one being pursued by the Demon Seal Alliance, has actually reached the Seventh Level of Tribulator. It’s truly bizarre. Despite being at the Seventh Level, the power he unleashed was extraordinarily high. Not only is he powerful, but he also managed to cultivate a genuine spiritual body. How peculiar.”
Rainier thought back to the duel between Jared and Aiden, still feeling a lingering unease. It was simply unfathomable.
“Seventh Level Tribulator? And he defeated Aiden with a single sword strike?”
Cassius recalled his encounter with Jared, the man he had fought with during his time at Soul Demon Sect.
He had never met Jared, nor did he know him. He was completely unaware of Jared’s identity.
However, they were all at the Seventh Level of Tribulator. In the entire Ethereal Realm, there were probably only a handful of people at the Seventh Level of Tribulator who could slay an Ultimate Realm Level One cultivator.
“Rainier, can you describe what Jared looks like?” Cassius asked. “It can’t possibly be the young man I encountered in Soul Demon Sect, right? He’s also a Seventh Level Tribulator cultivator, yet I was no match for him. In the end, even my physical body was destroyed.”
Rainier quickly described Jared in detail which made Cassius’ eyes widen. “Yes, that’s him. So he’s Jared. He was the one who defeated me.”
“No wonder he could defeat Aiden with a single strike. He has quite a few secrets up his sleeve.”
Cassius furrowed his brows, his eyes brimming with anger.
“Darn it, that brat messed things up right here. The next time I get a chance to run into him, I’m definitely going to give him a piece of my mind. Right now, we need to cultivate as quickly as possible to improve our strength. And most importantly, we cannot let the supply of Gustave’s cultivation resources run out at this crucial time.”
After Rainier finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the disciple from Blood Bone Sect standing beside him and asked, “How many cultivators do we still have imprisoned? Is it enough for Gustave’s cultivation?”
“We only have a handful of cultivators left, most in Body Fusion Realm. Just a few have reached the Second or Third Level of Tribulator, and their strength is too low to hold on much longer.”
Upon hearing this, Rainier furrowed his brows and said, “Let’s go. Show me what’s going on…”
Quickly, Rainier and his companions headed toward the back of Blood Bone Sect’s main hall.
