Jared watched as Skylar made his escape, and he finally let out a long sigh of relief.
If they had continued to fight, it was certain that they would both end up injured!
“All right, that’s enough. It’s good that he ran off. If we had continued to fight, there’s no way my body could have endured it!”
Jared shot a glare at Vermilion Demon Lord.
All this guy knows to do is fight, without giving a second thought to whether I can handle it or not!
“Listen, you need to step up your physical strength soon. Otherwise, hurry up and find all of my bones so I can regain my physical body! I’m practically dying of boredom in the depths of your consciousness field! Having some company wouldn’t be so bad…” Vermilion Demon Lord grumbled.
Jared was left speechless for a moment. With Vermilion Demon Lord in his consciousness field, who would dare to venture there?
After regaining control of his body, Jared began his journey to Castenada Town.
Castenada Town was merely a small town with a population of ten thousand, and the town’s strength was not particularly strong.
The town mayor of Castenada Town, Owen Castenada, was only a Ninth Level Tribulator.
Nonetheless, he was already considered an expert in the eastern region.
The collective strength of the cultivators from the eastern region was somewhat lesser compared to the other four regions.
This was also due to the vastness of the eastern region and its sparse population.
In addition, the eastern region was flanked by the Night Sea and the Dead Sea, creating a barrier. This made it difficult for the cultivators of the eastern region to interact with those from the other regions. Apart from using Teleportation Arrays, their only option was to travel by spirit ships and airships.
These modes of transportation required substantial amounts of spirit coins or resources, resulting in the eastern region’s cultivators being relatively weak in strength. Moreover, the majority had never ventured to other places before.
At that moment, in the largest courtyard house at Castenada Town’s center, Owen was overjoyed to the point of tears as he looked at Judith in front of him.
He had believed his own daughter to be dead, yet unexpectedly, here she was before him!
“My dear daughter, after searching for you all these years, I’ve finally found you. You’ve finally come home. Do you have any idea how much I’ve been worried about you since the downfall of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect? Remember, no matter what difficulties you face in the future, always come back home. Regardless of the situation, I will always be your strong support!”
Owen wept bitterly, his eyes filled with profound heartache.
Over the years, his daughter had surely faced many hardships and endured much suffering while being away from home!
“Dad, I… I didn’t dare to come home because I didn’t want to bring trouble to Castenada Town. I realize my mistake now, and I vow never to let you down again…”
Judith also began to cry.
Upon seeing the situation, Scarlette’s eyes also welled up with tears.
The family had finally reunited…
“Mr. Castenada, Harvey from Quinlan Town has arrived. He has received the news of Ms. Scarlette’s return.”
At that moment, Lazlo approached and spoke.
Upon hearing that Harvey had arrived, Scarlette’s brows furrowed tightly, a clear look of distaste appearing on her face.
Owen was also deeply troubled, his brows furrowed in worry. If he hadn’t been driven into a corner, he would never have put his own daughter in such a difficult situation!
“Father, Harvey is completely unworthy of Lettie. Not only is he unspeakably ugly, but he’s also a brute. Even during my time at the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, I had heard rumors about him. He’s known for assaulting women and humiliating children. He’s worse than an animal! Even if it’s for some gain, we shouldn’t let Lettie make such a sacrifice…” Judith said to Owen.
Upon hearing this, Owen couldn’t help but sigh, “Ah, but what can I do? Back when the Ten Thousand Sword Sect was in its prime, you were able to support our Castenada family by being a part of that sect. But now that the sect has been destroyed and someone is backing Quinlan Town, they don’t respect us at all. If I hadn’t agreed to marry your sister off, all tens of thousands of our population would have been destroyed, not a soul left!”
Owen wore an expression of helplessness. As the town mayor, he naturally had to consider everyone in the town!
