As for those several sword-bearing cultivators, Catalina didn’t even spare them a glance. She knew they wouldn’t dare to utter a word out of line. Those were her death warriors. Even if Catalina asked them to die, they would not hesitate to comply.
Hence, there was absolutely no need for her to remind them to be discreet.
Catalina entered the Celestial Battlefield with Rightblind, while Leftblind could only lead the others in guarding the cave’s entrance.
Even though he was extremely annoyed, there was nothing he could do about it.
Although he was a Demonic Cultivator, he still understood the importance of repaying favor.
Meanwhile, at Quinlan Town, Gatlin, accompanied by Seth, was meeting with Keegan, the town mayor.
When confronted with the representatives from Demon Seal Alliance, Keegan showed exceptional respect. After all, he needed their assistance if he was to avenge his son.
“Mr. Keegan, since the Quinlan family has already joined Demon Seal Alliance, we’re practically family now. There’s no need to beat around the bush anymore. Lead us directly to Castenada Town. We’ll annihilate the town and apprehend that Jared to avenge your son.
However, our hasty arrival took quite a toll on us, draining much of our spiritual energy. We need to take a moment to regain our strength,” Gatlin said to Keegan.
Gatlin’s implication was clear. He was expecting Keegan to provide resources. After all, replenishing one’s energy wasn’t something that could be achieved with mere words. It required tesources.
Keegan was momentarily taken aback but quickly snapped back to his senses and said, “Of course. Since you all came to help me, I couldn’t possibly let you go hungry. I’ll give the order at once for my men to gather Quinlan Town’s resources to provide for all of you. However, due to the desolation of the eastern region, resources are not abundant. I hope you all won’t find it unsatisfactory.”
“Of course not. Rest assured, Mr. Keegan. There’s no way we’d do that.” Gatlin was overjoyed to see Keegan being so cooperative.
Just then, a gust of wind swept through, followed by the emergence of a dark figure in the hall.
Keegan instantly became tense. He hadn’t expected someone to barge into his living room so casually.
Upon seeing the situation, Gatlin quickly explained, “Mr. Keegan, there’s no need to be
nervous. This is just one of my disciples.”
Upon hearing that, Keegan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If this were an enemy who could enter and exit his room so easily, what security could he possibly have?
“Ruth, didn’t I send you to investigate the place of the unusual phenomenon? How come you returned so swiftly?” Gatlin asked.
“Mr. Gatlin, I ran into Jared on my way here. We had a bit of a skirmish. Surprisingly, the brat’s got some skills. Plus, they had the advantage in numbers. To avoid any losses, I made a hasty retreat,” Ruth reported truthfully.
“Jared?” Upon hearing this name, Keegan was instantly enraged. He then abruptly knelt before Gatlin. “I beg you to swiftly eliminate Jared and avenge my son, Mr. Gatlin. As for the matter of resources, I’m willing to offer everything Quinlan Town can provide.”
Gatlin helped Keegan up with a gentle lift of his palm. “Mr. Keegan, there’s no need to rush. Let me get things straight first. Right now, you and I are on the same side. You don’t have to say anything more regarding doing away with Jared.”
After speaking, Gatlin turned to Ruth and asked, “Ruth, can you explain in detail what happened?”
Subsequently, Ruth thoroughly explained the entire situation to Gatlin.
Gatlin slightly furrowed his brows. “It seems that this Jared is also heading toward that place of unusual phenomenon. I reckon there must be something extraordinary there.”
After-Keegan, who was standing on the side, heard all this, his expression shifted.
The Quinlan family had been searching for an entrance to the ancient ruins atop Mount Gonagles for a hundred years without success. Now, they finally had a clue, but the unusual phenomenon unexpectedly attracted so many people.
Even if they managed to find the entrance, Keegan reckoned the Quinlan family would have nothing to do with the ancient ruins anymore.
