Judith was utterly astounded. As they slowly sank into the depths, she was completely unscathed.
“What on earth is going on? What cultivation technique are you using? It’s unbelievable that even the Dead Sea couldn’t stop you!” Judith asked in confusion.
“Don’t rush to question me. I’m the one who wants to ask you something. What do you have to do with Castenada? And who exactly is Scarlette to you?”
Judith paused, then turned her gaze toward Jared. “How did you come to know about Castenada Town? And how do you know about my little sister?”
“So, Scarlette is your little sister? Seems like my guess wasn’t off the mark. Despite you only showing half your face, you really do resemble your sister,” Jared said with a smile.
Judith’s face immediately turned cold. She absolutely detested when others talked about her face.
Judith put her mask back on, her voice icy as she asked, “How on earth did you find out about my sister?”
Jared had no choice but to explain in detail how he came to know Scarlette. However, he deliberately left out the part about Scarlette being with Cedric.
After listening, Judith was immediately filled with rage. “The audacity of Quinlan Town! When Ten Thousand Sword Sect was still in power, they wouldn’t have dared to treat Castenada Town this way.”
“What exactly happened to Ten Thousand Sword Sect? Why was it destroyed? Were those Demonic Cultivators really trying to uncover the sect’s secrets? And isn’t Ten Thousand Sword Sect a bit too weak if just a few Demonic Cultivators were able to annihilate you?”
Jared couldn’t comprehend. Those few Demonic Cultivators didn’t seem particularly powerful, yet they managed to annihilate an entire sect.
“Don’t spout nonsense. Ten Thousand Sword Sect is anything but weak. If it were, my father wouldn’t have sent me there to train all those years ago. The Demon Seal Alliance tried to win over Ten Thousand Sword Sect, but our master refused to join them. In retaliation, they sent a large number of Demonic Cultivators to ambush us. The destruction of Divine Smithing Sect meant we couldn’t forge magic swords for over a decade, drastically weakening us. Ultimately, the disciples of Ten Thousand Sword Sect either died or fled. My master entrusted me with the secret scrolls of Ten Thousand Sword Sect. I took them and hid above the Dead Sea. In an attempt to escape those pursuing me, I accidentally fell into the Dead Sea. Half of my face came into contact with the seawater, leading to my current appearance. I’ve been hiding on an island in the Dead Sea, too afraid to return home, fearing I’d bring trouble to my loved ones in Castenada Town. I wonder if my father and the rest are doing okay after all this time…”
As Judith reminisced about the past, tears began to flow uncontrollably from her eyes.
“The Demon Seal Alliance is utterly despicable. Sooner or later, I’ll wipe it off the face of the earth.”
A cold glint flickered in Jared’s eyes.
“What’s going on with you? I heard the Demon Seal Alliance is presenting a hundred-year offering to pursue you. Do you have some deep- seated grudge against them?” Judith asked.
“Not really. I just killed the son of the president…”
“What?” Judith looked at Jared in disbelief, finally giving him a thumbs up. “You’re really something…”
“All right, stop praising me. I tend to get cocky. I have some pills here. Take them, they’ll help you recover faster!”
Jared handed over some recovery pills to Judith.
Judith didn’t stand on ceremony either. She promptly popped the pill into her mouth.
As the pill was consumed, it instantly transformed into a refreshing surge that coursed throughout Judith’s body, providing an overwhelming sense of relief and comfort.
“I really didn’t expect you to have such high- quality pills.”
Judith couldn’t help but express her admiration.
“I have a lot more good stuff to offer. Once you get to know me better, I guarantee you won’t be able to leave!” Jared joked.
Judith gave Jared a glance, then closed her eyes, starting to channel her spiritual energy to recover.
