Observing Zayan’s demeanor, Talcott couldn’t help but let out a cold chuckle. Only then did he say, “All right. I know you lack the capability to teach Allardland a lesson, and I won’t send you off to a futile death. However, there is an important task at hand that I need you to undertake.”
Upon hearing that, Zayan immediately felt a wave of relief. He quickly asked, “Mr. Lefterov, please feel free to give me any orders. I’ll do my best.”
“Recently, many of our Demon Seal Alliance members have been restless. Even those Demonic Cultivators collaborating with us have started harboring thoughts of betrayal. I received reliable information that someone has been secretly harboring a large group of Demonic Cultivators. Moreover, these cultivators are being kept hidden away. You should take some people and investigate thoroughly. We cannot tolerate the existence of such individuals in the northern region, let alone those Demonic Cultivators who are not under Demon Seal Alliance’s control. Only by properly managing matters in the northern region can we possess the strength to stand against Allardland. As for Jared, don’t bother about him anymore. The hundred-year offering is enticing enough. Someone is bound to make a move on him,” Talcott said to Zayan.
“What? There are actually Demonic Cultivators, and a hidden one at that? Who could be so audacious, daring to do such a thing? Rest assured, Mr. Lefterov. I’ll definitely get to the bottom of this matter. Any Demonic Cultivators who refuse to submit to Demon Seal Alliance will be completely eradicated,” Zayan uttered confidently.
At that moment, he felt hopeful again, a stark contrast to the state he was in when he was asked to deal with Allardland. After all, the number of Demonic Cultivators in the northern region should have dwindled over the years, and their power couldn’t possibly be too strong. Considering that the headquarters of Demon Seal Alliance is located in the northern region, it’s quite difficult for Demonic Cultivators to survive here.
“Go on.” Talcott waved his hand dismissively.
Zayan slowly withdrew, immediately initiating an investigation into the matter with his subordinates.
Meanwhile, Rainier arrived with his crew at the Mueller residence in the southern region, only to be stopped by the Mueller family guards.
A guard asked Rainier, “Who are you? What brings you to the Mueller residence?”
“We’re here to look for Mr. Aiden Mueller. Could you please let him know?” Rainier said quite politely:
The guard gave Rainier a once-over, then shook his head, saying, “No can do. Mr. Aiden has a duel in a couple of days. He’s currently focused on preparing himself. Mr. Stinton has made it clear Mr. Aiden won’t be seeing anyone. You all should go. These past few days, the Mueller family will be keeping to ourselves and not entertaining any guests.”
“How audacious! How dare a mere guard of the Mueller family like you speak in such a manner?” The disciple that Rainier brought with him was instantly infuriated when he heard how arrogant the Mueller family’s guard was.
He wanted to step forward and teach the guard a lesson.
However, Rainier stopped him. After all, his visit this time was not only to see Aiden but also to seek the help of the Mueller family in transporting a group of cultivators.
Hence, it wouldn’t be ideal if things turned sour with the Mueller family.
“Young lad, to be honest, I’m Mr. Aiden’s friend. I hope you’ll help inform him.” As Rainier spoke, he took out some purple spirit coins and handed them to the guard.
However, the guard unexpectedly knocked the purple spirit coin out of Rainier’s hand and uttered indifferently, “Leave immediately, or don’t blame us for being rude.”
At that point, Rainier also lost his temper. After all, he was a highly skilled Ultimate Realm expert. Being obstructed by two mere guards was utterly humiliating.
Rainier’s aura quivered slightly, leaving the two Mueller family guards no time to react. They collapsed instantly, their eyes filled with fear.
Rainier did not kill the guards. After all, it was acceptable to teach them a lesson, but if he eliminated them, things would become complicated.
“Let’s go.” Rainier, along with his subordinates, marched straight into the Mueller residence.
