Jared also bowed deeply in respect. Regardless of what the old priest was like, at that moment, he was the only one who could save Jared and his companions.
At that moment, Gatlin was staring intently at Infinides. “Infinides, I am from Demon Seal Alliance-”
Infinides interrupted him bluntly, “I don’t care about your so-called Demon Seal Alliance. Anyone who dares to bully my disciple will face certain death, especially those from Demon Seal Alliance.”
After he finished speaking, Infinides launched a powerful punch.
With just this punch, an overwhelming aura surged toward Gatlin.
In just a fleeting moment, Gatlin was sent flying, while Ruth and Seth, were directly struck down, severely injured and incapable of getting back up.
Just like that, a mere illusory shadow had managed to suppress a Fourth Level Ultimate Realm cultivator.
Jared was utterly astounded. He couldn’t fathom just how immense Infinides’ power truly was.
Who is Infinides? How could he possess such terrifying power? Does he belong to the northern region or the eastern region?
As Jared was pondering over Infinides’ identity, Gatlin came to a halt, his face turning incredibly unsightly.
He was internally astounded. He hadn’t anticipated that Infinides’ strength would be so terrifying.
Although he had heard of Infinides’ formidable reputation in the past, he had never personally crossed paths with Infinides. After today’s battle, he finally understood the extent of his opponent’s strength.
Someone merely showed up as a mere illusory shadow, and yet, he was beaten so badly.
With such a gap in strength, even a fool would know what to do next.
Gatlin swiftly grabbed both Ruth and Seth. Then, without a second thought, he turned and bolted.
Staying would simply spell death for all three of them.
“F*ck! Trying to escape, are you?” Upon seeing this, Catalina was about to give chase.
However, Infinides intercepted her and said, “Don’t pursue a desperate enemy. I was merely trying to scare them off just now. I’m nothing more than an illusory shadow, incapable of lasting very long.”
No sooner had Infinides finished speaking, than his figure simply vanished.
At the very moment the figure of Infinides vanished, a multitude of terrifying auras emerged from the void.
This time, Jared was taken aback. Just as three had left, dozens more appeared. If they were also from Demon Seal Alliance, then he would be in trouble.
“Don’t worry; they’re here for me,” Catalina told Jared.
Before long, dozens of figures emerged, each garbed in white combat attire, brandishing long swords. They appeared more formidable than the swordsmen Catalina had initially brought along.
All these individuals were Tribulators, with a middle-aged man, who was in the Ultimate Realm, leading them. This man exuded a profound energy that Jared could perceive in an instant. It was clear to him that the man was practicing a superior cultivation technique.
The middle-aged man approached Catalina and, dropping to one knee, he said, “Your Highness, His Majesty has ordered us to escort
you back to the imperial city. Your unsanctioned departure has greatly upset him.”
Upon hearing this, Catalina immediately pouted and said angrily, “My mentor had sent me out; I didn’t sneak out on my own. I’m certain he didn’t mention it to Father. I’ll have a word with him when I return.”
“You should go back and explain everything to His Majesty, Your Highness.” After the middle- aged man finished speaking, he was about to take Catalina away.
Catalina gestured with her hand as she said, “Wait a moment; let me say a few words.”
At that moment, Jared was totally flabbergasted on the side. He hadn’t expected that Catalina would turn out to be a princess.
No wonder she seemed so impressive! Turns out, she had an imperial city backing her up!
However, Jared had no idea which imperial city Catalina was from.
There doesn’t seem to be an imperial city in the entire eastern region, right?
“I hope you can make it quick, Your Highness,” said the middle-aged man before he stepped aside.
Catalina turned to Jared, offering him a slight smile as she said, “I’m about to leave, Jared. Is there anything you want to tell me?”
“Tell you what?” Jared asked, utterly bewildered.
