In Quinlan Town, Keegan Quinlan, the town mayor, leisurely sipped wine while awaiting the return of his son.
Throughout the period after Harvey had attained Ultimate Realm, he had been beyond thrilled. After all, his son was the youngest Ultimate Realm expert in the vicinity.
Right then, Quinlan Town was relatively renowned throughout the entire eastern region, particularly with Skylar having taken up residence there recently.
Coupled with their collaboration with Demon Seal Alliance, their strength had doubled.
At that point, Keegan was already arrogant to the core.
Numerous small sects in the vicinity had been annexed by Quinlan Town.
But as Keegan was humming and sipping wine, the two cultivators Harvey left with came running back in a panic.
“Mr. Keegan! Bad news, Mr. Keegan! Something terrible has happened!”
The two cultivators fell to their knees before the man, trembling all over.
Keegan’s brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, “What happened that scared you two to such
an extent? And where is Harvey?”
One of the cultivators swallowed hard before replying, “Mr. Harvey has been killed, Mr. Keegan.”
Crash!
The wine glass in Keegan’s hand promptly fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
“What did you just say?” Keegan demanded with his face a mask of disbelief, shooting to his feet.
“Mr. Harvey has been killed, Mr. Keegan, his head severed by a single strike!” the other cultivator hurriedly affirmed.
“Bullsh*t! That’s impossible. No way is that true. How could Castenada Town possibly have such an expert?”
Keegan simply didn’t believe it because he knew for certain that there couldn’t possibly be such an expert in Castenada Town.
My son is an Ultimate Realm expert! Owen, the strongest in Castenada Town, is only a Top Level Tribulator! How could he have possibly beheaded Harvey with a single strike?
Suddenly, he seemed to have remembered something, his eyes widening at once. “Could it have been… Could it have been someone from
Ten Thousand Sword Sect? Someone from Ten Thousand Sword Sect is in Castenada Town?”
Only the annihilated Ten Thousand Sword Sect could have slayed an Ultimate Realm expert with a single strike! Moreover, only someone of elder status or above could have achieved that! But Ten Thousand Sword Sect has already been wiped out. Everyone has either died or fled. How could any of them possibly dare stay in the eastern region?
Keegan knew that Ten Thousand Sword Sect had always had an amicable relationship with Castenada Town. However, it was unlikely that they would risk their lives to stay there to back them up.
After all, Ten Thousand Sword Sect had offended Demon Seal Alliance, and the latter was akin to a god in the eastern region.
Every sect and force took pride in joining Demon Seal Alliance, for one could be the first to obtain more resources with them as a backer even in the resource-scarce eastern region.
Demon Seal Alliance didn’t just accept any sect or force either but had certain requirements.
Ten Thousand Sword Sect caught their eye yet failed to recognize the opportunity, resulting in a complete annihilation.
“It wasn’t someone from Ten Thousand Sword
Sect, Mr. Keegan. It was… It was Jared Chance,” a cultivator divulged.
“Jared Chance?”
Keegan’s brows furrowed slightly. He couldn’t shake off the feeling that the name sounded familiar, but he couldn’t remember who it was for a moment.
“It’s the man Demon Seal Alliance is hunting with the reward of a hundred-year offering,” the cultivator clarified.
Boom!
Upon hearing that, Keegan felt an explosion go off in his head. He then anxiously asked, “What is his cultivation level that he could slay my son with a single strike?”
“Seventh Level Tribulator.”
“F*ck you!” The cultivator had barely finished speaking when Keegan sent him flying with a kick.
“Do you take me for a fool? A Seventh Level Tribulator could slay my son with a single strike? Are you saying that my son, an Ultimate Realm expert, is inferior to a mere Seventh Level Tribulator?”
Keegan was furious. Isn’t this an insult to my intelligence?
