“It’s been nearly a century since we last came out, Mr. Gatlin. If we manage to capture Jared this time, we’ll be able to come and go freely from Demon Seal Alliance without being locked up in the dungeon again!” one of the Demonic Cultivators behind the hunchbacked old man said excitedly.
“Ruth, Seth, why are you two still so attached to the outside world when you’ve been with me for so many years? What’s so bad about Demon Seal Alliance’s dungeon? Over the past century, we never lacked any resources and even got to enjoy a peaceful life.”
After saying that, the hunchbacked old man, Gatlin, cast a glance at the unusual celestial phenomenon before continuing, “Ruth, go to the place where the unusual celestial phenomenon is occurring and find out what exactly happened. Avoid any unnecessary conflicts! I’m going to Quinlan Town with Seth for a look. Since Jared was able to slay an Ultimate Realm Level One cultivator with a single strike, he’s certainly not inferior to you both. Whatever you do, never get careless. Even though we are currently Demon Seal Alliance’s subordinates, we are not their lapdogs. Before you do anything, ensure your safety first.”
“Understood, Mr. Gatlin!”
Once Ruth had finished speaking, she streaked off, heading toward the place where the unusual celestial phenomenon occurred.
Meanwhile, Gatlin set out for Quinlan Town with Seth.
Undeniably, he had brains. Although he was in a position where he had to concede to Demon Seal Alliance since he was at their mercy, he also defined himself clearly as being no lapdog of theirs.
Not long after Ruth’s figure vanished, Jared abruptly frowned in the airship.
“Be careful, Cloud. A mysterious aura is drawing close.”
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a figure blocked the airship’s path.
The person wielded a blood-red sword, black mist swirling around her. It was none other than Ruth.
The distance from there to Mount Gonagles was over ten thousand kilometers. If she were to travel on foot, it would certainly drain a significant amount of her energy.
Since an airship appeared, she naturally wanted to ride it.
“Unexpectedly, there’s an airship here in this desolate eastern region. Could I perhaps hitch a ride?” Ruth asked loudly, hollering at the airship with a longsword in hand.
Cloud glanced at Jared, unsure how to respond.
After all, the aura Ruth exuded sent a chill down his spine.
Moreover, a single look at her made it certain that she was a Demonic Cultivator. Unaware of her identity, he dared not reply to her rashly.
“When has there been a Demonic Cultivator of such a cultivation level in the eastern realm? Judging by the looks of her, she has likely attained Ultimate Realm Level Two?” Judith wondered, her brows furrowed.
She had then recovered to Ultimate Realm Level One, a cultivation level that already marked her as an expert in Ten Thousand Sword Sect.
Ten Thousand Sword Sect held a highly esteemed status throughout the eastern region and would never have been obliterated had it not been for Demon Seal Alliance.
However, an Ultimate Realm Level Two Demonic Cultivator had appeared presently. That caught her off guard.
Right then, Jared remained silent. In the face of the Demonic Cultivator before him, he was also unable to discern her identity for a moment.
Even though Demonic Cultivators were not all evil, he had no idea if the one in front of him
was a member of Demon Seal Alliance.
If the answer to that was affirmative, things were about to get tricky for them.
After all, Demon Seal Alliance had also raised a large number of Demonic Cultivators.
“D*mn it! Can’t you hear me? Since you refuse to do things the easy way, don’t blame me for showing you no mercy!”
Upon receiving no response whatsoever from airship’s occupant, Ruth was instantly infuriated.
With the blood-red sword in her hand, she took a swing at the airship.
Faced with that attack, Cloud jumped in fright and hastily maneuvered the airship to dodge it.
Seeing that, Judith leaped up, the longsword in her hand similarly slashing through the air in an instant.
Clang!
The two blades collided fiercely, and Judith promptly went flying backward.
Following that, Ruth’s expression changed subtly. “A member of Ten Thousand Sword Sect?”
Judith regained her balance and glared at Ruth furiously. “Since you know I’m a member of Ten Thousand Sword Sect, hurry up and scram. Otherwise, you’ll die a tragic death!”
She intended to intimidate the latter with Ten Thousand Sword Sect. Since she’s aware that I’m a disciple of Ten Thousand Sword Sect, she also must know its formidable reputation!
