“I know. I know.” Gilbert nodded repeatedly. He turned to kneel before Jared. “Mr. Chance, I am willing to follow you to recover the ancient ruins!”
Jared looked at Gilbert’s spirit, which was in front of him. He was astounded, and it felt surreal. Arthur suggested, “Jared, why don’t you keep him? You might need him later on.”
Jared nodded, opening his Storage Ring and keeping Gilbert’s spirit inside. Obviously, Jared was not going to let Gilbert reside in him.
Jared looked gratefully at Arthur and said, “Mr. Sanders, thank you.” Arthur smiled faintly. “I’d be grateful if you could use your brain more and stop being so impulsive in the future.”
After his words fell, Arthur waved his hand, signaling Jared to leave. Arthur then crossed his hands behind his back. Although he seemed to be still, he suddenly appeared a hundred meters away.
Jared glanced at Gilbert’s corpse before turning around and heading toward Medicine God Sect.
Zion showed up with three Black Copper Robe members after Jared left.
Zion’s eyes widened, and he was utterly shocked to see Gilbert’s desiccated corpse.
“G-Gilbert is dead?” Zion exclaimed in surprise.
The three Black Copper Robe members, who had heard of Gilbert’s ability, were equally flabbergasted. For Jared to have killed him, they concluded that Jared must be extraordinarily strong now.
One of the Black Copper Robe members frowned and stated, “Is this the aura of burning blood essence?”
Everyone else closed their eyes partly to sense it.
Another Black Copper Robe member said, “That’s right. Someone had burned blood essence here, and this aura should be Jared’s.”
Zion, who was initially shocked, was somewhat delighted when he heard this.
He quickly asked, “So, Jared burned up his blood essence so he could forcefully enhance his cultivation level to be able to kill Gilbert?”
A Black Copper Robe member muttered, “It was probably impossible for Jared to be Gilbert’s opponent with his strength. Even if Jared burned up his blood essence and forcibly increased his cultivation level, he still could have lost to Gilbert. However, now that Gilbert is dead, Jared must not be in a good state. Even if he is still alive, he should be powerless now. We can catch him easily if we track him.”
“That’s terrific. I’ll send someone to find Jared’s whereabouts and see if he’s dead or not.” Zion’s eyes gleamed, and he turned to leave.
They paid no heed to Gilbert’s corpse.
At the Deragon residence in Jadeborough, the Deragons quickly learned that Jared had killed Gilbert by burning up his blood essence.
Since the Deragon family was part of Warriors Alliance, Zion did not hide it from them.
Ryker’s expression changed when he learned of this.
Gilbert was rumored to be dead twenty years ago, so no one knew Warriors Alliance had imprisoned him.
Warriors Alliance seemed to be filled with secrets, many of which they were unaware of.
Regardless, even if Jared did survive after forcefully burning up his blood essence, they reckoned that he must be powerless now.
Ryker quickly broke the good news to Edgar, yet Edgar’s face fell when he heard this.
Ryker stated, “Edgar, even if Jared did survive, you should be happy since he must be powerless now after forcefully burning up his blood essence.”
“Dad, as long as Jared is still out there, I don’t feel safe. Moreover, Jared shouldn’t have been able to kill Gilbert even if he forcibly increased his cultivation level. This indicates that Jared’s abilities are stronger than we think with Gilbert dead.”
Edgar’s fist clenched. Gilbert was a famous Martial Arts Marquis twenty years ago—so who knows what cultivation level he was on before he died?
