“Mr. Sullivan, Demon Sect’s ancestral rule strictly prohibits us from leaving the secret realm before the spiritual energy begins to recover. Furthermore, we have been reminded to avoid any type of confrontation with the sects and families of the mundane world.
If we were to suddenly launch an assault on the Zagorski family in order to make Norham our own, it is highly likely that the secret realm of Demon Sect would be discovered. Most importantly, I believe that such an important decision should only be made by the sect leader himself,” Simon voiced his protests.
“There’s no need to do so. I have been authorized by the sect leader to take the necessary steps, so please just follow my instructions, Patrick responded icily..
Simon parted his lips to protest, but Patrick gave a dismissive wave. “Enough. You can leave now to carry out my orders.” Seeing that, everyone had no choice but to leave.
After everyone filed out, a man wearing a dark cloak emerged. He slowly removed his hood to reveal a strikingly attractive face. The person was none other than Skylar, who was now Malphas.
“Greetings, Mr. Malphas.” Patrick went on his knees without hesitation. “Get up,” Skylar responded coolly. Patrick got up and cast Skylar an envious look.
Skylar and Malphas were of the same age, yet their circumstances were vastly different. Skylar’s body had been taken over by Malphas’ soul, giving him an elevated status that Patrick wouldn’t have otherwise been able to achieve.
Despite originating from the same source, Evil Heart Sect could produce a vast number of demon spirits, yet Demon Sect adamantly refused to permit such an occurrence.
Patrick might be part of Demon Sect, but he had always dreamed of joining Evil Heart Sect. He wanted nothing more than to have a strong spirit residing in his body.
That way, his capability would get to increase, and his status would be elevated. “Is it done?” Skylar questioned.
“Yes. As long as Jared consumes the Cultivation Reversal Potion, he won’t be able to escape. I’m not sure if Jessica will succeed, though,” Patrick replied.
“It doesn’t matter. Even if Jared doesn’t consume the Cultivation Reversal Potion, the ten-thousand-year herb won’t be his! As for the body of the blood demon, I believe he’ll rise from the dead soon. Once he rises from the
dead, we demon spirits will be able to dominate the world!” Skylar sneered as his lips twisted into a menacing grin. He let out a loud, raspy laugh.
“Mr. Malphas, if Jared refuses to give us the blood demon’s body, how will we revive it?” Patrick asked. “Refuse to give us the body, huh? I know he won’t give us the body willingly. After all, he’s not a fool.”
Skylar narrowed his eyes as his gaze turned dark. “You knew he won’t give it to us?” Patrick was stumped. “Mr. Malphas, since you knew Jared won’t give us the blood demon’s body, why did you ask me to collaborate with him?”
“If we don’t work with him, how will he uncover the mysteries of the demon spirits, find out about the hidden realm, and discover that Encanta Island is the place where spiritual energy will be revived?” Skylar answered, flashing a small smile..
Patrick’s confusion heightened. “Mr. Malphas, are you saying that you told me to collaborate with Jared to let him find out everything?” “Of course. If we were to tell him ourselves, he might not believe us. However, with you initiating the joint venture, he will no doubt believe what you tell him.
I am certain that he will still be hesitant to give us the body of the blood demon, though. Jared may choose to go to Encanta Island or venture into the secret realm to save his girlfriend. Regardless of his decision, our plan will be set into motion. If he enters the secret realm, he will be met with a barrage of switches and traps that I have set up for him, and he will not be able to survive.
If he goes to Encanta Island, an energy anomaly will be triggered by the revival of spiritual energy. No matter how strong he is, he won’t be able to survive it. On the other hand, the blood demon will be able to use the anomaly to come back from the dead!”
He paused to laugh out loud before declaring excitedly, “By then, the demon spirits will have dominion over the entire world! We’ll be the first to seize control of the sites that would be undergoing a spiritual energy restoration! No matter what Jared tries to do, he won’t be able to evade my grasp!”
