“To think that the greatest fighter of Flying Star Sect would be bested by a nobody from outside the hidden realm… How embarrassing!” Yona said with a faint smile. “How did you know?” Sonyx asked in confusion. We were fighting Jared out at sea, and not many know about our plan to kill him, so how did she know?
“Of course, I’d know! I also know that you wanted to kill Jared to avenge Mr. Lindt. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to avenge Mr. Lindt even if you succeeded in killing Jared!” Yona said with a sneer.
“Why is that?” Sonyx’s face scrunched up in confusion. A few seconds later, he recalled what Jared said. He mentioned something about Elgado of Scorching Heaven Sect killing Emiliano. Given what Yona has just told me, it would seem that Jared was telling the truth! Sonyx narrowed his eyes as he said coldly, “So, it was you b*stards from Scorching Heaven Sect who killed Mr. Lindt!”
“That’s right! Our elder killed Emiliano and Avery by absorbing their power! Well, it’s too late for you to do anything about it now!” Yona said as she swung at Sonyx. Sonyx tried to dodge his attack, but he was too badly wounded to react in time. Just like that, Yona killed him in a single slap.
“Dump his body into the ocean. This way, Flying Star Sect will go after Jared for sure!” he said with a sneer and stared coldly at Sonyx’s corpse before leaving. Meanwhile, Jared had just returned to the island. Flaxseed ran up to him and asked, “Are you all right, Jared?”
“Why wouldn’t I be? I went there with dozens of demon beasts and crushed them all!” Jared replied gleefully. He felt great just thinking about how cool he looked while leading the demon beasts into battle. “That does sound kind of fun. Could you teach me how to control these demon beasts? I want to give it a shot!” Flaxseed said excitedly.
“Forget it. We’re heading back right now!” The Secret Realm Conference was about to begin, so Jared needed to rush over as soon as possible. He didn’t have time to fool around with Flaxseed.
Flaxseed had no choice but to contain his curiosity for the time being. After saying their goodbyes, Jared had Archer and Skyler head back and prepared to return to Jadeborough. Jared had just departed from the island when he noticed a faint light coming from the ocean surface.
“Look over there, Mr. Flaxseed! What do you think that is?” Jared asked while pointing in the direction of the light. “What are you talking about? I don’t see anything!” Flaxseed replied.
“Something is glowing there! Do you not see the light?” Jared was confused as to why Flaxseed couldn’t see the light. “What light?” With a puzzled frown on his face, Flaxseed turned toward Godrick and asked, “Godrick, do you see any light?”
Godrick shook his head. “Nope!” “See? Even he doesn’t see this light that you’re talking about. You must be imagining it!” Flaxseed said. The light was faint, but Jared knew for a fact that he could see it.
He then headed in the direction of the light, but Flaxseed and Godrick were still unable to see it. Jared found it strange that he was the only person who could see that light.
“Wait here, you two. I’ll go and have a look,” Jared said. He was planning to go underwater and see where the light was coming from. “I don’t see anything, but I’ll go with you just in case.”
Flaxseed wanted to go underwater with Jared and see if he would find the source of the light. Just like that, Jared and Flaxseed dove into the water.
