“Jared!” Quinley called out loudly to Jared, then quickly made her way over. Following right behind her were a few skilled warriors from the Tall family, either Eighth or Ninth Level Body Fusion Realm cultivators. This clearly showed that the Tall family’s strength was not to be underestimated.
“Are you guys okay? Jerison returned and told me about your situation, and my brother sent. me and a few subordinates over to rescue you,” Quinley said.
“We’re fine,” Jared uttered while shaking his head. “We’ve just sustained some injuries.”
“Let’s head back to the Tall residence. You can continue with your treasure hunt after you’ve recuperated,” Quinley suggested. “Recently, Demonic Cultivators have been causing havoc in the far north. Many cultivators who came in search of the treasure have met with brutal ends. It’s perilous for you to persist in your current condition.”
Jared nodded in acknowledgment. Although he wished to discover the treasure and acquire the Ice Soul Pill, the present circumstances did not allow him to do so. Furthermore, Feenix and Aislin were still at the Tall residence, and Jared wished to meet them.
Sunny and the others, too, agreed to head to the Tall residence because they knew they were not in the perfect condition to continue exploring the far north.
The group then departed and headed for the Tall residence. Meanwhile, Lynette, who had been teleported away earlier, had arrived at the location where Jared and Barken had dueled.
Looking at the chaos the duel had left behind, as well as the remnants of the tower strewn across the ground, Lynette furrowed her brow.
“All of Barken’s magical items have been shattered into pieces. What kind of formidable cultivator did he encounter?” Lynette did not know Barken was killed by Jared and his companions.
Even the destruction of the tower was the result of Jared’s actions.
Just as Lynette was still pondering if there were other powerful cultivators nearby, the voice of Inferno Devil echoed in her ear. “The two guardians I sent with you are dead. What have you done? Get back here right now!”
Lynette could not help but break out in a cold sweat after hearing Inferno Devil’s voice. However, she obediently complied and vanished with a leap.
Meanwhile, at the Tall residence, Feenix and Aislin anxiously awaited Jared’s return, having learned that Quinley had gone to fetch him.
“Aislin, you’ve been in the Ethereal Realm with us for quite some time, all for the sake of Master. When Master arrives, I’ll make sure he showers you with affection,” Feenix uttered.
Upon hearing that, Aislin blushed instantly and responded, “Don’t talk nonsense. I hardly know Jared…”
“Just sleep with him, and you’ll know him better,” Feenix responded with a chuckle.
“Josephine is his official girlfriend, but she hasn’t slept with him. Yet, the rest of you have already done it with him,” Aislin said. Feenix burst into laughter. “Josephine is his wife-to-be, but we’re not…”
Soon, Jared appeared, and Feenix and Aislin, who had been eagerly awaiting his arrival, dashed out of the house. After spending a significant amount of time in the Ethereal Realm and enduring many hardships in their search for Jared, they had finally reunited with him.
“Master! Master!” Feenix rushed toward Jared before finally throwing herself into his arms.
“Feenix.” Jared held her close.
“Jared…” Aislin, too, called his name as she walked up to him. “Master, Aislin also fearlessly followed you into the Ethereal Realm when you were pulled into it because she wanted to rescue you,” Feenix explained.
“Thank you, Ms. Yuchamore,” Jared responded politely. Quinley turned to Feenix and suggested, “Jared
and the others must be exhausted, having been relentlessly pursued by the Demonic Cultivators. How about we allow them to rest for now? We can discuss matters once they’ve had enough time to recover.”
Feenix nodded in agreement, and together, they entered the Tall residence. Prior to their arrival, Quinley had already made the necessary lodging arrangements for them.
Once everyone had settled in, Quinley sought out Jared and said, “Jared, my brother would like to meet you. Please come with me.”
