“Mr. Delacroix, I agree with Mr. Darkmore. We should stop worrying about this place for now and go find those members of the beast race to get a clear understanding of what’s really going on, someone suggested.
Seeing the situation, Lauden could only nod and say, “Alright then, let’s return first. Then we’ll send someone to summon the three kings and four archons of the beast race. If they are truly responsible, even if it leads to a falling out with the beast race, we absolutely cannot let them escape punishment!”
The members of the Five Great Sects left, leaving the disciples of Blood Spirit Valley to continue being targeted by vultures.
Meanwhile, Igor was still recovering from his injuries, completely unaware that his disciples had been murdered.
After some time, Jared had fully recovered, and over the past few days, he had gained a deeper understanding of Blazing Stride and Impersonation Technique!
However, Jared was still unable to get that clock to work. He had no idea how to use it.
“Mr. Chance, these are some spiritual stones and mystical herbs sent by Mr. Daemon,” Cloud placed some resources in front of Jared.
Over the past few days, in order to expedite Jared’s recovery, Montane Daemon had been working tirelessly. He ventured into the depths of Demonia Mountain daily, searching for various resources that could be utilized.
It could be said that Montane Daemon’s ability to withstand the demonic tribulation cloud and his substantial increase in strength were all thanks to Jared.
“Cloud, have you been cultivating during this period?” Jared turned to Cloud and asked.
“Mr. Chance, I’ve been busy gathering various resources with Mr. Daemon during this period, so I haven’t had the chance to cultivate yet,”
Cloud responded.
Jared glanced at Cloud, gesturing for him to sit across from himself.
“You’ve been with me for quite some time now, yet your strength hasn’t increased much, nor have you gained anything-”
Before Jared could finish, Cloud hastily interjected, “Mr. Chance, I am already content just being by your side as it allows me to see the world.”
“What’s the use of seeing the world? I’m going to teach you a sword technique called Nine Shadows now. We’ll go to Divine Smithing Sect soon, and I’ll have them forge a magic sword for you there. This way, your strength will significantly increase!”
After Jared finished speaking, he gently placed a hand on the top of Cloud’s head. Swiftly, the Nine Shadows sword technique was imparted into Cloud’s consciousness.
Cloud entered his consciousness using his spiritual sense, and he immediately exclaimed in surprise, “Mr. Chance, is this the Nine Shadows sword technique? It looks so powerful!”
“Once someone has mastered the Nine Shadows sword technique, they can create nine clones, each possessing the same aura and even the same power! At that time, you will strike with a single sword, but what truly emerges will be ten real swords. Your own power will be greatly amplified. Of course, this sword technique can also be used to escape from difficult situations. Remember, when practicing swordsmanship, if you let your emotions become too agitated, not only will you fail in your training, but you may also plunge yourself into a state of collapse. I was now capable of having six shadow clones, and I also imparted some insights and cultivation methods to you.”
As Jared spoke, he imparted all his understanding of Nine Shadows to Cloud without holding back.
Excitement filled Cloud’s face as he unexpectedly knelt down before Jared. “Mr. Chance, your immense kindness in teaching me this sword technique is akin to a mentor’s. I-
“Hold on, we are friends and brothers. I am not your master. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have taught you.” Jared hastily interrupted Cloud’s words.
Looking at Cloud in this state, it seemed like he wanted to take Jared as his master. However, Jared had never considered becoming anyone’s mentor!
Upon hearing this, Cloud’s face flushed with embarrassment. He quickly stood up, thanked Jared, and then hurriedly left. Jared assumed he must have gone to cultivate.
“Jared, I heard you’ve almost recovered. Now, it’s time to repay the debt you owe me…”
Cloud had just left when Catina walked in.
She gazed at Jared with so much affection it seemed as if her eyes were about to well up with tears.
“What debt?” Jared asked, pretending not to know.
“Stop pretending!”
Catina lunged directly at Jared, mounting him in one motion.
