“Am I making baseless accusations?” Heinrik’s face filled with rage as he angrily threw the Five Elites’ item pouches in front of Lion Archon. “These are the item pouches of our Five Elites, which fell from Jared. Given Jared’s capabilities, there’s no way he could have killed them. If it weren’t for a few of you aiding Jared in killing them, then who could it have been? Moreover, Fox Queen has been constantly accompanying Jared. Do you still dare to claim that you all didn’t lend a hand in this?”
After looking at the item pouches on the ground, Lion Archon glanced at Thousand- Faced Demon Archon, somewhat confused.
Lion Archon was well aware of the strength of the Five Elites. Although these five couldn’t surpass them, they were undoubtedly the best among the younger generation. There was no way Jared could have killed the Five Elites himself.
However, they indeed hadn’t helped Jared commit murder. Upon seeing the expression on Lion Archon’s face, Heinrik became even more convinced that it was Lion Archon and the others who had done it!
“Hmph, if you dare to act, then you should dare to accept responsibility. Are all of you beast race members nothing but cowards? Are you afraid to admit to your crimes?” Heinrik scoffed.
“Mr. Darkmore, we truly did not assist Jared in murdering the Five Elites. You only saw these item pouches fall from Jared’s body, but did you actually see us helping him commit the murders? All of these are merely speculations from you all. There’s absolutely no evidence!” Thousand-Faced Demon Archon argued his case vehemently.
Heinrik was about to speak, but Lauden interrupted him, “Fine, if you all want evidence, then we will capture Jared and make him confess on the spot. However, during this time, you must stay with us and not leave this place!”
“What right do you have to stop us from leaving?” Lion Archon roared.
“Based on the strength of my fists. If you can defeat me, I’ll let you go,” Lauden declared, clenching his fists.
Seeing the situation, Lion Archon could only suppress his anger, daring not to say anything more.
Now that Lion Archon had fallen silent, Lauden waved his hand and commanded, “Lock them all up!”
Catina glanced at the surrounding terrain and said, “Spirit Beast Valley is just ahead. We’re about to arrive.”
Jared and his companions had been traveling continuously, exhausting a significant amount of their spiritual energy. Jared was somewhat regretful, wishing they had taken advantage of Cloud’s airship instead!
Now, all Jared hoped for was to smoothly obtain a telepathic beast.
Soon, Jared and his companions arrived at Spirit Beast Valley. When Jared looked toward the mountain peak not far from Spirit Beast Valley, he was completely taken aback.
Jared felt a strong sense of familiarity with this mountain peak, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
“So this is the place!”
Suddenly, Jared let out a cry of surprise.
This was the very peak where he had obtained the Divine Bow. At that time, Jared had no idea that this place was the Ethereal Realm.
Unexpectedly, this territory was part of Demonia Mountain!
At that time, Hadad appeared, prompting Jared to return to the mundane world.
It turns out that Hadad is at Demonia Mountain, which means Whalreth and Baal could also be here!
After all, Demonia Mountain was considered a paradise for the demons in the Ethereal Realm as they wouldn’t be chased down and killed there.
Upon hearing Jared’s exclamation, Catina curiously asked, “Jared, have you been to Spirit Beast Valley before?”
Jared remained silent, unsure of how to explain things to Catina.
However, Catina quickly realized and said, “Oh, I remember now! You must have been here before because that peak not far from here is where the Divine Bow was kept. Since you obtained the Divine Bow, you must have visited that peak. I almost forgot about that fact. Beneath that mountain peak is Phantom Valley, and right before that is Spirit Beast Valley! Take a look around. The environment in Spirit Beast Valley is unlike that in Phantom Valley.”
Jared saw a vast valley covered in green trees and flowers, with small streams winding and flowing through it.
Moreover, flocks of large birds soared through the sky within the valley, and various wild beasts were seen running about everywhere.
