Jared had no fear of these deadly intentions. On the contrary, he rather enjoyed them.
However, this lethal intent was different from the one he had just sensed in the cave. Jared glanced at the deceased telepathic beasts. They all appeared as if they were merely sleeping, but there was no sign of life left in them.
Jared activated the Focus Technique, absorbing the surrounding lethal intent. At the same time, he had to sift through these intentions to find the specific one. By tracing this force, he could uncover the root cause.
Despite Jared’s diligent search, he was unable to find anything, which greatly frustrated him.
However, with so much lethal intent around, Jared wouldn’t let it go to waste. Above his head, the intentions gradually condensed into a mist, continuously flowing into his body.
But just as Jared was greedily absorbing the intentions, his body suddenly shuddered.
He had sensed that unique intent, and it was clear that it seemed to possess a life of its own. It probed around Jared without being absorbed by him, and then quickly vanished.
A glint flashed in Jared’s eyes. Subsequently, he deactivated the Focus Technique and firmly locked onto that surge of intent with his spiritual sense.
Feenix and the others noticed that Jared had suddenly started running, even heading deep into the Phantom Valley.
However, Jared had given them instructions, so they didn’t dare to interfere, fearing they might disrupt Jared’s important matters.
Before long, Jared’s figure had disappeared from their sight. Jared firmly tracked that intent, arriving at the foot of the mountain peak. This very peak was once the place where the Divine Bow was kept.
Following the intent, Jared climbed toward the mountain peak. Soon, he discovered a seemingly small cave halfway up the mountain.
And this intent was emanating from within the cave. Gazing into the seemingly bottomless cave, Jared didn’t dare to rush in. He observed from the outside for a while, then decided to use demonic fire to force out the lurking intent.
Before Jared could even use demonic fire, a dark figure swiftly emerged and struck him with a palm strike.
Jared was taken aback, his body recoiling in shock, and he tumbled straight down from the mountainside.
The dark figure relentlessly pursued Jared, clinging onto him.
After Jared landed, he immediately countered with a palm strike.
Boom!
Following a thunderous boom, a dazzling beam of light radiated in all directions. The moment their palms touched, Jared was suddenly rendered speechless.
And the dark figure also halted, looking at Jared in disbelief.
“Mr. Hadad, why are you here?” Jared stared at Hadad. Hadad wore a shocked expression. “Why did you return? And it seems like your skills have significantly improved.”
“I have been in the Ethereal Realm for quite some time. What are you doing here, Mr. Hadad?” Jared asked, confused.
“I’m here to cultivate, of course. My suppressed soul remnant managed to escape back to the Ethereal Realm, and I’ve restored my physical form. I’ve lost a significant portion of my cultivation, so it’s only natural that I have to cultivate again. The Phantom Valley is filled with an abundance of lethal intent, making it the perfect place for cultivation. You rascal, you’ve obtained the Divine Bow and you’re not even hiding! You even dare to come here. Be careful of being discovered by the beast race.”
“No worries. Even if Lion Archon is here, he won’t dare to do anything to me.”
Jared gave a faint smile.
Hadad looked Jared up and down, then clicked his tongue in surprise. “I didn’t expect you, a First Level Tribulator cultivator, to be so strong. My previous attack didn’t seem to affect you much.”
“Mr. Hadad, it’s understandable that you harness lethal intents for cultivation purposes, but was it necessary to exterminate these telepathic beasts? Thankfully, Lion Archon is not present; otherwise, he would have likely uncovered your location.”
Jared gestured towards the lifeless bodies of the telepathic beasts strewn across the ground.
