With a cool smile, Jared responded, “You’re robbing me.”
“Well, I did. What can you do about it? Let me tell you, wealth is but a worldly possession. Be careful, or you might lose your life over money! If you die, then-”
Before Alastair could even finish his sentence, he realized that Jared had disappeared.
Immediately after, a dark figure flashed before him. Alastair felt his breath hitch, struggling to catch his breath.
Before anyone knew it, Jared was already before Alastair’s eyes and gripping Alastair’s throat.
Alastair’s eyes were wide open, filled with an expression of utter disbelief.
Despite being a Fifth Level Tribulator, he had no time to react before he was completely controlled by Jared, who was merely a Third Level Tribulator.
“Nobody has ever dared to rob from me…” Jared’s gaze was icy cold, while his hands ceaselessly emitted waves of aura.
Alastair was suppressed by this overwhelming aura, rendering him completely immobile. Moreover, he could feel his divine soul gradually being stripped away, bit by bit.
Alastair was thrown into a panic, and he realized he was dealing with an expert.
How could someone who casually spent over a dozen purple spirit coins possibly be an ordinary cultivator? Sh*t! Regret consumed Alastair, and beads of cold sweat continuously dripped down his forehead.
“Sir, please show mercy. I haven’t deceived you. I genuinely know the way to Lunarius Palace, and it’s absolutely safe. I can take you to Lunarius Palace and also return all your money to you. Please, Sir. Show me some mercy and spare my life,” Alastair pleaded. “I have elderly parents who are hundreds of years old and children who are decades old. They all rely on me to provide for them…”
As Alastair spoke, tears surprisingly began to fall.
Jared didn’t intend to kill him either. After all, it wasn’t worth it over just a handful of purple spirit coins.
“Do you truly know the way to Lunarius Palace?” Jared asked.
Since he couldn’t register himself, Jared had no choice but to head to Lunarius Palace himself. If someone could guide him, that would be more than ideal.
“I do! If I were to lie, may the heavens strike me with thunder, let lightning end my life, and forever bar me from reincarnation.”
Quickly, Alastair made a solemn vow.
Seeing that, Jared loosened his grip on Alastair.
Alastair was panting heavily and feeling relieved.
“First, I’ll repay you the money. After that, I’ll take you there…”
As he spoke, Alastair reached for his wallet.
With a wave of his hand, Jared casually said, “No need. If you take me to Lunarius Palace, consider that money as your fee!”
Alastair’s eyes lit up instantly when he heard that. He patted his chest confidently and assured, “Sir, don’t worry. I will definitely take you to Lunarius Palace, both swiftly and safely!”
Alastair led Jared away from Southedge City, subsequently arriving at the foot of Demonia Mountain. There, it was a blanket of endless snow, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Alastair did not lead Jared up the mountain. Instead, they continued their journey south along the base of the mountain.
Jared was somewhat taken aback. Lunarius Palace is situated on the mountain, yet Alastair isn’t taking me up there!
Alastair could see the confusion in Jared’s eyes, so he clarified, “Sir, I have my own secret passage that leads to Lunarius Palace. However, it only takes you as far as the entrance of the outer court. If you wish to get inside, you’ll have to figure out a way on your own. I don’t even have the connections to get into the outer court, let alone meet the head of Lunarius Palace. All that was just me boasting!”
Alastair spoke truthfully because he was aware of Jared’s prowess. He dared not hide anything from Jared.
“No problem. Just lead me to Lunarius Palace!” Jared said in a nonchalant manner. I just need to locate Lunarius Palace, figure out a way to meet the head of the palace, and obtain Demonia Stone. After that, all will be fine!
Jared didn’t want to linger in Lunarius Palace, nor did he want to bother Keiran any longer. After all, given his status, it wasn’t suitable for him to stay in one place for too long.
If his identity were exposed, the ensuing complications would be immense.
The Decree of Execution from Demon Seal Alliance indeed caused a great deal of inconvenience for Jared.
Jared made a promise to himself. One day, mark my words, I’ll crush Demon Seal Alliance!
At that moment, with his current strength, the idea of annihilating Demon Seal Alliance was nothing short of a pipe dream.
