The skull had already turned jade-like, exhibiting a transparent state, and it was emitting a substantial amount of heat waves!
The reason why the accumulated snow there had melted was due to that skull!
Gazing at the skull before him, Jared couldn’t dare to imagine that it could possibly belong to the infamous Vermilion Demon Lord!
Picking up the skull, a rush of aura instantly flooded into Jared’s consciousness field. Vermilion Demon Lord, on the other hand, was so thrilled he almost jumped with excitement!
“I’m starting to remember some things…” Astoundingly, Vermilion Demon Lord had actually flown out from Jared’s consciousness field!
Upon witnessing the situation, Jared was taken aback. The soul remnant of the Vermilion Demon Lord was still surviving within his consciousness. If it were to escape, he feared it would vanish quickly!
When Alastair saw a soul remnant suddenly fly out from Jared’s body, he was taken aback!
“Mr. Vermilion, doing this is dangerous!” Jared hurriedly reminded!
Vermilion Demon Lord didn’t utter a word. Instead, he took hold of his own skull!
From within that skull, a series of faint lights continuously intertwined with the soul remnant of Vermilion Demon Lord!
A moment later, Vermilion Demon Lord displayed an expression of agony before he found himself back within Jared’s consciousness field!
Stunned, Alastair stared at everything unfolding before him, not daring to utter a single word!
“Mr. Vermilion, did you remember something?” Jared hastily inquired!
“This mountain range is my final resting place. My body lies beneath the entirety of Demonia Mountain.” Vermilion Demon Lord spoke, his eyes vacant.
“Um…” Jared was at a loss for words.
Demonia Mountain, after all, was the largest mountain range in the entire Ethereal Realm, stretching across the whole southern region.
The body of Vermilion Demon Lord was buried within that vast mountain range, which would make finding his body harder than finding a needle in a haystack!
“Mr. Vermilion, do you know who killed you, buried your body on Demonia Mountain, and trapped your soul remnant?” Jared asked!
The person who managed to slay Vermilion Demon Lord, dismember his body, and bury it in Demonia Mountain while also suppressing his soul there must have been incredibly powerful!
Vermilion Demon Lord shook his head. “I’m not sure. My memory is still quite hazy. However, sooner or later, I’ll remember. And when I do, I’ll seek my revenge.” The eyes of Vermilion Demon Lord began to fill with murderous intent as he was gradually regaining his memory.
“Mr. Vermilion, currently we only have your hand and skull bones. I’m afraid your revival might be a bit challenging. However, given the chance and clues, I will search for the rest of your skeletal remains.” Jared addressed Vermilion Demon Lord!
As for Vermilion Demon Lord, Jared could only tread carefully around. If Vermilion Demon Lord were to be reborn, he could potentially become Jared’s most powerful ally!
“Kid, you’ve shown kindness. If I were truly able to be reborn, I promise you a carefree life in the celestial realm!” Vermilion Demon Lord expressed his gratitude fervently!
Upon hearing that, Jared instantly knew that this guy was bragging!
The celestial realm was teeming with masters, and there were still numerous higher levels to reach. The so-called Vermilion Demon Lord was merely at level nine!
If he were truly exceptional, he wouldn’t have ended up being killed and dismembered!
However, for Jared, being invincible in Ethereal Realm and assisted for ascension was not bad at all!
Having departed from Snow River Valley, Jared was on his way back to Lunarius Palace!
Alastair’s mission was accomplished, and he was set to return to Southedge City to continue making money!
“Sir, although I’m not privy to your identity, the divine weapons you bear confirm that you’re no ordinary cultivator. Here’s twenty purple spirit coins for you. Consider it as a token of assistance for what I’ve done earlier. I’d really like to befriend you!”
Alastair was no fool. He was always fearful that after swindling Jared’s money, Jared would harbor thoughts of revenge!
Moreover, using that amount of money to befriend someone like Jared was certainly worth it!
Upon seeing Alastair’s reaction, Jared knew that the guy was scared after witnessing his capabilities!
Jared gave a faint smile and said, “Take the money. It’s rightfully yours. I won’t bother you over such a small amount. Perhaps, after a while, I might need your help again. After all, you’re more familiar with this place!”
