“Friend, I came here to apologize to you, and also to propose a partnership. It seems you’ve been in the polar region longer than us, so you’re more familiar with this place.” Lauden spoke to Jared in a very polite manner!
“Work with me?” Jared was taken aback, not at all expected Lauden to make such a request!
Jared glanced at the people standing behind Lauden, especially Heinrik, and chose not to respond!
Those guys had a grudge against him, so there was no way he would collaborate with them!
Upon hearing that Lauden was planning to collaborate with Jared, Heinrik and the others were slightly taken aback!
After exchanging glances, they were ready to take action against Lauden and Jared at any moment.
“Mr. Chance, what’s wrong?”
At that moment, Bianca emerged, leading a group of holy maidens!
Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the holy maidens, Heinrik and the others instantly became alert. Those who had initially planned to make a move halted their actions!
Lauden cast his gaze over Bianca and the others, realizing that they all possessed the power of Sixth Level Tribulator. He was taken aback, as not a single one among them was weak!
Although the Five Great Sects possessed notable strength, the abilities of their disciples were not particularly high.
Moreover, their levels of skill were vastly uneven. Among those hundreds of disciples from the Five Great Sects, the highest level of strength achieved was only Sixth Level Tribulator, and there was merely a handful of them at that level!
To the astonishment of everyone from the Five Great Sects, more than ten women, each possessing the power equivalent to Sixth Level Tribulator cultivators, suddenly appeared behind Jared!
Observing their identical attire, it was clear they belonged to the same sect!
If the power of a particular sect was that formidable, one could only imagine just how terrifying it was within the sect itself!
That was precisely why, upon encountering Bianca and her companions, Heinrik and his crew immediately abandoned their plans to engage in conflict!
“An old friend wanted to collaborate with us,” Jared said in an indifferent tone!
“Collaborate?” Bianca’s face was filled with caution!
All the clans and families who came there did so in search of treasure, driven by their own interests. Who would even consider partnering with others?
Quickly, Lauden addressed Bianca, saying, “We are new to the polar region and unfamiliar with the territory, which is why we proposed a partnership. Rest assured, should we locate the immortal’s tomb, we are more than willing to share the discovered treasures equally!”
Upon hearing that Lauden and his group were actually searching for the immortal’s tomb, Bianca was finally able to relax!
Clearly, they were tricked, too, because there was no such thing as the immortal’s tomb.
“Lauden, collaboration is indeed feasible. Once we locate the immortal’s tomb, we don’t want anything else. However, we do require a type of polar stone found there, and we insist that you do not compete with us for it. After all, that object is utterly useless to you. Only those who practice the frost cultivation techniques can truly utilize it!”
Jared went straight to the point and told Lauden about the matter of the polar stone.
“No problem, if it’s of no use to us, we definitely won’t fight over it!” Lauden agreed right away!
“Here’s to a pleasant collaboration.” Jared extended his hand toward Lauden, who in turn, reciprocated with a firm handshake with Jared!
However, in the moment of the handshake, Lauden subtly tightened his grip, as if he was hinting something to Jared!
Jared wore an expression of surprise, yet he failed to grasp the meaning behind Lauden’s action!
From start to finish, Lauden never consulted with the people behind him. Just like that, he decided to collaborate with Jared!
Heinrik and the others remained silent. Their dissatisfaction was evident, yet they dared not voice their concerns.
Jared, along with Bianca, took a rest inside the cave!
The individuals from the Five Great Sects had found a spot outside the cave to rest and recuperate!
Once dawn broke, they set out in search of the immortal’s tomb.
As Jared sat by the entrance of the cave, his eyes slightly closed, immersed in his meditation, suddenly, a surge of energy came rushing toward him!
In an instant, Jared’s eyes flew open, his body exuding an explosive aura, ready to strike at any moment!
After all, Heinrik and his associates had always been scheming to capture him and hand him over to the Demon Seal Alliance for a reward. Thus, Jared couldn’t help but be on guard!
