Chapter 4082
Harlan’s face was as pale as a sheet as he helplessly gazed at Jared. The power of the Divine Flame Seal was too overwhelming for Harlan to bear.
Fortunately, his cultivation was still intact, and he was merely banished from the Violet Flame Sect.
“Mr. Thibaud, are you willing to leave the Violet Flame Sect with me? I assure you, you won’t be treated unfairly. All these years, you’ve offended Mr. Barclay and the rest for taking my side. Do you think you’ll still have a peaceful life once I leave?”
Harlan wanted to poach his subordinates from the Violet Flame Sect.
At that point, Winston and the rest felt intimidated. They knew that once they left the sect, they would be left without a home, even acquiring resources would become a challenge. However, if they didn’t, they would be in trouble when Dario and the others sought their revenge.
As Winston and the others hesitated, Gael said, “Let’s forgive and forget about the past. However, I won’t stand in anyone’s way if they wish to leave!”
“Don’t listen to him! If you stay, you will surely face retaliation in the future!” Harlan exclaimed loudly.
“Stay if you trust me, and feel free to leave if you don’t!” With a wave of his hand, Gael signaled Dario and the others to clear a path.
Upon witnessing the situation, Winston and the others exchanged glances. Then, one by one, they knelt to the ground. “We trust in you, Mr. Ortiz, and are ready to give our all for the Violet Flame Sect.”
Upon witnessing this scene, Harlan realized that his ship had sailed. No one was willing to follow him anymore like rats leaving a sinking ship. No one would obey him anymore since he had nothing and was a nobody.
“Fine!” Harlan leaped into the air, departing from the Violet Flame Sect.
He was worried that if he stayed any longer, Gael might change his mind and deal with him, which would spell trouble.
After Harlan left, Jared turned to Gael and said, “Mr. Ortiz, this Divine Flame Seal is a valuable treasure of the Violet Flame Sect. I’ll return it to you once I refine the fire fusion technique with this seal.”
The Divine Flame Seal belonged to the Violet Flame Sect. If Jared took it away, the future growth of the Violet Flame Sect would surely be hindered.
Jared was only there to learn about the firefusion technique. Even though the Divine Flame Seal was a powerful and valuable treasure, Jared knew he couldn’t be greedy.
He had already mastered two types of internal flames from the Violet Flame Sect and even learned the True Fire Spiritual body. Most importantly, he had also inherited all the cultivation techniques of the first Sect Leader of the Violet Flame Sect, Drei.
He would feel rather embarrassed if he were to take away the Divine Flame Seal.
With that being said, how could the Violet Flame Sect progress in the future?
“Since the Divine Flame Seal has chosen you as its master, you’re now the sect leader of the Violet Flame Sect. It’s unthinkable for a sect leader to give up the Divine Flame Seal,” Gael responded with a faint smile.
“No, no, no, I can’t possibly become the sect leader of the Violet Flame Sect, especially now that I’m being hunted down by the Demon Seal Alliance. I’ll only bring trouble to the Violet Flame Sect. Besides, I’m always on the move and don’t stay in one place for long, so it’s not feasible.”
Jared kept shaking his head.
However, Gael gave a slight smile, then turned to Jared and bowed. “Greetings to the new sect leader.”
Upon witnessing the scene, Dario and the others also knelt down one after another. “Greetings to the new sect leader.”
Judd, Carla, and the rest were all excitedly looking at Jared.
They were thrilled for him since he had become the new sect leader.
Jared gazed at the kneeling disciples and let out a resigned, bitter chuckle.
He seemed to have grasped Gael’s intention, so he said, “All right since all of you have chosen me, I suppose I can reluctantly accept. Everyone, please rise.”
“Mr. Chance, how should we deal with this guy?” Judd asked, pointing at Carlo, who was rooted in place from fear.
A glance from Jared sent intense fear into Carlo, causing him to bow repeatedly at Jared in terror.
“Lock him up for now. This guy’s got a decent grasp on array craft, we might as well keep him around for the time being.”
Jared wanted to probe the secrets of the Duad Formation Sect through Carlo. However, it wasn’t the time for that. At that moment, Jared needed to focus on mastering the fire fusion technique.
After relaying some instructions to Gael, Jared said, “I’m heading to Divine Flame Mountain to practice the fire fusion technique, so I’ll leave the sect’s affairs to you.”
Once Jared was done speaking, he leaped forward, heading straight for Divine Flame Mountain.
