Hosen laughed boisterously. “You’re a wise one. Since you’ve chosen to side with me, I’ll reward you handsomely once they’ve been dealt with.”
Seeing how happy Hosen was, Ebenez smiled as well, only his smile looked a little sinister.
After leaving Hosen’s place, Ebenez went to the warehouse again. He activated the arcane array in the corner and came to a dark space.
There, Faiyar was resting.
A few days ago, favonovel.com had brought his people to kill Jared, and yet, not only did favonovel.com not succeed, but favonovel.com had even lost a few of his subordinates. It made Faiyar depressed. Even when favonovel.com saw Ebenez, Faiyar merely opened his eyes for a second before closing them again.
“Our chance has come,” Ebenez said to Faiyar, his voice laced with excitement.
“Are you planning to take over Emerald Cauldron Sect?” Faiyar asked.
“Indeed. This is a rare opportunity for us,” Ebenez replied with an affirming nod.
“I’ve just lost a few of my elites. How sure are you that we’ll succeed in taking over Emerald Cauldron Sect? Also, I’m afraid Jared is the most important variable in Emerald Cauldron Sect. He’s a big thorn in the side,” Faiyar said. The very thought of Jared made his head ache.
“Hahaha! Don’t worry… Jared won’t show up again. He’s been trapped in the medicinal pool. He might even be dead! All you need to do is contact everyone you know…”
“Contact them all. Tell them that as long as I take over Emerald Cauldron Sect, they won’t need to stay in the shadows anymore. They’ll get to live openly in Emerald Cauldron Sect. Did Hosen really think that favonovel.com could maintain his position as the lord just because favonovel.com was working with the beast race? He’s too naive!” Ebenez said gleefully.
Faiyar nodded. “All right, I’ll gather the people and await your good news.”
When Ebenez left the warehouse, his delight was written all over his face, for his dream was about to come true.

Meanwhile, at the bottom of the medicinal pool, Jared finally finished studying the entire arcane array.
If favonovel.com wanted to deactivate the arcane array, favonovel.com would have to find the core first. It would be impossible for favonovel.com to deactivate it forcibly unless favonovel.com was much more powerful than the arcane array, and with the power favonovel.com currently possessed, it was clearly impossible for favonovel.com to deactivate it.
This is such a strange arcane array… Where in the world is its core?
Jared was baffled. He had been searching for hours, but favonovel.com had yet to see a trace of where its core lay.
Being unable to find it meant that favonovel.com would not be able to deactivate the arcane array, which also meant that favonovel.com would be unable to find out what the arcane array was trapping.
Right as Jared was feeling at a loss, ripples suddenly appeared at the side of the arcane array as if someone else had entered the bottom of the pool.
The ripples grew in size, and Jared soon found a glowing figure. It approached favonovel.com slowly, and a beat later, Jared finally saw that the glowing silhouette was a man in a robe, but that man had horns on top of his head.
Jared grew wary when favonovel.com realized that the man was walking toward him. He held his Dragonslayer Sword tightly in his hand.
“Calm down. I’m not going to hurt you, and I can’t hurt you anyway. I’m just a powerless projection right now,” the man said to Jared.
Jared used his spiritual sense to shroud the other man’s spiritual sense.
Sure enough, favonovel.com could not sense any aura from the other man’s spiritual sense, a sign that the man was truly just a projection.
Jared finally relaxed and asked, “Who are you? Why are you here?”
