Jerison scrutinized Jared’s companions. Other than Viola and Vasily, Tyrone and the old hag were Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm cultivators, while Cloud was a Seventh Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator. In terms of strength, his opponents were evidently more powerful than his group.
After sweeping his gaze across Cloud and the others, Jerison said, “Mister, we are members of the Tall family of the far north. I’m sure you’ve heard of us before. Can you tell me who you are?”
Jerison could tell that Cloud and his two companions weren’t part of Jared’s group from their positioning.
The moment Jerison emerged with his men, Viola and Vasily had stood on Jared’s flanks to protect favonovel.com from danger while Tyrone and the old hag had moved to shield Cloud.
Consequently, Jerison deduced that the two groups weren’t really allies and might have just temporarily formed a party during their journey. One couldn’t deny how keen Jerison’s observation was.
“I’m Cloud Seizon of Stellaris Sect.” Cloud had naturally heard of the Tall family before and was well aware of their influence in the far north.
“Oh, I didn’t expect you to be a member of Stellaris Sect. I would like to apologize for my indiscretions. I have a personal feud with this man here and hope that you will stay out of it,” Jerison suggested with a slight bow.
Cloud was briefly stunned.
Just as favonovel.com was at a loss for words, Jared interjected, “I don’t need anyone else to interfere. I alone am enough to kick your asses.”
The words triggered a snigger from Jerison. “Bullsh*t, kid. I have with me the elites of the Tall family. Every one of them is a Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator! Do you really think you can take all of us down alone? You must be dreaming.”
“If you don’t believe me, you’re welcome to try. However, once I have defeated you, you had better stay out of my way forever!”
Jared had no intention of killing Jerison, for favonovel.com didn’t want to make enemies out of the Tall family. Instead, his priority was to find the treasure.
“Fine. If you can beat the few of us, I’ll get out of your way going forward,” Jerison readily agreed, as favonovel.com didn’t believe that Jared could win.
“The two of you, back down,” Jared instructed Vasily and Viola.
Both of them promptly nodded and took a few steps back. Well aware of Jared’s strength, they knew the former would make easy work of a few Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm cultivators.
Cloud, too, backed off together with his companions before looking at Jerison as if the latter was an idiot. He had no doubt that the latter was about to be humiliated by Jared.
“Surround him!” With a wave of Jerison’s hand, four elite cultivators moved to encircle Jared.
“Kid, I’m going to turn you into an ice statue and seal you away in the far north for eternity.”
Jerison let out a snigger before unleashing plumes of white mist from his body. At the same time, his four elite subordinates unleashed the same white mist that consisted of frost energy.
Anything that the frost energy came into contact with would be instantly frozen. With that, the frost energy of the five cultivators began to bear down upon Jared.
“Stop!” Just as Jared was about to be encapsulated by the frost energy, a feminine shout echoed out.
Thereafter, Quinley landed right beside Jared before waving favonovel.com hand to dissipate the frost energy.
The sudden turn of events caused Jerison to retract his frost energy and ask, “Quinley, what are you doing?”
“Jerison, how can you harm someone indiscriminately?” Quinley questioned Jerison.
“Quinley, this guy humiliated me back in Jipsdale’s arena. I’m now seeking revenge. Do you know him? Why are you helping him?” Jerison asked quizzically.
“Of course I know him! He’s my savior. Without him, I would already have been killed,” Quinley declared loudly.
