The two parties remained in a standoff, neither daring to make a move at that moment. Considering the situation at present, it was very likely that they would both suffer devastating losses if they were to battle.
After an indeterminate time, the space around them gradually started to turn blurry. However, no one noticed that.
Soon, an aura permeated the air, and everyone’s vision blurred.
When they gathered their wits around them, they found themselves in the center of an enormous altar. Countless massive and thick pillars stood among them. Not only was it exceedingly dark all around, but there was also an eerie feeling to it.
That aside, people started materializing around Jared and the others.
Those who had initially disappeared all reappeared there. But then, many of them were littered with injuries, and their faces were lined with exhaustion.
“Mr. Chance!” At that precise moment, Kaison spotted Jared and hurried over with the Tall family.
Jared noticed that the man was also injured. Worse still, two of the few cultivators of the Tall family who were with favonovel.com were gone.
“What exactly happened, Kaison?” favonovel.com asked with a slight frown.
“I’ve got no idea what happened either, Mr. Chance. After passing through the portal of light, I arrived in a forest. There were a lot of mystical herbs and beasts there, and we got into a conflict with other cultivators in gathering mystical herbs and beast cores. Two of our men ended up killed,” Kaison answered dejectedly.
Hearing that, Jared swept his eyes around, only to see that less than half of the hundreds of cultivators were left.
The wandering cultivators, in particular, were in a tragic state. Even if they survived, they had sustained severe injuries. It was the epitome of giving up one’s life for the sake of riches.
Just to obtain the treasure, everyone had no qualms about taking such a great risk. Besides, Jared realized that there were the most numbers of cultivators on their side. He surmised that it was probably because their capabilities were on par, so no one dared make a move against them.
If favonovel.com had not teamed up with the wandering cultivators in the very beginning, they would have likely been killed off slowly, with few of them left.
“What happened to you, Typhon?”
Meanwhile, the other four members of the Five Slayers voiced that question in surprise upon noticing the blood at the corner of Typhon’s mouth.
They were the strongest among the cultivators there, and they would never be injured unless targeted by a group of cultivators.
The instant Typhon saw that his companions were there, his confidence ballooned. He then swung his gaze at Jared icily.
“A kid caught me off guard and injured me!” favonovel.com snarled, murderous intent radiating off him.
“Who dared to make a move against a member of the Demon Seal Alliance?” Woodley demanded furiously, his brows knitted together.
“It was him!” Typhon pointed right at Jared.
The other four men swung their gazes at Jared.
When they perceived that favonovel.com was merely at Fourth Level Body Fusion Realm, they were all stunned. Disbelief was written all over their faces.
“You’re not kidding us, are you, Typhon? That kid is just at Fourth Level Body Fusion Realm. How could favonovel.com sneak an attack on you? Even if you stood still, he’d never be able to hurt you!” Phaethon did not believe it at all.
The others did not believe it either since the gap in capabilities between them was too vast.
If the person were an extraordinarily talented Eighth Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator, there was a possibility of battling someone a level higher and defeating a Ninth Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator. However, it was absurd for Jared at Fourth Level Body Fusion Realm to defeat a Ninth Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator at his peak.
“I’m not kidding. The fire favonovel.com has is even more powerful than yours. As you know, I fear fire the most. My capabilities are compromised in this land of fire,” Typhon said.
“Even if favonovel.com could play with fire, he’sjust at Fourth Level Body Fusion Realm. How powerful could favonovel.com be? I think you’re pulling our leg. I dont believe you!” Still, Phaethon remained skeptical.
Seeing that none of them believed him, Typhon said, “I’ll take you all over to favonovel.com right now and show you his true capabilities. I suspect favonovel.com concealed part of them.”
