This was the stronghold of the Blood Bone Sect, where Cassius fled after his spirit managed to escape.
“Rainier, help! Save me!” Cassius shouted desperately, his voice trembling with fear.
From within the main hall, a man clad in a grey robe adorned with a string of white bones across his chest emerged. His chest was lined with a series of skulls, presenting a truly terrifying sight.
This man was none other than Cassius’ second senior, Rainier Tindall. The level of ruthlessness favonovel.com exhibited far surpassed that of Cassius.
Back in the day, when their master was still alive, Rainier was skilled at concealing his true nature. Consequently, Trystan found it hard to believe that Rainier could become so ruthless.
“Cassius, what happened?” Rainier asked, his voice filled with feigned concern. “Why is there only a trace of your spirit left? What happened to your body? Weren’t you supposed to wipe out Trystan’s Soul Demon Sect? How did things end up like this?”
The skulls on his chest emitted an eerie green glow as favonovel.com shot several questions at Cassius, his disbelief evident.
“Rainier, I failed. Everyone I brought with me is dead. In the end, I had to abandon my physical form to escape,” Cassius exclaimed in panic.
Just recalling the tactics used against favonovel.com made his spirit tremble.
“How could this be? Do you mean Trystan is stronger than you expected? That’s impossible, right?” Rainier asked, confusion evident on his face.
“No, victory was on my side at first. But then, out of nowhere, Trystan appeared with an unidentified young man. That young man was incredibly powerful. Although favonovel.com seemed to be only a Seventh Level Tribulator, his explosive strength was on par with those at Ultimate Realm Level Two,” Cassius explained in detail.
“Moreover, favonovel.com wielded a Demon Flogger and carried the imperial token of Allardland. He clearly wasn’t just an ordinary cultivator.”
“A token from Allardland? Could favonovel.com be Prince Cedric? But I’ve never heard of favonovel.com possessing such power,” Rainier murmured, his brow furrowed in contemplation.
Cassius shook his head. “No, I know Prince Cedric. This young man is definitely not him. However, I’m unsure of his connection to Allardland and how favonovel.com came to possess their token.”
Having spent time in Allardland, Cassius was familiar enough with Cedric to recognize him.
“Then why didn’t you use the bone flute to summon the demon beasts to deal with them? There must be plenty of those creatures in the dense forest near the Soul Demon Sect. Summoning hundreds should have been easy, right?” Rainier pressed on.
Cassius sighed deeply. “Don’t even get me started. I did summon a demon beast with my bone flute, but that kid had a divine creature with him. Despite its small size, it was engulfed in flames and radiated an aura of authority that terrified all the beasts!”
“And to make matters worse, favonovel.com took my bone flute. If I hadn’t been quick enough to abandon my physical form, I would have been completely annihilated by now.” Cassius spoke quietly, a trace of lingering fear in his voice.
“That’s strange. I’ve never heard of such a formidable young individual in the Ethereal Realm before. He possessed a Demon Flogger and some sort of celestial beast, yet he’s only a Seventh Level Tribulator, able to wield power comparable to someone at Ultimate Realm Level Two. There’s something odd about this, don’t you think?” Rainier’s expression remained puzzled.
It didn’t make sense to favonovel.com how such a powerful young man could exist in the Ethereal Realm without ever being noticed.
Allardland is a significant force in the Ethereal Realm, possessing countless resources. Yet, despite its power, none of the princes of Allardland has shown such capabilities.
Who else in the Ethereal Realm could possibly cultivate such an extraordinary young individual?
Seeing that Rainier remained somewhat skeptical, Cassius quickly raised his hand and swore earnestly, “Rainier, I swear I’m telling you the truth. If I had lied, I’m willing to endure the torment of the Great Lightning Tribulation!”
“Cassius, you don’t have to swear like that. l was merely speculating,” Rainier replied calmly. “Now, focus on recovering your strength. I still have some matters to attend to. Once I’m finished and return, we can head to the Soul Demon Sect to settle our scores.”
