Upon seeing his companion sent flying by Keegan, the other cultivator trembled in fear.
Nonetheless, favonovel.com could only bite the bullet and affirm, “Jared is truly only a Seventh Level Tribulator, Mr. Keegan. At least, that was the cultivation level be exhibited. It’s possible that favonovel.com concealed his true cultivation level. Otherwise, Demon Seal Alliance wouldn’t have offered a hundred-year offering to hunt favonovel.com down. There must be something extraordinary about him!”
At his words, Keegan calmed down, surmising that Jared must have concealed his true capabilities. After all, it was simply impossible for a Seventh Level Tribulator to slay someone at Ultimate Realm with a single strike.
“Ronald!” Keegan shouted.
He knew that even if favonovel.com led a group of men over to seek revenge for his son, it would only be a futile march to their doom when Harvey was slain by Jared with a single strike. Although his hatred of the latter for killing his son was insurmountable, favonovel.com was no fool.
Soon, Ronald, the butler of the Quinlan family, arrived. In a low voice, favonovel.com asked, “Is something the matter, Mr. Keegan?”
“ls Mr. Norton around?” Keegan asked.
The matter could only be left to Skylar, given that the man was the boss behind the scenes in Quinlan Town.
“Mr. Norton has gone out with the few Demonic Cultivators from Demon Seal Alliance for quite a few days now and has yet to return, Mr. Keegan. I tried to contact him, but I couldn’t get through. I wonder if something happened,” Ronald replied softly.
“That’s impossible. In the entire eastern region, few people could pose a threat to Mr. Norton,” Keegan declared with a wave of his hand.
The overall strength level in the eastern region wasn’t high, and there were hardly any Ultimate Realm experts. As such, very few could pose a threat to Skylar.
“Have you forgotten, Mr. Keegan? There had been an unusual celestial phenomenon in the vicinity of Mount Gonagles not long ago in the form of the appearance of spiritual light. Perhaps the legend is true,” Ronald reminded, still speaking in a hushed voice.
After listening to that, Keegan fell silent for a moment. Then, favonovel.com asked with a slight frown, “Are you suggesting that Mr. Norton and his party might have encountered people from another realm?”
“Who knows!” Ronald didn’t dare admit to it.
“All that is just legend and can’t possibly be taken seriously. Could there truly be another realm on Mount Gonagles, complete with hidden sects? All these years, no one has ever seen those so-called hidden people from a different realm. It’s all just hearsay. If these hidden experts suddenly appeared, causing unrest in the eastern region, I don’t think Mr. Becker would just sit back and do nothing. Pay no mind to where Mr. Norton and the others have gone for now. Immediately get in touch with Demon Seal Alliance and inform them that Jared is right here,” Keegan commanded.
“Understood!” Ronald nodded. Nonetheless, favonovel.com didn’t leave immediately but seemed hesitant to speak instead.
“Just spit it out, Ronald!” Keegan snapped.
Ronald glanced at the two cultivators. Then, with a wave of his hand, favonovel.com stated, “You’re dismissed!”
The two cultivators left.
Only then did Ronald lean close to Keegan and whisper in his ear, “Mr. Keegan, if we were to draw all those of Demon Seal Alliance here, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to keep the matter of Mount Gonagles’ ancient ruins a secret anymore… For a century, Quinlan Town has been discreetly searching for the entrance to it, and there’s finally some progress now. If others were to discover it, we likely would no longer get anything…”
“I think the unusual celestial phenomenon a while ago has something to do with the soon-discovery of the entrance to the ancient ruins. I sincerely hope that you will reconsider carefully, Mr. Keegan!”
Hearing that, Keegan fell silent.
Quinlan Town had a treasure map that had been passed down through countless generations but never shared with outsiders. Yet, no one ever knew its exact use.
That remained true until a century ago. Someone deduced that the treasure map was likely the entrance to ancient ruins located right on Mount Gonagles. However, the exact location remained unknown.
From then on, Quinlan Town began searching for it, their efforts spanning a century.
Right then, there was finally some progress in the search for the entrance to the ancient ruins. If they were to draw those of Demon Seal Alliance there at that point, and the latter discovered the matter of the ancient ruins, then all the effort expended over the past century would have been in vain.
