“Your Majesty, could you take a look at this area within the red circle? What place is it?” Jared spread the map out in front of Bernard.
After examining it carefully, Bernard shook his head and said, “I’m not sure. This place seems to be within Demonia Mountain, an area I seldom visit. However, I know that before the Celestial Battle, there were numerous ancient cities there, and the territory was exceptionally vast…”
“After the Celestial Battle, many ancient cities in Ethereal Realm were destroyed. Had it not been for this war, Allardland would have been considered insignificant in Ethereal Realm. However, since there’s a marking on this map, there must be something special about this place.”
“Yeah, I feel the same way. I’ll check it out if I have the time…” Jared had put away the map.
However, Jared didn’t immediately investigate the locations marked on the map. Instead, favonovel.com began his cultivation in Allardland, leveraging the resources favonovel.com had seized.
During that period, Bernard also began to reconstruct the imperial city. Since Allardland had amassed three thousand years of prosperity, there was no longer any need to worry about retaliation from the Demon Seal Alliance.

Meanwhile, Talcott and his crew had made their escape and returned to Demon Seal Alliance Headquarters.
Tavon sat in the leader’s seat, with Talcott and the elites of the Demon Seal Alliance standing on either side of him, each one with their heads bowed low in despondency.
The impact on them earlier was simply too immense. If even a governor was frightened and fled, there was nothing else they could do.
Tavon drank alcohol continuously. Having experienced death once, the fear of dying had left an even deeper impression on him.
He still didn’t dare to return to the Tenth Hall, as favonovel.com was clueless about how to explain himself to Tennyson.
The atmosphere within the headquarters of the Demon Seal Alliance was unbearably tense.
A moment later, Tavon rose to his feet, capturing the attention of everyone present. All eyes were on him.
“Follow me to the Tenth Hall.” Tavon was speaking to Talcott.
“Mr. Lorthan, I… Would my presence even make a difference?” Talcott no longer dared to go as favonovel.com was afraid to face Tennyson.
“You must come. There are still such experts in Ethereal Realm, and you didn’t even report it. This is a clear dereliction of your duty!” Tavon exclaimed in anger.
Talcott certainly didn’t want to be the scapegoat, so favonovel.com addressed Tavon, “Mr. Lorthan, Mr. Gatlin reminded you before that there was a powerful expert backing Jared, but you didn’t believe him… You Claimed you could knock them out with a single punch.”
“Insolence!” Tavon roared in anger, “I merely made an offhand comment back then. Enough with the nonsense. Follow me to the Tenth Hall!”
Talcott was reluctant, but favonovel.com was still dragged by Tavon to the Tenth Hall.
When Talcott and Tavon showed up in the Tenth Hall, Tennyson had already been waiting for them.
“Tavon, your bodily spirit vanished and then reappeared. What happened? I actually thought you were already dead,” said Tennyson.
As a member of the Celestial Palace, when Tavon was reduced to ashes, his bodily spirit lamp in the Tenth Hall was extinguished.
The extinguishing of the bodily spirit lamp signified that the person had passed away.
When Tennyson saw the bodily spirit lamp of Tavon extinguished, favonovel.com was somewhat shocked. However, when the bodily spirit lamp reignited itself shortly after, Tennyson began to wonder if there was something wrong with the bodily spirit lamp.
“I was killed by someone, but then the same person brought me back to life,” Tavon said forthrightly, not daring to hide a single detail.
“Huh? He killed you and then brought you back to life?” Tennyson was taken aback. “What’s going on? Are there such powerful beings in Ethereal Realm?”
Tavon recounted the events in detail, than said, “My Lord, it’s all because of Talcott’s flawed investigation that I underestimated the enemy and suffered a great loss.”
Tavon shifted the blame for his own underestimation of the enemy onto Talcott.
“Who could so casually take your life and then just as easily restore it? What kind of person is this? What kind of power do they possess?” Tennyson did not reprimand. Instead, favonovel.com found himself intrigued by the person Tavon spoke of.
