“Mr. Vitellius, are you suggesting that it wasn’t Jared who killed the third elder, but someone else using Jared’s body?” It seemed as though Keaton had grasped the meaning of Toben’s words and asked.
Toben nodded. “Indeed, someone did use Jared’s body to kill our third elder. If an Ultimate Realm Level Three cultivator could slay an Immortal Realm Level Three cultivator with a single stroke, than what’s the point of cultivation? What’s the significance of the Heavenly Law?”
“Who was it? Who on earth did this?” Keaton furrowed his brows. It was clear that someone was targeting their Vitellius Sect.
“Didn’t you notice the girl by Jared’s side?” Toben asked.
Everyone took another careful look, when suddenly someone exclaimed, “That’s the princess of Twilight Imperial City, Catalina Lantz, the daughter of Corrado Lantz of Twilight Imperial City.”
Someone recognized Catalina’s identity.
“Indeed, that’s Corrado’s daughter.” Toben nodded in agreement.
“Could it be Twilight Imperial City? We have no grudges or grievances with Twilight Imperial City, so why would they target us, Vitellius Sect?”
Keaton, with a face full of confusion, asked, “Could it be because of Tenth Hall? After all, Elder Seren worked there…”
“I’m not sure either. I tried reaching out to Elder Seren multiple times but couldn’t get through. I also attempted to deduce the situation but to no avail,” Toben responded.
“Mr. Vitellius, what should we do, then? If it’s indeed the doing of Twilight Imperial City, I’m afraid we might be…” Keaton expressed his concerns with a heavy heart. After all, Vitellius Sect was simply no match for Twilight imperial City. That place was nothing less than an imperial city, and it even had the assistance of an expert like Infinides.
“If it truly was the doing of Twilight Imperial City, we must demand an explanation. With our combined forces of Three Unified Sects and Tenth Hall, we might just stand a chance against Twilight Imperial City. We could also involve the Haverford family at that time…”
“Don’t forget, Quenric from the Haverford family also works in Tenth Hall. With a single word from Elder Seren, how could the Haverford family dare not to obey?”
In his eyes, Toben was flashing a ruthless glint. “Notify Thorne Sect and Spirit Beast Sect immediately. We’re setting off for the Land of Finale right away. We can’t wait for the Celestial Stairway to descend any longer.”
“Understood,” Keaton nodded.
Just as the great elder was making arrangements, a cultivator from Thorne Sect arrived in a hurry. Due to the relationship between the three sects, no one hindered the Thorne Sect cultivator.
“Mr. Vitellius, I was sent by our great elder to inform you that our young master, Evan, has been murdered. We hope that you will come to the Thorne Sect to discuss this matter, Mr. Vitellius,” The cultivator from Thorne Sect spoke.
“What?” Toben abruptly stood up. “Who was it? Who killed my nephew?”
The cultivator from Thorne Sect responded, “Mr. Vitellius, it’s a guy named Jared.”
“Jared? Him again?” Toben’s body was trembling.
“Why is it this guy again? He’s clearly targeting us. This is just too outrageous!”
“Exactly, this guy has crossed the line. Even if favonovel.com has the backing of Twilight Imperial City, so what? We absolutely cannot let this go.”
“We must avenge our third elder! We must…”
“Revenge! Revenge!”
Every single cultivator at the Vitellius Sect was brimming with righteous indignation.
“Mr. Vitellius, we absolutely must eliminate Jared. Even if it means going to war with Twilight Imperial City, we cannot compromise,” Keaton said.
Toben nodded. “Immediately inform Spirit Beast Sect. We’ll head to Thorne Sect together. Also, send someone to personally visit Tenth Hall to find out what’s going on and why we can’t reach Elder Qian.”
“Understood!”
Keaton nodded, immediately setting off to make the arrangements.
For a moment, all the elites of Three Unified Sects were mobilized, causing a stir among the hidden powers in the Ethereal Realm.
Individually, the three clans might not have been particularly impressive. But when Thorne Sect, Vitellius Sect, and Spirit Beast Sect united, they were not to be underestimated. Together, they formed a formidable force.
Jared had managed to offend quite a number of people all at once. It remained to be seen how favonovel.com would resolve this mess.
