Land of Finale, Doveston.
Jared’s mansions in Twilight Imperial City and Doveston had collapsed.
Indeed, at that time, Jared had been deep in thought about his conversation with Sires. He found those eyes incredibly familiar, yet favonovel.com just couldn’t place them. Moreover, favonovel.com didn’t recognize the other person’s aura. It was clear that they were a stranger.
“How could I feel familiar with a stranger?” Jared lay on the bed, his face filled with confusion.
“Jared, Jared, I have some good news and some bad news! Which one do you want to hear first?” At that moment, Fraser burst into the room, addressing Jared.
“What’s the good and bad news?” Jared asked.
“Which one do you want to hear first?” Fraser teased.
“Bad news,” Jared responded.
“The bad news is that all the experts from Three Unified Sects are heading to the Land of Finale to seek revenge on you,” Fraser revealed.
“I saw that coming.” Jared wasn’t bothered, then asked, “What’s the good news?”
“The good news is that my father brought along all the top experts from Twilight Imperial City, those of the Ultimate Realm Level Nine and higher levels,” Fraser remarked with a smile.
“So early?” Jared was somewhat surprised.
Before the Celestial Stairway even appeared, Corrado had already arrived with everyone.
It must have been Corrado who received the news, aware that Three Unified Sects was planning to strike against him, which was why favonovel.com brought his men and arrived ahead of time.
“After my father arrives, you won’t have anything to fear. The Three Unified Sects’ influence is nothing compared to Twilight Imperial City,” Fraser declared with a strong sense of pride.
“Does this mean I can now walk freely in the Land of Finale?” Jared said with a laugh.
“Well, that’s not entirely true. Twilight Imperial City isn’t actually the most influential power in the Ethereal Realm. However, as long as you don’t provoke the people from the Fire Incineration Sect and Four Hell Palace, you basically won’t encounter any issues,” Fraser replied.
“Fire Incineration Sect?” Jared’s brows furrowed. “Is the Fire Incineration Sect’s influence stronger than that of Twilight Imperial City?”
Jared had given his word to Hammerhead, promising to rescue the sect leader of the Divine Smithing Sect from the Fire Incineration Sect
Given his limited capabilities, Jared had always refrained from taking action. Now that Twilight Imperial City had become his stronghold, favonovel.com harbored ambitions of leading it to vanquish the Fire Incineration Sect and rescue the leader of Divine Smithing Sect.
It seemed, however, that the power of Twilight Imperial City was not quite on par with the Fire Incineration Sect.
“Of course, the Fire Incineration Sect is considered the most powerful force in the Ethereal Realm. However, the people of the Fire Incineration Sect are rather unassuming. They don’t engage in conflicts lightly, and they certainly don’t vie for resources…”
“Years ago, the Fire Incineration Sect launched a sudden attack on the Divine Smithing Sect, wiping out most of their skilled fighters. This nearly led to the disappearance of the Divine Smithing Sect…”
“Rumor has it that even the sect leader of the Divine Smithing Sect was captured. From then on, there were no more rumors of the Fire Incineration Sect clashing with others. Moreover, the Fire incineration Sect had openly established their sect at the peak of the mountain, never hiding. Yet, no one seems to bother them…” Fraser explained to Jared.
Jared furrowed his brows, his expression turning solemn. It seemed that rescuing the sect leader of the Divine Smithing Sect wouldn’t be an easy task.
“What? Are you involved with the Fire Incineration Sect?” Fraser looked at Jared, questioning the expression on his face.
“Oh, no…” Jared shook his head, then continued to ask, “What kind of power does this Four Hell Palace you mentioned possess? I’ve never heard of it…”
“It’s a Demonic Cultivator power. I heard that the leader of the Four Hell Palace was a celestial being, trapped in the Ethereal Realm. This was the only Demonic Cultivator force in the entire Ethereal Realm that wasn’t targeted by others,” Fraser said.
In a world where Demonic Cultivators were universally reviled and hunted, survival was no easy feat. They had to constantly stay on the move, ducking and hiding, or retreat to the depths of Demonia Mountain for refuge.
It seemed that Four Hell Palace was thriving in the Ethereal Realm, with no one daring to cross them.
Once one’s power was strong enough, their identity and background truly didn’t matter.
