NovelAppThe news of Keiran’s death cast a terrifying gloom over the entire Mueller family.
Since the head of the Mueller family, who was also Keiran’s father, was in solitary cultivation, no one dared to make a decision regarding that matter.
An elderly man with a beard and a thin figure asked, “Can we be certain that Mr. Keiran was murdered?” That person was Terrence Stinton, the Mueller family’s chief butler. After the head of the Mueller family went into solitary cultivation, Terrence was tasked with handling all the family’s affairs.
“Yes. The message cfrom Lunarius Palace. Ms. Selma had personally sent the message.” At that moment, a servant from the Mueller family handed a letter to Terrence.
Terrence unfolded the letter, and after he read the content, his expression turned cold and stern.
“I can’t believe Mr. Keiran was killed by this guy named Jared, and Ms. Nieva is even sheltering that guy. Relay these orders at once! The Mueller family members are forbidden from collaborating with Lunarius Palace. Also, select a few experts to standby in Lunarius Palace's vicinity to heed Ms. Selma’s commands at any moment.” Upon reading the letter, Terrence immediately made the arrangements.
It seemed that Selma had no intention of letting Jared off the hook. The moment Jared stepped out of Lunarius Palace, she would make her move against him.
Even if she found it inconvenient to take action personally, she could still have the Mueller family experts, who were hiding near Lunarius Palace, eliminate Jared.

Selma was determined to avenge Keiran.
Apart from eliminating Jared, Selma also had plans to journey to the polar region. The Mueller family and Lunarius Palace had always been on good terms, and Keiran was also set to take part in the expedition, so there wasn't an issue.
However, Keiran was dead now. The polar region was clearly abundant with resources and opportunities. Selma simply couldn't let slip of this chance.
If possible, the Mueller family also desired to claim the immortal’s tomb in the polar region as their own.
At the crack of dawn the next day, Jared woke up after having slept exceptionally well that night.
He reckoned that was likely due to the exhaustion from the intense battle he had endured the previous day.
At that moment, Nieva was already standing in the courtyard, staring blankly at the snowy mountains.
Jared stretched languidly, then greeted Nieva, “Good morning, Ms. Nieva!” “Mr. Chance, how was your rest?” inquired Nieva.
“Pretty good. | didn’t expect to sleep so comfortably here,” Jared responded.
“I'm glad that you've rested well. | was worried you might lose sleep from getting hung up over Lunarius Palace's female disciples,” Nieva teased.
Upon hearing that, Jared gave an awkward laugh.
“Mr. Chance, cwith me. I'll take you to retrieve the Demonia Stones and introduce you to your companions along the way,” Nieva said.
“Companion?” Jared was taken aback.
“Do you really think you can venture to the polar region without companions?” Nieva asked with a smile.
“Aren’t those cultivators who had passed the trials considered companions? Didn't you mention that each of them could choose one disciple from Lunarius Palace and then journey to the polar region together?” Jared asked in surprise.

“Indeed. They are also headed to the polar region. However, as I've mentioned before, they are merly pathfinders. You must understand that the journey to the polar region is fraught with peril. Many might meet their end midway. Those individuals aren’t your companions, and you won't be journeying with them. They are set to depart tomorrow,” Nieva explained.
After hearing that, Jared was at a loss for words. He knew those people were considered cannon fodders, but he couldn't help feeling a peculiar sensation, watching them march to their doom. “Ms. Nieva, will Yuliya also accompany those people on their journey?” Jared asked.
Yuliya was the only person Jared was better acquainted with in Lunarius Palace.
“What's the matter? Have you taken a liking to her, Mr. Chance? It that's the case , I can arranger for someone else to lead the team.” Nieva gave a slight smile. “That's not it. | was just asking casually.” Jared hurriedly waved his hand.
“Cwith me. The companions I've found for you are no less captivating than Yuliya, Mr. Chance.” Nieva smiled, then turned and took off into the air.
Seeing that, Jared quickly followed suit.
