No wonder he suddenly asked about the Five Great Sects. It turns out people from the Five Great Sects were nearby.
Filled with a murderous intent, Lauden cast his gaze toward Pablo and slowly made his way toward him.
Pablo grimaced.
"You dared to kill the disciples from the Five Great Sects. We will exact our vengeance." After Lauden finished speaking, he bellowed at the hundreds of disciples from the Five Great Sects, “Each of you, strike him with your sword once. Do it for the sake of your fallen brothers..." "Understood..." Hundreds of disciples from the Five Great Sects were all filled with righteous indignation.
Pablo was utterly bewildered. He was indeed seeking death, but he never said he wanted hundreds of people to stab him to death.
He was terrified, yet he found himself utterly helpless. He knew the consequences of resistance. It would only lead to a more gruesdeath.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA disciple from one of the Five Great Sects approached and struck Pablo.
One by one, they advanced until Pablo was ultimately left battered and bruised. Pablo died, but it wasn't Jared who killed him. He was, in fact, betrayed to his death.
Lauden stepped forward and said, "My friend, I sincerely apologize for misunderstanding you in the past..." Jared didn't respond. He merely glanced at Heinrik and the others, his eyes filled with intense resentment. He could hardly resist the urge to eliminate them right then and there.
However, at that time, he was still no match for the Five Great Sects. If these people teamed up, he was not confident of victory.
Moreover, he was there to find polar stones, so revenge had to be put on the back burner. However, Jared was one who always sought revenge. If he found the right opportunity, he wouldn't hesitate to strike.
"Let's go..." Jared turned and walked away, with Yuliya trailing behind him..
Heinrik stepped forward and whispered to Lauden, "Mr. Delacroix, this young man's worth is no less than that of the immortal's tomb. He's worth a hundred-year offering from the Demon Seal Alliance." "Do you still intend to trade his life to the Demon Seal Alliance for a hundred-year offering?" Lauden gave Heinrik a cold glance.
Heinrik promptly shut his mouth, while Lauden pursued Jared.
"Hmph, he's simply a fool for ignoring all those resources. It seems we'll have to make our move ahead of schedule. This could work to our advantage. We could capture Jared and exchange him for a reward," Heinrik said to Stuart and Edward.
"Right, let's make the first move. Didn't Mr. Delacroix say that as long as we left the Five Great Sects' territories, he wouldn't interfere with our actions against Jared? Let's test the waters later. If Mr. Delacroix really doesn't interfere, we can spare him a bit longer. But if he tries to stop us, we'll have to eliminate him first," Stuart stated coldly.
"Right, let's do it this way." Edward also nodded in agreement.
The only one who remained silent was Keelan.
His face wore an incredibly complex expression.
At that time, Jared had already brought Yuliya back into the cave.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon seeing the state Yuliya was in, Bianca was filled with surprise, She thought that Jared had forced himself on Yuliya.
Upon noticing Bianca's gaze, Jared hurriedly explained, "Don't leak atlike that I didn't do this. Quickly find E her sclothes." After finding and helping Yuliya put on her clothes, Bianca finally asked, "What's happened?" Yuliya kept her head down, not uttering a word.
In truth, having indirectly caused the death of two holy maidens, Yuliya was filled with immense guilt deep within her heart. Otherwise, she wouldn't have left the group.
"Why did they follow me?" Jared's brow furrowed. He realized that people from the Five Great Sects had actually followed him.
He had intended to avoid them, but to his surprise, these people had been following him all along.
He stepped out of the cave and saw Lauden approaching the entrance.
"Mr. Delacroix, why did you follow me?" Jared asked, somewhat annoyed.
Had it not been for Lauden assisting him during his tof distress with the Five Great Sects, Jared would E have been infuriated by now.
