Jared’s face was a picture of utter dismay. He hadn’t expected that Stefan’s father would actually show up.
At that time, they were all just exhausted bodies. How could they possibly compete with Stefan’s father?
Many faces were filled with fear, even the Five Great Governors at that moment could only manage to barely hold on, unable to care for anything else.
Despair filled their hearts. In the face of absolute power, they truly had no recourse.
Jared gritted his teeth, feeling the various forces within churning continuously. Yet, still couldn’t break free from the overwhelming pressure.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a mysterious force erupted between heaven and earth, instantly shattering the oppressive atmosphere.
Everyone let out a long sigh of relief.
The expression on Tito’s face tightened, as involuntarily scanned his surroundings.
At that moment, an elder shrouded in a veil of black mist gradually approached. As the black mist dissipated, Jared was immediately overwhelmed with surprise and joy.
Upon seeing the elderly man, Tito shuddered violently and immediately fell to his knees with a thud.
“Father!” Stefan was taken aback when saw his own father actually kneeling.
“Kneel now!” Tito immediately yanked Stefan down, making kneel as well.
“Greetings, Elder Hadad!”
In the face of Hadad, Tito bowed deeply, daring not to meet its piercing gaze.
However, Hadad passed by Tito without so much as a glance, heading straight toward Jared.
“Mr. Hadad, has your physical body been fully restored?” Upon seeing that Hadad had actually acquired a physical form, Jared asked in delight.
“Hahaha! I owe you one, Jared!” Hadad laughed heartily, patting Jared’s shoulder. “You’ve grown incredibly stronger these past few days…”
“Compared to you, my abilities are hardly worth mentioning, Mr. Hadad,” Jared said modestly.
“l’ve been cultivating for tens of thousands of years. How long have you been at it? When you’ve been cultivating for as long as I have, you’ll surely surpass me!” Hadad was singing praises of Jared.
Onlookers like Corrado couldn’t help but step back at the sight of Hadad. Even though the demon wasn’t emitting any aura, they still felt an uncomfortable sensation, a sense of terror that shook them to their core.
The Five Great Governors watched the appearance of Hadad, their expressions subtly trembling. Especially the governor of the western region, seeing Jared casually hanging out with Hadad, was completely taken aback.
Arthur was already a terrifying presence, and now, another expert of indiscernible prowess had appeared. He couldn’t comprehend just how much support Jared had behind him. Even Ararat, Kishor, and lnfinides, revered beings from the celestial realm, found their breaths quickening at the sight of Hadad.
It was clear that even in the celestial realm, their power was significantly inferior to that of Hadad.
Tito was dumbfounded as listened to Hadad conversing with Jared. Meanwhile, Stefan was trembling, fear-stricken to the point of wetting himself in an instant.
The look of sheer terror on his face left no room for pretentiousness. He could hardly believe that Jared, an Ultimate Realm cultivator, was so familiar with their faction’s Elder Hadad. It also seemed like Hadad was an old acquaintance of Jared.
“Mr. Hadad, it seems like the cultivators from your faction really enjoy showing off, don’t they? If you hadn’t shown up just now, I’m afraid I would have ended up dead.”
Jared cast a glance at the trembling Stefan, offering a faint smile.
Hadad finally gave the father and son pair a cold glance. With a disdainful snort, said, “With such mediocre skills, I wouldn’t dare to claim them as part of my faction. They’re an embarrassment to me… Take care of them both now, so I won’t have to lift a finger…”
The words of Hadad made Tito’s body tremble even more intensely, while Stefan was so terrified that lost control of his bodily functions.
“Mercy, Elder Hadad! Please have mercy on us!” In the throes of desperation, Tito pleaded for mercy with all his might.
“Mr. Hadad, just take out his son, and that’s enough. His son has been too arrogant and has caused the death of many of my people…” Jared didn’t want Four Hell Palace to be annihilated.
If Four Hell Palace could ally with him, could lead its people, along with those from Twilight Imperial City, to the Fire Incineration Sect to rescue the leader of the Divine Smithing Sect. As the leading force in the celestial realm, the Fire Incineration Sect, Jared knew they would undoubtedly be tough to handle.
