“If you ever need to, sir, feel free to enter the tower to cultivate. After all, we’ve met through fate, and you even brought me to such a great place,” Jared said with a smile.
Madman immediately got excited when heard this. He grabbed Jared and dropped to his knees. “Heaven above, earth below, today I and… What’s your name?”
“I’m Jared Chance,” Jared replied, completely bewildered.
“Today I and Jared became sworn brothers. We will share blessings and endure hardships together. We do not ask to be born in the same year, month, or day, but we do seek…”
“Sir, that’s enough!” Jared quickly pulled Madman to his feet.
He was still young and had a long life ahead. Who knew how many years Madman had already lived?
Jared definitely didn’t want to die on the same day as him!
“Now that we’re sworn brothers, why call me ‘sir’? That’s way too formal. From now on, we’ll call each other brothers,” Madman said, cupping his fists toward Jared.
After Madman finished speaking, turned to Jared and said politely, “Jared, my elder brother.”
“Huh?” Jared was taken aback for a moment.
How did I become his elder brother?
He’s probably so much older than me. This isn’t it…
“You are stronger than me, so naturally, you’re the eldest. Please accept my respect.” As spoke, Madman knelt down before Jared again.
Jared hurried to stop him. “No, sir…”
“Jared, my elder brother, won’t you acknowledge me? If you won’t acknowledge me, I won’t get up,” Madman said seriously, still kneeling.
“No, I do, I do. Just get up already,” Jared said helplessly.
“Jared, my elder brother!” Madman called out.
“Madman, get up already!” Jared had no choice but to call that.
Only then did Madman cheerfully rise to his feet. “Jared, if you ever need anything, just give the word. I still have some influence in Rhino City. Don’t be fooled just because I’ve stayed in the purgatory for hundreds of years. When it comes to the name ‘Madman’, there’s no one in the city who hasn’t heard of it.”
“Okay, I’ll be leaving this place first,” Jared said with a nod.
Maceo, who had been watching everything through the bronze mirror, was utterly impressed by how Madman was able to adapt to different circumstances.
That guy actually knelt to Jared and called himself his little brother…
“Hmph, spineless fool. Just to get access to someone’s magical item, went and acknowledged an elder brother.” Maceo snorted coldly, then shouted, “Someone! Prepare the teleportation array. I’m heading to the purgatory to greet my elder brother!”
After seeing Jared’s Pentacarna Tower, Maceo no longer cared about subduing Jared. Now, all could think about was whether Jared would accept as a little brother too.
Even if could only spend a year or two inside that tower, it would still be worth a hundred years of cultivation.
At that moment, outside the purgatory, Eason had been waiting for Jared anxiously. He was worried something might have happened to Jared inside. After all, Jared was only in the Immortal Realm and had been in there for quite a while now.
Just as Eason was getting increasingly anxious, a flash of white light suddenly flared up in front of the purgatory.
A moment later, Maceo appeared within the white light, accompanied by more than a dozen guards.
The purgatory’s guards and the woman in charge quickly rushed over and knelt before Maceo.
“Lord, please punish us for not knowing that you’ll be arriving!” the lady said, body trembling.
The city lord hadn’t visited in many years. The purgatory was too far from the city lord mansion, and though there was a Teleportation Array, it consumed a large amount of resources. Maceo rarely came here.
His sudden appearance had everyone on edge. No one knew what was going on.
Eason was also slightly surprised to see Maceo. He couldn’t understand why the city lord had suddenly come here.
“Has the person undergoing the trial in the purgatory come out yet?” Maceo asked the woman in charge.
