“Mr. Lefterov, what’s the plan now? Should we keep sending people after him?” The elder was still reeling from Talcott’s scolding, but he swallowed his frustration and asked in a cautious voice.
“Of course, we have to capture him! If we allow a Demonic Cultivator to roam freely in the northern region, wouldn’t that make a mockery of the Demon Seal Alliance?” Talcott’s expression darkened.
“Understood. I’ll send some of our top experts after him,” the elder said quickly.
“No need,” Talcott interrupted. “I’ll handle it myself. The Ethereal Realm has been getting more chaotic lately… I need to see this for myself.”
At Rock Village, Orion and the others were still waiting. They had expected more Demon Seal Alliance members to show up, eager to put on another show for the villagers. But no matter how long they waited, no one came.
“Mr. Chance, I think they’ve finally realized they don’t stand a chance,” Orion said.
“If they’re not coming to us, we’ll just go to them,” Jared said casually. “You all should split up and wipe out the Demon Seal Alliance’s forces in the northern region.”
“No problem.” Orion nodded. “But what about their forces in other regions?”
“I’ll have others take care of those. You all should move quickly-I still need you for something else later.”
“Got it. Let’s go.”
Orion, Cassian, and the others immediately set out, each heading to different Demon Seal Alliance strongholds across the northern region.
These weren’t just any cultivators-each of them were Top Level Ultimate Realm Level Nine cultivators. Against them, the Demon Seal Alliance members were nothing more than playthings.
Jared watched them leave, a wave of emotion washing over him. Not too long ago, he had been struggling to survive in Rock Village. He had been hunted by the Demon Seal Alliance, constantly forced to hide.
But now, he had the power to erase the Demon Seal Alliance from existence with just a single command. The feeling of holding someone’s life in his hands-it was intoxicating.
Once Orion and the others left, Jared used a communication device to contact Bernard, instructing him to wipe out the Demon Seal Alliance forces in Epea
At the same time, his allies-the Violet Flame Sect, Lunarius Palace, the Blood Spirit Valley, and several other factions-launched coordinated attacks on Demon Seal Alliance strongholds across the five major regions.
Just like that, a war engulfed the celestial realm -all because of a single sentence from Jared.
Yet, amidst all the chaos, Rock Village remained peaceful.
“Jared… Can you really wipe out the Demon Seal Alliance just like that?” Percy approached Jared hesitantly. Ever since he had witnessed the terrifying power of Jared’s companions, he had started treating Jared differently-like a god rather than a friend.
“Of course.” Jared smiled. “Any one of them could single-handedly wipe out the Demon Seal Alliance. I just don’t have the patience to wait.”
“You should train hard too, Percy. I have a feeling you’ll do great things in the future,” he added.
Percy was actually quite intelligent. However, his humble background and the lack of resources in a place like Rock Village made it incredibly challenging for him to cultivate.
Nevertheless, Percy nodded firmly. “I want to be an alchemist! That way, I can provide medicine for everyone in Rock Village!”
“That’s a great goal,” Jared said. “But don’t neglect your cultivation. As for resources, don’t worry-I’ll make sure you have everything you need. Someone will deliver them to you regularly.”
Jared wanted to give Percy all the support he needed to become a competent alchemist.
Even though alchemists were rare and highly regarded in the Ethereal Realm, without sufficient strength, even the most accomplished senior alchemist could still end up being controlled by others.
“Okay!” Percy beamed.
