Rumble…
Suddenly, everyone felt a series of terrifying shockwaves erupting from the center, causing all to reel back.
Tennyson’s apparition exploded, transforming into a series of shockwaves.
Jared was also forced to continually retreat, his body feeling as if it were being pushed back by a massive mountain!
Upon seeing the situation, Yelena continuously used her magic to halt Jared’s movements. By now, she was already drenched in cold sweat.
The moment Jared managed to steady himself, he swung the Dragonslayer Sword in his hand once more.
Bang!
The sword’s light shattered, and once again, Jared was sent flying backward. Even with all his might, he was unable to defeat Tennyson!
The moment Jared was sent flying, he was enveloped by a gentle force that instantly stabilized his body.
Jared knew this was Yelena’s doing.
If it hadn’t been for Yelena’s assistance, Jared would have probably not lasted this long in the fight against Tennyson!
Tennyson’s expression was grave, the earlier disdain nowhere to be found. His right hand was severely cracked, with fresh blood continuously gushing out!
Tennyson cast a cold glance toward Yelena, his gaze filled with disgust and murderous intent.
Had it not been for the assistance of this woman by his side, perhaps Jared would have lost long ago!
“What exactly is your relationship with Jared? Why are you helping him so much?” Tennyson asked Yelena.
Yelena gave a slight smile. “He provides the funds while I risk my life-that’s the nature of our relationship!”
“He hired you with money?”
Tennyson was taken aback for a moment, then quickly glanced at the others and asked, “And all of you too?”
The others didn’t speak, but they all nodded.
Who among them hadn’t taken Jared’s celestial crystals?
“How much resources did Jared expend to convince you to come after the Tenth Hall?” Tennyson asked.
He was genuinely curious just how substantial the benefits were that made these people dare to risk opposing his Tenth Hall!
“Ten thousand celestial crystals…” Jaxon stated.
“Ten thousand celestial crystals?” Tennyson was briefly stunned, then he burst out laughing.
“Hilarious! Are ten thousand celestial crystals really enough to make you risk your lives for him? I can offer each of you twenty thousand celestial crystals, and all you have to do is leave the Tenth Hall. The celestial crystals will be transferred to you immediately!”
Upon hearing those words, everyone, including Orion, was shocked.
“Stop trying to sow discord. No matter what you offer, it’s pointless. We could never just abandon Jared!”
Fraser knew that Tennyson was using celestial crystals to dissolve their unity. Thus, he quickly spoke up!
Since Fraser thought of Jared as his brother-in-law, there was no way he would leave just for twenty thousand celestial crystals!
Tennyson didn’t pay any attention to Fraser. Instead, his gaze landed on Yelena. “Think about it. As long as you stop helping Jared, I’ll give you twenty thousand celestial crystals right away. If you help me, I’ll give you thirty thousand…”
Tennyson knew that the presence of Yelena, an array master, indeed affected his performance.
Jared cast a glance at Yelena. He, too, was curious about what choice Yelena would make.
After all, they hadn’t known each other for long. Their union was merely a result of mutual benefits!
“I’m a person of principles. Since I’ve accepted Mr. Chance’s celestial crystals, I am obligated to help him through and through!” Yelena said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Jared was instantly filled with gratitude toward Yelena. He gave her a thumbs up and said, “That’s fantastic, Ms. Hans…”
Tennyson furrowed his brows, his teeth grinding audibly in frustration.
“Lord of the Tenth Hall, is what you’re saying true?” At that moment, the three black-robed cultivators directed their question toward Tennyson.
“Of course. I’ve always been a man of my word. As long as you don’t assist Jared and leave the Tenth Hall, I will instantly deliver the twenty thousand celestial crystals to you!” Tennyson assured them confidently.
“Didn’t you say thirty thousand just now?” one of them queried.
“That’s only if you help me kill Jared,” said Tennyson.
“Give us the celestial crystals first, then we’ll take action,” one of the figures cloaked in black instructed.
