Perhaps the two individuals were each other’s first love, separated due to various reasons.
Yelena’s mother could never forget Solomon.
Consequently, this emotional torment became her inner demon, leading to a backlash during her cultivation practices, which eventually caused her death.
This kind of cliché storyline… I’ve seen way too many during my time in the mundane world.
Who knows? Yelena might even be the daughter of the governor of the northern region.
As Jared found himself lost in thought, Solomon indeed extracted a drop of blood essence. Subsequently, he gently applied it to the forehead of Yelena.
Accompanied by a flash of red light, the blood essence was astonishingly absorbed by Yelena.
“My daughter… You are my daughter…”
Solomon tightly embraced Yelena, weeping bitterly.
Yelena was rather bewildered, mostly because she had never met her own father, nor did she have any idea who he was.
However, after absorbing the blood essence, Yelena realized that Solomon was her father.
“What’s going on? What on earth is happening?” Yelena asked in a daze.
“It’s a long story. Let’s not get into it now. I’ll explain everything to you later! Tell me. Who has been bullying you?” Solomon looked at Yelena and asked.
“It’s him…” Yelena pointed at Tennyson.
Tennyson swallowed hard, fighting the urge to curse. It was plain as day that they had come to his doorstep to pick a fight, yet now, they were playing the victims.
Solomon looked at Tennyson frostily, a slight frown creasing his brows. “Celestials?”
“Indeed. We are from Celestial Palace.”
Tennyson gave a nod.
Solomon turned to look at Yelena. “My child, how did you manage to get on the bad side of those celestials from Celestial Palace?”
“They were out to kill Mr. Chance, and I had to step in to help!”
Yelena pointed at Jared.
“It’s the guy who hugged you?”
Solomon turned his gaze toward Jared, scrutinizing him carefully.
A moment later, Solomon suddenly laughed. “My daughter has a good eye. This young man might not be extraordinary, but he’s got strength and a solid background. If I’m not mistaken, the person who scared off the governor of the western region was your backer, wasn’t it?”
Jared was taken aback, then stated with a hint of embarrassment, “May I ask how you’re aware of this?”
At that time, Arthur’s mere glance had scared off the governor of the western region, but not many people knew about it. Moreover, Solomon was not there.
“Of course, I knew. The governor of the western region was so scared that he practically wet himself the whole way. I saw his embarrassing state.” Solomon gave a slight smile. “If you had such strong backing, how did you end up getting chased?”
“I do have a backer, but I can’t rely on that all the time. Mr. Sanders advised me to gain more personal experiences. Without it, growth would be difficult,” Jared explained.
“Good, you’ve got spirit. My daughter indeed made the right choice!” Solomon nodded in approval, feeling extremely satisfied.
He then turned to Tennyson and said, “Would you rather end your own life, or should I do it for you?”
“I am from Celestial Palace, you know. Aren’t you, a mere governor? Aren’t you afraid of us?”
Tennyson asked with a slight frown.
“I’m afraid!” declared Solomon.
“If you’re scared, do you dare to lay a hand on me?” Tennyson wore a face of confusion.
“I might fear Celestial Palace, but I certainly don’t fear you. You’re nothing in the grand scheme of Celestial Palace, the most insignificant lord of the Tenth Hall. Who do you think you are? If I killed you, Celestial Palace might not even bother with me. At most, they’d just assign someone else to be the lord of the Tenth Hall. Moreover, with the Heaven and Earth Array currently enveloping the Ethereal Realm, can those supreme beings from Celestial Palace really make it here?”
Solomon gave a cold huff.
No sooner had his words fallen, than he abruptly raised his right hand, sending a terrifying wave of pressure toward Tennyson.
Boom!
Tennyson’s eyes suddenly narrowed as he raised his hand in retaliation. However, he found that the void around him seemed to have come to a standstill as if he was trapped within it.
At that moment, a look of alarm crossed Tennyson’s face.
Upon seeing the situation, Jared did not hesitate to raise his Dragonslayer Sword and join the fray.
He saw this as an opportunity to incapacitate Tennyson. Although he had promised Octavion not to kill Tennyson, he never said anything about not rendering him useless.
As long as Tennyson was incapacitated, he would pose no threat to Jared.
When Tennyson saw Jared advancing fiercely, his pupils contracted. Suddenly, with a furious roar akin to a wild beast, a terrifying surge of energy erupted from within him. This immense force shattered the surrounding space which had been frozen in an instant.
