A Man Like None Other Chapter 5207

Upon returning to Blackshade Demon Palace, Jared and Flaxseed crossed the cavernous main hall where Lunaria stood waiting. Surprise flickered across face before usual calm returned.

“You have done exactly as I hoped-returned with the magical item unharmed,” Lunaria said, smile cool, almost languid. “Tell me, brave gentlemen, what reward does your valor deserve?”

Jared tossed the glowing demon core. “Forget the rewards. We want only for you to honor your promise, find the truth behind the Flaxseed clan’s annihilation.”

Greed flashed in Lunaria’s eyes as caught the demon core, but it soon vanished. “Naturally,” replied. “I honor every bargain. Yet answers take time. Stay in the palace until I send for you.”

Jared met Flaxseed’s eyes. Both men nodded, patience, they knew, would have to be their sharpest blade. The days that followed slipped into a quiet routine.

Jared immersed himself in cultivation, knitting open wounds and refining the gains won in the Abyss of Fallen Demons. The legacy of the Flaxseed ancestors proved invaluable, his understanding of the charm arts deepened, and his cultivation soared to new heights.

As for Flaxseed, burrowed into the Flaxseed clan’s ancient records and the clan leader token, hunting any line that might whisper how his clan had been erased.

The two stayed at Blackshade Demon Palace, awaiting Lunaria’s summons, unaware that a darker storm was approaching.

Blackshade Demon Palace’s calm felt staged. Lunaria appeared to be honoring promise, refraining from demanding more and even sending healing pills and cultivation resources every day. Yet, excessive courtesy only left Jared more wary than comforted.

His wounds soon healed under the nurturing effects of the Focus Technique. He even used this setback as an opportunity, tempering his spiritual energy to an even purer state, now hovered one step from Wandering Immortal Realm Level Seven.

When wasn’t cultivating, Jared strolled the labyrinthine corridors, appearing aimless while mapping every hidden passage.

One afternoon, while passing an artificial hill in the rear garden, caught muffled conversation coming from behind it, like a secret not meant for other ears.

“My lady, are you truly going to spare those two humans? That demon core is the key to overcoming your bottleneck!” A rasping voice hissed from behind the rocks.

“Patience, will you?” Lunaria’s voice drifted out, clear as moonlight yet carrying a glacial lilt that made the air prickle.

“Those two humans survived the Abyss of Fallen Demons, no ordinary feat. The one called Jared hides depths I cannot yet plumb. Instead of turning them into enemies, we will dangle favors before them for a while…”

“Once I finish tempering this demon core and step into Earthly Immortal Realm Level Four, sweeping them aside will be as effortless as brushing dust from silk.”

The other speaker hesitated, his voice low and uneasy. “But… That brat from the Flaxseed clan is already digging into the annihilation. Should uncover anything…”

“Let him,” Lunaria cut in with a cold huff. “The deed was shrouded in shadow. Even if finds clues, holds no proof. Besides, he’s still dancing on strings we control. Whatever storm stirs will break against my hand and fall flat.”

The attendant bowed deeper. “Several factions around Nine Serpent Mountain are stirring, hoping to claim magical items from the Abyss of Fallen Demons. Shall I send troops to silence them?”

“No need,” Lunaria replied, tone light as drifting ash. “Let them make a scene. Their noise will test those two humans for us. If Jared and his companion crush the intruders, perfect. If they fail and die, they save us the trouble of dirtying our blades.”

The voices receded. From behind the artificial mountain, Jared emerged, eyes narrowed to slits of winter steel. Sure enough, promise to help was only a delaying ruse. She never meant to spare us at all…

He returned to his quarters and quietly relayed every word to Flaxseed.
