Once Talcott stepped out of the main hall behind the young man, he was instantly dumbfounded.
Outside the main hall, twelve black-clad swordsmen stood, each bearing an eerie, ghostlike presence.
Surprisingly, all twelve of these individuals were at least at the Ultimate Realm Level Five or above. Some of them were even in no way inferior to him!
Given their capabilities, if the young man had come to cause trouble, he reckoned his Demon Seal Alliance headquarters would be destroyed!
In front of these twelve cultivators clad in black was a female cultivator dressed in a white silk skirt. She appeared very young, and her features were extraordinarily delicate.
Seeing the young man emerge, the female cultivator went up to meet him. “Octavion, how did it go?”
Octavion Velazquez gently stroked the woman’s hair and said, “Lorelei, let’s head to Allardland and wait for Jared. No matter where he is, he’ll surely return there.”
“Okay!” Lorelei Sheffield nodded in agreement.
“Let’s set off,” Octavion ordered calmly.
“As you wish, Your Highness!” the twelve black-clad cultivators responded in unison.
When Talcott heard that term of address, his mind went completely blank!
Your Highness? He’s a prince of the Tenth Hall? Is he the son of the Tenth Hall’s overlord? Didn’t a prince just leave a while ago? Now there’s another one? Just how many sons does Tennyson have?
After careful observation, Talcott indeed found that Octavion bore many similarities to Decanus, who had visited previously.
Upon discovering the other party’s identity, Talcott became even more cautious. He followed the crowd straight toward Allardland.
On the road, Octavion turned to Talcott and asked, “Have you met this Jared person before?”
“I have!” Talcott quickly nodded in affirmation.
“Tell me about him.”
“Um…”
Talcott hesitated a bit, uncertain of where to start. After a moment, he finally said, “Your Highness, Jared could be considered slightly above average in terms of looks, and he isn’t particularly tall. At first glance, there isn’t anything particularly remarkable about him. However, from what I understand, Jared has quite a few admiring women by his side.”
After hearing this, Octavion shot Talcott a cold glance. “Is this what I wanted to hear?”
Talcott trembled slightly, quickly continuing, “Your Highness, though Jared is only at the Ninth Level Tribulator realm, he’s capable enough to fight beyond his class. However, he still struggles against cultivators from the Ultimate Realm Level Five.”
Hearing Talcott’s words, Octavion’s brows slightly furrowed, “But he killed Tavon…”
“What?”
Talcott was so shocked he almost fell from mid-air!
“Mr. Lorthan was at the Top Level Ultimate Realm Level Nine, so how on earth could Jared have managed to kill him? No matter how exceptional Jared is, it seems absolutely impossible. However, there’s a man named Arthur Sanders behind Jared, and his power is unfathomable. Mr. Lorthan was killed by Mr. Sanders, only to be revived again. Even the governor of Epea took to his heels and fled when he spotted Mr. Sanders!”
Talcott was meticulously narrating the matters concerning Jared.
Octavion didn’t seem overly shocked, as if he had heard about these matters long before.
Otherwise, there was no way he would have ordered Talcott to take him directly to Allardland to wait for Jared.
Jared was in Beast City, but Octavion was unaware of its location. Therefore, if he wanted to find Jared, he had no choice but to wait in Allardland.
“This Jared is definitely not an ordinary man…”
Octavion’s gaze held a trace of bewilderment as he looked off into the distance and spoke.
Talcott didn’t dare to interject. After all, he was clueless about Jared’s actual identity.
Next to Octavion, Lorelei voiced her concerns with a hint of worry, “Octavion, the person behind Jared is so powerful. If we go to confront him now…”
Lorelei glanced at Octavion, but the words that were to follow remained unspoken.
She was well aware that Octavion had willingly risked his life for this task, all so he could be with her and take her away from the Tenth Hall.
However, she couldn’t bear the thought of Octavion losing his life over her!
