Jemima’s gaze was darkened and sharp, as was set on protecting Jared, standing guard in front of him. However, gently pushed away.
Saleto’s gaze fell upon Jared, showing a hint of surprise. He hadn’t expected Jared to be so young.
“Are you Jared?” Saleto asked.
“That’s right!” Jared nodded. “And who might you be?”
“The overlord of Celestial Palace’s Seventh Hall, Saleto. I’ve come to meet you today,” Saleto responded.
Jared glanced up at Saleto, showing no signs of fear. Instead, a hint of an elusive smirk played on his lips. “What an honor it is to have the overlord of Celestial Palace’s Seventh Hall come to see me…”
His tone was casual, even teasing, which caused Saleto’s pupils to slightly contract.
Although Jared’s aura seemed weak, had an undeniable aura of someone who had been through life-and-death situations. His calm and composed demeanor was something not commonly found in ordinary cultivators.
“Are you hurt?” Saleto asked.
Jared casually nodded, not bothering to hide anything. “I just took out a few level three cultivators. They were asking for it, rubbing me the wrong way…”
Saleto was taken aback. He then scoffed. “Are you bragging? Every practitioner in level three is at least a Wandering Immortal Realm Level Seven. How could you take them down?”
In Saleto’s eyes, Jared was merely a Wandering Immortal Realm Level Four.
How could possibly have killed several level three cultivators?
It’s clear that he‘s just bragging, wanting to intimidate me!
“Bragging?” With a light chuckle, Jared took two steps forward.
The residual spiritual energy within suddenly erupted. Although It was not at its peak, it carried a sharp, murderous intent. “All I know is anyone who stands in my way deserves to die. Did you come here today to test my sword skills or to hear me reason, Mr. Saleto?”
His words were as sharp as a blade, leaving Saleto momentarily stunned by his imposing aura.
Seeing this, Saleto was puzzled.
Jared’s aura is clearly waning, so why are his eyes so fierce?
Could be hiding something up his sleeve?
“I was simply following the overlord of Celestial Palace’s Fourth Hall’s orders to come and see what kind of person could possibly make the Eighth Hall betray us,” Saleto said.
“Have you seen enough? Can you leave now?” Jared asked.
“Leave?” Saleto quirked a smile. “And what if I don’t? What will you do? Are you going to kill me?” Saleto’s eyes were filled with mockery and disdain.
Even if Jared has any tricks up his sleeve, being just a Wandering Immortal Realm Level Four, he’s hardly a concern!
“Is killing you that difficult?” Jared chuckled.
Suddenly, lifted his hand, and from the Storage Ring, flung out three bloody heads. They rolled on the ground, stopping right at Saleto’s feet.
Their eyes were wide open in shock, faces frozen in terror.
Astonishingly, they were the three renowned Wandering Immortal Realm Level Nine experts from level three.
As Saleto lowered his gaze, his pupils abruptly contracted, his whole body violently shuddering. Even his voice was trembling as exclaimed, “They… They are Lefwald from Destiny Sect, Orestes, the Barbaric King, from Barbaric Clan, and Cordelia from Bloodshadow Palace! How… How could they have died at your hands?”
These three were notorious in level three, each possessing the formidable strength of a Wandering Immortal Realm Level Nine. Even he was no match for their combined forces. Yet, their heads had been chopped off by Jared.
Jared wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his tone casual yet powerful. “They wanted to kill me, so I killed them. Mr. Saleto, how do you think you compare to them?”
Upon witnessing the undisguised murderous intent in Jared’s eyes and recalling the fate of those three, Saleto felt a chill down his spine.
Though was at the Top Level Wandering Immortal Realm, facing Jared, who had the power to slay three Wandering Immortal Realm Level Nine experts, had long since lost his confidence.
“You…” He stumbled back a step, forcing a calm demeanor as declared, “Well, well, Jared! I’ll be sure to report today’s events truthfully to Celestial Palace!”
Having said that, didn’t dare to linger any longer. He turned into a streak of light and hastily fled from the Eighth Hall.
When Jared saw that had successfully misled Saleto, a wave of relief washed over him, however, all of a sudden, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
