CHAPTER 2494 HERE YOU ARE
“I think you've gotten yourself into quite the muddle. Since you've saved us, we can't just sit here idly. We will follow you there,” said the Grand Elder of Divine Smithing Sect.
After all, they were still strangers in a foreign realm. If trouble befell them, they could not handle things so easily since they were not back in Ethereal Realm.
All we have to do is follow Jared there and help him sort out his affairs. Jared can then open the portal and send us back to the Ethereal Realm. It's not a bad idea!
The rescued prisoners nodded in agreement. They were also willing to accompany Jared there since they did not have the capabilities to open a portal to Ethereal Realm either.
“Well, that's not a bad idea. When I've sorted out my affairs, I'll send you all back.”
Jared nodded. Right now, he was in dire need of help. Jared was concerned about how hard it was going to be to deal with Evil Heart Sect. Even with Quindon and some others offering assistance from the inside, Jared had no confidence in a confrontation with someone as powerful as Tanner.
Now that the elder of Divine Smithing Sect and some others had chosen to help him, Jared had thus gained a few allies.
However, there was something Jared did not understand. This was a dungeon belonging to Evil Heart Sect. Why was it chock-full of people from Ethereal Realm? How did they even end up here? This was a mystery to Jared.
However, he did not have the time to go deeper in thought. Jared led the elders of Divine Smithing Sect and the other people from Ethereal Realm out of Evil Heart Sect's secret realm and hurried over to Divine Quest Sect's secret realm.
Just as they departed from the secret realm, the people from Ethereal Realm could immediately feel the suppression from the laws of nature. Every one of them had a frown on their face, with some looking quite pained.
Fortunately, after leaving the secret realm of Evil Heart Sect, they quickly arrived at the entrance to Divine Quest Sect's secret realm. As Jared brought his party into the secret realm, Malphas followed closely behind. Given that Jared had yet to remove the imprint from Malphas' mind, the latter could only follow them.
Meanwhile, Skylar had gotten quite impatient from waiting in the Divine Quest Sect's secret realm. “Lord Tanner, is Jared going to show up?” asked Skylar irritably. “We've been waiting for ages now.”
“Don't worry. He'll definitely show up. He has to show up after sorting out his affairs,” replied Tanner mildly.
When Tanner said this, Quindon and the others broke into a cold sweat. Just judging from the way Tanner spoke, he seemed to be familiar with Jared's every move.
Cold sweat also beaded and dripped from the purple-robed emissaries' foreheads. Tanner suddenly turned to look at all six of them and said, “Is it that warm in here?”
“It's not warm...”
Quindon immediately shook his head.
Tanner said nothing, but his lips were curved up in a faint smirk. This only served to make Quindon and the others even more terrified.
Very soon, Jared and his entourage arrived in a frenzy. However, when Jared saw the scene before him, his expression turned grave.
Jared had been wondering why he never encountered many members of Evil Heart Sect in their secret realm earlier. It turned out that they were all whisked away to the secret realm of Divine Quest Sect. There had to be a few hundred of them all neatly lined up in rows.
Standing at the forefront was none other than Tanner, dressed in all black. His very figure seemed to be looming over everyone.
Behind Tanner were the six purple-robed emissaries. Jared stole a glance at them but immediately retracted his gaze after that.
Quindon, who also stood among the Evil Heart Sect members, saw that his daughter was with Jared. He then knew that Jared had saved his family. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
However, Jared had brought Aislin, which made Quindon quite upset. Quindon assumed that Jared was using Aislin to threaten him in case he chose not to stand with Jared later when the time came.
“You've finally arrived, Jared. I've been waiting for ages now,” said Skylar icily.
His eyes were slightly narrowed as he looked at Jared.
Jared only glanced at Skylar but chose to ignore him. His gaze, however, was pinned squarely on Tanner.
To Jared, Tanner was his true adversary. Skylar, on the other hand, was nothing but an ant.
“Where is my girlfriend? What about the others?” asked Jared icily.
Tanner did not respond. He merely stood still with an unfathomable expression on his face.
