CHAPTER 2917 SAVE US
Realization dawned upon Jared as he finally figured out what to do.
He leaped into the air, then pressed his hand on the ice crystal Jerison was holding.
When his spiritual sense penetrated the ice crystal, the image in Jerison's mind unfolded before his eyes.
He witnessed Jerison basking in the warm sunlight and absorbing the energy.
However, the latter had no idea that his own spiritual sense was getting sucked away slowly.
Like strong waves, Jared used his vast consciousness field and endless spiritual sense and began to attack the ice crystal.
Jerison was initially basking under the sunlight but was slapped awake by the waves.
After cutting off the connection between Jerison and the ice crystal, Jared quickly withdrew his own spiritual sense.
“W-What happened? Why did you stop me from cultivating?” Jerison was confused.
Jared revealed, “If I don't stop you now, you'll soon become a mindless zombie.”
“How is that possible? I feel really strong now!” Jerison balled his fists.
“Unleash your spiritual sense and see for yourself.”
At once, Jerison activated his spiritual sense within his consciousness field. The moment he did so, he let out a cry of alarm, and a deep frown marred his features.
“What's going on? Why do I have a splitting headache the moment I try to spread my spiritual sense? It seems that my spiritual sense has become weaker.”
“Now you know why I cut your cultivation short. Get some rest,” Jared said, then proceeded to save the rest.
Jared had the option to disregard the others, but their shared predicament had bound them together in this situation. The greater the number of individuals he rescued, the greater their collective strength would be.
Soon, Jared managed to use his vast spiritual sense energy to save everyone.
However, these people were ungrateful and began reprimanding him.
“What was that? Why did you interrupt us when we were cultivating?” Sunny asked in confusion.
“Hey, what was that? If you don't want to cultivate, you could've stayed aside. Why did you get in our way? What's your motive?” Konce demanded angrily.
“You people don't know what's good for you. Mr. Chance saved you. If it wasn't for Mr. Chance, all of you would have perished!” Vasily said indignantly, seeing that these cultivators whom Jared had rescued were disrespecting him.
“Save us? Is cutting our cultivation short saving us?” Lofton expressed his displeasure.
“Listen, folks, you weren't truly cultivating. You fell into an illusion. Your spiritual sense was being drained away,” Jared said, then told them about the Demonic Cultivators and how the ice crystals had sucked their spiritual sense to activate the ice soul beasts' blood essence to break the seal open.
Yet, these cultivators remained skeptical. They couldn't believe that the Demonic Cultivators would be audacious enough to trap such a large number of them.
“If my words don't convince you, go ahead and test your spiritual sense or attempt to leave the palace. See for yourselves!” Jared said.
Many began checking their spiritual sense and running out of the palace to confirm Jared's words.
It was only when they discovered the impairment of their spiritual senses and the blocked cave exit that they finally accepted Jared's words as the truth.
“W-What should we do?”
“We're in trouble. I can't believe we got tricked by the Demonic Cultivators!”
“How dare the Demonic Cultivators trick us? Once I get out of here, I'll make sure they pay the price!” This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Righteous indignation flitted across the crowd's faces.
Regrettably, there seemed to be no means of escape, and they fell into a heavy silence. Time passed quietly as they waited, their collective hope resting on the possibility that someone might devise a solution.
