CHAPTER 2437 WORLDLY EMOTIONS AND DESIRES
Meanwhile, in the secret realm of Evil Heart Sect, Tanner looked grim as he faced the six purple- robed emissaries before him.
Within a short period, he had lost two purple-robed emissaries, and Jared had invaded two secret realms.
If Jared hadn't rung the Dragon Bell to remind himself after his breakthrough, he might have unintentionally infiltrated all of the Eight Major Secret Realms.
“None of you are to leave this place until the Spiritual Energy Restoration Formation activates. I don't want Jared to defeat any of you. Once the spiritual energy is restored, he will be of no further use to me,” Tanner sternly addressed the six purple-robed emissaries.
The six emissaries exchanged concerned glances, and one of them stepped forward to address Tanner. “Lord Tanner, our families are still in the secret realm. If we stay here, what will Jared do to them?”
“That's right. Our businesses and hard work are all in the secret realm. What will happen to them if we remain here?”
“Can you please bring our families and disciples here? Besides, the spiritual energy will soon recover. If the secret realm collapses then, we can live in the mundane world.”
The purple-robed emissaries, all weighing their options, couldn't bear the thought of abandoning their hard work and families in the other secret realm. None of them wanted to stay in Evil Heart Sect's secret realm, for they couldn't turn a blind eye to their responsibilities and loved ones.
Tanner's expression turned even colder as he fixed a piercing glare upon the purple-robed emissaries. Filled with anger, he sternly reprimanded them, “As cultivators, you should forsake all
worldly attachments and desires. The notion of family ties will only hinder your cultivation progress. Once the spiritual energy is restored and we establish our dominion over the mundane world, I can guide you to the Ethereal Realm, where you can pursue even greater levels of cultivation. In that realm, you will have the potential to live for thousands of years. What use do you have for kinship?”
The purple-robed emissaries fell silent, their lips sealed tightly in submission, as they understood that there was no room for them to voice their concerns in Tanner's presence.
Just then, a crystal orb suspended in front of Tanner emitted a radiant glow. Within moments, it projected a vivid image depicting Jared's current whereabouts inside the secret realm of Divine Quest Sect.
“How dare that b*stard come to the secret realm?” Tanner was taken aback when he saw the scene.
Right then, Skylar stared fixedly at the image of Jared as he walked forward. “Lord Tanner, I implore you. Let me deal with Jared.”
Skylar, fueled by a deep-seated grudge, had dedicated extensive time and effort to overcome Jared. Now that the opportunity for revenge had finally presented itself, Skylar was determined to settle the score once and for all.
Tanner, recognizing the burning anger radiating from Skylar, nodded in acknowledgment and issued a stern reminder, “Bear in mind, Skylar, we cannot afford to kill him just yet. We still need him for the Spiritual Energy Restoration Formation.”
“Understood.” Skylar nodded in understanding and hurried off. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Tanner then redirected his attention to the six purple-robed emissaries and issued his instructions, “Accompany Skylar and ensure that Jared remains confined within the secret realm. This way, he
will be unable to cause disturbances elsewhere.”
He dispatched the purple-robed emissaries to accompany Skylar out of concern that Skylar's anger might overpower him, potentially leading to Jared's demise. Things would get tricky if that were to happen.
The six purple-robed emissaries accepted their assignment and departed. If we can make Jared stay in that secret realm, then we won't have to worry about our families!
However, despite their commitment to the mission, the six purple-robed emissaries couldn't help but feel displeased about having to assist Skylar.
Meanwhile, in the secret realm of Divine Quest Sect, Jared explored every nook and cranny of the realm. Apart from the towering statues that emanated mysterious energy, he couldn't find anything else out of the ordinary. There were no visible traces of arcane arrays either.
How did Divine Quest Sect manage to set up the Spiritual Energy Restoration Formation? Typically, the presence of arcane arrays would leave behind distinct traces and a distinct aura. However, I couldn't detect any despite thoroughly exploring the realm.
“Jared, you should leave as soon as possible. We're doing just fine over here, and we're not in danger either. If people from Evil Heart Sect find out that you're here, they'll definitely want to harm you,” Josephine persuaded, her concern for his safety evident in her words.
