His spiritual energy had been swiftly sucked away by Jared who used the focus Technique to absorb


    them for his own use.


    After he was done, Jared dumped the bodies into a ditch on the hill.


    Then, he tidied up the house before trying to push the room door open. However, he noticed that it was


    still locked from the inside.


    Jared knocked and shouted, “Josephine, it’s me. I’m fine!”


    When Josephine opened the door, her face was still filled with panic. The moment she saw Jared, she


    threw herself right into his arms.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Jared patted her gently on the back and reassured her softly.


    At that moment, the jade pendant she was wearing had already lost its shine, indicating that it was no


    longer effective.


    Looking at it, Jared frowned slightly. At that moment, he endeavored to make a more powerful ultimate


    shielding tool. Or else, Josephine’s safety could not be guaranteed.


    Josephine had be Jared’s weakness, as he was constantly worried about her.


    Meanwhile, in the grand lobby of Crescent Sect, Fabian was ying chess with an elderly man.


    Suddenly, a ck y vessel beside him began to move. When Fabian opened it to check, he noticed


    that two parasites were dead and were being devoured by the other parasites.


    “It seems that I have underestimated him.”


    Fabian furrowed his brows.


    “What’s wrong? Are Darkwing and Dreadwing dead?” the old man asked.


    With a grim expression, Fabian nodded in silence.


    “It seems that we old men need to pay him a visit.” Just as he spoke, the old man waved his sleeves,


    causing the chess set in front of him to disappear.


    As he turned to leave, a cold glint shed in Fabian’s eye.


    Meanwhile, Josephine had already fallen into a deep sleep at Dragon Bay. With one hand


    gripping Jared tightly, it was evident that she didn’t dare to let Jared leave.


    When he saw the condition she was in, Jared let out a gentle sigh. With sympathy in his eyes, he med


    himself for putting Josephine through such a terrifying experience.


    Closing his eyes, Jared began to cultivate the spiritual energy he had absorbed from Dreadwing and


    Darkwing. Soon, a faint white mist began to form over his head. Once it took the shape of a vortex, it


    began to gush rapidly into Jared’s body.


    The next day morning, Phoenix sent a message informing Jared that she had paid Herb Pce and was


    waiting for them to deliver the goods.


    Nheless, Jared didn’t reply, as he nned to spend the next few days with Josephine so that he can


    ease her from the trauma.


    Meanwhile, after Herb Pce had received the money sent by Phoenix, Jeremy went to see Spencer


    right away.


    “Pce Chief, we have received the money. Should we send over the goods?” Jeremy asked.


    “Of course, we should. Furthermore, we have to make sure that everything is ounted for!” Spencer


    replied.


    Jeremy inquired curiously. “Pce Chief, why do we have to do that? Zachariah is already dead, but


    Phoenix is still using the Jantz family’s name to deal with us. Therefore, why should we send them the


    goods? On top of that, Phoenix doesn’t have a patron in Jadeborough.”


    “It’s true that she doesn’t have support in Jadeborough, but there’s someone powerful behind her still.


    Despite only being in his early twenties, he was able to kill both Zachariah and Venicus of Crescent Sect.


    Don’t you think he’s a genius?” Spencer replied with a slight grin.


    “Pce Chief, are you talking about the man called Jared Chance? I heard that the only reason he was


    able to kill Zachariah was that Zachariah was worn down after battling Bane and Phoenix. Hence, Jared


    simply took advantage of his weak martial energy,” Jeremymented with a mocking tone.


    After all, there was no way someone in their twenties had enough time to cultivate themselves to the


    level of an Internal Energy Grandmaster.


    “What about Venicus of Crescent Sect? Moreover, Jared had also killed Zedekiah who was sent by them


    too. Remember, our enemy’s enemy is our friend. Sooner orter, we will have a showdown with


    Crescent Sect. Now that there’s so much bad blood between Jared and them, we must try to get him on


    our side especially since he is a rare genius,” Spencer exined with a glint in his eye.


    The more he talked about it, the more excited he became.
