Chapter 2693 Breakthrough


    Ms. Vi, Ghaylen, have you made up your minds? If you surrender now and acknowledge me as the


    lord of Emerald Cauldron Sect, I can spare your lives,” Ebenez said while staring at Ghaylen and Vi.


    “You can give up on that idea. Unless I''m dead, I will not admit defeat,” Vi snapped furiously.

    Ebenez snorted, then turned to the numerous disciples and said haughtily, “Disciples of Emerald


    Cauldron Sect, listen well. If you choose to submit to me now, you can still enjoy the perks of being


    disciples of Emerald Cauldron Sect. Conversely, if you decide to resist to the end, only death awaits


    you.”


    Ebenez''s words caused many disciples of Emerald Cauldron Sect to hesitate. Now that Hosen had


    surrendered and fled, was there still a need for them, mere ordinary disciples of the sect, to struggle?


    “I''m willing to surrender. Mr. Erdell is a legitimate elder of Emerald Cauldron Sect, so what difference


    would it make who bes the sect leader!”


    “I''m willing too!”


    “Greetings, Mr. Erdell, the new leader of Emerald Cauldron Sect!”


    Many disciples of Emerald Cauldron Sect had capitted. They voiced their support for Ebenez and


    lined up behind him.


    Seeing that, Ebenez revealed a triumphant expression on his countenance. However, part of Emerald


    Cauldron Sect''s disciples stood firm behind Vi, resolutely supporting her. Among them was Sigurd,


    the eldest disciple of Emerald Cauldron Sect.


    “Sigurd, even your master has given in and fled for his life, yet you still dare to oppose me?” Ebenez


    sternly questioned Sigurd.


    “I refuse to stoop so low as to join your side. Even if I were to die today, I would never yield,” Sigurd


    responded icily.


    Since he had chosen to side with Vi, there was no turning back. Moreover, Jared was not dead.


    Sigurd was hoping Jared would show up at any moment now.


    “Fine. If that''s the case, you can all perish together,” Ebenez scoffed.


    Just as he was about tounch himself forward, the earth abruptly shook.


    Immediately afterward, everyone turned to look in the direction of the medicinal pool in astonishment.


    They noticed that dense dark clouds had gathered in the sky atop the medicinal pool, and lightning


    shed incessantly.


    Rumble!


    A thunderp sounded, and a bolt of lightning struck the medicinal pool, causing the surge of a column


    of water.


    Boom!


    Lightning bolts continued to strike down, each one causing a tumultuous wave.


    “W-What''s going on?” Vi and Ghaylen couldn''t help but exim at the sight of the lightning bolts.


    Ebenez and Faiyar were also staring intently at the unusual phenomenon with furrowed brows.


    “That''s lightning tribtion. Did someone from Emerald Cauldron Sect achieve a breakthrough?


    Judging by how terrifying the lightning tribtion is, that person must be highly formidable!” Faiyar said


    with a grim expression on his face.


    “Who is it? Could it be Helius?”


    Ebenez was bewildered. He wondered who could have achieved a breakthrough at that instant.


    Considering the intensity of the lightning tribtion, that person must be extremely powerful.


    Still, he couldn''t think of any expert in Emerald Cauldron Sect who could be advancing in their


    cultivation level right then.


    Ebenez didn''t rte the ongoing situation with Jared at all. After all, thetter was merely a Manifestor.


    Even if he broke through to Body Fusion Realm, he couldn''t possibly trigger such a fearsome lightning


    tribtion.


    At that moment, Sigurd was the only person who was gazing at that frightening lightning tribtion with


    a look of shock and anticipation in his eyes.


    Others might not be aware of it, but he could guess that the person advancing in their cultivation level


    was Jared.


    Everyone assumed Jared was long dead for having stayed in the medicinal pool for an extended


    period, but Sigurd knew Jared was still alive. It seems that Mr. Chance has absorbed the medicinal


    pool''s energy and made a breakthrough.


    As the spine-chilling lightning tribtion continued striking the earth, a figure soon rose slowly and


    imposingly from therge column of water into the sky.


    The dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the lightning tribtion faded away. Jared hovered in midair,


    his body radiating a dazzling holy light. He resembled a celestial being descending from the heavens.
