Rueben, at that moment, was listening to the sound of the flowing water, appearing lost and distracted.


    He had forgotten to absorb the aura from the Holy Pond.


    Just as Rueben was feeling lost and indecisive, a figure slowly emerged.


    When Rueben saw Jared’s figure, he waspletely surprised.


    He realized that he didn’t know this person at all, and it seemed that they weren’t from the Henningsen


    family either.


    “Who are you? How did you manage to intrude into our family’s Holy Pond?” Rueben asked Jared.


    Upon seeing Rueben, Jared was slightly surprised. He had assumed that the young man had already


    reached the bottom of the pond, but to his surprise, Rueben hadn’t reached that point yet.


    Just as Jared was about to speak, his eyes were instantly drawn to the fire sacred bead in Rueben’s


    hand. In an instant, Jared understood why Rueben was able to venture deep into the Holy Pond. He


    has a treasure in his hand.


    In his mind, Faiyar excitedly said to Jared, “Mr. Chance, that is the fire sacred bead, a valuable


    treasure from the Inferno Devil. With this fire sacred bead, the demonic fire within you might


    significantly enhance. I truly didn’t expect that the fire sacred bead of the Inferno Devil would actually


    end up in this guy’s hands!”


    As a Demonic Cultivator of the Inferno Devil lineage, Faiyar naturally recognized the fire sacred bead.


    Jared’s eyes lit up when he heard that it was the Inferno Devil’s valuable treasure. He finally


    understood why the Henningsen family had Demonic Cultivators from the Inferno Devil lineage. They


    must havee for the fire sacred bead.


    “It seems that the Inferno Devil also wanted to collude with the Demon Seal Alliance,” Jared said with a


    coldugh.


    Faiyar analyzed, saying, “For so many years, the Inferno Devil resided in the far north. You must


    understand that the frigidnd is the most challenging ce for our Inferno Devil lineage to cultivate its


    powers. However, in order to evade capture and assassination, the Inferno Devil had always hidden in


    the far north, thus remaining safe and sound. Looking back, it seems that the Inferno Devil wanted to


    coborate with the Demon Seal Alliance and leave the far north.”


    Although Faiyar was not particrly powerful, he was quite knowledgeable about the affairs of the


    Inferno Devil lineage.


    “You’re absolutely right,” he said. “The Demon Seal Alliance’s influence now spans all across the


    Ethereal Realm. It’s truly their time to shine. It’s only natural that the Inferno Devil would want to


    coborate with them.” Jared nodded in agreement.


    While Jared was engaged in conversation with Faiyar, Rueben was still eyeing Jared with suspicion.


    He couldn’tprehend how Jared had managed to arrive there, and moreover, Jared was surrounded


    by mes.


    Rueben curiously asked Jared, “Who exactly are you? Why did you enter my family’s Holy Pond? Do


    you also possess a fire sacred bead capable of warding off the severe cold?”


    This guy didn’t have the slightest suspicion that Jared was hostile towards him.


    He continued to ask questions, unaware of the need to flee.


    Upon hearing Rueben’s questions, Jared quickly nodded and said, “I am the eldest disciple of the


    Inferno Devil, and I came to the Holy Pond specifically to find you. The fire sacred bead in your hand


    has some ws, so I was worried that you wouldn’t be able to withstand the frost energy of the Holy


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    Pond if you took it to the bottom. That’s why I specifically brought over a new fire sacred bead.”


    With a wave of Jared’s hand, a pulsating me enveloped a spherical object.


    In reality, that was merely an object transformed by Jared using demonic fire. It was far from being any


    sort of fire sacred bead.


    Upon hearing Jared dere himself as the eldest disciple of the Inferno Devil, Rueben didn’t have the


    slightest doubt.


    After all, he knew that the Holy Pond was personally guarded by his father. It was impossible for


    ordinary people to gain entry into the Holy Pond.


    Furthermore, few individuals were aware that the Inferno Devil lineage’s Demonic Cultivators had


    dispatched a defective fire sacred bead.


    Upon hearing Jared’s statement, Rueben naturally harbored no suspicions.


    “No wonder I sensed a coldness upon my arrival, which is why I refrained from delving deeper. It


    appears that this fire sacred bead is wed.” Rueben nced at the fire sacred bead in his possession,


    disying a strong sense of revulsion.


    “Mr. Henningsen, shall we proceed with the exchange of the fire sacred bead now? By doing so, I can


    return and fulfill my assignment.” Jared approached Rueben slowly.
