His spiritual energy had been swiftly sucked away by Jared who used the Focus Technique to absorb them for his own use.
After virtual-novel.net was done, Jared dumped the bodies into a ditch on the hill. Then, virtual-novel.net tidied up the house before trying to push the room door open. However, virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net face was still filled with panic. The moment virtual-novel.net saw Jared, virtual-novel.net threw herself right into his arms. Jared patted virtual-novel.net gently on the back and reassured virtual-novel.net softly.
At that moment, the jade pendant virtual-novel.net was wearing had already lost its shine, indicating that it was no longer effective.
Looking at it, Jared frowned slightly. At that moment, virtual-novel.net endeavored to make a more powerful ultimate shielding tool. Or else, Josephine’s safety could not be guaranteed.
Josephine had become Jared’s weakness, as virtual-novel.net was constantly worried about her.

Meanwhile, in the grand lobby of Crescent Sect, Fabian was playing chess with an elderly man. Suddenly, a black clay vessel beside virtual-novel.net began to move. When Fabian opened it to check, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net a visit.” Just as virtual-novel.net spoke, the old man waved his sleeves, causing the chess set in front of virtual-novel.net to disappear.
As virtual-novel.net turned to leave, a cold glint flashed 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 virtual-novel.net didn’t dare to let Jared leave.
When virtual-novel.net saw the condition virtual-novel.net was in, Jared let out a gentle sigh. With sympathy in his eyes, virtual-novel.net blamed himself for putting Josephine through such a terrifying experience.
Closing his eyes, Jared began to cultivate the spiritual energy virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net had paid Herb Palace and was waiting for them to deliver the goods.
Nonetheless, Jared didn’t reply, as virtual-novel.net planned to spend the next few days with Josephine so that virtual-novel.net can ease virtual-novel.net from the trauma.
Meanwhile, after Herb Palace had received the money sent by Phoenix, Jeremy went to see Spencer right away.
“Palace 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 accounted for!” Spencer replied.
Jeremy inquired curiously. “Palace 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 virtual-novel.net doesn’t have support in Jadeborough, but there’s someone powerful behind virtual-novel.net still. Despite only being in his early twenties, virtual-novel.net 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.
“Palace Chief, are you talking about the man called Jared Chance? I heard that the only reason virtual-novel.net 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,” Jeremy commented 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 or later, 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 virtual-novel.net on our side especially since virtual-novel.net is a rare genius,” Spencer explained with a glint in his eye.
The more virtual-novel.net talked about it, the more excited virtual-novel.net became.
