Female Novel
Chapter 2600 Convinced
With Jared's current strength, it was indeed slightly difficult for him to annihilate Emerald CauldronSect, and even if he did, he wouldn't actually benefit in any way.novelbin
However, if he could somehow bring Emerald Cauldron Sect under his control and, moreimportantly, take over the sect's abundant resources, he could use those resources to breakthrough Manifestor Level and attain the Body Fusion Realm. In doing so, he wouldn't have to keephiding in the small mountain village.
By then, Jared could even put Emerald Cauldron Sect's influence to good use to locate Josephine,Feenix, and the others.
Furthermore, once he had sufficient power, he could even help Yuven unify the three kings and fourarchons. With that, Jared would be able to command almost the entire beast race, making it mucheasier to expand his influence in Ethereal Realm.
Sensing Jared's hesitation, Sigurd felt hopeful. He hurriedly added in excitement, “If you spare me,I'll swear loyalty to you and obey all your orders. I know you don't trust me. I can surrender a strandof my bodily spirit. If I show any disloyalty, you can kill me anytime.”
Sigurd continued to up the stakes, afraid he wouldn't be able to persuade Jared.
He was genuinely frightened and utterly terrified. Looking at Francois, whose life barely hung by athread, Sigurd felt fear creeping into his heart.
“How do you know your master will accept me after I've killed Francois? Besides, there is someconflict between your master and me. He had to kneel before me previously.”
Jared recounted what had happened between him and Hosen.
Sigurd was utterly astounded to hear his master had previously groveled at Jared's feet.
Nevertheless, he swiftly replied, “My master is particularly greedy. He wanted us to bring you backalive because he must be coveting your magical items. You can temporarily hand over the magicalitems to him, and I will sing your praises. As for Francois' death, my master won't mind. When Ibecome the leader of Emerald Cauldron Sect, those magical items will be returned to you.”
Sigurd was undoubtedly a quick thinker, ready to go to any lengths to save his own life.
Jared was indeed tempted after listening to Sigurd's suggestions. He hesitated for a few momentsbefore suddenly reaching out and slapping Sigurd's head.
However, he wasn't trying to kill Sigurd. Instead, he extracted a strand of Sigurd's bodily spirit andplaced it into his vast consciousness field.
From then on, if Sigurd ever disobeyed him, he could easily do away with Sigurd's bodily spirit.
Seeing Jared had taken a strand of his bodily spirit, Sigurd immediately sighed in relief. He knewJared had decided to spare him.
As expected, after absorbing Sigurd's bodily spirit, Jared cut the ropes binding Sigurd with a waveof his hand and released the man.
“Your limbs are broken. Stay here to heal for a few days. I can help you recover. After that, we'll goto Emerald Cauldron Sect together,” Jared said to Sigurd.
“I'll follow your arrangements, Mr. Chance,” Sigurd replied subserviently.
Still, Jared had to explain the circumstances to Antonio and the others for releasing Sigurd.
“Mr. Antonio, Sigurd—”
Jared wanted to explain to Antonio that Sigurd could be useful to him, but before he could finish hissentence, Antonio interjected, “Jared, we understand your intentions. It's fine. Besides, Sigurd neverkilled any of our villagers in person. You don't need to feel guilty. It's sufficient that Francois dies.Besides, the main force of Cyan Village has been wiped out by you. In a few days, I'll bring peopleto Cyan Village and move all their resources back here.”
Seeing how magnanimously Antonio reacted, Jared could only express his gratitude.
Subsequently, Jared prepared some jet melding cream and applied the cream on Sigurd's limbs tohasten the latter's recovery.
