Chapter 2651 Being Reasonable
“Enough...” Helius waved his hand, signaling Ebenez to stop talking. Then, he regarded Jared with ahint of approval. “Not bad, young man. You're right. The Octo Ruler is your prize from the duel, so youneed not surrender it. I was merely concerned that the Octo Ruler's power might be too overwhelmingfor you and could lead to unintended backfiring if you try to use it. That's why I suggested that you handit over to me. I wasn't trying to oppress you.”
Helius' good-natured response left everyone dumbfounded. They couldn't fathom why he was sounexpectedly amiable toward Jared.
Even Jared himself was taken aback. He hadn't anticipated Helius' genial response at all.
“Thanks for your concern, Helius, but I know my limits,” Jared replied.
“That's good.” Helius nodded. He then turned to Ebenez and said, “When Hosen returns, have him goto the mountains and reflect on himself for three days. Look at how dreadful Emerald Cauldron Secthas become under his leadership!”
With that, Helius vanished without making any visible moves.
As soon as Helius left, everyone heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Jared in disbelief.
“Mr. Chance, you really scared me just now. How could you even dare to contradict Helius...”
“Yeah, my heart was about to leap out of my chest!”
Sigurd and Zebediah were both amazed at what had transpired.
“I didn't expect Helius to be such a reasonable person. After all, what I said was true, and I didn't lie. Itseems that Helius is much better than some elders around here!” Jared said, glancing at Ebenezpointedly.
Ebenez snorted at him. “Hmph, don't get too cocky yet. Just you wait...”
With that, Ebenez hurriedly left. His face was extremely swollen like he had been stung by dozens ofhornets, and he would only be ridiculed if he stayed any longer.
Ghaylen looked like he had just returned from the brink of death. He was soaked in sweat from head totoe, looking as if all life had been drained from him.
With Zebediah's support, he went back to his residence. Jared returned to his place as well, andEmerald Cauldron Sect soon returned to calm.
Meanwhile, Sigurd actively organized the outer circle disciples to clear the debris and repair thedamaged buildings around Ghaylen's territory.
In his room, Jared carefully inspected the Octo Ruler in his hands.
Even Helius of Emerald Cauldron Sect knew about this item and recognized its tremendous power.Jared wanted to study it closely to uncover the secrets that made the Octo Ruler so formidable.
Infusing a strand of his spiritual sense into the Octo Ruler, Jared discovered an immensely vast spacewithin it.
Deafening roars resounded from within, and various grotesque demon beasts grew agitated uponsensing the intrusion.
These demon beasts were all bound by thick chains and imprisoned inside cages.novelbin
Jared realized that these demon beasts were the ones Bilius had summoned, and each gemstone onthe Octo Ruler corresponded to one of these demon beasts.
However, these creatures were all confined and bound in here. How were they summoned out into theworld?
Continuing his exploration with his spiritual sense, Jared found that each cage housing a demon beastcontained an arcane array.
It dawned on him that what Bilius had summoned wasn't the physical forms of these demon beasts butrather their spirits. Their true bodies remained sealed within the Octo Ruler, so there was no risk ofthese demon beasts disobeying orders.
Having thoroughly investigated the weapon, Jared finally understood that only those with sufficientstrength could summon the demon beasts from the Octo Ruler. Those who were weak might end upgetting themselves devoured by the spirits of these demon beasts!
Additionally, the power of the Octo Ruler came entirely from the sealed demon beasts within. The moreformidable the imprisoned beasts were, the stronger the Octo Ruler would be.
If someone had the ability to capture even more powerful demon beasts, they could replace theexisting ones and make the Octo Ruler even more potent.
“It truly is a remarkable item...” Jared withdrew his spiritual sense as a grin formed on his face.
