Chapter 3005After hearing Jagoan’s explanation, no one could muster a word of protest.
Now, all they could do was accept Jagoan’s plan. After all, Jagoan was the only one who had
encountered the elder of the Archaic Body cultivators. Furthermore, no one else had any better ideas. If
they didn’t unite now, their chances of survival would diminish even more rapidly.
“We’ll go along with your plan, Jagoan.”
Numerous cultivators placed their hopes on Jagoan.
Jagoan then turned his attention to Cameron. If Cameron disagreed with his plan and chose to go their
separate ways, they would be vulnerable to the impending pursuit by the Five Slayers.
Their sole hope of resisting the Five Slayers rested in joining forces. Since the elderly man dared not
leave the altar, he would almost certainly dispatch the Five Slayers to chase them down.
“We’ll do as you say. There aren’t any better options now,” Cameron agreed with a nod. With a mutual
understanding, Jagoan became their leader, and they all agreed to follow his orders.
“Then let’s go. It’s not wise to linger here any longer. I’m certain the Five Slayers are closing in on us,
and we can’t afford a direct confrontation with them just yet.” With that, Jagoan took the lead, and the
group followed as they departed.
Additionally, they had just expended a considerable amount of energy. If the Five Slayers were to catch
up with them now, even as an alliance, they would still be at a disadvantage. What they urgently needed
at that moment was some time to rest and recuperate.
Not long after Jagoan’s group had departed, Typhon and his companions arrived at the location. After
assessing the area, Typhon fixed his gaze in a particular direction.“Typhon, are we really going to listen to that old man and keep pursuing those guys? Why don’t we seize
this opportunity to escape instead? This place doesn’t seem safe,” Phaethon proposed.
“Yes, I agree. This place doesn’t feel safe, and I have this gnawing, uneasy feeling,” Woodley quickly
chimed in.
“Quiet down! We’re not chasing those people for the sake of that old man, it’s for our own survival. If we
let these individuals escape and reveal the secrets of the Demon Seal Alliance to the world, do you
honestly think our leader will spare us?”
“Remember how the cultivators of the Ethereal Realm despise those who harbor demons and conspire
to resurrect the glory of the race using demons. It’s not only the cultivators; even the beast race will turn
against us if they uncover our intentions. The reason our alliance has gained strength is because we
pledged to eliminate the demons. If the truth becomes known, how many of our members will desert the
Demon Seal Alliance and even become our adversaries? Have you ever considered that?” Typhon
snapped.
Hearing Typhon’s words, a few of them finally grasped the gravity of the situation. It was true; the
revelation would be staggering to all.
“Then let’s hurry. We can’t let any of them escape,” Phaethon anxiously cried out. “But which direction do
we head in?”
The Five Slayers had reached a fork in the path and were unable to determine which direction Jagoan’s
group had taken.
“We’ll split into groups, but be cautious and don’t act recklessly once you find them. Inform the others of
your location,” Typhon instructed.The others nodded in agreement. Typhon then led Phaethon in one direction, while the rest of the group
went the opposite way.
As Typhon and his group pursued Jagoan’s party, Jagoan was diligently guiding his companions in their
escape.
Before long, two silhouettes were rapidly approaching them, unmistakably Typhon and Phaethon.
novelbinWhen Typhon and Phaethon spotted Jagoan and the others up ahead, they slowed their pace.
“Phaethon, quick, send our location to the others,” Typhon commanded. Phaethon nodded and conjured
a burst of flames on the ground, simultaneously murmuring an incantation under his breath.
Observing that Jagoan’s group showed no intention of slowing down, Typhon decided to intervene and
impede them.
