The others, too, unsheathed their frost swords one after another.Selma's lips curled into a smirk. "Such fools..."After she finished speaking, an overwhelming aura burst forth from her body. This aura, as intense as a storm, overwhelmed Bianca and the others, leaving them breathless.They couldn't even move a muscle, let alone brandish their weapons.After all, the disparity in their capabilities was too vast. The aura that Selma exuded was simply too overwhelming for them to handle.They couldn't fight beyond their level like Jared.Just as Bianca and the others were gasping for breath, kneeling on the ground, a sudden surge of aura came shooting from behind, providing them instant relief."Ms. Selma, why are you in such a bad mood?" Holden, with a group of cultivators in tow, slowly approached.It was Holden who came to Bianca and her gang's rescue earlier.Selma couldn't help frowning when she saw Holden. "Who are you?""I am the head of the Olsen family, Holden Olsen." Holden spoke politely.Selma scoffed. "I'm surprised the Olsen family dares to meddle with the Mueller family's affairs. Moreover, you're merely a Ninth Level Tribulator, and you dare to challenge me?""Oh, no, I wouldn't. It's just that these young ladies have saved our lives.Therefore, I kindly request you to be magnanimous and show mercy, Ms. Selma." Holden knew he was no match for Selma, nor did he want to engage in a fight with her."What if I insist on taking them with me?" said Selma with a look of contempt in her eyes."If you insist on doing so, you leave me no choice but to intervene. Although I'm no match for you, with so many of us here against you alone, I believe we stand a chance." Holden spoke with a stern expression on his face.Fury flared in Selma's eyes.However, she had to admit Holden was right. If they all attacked at once, she wouldn't be able to hold them off.Yet, she couldn't simply let Bianca and the others go.

Leighton called out when he saw Selma.Selma was overjoyed to see Leighton."Why are you here? What about Jared?" asked Selma."Ms. Selma, Jared has been hiding in a mansion for quite some time. I suspect he's absorbing the legacy within the statue, so I came here to discuss a strategy with you," replied Leighton.novelbinHearing that, Selma instantly turned to look at Bianca and her gang. "Great. We'll capture these holy maidens and use them to force Jared to show himself. Let's see if Jared actually cares about them or not."Meanwhile, Bianca and the others felt a wave of despair washing over them as they saw Leighton appear.

They would've been able to deal with 2'm Selma as long as they joined forces, but now, with Leighton, another Ninth Level Tribulator joining the fight, they wouldn't stand a chance. "I'm taking them with me. Anyone who doesn't want to die should stay away."Selma swept her gaze over Holden and the others.Her threatening words caused numerous cultivators to retreat.After a moment of hesitation, Holden, too, had no choice but to step back.if they intervened, they wouldn't Even if t be able to stop Selma. At that moment, Bianca and the others' hearts sank.Under the imposing pressure of Selma and Leighton, they couldn't do anything to fight back.They were left with no choice but to comply and leave with Selma.Holden watched Bianca and her gang being taken away and gritted his teeth."Let's go, too.
