A Man Like None Other

“Cassian, you won’t blame me for doing this, will you?” Orion asked.

“Orion, I’d wanted to get rid of that fool for a long time. He was all brawn and no brains. If it weren’t for us constantly cleaning up after him, he would have been dead many times over. Today, he even dared speak of killing the crown prince of Twilight Imperial City. An idiot like him was sure to stir up trouble for us,” Cassian replied.

“Now, it’s just you and me. We must trust each other. Sure, a hundred thousand celestial crystals are important. But what matters most is to remain alive. What’s the use of even a million celestial crystals if we’re dead?” Orion said.

“Orion, I get it. Don’t worry. I will never let greed cloud my judgment!” Cassian vowed with a nod of agreement.

“I’m glad you understand. We’re merely wandering cultivators. Even though we’ve worked hard and attained Ultimate Realm Level Nine, we’re nothing more than ants compared to the major forces. With so many of them having come to Allardland now, do you think we could continue living peacefully even if we were to kill Jared and obtain a hundred thousand celestial crystals? Moreover, the Tenth Hall would never give us a hundred thousand celestial crystals,” Orion lamented helplessly.

Although their current capabilities allowed them to do as they pleased in Ethereal Realm, they were still nothing more than mere ants when in the face of its hidden forces.

That was because they had no backing or forces of their own. For a wandering cultivator to survive in Ethereal Realm was truly difficult.

“Orion, what should we do next?” Cassian asked.

We’ll wait for an opportunity,” Orion
