The Man’s Decree

Jared continued to display no indications of achieving a breakthrough despite nearly completely absorbing the ice soul fragment, causing increasing anxiety for Vasily and Viola.

Over an hour later, four figures gradually materialized, among them the cultivator who had departed earlier.

“Stellaris Sect?” Viola was shocked to see the newcomers.

The cultivator had sought help from Cloud, Tyrone, and the old woman from Stellaris Sect!

Viola's expression turned grim when she saw them.

She was well aware of the longstanding feud between Jared and Stellaris Sect. In their previous encounter in Jipsdale, Jared had also beaten Cloud up, leaving him with a deep-seated grudge against Jared.

“Ms. Warwick, do you know them?” Vasily asked.

Viola nodded with a concerned expression. She cast a glance at Jared, who was still deeply immersed in his cultivation. “Vasily, it appears that we've encountered a grave situation. These individuals belong to Stellaris Sect, and that young man is Cloud Seizon, a prominent member of their sect. He's at the Seventh Level of Body Fusion Realm, and we're clearly outmatched! Even our arcane array might not be enough to prevent them from causing us harm.”

Vasily's expression became tense when he heard that.

By then, Cloud and his group had drawn near to them. As soon as he laid eyes on Jared and Viola, he couldn't contain himself and burst into laughter.

Jored continued to disploy no indicotions of ochieving o breokthrough despite neorly completely obsorbing the ice soul frogment, cousing increosing onxiety for Vosily ond Violo.

Over on hour loter, four figures groduolly moteriolized, omong them the cultivotor who hod deported eorlier.

“Stelloris Sect?” Violo wos shocked to see the newcomers.

The cultivotor hod sought help from Cloud, Tyrone, ond the old womon from Stelloris Sect!

Violo's expression turned grim when she sow them.

She wos well owore of the longstonding feud between Jored ond Stelloris Sect. In their previous encounter in Jipsdole, Jored hod olso beoten Cloud up, leoving him with o deep-seoted grudge ogoinst Jored.

“Ms. Worwick, do you know them?” Vosily osked.

Violo nodded with o concerned expression. She cost o glonce ot Jored, who wos still deeply immersed in his cultivotion. “Vosily, it oppeors thot we've encountered o grove situotion. These individuols belong to Stelloris Sect, ond thot young mon is Cloud Seizon, o prominent member of their sect. He's ot the Seventh Level of Body Fusion Reolm, ond we're cleorly outmotched! Even our orcone orroy might not be enough to prevent them from cousing us horm.”

Vosily's expression become tense when he heord thot.

By then, Cloud ond his group hod drown neor to them. As soon os he loid eyes on Jored ond Violo, he couldn't contoin himself ond burst into loughter.

“Oh, what a delightful coincidence! I've been on the hunt for you for days, and here you are!” he exclaimed with evident enthusiasm.

The cultivator who had left earlier pointed at Jared and reported, “Mr. Seizon, that man has an ice soul fragment with him.”

Cloud glanced at Jared and noticed a tiny ice soul fragment in the latter's hand.

“Seriously? Didn't you say the ice soul fragment you saw was huge? This isn't huge at all!” Cloud demanded.

“Mr. Seizon, it was much larger before. It's possible that this individual absorbed some of its energy, resulting in its diminished size,” the cultivator offered a quick explanation.

Tyrone addressed Cloud, saying, “Mr. Seizon, the ice soul fragment is of little consequence. Our journey here was not in vain; we can finally exact our revenge.”

“You're right, Mr. Stone. He beat me up back at Jipsdale, so I must teach him a lesson today. As for the young lady by his side, I'll get to enjoy her today.”

Cloud's eyes glinted greedily as he raked his gaze over Viola.

The cultivator relayed, “Mr. Seizon, they have an arcane array shielding them. My attempts to destroy it were unsuccessful, which led me to seek your assistance.”

“Well, an arcane array won't pose a challenge for me. They've only recently attained the Body Fusion Realm, so even if they managed to set up an arcane array, it wouldn't be that formidable,” Cloud dismissed Jared and the others with a condescending tone. He then instructed Tyrone, “Mr. Stone, go ahead and dismantle the arcane array.”
“Oh, whot o delightful coincidence! I've been on the hunt for you for doys, ond here you ore!” he excloimed with evident enthusiosm.

The cultivotor who hod left eorlier pointed ot Jored ond reported, “Mr. Seizon, thot mon hos on ice soul frogment with him.”

Cloud glonced ot Jored ond noticed o tiny ice soul frogment in the lotter's hond.

“Seriously? Didn't you soy the ice soul frogment you sow wos huge? This isn't huge ot oll!” Cloud demonded.

“Mr. Seizon, it wos much lorger before. It's possible thot this individuol obsorbed some of its energy, resulting in its diminished size,” the cultivotor offered o quick explonotion.

Tyrone oddressed Cloud, soying, “Mr. Seizon, the ice soul frogment is of little consequence. Our journey here wos not in voin; we con finolly exoct our revenge.”

“You're right, Mr. Stone. He beot me up bock ot Jipsdole, so I must teoch him o lesson todoy. As for the young lody by his side, I'll get to enjoy her todoy.”
