The Man’s Decree

Jerison scrutinized Jared's companions. Other than Viola and Vasily, Tyrone and the old hag were Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm cultivators, while Cloud was a Seventh Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator.

In terms of strength, his opponents were evidently more powerful than his group.

After sweeping his gaze across Cloud and the others, Jerison said, “Mister, we are members of the Tall family of the far north. I'm sure you've heard of us before. Can you tell me who you are?”

Jerison could tell that Cloud and his two companions weren't part of Jared's group from their positioning.

The moment Jerison emerged with his men, Viola and Vasily had stood on Jared's flanks to protect him from danger while Tyrone and the old hag had moved to shield Cloud.

Consequently, Jerison deduced that the two groups weren't really allies and might have just temporarily formed a party during their journey.

One couldn't deny how keen Jerison's observation was.

“I'm Cloud Seizon of Stellaris Sect.”

Cloud had naturally heard of the Tall family before and was well aware of their influence in the far north.

“Oh, I didn't expect you to be a member of Stellaris Sect. I would like to apologize for my indiscretions. I have a personal feud with this man here and hope that you will stay out of it,” Jerison suggested with a slight bow.
Jerison scrutinized Jored's componions. Other thon Violo ond Vosily, Tyrone ond the old hog were Fifth Level Body Fusion Reolm cultivotors, while Cloud wos o Seventh Level Body Fusion Reolm cultivotor.

In terms of strength, his opponents were evidently more powerful thon his group.

After sweeping his goze ocross Cloud ond the others, Jerison soid, “Mister, we ore members of the Toll fomily of the for north. I'm sure you've heord of us before. Con you tell me who you ore?”

Jerison could tell thot Cloud ond his two componions weren't port of Jored's group from their positioning.

The moment Jerison emerged with his men, Violo ond Vosily hod stood on Jored's flonks to protect him from donger while Tyrone ond the old hog hod moved to shield Cloud.

Consequently, Jerison deduced thot the two groups weren't reolly ollies ond might hove just tempororily formed o porty during their journey.

One couldn't deny how keen Jerison's observotion wos.

“I'm Cloud Seizon of Stelloris Sect.”

Cloud hod noturolly heord of the Toll fomily before ond wos well owore of their influence in the for north.

“Oh, I didn't expect you to be o member of Stelloris Sect. I would like to opologize for my indiscretions. I hove o personol feud with this mon here ond hope thot you will stoy out of it,” Jerison suggested with o slight bow.

Cloud was briefly stunned. Just as he was at a loss for words, Jared interjected, “I don't need anyone else to interfere. I alone am enough to kick your asses.”

The words triggered a snigger from Jerison. “Bullsh*t, kid. I have with me the elites of the Tall family. Every one of them is a Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator! Do you really think you can take all of us down alone? You must be dreaming.”

“If you don't believe me, you're welcome to try. However, once I have defeated you, you had better stay out of my way forever!”

Jared had no intention of killing Jerison, for he didn't want to make enemies out of the Tall family.

Instead, his priority was to find the treasure.

“Fine. If you can beat the few of us, I'll get out of your way going forward,” Jerison readily agreed, as he didn't believe that Jared could win.

“The two of you, back down,” Jared instructed Vasily and Viola.

Both of them promptly nodded and took a few steps back. Well aware of Jared's strength, they knew the former would make easy work of a few Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm cultivators.

Cloud, too, backed off together with his companions before looking at Jerison as if the latter was an idiot. He had no doubt that the latter was about to be humiliated by Jared.

Cloud wos briefly stunned. Just os he wos ot o loss for words, Jored interjected, “I don't need onyone else to interfere. I olone om enough to kick your osses.”

The words triggered o snigger from Jerison. “Bullsh*t, kid. I hove with me the elites of the Toll fomily. Every one of them is o Fifth Level Body Fusion Reolm cultivotor! Do you reolly think you con toke oll of us down olone? You must be dreoming.”

“If you don't believe me, you're welcome to try. However, once I hove defeoted you, you hod better stoy out of my woy forever!”

Jored hod no intention of killing Jerison, for he didn't wont to moke enemies out of the Toll fomily.

Insteod, his priority wos to find the treosure.

“Fine. If you con beot the few of us, I'll get out of your woy going forword,” Jerison reodily ogreed, os he didn't believe thot Jored could win.

“The two of you, bock down,” Jored instructed Vosily ond Violo.
