Upon seeing Keiran fleeing, Jared immediately sprang into action, chasing after him.
“How dare you? The inner court isn’t a place you can just waltz into.”
Furious, Yuliya stepped forward, effectively stopping Jared in his tracks. Jared’s brows furrowed as he pointed his Dragonslayer Sword toward Yuliya. “Step aside, or face death…”
Jared radiated a murderous intent, his gaze chillingly terrifying.
It seemed like in just a fleeting moment, he could end Yuliya’s life.
Yuliya felt the terrifying murderous intent emanating from Jared, causing her to freeze in shock. Her body even started to tremble slightly.
Upon seeing Yuliya’s state, Jared chose not to say anything. Instead, he passed by her and pursued Keiran.
This time, Yuliya didn’t give chase. She had this gut feeling that if she did, Jared would indeed kill her.
Upon seeing Jared catching up, Keiran was internally consumed by panic.
His strength was steadily declining at that time because he had completely exhausted his blood essence from within.
If Jared were to catch up with him, Jared could easily slay him with a single stroke of his sword.
“Who’s there? Who dares to intrude into the inner court of Lunarius Palace?”
Just as Keiran was about to reach the inner court of Lunarius Palace, suddenly, two inner court disciples from within the palace blocked his path.
“Make way! I’m Ms. Mueller’s nephew. I have a token!” In haste, Keiran presented his token. “I came to look for my aunt…”
Upon seeing the token, the two inner court disciples could only step aside, allowing Keiran to enter the inner court of Lunarius Palace.
As soon as he stepped through the inner court, Keiran began to shout, “Aunt Selma, help! Save me!”
This left many female cultivators from Lunarius Palace looking at him with faces full of surprise.
At this moment, Jared had already reached the inner court of Lunarius Palace. Two disciples stationed at the gate stopped him, sternly questioning, “Who are you? You are not allowed to barge into the inner court of the palace!”
“Move away. I don’t want to hurt you!” Jared said with a chillingly cold expression.
An inner court disciple glared furiously at Jared and roared, “How audacious! A mere Third Level Tribulator daring to spout such reckless words!”
They were all Sixth Level Tribulators, yet Jared had the audacity to speak to them like that.
Jared didn’t utter another word. Instead, he let his Dragonslayer Sword do the talking with a swift strike.
Roar!
The sword energy surged like a dragon, roaring incessantly as it charged straight toward the two unsuspecting disciples.
At this point, both of the inner court disciples were completely taken aback.
“C-Could this be the sword energy released by a Third Level Tribulator?”
“It’s terrifying! Hide quickly…”
The two inner court disciples swiftly dodged to either side.
In truth, Jared did not wish to hurt them. All he wanted was for them to clear the path.
While the two inner court disciples were dodging, Jared suddenly burst into the inner court.
At that moment, a woman of middle age emerged from the inner court of the palace. Her face darkened when she asked, “Keiran, this is the inner court of Lunarius Palace. What on earth are you shouting about?”
The person in question was none other than Keiran’s aunt, Selma, an elder of Lunarius Palace.
Upon seeing his aunt, Keiran immediately descended from mid-air and, with a face full of grievance, knelt before Selma. “Aunt Selma, help me! Someone wants to kill me…”
Selma, taken aback, questioned Keiran upon seeing his condition, “What’s going on? Who did this to you? Why is your blood essence completely drained? Your strength is rapidly declining, too. If that’s the case, wouldn’t you be unable to continue your cultivation in the future? Wouldn’t that make you useless?”
“Aunt Selma, it’s Jared. He intends to take my life. In the trial tower, I had to exert all my blood essence just to survive. He’s caught up with me now!” Keiran exclaimed in alarm.
While speaking, he looked back, his body trembling with extreme fear.
Selma clenched her teeth, roaring in a fit of rage, “What? Did someone attack you in the trial tower? Who sent you there? With my token, you have free access to the inner court. Why did you need to be tested?”
