The Man’s Decree

Several demonic souls darted toward Jared, moving so swiftly that they were virtually indistinguishable.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Those demonic souls vanished in an instant, only to reappear at a distance next. Maurice followed closely, trailing behind the demonic souls.

A frown creased Jared’s brow. He could sense danger approaching. Following that, he activated Blazing Stride, and his body once again vanished from its original location.

The moment Jared vanished, the demonic souls had already appeared where he had just been standing. Instantly, the demonic souls, too, disappeared.

Jared’s expression was icy cold. He hadn’t expected Maurice, the elder of Ghost Mask Sect would have such tricks up his sleeve. Jared was at a loss as to what exactly he was dealing with. Never did he imagine something could match his speed without faltering.

The moment Jared took a step forward and reappeared, several demonic souls unexpectedly materialized above his head.

“Demonic souls?”

Jared was somewhat taken aback by their presence.

He couldn’t believe Maurice was capable of controlling several demonic souls at the same time.

The demonic souls roared, their expressions incredibly ferocious.

Even though those demonic souls appeared to be quite frightening, Jared no longer felt the same sense of danger as before.

After all, the only thing demonic souls could harm was his consciousness field.

Demonic souls were incapable of inflicting any harm on Jared’s physical body, nor could they perform any attacks on his body.

Their only option was to attack Jared’s consciousness field. Alas, attacking his consciousness field was not easy.

Apart from Vermilion Demon Lord, there was also the Golden Tome in his consciousness field. Jared turned toward Vermilion Demon Lord and asked, “Mr. Vermilion, can you handle these demonic souls?”

“What are you talking about? Are you trying to embarrass me? How could you ask such a thing? They’re just demonic souls. I can even beat up Fire Demon Lord’s demonic souls from the celestial realm,” Vermilion Demon Lord responded with disdain.

“You’re the best, Mr. Vermilion!” At that point, Jared had no choice but to acquiesce. Since Vermilion Demon Lord liked to brag, the former decided to let him have his way.

The demonic souls surrounded Jared and instantly flooded into his body.

Swiftly, it plunged into the depths of Jared’s consciousness field. Upon seeing Jared possessed by the demon souls, Maurice began to laugh in smug satisfaction.

“No matter how powerful your consciousness field is, I’m sure my demonic souls will subdue you.”

Maurice slowly made his way toward Jared.

As Jared watched Maurice approach, an idea suddenly dawned on him. His eyes turned lifeless instantly as if his consciousness had been seized.

Meanwhile, those few demonic souls regretted their actions once they entered Jared’s consciousness field.

Everyone screamed in terror. All of them were beaten up terribly with just a wave of Vermilion Demon Lord’s hands.

They were not even in the same league. Despite being reduced to a mere soul remnant, Vermilion Demon Lord was still far beyond any demon souls that belonged to Demonic Cultivators from the Ethereal Realm could ever compare to.

At that time, Maurice walked up to Jared. Seeing Jared’s lifeless eyes and his puppet-like demeanor, the former couldn’t help but give a cold, mirthless smile.

The man from the Ghost Mask Sect had also caught up, and he began to heap praises on Maurice. “Looks like Mr. Talbot’s demonic souls are more powerful. No matter how great this. guy is, it’s pointless when he has a weak consciousness field.”

“This trip was truly worthwhile. Not only did I successfully negotiate terms with Violet Flame Sect, but I also captured Jared. Now, we can look for Demon Seal Alliance to trade for the hundred-year offering. Take this young man back to the sect now, while I go after those old sect leaders from Violet Flame Sect. We can’t let them cause trouble,” Maurice said to the man.

After all, Jared is now under the control of the demonic souls. He’s no different than a fool.

Anyone can just take him away.

The man nodded. He walked up to Jared and gestured, saying, “Come with me.”

Jared moved robotically, trailing behind that man.
