Helmut couldn’t care less about Proclus whatsoever. Although the latter had displeasure written all over
his face, he didn’t dare say a word about it.
“If you apologize to me on your knees right now, I might just forgive you!” Helmut said while glaring at
Jared.
“Your disciple attacked me first. I was just defending myself. Why should I apologize?” Jared retorted
fearlessly.
“How dare you take that tone with me?”
Helmut was not expecting a mere human cultivator like Jared to talk back to him, especially while they
were on Demonia Mountain. He got so angry that he unleashed his Eighth Level Tribulator aura upon
Jared.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen the incredibly powerful aura hit Jared, his body felt heavy, and his legs started bending at the
knees. However, Jared gritted his teeth and mustered all his strength to remain standing.
Helmut froze in surprise when he saw that Jared could withstand his aura. “So, you’ve kept your true
power hidden. Even so, you’re nothing more than a bug to me!”
Helmut increased the intensity of his aura, causing everyone around him to back away.
Jared’s eyes widened, and the veins in his forehead bulged as he continued to resist the aura.
Right as Jared was about to reach his limits, a mysterious force gave him a light push and knocked
Helmut’s aura back.
“Mr. Chance is an esteemed guest of mine, Helmut. Aren’t you going a little too far here?” said Igor as
he made his way over and glared at Helmut.
Helmut’s eyes were filled with disdain as he said, “Esteemed guest? I don’t care who he is! He injured
my disciple, so he must apologize on his knees!”
“Master, Dimas was the one who attacked first. Mr. Chance only hurt him in self-defense. Besides,
Dimas is a Fourth Level Tribulator cultivator while Mr. Chance has only just made it to Tribulator. I’m
surprised he even dares to demand an apology from Mr. Chance!” Dalton explained.
“I know!” Igor was clearly aware of what happened. Helmut got even angrier when he heard what
Dalton said. To lose a fight against someone of a lower cultivation level is extremely humiliating for
Bloodroot Peak!
He turned toward Igor and said, “I don’t care who attacked first, Igor. My disciple is injured, so he must
apologize no matter what. You’re not going to turn against me over a mere human cultivator, are you?”
Igor’s expression grew cold as well. “As I said, Mr. Chance is an esteemed guest of mine. I will not hold
back against anyone who dares harm him.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHelmut’s face turned gloomy. The tension was through the roof as the two stared at each other. Jared
glanced at Rosetta in confusion. He couldn’t understand how Blood Spirit Valley was related to
Bloodroot Peak.
Noticing Jared’s response, Rosetta walked up to him and whispered into his ear, “The master of
Bloodroot Peak and my father once shared the same master. We all share the same bloodline as the
blood demon. When my father became the head of Blood Spirit Valley, Helmut wasn’t too happy about
it. He then entered Bloodroot Peak on his own and became its master. My father never bothered to
question him about it, so things have been rather peaceful all these years. It’s tough for us demons to
survive as is, and an internal strife would only worsen the situation.”
After listening to Rosetta’s explanation, Jared finally understood the situation. Although Igor was
Helmut’s senior, he was actually a little weaker in comparison.
Right as the atmosphere was getting increasingly tense, Montane Daemon stormed over and yelled
furiously, “Those who dare mess with Mr. Chance will have to go through me first!”
