Upon arriving at Blood Spirit Valley, Jared found Dalton waiting for him at the entrance.
Seeing the number of people Jared had brought with him, Dalton quickly approached and
asked, “Mr. Chance, who are these people?”
“They are all from Soulless Hall. I encountered them on the way and brought them along.
What are you doing here at the valley entrance?”
Jared couldn’t understand why Dalton was waiting at the entrance. It seemed like he was
expecting someone.
“I was waiting for you, Mr. Chance,” Dalton replied.
Dalton leaned towards Jared’s ear and whispered, “Mr. Chance, the man who sold you the
timepiece has arrived, and he seems quite formidable. He insists on seeing you. He might
have come to reclaim the timepiece…”
Dalton assumed that the middle-aged man was there to reclaim the timepiece, so he had
been waiting at the entrance to inform Jared in advance and mentally prepare him.
Upon hearing this, Jared was immediately delighted. “Where is he now?”

“He’s inside. Mr. Daemon and my master are attending to him. He’s acting very
arrogantly!” Dalton exclaimed.
Ignoring Dalton, Jared ran straight into Blood Spirit Valley.
Inside, the middle-aged man was sitting on a recliner, with Montane Daemon and Igor
standing by his side.
Igor’s face showed a hint of displeasure, while Montane Daemon was utterly respectful.
Upon seeing Jared’s return, both Igor and Montane Daemon hurriedly went to greet him.
“Mr. Chance, you’re back!” Igor and Montane Daemon exclaimed in unison. Upon hearing
that Jared had returned, the middle-aged man immediately stood up.
Ignoring Igor and Montane Daemon, Jared walked straight up to the middle-aged man and
bowed respectfully. “Mr. Whalreth, I’m truly sorry to have kept you waiting for so long.”
Jared’s words left Igor and Montane Daemon stunned, their faces full of disbelief. Even
Whalreth himself was slightly taken aback. Then, he laughed and asked, “How did you
recognize me?”
Jared didn’t recognize Whalreth when he bought the timepiece. However, upon meeting
him now, Jared immediately recognized him, which puzzled Whalreth.
Jared flashed an awkward smile and said, “I did meet Mr. Hadad. It was he who saw the
timepiece and guessed your identity.”
With a hearty laugh, Whalreth implicitly acknowledged his own identity by saying,
“Hahaha! So, it’s that old fellow! I knew there was no way you could have comprehended
my time magical item so quickly!”
At that moment, Igor and Montane Daemon were utterly dumbfounded. They couldn’t
believe that the middle-aged man standing before them, exuding the aura of the beast
race, could actually be Whalreth.
Jared, who was also puzzled, asked, “Mr. Whalreth, what’s going on? Why do I sense the
aura of the beast race within you?”
“Ah, it’s a long story. When you released me from the Pentacarna Tower, my soul remnant
managed to escape back to the Ethereal Realm. However, I couldn’t find a place to rest,
nor could I reconstruct a physical body. In the end, I had no choice but to inhabit the body
of a beast race cultivator. If my soul were exposed for a long period of time, there’s a high
chance it could scatter and dissipate. If that happens, I might truly disappear forever,”
Whalreth explained.
After hearing Whalreth’s explanation, Jared finally understood. So, this body originally
belonged to a beast race cultivator. No wonder it carries the scent of the beast race!

forgive me!” Montane Daemon exclaimed as he fell to his knees before Whalreth with a
thud.
At that moment, he no longer harbored any doubts about Whalreth’s identity, especially
since Whalreth had just demonstrated the power of the Sacred Light Fist.
Whalreth gestured with his hand and said, “Get up. No blame attaches to the unconscious
doer of wrong.”
Montane Daemon, his face flushed with excitement, stood up. His body trembled slightly
from the overwhelming exhilaration.
“What did you want to see me for, Mr. Whalreth?” Jared asked, curious about the reason
for Whalreth’s visit.
“Of course, I sought you out because I need your assistance,” he replied. “I have been
inhabiting another person’s body, but I am unable to enhance my strength in this form.
This body cannot withstand it. Therefore, I need to reconstruct my physical form. However,
to do so, I require Demonia Stone. I wanted you to help me locate Demonia Stone so that I
can reconstruct my physical form,” Whalreth explained.
