Chapter 1876 Their Plan

“That may be fate, and no one can change it. The will of the heavens cannot be thwarted.” In truth, Jessica did not wish for the situation to come to that either. The day it did would only mean misery, suffering, and endless fighting.

“By the way, Ms. Zimmerman, Demon Sect shares the same origin as Evil Heart Sect, the sect behind Warriors Alliance. So why are they allowed to roam freely on this earth and are not subjected to the same restrictions?” Jared asked curiously. I always thought that the laws of nature only applied to spiritual energy cultivators but not demonic energy cultivators. From the looks of it, however, it seems that Demon Sect also has to abide by the same restrictions. That means my assumption was incorrect.

“The same restrictions apply to Evil Heart Sect. Why else do you think they haven't sent a skilled fighter to kill you after how you provoked Warriors Alliance? Warriors Alliance is nothing more than Evil Heart Sect's representative in the mundane world. Its members are merely people possessed by spirits, and the laws of nature don't govern spirits without their real bodies. Evil Heart Sect used that loophole to make its members commit suicide, then made their spirits enter the mundane world. However, there's a fatal flaw to that method—the strength of those possessed by the spirits will be greatly diminished. Also, not everyone is suitable to be a host, and selecting a host isn't all that simple. Evil Heart Sect has gone all out to lay out their plans in the mundane world before the spiritual energy recovery. However, their practice of attaining what's effectively a pyrrhic victory is too cruel,” she replied.

Jared looked shocked as he listened to her detailed explanation. It never crossed his mind that Evil Heart Sect would go so far as to make their members take their own lives just because they wanted to create spirits. Suddenly, he recalled what happened when he was in Demon Sect's secret realm. I wasn't stopped by the mysterious force when I split my spirit from my body to pass through the chaos dimension, so it seems that force is the power of the laws of nature.

Very quickly, another question popped into his head. Jessica doesn't hold a high position within Demon Sect, so why does she know so much? The recovery of spiritual energy and Evil Heart Sect's plans should be considered confidential information. How did she learn about all that?

Puzzled, he asked, “If you don't mind me asking, how did you come to know so much?”

His question jolted Jessica into the realization that she had said too much. Logically speaking, someone in my position shouldn't be privy to that much information. However, since he's already getting suspicious, I can't hide anything from him anymore.

“Mr. Chance, I think of you as a friend. That's why I've unknowingly been so open with you. You can't let my sect leader know what I've told you, okay?” she responded, gazing at him with an imploring look.

He nodded. “Not to worry, Ms. Zimmerman. You think of me as a friend, so how could I betray a friend?”

Jessica hesitated for a moment. Then, she finally said, “Because you asked, I'll tell you. I know all that because I heard about them from Mr. Sullivan. It seems he knows quite a bit about Evil Heart Sect and shared many things with me. Don't tell anyone about this. If the sect leader finds out, he'll surely punish Mr. Sullivan.”

“Don't worry. My lips are sealed,” Jared promised. Nonetheless, he could not help feeling puzzled. Why did Patrick tell her all of this? Even if the two are in a relationship, there's no need to touch on these matters. After all, in the current environment, the more one knows, the more dangerous that could be. If Patrick cared about her safety, he wouldn't have told her these things.

“Ms. Zimmerman, I'm still a little confused. Why did Mr. Sullivan tell you all these? After all, it won't do you any good to be aware of these matters, right?” Jared asked.
