Quindon held nothing back as he explained the entire situation to Jared, including the part where Skylar was sacrificing their disciples in the secret realm to increase his own cultivation.
Even though Jared had braced himself for the worst, he still reeled in shock when he heard about Skylar treating secret realm disciples as resources and absorbing dozens of them daily.
“Well, as Evil Heart Sect’s purple-robed emissaries, it’s only natural that you carry out your responsibilities and serve the sect. Isn’t that something you should’ve prepared yourself for?” Jared commented.
“What we have with Evil Heart Sect is purely a working relationship. Lord Tanner promised to give us the mundane world once the spiritual energy was restored, Quindon explained. “We’ve been trapped in the secret realm for many years, and the speed of our cultivation is declining steadily. If we continued to stay in there, I doubt we’d ever make it into the Ethereal Realm. As you know, it’s every cultivator’s wish to become immortal. That’s why we agreed to join Evil Heart Sect!
However, it’s becoming clear that Evil Heart Sect is merely using us as cannon fodder. Even when Spiritual Energy Restoration Formation gets activated and restores the spiritual energy in the mundane world, I’m afraid there won’t be a place for us in any realm anymore. That’s why we’re looking to join forces with you. We hope to rescue our families, thwart the restoration of spiritual energy, and destroy Evil Heart Sect once and for all. We’d rather be stuck in the secret realm for the rest of our lives than continue losing our loved ones and disciples…”
After hearing that, Jared sighed softly. “The Ethereal Realm isn’t as perfect as you think. That place is far more cruel than the mundane world.”
“Oh? Have you been to the Ethereal Realm?” Quindon asked as he looked at the man in astonishment. Jared nodded. “I’ve just returned from there…”
