“You saw it too. My draconic essence is stained with demonic fire. Although it’s suppressed by an arcane array now, the arcane array is bound to crumble one day! I don’t want my draconic essence to fall into the hands of an evil force, so I want to give it to you. If you want it, you must remove the demonic fire first. Dare you try it?” the man asked.
Jared’s eyes shone brightly as he stared at the draconic essence. I won’t give up on such a great deal. Although it’s risky for me to remove the demonic fire, it’s worth it. After all, it’s a perfect draconic essence!
“Sir, I would like to give it a try, but if I take your draconic essence, doesn’t that mean you’ll perish?” The man laughed. “I’ve long been dead, so it doesn’t matter to me anymore. Perhaps it’s my destiny to give my draconic essence to the right person.”
Hearing that, Jared activated his spiritual soul and dove into the draconic essence. Meanwhile, a sect meeting was being held at the base of Emerald Cauldron Sect, and all the disciples were dressed up accordingly.
In the main hall of the sect, Hosen was seated in the main seat, and beside him were Ebenez and Ghaylen. The ones standing in different lines before them were the disciples of each elder.
At that moment, the atmosphere in the main hall of the sect was incredibly tense because everyone there was looking out for themselves.
Viola stood among the disciples of Ghaylen and glared at Hosen. “Ebenez, Ghaylen, I think everyone’s here. We should start the meeting.” Hosen swept a glance at the disciples.
“Before we begin, I would like to say a few words, Hosen. May I proceed?” Ghaylen asked. “Well, of course! Go on.” Hosen flashed a faint smile Ghaylen nodded, rose to his feet, and glanced at the disciples of Emerald Cauldron Sect.
Hosen and Ebenez looked at each other and smiled when they saw what Ghaylen was doing. “Disciples of Emerald Cauldron Sect, since it’s a sect meeting, I would like to introduce you to someone.”
With that, Ghaylen nodded at Vioja. Viola leaped into the air and landed beside Ghaylen.
Hosen played dumb and asked in confusion, “What are you doing, Ghaylen?”
“Hosen, I want to expose your evil doings at the sect meeting today! I want all the disciples to know your true colors!” Viola shot Hosen a glare and suddenly took off her mask. The disciples were stunned when they saw Viola’s face.
“Ms. Viola? Isn’t that Ms. Viola?”
“I thought Ms. Viola was dead. How is she still alive?”
“What’s going on?” The disciples murmured among themselves. “Oh? It’s Ms. Viola! You’re alive!” Hosen gave a small smile when he saw Viola.
Ghaylen and Viola felt their hearts sink when they saw the calm look on Hosen’s face. Afterward, the pair quickly glanced at Ebenez.
Like Hosen, Ebenez looked as cool as a cucumber. Right then, Ghaylen and Viola knew something was amiss, but it was too late for them to back out.
“Hosen, you poisoned my family so that you could become the lord of Emerald Cauldron Sect! You’re a wicked man! Aren’t you afraid that you’ll die a horrible death? Fortunately, I survived, and I’m going to expose your wrongdoings! I want to avenge my parents!” Viola shouted at Hosen through her gritted teeth.
Everyone in the hall was stupefied. None of them had expected Hosen to use such a cruel method to become the sect leader. They were also stunned to learn that Hosen had murdered their previous leader.
