Chapter 2157CHAPTER 2157 WE ARE EVEN
With a deafening boom, the room was smashed into smithereens. The debris flying in the air was also
blown away into the far distance by Jared's aura.
At that moment, Jared and the soul remnant were exposed in the wide-open courtyard.
The huge explosion also attracted a lot of disciples from Luminous Sect.
By then, Matthew had almost recovered completely. As he stared at Jared and the figure facing off in
mid-air, a grim look spread across his face.
“Mr. Campbell, this soul remnant has been hiding within your body. It's the source of the years of
torment that you've suffered through,” declared Jared as he pointed his sword at the figure.
Fury raged in Matthew's eyes as he glared at the figure.
He swung his arm, causing orbs of light to rise from the Luminous Sect. These orbs rose mid-air and
formed a shapeless web that surrounded the figure.
The figure finally revealed a hint of panic when Matthew did that. A solemn look appeared on its face.
“Blazing Sun!” bellowed Matthew.
The shapeless web was instantly engulfed in scorching flames before it began to shrink in the figure's
direction, blocking any path of escape that it might have. “How dare you injure me, Matthew? I'll make you pay the price a hundred times over! Don't forget this
is only my soul remnant. Even if you destroy it, it won't affect me much. However, I will ensure that
Luminous Sect will be doomed beyond redemption...” threatened the figure in the face of the fire web,
which kept shrinking in size.
On the other hand, Matthew merely snorted coldly. The flames burned even more ferociously.
“Argh!” The figure finally let out a shriek of pain.
“Don't kill it, Mr. Campbell!”
When Jared saw that, he immediately rushed in front of Matthew to stop him.
However, it was too late. The figure had already been reduced into ashes, leaving no traces behind.
Jared could not help but sigh when he saw that the figure had disappeared.
novelbin“Was there a reason you wanted to spare the soul remnant?” asked Matthew.
“Mr. Campbell, the soul remnant managed to remain in your body for so many years. Even though it
had been forced out, it was still so powerful. Evidently, the person in his original form must be highly
skilled. More importantly, his original body won't be too far from here! The soul remnant one leaves
behind after one's death is the weakest. There aren't a lot of Demonic Cultivators that can create soul
remnants alive. There are distance constraints when it comes to controlling these soul remnants, so it's
not like they can be controlled from any distance possible. Hence, I wanted to let the soul remnant
escape so that we can track it and find where the original body of the Demonic Cultivator is,” explainedJared to Matthew.”
That was the reason why Jared had not absorbed and refined the soul remnant earlier.
Destroying a soul remnant would not harm the Demonic Cultivator's original body significantly.
However, now that the soul remnant had been eliminated, it would be much more difficult to find the
actual Demonic Cultivator.
At present, Luminous Sect was out in the open while the Demonic Cultivator remained hidden in the
shadows. If the latter wanted to attack, Luminous Sect would not have time to defend itself.
After hearing Jared's explanation, Matthew also realized that he had acted too rashly earlier. Yet, now
that things had reached this stage, there was no choice but to deal with the situation step by step.
“Young man, since you've saved my life, I'm eternally grateful. Just tell me if you want anything. As long
as it's something that Luminous Sect has, I definitely won't be petty with it. “
Matthew thanked Jared.
“You saved my life too, Mr. Campbell. We're even now.” Jared smiled faintly.
Matthew was stunned for a while before bursting into laughter. “We're even. However, since you've
already come to Luminous Sect, stay here for a few more days. Let me fulfill my duty as a host.”
“Sure!” Jared nodded. Since Jared still planned to find out more information about the Spring of Regeneration from these
hidden sects, he was more than happy to receive Matthew's invitation to stay.
Coincidentally, he wanted to ask Matthew about the sects and learn more about them.
