Chapter 2600 Convinced

Chapter 2600 ConvincedWith Jared's current strength, it was indeed slightly difficult for him to annihilate Emerald Cauldron
Sect, and even if he did, he wouldn't actually benefit in any way.
However, if he could somehow bring Emerald Cauldron Sect under his control and, more importantly,
take over the sect's abundant resources, he could use those resources to break through Manifestor
Level and attain the Body Fusion Realm. In doing so, he wouldn't have to keep hiding in the small
mountain village.
novelbinBy then, Jared could even put Emerald Cauldron Sect's influence to good use to locate Josephine,
Feenix, and the others.
Furthermore, once he had sufficient power, he could even help Yuven unify the three kings and four
archons. With that, Jared would be able to command almost the entire beast race, making it much
easier to expand his influence in Ethereal Realm.
Sensing Jared's hesitation, Sigurd felt hopeful. He hurriedly added in excitement, “If you spare me, I'll
swear loyalty to you and obey all your orders. I know you don't trust me. I can surrender a strand of my
bodily spirit. If I show any disloyalty, you can kill me anytime.”
Sigurd continued to up the stakes, afraid he wouldn't be able to persuade Jared.
He was genuinely frightened and utterly terrified. Looking at Francois, whose life barely hung by a
thread, Sigurd felt fear creeping into his heart.
“How do you know your master will accept me after I've killed Francois? Besides, there is some conflict
between your master and me. He had to kneel before me previously.” Jared recounted what had happened between him and Hosen.
Sigurd was utterly astounded to hear his master had previously groveled at Jared's feet.
Nevertheless, he swiftly replied, “My master is particularly greedy. He wanted us to bring you back alive
because he must be coveting your magical items. You can temporarily hand over the magical items to
him, and I will sing your praises. As for Francois' death, my master won't mind. When I become the
leader of Emerald Cauldron Sect, those magical items will be returned to you.”
Sigurd was undoubtedly a quick thinker, ready to go to any lengths to save his own life.
Jared was indeed tempted after listening to Sigurd's suggestions. He hesitated for a few moments
before suddenly reaching out and slapping Sigurd's head.
However, he wasn't trying to kill Sigurd. Instead, he extracted a strand of Sigurd's bodily spirit and
placed it into his vast consciousness field.
From then on, if Sigurd ever disobeyed him, he could easily do away with Sigurd's bodily spirit.
Seeing Jared had taken a strand of his bodily spirit, Sigurd immediately sighed in relief. He knew Jared
had decided to spare him.
As expected, after absorbing Sigurd's bodily spirit, Jared cut the ropes binding Sigurd with a wave of
his hand and released the man.
“Your limbs are broken. Stay here to heal for a few days. I can help you recover. After that, we'll go toEmerald Cauldron Sect together,” Jared said to Sigurd.
“I'll follow your arrangements, Mr. Chance,” Sigurd replied subserviently.
Still, Jared had to explain the circumstances to Antonio and the others for releasing Sigurd.
“Mr. Antonio, Sigurd—”
Jared wanted to explain to Antonio that Sigurd could be useful to him, but before he could finish his
sentence, Antonio interjected, “Jared, we understand your intentions. It's fine. Besides, Sigurd never
killed any of our villagers in person. You don't need to feel guilty. It's sufficient that Francois dies.
Besides, the main force of Cyan Village has been wiped out by you. In a few days, I'll bring people to
Cyan Village and move all their resources back here.”
Seeing how magnanimously Antonio reacted, Jared could only express his gratitude.
Subsequently, Jared prepared some jet melding cream and applied the cream on Sigurd's limbs to
hasten the latter's recovery.
