“What exactly is the Malevolent Path Hall?” Jared asked, genuinely puzzled.
“It’s an organization—one that collects the souls of the dead. I never dreamed they’d descend to the Third Heaven,” Saleto answered, his shock plain to see.
His words left Jared certain that the mysterious group Everett had mentioned was indeed Malevolent Path Hall.
“Are they powerful?” Jared pressed.
“Very. They’ve existed for several thousand years, gathering wandering souls wherever large numbers of cultivators die—battlefields, sect massacres, you name it.”
merge “I even heard that during a sect war in the Ninth Heaven—more than ten thousand dead—their people showed up.”
Saleto spoke in a shaken whisper.
“Oh?” Jared’s brow furrowed. “That means their strength must surpass even the Ninth Heaven.”
“Of course. They appear everywhere, yet they never join fights—only harvest souls. No one knows what they do with them,” Saleto said.
merge “And now they’ve clashed with you for reasons we still don’t understand.”
Saleto could make no sense of it.
Jared, however, understood perfectly: Malevolent Path Hall wanted Vermilion Demon Lord’s divine soul; when he refused, they attacked.
Just then, a memory of the token flickered through Jared’s mind. If those people scoured the realms for souls, the token was probably connected.
He almost asked Saleto about it, then thought better of revealing he carried the token. Better to stay silent.
“What message did they send you?” Flaxseed’s tone was grave.

Josephine's first time seeing Jared kill isn't with Leyton but with Falcon. Pay attention to your work....
You need to correct yourself,dear author. Josephine was in the City of Herbs when she was a kid, so why is the city's smell surprising to her?...
I need more chapters...
When can I get the next chapter...
