Sylvia leaned forward slightly. "Tell me why is Neville protecting Jared,Grand Elder Elmer? Jared is only at Human Immortal Realm Level Three. Even if he's talented enough to fight above his rank, he still wouldn't count as a top expert in level nine. Why would Neville defy the Soul Devourer just to shield him?"
Elmer shook his head. "I have no idea. I only know that the Malevolent Path Hall is also after Jared. And in Jared's hands, one of their celestial lords and one Dharma King have both fallen."
"What?" All three elders shot to their feet, stunned.
A celestial lord and a Dharma King from the Malevolent Path Hall were practically unbeatable in level nine. How could they possibly die to someone at Human Immortal Realm Level Three?
"There's no need to be shocked," Elmer said calmly. "Jared isn't even my match, so there's no way he killed the Malevolent Path Hall's celestial lord and Dharma King."
Sylvia's eyes narrowed. "So you're saying there's someone powerful backing him?"
One elder spoke up, "Isn't Neville that powerhouse? He's the one protecting Jared."
Sylvia shot him a sharp look. "Neville couldn't kill a celestial lord and a Dharma King from the Malevolent Path Hall. You know that."
The elder immediately fell silent.
Even Neville did not have the kind of strength to take down experts of that level.
Elmer turned to Sylvia. "Ms. Vale, are you suggesting there's someone even stronger behind Jared?"
"Exactly." Sylvia nodded. "When Soul Devourer arrived, he was badly injured, and he clearly hated Jared. But with Jared's strength, even Neville's strength, it would be impossible for either of them to hurt Soul Devourer like that. Which means someone even stronger must be behind Jared. Maybe someone at level ten... or even from a higher realm."
"Then it makes sense," another elder added slowly. "Neville isn't afraid of Soul Devourer because he's counting on that expert."
"Exactly." Sylvia nodded. "I know Neville too well. He talks all day about honor and virtue, but if something doesn't benefit him, he won't bother doing it."
