Jared looked at the earnestness in her eyes, and the stubbornness underneath it.'
He stayed silent for a moment.
He could see what was driving her.'
She wanted to repay what she owed him this way. And just as much, she wanted to use that effort to give herself somewhere to stand again, some direction to keep walking toward.
After a long while, he gave a slow nod.'
His tone stayed flat, but there was a little more approval in it now. "Okay."
One word.'
Simple. Solid. It answered Vivian's request, and it carried his trust with it too.
Just then...
Luther, who had been standing behind Jared the whole time without saying a word, suddenly changed color.'
His dark face turned deathly pale in an instant, and the ghostly energy around him grew wild and unstable, like he had run straight into something he should never have seen.
He jerked his head up.'
His eyes went wide as he stared into the distance. A shock so sharp it almost cut, a heavy seriousness, and even a trace of dread flashed across his face.
Luther had come from the path of ghost cultivation.'
His senses toward the Ghost Clan's aura were innately sharp. Even the faintest thread of ghostly energy couldn't slip past him.
"Mr. Chance!"
He couldn't hold it in anymore.'
"I sensed it... a powerful Ghost Clan aura! It's incredibly dense, and incredibly evil. This is definitely not some ordinary Ghost Clan cultivator. At the very least, it's a Sacred Paragon-level existence or higher!"
"For something like that to suddenly appear in the Fourteenth Firmament... could this be another trick from the Celestial Palace?"
Jared's brow lifted slightly.'
His eyes snapped to Luther, and a deeper weight entered his gaze.
He knew what Luther could do.'
He also knew just how sharp Luther's senses were when it came to the Ghost Clan. If Luther said he had sensed a Ghost Clan aura, and with this much gravity, then it wasn't wrong.
"What direction?"
Jared's voice stayed even, but there was a pressure in it that couldn't be challenged.'
Whatever danger was coming, he sounded like someone who could still face it without the slightest rush.
Luther closed his eyes and drew in a deep breath.'
He forced down the turbulence inside him, crushed down that rising dread, and focused all his attention on the aura he had sensed.
Ghostly energy slowly spilled out around Luther and linked up with that faint trace of Ghost Clan aura in the air.'
He followed it with care, locking onto the direction it was coming from.
