“They’re here.”
Jared’s voice was soft, yet it detonated in every ear like thunder.
Even before the echo faded, the entire Seventh Hall shuddered violently, as though a thousand cavalry horses pounded the ground.
A shriek of air split the night. Outside, countless black figures fell like a torrential rain, blanketing the Seventh Hall and sealing every exit.
Hovering above them all, a single black-robed man—Dioz—floated in mid-air, nine soul banners snapping in the wind behind him.
The faces sewn into the soul-banner screamed with gathering frenzy, rot and fresh blood blending into a visible gray shockwave that surged straight toward the Seventh Hall.
“Jared, crawl out here and die!”
Dioz’s voice sliced across the plaza like a wind from hell, so cold and venomous it bit to the bone. In an instant, the blue-gray flagstones glazed with thick white frost, and the few hardy spiritual plants that had forced their way through the cracks shriveled to dust.
The Seventh Hall’s Mountain Defense Formation flared wildly beneath the pressure, filaments of light cracking its surface until it looked ready to shatter at any moment.
Inside, low-ranked disciples had already collapsed, trembling too hard even to lift their heads.
Saleto turned chalk-white and edged instinctively toward Jared, voice cracking with tears. “J-Jared, that... that’s Dioz Underwood—an Earthly Immortal! We—”
Jared cut him off with a look as sharp as steel. “Back away. This fight is mine.”
He stepped outside; the stone doors boomed shut behind him.
High above the plaza, Dioz peered down, a cruel smile curving beneath his black cloak. “You? A Level Six Wandering Immortal ant dares murder members of my Malevolent Path Hall?”
The Eight Shadow Pavilion Devotees and Twelve Blood Guards fanned out into a half-moon, sealing Jared inside their ring.
Each Shadow Pavilion Devotee exuded the heavy aura of one foot already in the Earthly Immortal Realm, while the Blood Guards boiled with bloodlust, eyes crimson like beasts scenting prey.
Clang—!
