This was the stronghold of the Blood Bone Sect, where Cassius fled after his spirit managed to escape.
“Rainier, help! Save me!” Cassius shouted desperately, his voice trembling with fear.
From within the main hall, a man clad in a grey robe adorned with a string of white bones across his chest emerged.
His chest was lined with a series of skulls, presenting a truly terrifying sight.
This man was none other than Cassius' second senior, Rainier Tindall. The level of ruthlessness he exhibited far surpassed that of Cassius.
Back in the day, when their master was still alive, Rainier was skilled at concealing his true nature. Consequently, Trystan found it hard to believe that Rainier could become so ruthless.
“Cassius, what happened?” Rainier asked, his voice filled with feigned concern. “Why is there only a trace of your spirit left? What happened to your body? Weren't you supposed to wipe out Trystan's Soul Demon Sect? How did things end up like this?”
The skulls on his chest emitted an eerie green glow as he shot several questions at Cassius, his disbelief evident.
“Rainier, I failed. Everyone I brought with me is dead. In the end, I had to abandon my physical form to escape,” Cassius exclaimed in panic.
Just recalling the tactics used against him made his spirit tremble.
“How could this be? Do you mean Trystan is stronger than you expected? That's impossible, right?” Rainier asked, confusion evident on his face.
“That's strange. I've never heard of such a formidable young individual in the Ethereal Realm before. He possessed a Demon Flogger and some sort of celestial beast, yet he's only a Seventh Level Tribulator, able to wield power comparable to someone at Ultimate Realm Level Two. There's something odd about this, don't you think?” Rainier's expression remained puzzled.
It didn't make sense to him how such a powerful young man could exist in the Ethereal Realm without ever being noticed.
Allardland was a significant force in the Ethereal Realm, possessing countless resources. Yet, despite its power, none of the princes of Allardland had shown such capabilities. Who else in the Ethereal Realm could possibly cultivate such an extraordinary young individual?
Seeing that Rainier remained somewhat skeptical, Cassius quickly raised his hand and swore earnestly, “Rainier, I swear I'm telling you the truth. If I had lied, I'm willing to endure the torment of the Great Lightning Tribulation!”
“Cassius, you don't have to swear like that. I was merely speculating,” Rainier replied calmly. “Now, focus on recovering your strength. I still have some matters to attend to. Once I'm finished and return, we can head to the Soul Demon Sect to settle our scores.”
