Chapter 5624

“There’s no need to be so formal, Mr. Contreras. Your men had no choice but to leave,” Jared said quickly, trying to ease the tension still lingering in the air.

“Don’t bother pleading for them,” Neville said, his tone calm but firm. “The moment they abandoned you, they broke the rules of the Nethergate Sect.

As for that Golden Pass you hold, whether you earned it or it was given, it doesn’t matter. A promise from the Nethergate Sect is ironclad. Even if our entire sect falls, we won’t break it.”

Hearing Neville, Jared finally understood just how significant the so-called “meeting gift” from the Vermilion Demon Lord really was.

He had thought it might be a trinket, especially after Rowena fled, but now he realized, for the Demon Lord to obtain a Golden Pass from the Nethergate Sect was no simple feat.

“Mr. Contreras… what kind of organization is Earth Fiend Sect? They sent four Top Level Human Immortal Realm Level Nine, and even a Heavenly Immortal Realm elder. How could one group muster that kind of strength in a single night?” Jared asked, disbelief shading his words.

Jared realized that an alliance this strong could shake an entire region, let alone pose a threat to just one wandering cultivator.
