Behind him walked a woman dressed in snow-white robes. Beside her were a young man and a young woman—the companions who had traveled here with Jared.

The moment Dominic recognized that face, the strength drained from his body. He collapsed into his seat, his complexion turning as pale as paper, as though he had been struck by lightning.

His teeth chattered as he shrieked, “Ja… Jared?! It’s you!!”

The cry cut sharply through the silent hall.

Rowan shot to his feet. The pressure of a True Immortal Realm cultivator poured out like a collapsing mountain as his eyes locked onto the man in the golden robe.

“So you’re Jared—the one who destroyed the Janis Family?”

Jared stopped and calmly swept his gaze across the hall.
