Upon arriving at Blood Spirit Valley, Jared found Dalton waiting for him at the entrance. Seeing the


    number of people Jared had brought with him, Dalton quickly approached and asked, “Mr. Chance,


    who are these people?”


    “They are all from Soulless Hall. I encountered them on the way and brought them along. What are you


    doing here at the valley entrance?”


    Jared couldn’t understand why Dalton was waiting at the entrance. It seemed like he was expecting


    someone.


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    “I was waiting for you, Mr. Chance,” Dalton replied.


    Dalton leaned towards Jared’s ear and whispered, “Mr. Chance, the man who sold you the timepiece


    has arrived, and he seems quite formidable. He insists on seeing you. He might havee to reim


    the timepiece…”


    Dalton assumed that the middle-aged man was there to reim the timepiece, so he had been waiting


    at the entrance to inform Jared in advance and mentally prepare him.


    Upon hearing this, Jared was immediately delighted. “Where is he now?”


    “He’s inside. Mr. Daemon and my master are attending to him. He’s acting very arrogantly!” Dalton


    eximed.


    Ignoring Dalton, Jared ran straight into Blood Spirit Valley.


    Inside, the middle-aged man was sitting on a recliner, with Montane Daemon and Igor standing by his


    side.


    Igor’s face showed a hint of displeasure, while Montane Daemon was utterly respectful. Upon seeing


    Jared’s return, both Igor and Montane Daemon hurriedly went to greet him.


    “Mr. Chance, you’re back!” Igor and Montane Daemon eximed in unison. Upon hearing that Jared


    had returned, the middle-aged man immediately stood up.


    Ignoring Igor and Montane Daemon, Jared walked straight up to the middle-aged man and bowed


    respectfully. “Mr. Whalreth, I’m truly sorry to have kept you waiting for so long.”


    Jared’s words left Igor and Montane Daemon stunned, their faces full of disbelief. Even Whalreth


    himself was slightly taken aback. Then, heughed and asked, “How did you recognize me?”


    Jared didn’t recognize Whalreth when he bought the timepiece. However, upon meeting him now,


    Jared immediately recognized him, which puzzled Whalreth.


    Jared shed an awkward smile and said, “I did meet Mr. Hadad. It was he who saw the timepiece and


    guessed your identity.”


    With a heartyugh, Whalreth implicitly acknowledged his own identity by saying, “Hahaha! So, it’s that


    old fellow! I knew there was no way you could haveprehended my time magical item so quickly!”


    At that moment, Igor and Montane Daemon were utterly dumbfounded. They couldn’t believe that the


    middle-aged man standing before them, exuding the aura of the beast race, could actually be Whalreth.


    Jared, who was also puzzled, asked, “Mr. Whalreth, what’s going on? Why do I sense the aura of the


    beast race within you?”


    “Ah, it’s a long story. When you released me from the Pentacarna Tower, my soul remnant managed to


    escape back to the Ethereal Realm. However, I couldn’t find a ce to rest, nor could I reconstruct a


    physical body. In the end, I had no choice but to inhabit the body of a beast race cultivator. If my soul


    were exposed for a long period of time, there’s a high chance it could scatter and dissipate. If that


    happens, I might truly disappear forever,” Whalreth exined.


    After hearing Whalreth’s exnation, Jared finally understood. So, this body originally belonged to a


    beast race cultivator. No wonder it carries the scent of the beast race!


    “Elder Whalreth, I can’t believe I had the audacity to raise my hand against you. Please forgive me!”


    Montane Daemon eximed as he fell to his knees before Whalreth with a thud.


    At that moment, he no longer harbored any doubts about Whalreth’s identity, especially since Whalreth


    had just demonstrated the power of the Sacred Light Fist.


    Whalreth gestured with his hand and said, “Get up. No me attaches to the unconscious doer of


    wrong.”


    Montane Daemon, his face flushed with excitement, stood up. His body trembled slightly from the


    overwhelming exhration.


    “What did you want to see me for, Mr. Whalreth?” Jared asked, curious about the reason for Whalreth’s


    visit.


    “Of course, I sought you out because I need your assistance,” he replied. “I have been inhabiting


    another person’s body, but I am unable to enhance my strength in this form. This body cannot


    withstand it. Therefore, I need to reconstruct my physical form. However, to do so, I require Demonia


    Stone. I wanted you to help me locate Demonia Stone so that I can reconstruct my physical form,”


    Whalreth exined.
