“Old Mr. Giuvali, you are injured, and the lethal intent has spread throughout your body. If this drags on, you won’t make it to the southern region. You’ll probably die from ruptured meridians before long,” Jared said.

“Really?” Misho furrowed his brows. “But I don’t feel anything wrong at the moment.”

At first, Misho dismissed Jared’s words. While he acknowledged the presence of lethal intent within his body, the notion that he would succumb within an hour due to ruptured meridians seemed more like a jest to Misho, who felt perfectly fine at the moment.

“I’m telling the truth. If you hadn’t consumed Mr. Tamazi’s pill at that time, it might’ve been possible to suppress the lethal intent for a little longer. However, it’s difficult to keep it under control now. The only solution is for you to extract the lethal intent from within your body.”

Taking in Jared’s grave expression as he spoke, Misho figured the young man wasn’t lying.

As a result, panic set in for Misho. Furrowing his brows, he expressed, “Is this my fate? It seems the heavens want me dead. Jared, I hope you’ll care for my granddaughter after I die. Although she’s impulsive, she doesn’t mean anyone any harm.”

Misho unexpectedly entrusted his granddaughter to Jared, despite their recent acquaintance. The two weren’t considered closely acquainted, making this trust surprising.

“Old Mr. Giuvali, you don’t have to be so pessimistic. Although I said you’d die from ruptured meridians within an hour, now that I’m here, you’ll survive!” Jared asserted confidently.

Momentarily stunned, Misho stared fixedly at Jared in astonishment. “Are you genuinely an alchemist? Do you really have a way to remove the lethal intent from my body?”

“Of course. The lethal intent in your body might prove a tricky condition to other alchemists, but to me, it couldn’t be a simpler problem.” With that, Jared gently placed one hand on Misho’s shoulder.

A suction force began drawing out the lethal intent from Misho’s body. Feeling the lethal intent within him being expelled, Misho was dumbfounded, turning to look at Jared in disbelief.

Only demons possessed the ability to absorb lethal intent, yet Jared, devoid of a demon’s aura, accomplished this feat. It was incredible. In a moment, all the lethal intent inside Misho’s body was completely absorbed by Jared.

“All right. Try adjusting your internal energy and see,” Jared instructed. Misho quickly focused his energy on his elixir field, allowing his aura to circulate his body. He realized the lethal intent within him had vanished without a trace.

“C-Could you be a demon?” Misho gazed at Jared in shock. Demonic Cultivators faced disdain within the Ethereal Realm, making it unlikely for them to form open alliances.

Jared smiled and shook his head. “I’m not a demon, but I do know some of their techniques. Therefore, manipulating a demon’s lethal intent is no big deal to me.”

Incredulity filled Misho’s eyes, and his curiosity about Jared intensified.

The two conversed and laughed. The others around them were unaware of their discussion, only noticing how amicably Misho was chatting with Jared.

A day later, the airship ceased its forward motion and began to descend slowly. Jared was surprised. He swiftly stood up and asked, “Cloud, what’s going on?”

“Mr. Chance, an unknown force is causing the airship to descend,” Cloud replied anxiously.

“Let me check what’s happening.” Jared entered, intending to find out if there was an issue with the airship.

Hamish glanced out the window and said, “There’s nothing wrong with the airship. We’re at the mountain range that marks the border between the central and southern regions. It’s forbidden to fly past here, let alone travel with aircraft. Even birds and other flying animals can’t cross it.”
