Seeing the elderly man, everyone was shocked, completely unprepared to discover that Tanner, the leader of the formidable Evil Heart Sect, possessed a benevolent and gentle countenance.
Even Malphas, who had faithfully followed Tanner for years, was caught off guard, his eyes widening as he beheld Tanner's face for the first time.
“Mr. Sanders, w-what is going on?”
Jared could barely hide his shock. It looks like Mr. Sanders knows Lord Tanner of the Evil Heart Sect. He could even call out his name. Mr. Sanders also mentioned that the Spiritual Energy Restoration Formation is nothing but a scam. What is going on?
“Don't you understand? Is it not clear by now who set up the Spiritual Energy Restoration Formation?” Arthur asked.
“Divine Quest Sect set it up,” came Jared's answer.
“Divine Quest Sect may have established the formation, but isn't it peculiar that Lord Tanner of Evil Heart Sect possesses the ability to activate it?” Arthur queried.
Jared was thrown into confusion, finding his brain muddled.
Soon, he seemed to realize something as he gazed at Rudy in shock. “I-Is he the sect leader of Divine Quest Sect?”
He recalled how he used the Wordless Tome to witness the events within the secret realm of Divine Quest Sect.
Initially, the sect had appeared tranquil and undisturbed. However, in the blink of an eye, the people vanished, replaced by an eerie congregation of stone statues, alongside the supposed Spiritual Energy Restoration Formation.
Instead of answering Jared's question, Arthur turned to Rudy. “Is it worth it to sacrifice everyone in the sect to set up this formation and scheme for years in Evil Heart Sect?”
“Of course. You don't understand, but this is my mission,” Rudy replied.
“Mission?” Arthur frowned as a scowl crept up his face. “Did you seriously sacrifice that many people for your mission to save someone who deserved to die? Do you know how many people you've killed?”
Arthur glanced at the dead bodies on the ground, courtesy of Rudy.
