Ebenez exited the room and made his way toward Emerald Cauldron Sect's warehouse.
The disciples guarding the warehouse were all under his command, so when they saw him arriving, they didn't attempt to stop him.
Once he was inside the warehouse, Ebenez walked to a corner and opened a secret room.
The room was filled with an array of high-grade pills and various herbs, all neatly arranged.
Without any hesitation, Ebenez swiftly collected numerous pills and herbs before stashing them into a cloth bag. He then took out a charm and placed it gently on the ground.
Biting his finger, he let a drop of blood fall onto the charm. Soon, the intricate arcane array inscribed on the charm began to glow with radiant light. Stepping into the arcane array, Ebenez's body gradually faded from view.
When he emerged again, he found himself in a pitch-black space, surrounded by flowing black mist. In front of him stood a man engulfed in what seemed like burning flames, watching him silently.
“Has the time finally come?” The man spoke slowly, addressing Ebenez.
Ebenez shook his head. “No, but I need to utilize you ahead of schedule. I need you to kill someone for me.”
“Kill someone?” The man froze briefly, and he appeared somewhat surprised as he asked, “Who do you want me to kill?”
“Faiyar, I saved your life and nurtured you for all these years so that you would obey my commands without question. Whatever task I assign you, you will execute it without hesitation, understood?” Ebenez's response was cold and firm.
Faiyar didn't reply to that, but the flames around him intensified, clearly showing his dissatisfaction. Despite so, he managed to keep his emotions in check and refrained from erupting in anger.
Seeing Faiyar's reaction, Ebenez felt satisfied and tossed the herbs and pills he held in his hand toward him.
“Here, these are Emerald Cauldron Sect's top-grade pills and herbs. Naturally, I won't let you work for nothing. Once I become the sect leader, there will be no need for you and your kind to hide anymore. Right now, you demons are nothing more than despised vermins. If it weren't for me back then, you and your subordinates would have died a miserable death!” Ebenez proclaimed.
