“A poison veil?” Hamish was dumbfounded. Then, he turned to Hyrum with an expression of complete disbelief, his voice trembling as he spoke. “This poison veil is artificially created?”
“Hahaha! Just figuring that out, are you? There's no such thing as a poison veil in Mount Crimson. It was all my doing to instigate cultivators to turn on each other so that I could reap the benefits!” Hyrum chuckled.
“Mr. Goeckner, these two consumed detoxification pills, so I'm afraid the poison veil won't affect them.” After stating this, Rostom produced the detoxification pill crafted by Jared and handed it to Hyrum.
Rostom had refrained from consuming the pill previously made by Jared because it wasn't necessary. Having taken the detoxification pill from Hyrum, he was immune to the poison veil. Thus, there was no need for him to take Jared's prepared detoxification pill.
Hyrum accepted the detoxification pill and scrutinized it closely. After a few moments, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. “Who concocted this pill? I didn't expect such a high-level alchemist to be part of this group.”
Rostom replied, “It was crafted by someone named Jared. His alchemy skills are truly impressive.”
“Jared?” Xanthus, standing on the side, was momentarily taken aback by the name. He promptly grabbed Rostom by the collar. “Is this Jared you mentioned in his twenties?”
Rostom didn't recognize Xanthus, and the latter's rude behavior displeased him. “Who are you? Let go of me! Why should I tell you anything?”
“Rostom, this is Elder Fabrizio of Soulless Hall. You must answer whatever questions he asks you,” Hyrum instructed.
Learning Xanthus' identity as an elder, Rostom quickly changed his tone. “That's correct. This Jared appears to be in his twenties, and he's accompanied by a man and a woman. Furthermore, that woman is a celestial beast, a phoenix.”
“That's him! Take me to him immediately!” Following an order from the Demon Seal Alliance, Xanthus had to eliminate Jared as soon as possible.
“They might be dead by now. When I came over, those people were surrounded by the silver tigers. I suspect they've likely been devoured by now,” Rostom responded.
“I don't care if he's dead or alive. Even if he's dead, I need to see his corpse.” In that case, Xanthus had to retrieve Jared's body to fulfill his mission.
