Skylar realized that he had been confined inside a cell. He also noticed that that cell seemed to be inside a cave. A person with a slender figure sat outside the wooden planks, meditating.
The slender body that curved elegantly belonged to Kendall Jones.
Kendall was a beautiful woman. She and her sister, Lindsay, were crowned the most beautiful sisters in the Five Poison Sect. After Kendall swallowed the ancient poisonous centipede's inner core, she seemed to have become even more charming.
At that moment, she was in a long, crimson dress that showed off her alluring body. Any man who had the pleasure to witness would have a hard time peeling their eyes off her.
Kendall opened her eyes and smiled when she noticed Skylar had woken from his slumber. She stood up and approached the wooden cell slowly.
Kendall unlocked the cell and stared at Skylar. With a scornful tone, she said, "Sect Master! You're awake."
"Don't you dare call me your sect master." Skylar took a deep breath and continued to say coldly, "Kendall Jones, I've been nothing but good to you. I can't believe you'd ambush me and even steal my Power of the Fiend Soul. Archfiend Antigonus will never forgive you once he finds out about this."
Skylar's eyes were ablaze with fiery rage. However, he was still too weak even to sound intimidating.
Kendall chuckled when she sensed Skylar's fury. She looked at him and said, "My dear sect master, you've truly been nothing but good to me, and I've always been loyal to you as well.
"You know I've wanted to kill Darryl Darby and the Carter family, and you had promised to let me do so. But you delayed it over and over again. Which is why I have no other choice."
Skylar's eyes darkened as he responded calmly, "Since things have progressed up to this point, I don't have anything else to say to you. I just want to know your true intentions for capturing me."
Kendall smiled as her eyes sparkled. "My dear sect master, you're a hero. Do you not know my intentions for capturing you?"
Kendall continued as her tone got progressively colder. "It's because I've absorbed your Power of the Fiend Soul, and as a mortal human being, my body could not take such a powerful energy. However, I know that you have a solution for that. Am I right?"
Kendall looked at Skylar, anticipating his answer as the air inside the cave shifted.
