“Ms. Murray!” Levian was struck with immense shock and fright.
With a pained expression, Jemima said, “Mr. Levian, I’m afraid my current physical condition won’t allow me to return anytime soon!”
Seeing the situation, Levian couldn’t help but sigh. “You’ve used the Demon Slaying Holy Light, destroyed the Murray Spear, and now you’re injured and can’t return. How am I supposed to explain this to Mr. Murray?”
“Mr. Levian, please return first and reassure my father. After a few days of recuperating from my injuries, I’ll return on my own!” Jemima said.
“Ms. Murray, you’re injured because of us. We will take full responsibility for your treatment, providing all the necessary resources until you are completely healed. As for your safety, I will personally ensure it!”
Upon seeing Jemima in that state, Jared couldn’t help but feel extremely guilty.
“Mr. Levian, since Mr. Chance has said as much, you can rest assured and return home!” Jemima said to Levian.
Levian hesitated for a moment before finally nodding and saying, “All right. Ms. Murray, you must be careful!”
Upon finishing his words, Levian gave a gentle wave. A streak of lightning cut through the void, causing the void to tremble. Swallowed by the darkness, Levian’s figure vanished in an instant.
“Let’s head back as well…”
Jared, along with the others, dragged their weary bodies back to Rhino City.
As for Thorley, Jared did not let go. He intended to use Thorley as leverage against Braxton. If Jared were to release Thorley, Braxton could launch an attack the next day.
If that were to happen, Jared would have nothing to fight back.
Upon returning to Rhino City, the first thing Jared did was to handle Reidan’s body. As for Gillian, had long since self-destructed, reduced to ashes, leaving not even a corpse behind.
Though hadn’t known Reidan for a very long time, Jared had always considered a buddy. Flaxseed was also visibly upset. Over time, had grown to accept Reidan.
Jared stared at Reidan’s lifeless body, his gaze as cold as ice as said, “Buddy, may your journey ahead be peaceful… I will avenge you, rest assured… I’ll kill everyone in Celestial Palace’s Eighth Hall…”
“All right. It’s all fated to happen, so don’t blame yourself!” Flaxseed gave Jared a pat on the shoulder.
A moment later, the two of them had laid Reidan’s body to rest. Unlike Gillian, Reidan was fortunate because still had a body that could be buried.
There was even a chance for reincarnation and to start life anew. However, after the self-destruct, the body would be wiped out, leaving absolutely no chance of reincarnation as a human being again. Therefore, some people, even in the face of death, would not choose to self-destruct.
“Go check on your father-in-law. He’s probably feeling sorrowful,” Flaxseed said.
Jared nodded, turning his gaze toward Eason. After that battle, Eason was visibly weakened. Coupled with Gillian’s death, had suffered greatly.
Upon seeing Jared arrive, Eason managed to muster a faint smile and said, “Jared, I’m fine. Having lived for so many years, I’ve long since become indifferent to life and death. You don’t need to worry about me. Just let me be alone for a few days. I need some good rest!” Jared simply nodded, turned, and walked away.
After Jared left, the sound of Eason’s sobs echoed in the room. Although Gillian was a subordinate, his loyalty was unwavering. He had even self-destructed to save Eason, which caused Eason immense distress.
Jared went to find Jemina after that.

Jemima was in a bad state, face somewhat pale. However, upon seeing Jared, still managed to squeeze out a slight smile.
“Ms. Murray, I’ll take you to a place that’s beneficial for your recovery from injuries!” Jared said to Jemima.
“Where to?” Jemima asked, puzzled.
“You’ll know once we get there!” After Jared finished speaking, stepped forward, took Jemima by the hand, and promptly entered the Pentacarna Tower with her.
When Jemima arrived in the Pentacarna Tower, was immediately stunned.
Within the Pentacarna Tower, there were countless celestial gems. The celestial energy within the tower was a thousand times more intense than the outside.
