The Four Divine Beasts Clan held a grand carnival feast.
Jason only gave a perfunctory response; he was more worried about the movements of the Dark Nether Snake Family Nether Snake Family, whose previous attitude towards him had left him somewhat uneasy.
Gaiseresen patted Jason on the shoulder. "Brother Jason, don't worry. Even if the Eight Great Clans join forces, our Four Divine Beasts Clan can't stop them. But we're not afraid of the Nether Serpent family alone."
Having spent this time together, the Four Divine Beasts Clan have come to accept Jason as a friend. After staying here for so many days, Jason feels that the Four Divine Beasts Clan, after this setback, are no longer as arrogant as outsiders say, and are now acceptable allies.
"Then you'll have Gaiseresen's protection during this time."
"Not at all."
Three days later, Linley had fully adapted to the realm of Highgod, and several friends gathered together.
"I plan to tour Infernal Realm first, and once Lord Beirut has completed the Divine Spark Weapon he promised me, I'll go to the Yulan Continent to bring my family and friends over," Linley told those around him, outlining his plans.
"Indeed, after arriving in the Infernal Realm, we were initially focused on coming to the Skyrite Mountains, and then the family war broke out. We didn't have a chance to properly explore Infernal Realm." Delia agreed with her husband's plan.
Monica said, "I wonder how Bebe and Sister Clear Spring are doing? Should we bring them along?"
As Beirut's grandson, Bebe went to Indigo City after getting married, instead of staying in the Skyrite Mountains.
Jason thought about the matter on the Yulan Continent and decided it was best to tell Linley in advance. It was understandable before because of the various urgent matters, but if he kept it a secret now, he might be blamed by Linley later.
"Um, Linley, when my Water Clone was still on the Yulan Continent, some Deity-level from the Gebados Plane escaped. I didn't have time to stop them, which resulted in some casualties."
Upon hearing this, those around him anxiously asked, "Who's in trouble?" and kept asking for the names of their relatives, fearing that something had happened to one of them.
Jason pressed his hands down, saying somewhat helplessly, "With Doehring Cowart's protection, the important members were saved, but there were also quite a few casualties. Why don't you all go back to the Yulan Continent?"
The people around us looked at each other, all a little worried.
The next day, Linley led a group of people to the Indigo Prefecture, partly to bring Bebe along, and partly to say goodbye to Beirut.
Jason sent his Lightning Clone with Linley, while the other clones remained in the Infernal Realm under the pretext of "providing necessary protection for the Rhine Clan."
Jason actually had another task to complete: collecting the "Nine Spirit Orbs."
However, this matter cannot be done openly. Freya's previous claim of "protecting" him had already made Jason realize that he had been noticed by some of the Sovereign. Freya's protection was more about her wanting to get some benefits from Jason.
As for the reason, it is of course the Four Divine Beast Bloodline. This is a treasure that can enhance the power of Lower Sovereign by hundreds or thousands of times, and its value is no less than that of Overgod Artifact!
That is why Jason dared not kill the "Lord of Tianshan Prefecture" without a reason.
Jason is currently in Moonwheel City, reviewing information on renowned powerhouses and major forces across the Blood Peak Continent. Of course, Jason's ultimate goal is to find a plausible excuse to obtain the Nine Spirit Orbs, while also eliminating them all.
He didn't want to be interrogated by a group of Sovereign like Linley in the original story.
As for the Amethyst Iron Crown and the Red Caltryp Diamond, their fate largely depends on Linley's luck. If Linley fails to obtain them due to Jason's influence, they can reconsider. As for the whereabouts of the Red Caltryp Diamond, Jason speculates that it shouldn't deviate too much from the original story. It's not too late to start investigating after Linley returns from the Planar Battlefield.
"Lord Jason, busy with official business again?" a soft, sweet voice called out.
Jason looked over and saw that it was indeed the Sovereign Freya, who was walking towards him with Delisha in tow.
Jason had previously revealed Freya's identity to Delisha, since she hadn't asked him to keep it a secret. Judging from Delisha's expression, Freya had been causing quite a stir these past few days.
In reality, although Freya had previously claimed that "Jason is her toy," she hadn't done anything too outrageous to Jason during this time. Instead, she was still entangled with Delisha.
"I'd like to familiarize myself with the information on the powerful figures of the Blood Peak Continent."
"Getting ready for a trip?" Freya suddenly leaned in, her face almost touching Jason's.
Jason said calmly, "With this plan in place, I'm now considered a high-ranking member of the Infernal Realm, so I can't have been to the Blood Peak Continent without ever having visited it."
"Hehehe, want to come along?" Freya leaned closer, blinking her eyes, her fragrance filling Jason's nostrils. "Just the three of us, don't tell your wife."
Is this considered an order?
What if I say no?
"I need to speak with my wife first," Jason said sincerely.
Freya, hands on her hips, said, "I never expected you to be so afraid of your wife."
This is a sign of respect!
"Now this is an order! Let's go on a trip together! Three people!"
Jason still told his wife, and Veronica seemed to realize something as well, so she didn't stop him.
"It's good that I'm staying in the city for a while to cultivate in seclusion. My strength is far inferior to yours, and it's inconvenient for us to go out together," Veronica said with a smile.
Monica's family also went to the Yulan Continent with Linley others. Fortunately, Linda and the others were still there, so Veronica wasn't alone in Moonwheel City.
With Freya around, Jason certainly wouldn't cause trouble for the Lord of Tianshan Prefecture during this time. In fact, to avoid Freya noticing anything amiss, he planned to postpone the operation.
Ten years later.
Since it was a journey, they wandered around various regions, which was much slower than the previous purposeful clan relocation. It took them ten years to finally reach Tianshan Prefecture in the southern part of the Blood Peak Continent.
"Why did you come here specifically?" Jason asked casually.
Delisha frowned as she looked down at Tianshan Prefecture below the Metallic Airship. For the past ten years, the route had been random, but this time, Freya seemed to be flying this way with a clear purpose.
"Because I want to know what's so special about Tianshan Prefecture that you're paying special attention to." Freya looked at Jason, and seeing the puzzled look on his face, she smiled and said, "You can hide it from me for a while, but we've been traveling together for ten years, and every time you look at a map you pay special attention to Tianshan Prefecture. Even if you try to hide it every time, do you think you can keep it from me for ten years?"
"Hoo." Jason exhaled a breath of stale air. Darkness Element- Sovereign, and Darkness Element Sovereign at the Paragon level at that. His insight is indeed astonishing.
"Okay, I admit it. I learned from some sources that the Lord of Tianshan Prefecture seems to possess a priceless treasure, so I wanted to see if I could steal it—" Jason spread his hands.
Freya's eyes turned bright purple as she leaned closer, her delicate tongue licking Jason's cheek.
"Lady Freya-- "
"Those words are all true, but it seems you're hiding some crucial information." Freya released Jason but didn't pursue the matter further. "Never mind, you handle your own affairs."
Jason wiped his face, trying to hide his fear with embarrassment, and said, "Actually, I just wanted to confirm whether this news was true beforehand. Besides, the Lord of Tianshan Prefecture seems to be a Sovereign's Emissary. Whether we can win or not is another matter."
Jason's words were true; the timing of the Overgod Token's release was uncertain, and it might not have been picked up by the Lord of Tianshan Prefecture yet. Even if he had, defeating the opponent and silencing him would be a major problem.
"Are we still going to Tianshan Prefecture?" Delisha was used to Freya's teasing and assumed that Jason had really gotten some news about a treasure.
Jason hadn't really wanted to come here before making his decision, because if he interfered with the proceedings and the Lord of Tianshan Prefecture failed to obtain the Nine Spirit Orbs, it would be troublesome.
However, he looked at Freya and saw that she did not respond.
"Go discreetly and try not to make a fuss."
If she didn't go, given Freya's extensive experience as the Sovereign, she would definitely become suspicious.
