Chapter 2681 Who Is There


    Over at Ghaylen''s base at Emerald Cauldron Sect, there had been no news about Jared even after


    two days had passed since the medicinal pool closed, thus making it appear that Jared had most


    likely met his end.


    Ghaylen had thought of having Vi and Jared marry and then used Jared''s powers to help her


    take over Emerald Cauldron Sect. Now that it was unclear whether Jared was dead or alive, he


    would need to reevaluate the situation again carefully.


    “How many former disciples of my father''s are left in Emerald Cauldron Sect?” Vi asked Ghaylen.


    “Quite a number of them are left, but many years have passed. I''m just afraid they have sumbed


    to the temptation of the four cardinal vices and are in league with Hosen,” Ghaylen replied with a


    frown.


    Vi also furrowed her brows, looking troubled. After all, many would have no qualms about


    disregardingradeship where personal gains were concerned.


    “If we approach Helius for help, will he support me?” she asked. If we can get his support, taking


    control of the sect will be much easier. One word from him will leave Hosen so frightened that he


    probably won''t dare to utter any protest. As for the rest of the sect, they''ll surely listen to Helius.


    After all, everyone reveres him as though he''s a divine being.


    Ghaylen shook his head. “Helius has not concerned himself with the sect''s power struggle in a long


    time. As long as no one invades the sect and poses a threat to its disciples'' lives, he won''t


    intervene.”


    Vi fell into a contemtive silence after hearing his reply. Without Helius'' support, she did not


    know how much chance she had of killing Hosen and reiming Emerald Cauldron Sect.


    Before she realized it, her thoughts drifted to Jared. Although she had not known him for long, she


    had always felt a sense of security around him. If he were here, perhaps he''d have a n.


    Just as the pair were deep in thought, a silhouette suddenly shed past the window.


    “Who''s there?” Ghaylen demanded loudly, startled. We can''t let Vi''s identity be exposed, and


    now, we''ve just discovered someone outside the window. If word of her identity gets out, it''ll be


    impossible for her to escape from here, let alone seize power from Hosen. If Hosen finds out she''s


    alive, he''ll stop at nothing to kill her!


    “No need to freak out, Ghaylen. It''s me.” At that moment, Ebenez opened the door and walked in.


    “Ebenez?” Ghaylen looked bbergasted.


    Ebenez turned to Vi and gave a slight bow. “Greetings, Ms. Vi.”


    “W-Why are you here?” She also looked shocked. After all, they were at Ghaylen''s base, and


    Ebenez never went there.


    Ghaylen''s aura was already starting to surge. He was ready to attack Ebenez at any moment.


    Vi''s identity could not be revealed.


    Ebenez was powerful, but Ghaylen had Vi, an elite in the Body Fusion Realm, on his side. With


    her powers and Ghaylen''sbined, they could very well be a match for Ebenez.


    Sensing Ghaylen''s mounting murderous intent, Ebenez hurriedly smiled and said, “That''s


    unnecessary, Ghaylen. If I wanted to expose her identity, Hosen would''ve already known on the day


    the medicinal pool opened.”


    As it turned out, Ebenez had already started being suspicious of Vi''s identity the day the


    medicinal pool opened.


    Although she had altered her appearance and voice, there were some auras one possessed that


    one had no way of changing.

    “Ebenez, what are you doing here?” Ghaylen asked coldly.
