Chapter 1553 Got A Few Questions For You
The Grand Elder was shocked as he didn’t expect Jared to take that tone with him. “You sure talk big for someone so young! Looks like I’ll have to teach you a lesson…”
The Grand Elder then motioned at the palace guards, prompting two of them to charge forward.
The palace guards yelled as they slashed at Jared with their swords. Ha! These two have such low cultivation levels that they wouldn’t be able to hurt me even if I don’t use Golem Body!
Jared had strengthened himself physically to the point where he could withstand attacks from Martial Arts Grandmasters.
Clang! Clang! Their swords snapped in half the moment they came into contact with Jared’s body, much to the surprise of the two palace guards.
Even the Grand Elder frowned in shock and disbelief.
“You guys can’t hurt me at all…”
With a calm look on his face, Jared gently waved his hand at them and sent them flying with a blast of martial energy.
At that very moment, Jared was like an immortal facing a bunch of mortals.
“Hmph! Not bad! Looks like you’ve got some moves, after all! All of you, attack him together!” the Grand Elder shouted sternly.
In just a matter of seconds, dozens of palace guards were charging at Jared with their weapons drawn.
Jared responded by unleashing his aura, forcing the palace guards onto their knees with the sheer pressure of it.
The Grand Elder went wide-eyed in incredulity.
“We’re from the palace! King Duncan won’t forgive you if you so much as lay a finger on us!” he threatened while trembling all over.
“Ha! I could kill that king of yours in one strike! Do you really think I’d be afraid of him?” Jared replied with a sneer as he unleashed the full power of his aura.
The pressure was so strong that the Grand Elder fell to his knees before he even realized what was going on.
“W-What the… Y-You’re in the Nascent Soul phase?”
The Grand Elder’s eyes were filled with fear as he stared at Jared as though he was some kind of monster.
Jared, on the other hand, found the Grand Elder’s response to seeing a Nascent Soul cultivator a little odd.
Nascent Soul is a very low cultivation level, though. Why is he so surprised by it? Is what Flaxseed said about Diego being the only person here who has achieved the Nascent Soul phase true? Are these people unable to achieve it no matter how hard they try? Maybe I should ask this Grand Elder about that. He’s been living here long enough and works in the palace, so he must know the secrets of this island.
With that in mind, Jared stopped unleashing his aura and allowed the Grand Elder and his men to catch their breaths.
“Tell your men to stand down. I have some questions for you,” Jared said.
Too scared to even hesitate, the Grand Elder waved at the palace guards and ordered, “S-Stand down, all of you!”
The palace guards quickly backed away, leaving Jared and the Grand Elder at the scene.
“I’m going to ask you a few questions, and you are going to answer them honestly. Is that understood?” Jared asked coldly.
Terrified by Jared’s cultivation level, the Grand Elder replied with fear written all over his face, “Y-Yes, please rest assured that I will tell you everything I know!”
“Good. Tell me, do you guys not have Nascent Soul cultivators here on Encanta Island?” Jared asked.
The Grand Elder swallowed nervously as he replied, “We did. Our previous king Diego Duncan was the one and only Nascent Soul cultivator here. However, he was invited somewhere a few months ago and hasn’t returned ever since. I heard he was killed by a guy named Jared Chance. His brother, Terrell Duncan, has inherited the throne and is the current king here. His cultivation level is only Golden Core, though.”
Jared sneered when he heard the Grand Elder mention his name. Heh… Good thing the people of Encanta Island don’t know who I am!
