“Mr. Fairchild, let’s hurry inside,” someone urged Emiliano. “Okay, but everyone needs to be careful. The Narcissus Palace ancient ruins are extremely dangerous, and we don’t want to lose our lives.”
Emiliano led the group into the palace. At the same time, the guardian of Scorching. Heaven Sect, Elgado, was still looking for the ancient ruins. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.
“What’s the matter?” someone asked. The guardian, Elgado, furrowed his brows and said, “Damn it. The Twin Grim Reapers have been killed.”
“What? The Twin Grim Reapers have been killed? How is that possible? They’re both Fourth Level Martial Arts God and Fifth Level Martial Arts God when combined! If not the old geezers from the other sects, who could have killed them so easily?” someone asked incredulously.
“I reckon it’s someone from Stormwind Sect. They have Garthor. Even though he’s young, he’s already a Fifth Level Martial Arts God. Besides, I heard that he modified his genes and became immortal. If the Twin Grim Reapers encountered him, they wouldn’t have a chance. to survive!” the guardian said gravely. Everyone’s faces turned solemn, and they fell silent.
Elgado glanced at everyone before turning to a thin old man who held a token. “Luol, you stay here and use an arcane array to block the people from Stormwind Sect. We have to find the ancient ruins of Narcissus Palace before they do. I have an Invigorating Pill here. Take it when you’re at a critical juncture, and you’ll be able to survive!”
Elgado intended to delay the people from Stormwind Sect so that they could locate the ancient ruins of Narcissus Palace first. What he didn’t know was that Emiliano from Stormwind Sect had already found the ruins and that it wasn’t Garthor who killed the Twin Grim Reapers but Jared.
However, because Jared was not present in the hidden realm, many people did not know of his existence. Hence, they wouldn’t associate him. with the incident.
Luol did not hesitate. He accepted the Invigorating Pill and said to Elgado, “Don’t worry. Even if I die, I can still hold them back. They won’t be able to leave my arcane array for at least eight to ten days.”
Luol was quite confident in his magecraft. “Don’t let your guard down. Although Stormwind Sect may not be proficient in magecraft, they may employ magecraft masters to do their bidding. Your job is to stop them. Avoid conflicts if possible,” Elgado said to Luol.
“Understood.” Luol nodded. Elgado led the group to continue the search of the ancient ruins while Luol inserted his token. into the ground and began to gesture hand seals with both hands. The ground began to shake.
Soon, the scenery around him changed. The dense forest disappeared, and a small stream: appeared, with many people living by the banks of the stream.
Not far away was a towering mountain range that stretched for thousands of miles. It seemed to be connected to the sky. At this moment, Luol was sitting on a large rock with a dry tobacco pipe in his mouth..
Many people were working, and children were playing around him. Looking at everything around him, Luol smirked. He was becoming more and more satisfied with his magecraft.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest, Jared and Skyler were still searching for the location of the ancient ruins of Narcissus Palace because they had no idea where it was located either.
Jared’s spiritual sense was severely restricted within the forest, so he could only search within a few miles. As they walked among the towering trees, they felt increasingly oppressed the longer they were in the forest.
Skyler’s face turned pale. She felt as if she was suffocating. She was desperate to get out of the forest.
