“Hmph! Does he really think a mere arcane array like this is enough to stop me? They must’ve forgotten what I specialize in!” Great Diviner said disdainfully while snapping his fingers.
The sky above them turned dark as thunderclouds covered it entirely. A few flashes of lightning then struck Jared’s arcane array, shattering it instantly. The spiritual energy chains that were binding them, too, disappeared after that..
“A puny arcane array like this can’t possibly stop Master, who has the ability to peek into the Heavenly Law and alter the course of fate!” “Exactly! It’s funny how these guys think they can get away from Master!”
“I doubt there’s a single person out there who can beat Master’s divination art!” Great Diviner’s disciples were quick to shower him with compliments.
“All right, that’s enough! I only know a few tricks. or two, so I’m not that powerful!” Despite what Great Diviner said, he actually felt. pleased after hearing those compliments.
It was human nature to enjoy being complimented, and Great Diviner was no exception. Jared was in the middle of gathering some herbs when his body tensed up all of a sudden.
“Oh, no! Someone has broken through the arcane array and made it to the cave! Mr. Campbell is in danger!” Jared mumbled to himself and ran back to the cave as quickly as his legs could carry him..
Unfortunately, he was far too late. Great Diviner and his disciples had already found the cave. “So, I was right! They really are hiding here!” Great Diviner said with a sneer. Archer’s and Skyler’s faces turned gloomy the moment they saw Great Diviner and his disciples.
This is bad… Mr. Campbell has yet to fully recover, and Mr. Chance isn’t here either. The two of us don’t even stand a chance if Great Diviner attacks us now!
Archer stepped forward and said as politely as possible, “Our sects have no grudge against each other, Master Diviner! My master has always been respectful toward you as well, so why must you do this to us?”
“That’s right, Master Diviner! You’re so powerful that you can peek into the Heavenly Law! Someone of your status should not follow in the footsteps of commoners like Wrey!” Skyler chimed in.
They knew how much Great Diviner enjoyed being complimented and how he often called himself a half-immortal. Since fighting was not a viable option, Archer and Skyler had no choice but to try and sweet- talk their way out of this situation instead.
Sure enough, Great Diviner broke into a wide grin when he heard what they said. “Rumor has it that Matthew’s two closest disciples are exceptionally polite and obedient. It seems the rumor is true, after all. Anyway, I didn’t come here to kill your master. I only want to meet that guy named Jared Chance. He has really piqued my interest, you see…”
Archer and Skyler breathed sighs of relief when they heard that. Phew! Thank goodness he’s not here to kill us! There was no way the two would be able to fend those guys off, so Matthew would surely die if Great Diviner decided to attack.
“You’re here to see Mr. Chance? Please comer on in, Master Diviner!” Matthew’s voice rang out from inside the cave. Great Diviner was about to make his way into the cave when one of his disciples stopped him. and said, “Be careful, Master! This could be a trap!”
As Great Diviner paused in his tracks, Matthew spoke up once again. “Master Diviner is able to see the future, so he already knows if this is at trap. Isn’t that right, Master Diviner?”
Sure enough, Great Diviner’s huge ego got to him after he heard that. He shot his disciple a fierce glare and yelled, “F*ck off! I know if this is a trap!”
After scolding his disciple, Great Diviner turned around and continued making his way into the cave. “Have a seat, Master Diviner,” Matthew said politely when he saw Great Diviner.
