Quindon directly brought Jared into the secret realm of Evil Heart Sect and reminded him, “The dungeon is behind the hill, but to get to the dungeon, you’ll have to pass through three arcane arrays. You must find a way to control a member of Evil Heart Sect and have them take you inside. We cannot approach the dungeon ourselves, so you’re on your own now.
Tanner might not be here at the moment, but you must remain cautious. If there’s any disturbance in the arcane arrays, Tanner will sense it. I need to hurry to the secret realm of Divine Quest Sect to avoid arousing Tanner’s suspicion. You need to act swiftly.” After giving his instructions, Quindon left.
He needed to find a way to delay Tanner to prevent him from locating Jared.
Once Quindon was gone, Jared started observing the terrain..
He noticed a courtyard at the foot of the mountain. Concealing his aura, he walked over, knowing that there must be members of Evil Heart Sect inside.
Being unfamiliar with the layout and the locations of the three arcane arrays, Jared did not dare to rush into his rescue mission. Upon arriving outside the courtyard, he heard a familiar voice.
The person let out a haughty laugh and said, “Today is the day the Spiritual Energy Restoration Formation will be activated. Once the spiritual energy is restored, we’ll no longer be confined to this tiny secret realm. The entire mundane world will be under our control!”
“Mr. Malphas, will Lord Tanner really reward the purple-robed emissaries with lands and titles once the spiritual energy is restored? It seems like those individuals hold a higher rank than you within the sect,” one of the sect members remarked.
Malphas responded with a cold snort, “Those few individuals are nothing more than resources of Lord Tanner. How could he possibly grant them titles and positions? Once the spiritual energy is restored, Lord Tanner will turn them into his cultivation resources. We’re the true core members of Evil Heart Sect and Lord Tanner’s confidants!”
As Jared listened to Malphas’ words, he realized Quindon had not deceived him. It seems Tanner doesn’t consider the purple-robed emissaries as his own people.
Aware of the urgency of the situation, Jared did not linger to hear more. He strode directly into the courtyard.
With Jared’s current skills, dealing with Malphas and the few Evil Heart Sect members present would be a piece of cake.
“Who are you? How dare you barge into Evil Heart Sect?” one of the sect members bellowed when he saw Jared walking into the courtyard.
Malphas quickly stood up and looked over, freezing in place as he recognized Jared. “Jared Chance?” His face was filled with astonishment.
The other sect members were just as stunned when they heard his name. They never expected that Jared would dare to come to the secret realm of Evil Heart Sect.
“You’ve planned everything so well, but do you think you can take others for fools? Are they really that naive?” Jared sneered indifferently.
“Jared, w-what are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be in Divine Quest Sect’s secret realm? Your girlfriend is still there. Don’t you want to rescue her?” Malphas asked in utter confusion.
“Of course I will, but not now. I have a more important matter to attend to right now.” Jared’s aura instantly burst forth, overwhelming everyone in the courtyard. They struggled to catch their breath under the terrifying pressure.
Sensing the horrifying aura emanating from Jared, both Malphas and the other sect members were petrified. They could not believe Jared’s current strength had reached such terrifying heights.
“Stop him. I’ll contact Lord Tanner right now!” Malphas quickly gave orders to the other. members, instructing them to prevent Jared from advancing any further while he informed Tanner about the intruder.
Just as Malphas was about to turn and run away, a radiant light flashed across Jared’s body. Immediately after, the sword spirit, Zelda, emerged.
“Zelda, I’ll leave those small fries to you,” Jared said. With a swift leap, Jared positioned himself directly in front of Malphas, blocking his way.
