After flying for a whole day and night, their airship finally landed in Stellaris Sect. At that moment, only the old and infirm were left, as most of the other members had headed to the Night Sea under their leader’s command.
Tyrone was left in charge while everyone was gone.
“Mr. Chance, this is as far as I can take you. I’m boarding an airship to the Night Sea right away.” Cloud informed Jared in an apologetic tone.
“Do you need my help?” Jared asked. As Stellaris Sect was a commercially focused sect, its disciples weren’t particularly strong. They would be at a disadvantage in any conflict.
“It’s fine. Similar to us, Cosmic Sect doesn’t have many powerful cultivators anyway. Besides, this is just a raid at the border. They probably didn’t send a huge party.”
Cloud turned down Jared’s offer. He knew that Jared had plenty to deal with already, and the conflict with Cosmic Sect wasn’t as serious as it sounded.
As profit was what really mattered to a commercially focused sect like Cosmic Sect they, too, wouldn’t really fight to the death.
“All right, then. Take care of yourself. Let me know if you need any help.”
Jared then handed Cloud a few communication devices.
Such simple devices could be easily created by him.
Even though Jared was curious about the Night. Sea and wanted to see it for himself and find out what magical items were hidden there, he still had more important things to take care of.
“Thank you, Mr. Chance.”
Cloud expressed his gratitude after accepting the communication devices.
Just as Jared was about to return to Imperial Beast City with Yuven and the others to seize power from Tigerus, a disciple of Stellaris Sect ran up to them.
“Mr. Stone, Mr. Seizon, I have bad news,” he reported anxiously.
“What happened?” Cloud asked with a frown.
“The team Old Mr. Seizon led to intercept the intruders from Cosmic Sect has entered the Night Sea, and the disciples who stayed back to keep watch reported that they had lost contact with Old Mr. Seizon for the past three days.”
“What? My dad has entered the Night Sea?”
Cloud panicked. As the Night Sea was extremely perilous and had plenty of cases where men had gone missing, one could only sail across it on spirit ships. Even then, one had to be extremely careful.
Cloud hadn’t expected his father to have carelessly strayed into the Night Sea in his pursuit of the intruders from Cosmic Sect. Moreover, they had lost contact with him for three whole days..
The turn of events caused him to feel at a loss. He was someone who spent his days. gallivanting and never took on any real responsibilities. The sudden disappearance of his father now placed a huge burden on his shoulders.
When he saw the look on Cloud’s face, Jared offered, “Don’t worry, Cloud. I’ll go with you to the Night Sea.”
“Mr. Chance, you…”
Cloud was well aware of how full Jared’s plate already was. “I want to see for myself what magical items the Night Sea hides as well. We might actually get lucky!” Jared replied with a smile. He did so on purpose just to ease Cloud’s concerns.
He turned to Yuven and instructed, “Yuven, take the others back to Imperial Beast City. Ensure their safety and that of Emerald Cauldron Sect…”
Now that Yuven had recovered his strength, defeating Tigerus and seizing Imperial Beast City would be a walk in the park for him.
As for Hosen, he wouldn’t dare lay a finger on Emerald Cauldron Sect if Yuven were to declare that it was under his protection.
It didn’t matter whether or not Jared went back with them. The only thing was that he couldn’t retrieve Divine Bow for the time being.
“Mr. Chance, the Night Sea is a mysterious place. You must be careful when you travel there,” Yuven reminded Jared.
