After exchanging some pleasantries with Atlas, Jared geared up to set off. He had delayed quite some time with his cultivation, so he must make haste to Demonia Mountain as soon as possible.
They did not choose to take an airship since Salinsburgh City was already near Demonia Mountain, and many cultivators would be hurrying over.
If they did, it would be too conspicuous. Jared did not want everyone’s attention to be focused on them. Having traveled for a day and night, they finally arrived on Demonia Mountain.
As soon as they stepped on Demonia Mountain, they sensed a monumental change. Moreover, a soaring mountain range lay before their eyes, stretching as far as the eye could see.
It spanned exceedingly wide, rendering them as minute as a speck of dust beneath it. Compared with Mount Crimson, which bordered the central and southern regions, it was countless times bigger.
If Demonia Mountain were to have a rule forbidding the use of airships, it would likely take ages to get out of the mountain.
Fortunately, there was no such rule on Demonia Mountain, and cultivators could fly around freely.
“What an expansive mountain range! This is my first time seeing such a huge mountain range. It’s like a giant lying on the ground!” Kiara could not help exclaiming at her first sight of Demonia Mountain.
Jared was also greatly astounded as he looked at Demonia Mountain, for its magnificence had exceeded his imagination.
In the mundane world, he had seen many mountains. However, they all paled in comparison to Demonia Mountain.
Even in the Ethereal Realm, he had seen extensive mountain ranges such as Mount Crimson and Greenoxen Peak. Yet, they could not compare with Demonia Mountain. Everyone else had not seen Demonia Mountain either, and they were all beyond excited.
After all, stepping onto Demonia Mountain was equivalent to having the chance to encounter opportunities and gain various magical items. Contrary to everyone’s excitement, Hamish frowned slightly, his expression solemn.
“Everyone, we’ve now entered the territory of Demonia Mountain. We’ll be facing many unknown dangers henceforth. You’ve all got to be on alert. Other than demon beasts, there are many Demonic Cultivators here. Demonia Mountain is the place with the most Demonic Cultivators. On top of that, countless cultivators come in search of treasures. They’re all desperadoes and will do anything at all for their interests. Thus, we must unite. No one is to take things lightly or do something that hurts the team for current interests. Otherwise, don’t blame me for showing you no mercy.”
He urged everyone to be united now that they were there. If they wanted to go at it alone, they would never be able to make it onto Demonia Mountain.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Chevalier. We’ve all had near brushes with death and are ready now.”
“Exactly. If we sought personal interests, we would’ve fled at Mount Crimson instead of fighting those Demonic Cultivators at the risk of our lives!”
“I have a feeling this time that we’ll definitely gain something with Mr. Chance here!”
Many cultivators expressed their stances, one after another. Had they all fled and abandoned Jared at Mount Crimson, the latter would likely have fallen into Xanthus’ hands.
“All you need to do is to be prepared. There’s no need to be too nervous. I’ve been here to Demonia Mountain, so I’m considerably familiar with this place. Compared to those here for the first time, we have an edge. The precise location of the battlefield of the celestials this time is still unknown, so we have to search patiently. Also, brace yourself for persevering on Demonia Mountain for an extended period,” Hamish reassured.
After all, he could not have everyone suffering a psychological breakdown before they had even entered Demonia Mountain.
The balance between the reminder and reassurance also reflected his capability as the team leader.
At the end of the day, he was considered a veteran and knew how to lead a team.
Subsequently, he led everyone into the territory of Demonia Mountain and headed toward the heart of it.
