Chapter 780 Haughty And Prideful
When Donald moved to cover Jared’s head, Axton stopped him. “There’s no need for him to wear it. Jared is no stranger. Once he familiarizes himself with the routes, he can always drop by whenever he wishes.”
Upon hearing this, Jared felt touched.
Following Axton’s instructions, Donald tucked the hood away.
Together, the trio head up the mountain. Throughout their entire journey, they kept on a small winding path surrounded by the thick foliage of trees. Despite the wilderness, the trail was clear, indicating that many others had traversed it before.
To any ordinary person, this journey would have been a treacherous one. Nevertheless, it was nothing but a walk in the park for Jared and the rest.
It took them one day and one night to arrive at their destination. Midway, Axton fed Lyanna a longevity pill while Jared constantly supplemented her with spiritual energy to keep her alive.
“Jared, we’ve reached the Medicine God Sect.” Axton pointed toward the far distance.
When Jared looked over, a thick layer of fog obscured his vision. But upon probing the area with his spiritual sense, he immediately sensed a valley entrance with four guards stationed in front of it.
Even without the guards, no ordinary person could have located this place unless they had the guidance of someone from the Medicine God Sect. It was like an oasis hidden from the outside world.
“Indeed, this is an excellent location. Though the mist is quite thick…” With a flick of his finger, Jared directed a beam of spiritual energy into a nearby boulder.
Promptly, the rock lit up as the surrounding mist began to fade. In mere seconds, it had vanished into thin air.
Without the mist, the entrance to the Medicine God Sect was now in plain sight. When the stationed guards caught sight of Axton, they hurried over and knelt respectfully. “Mr. Knox, welcome back,” they greeted in unison.
Even so, Axton didn’t even spare them a glance. Instead, he was staring at Jared in astonishment.
“Jared, how did you know where the core of the Medicine God Sect is?” Aston asked.
“The mist was conjured by a basic concealment array. Usually, all it takes to remove the arcane array is to locate its core.” Jared shrugged nonchalantly. “Once its core is exposed, all you have to do is destroy it.”
To Jared, disabling such a basic arcane array was nothing more but child’s play.
Despite Jared’s calm tone, Axton was still at a loss. Jared truly is a jack of all trades. Not only is he capable of fighting, but he’s also a master of alchemy and arcane arrays. He is a genius!
“I established this simple arcane array when I first founded the Medicine God Sect. Nevertheless, the most we can do with it is activate and deactivate it at will. I didn’t know that there were such secrets about the arcane array. I’ll have to learn more from you in the future,” Axton said in an earnest tone.
“Mr. Knox, you are too kind.” Axton’s praise came as a pleasant surprise for Jared. After all, Axton Knox was a man who was highly revered and respected by many. Most individuals in his position would be haughty and prideful. His humble attitude took Jared wholly by surprise.
Similarly, the four guards glanced at Jared in utter shock. I can’t believe that Mr. Knox, an elder, just sang such high praises about this young man.
Despite their surprise, they remained silent. It wasn’t every day that they got to speak with Axton, or even Donald, as they were merely footguards in charge of guarding the entrance. Hence, the four guards did not dare to act out of line.
“Mr. Knox, Mr. Chance, it’s been a long journey. Why don’t we continue our conversation inside?” Donald suggested,
“That’s right.” Axton bobbed his head in agreement. “Let me summon the rest for a meeting. We need to figure out a way to heal this young maiden’s injuries.”
With Lyanna in his embrace, Jared followed Axton and Donald into the Medicine God Sect.
