The Man’s Decree

Listening to Carlo, Jared couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration. This guy was not only smart but also content, aware of what he could achieve.

The position of the sect leader of Duad Formation Sect was something that could be vied for, but the hundred-year offering to the Demon-Sealing Alliance was something that Carlo neither desired, nor had the strength to claim.

“Let’s go…” Jared planned to accompany Carlo to Duad Formation Sect.

No sooner had Jared’s words fallen, than an eerie presence suddenly enveloped them from above.

Jared was taken aback, he had been so sure that Carlo wouldn’t dare to deceive him, yet he was caught off guard so quickly.

“You dare to deceive me…”

Jared’s eyes were wide open, his face utterly bewildered by Carlo’s actions.

“No no, this is…”

Carlo was also wide-eyed in shock, his words abruptly cut off as several beams of light swiftly struck his body.

With a roll of his eyes, Carlo passed out right then and there.

Upon witnessing this scene, Jared was taken aback. He had initially thought that the tactics employed were set up by Carlo specifically against him.

However, the fact that this arcane array was directly targeting Carlo left Jared somewhat baffled.

“Who’s there? Show yourself if you dare.”

At this moment, Jared was actually quite unsettled. The other party had silently set up an arcane array above their heads, and they didn’t even notice it.

What was even more terrifying was that Jared couldn’t even catch a glimpse of the other person’s figure.

As he spoke, an eye began to form on Jared’s forehead. He used the Nethersky Eye to check out his surroundings.

Jared wanted to see what method the other party was using that made them unable to see. It couldn’t have been a mere Invisibility Technique. If it were, there would be no way to conceal their aura.

It was possible to perceive through one’s aura, the Invisibility Technique could only deceive the eyes, but it was utterly incapable of fooling one’s spiritual sense.

Accompanying his lack of action, Jared surprisingly discovered a strangely shaped charm floating above his head. Jared seized it with all his might, and then a surge of intense flame rose up, turning the charm into ashes.

However, something peculiar struck Jared. After the charm turned into ashes, those ashes slowly fell down, only to transform back into a charm.

Jared’s internal flame turned out to be in vain. He failed to destroy the charm.

With furrowed brows, his heart grew increasingly uneasy.

At the same time, a surge of internal flame erupted from his palm, filling the area several feet in front of him with internal flame.

With the fire fusion technique, the power of Jared’s internal flame had significantly increased.

However, it was now so peculiar that not even a single charm could be burned.

As he fired the internal flame, Jared also heightened his alertness.

“You punk, are you trying to burn me alive?” As an ancient voice echoed, the surrounding internal flame were extinguished.

An elderly man with a slight hunchback appeared, wrapped entirely in an orange garment. The attire was adorned with various unique charms.

Upon seeing the old man, Jared instantly became alert and questioned.

Unconsciously, Jared had drawn his Dragonslayer Sword, his eyes narrowing as if he were facing a formidable foe.

“Don’t be so tense,” he said. “If I had wanted to kill you, wouldn’t those rays of divine light have struck you just now? I just wanted to have a chat,” the old man said with a chuckle.

Jared remained on edge, glancing at the unconscious Carlo. Then he asked, “Do you hold a grudge against Duad Formation Sect?”

Jared had assumed that the old man was an enemy of Duad Formation Sect, which was why he had attacked Carlo.

“How can that be? I never hold grudges against anyone,” the old man exclaimed.

As Jared spoke, he simultaneously retreated.

The old man before him undoubtedly possessed an inscrutable strength that left him somewhat perplexed.

Particularly the art of that arcane array, Jared knew he simply couldn’t replicate the charms he had just seen.

For now, it didn’t matter who this old man was, Jared decided to make a run for it first.

The old man seemed to have discerned Jared’s intentions. With a casual wave of his hand, the entire hilltop was instantly enveloped by an arcane array, effectively blocking off Jared’s escape route.
