Jared casually tossed the charms in his hand toward the sky. A few balls of flame erupted the next second, and the charms slowly descended in all directions. Jared muttered, “Sever the entry paths of all intruders!”
Immediately afterward, he waved his hand, unleashing a ray of golden light all around. The few burning charms all burrowed into the ground like moles. Soon,tranquility was restored, and the scene reverted to its initial state, as if nothing had occurred.
Cloud, standing at one side and watching Jared setting up the arcane array, felt the green-eyed monster rearing its ugly head within him.
He couldn’t fathom how Jared could be so strong and simultaneously proficient in so many skills. Could this be a matter of innate talent?
While Jared was establishing the arcane array, Xandros quietly observed the scene on a large boulder not far away.
“Mr. Xandros, someone has emerged from Imperial Beast City, and there was even a flash of light earlier. Whether they’re out to collect the corpses or set traps is uncertain. Should we inform King Lucian for him to make a decision on our next move?” a general in armor whispered to Xandros.
“That won’t be necessary. Father has already retired for the night, so let’s not disturb him over such a trifle. We’ll investigate the situation ourselves.” Xandros waved his hand dismissively.
“Mr. Xandros, King Lucian had issued the order to forbid you from getting close to Imperial Beast City. It’ll be troublesome if you encounter any danger,” the general persuaded Xandros.
“What danger could there be? Besides Yuven, there are no other Tribulator cultivators in Imperial Beast City, so what is there to fear? Unless Yuven himself leaves the city, no one can lay a finger on me,” Xandros retorted confidently.
“Mr. Xandros, I still think it’s better if we report to King Lucian.” The general didn’t dare take the risk. If any mishaps were to befall Xandros, he would be doomed.
“You’re such a useless coward! You actually call yourself a general? As a Top Level Body Fusion Realm cultivator, what are you afraid of? If you won’t go, I’ll head over by myself!” Xandros rebuked in displeasure, prepared to head toward Imperial Beast City on his own.
The general nodded and quickly left. Evidently, Remus’ status was much higher than that of the general.
Subsequently, Remus and Xandros started walking toward Imperial Beast City.
After laying out the arcane array, Jared thoroughly inspected it to ensure it wasn’t easily detectable, then prepared to return with Cloud.
However, just as Jared was about to call Cloud to leave, the latter suddenly shouted at the nearby bushes, “Who’s there!”
Jared’s heart skipped a beat. He had been focused on setting up the arcane array earlier and wasn’t paying attention to his surroundings. Unexpectedly, he didn’t notice someone approaching. Fortunately, Cloud was there to stand guard, and he managed to discover the intruders.

Josephine's first time seeing Jared kill isn't with Leyton but with Falcon. Pay attention to your work....
You need to correct yourself,dear author. Josephine was in the City of Herbs when she was a kid, so why is the city's smell surprising to her?...
I need more chapters...
When can I get the next chapter...
