Chapter 1761Upon hearing that, Jared rolled his eyes. Everyone knew destroying an arcane array’s core could
dismantle the whole thing in an instant because that was the weakest part of every array. However, the
difficulty lay in finding the core.
As though he had read Jared’s mind, Gilbert speedily added, “Every charm corresponds to an arcane
array, and Mr. Flaxseed is a charm master. If you can find him, perhaps he’ll locate the core for you or
directly break the arcane array.”
When Jared heard that, his eyes lit up. Indeed, every charm has a unique effect because the arcane
array on those charms is different! For example, if I can attach Death Trap Formation or Mountain
Defense Formation to a charm, the charm will be able to unleash that specific effect! However, of
course, not everyone’s capable of that ability.
While someone may be able to set up an arcane array, they may not necessarily be capable of drawing
runic talismans and transplanting the effects onto a charm. The reverse is the same. Flaxseed may be
capable of drawing runic talismans, and his charm spells are nearly invincible, but that doesn’t mean he
can set up a Mountain Defense Formation if someone asks him to!
Everything is connected, yet starkly different. I think I understand everything now. After I execute Jake
in public the next day, I’ll visit Flaxseed. If Flaxseed can’t help, I’ll head to Skywrath Sect’s ancient
ruins. Maybe we’ll get lucky there. With a blood demon around, I don’t need to worry about the traps in
the ruins because the demon is like a walking tank.
The next morning, a sea of people gathered in the martial arts arena because Jared had decided to
hold Jake’s execution there. Jake would be the first president of Warriors Alliance to be executed.
Usually, the authorities would prevent that kind of display. After all, Jared’s Deragon Sect was just a
sect. It didn’t have the authority to kill the president of Warriors Alliance in public.However, the authorities didn’t even make a peep. Although, the crowd understood why the authorities
stayed silent, given Jared’s relationship with Arthur.
Jared personally dragged Jake out of the dungeon in Deragon Sect. Jake’s countenance paled, for he
already knew his fate.
“Y-You can’t kill me, Jared. I can tell you many more secrets Warriors Alliance was hiding!” he
exclaimed, trembling in fear, Jared was stunned to hear that. “What other secrets do you know?”
“I’ll tell you if you promise not to kill me first.” Icily, Jared questioned, “Do you think you’re in a position
to negotiate?”
Upon witnessing Jared’s frigid demeanor, Jake hesitated, gritted his teeth, and uttered, “Okay, I’ll tell
you. I hope you’ll let me go…”
novelbinRight before Jake could reveal the secrets, ant old man’s voice rang out. “You have some nerve to call
the surface-level information you know ‘secrets.”
Both Jared and Jake promptly turned in the direction of the voice and saw a hunched old man. They
had no idea how long the old man had been standing behind them.
Jared was shocked. “Who are you? How did you get in here?”
Right now, Deragon Sect is heavily guarded. There’s no way a stranger could’ve entered this place
easily. Yet, I didn’t detect his presence at all, even though he was right behind me! How powerful is this
old man?
“How I got in isn’t important. What’s important is that this Black Silver Robe brings shame to Warriors
Alliance for being this afraid of death.” The old man sighed and shook his head. Frowning, Jared
questioned, “Are you a member of Warriors Alliance?”Meanwhile, Jake was so terrified that his expression changed drastically. He had no idea who the
hunched old man was because whenever there was a meeting in Warrior’s Alliance, everyone who
attended wore a black robe. Therefore, no one knew who each other was.
