Chapter 2204“No, he’s Mr. Jagoan Chance, a martial artist who came from outside the hidden realm,” Skyler
introduced.
“A martial artist from an external realm?” Avery seemed surprised. “I didn’t expect that a martial artist
from the external realm would have the guts to come to a place like this… Hello, handsome. My name’s
Avery Lindt. So glad to meet you!”
He extended his hand to Jagoan politely.
Initially, Jagoan did not wish to shake hands with this androgynous person. However, since Avery was
so polite, Jagoan could not possibly act rudely in response. Hence, he had no choice but to shake
hands with the man.
However, upon grabbing Jagoan’s hand, Avery started stroking it with his other hand.
A wave of disgust engulfed Jagoan, who had the urge to throw up. He quickly flung Avery’s hand away.
“You’re quite strong, Jagoan!” Avery chuckled before saying, “Skyler, since we’ve already bumped into
each other, we can go together. We can take care of each other that way. There are a lot of wild beasts
inside. Let’s not get our dear Jagoan injured.”
Skyler did not know how to reply to Avery’s suggestion, so she merely looked at Jagoan, who was
trying his best not to puke out of disgust.
When no one spoke, Avery took out a geomantic compass and said, “If you follow me, you can find the
ancient ruins more quickly. On the other hand, if you just search for it randomly, you’ll take a few days.”
After hearing what Avery said, Jagoan nodded. “Okay.”
“Great! Let’s go,” exclaimed Avery happily.Just then, an elderly man in a white headscarf walked over and spoke to Avery. “Please get onto the
carriage, Mr. Lindt.”
“I’m not traveling in the carriage anymore. It’s too boring. I want to walk for a while. Go ahead and open
up a path for us,” said Avery with a wave of his hand.
At his behest, the two elderly men walked in front to open up a path. They chopped the trees aside as if
they were nothing but straws.
Throughout the journey, Avery kept trying to chat with Jagoan, his eyes gleaming with affection.
Jagoan could do nothing but steady his breath, willing himself to enter a meditative state like during his
cultivation. Otherwise, he would have vomited long ago.
Skyler burst out laughing when she saw Jagoan forcing himself to remain calm.
However, with Avery’s and the geomantic compass’ guidance, Jagoan and the rest left the forest
quickly.
Soon, a majestic palace emerged in front of them.
Not only was the palace enormous, but it also kept extending backward like there was no limit. No one
knew how far the palace extended. It was evident how powerful those from the Narcissus Palace were
to be able to construct such magnificent architecture in the heart of the mountains.
“So these are the ancient ruins of Narcissus Palace… How awe-inspiring!” exclaimed Skyler when she
witnessed the scene in front of her.
“Narcissus Palace used to be an extremely powerful clan. Even if all the three sects and six clans in the
hidden realm were to combine forces, they could never surpass Narcissus Palace. It’s actually not a big
deal for them to have the capability to build this,” said Avery calmly.Evidently, he had read up on the history of Narcissus Palace before coming.
“There’s an arcane array in front of Narcissus Palace. We’ll have to deactivate it before we enter,” Luol
chimed in at that moment.
“An arcane array?” Avery scoffed coldly. “What kind of arcane array would be strong enough to stop
me?”
novelbinAfter a brief pause, he said to Jagoan, “Follow me, Jagoan. I’ll guarantee your safety. No arcane array
would be able to harm you.”
Jagoan did not comment on Avery’s revolting behavior. Instead, he walked toward the ancient ruins of
Narcissus Palace directly. He also knew that there was an arcane array. All that needed to be done
was to deactivate it.
As he and the rest approached the ruins of the palace, the space around them trembled, and they were
transported to another dimension.

At that moment, Emiliano, who was still trapped in the arcane array, sensed the air around him
fluctuate. Thereafter, a bunch of people appeared.
