Chapter 3174Jared 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.
“Mr. Xandros, you’re too willful!” Just as Xandros was about to move in Imperial Beast City’s direction, an
elder in a white robe with a goatee showed up and blocked Xandros’ path, his facial expression stern.
At the sight of the newcomer, Xandros instantly behaved himself and flashed an awkward smile. “Mr.
Quayle, why aren’t you sleeping at this late hour? I saw someone coming out from Imperial Beast City,
and I’m worried they might be setting traps, so I’m planning to go and check it out.”
“Even if someone came out of Imperial Beast City, you should report this incident instead of acting rashly
on your own. As the prince of Norwal City, if you were captured by people from Imperial Beast City,
they’d use you to threaten King Lucian. That would put King Lucian in a difficult position,” reprimanded
the elderly man, Remus Quayle.
Xandros could only lower his head, not daring to speak anymore. It was apparent that he was scared of
Remus.
Remus was satisfied with Xandros’ submissive demeanor. He then said, “Come with me. If you’re with
me, I can still ensure your safe escape even if we do run into Yuven!”
“Okay! Let’s go take a look!” Xandros nodded excitedly. Remus turned to the general. “You can continue
patrolling. I’ll accompany Mr. Xandros to check out the situation.”
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.novelbin
