Yuliya glanced at Jared, then slowly began to dress herself.
“Do I really have to be naked to get treated?” Yuliya muttered.
Jared didn’t offer any explanations. Instead, he simply said, “Let’s get going…”
Bianca was right behind Yuliya, explaining, “Yuliya, you were burning up just now. We had no choice
but to remove your clothes to cool you down; otherwise, your body would have been scorched. I can
assure you, Mr. Chance didn’t do anything to you. He simply helped treat you and we all witnessed it.”
Upon listening to Bianca’s words, Yuliya realized she might have been a bit too emotional earlier. She
quietly said to Jared, “Thank you…”
However, Jared did not pay her any mind and walked straight ahead.
Everyone followed Jared, heading deep into the polar region.
Several groups had already moved ahead, hence Jared and his team had to hasten their pace to
search for viable resources in the polar region.
Jared walked at a brisk pace, forcing Bianca and the others to take turns supporting Yuliya in order to
keep up with him quickly.
novelbinThroughout the journey, Jared was constantly on high alert. He was so attuned to his surroundings that
he could detect any danger in the vicinity almost instantly.
Until the sky started to dim, Jared and his companions hadn’t encountered any danger, let alone any
people.Upon noticing that Yuliya was struggling to keep going, Jared finally suggested, “Let’s rest here for the
night.”
Bianca nodded, then promptly arranged for the holy maidens to stand guard and keep watch around
the perimeter.
Yuliya, on the other hand, had collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
“This place hardly seems like the immortal’s tomb. I didn’t feel any hint of celestial energy.”
Jared glanced around, feeling somewhat puzzled inside.
If they were indeed at the immortal’s tomb, then there would undeniably be remnants of celestial
energy. Moreover, the weapons wielded by the immortals and the various magical items they wore
would surely be left behind.
The celestial energy here should be much more intense than in other places.
Yet, Jared hadn’t sensed even a hint of celestial energy.
This left Jared somewhat confused. Is this polar region really the immortal’s tomb, or is it all just a lie?
“This place is nothing like the immortal’s tomb!”
At that moment, Vermilion Demon Lord began to speak.
Vermilion Demon Lord himself has spoken. It’s clear that this place is definitely not the immortal’s tomb.
Jared couldn’t understand why Nieva would deceive him.
“Since this isn’t the immortal’s tomb, why did we come here?”Jared was utterly astonished.
“Kid, didn’t you notice the chaotic energy here? Even the entire space seems distorted. The magnetic
field here is incredibly strong. I’m afraid it will be quite difficult to take flight in such conditions,”
Vermilion Demon Lord said.
Jared furrowed his brows and leaped up.
No sooner had he done so than he felt a tremendous pull, drawing him downward.
He descended rapidly and grew even more bewildered.
Initially, they had chosen not to fly, fearing it would make them too conspicuous. Now, they were
probably stuck here, unable to fly even if they wanted to.
“Bianca…” Jared called out. He wanted to ask if Bianca was also unaware of the matters concerning
the polar region.
“Mr. Chance…”
Quickly, Bianca moved in front of Jared.
“Is this place the immortal’s tomb?” Jared asked.
Bianca was taken aback for a moment, then quickly shook her head. “No…”
“No?” Jared was shocked by Bianca’s honesty. “If it’s not, then why did your head tell me this was the
immortal’s tomb and ask me to lead you all here in search of treasures and resources?”
“Mr. Chance, please don’t be upset. Ms. Nieva did not intend to deceive you, but rather to deceive
others.”
