Jonathan grabbed Stellario by the collar and cursed furiously, “Like h*ll I do!”
Around him, several black bugs had already begun to flap their wings, flying in his direction.
Jonathan felt a piercing pain in his shoulder, followed by a wave of overwhelming dizziness.
“Run!”
Life force, being the primal aura of Pryncyp, had a powerful inhibiting effect on all types of toxins.
As the life force within him circulated, Jonathan regained clarity.
He slashed his sword beside Merilyn, instantly bisecting two black bugs.
Stellario and Merilyn didn’t have Seboxia’s support. Even with Jonathan right beside them, judging by
Seboxia’s temperament, he would never expend his life force to save the two since Stellario and
Merilyn were useless to him.
Only inevitable death awaited Stellario and Merilyn if they got hurt.
Watching the rapidly growing swarm of bugs, Merilyn and Stellario reacted entirely differently.
Merilyn chose to flee while Stellario hesitated for a moment before scattering a packet of medicinal
powder. Then, he ran through the pungent powder and charged toward the swarm of bugs.
“Stellario, are you out of your mind?” Jonathan shouted at Stellario.
“You guys go first. I must lay my hands on the queen of the black bugs!”
Stellario moved with breakneck speed at that instant, reaching the middle of the swarm in just a few
moments.
Initially, Jonathan wanted to persuade Stellario, but at the thought of the Mallory family members’
obsession with bugs, he could only turn around and leave.
“Are we leaving just like this?” Merilyn asked Jonathan with slight reluctance.
Jonathan stepped on a large stone, and with a leap, he had traveled tens of meters away.
“He chose that path, so whether he lives or dies, he has to bear it himself.” Jonathan turned to look at
the distant swarm of bugs as he spoke before looking up at the light signal that had reappeared atop
them.
“Don’t worry. Stellario was the one who captured the queen bug from Mount Boisvista, and the Mallory
family has been researching bugs for generations, so he won’t die. What we should worry about now is
not Stellario but how we are going to survive.” Jonathan didn’t utter those words for the sole purpose of
comforting Merilyn. Instead, that was the actual circumstances they were facing.
While dealing with the silver proboscis monkeys earlier, Jonathan couldn’t withstand the backlash of
the bronze handbell and had to withdraw the protection, causing the formation to target their auras
again.
Jonathan grabbed Stellario by the collar and cursed furiously, “Like h*ll I do!”
Those native cultivators who wanted to become a Yannopolis envoy would definitely flock over again in
no time after noticing the trio’s light signals.
Stellario was now considered the safest among the three of them.
After all, no one would dare to approach the swarm of bugs.
Jonathan frowned as he gazed ahead.
According to the position where those light signals fell before, he should have met Hayden by now.
Even if he had miscalculated the distance, Jonathan believed Hayden would certainly stir a commotion
to reveal his whereabouts.
After all, that was the only way he could have the highest chance of survival.
However, there wasn’t any news from Hayden’s side, and that could only mean he was being hunted
down or had already died since there were just too many indigenous cultivators in the arena.
Some of the native cultivators wanted to kill Jonathan and his party to secure the nine spots, while
there were those who tried to avoid the crowd by opting to hunt down the remaining six targets.
Jonathan couldn’t be more familiar with Hayden’s strength.
The man was a God Realm cultivator secretly trained by an affiliated family to break away from the
respectable families who relied too heavily on enhancement using herbs.
He ascended rapidly in his cultivation level, but his foundation was unstable. When matched up against
other well-known cultivators, Hayden could only be considered one of the weakest.
If Hayden encountered a native cultivator, he would have, at most, even odds to win the fight.
However, if he had to face two or more opponents or even be so unlucky as to run into one of the nine-
man squads pursuing Jonathan and his party, Hayden was sure to die.
At the moment, Hayden was the only person who might know any news about Joshua. If Hayden died,
Jonathan feared he might lose his mind.
“Over here!” someone yelled.
Several figures sprang out from the dense forest in front of Jonathan and Merilyn.
“There are five of them!” Jonathan hurled his Divine Chessboard, casting it like a throwing knife.
“Don’t resist, we can—” Before the native cultivator could finish his sentence, he saw Jonathan perform
a hand seal and heard the latter shout, “Enlarge!”
In the blink of an eye, the palm-sized Divine Chessboard transformed into a massive object more than
twenty meters in size.
The five people were sent flying by the chessboard, wailing as they fell to the ground.
“Don’t linger. Let’s go!”
Jonathan and Merilyn stepped on the chessboard and rushed forward, completely ignoring the party of
five behind them.
Those native cultivators who wanted to become a Yannopolis envoy would definitely flock over again in
no time after noticing the trio’s light signals.
As he put away the chessboard, Jonathan shifted his gaze onto Ascension Peak in the middle of the
arena. Hayden might really have died since we still haven’t found him at this point. If my whereabouts
are exposed, and God Realm cultivators surround us, I won’t make it out alive, regardless of how
capable I am.

capable I am.
At that moment, Jonathan was seriously considering whether he should change his direction, heading
for Ascension Peak and striving to survive at the top of the peak.
However, just then, an ear-piercing noise rang out in front of Jonathan.
An orange signal flare rose into the sky, trailing a white plume of smoke on its way up and drawing
everyone’s attention.
“It’s a signal flare!” Jonathan was overjoyed to see something made in the modern world in the sky.
The eight foreign cultivators were placed in different positions across the arena, except for Jonathan
and Stellario, who were positioned together. Jonathan was unsure whether that scruffy cultivator had
done it on purpose, but they were distributed with quite an even distance between them, and Hayden
was the only person coming from that direction.
Right after confirming all eight foreign participants’ initial positions, Jonathan and his party had been
dashing toward Hayden with all their might.
Apart from being delayed by the silver proboscis monkeys just now, they had never stopped moving.
Based on the distance and the traveling speed of cultivators, unless there were others like Jonathan
and his party who were also trying to locate Hayden from the start, there shouldn’t be any other foreign
cultivators there.
“That person is right ahead!” Jonathan called out in excitement.
Subsequently, no longer reserving his strength, Jonathan sprinted forward at breakneck speed, turning
his figure into a blur.
Stellario had since plunged into the swarm of bugs, so Merilyn had no other way out. As a result, she
could only follow Jonathan.
As soon as the two traversed the ridge in front, two long spears shot out from behind the ridge, aiming
straight for the duo’s throats.
“Dodge!”
Jonathan booted Merilyn aside in midair, helping her evade the spear, but he himself was propelled to
the side by the recoil.
Blood splattered everywhere as Jonathan felt a warm sensation spreading at his neck.
He examined his condition with his spiritual sense and realized the spear had penetrated his neck.
