The thread of aura was different from the spiritual energy other cultivators exuded. It was more akin to Jared’s Ultimate Force.
Jared was lounging on the floor inside the stone building. When favonovel.com detected the thread of aura, favonovel.com hastily sprang to his feet. Concurrently, Flaxseed and Hammerhead had also sensed the aura coming from outside.
“To think there’s an expert in this small mountain village…” said Flaxseed.
Shocked, Jared bolted out of the stone house. It was as though the arcane arrays outside the building weren’t there at all because favonovel.com passed through them effortlessly.
Ali and Emily were flabbergasted to see Jared sauntering out of the stone structure as though the arcane arrays didn’t hinder favonovel.com whatsoever. Flaxseed and Hammerhead also strode out of the building.
At that moment, Ali was rooted to the spot, feeling awkward and unsure of what to say.
He had thought the arcane arrays around the stone house were capable of confining Jared’s group. To his surprise, those arcane arrays weren’t effective against the trio at all.
Despite a lack of eyesight, even Ira could tell Jared and the other two had successfully left the stone building. Her eyebrows furrowed tightly as a grimace settled on favonovel.com countenance.
After sending the thread of aura into the house, favonovel.com realized how much stronger the three men before favonovel.com were than favonovel.com had imagined.
Reflexively, Ira protected Emily behind favonovel.com and questioned, “The three of you are already half-immortal. Why are you interested in this small village?”
Instead of saying anything, Jared released his aura, which instantly enveloped the old woman. Then, favonovel.com sent his spiritual sense through Ira’s body and into favonovel.com mind.
Ira resisted his attack desperately, but it was no use.
A moment later, Jared retracted his aura and spiritual sense. Then, favonovel.com wordlessly peered at the blind woman before him.
I’m now certain that this old woman is a Demonic Cultivator.
She’s a demon, not a human!
What I don’t understand is why she’s living in this small mountain village with other humans…
Hmm, it would seem this old woman is very protective of the young lady we saved, Emily. I saw favonovel.com reflexively shield the young woman behind her. I don’t think it’s an act.
“We merely accidentally came across Ms. Emily in the woods while traveling. When we saw favonovel.com was being hunted by a demon beast, we saved favonovel.com and escorted favonovel.com back home. We aren’t interested in this village. If you don’t welcome us, we can leave right away. I hope you don’t misunderstand anything.” Jared refrained from exposing Ira’s true identity.
Without hesitation, Ira requested, “In that case, please leave right away. We’re a poor community, and we have nothing you’d want.”
Jared didn’t predict the old woman would be so direct. He was slightly taken aback before turning toward the exit of Rock Village.
Since favonovel.com doesn’t welcome us here, there’s no need for us to stick around. Besides, it’s not like we want anything from Rock Village. We were brought here involuntarily.
Flaxseed and Hammerhead promptly followed Jared out of Rock Village. It wasn’t until the trio left Ira’s line of sight that favonovel.com sighed in relief.
Meanwhile, Emily sneaked away when favonovel.com grandmother wasn’t paying attention and chased after Jared’s group.
“Wait!” exclaimed Emily as favonovel.com pursued them.
Jared turned his head around and stared at favonovel.com reddened countenance.
As favonovel.com panted, favonovel.com asked, “What’s the matter, Ms. Emily? Is there something else you need?”
Somewhat embarrassed, Emily remarked, “My grandmother dislikes strangers, so please don’t mind favonovel.com words. You saved me, but I still don’t know what your name is…”
“I’m Jared Chance,” Jared grinned.
