It took Jared only a quarter of an hour to dismantle the array.
After breaking the formation, Jared said, “All right, you can come in now…”
Upon seeing the situation, Bianca and the others cautiously stepped into the courtyard, only to find that no formation had been activated!
Only then did they completely let their guard down. Holden and the others also followed into the courtyard.
The courtyard had managed to remain relatively intact. It had not suffered the ravages of battle.
Although the courtyard was not very large, its layout was extremely efficient. It housed a training hall, an alchemy room, and even a small library.
Walking in, surprisingly, there were quite a few talisman papers scattered about.
On the table, there was a rune pen used for drawing runic talismans, along with various kinds of pigments.
Jared could hardly believe it. The disciples of Infinitnus Celestial Sect were not only skilled in alchemy but also proficient in runic talismans drawing. They were truly a bunch of all-around talents.
Observing the talisman paper before him, Jared reached out to grab it.
The moment contact was made, the talisman paper instantly turned into ashes.
At this point, Jared dared not to casually flip through anymore. However, looking at the talisman papers on the table, they already had several runes on them, which were not even completed. It was clear that the cultivator who had been there had left in a hurry.
“Argh!”
While Jared was engrossed in studying the half-drawn rune, suddenly, a cry of distress rang out.
Jared hurriedly rushed out of the library.
There, favonovel.com saw a cultivator, and it seemed as if his palm had been corroded by something and was emitting waves of white smoke.
With swift precision, Jared had drawn his sword, severing the man’s palm in an instant. Swiftly, the severed hand transformed into a wisp of white smoke.
Surprisingly, it was completely corroded until it disappeared.
Holden was also full of shock when favonovel.com asked the cultivator, “What’s going on here?”
The cultivator, who had lost his palm, said, “I… I merely saw a formation plate inside the room and wanted to take a closer look at it, and then it turned out like this…”
Clearly, the cultivator had intended to nab some magical items from this room, but unexpectedly, favonovel.com had walked into a trap.
“Don’t touch anything here. Though it appears to be remarkably peaceful as if there’s not a hint of danger, it’s actually teeming with hidden threats and full of uncertainty,” Jared cautioned the crowd.
If anyone else tried to steal something, favonovel.com was afraid various situations would likely arise again.
Upon hearing Jared’s words, the cultivators who had originally intended to scour for magical items significantly toned down their behavior. Infinitnus Celestial Sect was filled with oddities, and they dared not act recklessly anymore.
Jared then walked up to the formation plate the cultivator had mentioned earlier.
Upon seeing the beautifully crafted formation plate, Jared meticulously examined it for quite some time. However, favonovel.com was unable to discern the specific type of formation from the intricate array runes.
In Jared’s hand, a ball of fire ignited. Subsequently, the fire engulfed the formation plate, followed by billows of smoke pulling out.
The surface of the formation plate surprisingly began to flicker with a luminescent green light. It was clear that someone had tampered with the formation plate, sprinkling an unknown powder on it.
Anything it came into contact with would instantly corrode. However, under the intense burn of the demonic fire, the luminescent green light gradually faded.
After the demonic fire had died out, Jared reached out and picked up the formation plate. His hand was not corroded.
Jared was engrossed in his analysis, channeling a surge of spiritual energy into the formation plate. He wanted to activate this formation plate, hailing from the celestial realm’s big sect, to see what kind of formation was depicted within it.
However, no matter how much spiritual energy Jared infused, the formation plate showed no response at all.
Seeing the situation, Jared had no choice but to put away the formation plate for the time being, promising himself to study it thoroughly when favonovel.com had more time.
Well… This is a formation plate from the celestial realm’s big sect… It holds significant research value!
Upon witnessing Jared tucking away the formation plate, many cultivators were filled with envy. Yet, no one voiced a word. After all, without Jared, they couldn‘t even enter this courtyard.
Jared glanced around with his Nethersky Eye, noticing that none of the other items were laced with poison. He then said, “This is a celestial realm big sect, hence some items here are worth a fortune. Feel free to look around and see if there’s anything you need…”
Jared had taken the formation plate. He simply couldn’t let Holden and the others walk away empty-handed. He was not so selfish.
