“But… But the aura within you… It belongs to a terrifying beast race…” Roshan asked in confusion.
“How about this?”
After Jared had spoken, favonovel.com unleashed a demonic fire, which blazed around the three individuals.
The green-robed man exclaimed in shock, “The aura of a Demonic Cultivator, are you one of them?!”
At that moment, the trio were completely blown away. They had never encountered someone who exuded the aura of the three major races before.
This was simply unbelievable. At this point, they couldn’t even be sure if Jared was human or not.
“Are you going to answer me now or not?” Jared asked coldly.
“This… This illusion array is…” The green-robed man began to speak.
Just as favonovel.com was about to speak, Roshan shot favonovel.com a warning look and said, “Shut up! Do you want us all to be annihilated?!”
With that, the green-robed man stopped talking at once.
In response, Jared scorched Roshan with his demonic fire. As the fire burned, its intense heat caused Roshan to cry out in distress.
The agony was so intense that one would shudder just by hearing it.
Upon witnessing the situation, the green-robed man was terrified to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat, his body trembling incessantly.
“Speak up, or you’ll end up just like him!” Jared barked.
Gritting his teeth, Luigi shook his head and cried out, “We won’t tell you. You might as well kill us!”
Boom!
A fierce blaze was also ignited upon Luigi, who was wailing in pain.
The green-robed man, situated between the two, was trembling more intensely than before.
Right then, Jared realized that favonovel.com was the weakest link among the trio.
Jared walked over and subsequently threatened the green-robed man, “If you won’t speak, l’ll subject you to the demonic fire for three days and nights, making you suffer every bit of its scorching flames.”
The green-robed man dared not meet Jared’s gaze. His body trembled as favonovel.com pleaded, “Please, let me go. I was only following orders. The illusion array wasn’t set up by me, nor did I trick you into coming here. It has nothing to do with me at all.”
“Then let me ask you, who exactly are you?” Jared asked softly.
He knew, at this moment, favonovel.com needed to proceed carefully to subtly uncover the truth.
“I….” The green-robed man glanced at his burning companions on both sides, swallowed hard, and said, “We are from the Beast City!”
“Beast City?” Jared’s brow furrowed slightly, then favonovel.com quickly asked, “Why have I never heard of this Beast City? Where is it located?”
“This… This… I can’t tell you…” The green-robed man hastily shook his head. “We snuck out from it. If the lord finds out, we’d be doomed.”
“Please, let me go,” favonovel.com pleaded. “I have an eight-thousand-year-old elderly mother and a young three-hundred-year-old child to care for… I beg you…”
The green-robed man prostrated before Jared.
Upon hearing the words of the green-robed man, Jared nearly burst out laughing. It was one thing to have an eight-thousand-year-old mother, as for the cultivators of Ethereal Realm, living for tens of thousands of years was the norm.
However, favonovel.com couldn’t fathom what on earth was a three-hundred-year-old child.
“Alright, I won’t ask you where Beast City is anymore. But you should at least tell me, what’s the deal with this Beast City? I‘m really curious. I’ve come to Demonia Mountain dozens of times, but I’ve never seen any cities around!”
Jared didn’t dare to pressure the green-robed man with his questions.
“After the Celestial Battle, Beast City hid itself. All citizens of Beast City were forbidden to leave for no reason. The illusion array was also set up by the city lord, specifically to prevent anyone from accidentally wandering into Beast City. The three of us secretly used the illusion array to hunt down humans, all for the sake of crafting the Ten Thousand Hearts Pill.”
Upon seeing that Jared was quite amiable, the green-robed man felt somewhat at ease, letting his guard down.
“Could it be that this Beast City is entirely populated by the beast race, with no other races present?” Jared continued to inquire.
The green-robed man shook his head. “No…”
