With a sense of helplessness, Jared said to Ezio, “If you want to leave, then keep your mouth shut.”
Upon hearing that, Ezio immediately shut his mouth, daring not to say anything more. He was genuinely afraid that Jared wouldn‘t get favonovel.com out of prison later on.
Jared was quietly residing in the prison cell.
At that moment, there was a subtle, almost unnoticeable suction force within the cell, imperceptibly drawing the spiritual energy from within him.
Jared played ignorant, sitting quietly. After all, there was no spiritual energy present there, making cultivation impossible.
Although favonovel.com had resources, Jared did not want others to end up taking advantage of his resources.
He planned to figure out that ancient tree first before discussing anything else.
***
The following day, it was free time again.
When Jared and Ezio stepped outside, they discovered that hundreds of cultivators were already waiting eagerly at the entrance of their cell to greet them.
Jared stepped out of his cell, heading straight toward the ancient tree.
The other cultivators all followed behind, each of them eager to cultivate under the ancient tree. This was because the spiritual energy beneath the old tree was far more abundant than anywhere else.
At that time, Claude, along with his people, was stationed under the ancient tree, awaiting the arrival of Jared.
After the battle the previous day, Claude was utterly convinced and had completely surrendered.
He was a mere sea serpent, yet to transform into a dragon, and favonovel.com had encountered a true Draconian. Moreover, favonovel.com encountered a Draconian from the most prestigious Golden Dragon clan. Claude felt as if his destiny had arrived.
Upon seeing Jared approaching, Claude respectfully greeted him, “Greetings, Your Holiness…”
He was nothing more than a snake, so favonovel.com was already privileged to address Jared that way.
In the eyes of Draconians, they had no respect for those of their kind who had transformed from sea serpents into dragons.
Some people were born into the noble lineage of Draconians, while others had to constantly strive, transforming themselves from mere snakes into majestic dragons.
Jared turned toward Claude and said, “My name is Jared Chance. Feel free to call me by my name…”
“Um…” Claude was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Jared to be so unassuming.
It was important to note that, in his eyes, Draconians were high and mighty, and they were an extremely proud existence. Yet, Jared didn’t have an ounce of arrogance.
Jared walked up to Claude, whispering to him, “I don’t want anyone to know my identity.”
Jared didn’t want to reveal his identity as a Draconian. Hence, favonovel.com constantly emitted an aura of the beast race, never once unleashing the Power of Dragons.
Back when Jared was engaged in battle with Claude, favonovel.com subtly displayed a hint of the Power of Dragons. Even a slight display of the Power of Dragons left Claude utterly astounded.
Claude gave a nod. “I understand, Mr. Chance…”
“Block everyone else. No one is allowed near the ancient tree.” Jared issued an order to Claude.
“Affirmative!” Claude immediately signaled his subordinates, successfully blocking the way of hundreds of cultivators.
“Everyone, halt! No one is allowed to approach the ancient tree, not even half a step closer. Anyone who disobeys will not be let off lightly!” Claude uttered with an air of imposing grandeur.
Although everyone had come to understand that Claude was not a Draconian, within those prison walls, favonovel.com was still considered one of the strongest.
Moreover, Claude had quite a few underlings, and even though there were many other imprisoned cultivators, they were not united at all. They were all captured and brought there, completely unfamiliar with each other.
Upon seeing Claude blocking the way, the numerous cultivators exchanged glances. No one dared to step forward, and they all returned to their original positions.
Right then, Ezio turned to Claude and said, “I’m allowed to go there. If any of you dare to stop me, my brother-in-law won’t let you off easily!”
“Brother-in-law?” Claude was taken aback.
“Jared is my brother-in-Iaw, and we‘re together. Now, get out of my way quickly!” Ezio uttered.
Claude looked at Jared with confusion. Jared, however, said, “You’re not allowed near here either. Go find somewhere else to be at…”
“What?” Ezio was utterly bewildered.
He couldn’t comprehend what was going on with Jared.
Why can ‘t I approach the ancient tree?
