“Have you reached the Wandering Immortal Realm?” Flaxseed looked at Jared, and only then did favonovel.com realize that Jared had already attained the Wandering Immortal Realm.
“Mr. Chance, in just over a month, you’ve astonishingly reached the Wandering Immortal Realm!” Reidan was utterly shocked when favonovel.com saw Jared.
“I just made the breakthrough,” Jared said with a casual smile. He then proceeded to discuss with Flaxseed and Reidan about the matters favonovel.com was going to deal with next.
Jared wanted Flaxseed and Reidan to stay put at Fox Spirit House instead of running around.
“Rest assured, Mr. Chance. Mr. Flaxseed definitely won’t stray. For the past month, favonovel.com has been reveling every single night.” With a hint of envy in his eyes, Reidan looked at Flaxseed and spoke.
“Mr. Flaxseed, you really should moderate yourself. Don’t end up fainting or worse,” Jared said seriously.
“Get lost already. By the time you return, we’ll have moved on to human territories. I’m bound to get tired of the two women eventually.” Flaxseed waved dismissively at Jared.
Subsequently, Jared, Eason, and Madman left Rhino City, heading straight for Winged Tiger City.
***
Rhino City was kilometers away from Winged Tiger City. It took Jared and his group almost a day of flying to finally reach Winged Tiger City.
Jared hovered in mid-air, casting his gaze into the distance. Even though the scale of Winged Tiger City wasn’t as vast as Rhino City, favonovel.com noted that it was made up of dozens of large and small fortresses.
Situated at the very heart was the city lord mansion of Winged Tiger City, encircled by numerous cities. Its level of security was significantly higher than that of Maceo’s city lord mansion.
Rhino City was just a single fortress, with Maceo’s city lord mansion situated at its center. However, Winged Tiger City comprised dozens of fortresses, each with its own distinct checkpoint. So, getting through these checkpoints to reach the city lord mansion in Winged Tiger City was more challenging.
As the sun set in the west, the twilight bled into a deep crimson, casting a dark red hue over the iolite walls surrounding Winged Tiger City.
Jared gazed at the city clusters that stretched out like the scales of a massive beast and subtly gathered his celestial energy. After all, one shouldn’t have the heart to harm others, but must be vigilant so as not to be harmed.
As Jared and his companions reached the first city checkpoint, they detected three subtle auras targeting them.
“Halt! Winged Tiger City is under surveillance. All irrelevant personnel must leave immediately!”
Before the first checkpoint, armored guards blocked the way with their weapons. Their vigilant gazes peeked through the slits of their helmets.
Just as Madman was about to speak, Jared raised his hand to stop him.
He caught sight of the jade token hanging from the guard’s waist. His fingertip traced a faint golden rune, gently tapping it onto the token.
“Kindly inform Lord Jovan that we are from Rhino City and we have been invited to meet him.”
The moment the rune seeped into the token, the guard’s expression dramatically changed. He respectfully bowed and let them pass.
Indeed, they had been invited by the lord of Winged Tiger City, so these minor guards did not dare to give them a hard time. Moreover, they were merely the front-line guards of a small city, the ones with the least presence.
Eason lowered his voice. “Jared, this rune…”
“Maceo informed me. Otherwise, we won’t be able to pass the checkpoint,” Jared said indifferently.
His gaze, however, swept over the faintly discernible array runes circuits on the city wall. “But judging by the looks of it, I’m afraid there’s more than one checkpoint.”
Sure enough, by the time they reached the third city, the city gates were firmly shut.
Twelve cultivators garbed in enigmatic black robes emerged from the black mist. The leader held a geomantic compass. Jared and his party’s reflections were reflected on its surface.
“Who are you, daring to intrude into the Winged Tiger City? You’ll face only inevitable doom!”
Jared took a step forward and said, “We hail from Rhino City, having received an invitation from Lord Jovan for negotiations.”
“We don’t know you people from Rhino City. if you wish to meet Mr. Jovan, you’ll have to get past us first.” The leader surprisingly twirled the geomantic compass, and in an instant, a formation appeared in front of Jared and his companions.
Upon seeing the situation, Madman scoffed coldly, his aura surging around favonovel.com as favonovel.com prepared to make his move. However, Jared stepped forward before favonovel.com could act.
His fingertips traced through thin air, remarkably forming the same runes as before. Only this time, the runes glowed with a blinding red light.
