Jared pulled back the collar of the Summers family member, revealing a small black dot on the nape of their neck. It was almost impossible to spot unless one looked closely.
With a gentle suction from Jared’s palm, a thin
poison sting flew out from the black spot.
“They were fatally poisoned by the sting, which caused hallucinations. It wasn’t due to any illusion array. Now, you can extract the poison stings from their bodies,” Jared said to Tyler.
Tyler looked at the thin poison sting in Jared’s hand, his eyes filled with astonishment.
Despite its small size, Jared was able to discover it.
Quickly, Tyler and Freddie managed to extract all the poison stings from the bodies of the Summers family members.
At that moment, everyone held Jared in high regard.
“Stay close behind me. Don’t wander off,” he warned. “The plants and animals here have mutated due to the presence of celestial energy, making them difficult to deal with.” Jared reminded everyone.
“Everyone, follow Mr. Chance’s instructions. No one is allowed to move around in disarray, Tyler roared at the Summers family.
Under Jared’s guidance, everyone arrived at the foot of the mountain.
From a distance, one could see the mountain peaks, but as they approached, they shockingly disappeared from sight.
“Mr. Chance, there must be an arcane array here. Could it be an illusion? How can such a tall mountain peak suddenly disappear?” Tyler asked in confusion.
“Mr. Summers, it probably wasn’t as simple as a mere illusion. I suspect it was some sort of illusionary arcane array…” Freddie retorted.
Both of them turned to Jared, waiting for him to speak.
Throughout the journey, if it hadn’t been for Jared, even if they had broken through that large arcane array, their losses might have been great.
“This isn’t an illusion, nor is it a magic arcane array. The reason we can’t see the mountain peak is because we have already ventured into the heart of the mountain.” After Jared finished speaking, he waved his hand.
Suddenly, a whirlwind arose from the place shrouded in celestial mist in front of him.
The celestial mist was instantly dispersed, and to everyone’s surprise, they found themselves already halfway up the mountain peak.
What surprised them even more was that halfway up the mountain, there appeared a vast expanse of gentle terrain. Astonishingly, there were several structures there that clearly did not belong to the Ethereal Realm. Despite their ancient age, these buildings still exuded a majestic grandeur.
Above those structures, rainbow celestial clouds drifted, with unending celestial energy swirling around.
“How… How could there be buildings here? Could it be that after the Celestial Battle, there were still people living here?”
“Could this really be a genuine immortal sect?”
“Although the building appeared old and was not particularly large, it nonetheless exuded an aura of ethereal grandeur.”
Everyone in the Summers family stared at the building that had suddenly appeared before them, feeling utterly astonished.
Tyler and Freddie were both taken aback, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Jared, too, was struck by the incredulity of the situation. He didn’t expect a sect to appear in the midst of the Celestial Battlefield.
If those buildings didn’t represent a sect, then what would be the purpose of constructing them?
“Mr. Chance, what should we do? Should we continue up the mountain, or should we first explore these buildings?” Tyler asked Jared.
“We should investigate the situation. If there are no treasures within these buildings, we won’t need to linger. We should leave immediately. However, everyone must be careful. The sudden appearance of a building in such a place is not a good sign. Beware of traps and arcane arrays,” Jared cautioned Tyler.
Jared didn’t suggest going to explore himself because he was afraid that Tyler would overthink it.
Even though Tyler had said he would give all the treasure to Jared, it was impossible for Jared to keep it all. That would be completely unjustifiable.
