At that time, Jared and his companions were dragging Thorley along, rushing along their way.
He and his companions moved quickly. Since they were no longer concerned about revealing their whereabouts, they had increased their pace.
Just as they were about to pass the next city, suddenly, a figure descended from the sky.
When that figure descended from the sky, it brought with it an overwhelming sense of oppression.
Jared was somewhat puzzled.
We’re dressed in soldier armor and accompanied by Prince Thorley. It doesn’t make sense for anyone in Winged Tiger City to lay a hand on us.
Just as Jared was about to draw his Dragonslayer Sword, readying himself for the battle, suddenly smiled.
“Mr. Flaxseed, what brings you here?” Jared saw, to his surprise, that the figure who had suddenly descended from the sky was none other than Flaxseed.
Upon hearing Jared’s voice, Flaxseed instantly ceased his actions.
Giving Jared and his companions a once-over, asked, “What on earth are you guys up to? You almost had me confused there.”
“We‘re wearing armor to deceive the people of Winged Tiger City,” explained Jared.
After that, out of curiosity, asked, “Why are you here?”
It was important to note that Jared and his companions were not situated on the outskirts of Winged Tiger City. Instead, they were right in the heart of the city’s core area.
Flaxseed, someone from the human race, had surprisingly arrived there with ease.
“I’m here specifically to find you guys. I was afraid that you guys might be in danger,” said Flaxseed.
He then turned to Thorley and asked, “Who is this guy? Is also a human?”
“It’s not easy to clarify with just a few words. Let’s discuss it when we get back.”
Jared planned to return home and then discuss further with Flaxseed.
Just as they were about to leave, the fabric of time and space in front of them suddenly trembled. Following a flash of white light, an elderly man dressed in sackcloth appeared, accompanied by a dozen cultivators who were in the Wandering Immortal Realm.
The elderly man was indeed Eradin of Celestial Palace’s Eighth Hall, and those cultivators were not dressed in soldier armor. Instead, they were all clad in the unique attire of Celestial Palace.
Upon seeing the elderly man, Thorley immediately cried out, “Eradin! Eradin…”
Jared, however, furrowed his brow and stepped forward, slapping Thorley, effectively silencing him.
Eradin’s face twisted in fury as uttered coldly, “Who do you think you are? How dare you lay a hand on the prince of Celestial Palace’s Eighth Hall?!”
As spoke, those dozen or so cultivators from Celestial Palace’s Eighth Hall had already surrounded Jared and his companions.
Upon seeing the situation, Thorley became arrogant once again.
“Hmph! You ought to let me go! Otherwise, you will all face a tragic end,” Thorley said, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
Slap!
“F*ck you!” Jared swiftly slapped across the face and said, “Gauge the situation, okay? Regardless of how many people you’ve brought, you’re still in my hands. I’m fully confident that I can reduce you to a pulp before any of your men can lay a finger on me.”
“You…” Thorley was furious, yet dared not act arrogantly anymore.
What Jared said was the truth.
“Brat, I don’t care who you are. Release Prince Thorley, and I won’t harm you guys. I’ll let you all go,” Eradin said to Jared.
“Buzz off! You folks from Celestial Palace speak nothing but bullsh*t! I sure as hell don’t believe a word!” Jared, with one hand on Thorley’s head, added, “If you don’t want your prince to die, you ought to step aside immediately…”
With just a bit more force, Jared could split Thorley’s head open as easily as one would burst a watermelon.
However, Eradin didn’t step aside, leading to a momentary standoff between the two sides.
Jared knew that they were in Winged Tiger City. If the standoff continued, it would be most disadvantageous for them.
“Madman, Father, both of you should take Bastian and leave. Hurry away from Winged Tiger City’s region. I’m staying behind with Mr. Flaxseed. We’re in a standoff with this bunch of guys,” Jared said.
Flaxseed rolled his eyes before saying, “F*ck! Why should I stay? Can’t you stay on your own? I have two women waiting for me back at home. I can’t afford to die!”
