"Luther, can you still sense the Ghost Clan aura?"After they left the Sacred Mountain, Jared turned to Luther and asked the question.Luther nodded, his face set. "Mr. Chance, the aura feels even stronger this time. If I'm reading it right, the Ghost Clan powerhouse the Celestial Palace is trying to revive now is even stronger than the last one.""It doesn't matter."The corner of Jared's mouth lifted a little.'Something hard flashed through his eyes."No matter how strong a Ghost Clan powerhouse is, it's still just a ghoul husk without any mind of its own. It has power, but no awareness. One swing of my sword is enough to cut it down."At that moment, Jared carried himself with complete certainty.He had already cut down a True Immortal Realm Level One with ease.'What was there left for him to fear?In the Fourteenth Firmament, a True Immortal Realm cultivator was already considered almost the peak of combat power."Young Master Chance's strength is shaking the heavens now. This is the perfect time to crush the Celestial Palace's prestige," Grace said from the side with a smiling compliment."Mr. Chance, southwest."Luther focused for a moment, then lifted a hand and pointed into the distance, giving the direction where the Ghost Clan aura was coming from."Good. Let's move."Jared moved first.'He leaped into the air and turned into a streak of golden light that vanished into the horizon.Luther and Grace followed right behind him.Half a day later.noveldramaAnother Sacred Mountain stood several thousand miles away.This Sacred Mountain looked almost exactly like the last one.'It rose straight into the clouds, its slopes steep and severe, its rocks a dark gray that gave off a faint pressure.The summit was wrapped in a thick layer of golden mist.Inside that mist, a massive altar stood in silence.'From the altar, golden light shot straight into the sky and gave off a sacred aura that made the heart tighten.All around the altar, Celestial Palace soldiers patrolled in dense layers.There were even more of them than at the previous Sacred Mountain.'A full 2 thousand.And the strong ones were more numerous too.More than ten Top Level High Immortal Realm experts and two True Immortal Realm Level One experts stood guard around the altar, locking the whole place down.At the center of the altar, the golden coffin floated in midair.Its surface was carved with dense, strange runes.'Ghostly energy and golden light poured off it together in thick waves.Inside the coffin, a huge figure could vaguely be seen.'A Sacred Paragon level pressure rolled off it, but there wasn't a trace of intelligencein that pressure, only pure savagery and deathly stillness.The aura was even thicker than the one from the previous Ghost Clan Sacred Paragon.It was obvious that the Ghost Clan powerhouse inside this coffin was stronger than the last one.Jared, Luther, and Grace hid on a mountain peak near the Sacred Mountain.' They pulled in every trace of their aura and carefully observed the situation there.Luther lowered his voice, and his words came out heavier than before. "Mr. Chance, the guards on this Sacred Mountain are even tighter than the last one. There are two True Immortal Realm Level One experts here, and the Ghost Clan Sacred Paragon inside the coffin has an even denser aura. The revival ritual is almost complete."Grace nodded too, her voice losing the easy confidence from before. "And there are more Celestial Palace soldiers than last time. If we want to destroy the altar, it's probably going to be even harder."Seeing the situation laid out like this, even Grace turned cautious.This was no longer the same moment as when she had been flattering Jared earlier. Jared slowly nodded.'His eyes stayed fixed on the altar at the summit of the Sacred Mountain, and a cold glint passed through them.He had expected that the Celestial Palace wouldn't have just one Sacred Mountain.What he hadn't expected was that the Celestial Palace was reviving this many Ghost Clan powerhouses at the same time.That alone showed their ambition ran much deeper than he had imagined.And the resources backing the Celestial Palace were clearly not something to take lightly."The harder it is, the more this place has to be destroyed."Jared's voice stayed calm, but there was no room in it for doubt."If this Ghost Clan Sacred Paragon comes back to life, the consequences will be unthinkable. We have to move now, stop therevival ritual, and destroy this Sacred Mountain." As soon as the words fell, he slowly rose to his feet.He no longer hid himself.Golden immortal light burst out of him in an instant like a blazing sun, lighting up the entire mountain range.The golden radiance carried a vast pressure with it, so heavy that even the air around him twisted slightly under it.His figure moved, and he flew straight toward the summit of the Sacred Mountain. His steps were unhurried, his face calm.'But the aura around him only grew sharper and sharper, as if he meant to turn the whole Sacred Mountain into scorched earth.Luther and Grace moved right behind him, but Jared didn't even look back. He only flicked a hand behind him, stopping them where they were."Wait here. You don't need to do anything."Luther froze for a beat, then understood.'Mr. Chance meant to handle this alone.The two of them looked at each other, then stopped without another word and watched from far off."Who goes there? How dare you break into the Celestial Palace's Sacred Mountain!"The Celestial Palace soldiers around the altar spotted Jared at once.The Celestial commander at their head shouted sharply, his voice packed withwarning and killing intent.All 2 thousand Celestial Palace soldiers turned together.'Countless cold eyes swept straight at Jared.The killing intent around them burst loose in an instant, gathering into a massive tidethat crushed toward Jared.།།At the same time, the two True Immortal Realm cultivators guarding the altar, along with more than ten Top Level High Immortal Realm cultivators, also caught thedisturbance at once.They all turned around and fixed their eyes on Jared, every stare hard with cautionand the urge to kill.They could all tell one thing clearly.'The aura coming off Jared was terrifyingly strong, far beyond anything they hadexpected."It's you! The brat who destroyed our other Sacred Mountain!"One of the True Immortal Realm cultivators locked onto Jared, recognition flashing across his face, followed at once by heavier killing intent.He had obviously already received word and knew the other Sacred Mountain had been destroyed."I didn't think you'd actually dare walk right up to us yourself. You're asking to die!"The other True Immortal Realm cultivator barked out the words too, the look in his eyes turning even harsher."Today, you'll pay in blood for blood. We'll avenge the disciples who died, and we'll avenge the Sacred Mountain you destroyed!"Jared ignored every word they shouted at him.He also paid no attention to that massive tide of killing intent pressing down on him.He kept flying forward at the same unhurried pace.'His face stayed calm, as if theCelestial Palace soldiers and the etTrue Immortal Realm experts in front of him had nothing to do with him at all "Attack! Take him down! Kill him on sight!"The Celestial commander roared the order, and the killing intent in his eyes lookedready to swallow Jared whole.At his command, all 2 thousand Celestial Palace soldiers attacked together.They each unleashed Celestial rites, and countless streaks of golden light burst from their hands.They carried a holy aura and overwhelming power as they blasted down on Jared from all directions.These rites were even stronger and sharper than the ones used by the soldiers at the previous Sacred Mountain.They packed the sky so thick that they blotted everything out and dyed the wholeheaven gold.It was as if they meant to swallow Jared whole.At the same time, the two True Immortal Realm cultivators also moved together.Each of them used a Celestial grand art.'Golden celestial energy gathered in their palms in an instant, forming two enormousgolden handprints.Those handprints carried endless force and a dense holy aura as they slammedtoward Jared.The more than ten Top Level High Immortal Realm cultivators also struck one afteranother, each unleashing his own technique at Jared.They wanted to join forces and cut Jared down in one shot.
