A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 4555

“Rory, you've spent many years in the southern region, so you must be familiar with the terrain around Demonia Mountain. I have this map that marks a particular location in the southern region. Do you recognize it?”

Jared took out a map he had retrieved from Tavon's item pouch and handed it to Rory.

Rory studied the map carefully, his gaze falling on a spot circled in red.

His brow furrowed noticeably as he examined it.

“Mr. Chance, where did you get this map?” Rory asked.

Jared hesitated, unsure of how to explain. After all, he didn't know much about Tavon's true identity.

Seeing Jared's hesitation, Rory realized he had touched on something sensitive and quickly changed the subject. “This marked location is a forbidden area in the southern region. It's been countless years since any cultivators ventured there. That area once housed an ancient city. But during the Celestial Battle, the city was completely destroyed, and everyone there perished,” Rory explained.

“But why would it become a forbidden zone?” Jared was puzzled.

Many cities were destroyed during the Celestial Battle, and countless cultivators died. Why was this place any different?

Rory revealed, “That place is strange. In the past, some cultivators tried to explore it, but none of them ever returned. Their bodies were never found. Over time, it became a forbidden zone. No one goes there anymore. Besides, the location is on the outskirts of the southern region and has no valuable resources.”

Jared listened intently, his gaze fixed on the map. His thoughts churned with unease.

Tavon wouldn't have marked this place on the map for no reason.

And now, knowing it was a forbidden zone, Jared became convinced that the location held some secret.

Initially, Jared had planned to focus on cultivation for a while with the resources he had recently obtained, but the mystery of this place stirred his curiosity.

Seeing the determination on Jared's face, Rory quickly interjected, “Mr. Chance, you're not planning to go there, are you? I advise against it. That place is barren and holds no resources—there's no point in taking such a risk.”
