A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6038

After leaving Jade Immortal Manor, Jared and Luther masked their auras and raced toward Coldabyss City in the northern region.

Their speed was fierce; in only a few short days the snow-cloaked giant city rose before them once more.

Coldabyss City looked unchanged. Black-green walls of profound ice glinted under sunlight, and the gate bristled with guards.

This time, however, the two men met no inspection; Master Coldabyss had clearly issued advance orders.

They flew straight above the streets and descended toward the City Lord’s Residence.

The gate guards, far from blocking the way, bowed with respectful silence—another sign of Master Coldabyss’s instructions.

Led by a servant, Jared and Luther reached a quiet chamber deep inside the residence.

The room was carved from a single block of ten-thousand-year cold jade; its frozen breath sharpened thought rather than numbing flesh.

Master Coldabyss waited within, still wrapped in an ice-blue robe, gaunt face now carrying a hint of worry between the brows.

On seeing the pair, he rose to greet them, expression complicated.

"Mr. Jared, Luther—you really have returned."

Weariness roughened his voice as he gestured toward the mats. "Please, sit."

"The three of them chose seats—the city lord at the head, Jared and Luther opposite.

A maid glided in, placed steaming spirit tea on low tables, then backed out without a sound.

Quiet folded over the jade chamber; only the three remained."

Elder Coldabyss lifted a hand. Pale runes bloomed in the air and sank into the walls, sealing the room in layered silence.

Only then did he look at Jared, brows tight. "Mr. Jared, word of what you did in the Eastern Region Divine Punishment Hall has already raced through all thirteen heavens."

Jared did not flinch. He raised the thin jade cup, let the warmth travel through his fingers, and took an unhurried sip.

Fragrant steam veiled his eyes. "So the Grand Venerable’s Divine Punishment Warrant has reached the northern region after all."

Elder Coldabyss let out a low breath. "It did far more than reach."

"On the very day the warrant was issued, a celestial envoy showed up at my gates," he said.

"They ordered me to cooperate fully, hunt down the criminal, and interrogate every cultivator with ties to the eastern region."

He paused, eyes sliding toward Jared. "The envoy specifically warned that the target might wield a strange gray power unknown to any current path. Mr. Jared, you have stirred the heavens too loudly."

Luther’s back straightened. The chill in the chamber seemed to echo his mood.

"City Lord Coldabyss, the celestials have ruled the thirteen heavens by crushing every clan. They ripped out souls to smelt soul crystals—sins beyond counting."

"What Mr. Jared did was strike for the people."

Elder Coldabyss raised a placating hand. "I know, I know."

A sigh slipped from him, white in the cold air. "Yet their power dwarfed ours."

"They stood too high for most of us to even see."

"The Grand Venerable of the Central Region stood at Top Level High Immortal Realm Level Eight."

"Strong allies crowded his banner, and some whispered he was linked to an even higher plane."

"Oppose him and you courted certain ruin."

Jared set the cup down. Porcelain tapped jade, soft but final.

His gaze met the city lord’s without blinking. "City Lord, I am not here to pull Coldabyss City into the storm. I have come to prevent misunderstandings between you and Jade Immortal Manor."
