A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6672

Malric's expression changed.

It lasted only a moment.

Then he forced it back under control.

"I do not know what you are talking about."

Jared watched him quietly.

After a few seconds, he said, "Then you do not know enough. Call someone who does. Have the ridge lord come out."

Malric's face darkened.

"You are only Golden Immortal Level One. What gives you the right to demand a meeting with our ridge lord?"

Jared smiled faintly.

"Then let me ask another way."

His voice remained calm. "I will show you whether I have that right."

He glanced at Master Veridian.

Master Veridian immediately understood.

The old man stepped forward with a grin.

Then his aura erupted.

Peak Golden Immortal Level Eight pressure descended like a mountain.

Malric and the guards were crushed beneath it in an instant.

Malric's body shook.

His knees bent, and he almost dropped to the ground.

His gloomy face turned deathly pale. Shock and fear filled his dark-red eyes.

"Golden Immortal... peak Level Eight..."

He tried to stabilize himself, but Master Veridian's pressure pressed on him like a real weight. Even breathing became difficult.

Jared looked at him calmly.

"Now am I qualified?"

Malric gritted his teeth.

"You... wait here."

He turned and stumbled back into the palace.

Not long after, an older man with an even deeper aura walked out.

He had white hair and wore a black robe embroidered with dark-gold flame runes.

His face was aged, but his eyes were bright as lightning. His aura felt deep as an abyss.

He was also Golden Immortal Level Eight, roughly equal to Master Veridian.

"I am Garrick Emberfall, lord of Inferno Devil Ridge."

His aged voice carried authority.

His gaze swept over Jared, then stopped on Master Veridian. A grave light flashed in his eyes.

"Are you Master Veridian?"

Master Veridian paused.

"You know me?"

"Your name is known throughout the Nineteenth Firmament. Of course I have heard it."

Garrick's tone was calm, neither humble nor arrogant. "I simply did not expect you to appear at Inferno Devil Ridge."

Master Veridian puffed out his chest.

"Of course you have heard of me. Who in the Nineteenth Firmament does not know my name? But I did not come here to catch up. Mr. Chance has business with you."

Garrick turned his attention to Jared.

He studied the young Golden Immortal Level One cultivator, doubt moving through his eyes.

"You are the one looking for someone?"

"Yes."

Jared's voice was calm. "I am looking for Josephine. I want to see her."

Garrick frowned slightly.

A complicated look passed through his eyes.

"You are looking for Josephine?"

"I will be fine."

Jared's voice was calm. "You only need to tell me the exact location and the way in."

Garrick looked into his eyes.

After a long silence, he sighed.

"Very well. I can tell you where the Emperorfall Expanse is, and I can send someone to guide you. But I must warn you. Entering is easy. Leaving is hard. Inside, there are not only the Immortal Emperor's dao patterns and law fragments, but also strange beings and spatial traps formed after his fall. Even cultivators above Golden Immortal Level Six have less than a thirty percent chance of coming out alive. You are only Golden Immortal Level One..."

"I know."

Jared cut him off. "But I have to go."

Garrick looked at him with unreadable emotion.

"Since you insist, I will not keep persuading you."

He waved a hand.

A young demonic cultivator stepped forward.

"This is Asher Cindrell, my disciple. He knows the route to the Emperorfall Expanse. Let him guide you."

Jared cupped his hands to Garrick.

"Thank you, Ridge Lord."

Garrick waved it off.

"No need. I simply... do not want to see a brave man die for nothing."

He turned and walked back into the palace.

His figure soon disappeared into the darkness.

Jared watched him leave.

A deep light flashed through his violet eyes.

Emperorfall Expanse.

Josephine, are you there?

What are you looking for?

No matter what it is, I will find you.
