The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6258

"No." Jared shook his head. "I'm going alone."

Lydia's brow pulled even tighter. "Why?"

Jared held her gaze. "The Celestial Palace has always stayed hidden from the world. That means they don't want to be disturbed. If I bring too many people, it'll be easy for them to take it the wrong way. If they think I brought help to provoke them, they probably won't even let me through the door."

He paused, then gave a crooked smile. "Besides, word that the Celestial Basilica was destroyed is going to reach the Celestial Palace sooner or later. If they find out I'm one of the people who wiped out the Celestial Basilica, they'll already be on guard against me.

"If I show up with a huge group behind me on top of that, of course they'll think I came to wipe them out too."

Lydia went quiet.

She understood what Jared meant.

The Celestial Palace was not the same as the Celestial Basilica.

The Celestial Basilica stood in the open.

It acted boldly, and there were rules to follow.

The Celestial Palace stayed in the dark.

It was mysterious, impossible to read, and did things by its own standards.

When the opponent in front of him followed rules, there was still room to maneuver through those rules;

But against someone with no rules at all, there was no way to know what they would do next.

And on top of that, the Celestial Palace's foundation ran too deep to measure.

If it really came to a fight, Jared might not win.

And even if he did, if the Celestial Palace got wiped out in the process, then Sidney and his wife's remnant souls would truly be left without any hope at all.

"But if you go by yourself..." Lydia still couldn't let it rest.

"If I go alone, it'll actually be safer."

Jared said, "I'll be going there as a guest asking for an audience, not as an enemy charging their gates. Besides, with the strength I have now, there aren't many people in the Fourteenth Firmament who can stop me anymore."

That wasn't false.

After his battle with Skylar, his cultivation had broken through to High Immortal Realm Level Five, and his Golden Dragon Bloodline had grown even more solid.

His cultivation level was still in the High Immortal Realm, but in a real fight, he was already sure he could take on a True Immortal Realm Level Three cultivator.

Lydia bit her lip, and in the end, she didn't press it again.

She knew Jared was making sense, but the weight sitting in her chest refused to ease.

"Then promise me this."

Lydia held his gaze and said each word slowly, "If the Celestial Palace makes a move against you, leave immediately. Don't force it. Don't try to fight them head-on."

Jared nodded. "I promise. You all need to get back to Cloudhaven City as fast as you can too. With only Roland and Vivian there, they might not be able to hold it. Skylar got away, and if he goes back, he may even bring the Demon Dragon to attack Cloudhaven City."

"Okay." Lydia nodded.

Jared turned around and looked out toward the far edge of the sky.

That way led to the northernmost edge of the Fourteenth Firmament, to the unknown land called Return to the Void, to the place where the Celestial Palace might exist.

"Mr. Morse, just wait a little longer."

The words passed silently through him. "I'll find a way to get you both out."

He drew in a deep breath, then turned into a streak of golden light and vanished into the horizon.

Lydia stayed where she was and watched his back disappear.

A long time passed, and she still didn't move.

Luther walked up beside her and said softly, "Mr. Chance is just like that. Nobody can stop him."

Lydia said nothing. She only tightened her grip on the sword in her hand.

"Let's go too."

Her voice came out even, but something flickered deep in her eyes.

Right now, Jared was her biggest hope.

She was still counting on him to go with her to the Fifteenth Firmament.

"If he isn't back within a month... then I'll storm the Celestial Palace and rip their front gate right off." Princess Lydia's temper had clearly kicked in.

"..."

Luther opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

In the end, he said nothing at all.

Forget it. Ms. Feenix had an even bigger temper than Jared.

This was not somebody to mess with. Definitely not.
