The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6618

"You... you are Jared?"

Magnus's voice shook.

Of course he had heard the name.

The Hall of Radiance had fallen.

The Ember God Palace had fallen.

Both had fallen because of this young man.

Magnus had never imagined that Jared would come to the Inferno Devil bloodline.

Jared looked at him with calm violet eyes.

"I am looking for someone."

"Who?" Magnus asked, his voice hoarse.

"Josephine."

Jared spoke evenly, but the cold underneath his words made the hall tense. "Some time ago, she appeared near celestial territory with demonic cultivators from your Inferno Devil bloodline. Where is she now?"

Magnus's face changed at once.

He knew Josephine.

She was the holy maiden of the Inferno Devil bloodline.

"She... she is not in the Eighteenth Firmament anymore."

Cold light appeared in Jared's eyes.

"Where?"

Magnus swallowed. Hesitation flashed across his black eyes.

He was weighing whether to lie.

If he told the truth, maybe Jared would spare him.

If he lied...

His gaze slid toward the deep trench outside in the square, and his body shivered.

"She... she went to the Nineteenth Firmament."

Jared's brows tightened slightly.

"The Nineteenth Firmament. Where exactly?"

Magnus shook his head. "I do not know. Holy Maiden Josephine came here suddenly, and she did not stay long. She was injured some time ago. Once she recovered, she said she was going to the Nineteenth Firmament. I truly do not know where she went after that. I had no right to ask."

Jared was silent.

His violet eyes locked onto Magnus like sharpened blades.

Under that stare, Magnus felt as if his skin were being peeled away. Large beads of sweat rolled from his forehead, and he instinctively shrank back.

"You are not lying to me."

It was not quite a question.

"No! Absolutely not!"

Magnus waved his hands over and over, almost frantic. "Every word is true! Holy Maiden Josephine really went to the Nineteenth Firmament. If I lied, may lightning split me apart and leave me without a whole corpse!"

Jared said nothing for a long while.

His face showed no emotion, but Gwendolyn could see the turmoil buried in his eyes.

Disappointment.

Concern.

And a faint relief that could not be put into words.

Josephine was not dead.

She had gone to the Nineteenth Firmament.

As long as she was alive, he would find her.

"Where is the patron sect of the Inferno Devil bloodline in the Nineteenth Firmament?" Jared asked.

Magnus shook his head again. "I really do not know. The patron sect in the Nineteenth Firmament and our Eighteenth Firmament branch only communicate one way. They can contact us. We cannot contact them."

Jared's frown deepened.

He could not prove whether Magnus was telling the truth, but the man's eyes did not look false.

He truly did not know.

Jared turned to Gwendolyn.

"We go to the Nineteenth Firmament."

Gwendolyn was quiet for a moment, then nodded.

"All right."

Jared walked out of the hall with her.

His violet eyes looked toward the far horizon.

That was the direction of the Nineteenth Firmament.

And the direction where Josephine had gone.

He never looked back at Magnus.
