“Hmph! I guess you're just that scared of Jared. You've grown soft from watching over this city all these years, old man!”
Kayson was filled with disdain toward his own father, believing that the latter was a coward who felt content just from ruling the small city they lived in.
“Say that again, you brat!”
Austin raised a hand to strike his son, causing him to run away in fright.
“I'll never forgive you for this, Jared Chance!” the latter swore to himself anyway.
Exasperated by his own son, Austin panted as his face turned pale.
Despite being the mayor of Norham, he could never seem to handle this son of his.
Back inside the Demon Sect's secret realm, Jared and Flaxseed had stealthily made their way to the border and were now right in front of the chaos dimension.
No one had gotten in their way throughout the journey, nor did anyone guard them.
After all, this secret realm belonged to Demon Sect, so there were no safety concerns.
As soon as they approached the chaos dimension, the murderous intent made it difficult for them to proceed.
They couldn't see anything before them no matter how hard they tried. It was as though they had been caught in a sandstorm.
The two tried to resist the murderous intent and press forward, only to be held back by an invisible force. It was virtually impossible to advance.
“Is this really the end of the realm?”
Jared extended his arm, but it was pushed back by the invisible force.
“The chaos dimension isn't just an empty vacuum. Why can't we get through?” Flaxseed asked in befuddlement while still trying to peer ahead.
“I'll try using my spiritual sense,” Jared proposed before immediately unleashing the ability.
The spiritual sense quickly bypassed the invisible force as if there was nothing holding it back.
Ecstatic, Jared hurriedly extended the technique into the chaos dimension.
Yet, as soon as his spiritual sense trespassed into the dimension, the murderous intent severed his ability and sent him staggering backward.
Blood trickled out of Jared's mouth.
“Such terrifying murderous intent. But if I can get in using my spiritual sense, that means there has to be something in here,” he concluded while wiping the blood off the corner of his lips.
Seeing that, Flaxseed dared not try the same method that Jared had used.
The two could only stare ahead at the chaos dimension in a daze. We know something clearly lies ahead of us, but we can't get in.
“If only I'd reached the Spirit Divider stage and can detach my soul from my body, then I'd be able to get past this mess,” Jared lamented.
Alas, he was still at the Manifestor stage and had a long way to go before reaching the next tier.
If he could separate his soul from his body, he could then bypass the murderous intent easily and take a look inside the chaos dimension.
“Jared, one of our charm spells includes being able to eject a person's soul from their body, but the spell can only be used for a very short time. Perhaps you can look into this?” Flaxseed suggested.
Hearing that, Jared grew elated as countless spells from Skywrath Sect flashed in his mind.
It didn't take long for him to come across a soul-separating spell. However, the talisman was especially difficult to paint, and the amount of time one's soul could stay detached from the body greatly depended on the charm master's abilities.
“Give me some talisman papers, Mr. Flaxseed. I'll give it a try.”
Deciding to give it a shot, Jared asked for a few pieces of talisman paper.
After receiving them from Flaxseed, he held one in the air, bit his finger, and began to draw on the paper with his blood.
Before long, a faint light emanated from the man's fingertip as lines began to form on the talisman paper.
