“What a piece of trash! How dare you call yourself a mage with such skill level? You are an utter waste of resources. Make haste, will you?” bellowed Emiliano in annoyance.
If they continued being trapped, others would benefit at their expense. However, there was no choice-the first people to enter the ancient ruins would definitely suffer more than others.
Nevertheless, there was nothing the mages could do but accelerate while Emiliano sat at the side with a frown. The arcane array, which seemed so harmless, was able to trap them for such a long period of time. Truly, Narcissus Palace lived up to its reputation. At that moment, Emiliano twisted his head to the side and glanced over. An unpleasant look spread across his face.
“Oh no! Someone’s heading toward us. We must not let them surpass us. Hurry up!” urged Emiliano anxiously when he sensed that people were coming.
Jared and Skyler simultaneously looked in the same direction. Waves of Martial Arts God aura surged toward the depths of the forest from the entrance.
“Did someone enter again, Mr. Chance?” asked Skyler when she sensed the aura. “Yeah. There’s quite a few too. Looks like it’s going to get crowded,” replied Jared solemnly. The more people there were, the harder it was to obtain the magical item in the ancient ruins..
Boom! Boom! Boom! A series of explosions sounded. Two elderly wearing white headscarves were chopping at the tree in front of them. The humongous tree, which was split in half, fell over to the sides like straws, revealing a wide road that cut through the forest.
A carriage appeared on the road that had just been opened, carried by four young women in white dresses. and an eight trigram was embedded at the top of the carriage.
Soon, those people arrived in front of Jared. When Skyler saw the carriage, she frowned and asked, “Why is the sissy here too?” “The sissy?” Jared was stunned, not understanding what Skyler was talking about.
“He’s Avery Lindt, the eldest heir of Flying Star Sect. Although he’s a man, he dresses up like a woman every day. How disgusting!” spat Skyler with a look of repulsion.
At that moment, the carriage stopped, and the curtains parted. A person clothed in white and with heavy make-up stepped out of it. He looked extremely alluring, with every single one of his actions exuding a seductive charm.
Jared was dumbfounded when he saw the person alight from the carriage. Is this the eldest heir of Flying Star Sect whom Skyler mentioned? He’s a man? “Mr. Chance, this guy is a little perverted. You must be careful…”
When Skyler spotted Jared staring at Avery intently, she reminded softly, “He’s really a man. Don’t be fooled by his appearance!” As soon as Avery walked out of the carriage and spotted Skyler, he smiled. “What a coincidence! I didn’t expect to bump into you here, Skyler…”
Striding forward briskly, he greeted Skyler enthusiastically and was about to hold her hand. However, she avoided him in disgust. “Why are you here too, Mr. Lindt?” Skyler asked Avery.
“There’s some abnormal activity in the Kazillion Mountains. Since the ancient ruins of Narcissus Palace have possibly emerged, I obviously have to come and take a look. What if I manage to get my hands on some precious items?” explained Avery with a smile.
Only then did Jared finally believe that this seductive-looking person was actually a man, for his Adam’s Apple was quite obvious. While he was speaking to Skyler, Avery cast his gaze onto Jared as well. He was stunned for a moment before a lustful look flashed across his eyes.
When Jared sensed Avery’s intense stare, he shivered, and goosebumps crept up his arm. “Skyler, who’s this handsome lad? He looks unfamiliar. He isn’t from Luminous Sect, right?” Avery asked Skyler.
