Chapter 1653 Leave Now


    “Perhaps we should leave now. We’re totally unprepared. I’m afraid barging in like that isn’t the way to


    go,” xseed said, trying to persuade Jared to leave.


    “Let me try again. We’ll retreat if I fail to enter this time.” Jared was not ready to give up as he slowly


    walked toward the brick gateway of Skywrath Sect.


    This time, Jared took a very cautious approach. He activated his spiritual energy and pushed it to the


    extreme before taking each step.


    Buzz! Just when he was about to set foot into Skywrath Sect, the air trembled all of a sudden.


    Jared was promptly startled, and he backed away almost immediately.


    Following that, a white-haired elderly appeared in the air, as if his image had been projected by a


    screen projector.


    “Who dares to trespass upon this ce? Leave now!” the elderly roared with a stern expression, and


    his tone was downright cial.


    Stunned, Jared was at a loss as he stared at the elderly floating in mid-air.


    As for xseed, he fell to his knees with a loud thud and greeted the elderly politely, “Sincerest


    greetings from a humble disciple, Elder.”


    “Who are you? Leave now!” the elderly reiterated. His voice was still icy cold.

    “Sir! We have great admiration for the charm spells of Skywrath Sect! We are here to seek guidance!”


    Jared expounded as he gazed at the elderly.


    “You imbecile! Skywrath Sect is not somewhere you can wander in and out freely. It’s best if you two


    leave the ce now. Otherwise, don’t me me for being ruthless!”


    Having said that, the elderly abruptly disappeared.


    Subsequently, another overwhelming wave of energy shot out from the depths of Skywrath Sect.


    Nevertheless, Jared was well-prepared this time. He immediately swung a punch when the wave of


    energy shot out.


    His golden fist shone brilliantly as it intercepted the wave of energy.


    Boom!


    The collision caused the ground to shake as if the whole world was trembling under the impact. A loud


    ringing noise reverberated incessantly at the same time.


    At that moment, Jared could feel his chest tightening, and he was shoved backward uncontrobly.


    “Let’s leave now, Jared! We shouldn’t be rash!”


    xseed rose to his feet and quickly grabbed hold of Jared’s hand. The duo then retreated from the


    ancient ruins at a shockingly fast pace.


    “I never expected that there would still be people living in the ancient ruins that date back thousands of


    years!” Jared eximed.


    He was utterly bewildered to meet an old man at such a ce.


    “That’s not a living person. It was just a hologram they retained by using charm spells. Yet, it’s


    surprising how they had predicted that people woulde for their treasures. After all, that was


    thousands of years ago!” xseed uttered with a frightened expression.


    Noticing the look in xseed’s eyes, Jared could tell that the former was incredibly afraid and nervous


    earlier.


    “It looks like we’ve got to n wisely before entering Skywrath Sect. Indeed, there was a reason why


    the ancient ruins of Skywrath Sect were written on thest few pages of that book…”


    Jared let out a long sigh after saying that.


    s, I can’t withstand the martial energy of the Skywrath Sect, even with my Golem Body and crazy


    physique… What lies ahead is beyond contemtion, I suppose.


    Meanwhile, Augustus and his subordinates were still waiting for the duo outside the ancient ruins.


    All of them were surprised to see Jared and xseed get out alive. At that moment, all of their eyes


    gleamed with admiration.


    Augustus, however, noticed that the duo’s expressions were dark, and their clothes were stained with


    dust and ashes.


    With that, he suggested, “Mr. Chance, let’s return to the sect to get some rest, shall we?”


    Jared merely nodded in response. He stole a nce at the entrance of the ancient ruins before leaving.


    Despite being a Greater Martial Arts Marquis, Jared had encountered incident after incident of defeat.


    First, it was the unknown ck-d men chasing after Hailey. Then it was the men from Hailey’s family.


    Now, he could not even enter an ancient ruin as he wanted for an investigation or a search.


    All these incidents were a major blow to his pride. It certainly made him realize that he still had much


    room for improvement.


    Since bing a Martial Arts Saint was nearly unheard of, a Martial Arts Marquis was said to be the


    most powerful individual in the martial arts world. Yet, judging from recent happenings, it was clear that


    the martial arts world was truly iparable to the heavenly realm.


    If not for the exhaustion of spiritual energy in the mundane world, there would not have been any ce


    for martial arts to flourish.
