A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5146

No sooner had he spoken than Flaxseed froze, his features turning rigid.

“Jared, do you feel that?”

He edged closer and dropped his voice. “Someone's on our tail.”

A faint smile tugged at Jared's lips, golden light flashing in his eyes. “Five of them, all Level Nine Wandering Immortals. They're from that organization.”

Only that shadowy group possessed such strength; Jared could think of no one else.

Here in the Third Heaven, a Level Nine Wandering Immortal was strong enough to lead an entire sect.

Yet every operative of this organization seemed to wield comparable power; according to Everett, their territory lay beyond the reach of the Third Heaven's laws.

“So should we...”

Flaxseed mimed a throat-slitting gesture.

Jared gave a slight shake of his head. “Let them follow. I'm curious what they're planning.”

He had noticed their presence long before but had kept silent; if they wished to tail him, he would permit it.

Five Level Nine Wandering Immortals were still within his ability to handle.

Dropping the subject, Flaxseed sidled closer to Everett and began digging for information about Bloodshadow Palace.

After all, Everett hailed from the Third Heaven and surely knew the sect well.

“Mr. Cloud, is it true that Bloodshadow Palace really has over ten thousand female cultivators? What are they like?” Flaxseed pressed.

Everett offered a wry smile. “Mr. Flaxseed, they're all renowned beauties. The Saintess herself is hailed as the most stunning woman in the Third Heaven, though she's equally infamous for her ruthless nature. She practices the Bloodshadow Grand Art, which requires absorbing a man's vital essence. Over the years, hundreds—maybe thousands—have perished beneath her charms.”

“Hold on—so every woman there advances through that kind of black magic? Then none of them are virgins?”

Flaxseed's disappointment showed in the crease of his brow.
