The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6189

In the days that followed, the three of them began a hard flight through the wilds.

The path Evelyn chose was as remote as she'd said, taking them through barren mountains and empty backcountry where almost no one ever went.

Sometimes they had to climb along sheer cliffs.

Sometimes they had to push through dark, dense woods while avoiding attacks from demon beasts.

The pursuers from the Celestial Basilica and the Hallowmere Order stayed on their heels. More than once, the three of them came close to being found.

One time, they had barely left a vale when people from the Celestial Basilica arrived behind them.

If Evelyn hadn't set up a warding array in advance, the three of them likely would have been trapped inside.

Another time, they ran into a squad of patrol disciples from the Hallowmere Order in the mountains.

Lydia had been about to make a move, but Jared stopped her. The three of them hid in the brush, holding their breath as they watched those people pass right by them.

That short stretch of time felt longer than a year.

Evelyn's injuries kept getting worse, but she gritted her teeth and pressed on, never once saying she was tired.

Jared saw all of it. It sat there in front of him, and there was nothing he could do. All he could do was rest whenever he had the chance, recover his strength as fast as possible, and get them out of danger sooner.

Lydia barely spoke the whole way. She simply stayed by their side and kept watch over the two of them.

Whenever pursuers got close, she always sensed them ahead of time and led the other two away before they could be caught.

Her presence became the one thing the other two could lean on most.

That day, the three of them finally arrived in front of a city.

The city wasn't large, but its defenses were tight. Formation markings covered the walls, and soldiers stood guard at the gate, checking every person who went in or out.

Evelyn pointed at the city and said weakly, "Young Master Jared, this is the place. There are Teleportation Arrays here that lead all across the Fourteenth Firmament. As long as we can get inside, we can teleport back to Cloudhaven City."

Jared looked at the city, his brow tightening.

Getting into the city would be easy enough, but the moment they used the Teleportation Array, they would be exposed.

People from the Celestial Basilica and the Hallowmere Order had definitely planted watchers near it.

Lydia seemed to catch his concern. "I'll draw them away."

Jared froze for a beat and looked at her.

Lydia's face didn't change, and her voice stayed even. "You already owe me twice. One more won't matter. After you get into the city, go straight to the Teleportation Array. Don't waste any time. I'll do what I can to hold them off."

Jared was quiet for a moment, then slowly nodded.

"Take care."

The corner of Lydia's mouth lifted slightly as she said it.

"You too. After we leave, you can come find me in Cloudhaven City. That friend of mine from the Ghost Clan is there too," Jared said.

"All right..."

As soon as the word left her mouth, her figure flashed and turned into a streak of black light, flying off in another direction.

A moment later, startled cries and the sounds of fighting rose from the distance.

Jared drew in a deep breath, steadied Evelyn at his side, and walked her toward the city gate.

The guards at the gate only gave them a brief inspection before waving the two of them through.

Still supporting Evelyn, Jared hurried across the streets and made straight for the Teleportation Hall in the center of the city.

Outside the Teleportation Hall, there were indeed disciples of the Celestial Basilica watching from the shadows.

But right then, all of them had their attention pulled by the commotion outside the city, and every one of them was looking that way.

Jared took the chance and brought Evelyn into the Teleportation Hall.

Inside, a white-haired old man sat there in meditation.

When he saw the two of them come in, he opened his eyes.
