The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6190

Cloudhaven City

Outside the Teleportation Hall.

The sunlight was bright, and the sky was a pure, washed blue.

In the distance, dozens of giant dragons wheeled through the air.

Their golden scales threw off dazzling flashes under the sun, and the low sound of dragon roars carried over, heavy with majesty.

Jared had only just helped Evelyn out of the Teleportation Hall when several figures came racing in from afar.

At the front was Roland.

Behind him came Luther, Grace, and Vivian.

"Your Majesty!"

Roland dropped in front of Jared, surprise written all over his face.

He was just about to bow when his expression suddenly changed.

His gaze landed on Jared's pale face, then on the weak rise and fall of his aura, then on the blood still left at the corner of his mouth.

"Your Majesty! You're hurt?!"

Roland's voice came out tight with shock, with heat already rising underneath it.

He could tell right away that Jared's aura was far weaker than when he had left, and the power of the bloodline inside him had thinned by more than half.

Luther and Grace rushed over too. The moment they saw Jared like this, both of them stopped short.

"Mr. Chance, you... what happened to you?"

Luther asked the question in a rush, his eyes fixed on Jared.

Grace didn't speak, but the look in her eyes said enough.

Vivian stood off to the side. At first, seeing Jared return alive lit her face up, but the moment she noticed the unfamiliar woman in his arms, that change halted for a beat.

The woman was stunning, with a cold, distant air about her.

Right then, she was leaning weakly against Jared.

She was covered in wounds, and her clothes were torn to pieces, but none of it could hide the way she carried herself.

Something sharp and sour rose in Vivian's chest for no clear reason.

She forced it down almost at once, then hurried forward and asked, "Jared, you're hurt? How bad is it?"

Jared shook his head and managed a weak smile.

"I'm fine. I'm not dying."

He paused, then looked at Roland.

"Let's get back first. We'll talk there."

Roland nodded at once and stepped up to support Jared himself.

Then the group rose into the air and flew toward the city lord mansion.

......

Chance Manor.

the main hall.

Jared sat in the seat of honor, with Evelyn Ashcroft seated at his side.

Roland, Luther, Grace, and Vivian sat on the left and right sides.

Jared picked up his cup, took a sip of spirit tea, and slowly opened his mouth.

"I was deceived in the Luminous Sanctuary."

Then he laid out everything that had happened to him in the Celestial Basilica, point by point, without leaving anything out.

He started with the bloodline test, then Alaric Vale receiving him, then entering the ritual array, then Cillian Vale turning on him, then Evelyn Ashcroft risking her life to save him, then the appearance of the mysterious woman Lydia Wraithmoor, and finally the escape that followed.

By the time they finished listening, every face in the room had turned dark.

"Bastards!"

Luther slammed a hand on the table and shot to his feet. "What kind of holy land of the righteous path is that? They're just beasts wearing human skin!"

As a member of the Ghost Clan, he had never had much goodwill toward those so-called righteous cultivators to begin with. After hearing what the Celestial Basilica had done, he couldn't hold anything back.

Grace was shaking all over too. "How could they do something like that?! They promised to save people, then turned around and tried to kill them! Are they even human?!"
