CHAPTER 2425 UNDERLINGS
As the group got closer, a look of shock spread across Kayden's face.
“What? Jared?”
Kayden was surprised to see Jared leading the group, with Chester and Wayne following closely behind.
“What are they doing here? Did they come to surrender?” Kayden mumbled to himself as he jumped off the tower and ran toward the room Lamar was in.
He wanted to inform Lamar about the situation, but Lamar had gotten so drunk that he passed out.
As such, Kayden had no choice but to take charge and lead their men out the front gate.
With the protection from the arcane array and the superiority in numbers, Kayden wasn't afraid to go against Chester and Wayne all by himself.
It didn't take long for Jared to arrive at the front gate of Zahrin Sect with his group.
“Mr. Chance, these towers are Zahrin Sect's pillars of support. The amount of energy required to sustain such a powerful arcane array is ridiculously huge, and it places a huge strain on the person casting it. That's why Zahrin Sect split that huge arcane array into many smaller ones and connected them using these towers. The top of the towers have purple crystals to supply the energy required for the arcane array,” Chester explained.
Jared shot Zahrin Sect's arcane array a glance and said with a sneer, “Arcane arrays that are connected in this fashion have a ton of weaknesses that we can exploit, so there is no need to fear it!”
Those words had barely left his mouth when Kayden showed up with his men.
“That's a very bold statement you're making there! I'll have you know that no one has ever managed to break through Zahrin Sect's arcane array! Chester and Wayne weren't able to do it either! Have you tried asking them about this?” Kayden said with a smug grin on his face.
“That's because I haven't tried to do so before. Had I come here sooner, your puny arcane array would've been broken through long ago!” Jared retorted.
“Pfft! Why don't you go ahead and prove your words, then? Try breaking through it right now! I'll be waiting inside!” Kayden snapped back at him.
Chester and Wayne have really high cultivation levels, and even they were unable to break through this arcane array! There's no way a guy like Jared could possibly do so!
“This puny arcane array of yours is so weak that I don't even have to do it myself! My underlings can do it for me!” Jared exclaimed in disdain.
“Underlings?” Kayden froze in shock.
Even Chester and Wayne were stunned when they heard that. What underlings? What's he talking about?
A loud cry echoed throughout the area, and a phoenix came flying toward them a second later.
The phoenix circled above Jared's head a couple of times before slowly landing beside him and transforming into a woman.
“Master!” Feenix greeted Jared respectfully. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Kayden drooled the moment his gaze fell upon Feenix's appearance.
“I-Is that an actual mythical creature? I can't believe it just transformed into a human! It's so pretty...” Kayden exclaimed while leering at Feenix.
Chester and Wayne, too, were staring at Feenix in shock.
A demon beast must be incredibly powerful if it can take on human form, and this is no ordinary demon beast, either. It's a phoenix! How did Jared get his hands on an actual mythical creature? The fact that it called him “Master” further confirms that it belongs to him!
“Mr. Chance, is this the underling that you're talking about?” Wayne asked.
He had assumed that Feenix was Jared's underling, but that was clearly not the case.
“This is my woman. My underlings are behind us,” Jared replied and shot Feenix a glance.
