Chapter 3778

“What am I supposed to do, then? Is there really no way to reach the other side?” Jared asked.
“Of course there is. Just go around it. My sword didn’t strike that far. Did you really think I could split the
Ethereal Realm into two?”
Upon hearing this, Jared realized that the only option was to go around it. He hoped that the distance
wasn’t too far just as Vermilion Demon Lord had mentioned.
“Mr. Chance, I’ll scout ahead. There are so many polar stones on the other side. It would truly be a
shame if we didn’t seize them,” Bianca stated.
“Don’t! It’s too dangerous. You can’t cross this crevice directly. If you want to, you need to go around it.”
“Go around it?”
Bianca was stunned.
The other holy maidens were somewhat puzzled. Although the crevice appeared wide, it still seemed
quite easy to cross over.
“Didn’t you see the stone I just threw was instantly torn apart by the force within the crevice?”
“It’s just a stone. What can it possibly represent? The strength of our bodies can’t be compared to a
mere stone,” Yuliya said.
“Exactly. As long as we cloak ourselves with our aura, we’ll be fine. If we were to go around it, who
knows how long it would take.”
Bianca also objected to going around the crevice. After all, the crevice was so deep that they couldn’t
see the end at first glance.Piles of polar stones are right before our eyes, yet we have to go around it. What if someone else
discovers them?
“Go around it. That’s an order,” Jared commanded with a stern expression.
He couldn’t possibly use people as guinea pigs, and Vermilion Demon Lord surely wouldn’t lie.
Hearing that, Bianca fell silent. After all, before they left, Nieva had instructed them to follow Jared’s
command.
And they had witnessed Jared’s true strength, so they indeed submitted to him. Yuliya, on the other
hand, had a different opinion, but she didn’t say anything.
Jared took the lead, guiding the way a dozen miles ahead. The numerous holy maidens followed
behind. In case of danger, they would be able to retreat promptly.
As they moved forward, Yuliya asked Bianca, “Bianca, why are you guys following Jared’s orders? The
polar stones are right in front of us, yet we’re not allowed to take them. Instead, we have to take a
detour. When on earth will we get there if we keep this up?”
“Yuliya, this is Ms. Nieva’s wish. We should follow Mr. Chance’s plans,” Bianca said.
“We will follow Jared. You just need to secretly send two holy maidens over to retrieve the polar stones.
Jared won’t find out. Once the polar stones are retrieved, we’ll see what he has to say then. It’s just a
crevice. How terrifying can it possibly be?”
Although Yuliya was older, she was only in charge of managing the disciples from the outer circle.
When it came to the holy maidens, she had no authority to give orders. Her only option was to seek
Bianca.
“Yuliya, this isn’t right. If Mr. Chance finds out, he’ll be angry.”Bianca found herself in a bit of a predicament.
“Don’t worry. We’re only after the polar stones too. Once we have them, he won’t have anything to say.”
Bianca hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said, “All right, I’ll make the arrangements.”
Following this, Bianca sent the last two holy maidens. As the others moved forward, she had them
discreetly cross the crevice to retrieve the polar stones.
The two holy maidens nodded and began to make preparations.
novelbinJared had no idea about Bianca’s plans. He was still up ahead, scouting the path. After all, this place
was an uncharted territory, and no one knew what dangers there might be.
Bianca and her companions trailed behind. They had just advanced a little when the last two holy
maidens exchanged a glance, then leaped up with all their might.
The two of them suddenly took off into the air, heading straight for the other side of the crevice.
Just as the two of them had reached the area above the crevice, suddenly an overwhelming aura,
sharp as knife blades, gushed out from within the crevice.
Before the two holy maidens could react, they were instantly shattered by this overwhelming force,
plummeting into the abyss of the crevice.
