The Man’s Decree

Gael narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze firmly fixed on Harlan.

“Mr. Cunningham, deactivate the arcane array and release Jared. If it really comes down to a fight, I won’t hesitate to battle to the death. By then, Violet Flame Sect will be destroyed, and no one can dream of becoming its leader.” Juliet was solely focused on saving Jared, even if she had to bring down Violet Flame Sect.

“Indeed! Even if Violet Flame Sect is destroyed, we will not compromise!” Judd also exclaimed loudly.

Gael’s disciples were all roused, shouting with their arms raised high. None of them feared death. They were all ready to battle against Harlan, even if it meant risking their lives.

They either free Jared, or they’d all go down together in a blaze of glory.

Harlan didn’t expect Gael’s disciples to be incredibly resilient. For a moment, he was overwhelmed with frustration, yet there was nothing he could do about it.

If a battle to the death occurred, there was a chance that Violet Flame Sect might vanish into the annals of history.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Rohan was also moved, so he decided to close the arcane array.

However, Jared spoke up. “If I wanted to flee, this arcane array could hardly stop me. Even if the arcane array is shut down, I won’t run away. I don’t want to involve others. You all can rest easy. If I want Berthold dead, he wouldn’t stand a chance. Even if he and his father teamed up, I still wouldn’t be threatened.”

Jared stopped Rohan from closing the arcane array.

The arcane array couldn’t stop Jared, but without it, relying solely on the light curtain shield would likely be insufficient to withstand the terrifying aftershocks. If that happened, it would spell trouble for the other disciples of Violet Flame Sect.

For a moment, Rohan was at a loss for what to do. His only option was to look toward Gael for guidance.

Gael stared at Jared, noticing that there was not a trace of panic in the latter’s eyes. Instead, Jared seemed somewhat amused. Seeing that, Gael waved his hand, signaling Rohan to step back.

He chose to trust Jared. Perhaps Jared might have some secrets we don’t know about, considering the plentiful of surprises he had presented until now.

When Harlan saw Jared was still showing off, a hint of disdain appeared at the corner of his mouth. Once Berthold reaches Ultimate Realm, and I use my Divine Flame Seal, no matter how formidable Jared is, he can’t escape death!

As Harlan was quietly waiting for Berthold’s lightning tribulation, a voice filled with unparalleled fury echoed through. “You punk! How dare you make a fool out of me! I’m going to make your life a living hell!”

Following that, the light from the arcane array set up around Jared and Berthold began to flicker abruptly.

When people turned to the origin of the voice, they saw it was Carlo.

He was ensnared in Jared’s illusion, witnessing his father and his wife cuckolding him. For a moment, he was driven to the brink of madness by anger.

After the duel between Jared and Berthold, no one paid attention to Carlo. As such, Carlo slowly regained his senses from the illusion.

When he realized he’d been made a fool of in front of so many onlookers, he felt like his lungs were about to explode with fury.

Carlo waved his hands. Surprisingly, the arcane array set up by Rohan began to shimmer with light. Following that, the intricate patterns within the array started to morph continuously.

The intricate array runes turned bloody red. Chains of crimson, like shackles, firmly locked the arcane array in place.

With that, no one could hope to escape from that arcane array.

In the void, the red chains kept rising, enveloping the vast expanse of tribulation clouds.

Upon seeing the situation, Gael immediately shouted, “Mr. Cunningham, stop him!”

Jared was already in a precarious situation dealing with Berthold. With Carlo stepping into the picture, he was certainly no match for the two of them. At least, that was what Gael believed.

Others had little understanding of arcane arrays, so they could only rely on Rohan to stop Carlo from utilizing the arcane array.

Upon witnessing the array arcane array executed by Carlo, Rohan was immediately taken aback, his eyes wide open in shock on the spot.
