Chapter 2445 Greenoxen Peak
The next day, Jared and Flaxseed headed straight for Spiritus Occultus Monastery.
It was only several hundred kilometers away from Jadeborough, so they were able to arrive atSpiritus Occultus Monastery in a few hours with their enhanced speed.
Spiritus Occultus Monastery used to be a vibrant place, with many people going there to meditate.
However, the place was deserted then. On their way to the monastery, Jared and Flaxseed did noteven come across a single soul.
As a matter of fact, when they arrived at Spiritus Occultus Monastery, they were shocked to see thatthe monastery was dilapidated. Dust covered every inch of the area as if the people had been gonefor a long, long time.
That sight made Jared's heart drop.
Upon stepping onto the grounds of Spiritus Occultus Monastery, they were greeted by overgrownweeds. There were no priests to be seen at all.
“It looks like the blacksmith master I encountered back then isn't around anymore,” Flaxseedcommented when he noticed how bleak the place was. It was apparent that no one had beenstaying at the monastery for years.
Jared sighed. Disappointed, he muttered, “Let's go...”
Right as the two of them were about to leave, a gust of aura rushed toward them. In the nextsecond, a figure stood in their way.
When Jared focused his eyes on the figure, he realized that the person standing before them was agrubby-faced old priest dressed in tattered priest attire.
“Misters, since you're at Spiritus Occultus Monastery, why don't you sit down and meditate a littlebefore leaving?” the old priest said to Jared and Flaxseed.
Flaxseed gave the old priest a look over before he quickly piped up, “Do you remember me? Wemet once several years ago.”
The old priest glanced at Flaxseed before shaking his head regretfully. “I have wandered manyplaces and seen many people. How am I to remember every single face I've come across?”
“It's okay even if you don't remember me. We're here to ask a favor of you.”
Flaxseed was not at all angry at the old priest for not remembering who he was.
“A favor?” The old priest was stunned. “Look at me. What can I possibly help you with?”
“I know that you're a blacksmith master. My friend here has a chipped sword, and he would like toask for your help restoring it,” Flaxseed truthfully answered.
“I see,” the old priest said, inclining his head. “It's just restoring a sword, so that's something I cando. However, what good will I get from doing this for you?”
“You can have anything you want if you fix my sword for me. I won't say no even if you ask torestore the entire Spiritus Occultus Monastery,” Jared swiftly offered.
“A generous young man, I see. But this monastery isn't mine, so why would I want to restore it?” theold priest muttered with another shake of his head. “If I restore your sword, you'll need to rescuesomeone for me.”
“Who is it?” Jared and Flaxseed asked in unison.
“You don't need to care about their identity; all you need to do is know that this person is imprisonedin Fire Incineration Sect's dungeon. If you agree to this, I can even forge a sword for you, let alonethe mere request of restoring your blade,” the old priest uttered.
“Fire Incineration Sect?” Jared blurted out. Both he and Flaxseed were flabbergasted.
They had never heard of a sect with that name.
“Where is this Fire Incineration Sect? I've never heard of it before.”
Jared was a man who knew the mundane world, the hidden realm, and the secret realms well. Yet,he had never heard of Fire Incineration Sect.
“You don't even know Fire Incineration Sect? It's located on the side of Greenoxen Peak. How couldyou not have heard of this major sect before?” the old priest blurted out, astounded.
His response only befuddled Jared and Flaxseed further, for they did not even know whereGreenoxen Peak was located.
“G-Greenoxen Peak isn't a place we've heard of either...” Jared squeezed out helplessly.
“What? How could you not have heard of Greenoxen Peak as well? Greenoxen Peak is—”
Right as the old priest was about to chide Jared and Flaxseed, he suddenly froze as if he hadthought of something. Then, the waterworks began. He started bawling.
The abrupt change in his mood startled Jared and Flaxseed.novelbin
