Chapter 2452 Still Need To Go


    After journeying for a while, the young woman pointed at a spot not too distant from them. “Rock


    Vige is up ahead. Thank you for saving me. I can return by myself.”


    As she spoke, she grabbed the demon beast from xseed and strolled toward her home.


    Stunned, xseed peered at the young woman with confusion. “What an impolite girl. We rescued and


    escorted her home, yet she didn''t even invite us to her home for a drink?”


    Jared was somewhat baffled, too. She doesn''t look ill-mannered, so why didn''t she propose we visit her


    vige?


    Hammerhead noticed the duo''s confusion and rified, “The humans in the Ethereal Realm are very


    wary of each other. A small vige like hers probably doesn''t allow any strangers to enter.”


    In response, Jared was astounded. Why are people in the Ethereal Realm so cautious of each other?


    Still, since the youngdy didn''t invite us in, it''d be rude for us to follow her home by force and cause


    unnecessary misunderstandings. Now that she''s back home safely, it''s time for us to set out for


    Greenoxen Peak—


    Just as the trio was about to leave, they were surrounded by burly men in pelt clothing and weapons.


    When Jared swept his gaze past those people, he realized none of them were strong. In fact, they were


    only about as powerful as the young woman.


    The hostility in their eyes confounded him because he was certain he hadn''t antagonized anyone in the


    Ethereal Realm. Why are they treating us as though we''re enemies?


    “Who are you people? Why did youe to Rock Vige?” a young man with a giant sword


    interrogated sternly.


    “We were only escorting a youngdy back to her home. She''s a resident of Rock Vige, which is why


    we''re here,” exined Jared.


    “You brought someone from Rock Vige back home?” The young man frowned.


    “Don''t listen to his nonsense, Ali! I bet they''re spies from Cyan Vige here to investigate Rock Vige''s


    situation! Let''s capture them first,” a beefy man suggested with a glower.


    The young man studied the trio and waved his hand. “Round them up first.”


    Just as around eight brawny men approached the trio, xseed flexed his fingers, ready to attack.


    He could eradicate them all with ease before they could even touch him.


    At that moment, the young woman who left not too long ago suddenly returned and shouted, “Don''t hurt


    them, Ali! They protected me and sent me back home.”


    She stood in front of Jared''s group protectively, preventing the muscr men from getting close.


    “What''s going on, Emily?” asked Ali.


    Emily swiftly recounted her meeting with the trio and showed Ali and the others the demon beast''s


    corpse.

    It wasn''t until they saw the body that they believed her words.


    Still, that wasn''t enough to erase Ali''s hostility and suspicion toward Jared''s group.


    “Since you lot rescued Emily, pleasee to Rock Vige. We''ll show you hospitality and requite you


    three,” said Ali.


    “No need. We still have other matters to attend to, so we won''t be disturbing you.” After that incident,


    Jared didn''t want to waste time at Rock Vige anymore. Besides, it''s obvious they still treat us as


    enemies.


    “You saved someone from our vige, so we should show you our gratitude. It''s our settlement''s rule.


    Please, follow me,” insisted Ali, leaving no room for negotiation.


    Just as he ended his sentence, the other burly men blocked Jared''s group''s path.


    It would seem Jared''s group had to follow the men, whether they wanted to or not.
