Chapter 3013: Greater Trap


    Jared was even more puzzled after listening to the old man’s exnation. Since that was the


    unbreakable rule, why did the most recent chief of the Archaic Body cultivators spread the news of the


    treasurend? Not only that, I was given the real key to the treasure. He clearly wants me to find it, but


    why? Also, Jipsdale’s countess was the one who asked me to retrieve the Ice Soul Pill. What’s going


    on?


    As Jared pondered the situation further, he came to the realization that he had fallen into a muchrger


    and more intricate trap. The countess of Jipsdale, the chief of the Archaic Body cultivators, and Mason


    from the Tall family… they’re all connected!


    Initially, the chief of the Archaic Body cultivators imed to reveal the treasure’s location to stir up


    chaos in the far north, with the primary aim of preventing the Tall family from seizing the Archaic Body


    cultivators’ territory and resources.


    However, after spending time at the Tall residence, I’vee to realize that they aren’t actually hostile


    toward the Archaic Body cultivators. Moreover, there seems to be some kind of connection between the


    Archaic Body cultivators and the Tall family. Since the Ice Soul Pill can reconstruct one’s body, the


    countess of Jipsdale must be nning to use it to regenerate her own body.


    Now, the big question is, how did the countess of Jipsdale learn about the treasure’s location and the


    Ice Soul Pill? How did she know that the other half of the emerald badge was needed to form the real


    key to the treasure? What is the rtionship between the countess of Jipsdale and the Archaic Body


    cultivators? How did she be aware of the Ice Soul Pill’s existence among the treasure? And


    finally, what role does the Tall family y in all of this? I’m utterly baffled…


    “Since the Archaic Body cultivators have a rule forbidding its members from revealing the location of


    the treasure, why is it still leaked anyway?” inquired Jared.From N?velDrama.Org.


    The elderly man answered resignedly, “Do you really have to ask me that? When you entered the ce


    with the emerald badge, I knew what was bound to happen had urred. Ultimately, the descendants


    of the Archaic Body cultivation n wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation and would reveal the


    secret. Didn’t youe for the Ice Soul Pill because one of the Archaic Body cultivators mentioned it to


    you?”


    He asked that because only someone of n leader level would have knowledge of the treasurend


    containing the Ice Soul Pill.


    “Um… No, not really. A woman told me about it.. She treats my friend’s illness, so in return, I’m helping


    her to obtain the Ice Soul Pill,” answered Jared truthfully. Now that things had progressed to this point,


    he didn’t have the nerve to hide anything anymore.


    “Woman?” The elderly man frowned. “Women sure do bring trouble.” Jared was still in the dark about


    the true connection between Jipsdale’s countess and the n leader of the Archaic Body cultivators.


    Hence, he didn’t dare to reveal too much information.


    Jared and the elder chatted as they walked forward. After an indefinite amount of time, they stumbled


    upon a pce. Everyone was appalled when they took a good look at the pce. Jared frowned and


    grew tense as well.


    This was the same pce that Jared’s group had seen when they first entered this space and also the


    ce where they encountered that old viin. The elder grinned knowingly as he observed the crowd’s


    reaction. “Are you all scared to see this ce?”


    Although Jared didn’t say a word, his thoughts. were clearly reflected in his expression. Then, the elder


    strolled forward, pushed open the towering bronze door, and stepped inside the structure. Seeing the


    old man enter, Jared gritted his teeth and followed suit.


    The others stood there, dumbfounded. None of them dared to enter the pce again. They didn’t want


    to relieve the experience as the murderous scene was still fresh on their minds. Just as the crowd


    hesitated about what to do, the door suddenly mmed shut.


    “Mr. Chance!”


    “Jared!”


    Cloud, Sunny, and the others rushed forward, forcefully pushing the door but failed to make it budge.


    Jared stared at the closed door and suddenly became anxious.


    Warily, he fixed his gaze on the elderly man, worried that thetter would turn out to be that old viin.
