After a good while, when Trystan saw that Clifford had finally caught up, he loudly reprimanded him, “What took you so long? Why did it take you half a day to catch up?” “Master, I'm feeling a bit of a stomach upset,” Clifford nervously explained, his eyes constantly darting around the surroundings.
He wanted to see if Stephen and his team had managed to catch up! However, after walking for a while, Clifford did not spot any sign of Stephen and his companions, which inevitably led to his growing frustration.
At that moment, on the path that Jared and his companions had to take, Stephen was setting up an arcane array with those four cultivators.
“To ensure our plan is successful, | have no choice but to utilize the expensive arcane array charm | purchased.
However, capturing Jared will make these losses worthwhile.” Stephen held the arcane array charm in his hand. Despite the reluctance in his heart, he still channeled a stream of spiritual energy into it, beginning to set it up.

If that young man managed to provoke Demon Seal Alliance into issuing a Decree of Execution, he must certainly be strong,” Marco said to Stephen.
“Once we lure Jared into the arcane array, he won't be able to escape, so don’t worry.” Stephen's eyes were filled with confidence.
He had purchased this array charm at an extremely high price and had always used it as a protective charm.
This is more than enough to deal with Jared! Just as Stephen and the others had finished setting up Bl rcane array, Jared and his group arrived! “Huh, how did you all end up here?” Upon seeing Stephen and his companions, Trystan was instantly stunned.
Dr. Livingstone had left in a direction earlier, so could he suddenly appear before us now? Upon seeing Stephen and his companions, a subtle smile spread across Clifford's face.
Upon seeing Trystan, Stephen gave a faint smile and said, “Mr. Pruitt, it truly is fate. | didn’t expect to run into you again!” However, as he spoke, Stephen’s gaze would inadvertently drift toward Jared. Even the other four cultivators were subtly casting glances at Jared.
Upon seeing the situation, Jared's brows slightly furrowed. Subsequently, his consciousness gradually expanded, and in an instant, he detected spiritual energy fluctuations ahead of them! “An arcane array had been laid out ahead?” After Jared expanded his consciousness, he immediately sensed that someone had set up an arcane array ahead, bringing him to alertness.
“Dr. Livingstone, | wonder if you were intentionally waiting for us here, or did we just happen to run into you again?” Trystan also felt something amiss, as if Stephen had deliberately led his men to wait for them up ahead.
“Why would | purposely wait for you? We were merely chasing a demon beast just now, which is why we ended up here.” “If you have matters to attend to, feel free to leave. I'm not stopping you,” Stephen said with a smile.
Although Trystan felt that something was amiss, he didn’t say anything more after hearing Stephen’s words.
Instead, he continued to lead Jared and the others forward.
Jared didn’t utter a word. Instead, he walked straight ahead, leading the way. As they passed by Stephen and his companions, Clifford cast a somewhat puzzled glance at Stephen.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe couldn’t understand why Stephen wasn’t taking any action.
Just as Clifford was confused, a blistering white flash suddenly streaked across. Following that, Jared, who was right in front of them, vanished in an instant.
When the radiance faded, Jared's figure reappeared.
However, by this time, Jared's figure was already within a massive transparent barrier.
“Mr. Chance...” Upon witnessing this scene, Faiyar was taken aback and immediately rushed forward, but he was instantly propelled away by an immense force.
“Mr. Chance...” Both Trystan and Serena were taken aback.
The two instinctively wanted to run toward Jared but were stopped by him. “Don’t cover,” he warned. “I'm trapped in an arcane array. If you cover, you'll be repelled!” “How did this happen?” Trystan wore a face full of confusion, unable to comprehend how an arcane array could suddenly appear in such a desolate and wild area.
