The water dragon ascended to the sky after achieving enlightenment from Jared, whose cultivation level received a
boost as well.
That was why Tiger King believed Jared had a way to help increase someone’s power. Jared smiled and replied with
a nod, “That’s no problem. I’ll enlighten you once you reach Ascendance.”
Delighted after hearing that, Tiger King immediately lowered its head and allowed Jared to ride on its back.
Jared then motioned at everyone to ride on the backs of the other silver tigers. As the silver tigers had been living in
Mount Crimson all their lives, they were able to traverse the terrain a lot faster than Jared and his party.
The journey would have originally taken them a whole day and a night, but the silver tigers managed to get them
out of Mount Crimson within a day.
After saying goodbye to Jared and the others, Tiger King led its subordinate back into Mount Crimson.

“Nothing much. Hurry up and retrieve the airship so we can get some rest in there. We’ve been travelling all night,”
Jared replied.
Hamish stepped forward and halted them, stating, “We’re currently in the southern region. Salinsburgh City is
approximately a thousand miles away, and Demonia Mountain lies just beyond the city. This area, being the border,
tends to be quite tumultuous. Moreover, Salinsburgh City is the final location for resupply before entering Demonia
Mountain, making it inevitably crowded. Boarding the airship at this moment would draw excessive attention. I
recommend maintaining a low profile since it’s not too far away.”
As Hamish was the leader of the group, his words carried a lot of authority. Jared motioned at Cloud to stow the
airship away, and the group began heading toward Salinsburgh City on foot.
Along the way, Jared noticed that the area was indeed rather chaotic. Demon beasts were spotted even in towns
where cultivators resided.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, fights would often break out between the towns as well. In order to ensure their
safety during their journey, Jared and his party picked the routes where they would encounter the least amount of
people.
Even so, they still saw lots of dead demon beasts and cultivators lying on the roads. Jared couldn’t help but feel as
though the southern region was no different from a wasteland.
They spent a whole night walking and only took a short break halfway through the journey. At sunrise, they finally
arrived at Salinsburgh City.
Salinsburgh City was not as big as Yellow Blue City, nor was it as luxurious. The moat wasn’t all that big, but the
queue at the city gate was incredibly long.
“It seems these people are all headed for Demonia Mountain in search of magical items. They don’t even know if
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthere will be any!” Izolda said with a sneer as she stared at the people queuing at the gate.
Misho shot her a fierce glare in response. “Shut your mouth!”
“Come on, let’s go find a place to stay and rest for a day or two. After that, we’ll head straight to Demonia
Mountain,” Hamish said.
Since he was the leader, everyone followed in his lead and entered Salinsburgh City with him. Meanwhile, Xanthus
and Hyrum were searching for something on the streets of Salinsburgh City.
“Elder Fabrizio, could it be that Salinsburgh City doesn’t have any Demon Seal Alliance subbranches?” Hyrum asked.
We got here yesterday, but we haven’t found any of Demon Seal Alliance’s subbranches at all. There’s no way the
few of us can kill Jared on our own!
“Logically speaking, that shouldn’t be the case. Demon Seal Alliance has countless subbranches all over the world.”
Having been imprisoned by Demon Seal Alliance for so many years, Xanthus knew all about its operations and
forces.
