Chapter 5872

Jared offered a calm nod. “We understand. Thank you for the warning.”

Once the attendant had gone, Vermilion Demon Lord raised a sound-shielding barrier and spoke in a low growl. “Jared, Malevolent Path Hall’s roots run deep in this city. We must tread lightly.”

“Mm,” Jared replied with a nod. “First, let’s get to Mission Hall and see if we can grab Earthfire Trial credentials quickly.

After that, we visit Earthfire Pavilion itself. Even if we’re barred from entering, I want the layout and its guard roster mapped.”

They took only a moment to compose themselves, then slipped out of the inn and headed toward the southern district, where Mission Hall towered above the rooftops.

Mission Hall sprawled in a vast circle. Inside, the roar of voices rose like surf against stone walls. Hundreds of jade screens floated overhead, each flashing mission notices in restless, shifting light while robed figures streamed in and out beneath them.

It didn’t take Jared long to locate the section reserved for Earthfire Pavilion.
