A Man Like None Other

“Rory, you’ve spent many years in the southern region, so you must be familiar with the terrain around Demonia Mountain. I have this map that marks a particular location in the southern region. Do you recognize it?”

Jared took out a map he had retrieved from Tavon’s item pouch and handed it to Rory.

Rory studied the map carefully, his gaze falling on a spot circled in red.

His brow furrowed noticeably as he examined it.

“Mr. Chance, where did you get this map?” Rory asked.

Jared hesitated, unsure of how to explain. After all, he didn’t know much about Tavon’s true identity.

Seeing Jared’s hesitation, Rory realized he had touched on something sensitive and quickly changed the subject. “This marked location is a forbidden area in the southern region. It’s been countless years since any cultivators ventured there. That area once housed an ancient city. But during the Celestial Battle, the city was completely destroyed, and everyone there perished,” Rory explained.

“But why would it become a forbidden zone?” Jared was puzzled.
