Upon witnessing the venomous parasites annihilated by Jared’s single strike, Sinclair and the rest of the people from Sky Slasher Sect were utterly astounded.
Sinclair was especially shocked because he was well aware that if Jared and the others set foot on the small island, they would certainly not let him off the hook.
After all, it was his idea to lead Jared and the others into the storm-prone sea area.
It seemed as though the enforcer had discerned Sinclair’s anxiety. The enforcer reassured him, “Don’t worry, Mr. Sinclair. Even if the venomous parasites can’t handle these people, they still won’t be able to set foot on the island. The island is surrounded by a defensive array, after all.”
“You all don’t know something. They are not all alchemists. Among them are also people from Duad Formation Sect, all of whom are array experts.” Sinclair let out a light sigh.
Sinclair knew just how formidable Duad Formation Sect’s array craft was, and Jared was indeed an array master.
He had witnessed Jared subduing Stanton with his own eyes.
“What? Are there people from Duad Formation Sect on that ship?”
At this point, the enforcer of Sky Slasher Sect became somewhat flustered.
Initially, he assumed they were merely alchemists, incapable of breaking through their defensive array. However, to his surprise, the opposition had array experts from Duad Formation Sect. Whether their defensive array could withstand the enemy was then uncertain.
“Charge toward the small island quickly!”
Jared instructed Carlo to propel the spirit ship, rapidly heading toward the small island.
They had to seize the small island before Ventus and his crew returned.
Guided by Carlo, the members of Duad Formation Sect were desperately propelling the spirit ship, rushing toward the small island.
As they were nearing the small island, the spirit ship finally gave in to the overwhelming strain, rocking violently.
At that moment, the spirit ship was swaying in the wind, seemingly on the verge of sinking at any time.
Upon seeing the situation, Jared quickly shouted, “Hurry up and abandon ship! No one should remain on the spirit ship!”
Everyone swiftly ascended into mid-air, and no sooner had they reached that point than a thunderous boom resonated.
After the explosion, the spirit ship slowly sank into the vast ocean.
At that time, Jared and his companions were suspended mid-air, unable to reach the small island. The island was entirely surrounded by a multicolored spiritual light, clearly enveloped by an arcane array.
“Carlo, break the arcane array!” Jared shouted.
He knew that it was impossible for everyone to remain suspended in mid-air indefinitely, and time was not on their side. They had to claim this small island as quickly as possible.
Carlo gave a nod of approval, and then, along with the disciples of Duad Formation Sect, they spread out. With a disciple positioned at regular intervals, they managed to encircle the entire small island.
Meanwhile, Jared had flown to the airspace right above the small island’s center. Accompanied by a streak of golden light emitted from Jared’s fingertips, all the disciples of Duad Formation Sect had also taken action.
Dozens of streaks of golden light struck directly onto the defensive array, colliding with the multicolored spiritual light that followed, setting off a series of dazzling, eye-catching radiance.
Jared and his team were gearing up to forcefully break through the array. If they had the time to locate the array’s core and slowly dismantle it, Jared was certainly capable of doing so. However, time was a luxury they no longer had.
Seeing Jared and his group forcefully breaking through the array, Sinclair and the numerous disciples of Sky Slasher Sect were thrown into a state of panic.
They could sense the immense power emanating from Jared and his group, a force so great that their defensive array simply couldn’t withstand it.
The Divine Bell on the small island began to sway uncontrollably, emitting a series of piercing chimes.
The chimes grew increasingly frantic until, finally, there was no pause at all.
The alchemists in the dungeon, upon hearing the bell tolling outside, all wore expressions of bewilderment.
“The urgency of the bell tolls surely indicates an attack on Sky Slasher Sect. Yet, it remains uncertain who the attacker is.”
“It would be best to wipe out this bunch of b*stards from Sky Slasher Sect and, conveniently, set us free in the process.”
“Could it be President Chance and his group?”
The alchemists were all abuzz with discussion.
Ernesto shook his head, saying, “It can’t be Wyatt and his group. We saw with our own eyes that they were trapped in the storm. There was no way they could have made it out.”
At that moment, he was indeed filled with regret. However, there was no use in feeling so.
