novelxo Chapter 1466
A middle-aged man in a red robe landed nearby, and it was clear he was in the Profound Oriental Realm.
"Tatiana, go down the mountain first. I'll come look for you later!" Nash urged. He was well aware of the terror posed by someone in the Profound Oriental Realm. Even with his Nine Dragons Sword, Nash could not possibly be his opponent. Tatiana shook her head. "No, I want to stay with you!"
"Listen to me!" Nash said sternly and then pushed her away. He made a grabbing motion toward the ground. The snake-skin bag turned into a stream of light, entering his storage ring.
"Hmm? He has a storage ring too? Hehehe, I'll be having a good haul today!" The man in the red robe licked his lips, his eyes flashing fiercely.
Nash stared at him and asked, "Who are you?"
The middle-aged man arrogantly replied, "I'm Erec Camden, the master of Fier Valley!"
Hearing this, a strange expression crossed Nash's face. Then, he gestured a salute and said, "I'm Nash Calcraft, the junior disciple of Johnathan Calcraft from Tili Mountain. Greetings, Master Camden."
"What? You're Johnathan's disciple?" Erec's pupils suddenly constricted.
Johnathan... He was the nightmare of all sects!
"Exactly!" Nash no longer showed any fear. He had heard about Erec from his master. Erec was only in the Mystique Loyalty Realm, but he cultivated a deception technique that allowed him to form a fake Nascent Soul in his core. It was a characteristic of those in the Profound Oriental Realm.
This technique could mimic the aura and pressure of a true Profound Oriental cultivator so well that even those at the peak of the realm might not be able to distinguish real from fake.
His master had been a true giant among cultivators. To him, Erec deserved a beating regardless if he was a real Profound Oriental Realm cultivator or not.
His master thought the technique
was amusing and even intended to teach it to his second disciple, Francis, However, Francis seemed uninterested in learning it. After all, it was just a flashy technique, and Francis was too modest to bother with such showmanship.
Erec squinted and threatened, "Boy, do you know the consequences of deceiving me?" He had been intimidated by Johnathan before and just hearing the name made him nervous. Yet, he was skeptical about this young man truly being Johnathan's disciple.
Nash calmly replied, "My master mentioned that your technique is quite special!"
The middle-aged man suddenly started coughing violently. He then laughed and said, "Alright, alright, I believe you. We shall meet again!" With that, he leaped away, flying into the distance.
Unbelievable. Three years in

seclusion and the moment he stepped out, he encountered a disciple of Johnathan's. He decided to hide in Fier Valley and break through to the Profound Oriental Realm before venturing out again.
"Hmm, Nash, is your master's reputation really so formidable? He even managed to deter a Profound Oriental Realm senior," Tatiana asked curiously.
Seeing Tatiana completely unfazed, Nash could not help but laugh. "Weren't you afraid at all?"
"Nope! I have the Thousand Illusion Array Disc, and we're on Malignant Mountain. Even if he was truly in the Profound Oriental Realm, I could still deal some damage to him!" Tatiana said haughtily, her eyes fierce and exuding confidence as if having the disc meant she could conquer the world.
"Oh? Is this disc so powerful?" Nash asked with interest.
"The Thousand Illusion Array Disc is an ancient divine artifact. It contains a hundred thousand array patterns and can control all arrays!"
