Chapter 149 Jade forest- 10 ( Darkness )
It's been five days already since Wang Jia and the others started searching for the three missing disciples. No matter where they looked, all of them were unable to find any kind of clue, the only thing that was found was the blood stain where Jayden had fallen.
" Matriarch, although I don't want to say it, but I don't think those three will be able to- " The sixth elder looked at Jia and with a sad expression as he spoke.
" I know Jin is definitely alive, we'll keep searching for them until we find them no matter how much time has passed. " Jia said, interrupting the elder.
Even though she couldn't sense the presence of the pendant she had given to Jayden, she still believed that nothing happened to her son, and if something did happen she didn't know what she would do.
" Let's meet here after six hours, until then we'll search in different directions. " Jia ordered and turned around as she flew into the forest.
From what she heard, Jia knew Jin was injured, and it made her heart hurt as she thought that her son would still be suffering somewhere in this dangerous forest. Without any rest, she has been running around in the forest looking for him.

Xiao Rong rubbed her fingers on Jayden's soft cheek, her eyes closed. It seemed she had forgotten what she was doing, and kept playing with his cheeks.
" What are you doing? " Jayden asked.
Xiao finally came back to her senses, she reluctantly pulled her hands back and with a slightly red face replied:
" There was some dirt on your cheek, I was just removing it. "
Jayden stared at her face for a few seconds, then he turned towards the garden and shrugged: " Alright, do you want any of these herbs, they'll go to waste otherwise. "
Xiao finally looked at all the herbs present there, her eyes widened in shock, the herbs treated as great treasures in the sect and across the entire Kingdom were present in bulk in the garden. It looked beautiful and everything was planted in a perfect manner.
" Can I take anything? " Xiao asked in disbelief.
" Yes, as many as you want. " Jayden replied with a smile.
With hurried steps, she walked towards the herbs and began to pick them up one by one, after picking them she would Immediately toss them into her spatial ring.
After taking many different herbs, Xiao finally finished and returned to Jayden's side, with a rare small smile she said: " I'm done, are we leaving? "
Jayden found her smile to be extremely pretty, he shook his head and replied: " No, it would be a waste to leave all those herbs here, I'm going to take these. "
" All of them? " She asked in disbelief.
Jayden didn't reply and waved his hand, in the next instant, more than five times than what Xiao Rong had taken flew towards him. He took more than twenty herbs of all types, still more than 3/4th of the herbs remained.
After seeing him store those herbs in his ring, Xiao asked: " What about all that? "
"..."
Jayden closed his eyes and pointed his palms towards the remaining herbs in the garden, then he used Demonic devouring arts and began to absorb all of them.
Instantly, under Xiao's disbelieving gaze, so many herbs began to wither all at once and within seconds, the entire garden became empty. Not a single herb was left, Xiao long was stunned, she stared at Jayden, her eyes wide open.
" Let's go, we're done here. " Jayden said looking at her.
" What just happened? Where did all those herbs went? " Xiao Rong asked.
" I absorbed it and stored it in my body to use later. " Jayden replied and began to walk out of the garden.
"..."
Xiao Rong silently followed behind him, wondering if such a thing was even possible.
...
" Hoh, you returned back alive? " the face asked with a surprised expression.
" Haha, you are one shitty face, if you were a person I would have blown your ass to pieces already. " Jayden said, maintaining a smile.
The lips on the face twitched, it started at Jayden unhappily and spoke:
" Don't misunderstand, I didn't want to harm you, I just didn't think you could escape the temptation of the silver cup, anyway what do you think of my garden, I've put a lot of effort into it. "
" It was really helpful, " Jayden said showing the face a thumbs up, then he spoke: " I'm going into that space. "
" Sure, you can now enter, I wish you luck. " the face said without showing any expression.
Jayden knew that the face wasn't as innocent as it portrayed itself to be, it definitely knew what was behind that barrier. Jayden still wanted to check that place, so he turned towards Xiao and spoke:
" I'm going inside, you can wait here. "
Xiao Rong nodded, although she wanted to enter with him, but she knew her strength wasn't enough to survive in there and she would only end up bringing trouble for him.
" Take this, it'll help to protect you. "
Jayden said, as he placed a pendant around her neck, Xiao looked at the pendant and felt joyful in her heart, seeing him care for her made her feel butterflies in her stomach and without her noticing her cold personality was slowly fading away.
" I'll be back soon. " Jayden said and glanced at the face, which for a moment failed to hide its excitement, it looked quite eager to send Jayden in there.
" Anna, is it really fine to go inside? " Jayden asked in a low voice.
" Yes, you'll be fine, there's danger inside but I don't think it'll be that big of a problem for you. " She replied.
" Hmm," Jayden nodded and after glancing at Xiao Rong one last time, he passed through the barrier.
As he set foot inside, everything became completely dark and silent. Jayden couldn't feel anything, it was neither hot nor cold, he tried taking a step back and found that the barrier had disappeared.
"..."
He tried to speak but no voice came out, all of his senses were nullified, Jayden walked forward without any destination or aim. No matter how long he walked nothing changed, Jayden tried to reach Anna in his mind.
'...'
And he noticed that even his mental energy was restricted, he tried to release his inner Qi, but it seemed to just disappear after being released from his body.
' It's kind of a mental attack. ' Jayden thought to himself as he felt the pressure this place was putting on his mind and soul.
In the next moment, he suddenly felt unbearable pain in his left arm. It seemed as if something bit his arm, baring its sharp teeth into his skin. Jayden wanted to scream but nothing came out, he jerked his hand but couldn't shake off the object that was attached to his arm.
Then he felt similar pain in his left arm, and soon both of his legs were bitten by the same thing. Jayden wasn't able to remove it and could only feel the extreme pain. After a few moments, it began to suck Jayden's blood and internal energy at an extremely fast pace.
