A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5760

Here, the peaks thrust skyward like swords, their tips lost in swirling cloud. Between veils of mist stood immense, time-dark structures—halls ribbed with ancient timber, terraces braced by bleached beast bones, totem poles clawing at the sky until the very air throbbed with primeval power.

At a mountain gate carved with a hundred racing beasts, iron-scented guards barred the road. The sentries—broad-shouldered, hide-armored, unmistakably of the beast clans—gaped at the newcomers' torn clothes and thinned ranks.

Captain Hornby, a rhinoceros-horned giant, narrowed his eyes at the unfamiliar human and the radiant unicorn beside him. "Gavin? Yvette? You were posted at Rockhold Gorge. How in the world did you end up here—and with this outsider?"

Gavin's voice cracked but stayed steady. "Captain, Rockhold Gorge is gone."

In quick, rough strokes he recounted the Infinite Soul Demon Sect's surprise assault, Garrick's fall, the massacre of nearly every disciple—then how Jared had broken through the encirclement and carried the survivors to safety.

Captain Hornby's massive frame jolted. "Elder Garrick... slain?" Shock gave way to a blaze of fury, then to bafflement as his gaze swung back to Jared.

A human who, at a glance, lingered only at Level Seven of the Human Immortal Realm—yet Gavin claimed he had single-handedly routed two Level Five Heavenly Immortal commanders and their strike force.

The tale teetered on the edge of impossible, but the grief in Gavin's eyes left no room for lies.

"This concerns the entire sect," Hornby said, regaining command. "We report to the Sect Master at once. Follow me."

He led them through the colossal gate and up a serpent's coil of stone stairs toward Myriad Beast Hall high above. Along the way, disciples paused mid-drill, whispering at the sight of a fragile-looking human escorted by the captain Rex Hornby himself.
