James had been watching from the large tree for some time.The cultivators in black robes were not particularly powerful. Judging by their aura, they were only at the Seventh or Eighth Inner Gate. If he faced someone of this caliber, he was more than capable of killing them.That was why he dared to reveal himself.He stood in front of several guards, looking at the person dressed in a black robe and wearing a red mask, and said casually, “You’re trying to every single one of them. That’s too cruel, don’t you think?”“This is a matter concerning the Dark Keep. Do you want to be an enemy of the Dark Keep?” the cultivator in the red mask spoke again.He could not tell how strong James was, so he mentioned the regiment he was a part of in the hopes of intimidating James. He was, however, mistaken. James was not from this world at all, but rather from Earth outside of it. He had never heard of the so-called Dark Keep.James smiled faintly and said, “I don’t give a damn about some ‘ke

James explained why he came here.He knew this beautiful woman in front of him was the princess of the most powerful country in this land. If he could enlist the princess’ help, he would have a good chance of acquiring food.When Laelia learned of James’ motivation for coming to the Land of Tabal, she was a little taken aback.‘Is the situation in the outside world really that bad that people are actually worried about food?’She gave James a strange look.James had no idea why Laelia was looking at him strangely. He touched his nose and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”Laelia asked, “Is the outside world so impoverished that you even have to worry about food?”James had no knowledge of the situation in the Land of Tabal. He also had no idea how this world operated. He gave a general overview of the situation on Earth. After listening to him, Laelia understood.“I see. So Earth is less developed than the Land of Tabal. To my understanding, the Land of Tabal’s sta

The Celestial Abode’s Spirit Tool once served an emperor, and he was very knowledgeable about many things.Even during the reign of Emperor Jabari, the Burial Jade was a thing of legend.The Spirit Tool went on, “According to my understanding, the Burial Jade once belonged to someone. Targwyn was his surname, and he was called the Guardian of the Tomb. He was extremely powerful. At one point in time, he was the most prominent figure in the world. However, for unknown reasons, he vanished along with the Targwyn family.“I never imagined we’d come across the Guardian of the Tomb’s descendant in this small Land of Taval.”The Spirit Tool could not stop himself from lamenting. The descendants of the most powerful person in history had fallen into such dire straits.James asked in his heart, “How does the Burial Jade relate to the seal of the world, then? Why did the Burial Jade show visions when the seal became loose?”The Spirit Tool explained, “The Burial Jade was manifested from t

As the voice rang out. From a distance, the sounds of footsteps could be heard.Soon, a large number of cultivators in dark robes and dark masks appeared.At a glance, the area appeared to be densely packed with approximately three thousand people.These people appeared quickly and surrounded James and the others.From the sky, an elder descended. He stood firm on the ground.The elder looked to be in his seventies. His face was wrinkly, and his eyes were sunken. His appearance was unsettling. He was dressed in a red robe and holding a red sword.“Saturio Hadecus?”When Laelia saw this elder, her face turned pale. The remaining dozen guards were all so terrified they were starting to shiver.James could not help but turn to face Laelia and said, “Saturio Hadecus? Who is he?”Laelia’s face was filled with fear. Her teeth were slightly chattering as she said, “The Dark Keep…the Dark Keep’s Deputy Master. His ability is only second to the Master’s. He is one of the top cultivator

Laelia witnessed James’ body being stabbed. He was even struck with a palm, sent flying, and collapsed to the ground. The ground had even developed a deep pit.Her face turned pale from the horror. Even her savior had died horribly at Saturio’s hands. She would have no way out today.“Your Highness…” Saturio stood in the air. He smiled as he looked at Laelia, who was trembling in the distance. “Did you really think that this man could save you? How absurd.”James was already dead, as far as Saturio could tell.“I-I’ll give it to you.”Laelia decided to make a compromise. Even James was dead. If she did not hand over the jade pendant, she would also be dead and Saturio would still get the jade pendant.If she handed over the jade pendant, she could at least preserve her life. As long as she lived, there was a chance for vengeance.However, at this precise moment, a silhouette of a person shot up into the sky from the ruins below. His hair was unkempt, and his entire body was cove
