Boom! A flash of lightning struck the stone pillar and then James. When the lightning struck James, he could only feel pain so excruciating that even his soul shivered. Then, he let loose an anguished scream. No one stepped forward to defend James, nor did anyone feel any sympathy toward him. After all, James was an earthling, a descendant of sinners. Their ancestors perished because of the earthlings’ ancestors’ betrayal. After the first flash of lightning struck James, he already suffered grave injuries. However, Demonic Energy immediately circulated throughout his body and healed his injuries. Before he could react, the second flash of lightning struck him. “Argh!” James cried out in anguish. His physical body and even his soul underwent agonizing torture. In the distance, Marcello furrowed her eyebrows and said, “Jace, are we just going to sit here and watch?” Wearing a calm expression, Jace said coldly, “I only need him alive. Besides, I believe he can survive this

James’ voice boomed. Then, he entered the seal and disappeared from Mount Bane. “Dammit!” Yuvaan’s face darkened as he cursed, “Who the hell is helping him behind the scenes?” The scene was broadcasted live all over the globe. Upon seeing James escape, Thea breathed a sigh of relief. Before James left, he summoned what remained of his strength and roared. After that, he soon lost consciousness. As he entered the seal, he had no idea where he would end up. After some time, James slowly regained consciousness. He was feeling sluggish. When he tried getting up, an excruciating pain came from inside his body. Then, upon realizing a white curtain before him, he murmured, “Am I dead? Where am I?” “You’re awake.” Just as he was puzzled, a voice spoke. James tried turning his head to see where the voice came from. However, as he was gravely injured, excruciating pain came from inside his body the moment he moved. “Your injuries are severe. You shouldn’t move around,” the vo

At that moment, Zaid stepped forward and said smilingly, “Sect Elder Zaydon, my daughter has no wish to marry at the moment. Why don’t we postpone this matter for now? Maybe my daughter will come to her senses in the future.” Since the Zaydons were the leader among the three great families of Kineallen City, the Yanis did not wish to provoke them unnecessarily. “Melany, you are destined to be mine.” Justin looked at Melany with a ravenous look on his face and said, “Soon, you will come to the Zaydens’ household and beg me to marry you.” Then, he turned to leave. The Zaydons’ Sect Elder glared at Zaid and smirked. “Ungrateful wretch!” After he spoke, he turned to leave. Once they left, Zaid sighed dejectedly and said, “Melany, you shouldn’t have turned down their offer. You should understand what kind of situation we’re in at the moment. After suckering up with the Divinity Sect, the Zaydons have grown ever more abrasive and arrogant. No one dares challenge them in Kineallen

Back when he was still gravely injured, he could not even turn his head. As such, he was not able to take a glimpse of his savior. “Miss, may I know who your lady is? By the way, where did she go?” “She’s called Melany Yanis, and she has gone to Doncaster City, the core city of Doncaster since the Welkin Academy is currently admitting new disciples. Ms. Melany wants to join the academy,” the woman answered. Hearing this, James furrowed his eyebrows. The Welkin Academy? What the hell was that? He asked, “What’s the Welkin Academy?” The woman suppressed a snicker and said, “You aren’t a cultivator I guess, or you would have heard about the Welkin Academy.” James simply smiled and said nothing. The woman explained, “There are a few influential forces in the Ancient Realm, primarily the Sect, the Academy, and the Clan.” James asked puzzledly, “What do you mean?” The woman said, “The Sect refers to the Divinity Sect.” Hearing this, James took a deep breath. Though he k

The only people he was worried about were his family. If he knew this was going to happen, he would have brought them into the Celestial Abode and cultivated in there. “I know that they will be fine,” James said anxiously. Before his trial, Cody had promised he would protect Thea. Not only that, but he also had Marcello’s assistance. As a member of the Demon Race, not to mention that James had a close relationship with her, Marcello would not sit idly by as Yuvaan slaughtered his family. Thinking about this, James took a deep breath. He changed the topic and asked, “By the way, what rank are you at now?” Henry smiled smugly and said, “I’ve been cultivating in the Time Chamber all this while, so I’ve already reached the Eighth Inner Gate of the Supernatural rank. Soon, I’ll be a Herculean!” “Mhm.” James nodded. With the Time Chamber, Henry and the others should be able to increase their strength drastically in a short period of time. “What about the four-hundred-thousand
