“Cut to the chase,” Xanthe said coldly.Walganus said, “I want to know more about the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword.”Xanthe said, “The Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword was lost a long time ago. It’s already been more than billions of years since it went missing. How am I supposed to know about something that far in the past?”Walgsanus was reluctant to believe Xanthe’s words.“I’ve got a feeling that you know more than you let on. I’m doing this for your own good, Xanthe. After I find the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword, I’ll be able to lift the curse on the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavillion and obtain the Ancestral Sword Master’s swordsmanship inheritance. Not only will the curse on Sangria be lifted, but the seal on this world can also be undone.“When that time comes, the lifespan of this world’s inhabitants can exceed one million years. All I’ve been doing has been for the sake of this world.“I want you to tell me everything you know.“By the way, I also brought some good news for you. After Ja

James did not explain much to Walganus. Instead, he said, “Just wait patiently.”After leaving Walganus with a few words, James returned to his room to rest.Meanwhile, Quinella had begun using Sangria’s intelligence networks to inquire about the Seafolk.The Seafolk were shut off from the rest of world. Most of them avoided revealing themselves, but there were a few exceptions to that rule. Although it was very uncommon, a few of them still wandered around the planet.Galileo was abundant in cultivators. Some of them would travel to the oceans to look for treasures. As such, some would accidentally trespass into the Seafolk’s territory.Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.Quinella had gathered some information about the Seafolk.“Your Majesty.”Quinella kneeled on one knee.James gently waved his hand and said, “Alright, you may rise.”Quinella stood up with James’ permission.“Do you have any news about the Seafolk?” asked James.Quinella nodded and replied, “Yes, Y

She turned and left the building.Meanwhile, the other three held their stances with their long swords pointed at James’ party.James was not in a rush, so he waited patiently.The Blademaster of Mount Grinch was seated on the ground in a room in the house ahead of them. Intense energy emanated from his body and gathered into impressive Sword Energy.He looked rather elderly and seemed to have aged a bit more from his time in the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion.His hair was completely white.“Master.”A voice came from outside his room door.The Blademaster of Mount Grinch stopped cultivating and dissipated his energy. He stood up from the ground, sat on a chair next to him, and replied, “Come in.”A woman walked into the room and said respectfully, “Master, Sangria’s new Emperor, James Caden, has come to visit.”“Oh?” The Blademaster of Mount Grinch expressed his surprise.He heard about James. Recently, James’ feats were a hot topic throughout Galileo.He murmured, “Why di

“That’s my own problem, and it has nothing to do with you.” The Blademaster of Mount Grinch looked at James resentfully.James tried to placate him. “I’m sure you’ve heard rumors that a fated one will appear in Sangria and lift the curse. I happen to be the fated one from the legends. I can lift the curse and undo the Cursed Seal on this planet. After I succeed, the curse on this planet will be gone, and there won’t be a limit on the lifespan of living beings here. You’ll be able to continue living.”The Blademaster of Mount Grinch looked at James and asked, “So what’s the reason you came to see me?”James said earnestly, “The Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion plays an important part in lifting these curses. The key to unraveling the secrets within the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion is the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword which was lost long ago. I obtained a clue about its location being related to the Seafolk. I must travel to see the Seafolk so that I can acquire the sword to lift the curse on t

James said, “Then let’s take a detour.”The Blademaster of Mount Grinch shook his head and said, “This is the only way to reach the Seafolk. There are many space storms and dimensional cracks above the oceans. If we take a detour and end up in these rifts, we’re going to die.”“Then what should we do?” Walganus was anxious.“Let’s turn back.” The Blademaster of Mount Grinch thought for a while and said, “In my current state, I won’t be able to defeat the dragon even if I give up my life for it. However, I’ll be able to live a little longer if we head back where we came.”Walganus immediately said, “No way. We’re so close to the Seafolk’s territory. How can we give up so easily? Let’s fight together. We might be able to kill the dragon if we team up.”Hearing this, the Blademaster of Mount Grinch cast a glance at Walganus.“It’s not like I’m trying to underestimate you, young man, but what will you use to fight the dragon?”The Blademaster of Mount Grinch could not ascertain Wa
