Upon hearing this, Nehemiah’s expression darkened. After a while, he nodded slightly, “Yes.”

James asked, “What happened?”

Nehemiah had boasted about Dragonslayer during the day to attract James’ attention. James’ return was within his calculations. He knew that James and Callan were not here to have a glimpse of Dragonslayer but for something else.

Unable to leave Divine Sword Villa, he had no way of seeking help from the outside world. So, he answered James’ question honestly.

“About a week ago, unknown men stormed Divine Sword Villa and killed almost every disciple inside. The Sect Elders, on the other hand, were imprisoned. These men’s objective was the forthcoming Dragonslayer. I don’t know who they are. I only know that they are strong. Even the owner of Divine Sword Villa was instantly subdued.”

As he said that, he looked at James.

“Your reputation precedes you, James. I hope you can save Divine Sword Villa.”

Nehemiah’s words corroborated Callan’s speculation.
