“Mm-hmm.” Xatia quickly nodded. “I can testify. Xitlaly herself said so.”“It should have been like this.” Rebella looked at James. “You’re not just their brother, but also their matchmaker. How can she leave the carriage if you aren’t present? What does that make us on the bride’s side?”“If we don’t set the tone in this situation, how can we expect a pleasant atmosphere when we enter the groom’s family?” Lyla chimed in.James laughed upon listening to their self-righteous explanations. “As far as I know, none of you have ever been married, or even been in a relationship. Where did you get all these mischievous ideas from?”At his words, the several stunning women glanced at each other and lowered their heads once again, feeling wronged. They still believed they were in the right.After all, they had their roles, which were to represent Xitlaly’s family. They naturally had to uphold her interests.Meanwhile, James represented Truett’s side, responsible for all the arrangements h
Everyone’s expression changed as if they saw a devil while they watched Adair.“What’s wrong?” Adair was stunned. “Do you all find something inappropriate?”Rebella clicked her tongue. “You’ve underestimated the Dark Heavenly Path and overestimated Xachary.”“Exactly,” Truett laughed. “Xachary’s Tribulation has already dropped. We can knock him down without needing an alliance with the Dark Heavenly Path.”Adair rolled her eyes upon hearing this. “So, when do we make our move?”At these words, everyone looked at James simultaneously because only he could make this decision.Meanwhile, James was immersed in silence.With Skynet orchestrating such a grand scene, inviting heroes from all walks of life, the original intention might have been to add luster to this wedding. However, James wondered if they truly anticipated the hidden treachery and crisis behind it.Setting aside the fact that the new alliance and the Righteous Alliance have long been at each other’s throats, with irr
“What’s going on, James?”“Do you have a premonition, James?”James lifted his head and said lightly, “There’s something I need to entrust to you.”He raised his hand, and the Courageous Tower, which controlled the Forladtt Land, appeared in his palm. The tower emitted black and white light.Truett and Xitlaly were both stunned when they saw this.“I’ll temporarily entrust the Courageous Tower to you.” James handed the tower to Truett. “I might be leaving for some time. I hope that Skynet and the Iustus Sect can protect the Forladtt Land in my absence.”Upon hearing this, Truett quickly stood up. “James, we are also a part of the Jademora Empire...”“No, you are not from now on,” James interrupted Truett. “You are the Young Master of Skynet. After your marriage, your father and mother should hand over Skynet’s affairs to you.”With that, he turned to Xitlaly. “And you, holding the Tempest Scepter, have become the sect leader of the Iustus Sect. When you meet with Sir Mattaniah
The Celestial Sages appeared with James in a mysterious restricted area at Skynet Headquarters.“This is a restricted area, outsiders are not allowed in,” Celestial Sage explained to James.Earthly Sage added, “The Tirta Grand Formation is enveloping us now. Even the Grand Patriarch’s Zen cannot be utilized.”James nodded in understanding, then sighed lightly, “I presume you two have some expectations for the upcoming situation.”At his words, the Celestial Sages exchanged a glance, both nodding simultaneously.They had initially thought James sent away his trusted disciples to prevent them from being involved in the impending trouble. However, James’ attitude toward the Truett couple confused them. They wondered why James treated it as more than just a calamity, almost like settling affairs. Thus, they voiced their perplexity.After listening, James smiled faintly. “Do you inquire at the behest of Yegor and Herodias, or is it your own curiosity?”The Celestial Sages were moment
The Celestial Sages exchanged a glance, then spoke simultaneously, “Shoot.”James said solemnly, “The first matter is that you must guard the newlywed spiritual mountain where Truett and Xitlaly reside. They’re not to step out, regardless of what happens outside.”At his words, the Celestial Sages simultaneously furrowed their brows.Earthly Sage asked, “And the second matter?”“Please take care of my children and Maxine Caden.” James’ expression turned grave. “I hope you can ensure their safety in crucial moments.”Upon hearing this, Celestial Sage’s face darkened. “They’re favored by Yegor and Lady Herodias. Anyone who dares to be disrespectful to them seeks death.”“We promise you.” Earthly Sage fixed her gaze on James. “What’s the third matter?”“The third matter,” James sighed lightly. “When necessary, I hope you can lend a hand to the Forladtt Land, protecting the living beings in the Dark World.”At this, the Celestial Sages were startled.They had not expected James’ t
Seeing this scene, a Grand Patriarch with white temples sitting beside Lady Herodias suddenly chuckled and said, “The younger generations nowadays are becoming more and more audacious. They dare to be so bold and ruthless.”“Well, you can’t say it like that, Sir Stefan.” Another Grand Patriarch with red hair chuckled and said, “They each lead a sect now, how can they develop if they don’t compete?”The words of the red-haired Grand Patriarch immediately resonated with the other Grand Patriarchs present, who nodded one after another.“The Genesis World has always been a world of survival of the fittest. With limited resources, it’s natural that the strong are respected.”“We’ve fought our way up like this all along. Otherwise, could we have what we have now?”“The younger generation’s hot-bloodedness is understandable. Let them play.”“It seems that both the Yaquis Holiness and Gladwin have comparable cultivation bases. This battle between them is quite intriguing.”“These two jun
“If that evildoer obtains the Ultimate Golden Body, won’t the Genesis World be plunged into catastrophe?”“Let’s wait for the right moment to settle the score. No rush for now.”Listening to the whispered conversations of the powerhouses, the Grand Patriarchs sitting on either side of Yegor and Lady Herodias exchanged glances, their eyes revealing hidden meanings.Meanwhile, James sat down beside Dark Thea, nodding slightly towards her.“It seems someone still appreciates me.” Dark Thea smiled charmingly. “Well, with so many guests coming and going today, there must be a few normal ones, right?”With that, she raised her glass of Qhairos towards James. “Let’s drink to outshine these old dogs.”A stunned silence fell over everyone. However, James smiled calmly and raised his glass in response.At that moment, Dark Thea suddenly grabbed his hand. “This is how we should drink.”With that, she intertwined her hand with James’, tilting her head back to finish her drink. This was a c
Dark Thea and James released their grip and watched the dozen or so transcendent powerhouses, who seemed eager to try their luck. Both of them simultaneously furrowed their brows.“What’s this? Are you all bothered by us having a drink?” Dark Thea sneered. “Madam Savannah, are you envious because there’s a handsome man beside me?“If you have some romantic inclinations, you could also grab a few good-looking guys to accompany you for drinks and indulge in some revelry, even taste what it’s like to be with a man.”The scene erupted into a commotion as soon as these words were spoken.James could only sigh in speechless amusement. When Thea got mischievous, she could anger a bunch of powerhouses without even trying, because her resentment was always brimming.“This is utterly outrageous!” roared Savannah. “You are harlot, demoness, shameless and depraved! You wreaked havoc in the Genesis World countless times, and now you dare to come to the feast of Yegor and Lady Herodias to caus
