To be honest, James was not confident in his abilities to cure Thea either.There were no records in the medical book about conditions similar to Thea’s.His only hope was for Crucifier to perform a miracle.The two returned home together.At home, James accompanied Thea for the rest of the day.He initially planned to leave for Divine Sword Villa the next morning.He remembered the information he had obtained from the Omniscient Deity. He would have to look for the King if he wanted to know about Xavion’s whereabouts.James pondered for a while and decided that he should settle this matter before heading to Divine Sword Villa.Early in the morning, he bid farewell to Thea and left the house. He headed to Peace Mansion and met with the King.The King had had his power stripped from him. Apart from his nominal title, he had no absolute authority, nor was he needed in any meetings. All matters, regardless of their importance, were handled by the candidates running for the title
The King said, “We don’t have much time.”“I’ll solve everything as soon as possible. I’ll try to get it done one month before the general election.”“Then, you still have a month and a half left.”“Mhm. I’ll have to leave the Capital for a while. When I return, hand Xavion over to me. I’ll handle things.”The King shrugged and said, “If you’re confident that you can solve everything, then I won’t stop you. After all, I’m about to retire. I’m gonna enjoy the rest of my life without worrying about these tedious matters.”The King looked indifferent.“I still have some stuff to settle, so I’ll take my leave.”James did not say anything more and stood up to leave.After James left, the King’s expression gradually became solemn. Gloom, who was standing by the side, asked, “Do you really trust James? Do you think James can win the fight against Orient Commerce and the Gu Sect?”“Certainly.”The King nodded and said, “In the battle of Malgudi, the Gu Sect suffered a heavy blow. See
Divine Sword Villa was a low-profile but powerful sect.The sect hardly paid any attention to worldly affairs. Even a hundred years ago, when Sol was in dire straits, no one from Divine Sword Villa Sect exposed themselves, nor did they support Sol in the war.Callan learned about Divine Sword Villa by chance.This would be his second time visiting them.James looked at the steep mountain devoid of human traces.He nodded and said, “Mhm. Let’s go check out Divine Sword Villa.”“We should head this way.”Callan pointed in the right direction.Then, he strode ahead and quickly led the way.James followed closely behind him.The two quickly moved through the dense mountain forest.The mountain roads were steep.However, this did not affect the two of them.About an hour later, a few historical-looking buildings appeared on a mountain ahead of them.A white mist surrounded the top of the mountain. From a distance, these buildings looked like heaven on earth.“It’s right ahead
“Ha!”Hearing this, the young man in the white robe snickered.He looked at Callan with a sneer, then his face darkened, and he said coldly, “Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me in such a manner? It doesn’t matter who you are in the outside world. When you’re in Divine Sword Villa, you go by our rules. We’re not accepting any guests right now. Leave, or else…”“Or else what?”Callan glanced at the man in the white robe.“Die.”The man in the white robe suddenly pulled out the long sword hung around his waist.Bzzt!He swung his long sword, and an invisible Sword Energy swept forward.Callan raised his hand and stretched out two fingers, easily stopping the long sword.His robe fluttered because of the invincible Sword Energy.“What?”The young man’s expression changed immediately.He wanted to draw back his long sword but could not, no matter how hard he tried. Callan exerted a little force on the sword.Clank!The long sword broke in half.The broken b
In actuality, Callan had just learned about the birth of a legendary sword after hearing about it from James.As soon as he entered Divine Sword Villa, he sensed something was wrong, so he deliberately threw out a bait to test the waters.He specifically said they met half a year ago.The truth was that he had met the owner of Divine Sword Villa just recently, and it was not half a year ago.Now, he was sure the person in front of him was an imposter.Although they looked the same, he was not the actual owner of Divine Sword Villa.Therefore, he specifically talked about the birth of the legendary sword to fish out more information.James knew what Callan was trying to do as soon as he heard the conversation.He was aware Callan had met with Divine Sword Villa’s owner recently and not half a year ago.“Oh, you meant that.”The old man in the cyan robe replied, “Mr. Maverick, don’t blame me for pretending not to remember. After all, the sword is very precious to us, and I don’
“That’s a given. Your name was James, right?”“Yeah, that’s right. I’m James.”“James, it’s not that I want to brag, but Divine Sword Villa has a collection of the world’s legendary swords. The Dragonslayer that is to be unleashed is very special. Our sect has spent more than a thousand years on it. More than ten generations worked on forging the sword. Once it’s revealed to the world, it’ll definitely cause an uproar.”Childe began bragging about his sect to James.He was enthusiastic as he spoke of the Dragonslayer.James listened attentively to him.However, he simply praised the Dragonslayer and gave no more information.“Mr. Giovanni, could you bring me on a tour around the villa? I’d like to have a look around.”Childe’s expression immediately darkened, and he said coldly, “James, I’m warning you not to walk around the villa casually. Things are tense right now. The Dragonslayer is about to be released to the world, and we’re on high vigilance. If you walk around without
James and Callan left Divine Sword Villa together and entered the dense forest.Outside Divine Sword Villa, James sat on a rock in an open space in the virgin forest. He took out a cigarette, threw one to Callan, and asked, “What’s the situation on your side?”After Callan took the cigarette, his expression gradually became solemn. He said, “I was brought to the place where the sword was forged and got to see the legendary sword. However, my goal wasn’t to see the sword. It was to bait something out.”James asked, “What is it?”Callan said, “I found out the owner was real. However, he was being controlled. Lucjan was controlling his words and actions with Gu venom.”“But, I met with Childe of Divine Sword Villa and had a brief conversation with him. Judging from his words, he didn’t seem fake since he kept bragging about Divine Sword Villa’s legendary sword. How could that be?”James was slightly confused.He looked at Callan and asked, “Could it be he’s real? Was he trying to s
The First Blood Emperor did not refute him. The Grand Patriarch of the Blood Race had indeed crossed into the ninth rank. However, ever since he reached such a realm, he never once intervened in worldly affairs. There were several times in history when the Blood Race was almost eradicated. However, not once did the Blood Race’s Grand Patriarch intervene. It was impossible to convince him to slay the dragon alongside them. “There’s no need to rush things.” Ezekiel waved his hand slightly and said, “He chose not to intervene as he was unsure of his chances of winning. Once we obtain Dragonslayer, there’s no way he’ll continue to turn a blind eye to our cause. “This is a dragon we’re talking about! There are treasures all over his body. We just need a little bit for ourselves. By then, the Blood Race would benefit the most from it. I’m confident that he would join us in creating a new world order.” The more Ezekiel said, the more excited Lucjan got. Even the First Blood Emperor
