Just as James was thinking about it, he received a call from Maxine.“Get ready. I’ll send someone to send you, Cynthia, and Tiara to Floret Palace.”After Maxine finished speaking, she hung up the phone without giving James a chance to get a word in.James had an exasperated expression. Now that things had come to this, he could only proceed with things a single step at a time.However, he refused to give up.He called Delainey and asked her to use Mount Thunder Sect’s connections to locate Winnie.Soon, people from Maxine’s sect arrived.James complied and went without a fuss.The Floret Palace disciples led the three into a vehicle and drove them to the airport. There, they boarded a plane and headed to the city where the Floret Palace was located.Floret Palace was a sect founded by Maxine within the borders of Sol.It was located atop a mountain range. One of the mountains towered into the sky, and a majestic building was built on its peak.After reaching Floret Palace,
James ignored Maxine.“Alright, I’ll stop bothering you. You should get prepared for the wedding tomorrow. You need to be in high spirits. There’ll be a lot of martial artists present, and it’s best if you don’t look grumpy. Otherwise, they’ll make fun of you.”Maxine smiled and left.The night felt unending.James could not fall asleep and was waiting for updates.He never received any news and the rest of the night went on uneventfully.Early the next day, a disciple from Floret Palace came to James with a pristine, white suit.Maxine wanted to have a traditional wedding.James did not turn them away and changed into the suit.After getting dressed, the disciple led him to Floret Palace’s main hall.Lots of people were already gathered in the main hall when he arrived.Among them were many familiar faces.As soon as James showed up, Callan, who has been drinking with some people, stood up and walked over. He patted James on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Congratulat
“Stop!”At that moment, a voice boomed through the hall.Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man walking into the hall. He wore a plain coat and held a long sword in his hand.“Isn’t that Sky from Tacriyrus?”“Why is he here?”Many people began to whisper speculatively about Sky’s sudden appearance.Maxine frowned when she saw Sky.Meanwhile, James’ face lit up with delight.Someone had come to crash the wedding.Maxine looked at the sullen Sky with a nonchalant expression and said coldly, “What’s the meaning of this, Sky?”Sky walked into the main hall. He glanced at James, then turned to Maxine, asking, “Why?”Maxine returned his question calmly, “What do you mean why?”Sky began to gripe. “Haven’t I treated you well in the past year? Yet, you’re trying to marry James behind my back and willingly becoming his mistress? Have you lost your mind, Maxine?”“This is my decision and it has nothing to do with you. If you’re here to attend the wedding,
In the past few days, Henry used all of Dragonville’s connections along with Sol’s help, and he was finally able to find Winnie’s whereabouts.Now, it would only take two hours to rescue Winnie.James only needed to buy them two hours.Two hours later, this entire debacle would finally be over.James calmly ended the call.At that moment, Sky held onto his long sword in the Floret Palace’s main hall and looked at Maxine.Maxine’s long hair danced in the air. She casually waved her hand, and a black sword zoomed to her from the outside. She caught the sword, and it trembled as she pointed it at Sky.“Leave!”Sky’s eyes were still on Maxine.He was heartbroken.For all the years he had lived, he never had feelings for any woman.He once assisted Lance in conquering and establishing Sol.Even when he stood at the peak of power and influence, there was no woman that could catch his intention. After getting to know Maxine, he eventually fell in love.He did not even hesitate to
He wanted Maxine to tell him Winnie’s whereabouts herself.Otherwise, he would have to deal with her ruthlessly to prevent her from causing trouble in the future.“Haha…”Maxine let out a maniacal laugh.“Was it an act all along?”The guests gathered in the main hall were dumbstruck, wondering what had just happened.“What’s happening?”“It seems like they’re arguing.”“How did a joyous wedding reception turn into this?”“Winnie? Why is Winnie being brought up? Did Maxine kidnap James’ child and use his daughter to threaten him to marry her?”Many people began to discuss in hushed whispers.James looked at the furious Maxine and spoke sternly, “I’m going to ask you one last time. Where is Winnie?”He gave her one more chance.He wanted to believe in his heart that Maxine was not evil but simply blinded by love.“James..”Maxine looked at James and bit her lips. Tears brimmed in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks.At that moment, a person was sent flying into the main h
Sacerdotal Sect’s senior disciple’s name was Xain Judah.Xain was relatively young at about 30 years old. He was born in the Overworld, and was the Sacerdotal Sect’s leader. In addition to that, one of the top ten powerhouses of the Overworld, was his teacher. As such, he had countless resources at hand.Coupled with his own talent, he had amassed a formidable cultivation base at a young age.His strength was above Conrad’s.Xain scanned the martial artists in the Floret Palace’s main hall and was unimpressed. He thought that strong fighters like the Omniscient Deity and Prince of Orchid Mountain would have shown up. To his disappointment, the martial artists present were all weaklings.He had reviewed the information of almost all notably powerful people on Earth.Among the people gathered, only one was a worthy opponent— the groom, James.He fixed his eyes on James and said ominously, “After I kill you, the rest will be a piece of cake.”He turned to Conrad, who was standing
James felt an intense pressure crushing down on him like a mountain had been placed on his back.Conrad lifted James up and landed a punch on him.James’ meridians were broken instantly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.Conrad kicked James, sending him flying until he crashed into a distant mountain.Boom!The ground and surrounding mountains trembled.James collapsed into the mountainside and did not get back up.“Wh-What…?”The people who fled to a distance were dumbfounded.Although Conrad was strong, James was not exactly a pushover eitherr. They never expected James to be unable to counter Conrad.“Stay right there.”Xain suddenly spoke.His voice was calm but rang loudly in everyone’s ears like thunder.Then, he appeared 30 meters into the sky and waved his hand.Powerful energy emerged from his wide sleeves and swept across the surroundings. The martial artists that had fled to a distance were engulfed by the force and brought back to the Floret Palace’s ruins.
Xain was blindsided.Earth’s Empyrean Spiritual Energy was scarce, yet he could sense a very concentrated amount of it in the distance.That meant the person gathering the energy was practicing a very advanced cultivation method.He waved his hand, and a force shot out from his sleeve.James, who had activated the Novenary Golden Body Siddhi in the ruin, was swept up by the force and was dragged in front of Xain.‘He hasn’t died yet?’ Now it was Conrad’s turn to be dumbstruck.With the strength he had just exerted, he knew no one other than a Supernatural could survive the attack.Unexpectedly, James survived it.James’ body slammed into the ground and further worsened his injuries. He could no longer suppress the rioting Blood Energy in his body and vomited out another mouthful of blood, dying the ground beneath him red.“James…”When she saw that James was alive, Maxine rushed over to try and help him up.Before she could get close to him, she was sent flying again and sus
