Chapter 2142
After entering the city, the two found an inn to stay in for the time being.James was seated on a chair inside the room. Meanwhile, Laelia poured some tea for him.“James, when are we going to the City Lord’s Mansion to see Cloyd?”Laelia was at her wits’ ends. Many days passed, but she was still unsure of how her father and other relatives fared. She desperately wanted to learn more about the Dark Keep and her family’s condition.“We’ll go after having something to eat.”James stood up and walked out of the door.He made his way to the inn’s first floor and ordered a number of small dishes. Then, he ate them leisurely.Laelia sat beside him but had no desire to eat.Many people were also eating around the inn’s lobby.“I heard the Tabal Empire’s capital, Tabalham, was destroyed, and millions of people were slaughtered.”“Mhm. I also heard about the incident. It seems the Dark Keep was responsible for it.”“The Dark Keep must want one of Tabal Empire’s treasures which led t

Hearing that the Tabal Empire’s princess had come to visit him, a playful smile formed on Cloyd’s face.The Dark Keep’s Master was taken aback by the announcement. With a smile, he said, “I was just about to look for her. What a surprise that she’s come straight to me.”Cloyd flapped his paper fan, waved his hand, and said, “Please step away for a moment, Sir. I’d like to hear what the Tabal Empire’s princess wants from me.”“Alright.” The Dark Keep’s Master gave a small nod, stood up, and walked out of the main hall.Cloyd ordered, “Invite them inside.”“Understood.” The guard nodded and quickly left the main hall.James and Laelia waited at the City Lord’s Mansion’s gate for a while before the guard that left to report their visit returned.“Princess, this way, please.”The guard led James and Laelia into the City Lord’s Mansion.After passing through a hallway, they entered the main hall.A slim, young man with a slightly gaunt look sat inside the main hall.“My Lord, the

Contrary to Cloyd’s assumptions, James was not a simpleton.Although he was displeased, he did not let it show on his face. He looked at James with a smile and said, “Young man, do you understand what you’re saying? Have you any clue what kind of organization the Dark Keep is? Even I, myself, am not confident I can save Laelia’s family from them. Are you implying you have the strength to rescue them?”“You don’t have to worry about that.”James’ expression remained calm.Although James had only just met Cloyd, he learned from Laelia’s description of him that he would protect anyone seeking shelter in Liberty City, even if they had committed heinous crimes.Someone who would do something like this was definitely not a good person.Cloyd smiled faintly and said, “Haha... I heard that the Dark Keep’s Deputy Master was killed while trying to assassinate Laelia. Does this perhaps have something to do with you, young man?”James glanced at him and said coolly, “I wasn’t expecting you
Chapter 2145
The Dark Keep was the most mysterious organization in the Land of Tabal and had been established many years ago.The current master of the Dark Keep was also one of the strongest people in the Land of Tabal.His name was Miguel Hadecus, and he was Saturio’s elder brother.To him, James had to die for killing his younger brother.He was unwilling to speak needlessly with someone he was about to kill. All he wanted was to acquire the Targwyn family’s family treasure which was now in James’ hands. With a grim expression, Miguel stretched out his hand and said coldly, “Hand me the jade pendant, and I’ll be sure to leave your corpse in one piece.”Miguel’s attitude was arrogant and overbearing.James looked at the jade pendant in his hand. With a single thought from James, it disappeared and was transported into the Celestial Abode.“If you want it, you’ll need to have the ability to take it from me.”James smiled faintly.Then, he turned to Laelia behind him and whispered, “You sh

On a mountain range outside Liberty City, Miguel dashed in front of James and blocked his path.James turned around to flee, but Cloyd was also on his tail. They flanked him, and his escape routes were blocked off.Faced with these two powerhouses, James kept his cool.“I’m going to say it one last time, motherf*cker. Hand over the treasure, and I’ll leave your body in one piece,” Miguel said dangerously.“Ha,” James snickered.He activated Sacrilegious Ascension, and powerful True Energy emerged from his energy reservoir. Several streams of True Energy merged together, and James’ aura increased. Then, his True Energy shattered his own spine.At that moment, the power of heaven and earth gathered together to form a new spine.James stepped forward, causing the ground and surrounding mountains to tremble. The surrounding mountains were unable to withstand the force of the technique and began to crumble apart.Creatures within the mountains sensed the terrifying power released by

Miguel felt squashed by the force and fell from the sky, slamming into the rubble below him.James descended from the sky and steadily landed on a rock.An old man covered in blood crawled out from the rubble before him.It was Miguel.Sacrilegious Ascension was indeed formidable. James could crush all his opponents with the power of heaven and earth. Although Miguel was at the Immortal Ascension’s Third Stair, he could not resist the force and sustained injuries.He glared at James as he struggled to get up, and roared furiously, “You f*cker! I want you dead!”Suddenly, he cast his secret art, and his aura grew more potent.He was on the Immortal Ascension’s Third Stair but could forcibly increase his rank to the Immortal Ascension’s Fourth Stair. His aura grew considerably.“Die!”Miguel bellowed with a ferocious expression.A long sword manifested in his hand, and a Sword Energy rushed at James.James’ body flickered, and he reappeared in the distance, having successfully

“Y-You’re a demon?”Miguel’s eyes widened, and his face was full of panic. James said calmly, “It doesn’t matter what I am. I’m giving you one more chance. If you don’t answer, I’ll let you feel the full force of my wrath.”Demonic Energy seeped out from the black lotus and engulfed Miguel.Miguel was shaken to his very core. He knew he would die if he refused to speak.He was terrified. Faced with death, his survival instincts kicked in.“D-Don’t kill me. I’ll answer your questions.”Only then did James retract the Demonic Lotus.Laelia also gave James a dubious look.She knew about demons from legends she had heard. Never would she have expected a human from Earth to have such terrifying Demonic Energy. However, she could not care less at this point. She did not care if she was fraternizing with demons as long as it would allow her family to be saved.“Talk,” Laelia threatened.Miguel quickly replied, “Your family members are safe and sound in the Dark Keep’s base. We d
Chapter 2149
Laelia quickly left with her family.It did not take long for them put distance between themselves and the Soul Beast Mountain Range, where the Dark Keep’s base was located.Laelia shed tears of joy after they left the mountain range.“I’m so happy that you’re alright, Father. It’s fortunate nothing happened to you. The entirety Tabalham was brutally massacred. I thought you…”“Sobs…”Thinking of everything she had experienced recently, Laelia began to weep.Laelia was a princess that grew up in royalty and had never been hunted down before.Her suppressed emotions burst out as she recalled her escort guards sacrificing themselves for her one after the other, laying in pools of blood while she fled.“Laelia.”Zoe embraced her in his arms and gently comforted her, “You’ve been through a lot.”“What’s going on, Laelia?”“How did you get us out of the Dark Keep?”“Did you hand over our family’s jade pendant to the Dark Keep?”Some of her other family members surrounded her.
