“Hey, are you okay?” James asked as he stood in front of Xi Shi who blinked her eyes as she remembered where she was.“Are you feeling all right?” James asked again as Xi Shi noticed how close they were, her cheeks suddenly glowed with a light red hue.“Oh sorry” James said awkwardly as he noticed this change and stepped backward.“I’m also fine thank you, what is this piece of paper on me?” Liu Xiang asked as he looked down to see a piece of paper stuck on his chest with several runes on it.“Make sure you don’t make the mistake of taking it off, those are concealment runes to shroud us from the thing in the core” James replied grimly.“You mean that eye, did you see it too?” Xi Shi asked in surprise as she thought back to the intense pressure she felt from that eye.“Huh did you see it?” James asked in shock.“Yeah, right before we escaped the illusion, I saw a huge eye staring at us, at that moment, I could feel such intense pressure that I have only ever felt from a few people” Xi
“How dare you spit such foul stench on me, didn’t your parents teach you to respect your elders” James’s voice sounded together with the head of the virulent serpent falling to the ground, as he walked out of the miasma clutching his sword he wiped the blood off calmly before turning to the group who stood watching him like he was a ghost.“This guy has to be the most mysterious person I have ever seen” Ye Yang remarked in astonishment staring at James who grinned while walking up to them.“I was wondering how you were going to take care of it, how did you even do that?” Xi Shi asked standing together with Liu Xiang who also stared at James in shock, even at his peak, he would have to be wary of the poisonous miasma of the Virulent Serpent but James just walked in without hesitation like he knew that he wouldn’t be harmed, he wasn’t the only one with this thought, Xi Shi also had the same thought in her mind.‘I didn’t even know they were behind us’ Luo Zen thought while staring at Xi
A flash of light was followed by the appearance of a figure in a pure white dimension, the whole dimension was white filled with nothing, it was totally empty except for the doorway that stood some feet away from him.“A creepy doorway, why not?” James chuckled to himself before walking through the doorway, as he walked through, he felt a strange force wash over him seeping through every pore in his body as if, trying to inspect every single secret he kept, the feeling lasted for a while before he was teleported into a grassy field, immediately after appearing, James didn’t waste time and quickly took a look at his surroundings.He was in a beautiful grassland, there was a magnificent sun which could be seen standing triumphantly in the sky providing light, butterflies flew all around the flowers which graced the environment with enchanting smells, birds flew all around the sky as rabbits and other insects played around on the ground, all this combined painted a beautiful image in Jam
“I don’t know who you are but I’ll do as you say, I’m sure you know better than to break the oath of a sword” The Northern Sword replied with a nod to James who smiled just as the dimension shook for three cloaked figures to appear.“Looks like your opponents are here, I’ll be going on now, Xi Shi wait for me” James said to The Northern Sword and then to Xi Shi before teleporting over to the orb, he looked back to catch a view of The Northern Sword rushing toward the three figures alone if it was a different person there, James would have been worried but he knew who the Northern Sword was so he had no fear, he turned around and placed his palms on the orb before disappearing leaving the others.When he was some distance away from the three figures, The Northern Sword paused before sitting on the ground, his long sword lay next to him as he waved his hand causing a gourd to appear in his hands which he raised to his mouth, he then proceeded to gulp down its contents, by now the three
“And that, ladies and gentlemen is how you make an entrance” James said with a bow before leaping off the monster’s back to land on the ground.“James! How..?” Xi Shi’s eyes lit up in shock after seeing James who grinned and walked over to her.“Yeah I missed you too” James winked at Xi Shi then turned to the others around.“Please help me loot those bodies over there” James said to them with a smile.“Yes of course” The others quickly took off to execute the task, they didn’t want to imagine what would happen if James got angry, the humongous monster at the side was a hint.After seeing them move along, James turned back to XI Shi.“Give me a minute with him” James whispered to her causing her to nod in response, James then turned to The Northern Sword who twitched seeing this.James’s expression suddenly turned serious as he walked toward The Northern Sword, taking each step one by one, watching James approach him, The Northern Sword instinctively grabbed his sword, his expression c
"Huh? What is this?" James muttered as he strolled through the Fireherd stronghold, watching the wine, meat, food, and bodies strewn across the hall, they were all asleep."What happened here?" Xi Shi asked also curious."We're about to find out" James replied staring at the door at the end of the hall.**************************************************"We have to tidy up the place before Master gets back otherwise, he'll be pissed off if he sees the situation of the stronghold" Di er said with a sigh as he massaged his forehead which ached, they had held a feast for three days non-stop."Just forget it, what are you so worried about? Master is probably still within the Secret Realm" Shouwang said with a smile, he glanced at the others seated around the table and chuckled before sipping wine from his gourd."How are you still able to drink after all that?" Xuèmai asked in confusion, the past three days had been one to never forget, they had partied throughout and drank so much wine th
"Greetings to the Lord" Everyone around also did the same as Eric, giving a light bow to the Old man who nodded in response."It's nice to see you again Yao Ming" The Old man said with a smile."Hello brother" Yao Ming replied with a sigh. "I hope you've been well, I thought you were dead" The Old man chuckled as he walked over and hugged Yao Ming."You know I can't die if you haven't" Yao Ming replied with a chuckle."We have a lot to talk about, let's go somewhere private" The Old Man said with a smile."Okay, thank you for everything, I'll meet up with you later" Yao Ming said to his brother then turned to Eric who was still dazed and hadn't registered the fact that Yao Ming was the Lord's brother."Oo..okay" He managed to speak while still digesting the situation."Are these your friends?" The Old Man asked observing Xi Shi and the others behind Yao Ming, when his eyes landed on Xi Shi and James, his eyes paused for a second before moving on, he waved his hand causing the environ
In the battle hall of the Capital, located in the city lord's residence, the 4 generals were all gathered around the Battle table, James and Xi Shi were also seated there, as for Xi Shi and Shòuwáng, they were keeping Mimi busy elsewhere."This is a direct provocation to our esteemed Lord, we cannot stand for this rubbish, I say we attack with our full force and decimate Sergan's force" A pale faced man said in anger, his hair changed from black to brown as he spoke, his confident aura displayed his strength as a Transcendent on the same level as Yao Ming, the fact was that excluding Yao Jing who was a peak Transcendent and James who was an Ancestor, the rest were all on the same level of strength as Yao Ming, this particular General was named General Hans."Sergan is a valid threat to our Continent, we have to eliminate him as soon as possible, I agree with General Hans" A middle-aged man with an eye patch added with a serious expression, his left hand clutched a wooden cane, this wa
