Chapter 2326
The Protector had informed the Demon Race of this matter using arcane art.
However, the Demon Race was divided into many clans. The strongest among them was the Hadean. Clan, whereas the clan
Marcello was in was the Azurean Clan.
Since James swaggered around using the Azurean Clan’s token in front of the Hadean Clan, he would have to pay for this insult.
“Find him even if you have to comb through every nook and canny of the rubble.”
Then, many began searching around for James. However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not find him.
Both the Protector and Marquis knew that James must be here somewhere. So, they stood in mid-air and performed terrifying
arcane arts, bombarding the area relentlessly for ten days before stopping.
Meanwhile, James was sipping wine in the Celestial Abode. Sensing that the bombardment outside had died down, he smiled
faintly and said, “Looks like the Demon Race is out of patience.”
Henry asked, “When will they leave then?”
Holding the glass of wine in his hand, James said, “There’s no need to rush things. We’ll wait for a few more days. The Demon
Race hasn’t retreated yet. I’ll lose my life if I leave the Celestial Abode now.”
At that moment, Delainey walked over to them, “James, Quintina is at the City Lord’s Mansion.”
“Oh.” James stood up and headed toward the gates of the City Lord’s Mansion.
As he pushed the door open, a woman wearing a green dress was standing outside. Upon seeing James, Quintina could not
help but ask, “James, how’s the situation outside now?”
Hearing this, James furrowed his eyebrows and said, “The battle is over. Your father has been defeated.”
“What?” Quintina was stunned.
James hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, he isn’t dead. He fled the Divinity Sect alongside a few other cultivators. Meanwhile, the
Divinity Sect has been reduced to a pile of rubble. If I guess correctly, the Demon Race will soon make a move against the
Welkin Academy, the Ancient Clan, and many other powerful sects of the Ancient Realm. Soon, the Demon Race will conquer
the Ancient Realm.”
Hearing this, Quintina was filled with consternation.
James glanced at her and consoled her, “As your strength is too weak, there’s nothing you can do at the moment. You stand no
chance against the powerful figures of the Demon Race. Your father instructed me to take good care of you. I’m planning to
return to Earth soon. If you’re willing, you may remain here inside the Celestial Abode. Once I return to Earth, I’ll release you.”
He could tell that she was worried about her father and the Ancient Clan. However, if she returned to the Ancient Clan now, she
would not stand a chance against the Demon Race if they attacked.
After speaking, James turned to leave, heading toward the mountain outside the city. That was because there was still a group of
cultivators there. Now, he had to inform them of the situation outside.
Quintina followed close behind James.
“There must be something you can do, James,” she said. “You managed to scare them off by using the token before. Why can’t
you use that again?”
James stopped and looked at Quintina behind him, saying, “Ms. Quintina, aren’t you overestimating my
strength a little? There’s nothing I can do. Besides, I’m also dying to know why they’re after my life.”
He was indeed bewildered. Back then, Lucifer had acknowledged him. Otherwise, he would not be able to leave Mount Walvern.
In that case, why would the Demon Race attack him?
“Could it be that the Protector and Marquis are after my life?” James murmured.
