Chapter 2642
Meanwhile, James returned to the terrace of the City Lord’s Mansion.
Quinella followed him.
James sat down in a gazebo in the backyard and rested.
He looked at Quinella, the armored female general, and asked, "What’s the matter? Do you need something?"
Quinella said seriously, "Your Majesty, the King of Korinth has always been a vindictive man.You killed many of Korinth’s Sages,
so it’s likely that they'll hold a grudge against you.I have a suspicion that the Korinth Sect’s Patriarch will try and strike back at
you."
James waved his hand lightly and said, "There’s nothing to worry about.Just leave these matters to me.Anyway, I have
something for you to do."
"Please give your orders, Your Majesty."
"There are rumors that the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword housed in the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion has been lost.I also heard
about Sangria’s lost Imperial Jade Seal.I want you to announce to the world that we’re looking for these two items, and we’ll
greatly reward anyone who provides us with information," instructed James.
James was not concerned about Sangria’s affairs.His priority was to obtain the inheritance in the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavillion
and undo Sangria’s curse as soon as possible, then find a way to return to Earth.
"Understood.I'll broadcast the announcement right away."
Quinella nodded, then turned to leave.
After Quinella left, Walganus came to see James.
Walganus walked over and sat on a stone chair on the opposite side as he stared at James with a strange expression.
James touched his face and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
Walganus shook his head and said, "No.I just feel like you’ve changed a lot.What did you experience in the Tribulation World,
and how did your strength improve so much? Also, how did you master such an impressive sword technique?"
"You seem to know more than you let on, judging by the fact that you know about the Tribulation World."
James looked curiously at Walganus.
Walganus smiled and said, "I read about it in some of my sect’s ancient books and simply made a rough guess.I wasn’t certain
whether I was right."
"I didn’t really do that much.I just went through my tribulation."
Since James decipher Walganus’ intent, he did not trust the man.
Thus, he refused to divulge too much to Walganus.
After mastering the Ancestral Sword Master's sword-fighting techniques in the Tribulation World, he no deeply desired the
swordsmanship inheritance in the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion.
However, he still had to undo the curse on Sangria.
Dispelling Sangria’s curse was pivotal to opening the seal on Galileo.
Otherwise, he would not be able to leave and return to Earth.
‘What's wrong? Don’t you trust me?"
Walganus stared at James.
James shook his head and said, "It’s not that I don’t trust you, but it’s really nothing of importance.My sword technique was
taught to me by a highly capable senior.I was warned not to divulge his information.So forgive me for keeping it from you."
Hearing this, Walganus did not pursue the topic any further.He stood up and said, "It’s my fault for prying too much.I’ll take my
leave now."
After speaking, Walganus immediately departed.
James, on the other hand, languidly stretched his body.
For the next few days, James stayed in Macchia City.
James learned the Korinthian Army had not given up their plans to attack and were still stationed at the Yantargh Canyon.
After learning about the news, James frowned and muttered, "They’re very persistent.It seems we'll have to beat them
thoroughly before they are willing to withdraw their forces completely."
"Your Majesty, according to our spies’ information, Korinth’s Emperor has personally gone to the Korinth Sect to implore their
Patriarch to step out of the mountain."
Quinella said worriedly, "Based on the rumors, the Korinth Sect’s Patriarch is at the Sage Rank’s Eighth Stage.However, these
rumors surfaced many years ago.I think he must have already surpassed this rank by now."
James nodded and said, "Alright.You're dismissed."
Quinella was very anxious about the matter, but James seemed unbothered by it.
In the end, James was their Emperor, and she had no authority to rebuke him.
She sighed and left.
After that, James continued to stay in Macchia City and planned his next move carefully.
James had already decided not to show mercy if the Korinthian Army attacked again.
This time, he was going to make sure they remembered his wrath.
