Chapter 2703
He planned to return the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword and the Imperial Jade Seal to the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion and Sangria
after removing both the seal and the curse.
However, Walagnus had no idea what was on his mind.
“Don’t tell me that you plan on taking them for yourself, James. The Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword is an Ancestral God Weapon that
is unrivaled even in the Primordial Age, let alone the contemporary age. By possessing the weapon, the cultivation journey will
be a breeze. Meanwhile, the Imperial Jade Seal is closely connected with Curse Magic. Its power is comparable to an Ancestral
God Weapon. I’m now giving you the privilege to choose one for yourself.”
Walganus looked at James.
However, James seemed to be daydreaming, unwilling to make a decision. Guessing that James wanted everything for himself,
Walganus smiled and said, “Do you seriously wish to have everything for yourself?”
James said, ‘The Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword belongs to the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion, while the Imperial Jade Seal belongs
to Sangria. I’m only borrowing these objects for now. Once everything’s resolved, I’ll return them to their respective owners. I will
not take a single one of them.”
James knew that these treasures were rare, and each of them would create a frenzy in the outside world, compelling many to
seize them for themselves. However, to him, steadily building up his own strength was a surer way than possessing a treasure.
Once his strength increased, even an ordinary iron sword would bring about cataclysmic damage.
Hearing this, Walganus froze momentarily before saying with a smile, “I thought you wanted both for yourself. Since you wish to
return them, I have no right to ask for them. In that case, we’ll discuss more once everything’s resolved.”
“Mhm.” James nodded. Then, he put away the Imperial Jade Seal and the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword.
Walganus did not linger long and turned to leave. After walking out of the room, the smile on his face froze, and his expression
darkened. He would not give up just because James did not wish to possess the treasures. However, now was not the time to
seize them and end James’ life. He had to wait patiently for everything to be resolved.
James then stayed in the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion.
However, the next day, just as he was meditating while sitting in a lotus position on the ground, a knock came on the door.
James stopped and answered it. Walganus was standing outside.
“What’s wrong?” James asked.
Walganus said, “Xanthe and Xianna have returned.”
“Oh?” Delighted, James asked, “Where are they?”
“In the foyer.”
“Good, let’s get going.”
James hurriedly walked out of his room and followed Walganus to the main hall of the main peak. As he arrived at the main hall,
he noticed Xanthe Hailey, the previous Sword Master of the Sword Pavilion, and Empress Xianna.
“James.”
Upon seeing James, Xianna asked, “Have you found the Crepe Myrtle Divine Sword and the Imperial Jade Seal?”
“Yes.” James nodded.
Xanthe said, “Quick, let us have a look.”
