Chapter 2749
Puzzled, Thea asked, "What’s this about?"
She had been traveling with Brielle for a long time, but Brielle never brought up the matter.
Brielle looked at the three men suspiciously and asked, "You're saying you truly weren’t responsible for this?"
James shrugged and said, "I have no idea what you're talking about.Let’s not dwell on this matter.The my priority is to head back
as soon as possible and prepare to fight against the Athurans’ prodigy in a month."
"Yorick, right? I know about him," said Qusai.
James looked at Qusai and asked, "Is he strong?"
Qusai nodded.
"Yeah, he’s incredibly strong."
He tried to recall what he could about Yorick.
After a while, he said, "Many years ago, I went to the Athura Realm with my father and met the great powerhouse, Lamont
Andalus.At that time, Yorick was in his teens but already possessed strong Athuran Power.
"His father, Lamont is a Grand Emperor, so he has the blood of Grand Emperor flowing in his veins and was born with powerful
energy comparable to Sage Energy.He became a Sage at only ten years old.Shortly afterward, he awakened the Athuran Power
in his body.
"I can’t even describe how strong he probably is right now."
After speaking, Qusai looked at James.
"I trust your strength, but humans are currently living in the Apocalypse Age.The seal in the human body is severely limiting the
progress of human cultivation.I think your chances of winning against him are very slim."
Henrik said dismissively, "There’s nothing to be afraid of.You shouldn't be marvelling at others while destroying James’
confidence."
Qusai said troubledly, "I was only speaking the truth."
James parted his lips and said, "That’s enough for now.Let’s head back to Wrymstead first."
Since things had already come to this, he was left no choice but to give it all he had.
No matter how strong Yorick was, he would need to win at all costs.
Mount Bane was essential for the survival of human cultivators on Earth.
The strong Empyrean Spiritual Energy was beneficial to suppress the curses in their bodies.
If they were to yield Mount Bane to these Foreigners, the effects of the curse on the human bodies would be accelerated, and
many lives would be lost.
Qusai said, "You can leave ahead of us, James.I’ve met Yorick before, so I should be able to inquire about his cultivation rank."
James nodded and said, "That would be great.If that’s the case, I'll wait for you outside Mount Bane."
"Alright!"
Qusai nodded and walked toward Bane City.
James, Thea, and the others walked out of Mount Bane.
James and Thea walked side by side.
Thea asked, "Honey, who are those two guys?"
James smiled and said, "I met them while training in the Demon Realm."
He pointed to Henrik and explained, "That guy is Henrik.Don’t judge him by his listless appearance.He actually has a very
influential position in the Demon Realm.His teacher is a Grand Emperor which used to be the former lord of the Demon
Realm.That person no longer wanted to involve themselves worldly affairs and passed the position to him."
Henrik chuckled and said, "Nice to meet you, Thea!"
Thea nodded politely in response to Henrik.
James continued to speak, "The other one that went to Bane City is called Qusai.I don’t really know much about him, but I know
he’s from the Fiend Realm.Judging by how he is acquainted with Yorick, he must also come from an esteemed background."
Henrik interjected.
"Qusai? His father is the lord of the Fiend Realm."
Hearing this, Thea clicked her tongue exasperatedly.
James only went to the Demon Realm once yet managed to befriend highly influential creatures.
The group headed out of Mount Bane while chatting happily.
Soon, they reached Mount Bane’s border.
Many cultivators were gathered outside.
As soon as James appeared, Quintina asked, "How did it go, James?"
Before James could speak, Thea pinched his side.She asked jealously, "Who's this?"
