James was dumbfounded.
‘What exactly is going on?’
The Curse Inscriptions calmed down, and James snapped out of the mysterious state.
He could no longer sense the Curse Power coming from them when he looked at them again.
James fell deep into thought.
‘What exactly happened?’ thought James.
James knew Jules quite well and knew he could not be a member of the Sanctuary of Darkness. Yet, why did he sense Curse
Power from him twice?
Jules called out again, “Mr. Caden?”
James returned to his senses and said smilingly, “Sorry, I was absorbed in my thoughts for a moment.”
Benedict stared at James. He was not convinced the weak-looking man before him could defeat Kai, who was a Fourth Heaven
Grand Emperor, in a single blow.
He carefully used his Divine Senses.
However, he was sure that he was right about James being at the Sage Rank’s Twenty-Fifth Stage.
Benedict asked tentatively, “I heard you’re also an alchemist and would like to discuss alchemy with me, Mr. Caden?”
James replied with a smile, “Nope. How could I be an alchemist? I’ve heard many things about you and wanted to use this
opportunity to see you. Now that I’ve seen you, I’ll take my leave.”
After speaking, he stood up and turned to leave.
As soon as James got up, Monica also followed.
“Why are you leaving, Mr. Caden?” Jules got up and chased after them.
Yulia was puzzled by the situation. She looked at her father and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Benedict stood up and said calmly, “It’s nothing. That man is very weak. He’s not worthy of stepping foot into our house.”
After speaking, Benedict turned to leave.
Regardless of the rumors, Benedict trusted his judgments better.
He concluded that James was just a weak and unknown cultivator.
Jules chased after James and shouted, “Mr. Caden! Mr. Caden, wait for me!”
After catching up, he asked, “Why did you suddenly leave when everything was fine?”
James said solemnly, “It’s nothing. I’m tired and want to return to Sky City to rest. Help me apologize to Yulia for my sudden
departure.”
After speaking, he turned to leave.
Jules touched his head and murmured puzzledly, “What happened? Everything seemed fine, so why did he suddenly leave?”
On the way back, Monica asked, “What’s the matter, Sir? Everything seemed fine, so why did you leave?”
James did not respond.
At that moment, he was communicating with Emperor Jabari in the Celestial Abiode.
Although Emperor Jabari was in seclusion trying to recover his strength, he could still talk to James.
“Emperor Jabari, why did I sense Curse Power from Benedict and Jules?”
Emperor Jabari’s voice came from the Celestial Abode. “I don’t know. You’ll have to figure it out yourself. However, since you
sensed Curse Power from them, it’s most likely that the Sanctuary of Darkness has infiltrated the Elixir Pavilion. You have to be
careful while in the Elixir Pavilion.”
“Alright. I will.”
James took a deep breath.
It seemed necessary for him to contact Jimmu and check if there had been any activity in the Sanctuary of Darkness recently.
