Then, James turned to Youri and greeted, “Great Elder.”
He also looked at the other elders and called out to them, “Elders.”
The Doom Race’s Patriarch, Dolph Dalibor, looked at Wyot calmly. Then, he asked, “How did you escape?”
James replied calmly, “It’s a long story. Let’s head inside first.”
On the main peak in the Doom Race’s territory, Dolph sat in the highest seat in the main hall. Below him were a few core
members of the Dooms, all of which were elders. At the same time, they were also powerful cultivators at the Acme Rank.
There were eight Acmeans inside the hall.
This was different from what James knew.
According to the intel he obtained, major races had only about five Acmeans. Meanwhile, any other race that had at least one
Acmean would be considered a high-status race.
However, there were already eight Acmeans inside the main hall.
“Tell us what happened, Wyot.”
Dolph’s voice resounded throughout the area.
James stood up and clasped his fist at Dolph and the other elders. His face darkened, and he said, “Father, Elders, I need you all
to help avenge me.”
James said, “When I was out training, I was ambushed. I was brought to a mysterious place and tortured for a long time before I
finally found a chance to escape. However, I did not dare to come back immediately. So, I went into hiding and cultivated.”
Dolph said, “According to the information we’ve gathered, the Heaven-Eradicating Sect were the culprits that captured you. All
these years, we’ve been trying to find their headquarters but were to no avail.”
James shook his head and said, “I wasn’t captured by humans but by the Soul Race.”
“The Soul Race?” Dolph, Youri, and the other elders exclaimed in unison.
Dolph stood up and said solemnly, “You shouldn’t spout nonsense, Wyot. Are you sure it was the Soul Race?”
James shook his head lightly and said, “I-I’m not very sure. But I escaped from a secret base of the Soul Race.”
Dolph had a solemn expression.
Youri stepped forward and said, “Young Master, you must be exhausted. How about you go rest first? We’ll investigate this
matter thoroughly.”
“Alright, Elder Youri.”
James cupped his fists, turned, and left the main hall.
After he left, the Doom Race’s powerhouses began to discuss.
“Would the Soul Race really do such a thing?”
“According to our intel, the Heaven-Eradicating Sect was the one that captured Wyot. One of the Heaven-Eradicating Sect’s
powerhouses had also publicly admitted that they’d captured Wyot.”
“Yeah. So what does this have to do with the Soul Race?”
The Doom Race’s powerhouses discussed, expressing their opinions one after another.
Dolph looked at Youri and asked, “What do you think, Elder Youri?”
Youri fell into deep thought. After a while, he replied, “Wyot disappeared for eight thousand Epochs. There had been no news
about him all this while, yet he reappeared out of the blue. I think that’s a bit suspicious.”
Dolph looked at Youri and asked, “Oh? Why do you say so?”
Youri shared his opinion, “A lot of things have happened recently. The Soul Race has repeatedly come to us, accusing us of
working with the Human Race. Even the Cloud Race has come to us, claiming I’ve visited them and taken their key. With all
these strange events, it feels like Wyot’s return is a bit...”
Dolph asked, “What you mean to say is that this might be the between us and the Soul Race?”
Human Race’s scheme to cause conflict
Youri shook his head, saying, “I can’t say for sure yet. The most important thing now is to verify Wyot’s identity. We must check if
he’s the real deal or a human disguising as Wyot.”
James had already predicted their reaction to Wyot’s sudden return to the Doom Race. He was fully prepared. No matter how the
Dooms tried to verify his identity, they would never be able to find out he was a human.
His main goal was to gain the Doom Race’s trust and make them think he was the real Wyot. Then, he could provoke the
relationship between the Doom Race and the Soul Race. After getting these two into conflict, he would break the Doom Race’s
relationships with all the other races.
