After Yuvin sent a warning, James decided not to use the identity of the Theognostos’ disciple anymore. After all, the illusion he
created of the Theognostos was related to Qiyana. Moreover, the Four Ancient Races have already united to investigate
Theognostos and search for Qiyana’s whereabouts.
Thus, he decided it was best to use the identity and appearance of Forty-nine.
As long as he does not encounter people from the Ancient Four Races and avoids using his exceptional physical defenses in
front of them, they would not suspect he was the Theognostos’ disciple.
As for Qiyana’s identity, it did not matter who she disguised as. At that moment, she had already changed her appearance and
aura.
James looked at Qiyana and said smilingly, “From now onward, you’ll be my junior and a disciple of Thaddeus Holiness. Let’s
call you Qiya.”
Qiyana smiled and teased him, “Why am I the junior when I’m stronger than you? Won’t people be suspicious? I should be the
senior.”
James shrugged and said, “Fine by me. It’s just a title anyway.”
Qiyana chuckled at his words. Her usual demeanor was cold, but at that moment, her smile was mesmerizing.
“Let’s think about how to obtain the Flamma Race’s primitive inscriptions,” said Qiyana.
James replied, “The Flamma Race’s primitive inscriptions will be easy to get. I’m more worried about the Tellures, Silvae, and
Metalla. The three races vanished from the Dark World long ago, so where will we find their inscriptions?”
Qiyana had no solution since these races disappeared long before the Glacies’ destruction.
“Speaking of which, what happened in the Dark World for them to have been wiped out? Is there a connection with the reason
the Glacies were annihilated?”
Qiyana gently shook her head, unsure of the details. Then, she suggested, “Let’s find a place to stay first.”
Flame City had many spiritual mountains. James purchased a spiritual mountain with a peaceful ambiance and sufficient energy
of heaven and earth. He was wealthy and could easily afford a spiritual mountain in Flame City.
James and Qiyana sat together atop the spiritual mountain, at a loss for what to do next.
Suddenly, James suggested, “How about I go down the mountain to ask about the situation? We’re not going to have any
progress just by sitting here. Latrusse should’ve arrived in the Flammae’s territory by now. He’ll surely launch an attack. As soon
as he takes action, we’ll be able to move around much easier.”
“I’ll come with you,” said Qiyana.
Qiyana was proactive since she was concerned about Qairo’s recovery.
“Alright, let’s head down together and look around the city.”
The two headed down the spiritual mountain and roamed Flame City.
The city was crowded with many living beings from the Flamma Race and other races. Like the Yefteros, the Flammae’s territory
also had a black market and arena. However, James had no time to participate in the arena.
The two continued to wander around the city aimlessly.
“Mount Belargh?” James saw a spiritual mountain crowded with cultivators ahead of them.
Qiyana explained, “Mount Belargh is Flame City’s largest trading market. Even the Four Ancient Races have opened stores
there.”
