James was not powerful enough to battle Lady Wikolia head- on or exterminate her right away.
It was not the time for him to exact his revenge yet.
On the other hand, Lady Wikolia looked around the room with a pensive look in her eyes.
Lemuel, the founder of Dieux Academy, had shown up in the main hall. He appeared to share a close relationship with James. It
would not do Lady Wikolia any good if she insisted on sticking around.
She let out a soft chuckle. “See you around, James.”
Then, Lady Wikolia teleported and vanished from her spot.
Eventually, only the Dieux Academy’s elders remained in the main hall.
Lemuel looked at James and sighed wearily. “Seriously, things always get too complicated with you around!”
James gave a small shrug. “I can’t help it. I’ve set up a meticulous plan, but Yui Yeftero is just terrifyingly resilient. He managed
to escape in the end.” “Anyhow, you should leave the Dieux Academy first. I don’t want the members of our academy to get
dragged into a potentially risky situation,” Lemuel asked James to leave.
The others had blank looks on their faces as they had no idea what Lemuel was referring to.
James bowed slightly. “I’m sorry for causing you so much trouble.”
Lemuel responded calmly, “You didn’t have to apologize for that. After the trip to the Dark World, I have acquired new knowledge
and enlightenment. I have even advanced into the middle stage of the Holy Celestial Rank. I should be able to handle the
Yefteros as long as they didn’t dispatch all their troops to the Dieux Academy.”
Lemuel felt rather confident of his powers.
Back when he had achieved the early stage of Holy Celestial Rank, Lemuel was powerful enough to take down Holy Celestial
Rank cultivators who were already in the late stage.
Currently, Lemuel could already be considered one of the top, skilled cultivators alive, even amongst those from the Dark World.
‘Take care.”
James was about to leave when an overpowering pressure fell upon the room.
“Leaving so soon?”
A frigid, monotonous voice resounded in the air.
Everyone inside the Dieux Academy could feel the immense pressure coming down on them. The force was so great that almost
all of the disciples had gotten on their knees as their legs gave out due to the pressure.
“Damn it!”
Lemuel stared in a certain direction with a grim look in his eyes.
He hurried out of the main hall, and James followed closely behind him. James’ body was strong enough to withstand the
overwhelming pressure.
Meanwhile, Lady Wikolia halted in her tracks as she detected the pressure cast over the Dieux Academy. She could sense the
presence of a powerful cultivator appearing near the Dieux Academy.
Lady Wikolia quickly decided to stay around and observe the situation from outside the Dieux Academy’s universe.
Somewhere high in the sky above the Dieux Academy, a black cloud started forming and slowly grew larger.
Eventually, an elderly man in a black robe stepped out of the dark cloud.
It was Halianor, the Great Elder of the Yeftero Race.
“I’ve finally found you, Forty-nine! You’ve injured Saint Yui from the Yeftero Race and killed all thirty-six of our Umbraguards. Do
you admit to your crimes?” Halianor bellowed furiously.
James knitted his brows.
He did not expect the Yefteros to reach the academy so soon, nor was he expecting to see Halianor there.
The man must possess impeccable powers to have been appointed as the Great Elder of the Yeftero Race, which was the
strongest group among the Four Ancient Races.
