James slowly stood up. "You had a taste of curse magic.
"Even after I returned to the Timaeus Sect, I could initiate the curse magic at any moment. You know what the consequences are
if you dare have any thoughts of betraying me."
"Of course! Of course!" Nando nodded vigorously.
He did not want to experience that excruciating pain for a second time ever. It was hellish.
"Remember this." James said monotonously, "Firstly, you mustn't tell anyone about seeing me here and what happened today.
"Secondly, head back to the Yaquis Sect and tell your dad that you've investigated the incidents. The person who has raided the
Yaquis Sect's secret realms is the Timaeus Sect's saint.
"Thirdly, you need to inform me each time the Yaquis Sect has made a major decision. An inscription for voice transmissions is
included in the curse inscriptions.
"Last but not least, you need to give me 500 Yuraeceon Daelm Rank pills every fifty epochs. You are to keep them if I can't make
it to collect them at the promised time. When I do come to pick them up, I will check to make sure that you have given me the
correct amount."
"Of course!" Nando nodded. "Master, I will do exactly as you say! However, when will you undo the curse..."
"That depends on how well you perform." James said flatly, "I might undo the curse at any time if you had carried out my
instructions perfectly. After all, I probably won't have much use for a nobody like you."
Nando sat slumped on the ground after hearing James' words.
"You can be on your way now," James said.
Nando scrambled to his feet and bowed deeply to James. Then, he teleported away.
After Nando left, Lesia began, "Master, you were even worse than me."
James chuckled softly. "This is what you call tactics. Although Nando is just a useless coward, killing him would be too much of a
waste. I can use him."
"Sneaky guys like you are the worst." Lesia snorted. "Most of you can't fight well, but you always have the most cunning ideas."
James was rendered speechless by her words.
He lifted his hand and conjured the Grimlore Map. Then, James used his Zen to select Mount Martialis. He vanished from the
spot in an instant.
Meanwhile, more than ten Yuraeceon Daelm Rank's Fifth Tribulation cultivators were kneeling outside the entrance of the main
hall on Mount No. 3.
These men were all Lyla's subordinates from the Timaeus Sect's Law Enforcement Hall.
Usually, these men would carry out their duties strictly and efficiently regardless of where they were or who they were dealing
with. These men were given the power and authority to do that as members of the Law Enforcement Hall.
However, the situation seemed different today at Mount Martialis, which had the lowest status among all seven mountains.
Those men had run into Timaeus Sect's priestess, Thea, at Mount No. 3 that day.
All those men could overpower Thea easily if they were to engage in a battle. However, they dared not get rough with Thea, who
had a higher status than everyone else there.
Thea sat on the top of the stairs leading to Mount No. 3's main hall. She had a haughty look on her face as she gazed at the Law
Enforcement Hall's members.
Perthacus and Lucille sat on each of Thea's sides. Behind Thea, Quattro could be spotted standing there.
Just then, a black form flew across the sky and landed at the bottom of the stairs.
Lyla stepped out of the dark cloud of aura and cast a stony gaze at Thea.
