The Boundless Welkin’s powerhouses felt an abnormal change in the Dark Heavenly Path, making their faces pale in fear.
The last time an abnormality emerged at the Dark Heavenly Path was countless years ago during the Dark Strife. The Xaadsan
family’s head had sensed James’ overwhelming and impressive power, and was gasping for air due to the pressure.
The other Xaadsans were also similarly terrified.
“It’s your last chance.” James’ voice boomed threateningly.
Laethis Xaadsan, the Xaadsan family head, said frantically, “I’ll speak! I’ll tell you everything. Please come inside. It’s a very long
story. I’ll slowly go through everything with you.”
Laethis made a welcoming gesture, inviting Xaadsan into the house. James withdrew his Chaos Power and walked into the
Xaadsan’s spiritual mountain. He sat down in the hall of a manor atop the spiritual mountain. Rare spiritual fruits were served to
him. However, he had no intention of eating them. James simply wanted to find out about Jabari’s whereabouts.
Looking at Laethis, he said, “Speak.”
“Alright.”
Laethis went silent for a while, thinking about how to explain the situation to James. James did not rush him, waited patiently for
the Xaadsans’ head to speak. After a long silence, he finally said, “You’re right. Jabari has indeed appeared in our house before.”
He looked at James and asked humbly, “Sir, I hope you don’t mind me asking, but who are you? There are many powerful Lords
in the Dark World. Even if we haven’t met, I should at least have heard about you before this. Why do I know nothing about you?
Also, what is your relationship with Jabari and why are you looking for him?”
James looked at him and remarked. “Do you think you’re fit to ask me these questions?”
“O-Of course not.”
Laethis shook his head vigorously. He could not discern the relationship between James and Jabari, and it gave him quite the
dilemma. After he took a deep breath, he said slowly, “Jabari had indeed visited us before this. He was brought here by the
former family head’s daughter and our family's former princess.”
“Oh.” James suddenly looked on interestedly. He looked at Laethis and said, “You had better tell me everything you know. If you
dare mislead me, I’ll show you the full consequences of your insolence.”
“Y-Yes, of course.”
Laethis nodded and said, “Xulia Xaadsan is the daughter of our family’s former head. She was a rare prodigy in the Boundless
Welkin. Despite the plentiful fearsome powerhouses in the Dark World, she was someone fully capable of ruling the era.
“She was so talented that it was a matter of time before she would have become a mighty Dark Lord.
“About an Epoch ago, she left to train outside of the Boundless Welkin. After some time, she returned with a powerful man. It
was Jabari, the person you’re looking for.
“He came to our family and stayed with us for a while. However, he was a very ambitious man. He deceived Xulia, killed our
former family head, and attempted to usurp his position. When he failed, he took Xulia hostage and fled.”
Laethis explained the events related to Jabari.
Hearing this, James made a complicated face.
