Leaving that remark, Dolph simply turned to leave. The Sect Elders in the main hall looked at one another and did not utter a
single word.
James, on the other hand, walked toward Youri and clasped his fists, saying, “Great Elder, I do not know what I have done wrong
to deserve your discrimination. If you simply wish to cancel my right to become the next Patriarch, I won’t bat an eyelid as long
as the other Sect Elders agree to it.”
Saying that, he turned to leave as well.
Some Sect Elders who did not see eye to eye with Youri stepped forward immediately,
“Great Elder, this is a power struggle of our race. Since we’re choosing a Patriarch, we should do so fair and square. Don’t you
dare play your tricks behind the scenes.”
“Great Elder, you headed to the Cloud Race and demanded they hand over their token. Are you planning to release Soren
Plamen?”
“Are you still determined to get your hands on the Blithe Omniscience?”
“You have cultivated the Human Race’s Omniscience Path and reached the Eighth Stage. Only the Blithe Omniscience remains.
By obtaining the Blithe Omniscience, your strength will ascend to greater heights.”
“Don’t play with fire, Sect Elder.”
They spoke up.
Youri was enraged. Although he had cultivated the Omniscience Path, headed to the Cloud Race, and demanded that Soren
Plamen teach him the Blithe Omniscience, he did not commit these acts.
“Enough!”
He roared.
His deafening roar reverberated throughout the main hall. The Sect Elders looked at one another. Not daring to provoke Youri
any further, they simply turned to leave.
Youri clenched his fists, and veins bulged on his wrinkled face as he said coldly, “Once I find out who’s behind this, I will tear him
to pieces!”
At that moment, James left the main hall. Since he had passed the examination and made things hard for Youri, he was in a
good mood. After this examination, no one else would question his identity. Since his position as the Doom Race’s Patriarch was
secured, he could execute his plan much easily now.
He returned to Mount Doom.
Though Yemima did not go to the main peak’s main hall, she was paying close attention to the affairs there. Upon James’ return,
she reprimanded him, “You were too reckless, Wyot! How could you question the Great Elder in front of all the Sect Elders?
Although the Great Elder does not support you in becoming the next Patriarch, everything he does is for the sake of the Doom
Race. Why would he conspire with the Human Race?”
James said nonchalantly, “Not necessarily. The Great Elder has cultivated the Human Race’s Omniscience Path. Besides, his
mastery of the Path is extremely high—at the Eighth Stage. Since he has no right to cultivate the Chaos Sacred Art of our race,
naturally, he would turn his attention to the Blithe Omniscience. To become stronger, he could do anything.”
Wyot had a Thousand Paths Holy Body, which was very rare. Even if the Human Race somehow
found someone with a Thousand Paths Holy Body, it was impossible to cultivate all the various Paths
of heaven and earth, nor could a human cultivate pure Chaos Power.
Youri had no choice but to believe that the Wyot standing in the hall was real.
Although Wyot’s identity was proven, Youri felt he had betrayed the Doom Race and was working with
the Human Race. Otherwise, there was simply no way to explain the incident with the Cloud Race.
Could it be there was another member of the Doom Race that impersonated him?
Dolph looked at Youri and asked, “Then please explain where you were when the Bug Race attacked the Cloud Race.”
Youri immediately explained, “I was in a small world looking for an Empyrean herb.”
“Can anyone testify for you?” asked Dolph.
Youri shook his head and said, “I went alone and don’t have anyone to testify my whereabouts.”
“Then, you’ll have to explain this matter to the Soul Race during our impending conference.”
