James refrained from acting rashly.
Yvan once again took his seat at the forefront of the main hall. Waleria remained seated on the ground.
“How did you uncover our identities?” Waleria inquired.
The Deputy Master, Zeloneth, smiled lightly and said,” Initially, we didn’t recognize who you were. It was only when you
disappeared for millions of years that Master calculated you’d appear soon. Delaying any further would’ve allowed him to recover
from his injuries.
“I didn’t realize you had infiltrated this universe as imposters of the Simpson couple.
“However, the Simpsons have an old friend who’s still acquainted with Master. I only found out upon informing Master that the
couple had actually fallen into the Theos Sect a long time ago.
“Still, even if you hadn’t impersonated them here, Master would’ve revealed himself and set you up for the kill. You would’ve
been trapped in his formation upon arrival.”
“So, that’s how it is.” Waleria realized.
James stepped forward and said, “Master, Deputy Master, Waleria and I truly have no connection. She merely employed me as
her bodyguard using the Empyrean herbs. To prove my commitment to joining the Daemonium Sect, I’ll kill her right now.”
James raised his hand and moved to strike Waleria’s head, but before he could strike, an immensely terrifying force spread,
forcing him back.
Yvan, who was at the forefront, spoke calmly, “As I’ve mentioned before, I won’t kill her right now. You’re free to go. It’s better you
don’t linger any longer. If you choose to remain, please don’t hold me accountable for my actions.”
Yvan refrained from killing James for two distinct reasons. Firstly, eliminating James would not compel Waleria to surrender the
runes, even if she had damaged them.
Secondly, James held no significance to him. Whether he was released or not, he posed no threat. Furthermore, even if Yvan did
want to end James’ life, he could not do so in Waleria’s presence.
“Since you’re unwilling to take me in, I’ll leave,” James said as he walked away from the palace, quickly disappearing from the
area. After James left, Waleria breathed a sigh of relief.
Yvan looked down at her and asked, ‘That person has gone. What about what I wanted?”
Waleria’s mind flickered, and she retrieved some brilliant inscriptions from the storage treasure. These inscriptions were
substantial, resembling both inscriptions and keys. Yvan collected them with satisfaction.
“I still need you to open the Yhala Realm for me,” Yvan said, turning and leaving. His body vanished, but his voice still echoed in
the main hall.
‘Take her down, guard her closely, and wait for my injuries to heal.”
“Yes, Master.” After receiving the order, Zeloneth personally guided Waleria away.
Although James had left the area, he had not departed from this universe. He concealed himself, observing Waleria’s every
move. He knew that she had been taken by Zeloneth to a planet within this universe, imprisoned deep within a spiritual
mountain’s dungeon.
However, the spiritual mountain possessed a formidable formation. Even though he had the Primal Mantra, he would not be able
to break the formation in a short time. He knew he had missed the best time to rescue Waleria. He should have done so when
his cultivation base was unsealed earlier. Yet, he did not want to take unnecessary risks.
The main hall was filled with many powerhouses, including about thirty from the Caelum Acme Rank, along with Zeloneth and
Yvan, whose cultivation base was immeasurable. His Blithe Omniscience might not allow him to escape from so many
powerhouses.
“What should I do?” James remained hidden in the starry sky, his expression growing serious.
‘To save or not to save?” James hesitated.
On one hand, he appeared to lack the strength to rescue her. On the other hand, Waleria had been kind to him, treating him well
during their extended time together. She had not forgotten to let him escape when danger arose. James found himself trapped in
a dilemma.
