James had suffered various degrees of severe injuries.
The cracks and wounds found in different parts of James’ body would require a long time to be fully healed.
Even his soul was so tattered that it looked as though his soul might break and disappear at any moment.
James felt light-headed at that point.
After using the little strength he had left to say those words to Yui, James began concentrating on healing his injuries.
He did not access the powers of the Illus.
Instead, James used his own powers to heal the wounds.
“This might be a good thing for him,” Latrusse whispered to Lemuel, “For his body, overwhelming damage or shock to it can help
his body and soul bond better.” “I'm just glad he’s still alive.” Lemuel let out a sigh of relief.
A small frown creased Yui’s forehead as he stared pensively at James.
It was impossible to tell what was going through Yui’s head.
One of the Yeftero elders went up to Yui and said in an almost inaudible voice, “Sir Yui, we should use this opportunity and get
rid of that man now.
Then, we can head into the Glaciem Holy Land and exterminate the princess right away.” The Holy Celestial Rank cultivators
from the Suunteli Race and Zoltrumm Race walked over to the pair as well.
“Sir Yui, we never said anything about allowing him the time to heal his injuries during the bet.” “It’s the perfect time for us to
make our move now that he’s severely wounded.
We shouldn't waste any more time here.” Unlike the others, Yuvin commented, “We should honor our words since we agreed to
the bet.
Besides, that man is no ordinary cultivator.
He comes from the Theognostos and probably has the backing of a Transcendental Bliss Rank cultivator.
If we go back on our word and kill him now, can we bear the consequences when the cultivators from the Theognostos come
looking for us to avenge his death?” Yui nodded.
“Mihm.
He's right.
We’ll allow him the time to heal his injuries.
Then, I'l] kill him with the third hit.
Even if those from the Theognostos wanted to argue about it, we could tell them we did it fair and square.” The stories James
made up about the Temple of Theognostos were effective in making Yui feel wary about James’ background.
Upon hearing Yui’s words, the Suunteli and Zoltrumm cultivators fell silent and stood at the side.
Meanwhile, Qairo had teleported and reappeared next to James to protect him while James was trying to heal his wounds.
Qairo had received the orders from Qiyana to follow James’ instructions for now.
If anyone were to try to attack James, he would do everything in his power to protect James’ life.
As the days went by, James’ condition did not seem to improve much.
On the other hand, the cultivators from the Four Ancient Races had run out of patience.
“Sir Yui, we can’t wait for that man any longer.
The Glaciem Race’s princess must be conducting her closed-door meditation inside their holy land, and she must be close to
finishing it.
Her powers and capabilities are not inferior to yours.
It'll be bad news for the Four Ancient Races if she succeeds in completing her training.” “Sir Yui, we mustn’t forget about our
mission because of the bet with this man.” “Exactly.
We won’t kill him.
Instead, we’ll head straight into the Glaciem Holy Land and hunt down the princess right away.” While those men tried to
persuade Yui to take action, Lemuel and Latrusse teleported toward where James and Qairo were.
Latrusse asked, “What's the matter? You’ve had enough waiting?” Lemuel said frigidly, “You’ve agreed to the bet previously.
Are you going to go back on your word now?” Yui stared at those three men standing in the distance with a slight frown on his
forehead.
He said, “I'll handle those two men.
The rest of you should eliminate that puppet.” Yui decided not to wait any longer.
He had heard rumors about how the princess of the Glaciem Race was a talented cultivator.
Yui would lose the best opportunity to exterminate her if they happened to let her get away and go into hiding this time.
As soon as Yui moved, Lemuel and Latrusse teleported toward him as well.
Yui was a genius cultivator with exceptional powers.
