"You know who the Yaquis Sect's young master is, right?" James grinned sinisterly.
"I caught him. I wanted to get revenge since he tried to assassinate me previously. Surprisingly, that
idiot was so scared of dying that he told me all those secrets!"
The elderly cultivator had a look of bewilderment on his face. "You caught Nando?! Where is he now?"
"He got away." James shrugged. "After I caught Nando, I found out from him about the Yaquis Sect's
three secret realms that held their training resources.
"I kept him confined in a cave and left to destroy those three secret realms first. However, Nando was
gone by the time I returned. Ha... I should've just eliminated him."
The elderly cultivator grinned broadly. "That's Yaquis Holiness' son we're talking about. If you killed him,
even the Timaeus Sect might not be able to protect you from Yaquis Holiness' wrath."
James shrugged again. "With Timaeus Sect's power and influence, do we need to fearYaquis Sect's
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtretaliation?"
The elderly man let out a hearty laugh. "What if we decide to hand you over to the Yaquis Sect to
appease their anger?"
"Is that even possible?" James gave the elderly man a sideways glance. "Would Yaquis Holiness
change his mind to replace the Timaeus Sect and make Yaquis Sect the number-one group just
because you surrendered me, a Yuraeceon Xaelm Rank cultivator, to him? That's so far-fetched."
The elderly cultivator slowly nodded and got up. "You're bright and fearless. It seems the Timaeus Sect
is about to see the birth of an amazing cultivator.
"I've gained a lot from our chat, young man."
Then, the elderly cultivator turned around and headed for the door.
"Mister, what will be my punishment?" James stood up and asked.
The elderly cultivator glanced over his shoulder and snickered, "Just calm down and stay here for the
time being. Mr. Thornton will make a fair judgment."
After saying that, the elderly cultivator stepped out of the room and closed the door behind him.
An enigmatic smile played across James' face. Then, the man plopped down on his seat again.
Meanwhile, the elderly cultivator had only walked several meters away from the hall when Lyla
materialized before him.
"Mr. Thornton, what did he say?"
"He's an interesting, young lad." Xachary continued walking with his hands on his back. "Make sure
that he gets enough rest here and prepare the necessary training resources for him. I wish to see him
achieve the Yuraeceon Xaelm Rank's Seventh Tribulation before going for the Forladtt Trial." Lyla
seemed completely confused.
She never thought that Xachary would have a change of heart after meeting James.
Xachary directed his gaze at Lyla. "Don't give him a hard time, Lyla. Be patient. He might take off at any
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmoment. You are to take responsibility if that happens."
"Mr. Thornton, isn't he an enemy from the Dark..."
"He's an elder from the Timaeus Sect's Mount Martialis." Xachary interrupted Lyla.
His expression hardened. "He is also the strongest and the most talented Timaeus Sect member
among his peers."
Lyla nodded despite feeling indignant. "Rest assured, Mr. Thornton. He won't be able to escape from
my formation."
"Is the formation cast around the Timaeus Sect weaker than your formation?" Xachary gazed at Lyla.
"Still, that man comes and goes as he likes since before."
Lyla was rendered speechless.
"Keep a close eye on him. If he gets away, you die." Xachary teleported away after warning her.
Lyla balled her fists. She was seething inside.
She was certain that James was up to no good judging by how he always tried to get closer to Thea.
