James could not help but chuckle inwardly. The so-called “Aunt Xitlaly" they referred to must be Xitlaly Blair. This girl possessed the Orient Force and had long reached the peak of Ninth Tribulation. Surely, she must have attained consummation by now.
It seemed her authority in the eyes of these kids was exceptionally high. Thinking about it, James said with a smile, "Let's talk about it when we get there." With a wave of his hand, James brought Jacopo and Xainte to traverse several steps using the Terrastride Step, effortlessly plunging into the Tirta Grand Formation without any strain.
As they landed, Jacopo and Xainte wore expressions of profound shock. They had not expected James to possess such Supernatural Power, capable of disregarding even the Tirta Grand Formation.

"Aunt Xitlaly..." Xainte exclaimed in alarm, hastily taking cover behind James.
Jacopo's face also changed drastically as he promptly straightened his posture, lowering his head in reverence.
Meanwhile, James fixed his gaze intensely on the white-robed fairy before him. Xitlaly, the wife of Truett and his sister-in-law. Despite the passing of many years, her elegance remained, exuding even greater divine dignity.
From her imposing aura, it was evident that she had reached the peak of Consummation Ninth Tribulation, her strength surpassing even that of Perthacus. It was clear she had not shied away from engaging in major battles over the years, as there was a strong aura of killing intent emanating from her.
"Kneel!" Xitlaly said, her face stern.
Jacopo was taken aback and quickly knelt.
Xainte, who had been hiding behind James, timidly emerged and immediately knelt as well.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCrack! Crack! Several loud consecutive sounds rang out as the whip in Xitlaly's hand swept down, landing blows on Jacopo and Xainte respectively. Instantly, their flesh split open, revealing terrifying wounds from which blood gushed out.
Enduring the intense pain, Jacopo and Xainte gritted their teeth, not uttering a word as they hastily bowed their heads.
Witnessing this scene, James was about to speak, but hgevas interrupted by Xitlaly's rebuke. "You've grown capable enough to challenge the Yggdrasil Sect? Do 9 * any idea how dangerous that is? Do you realize that Hetsema could appear at any moment and devour you?" she said Faced with her reprimand, Xainte and Jacopo looked utterly dejected but still dared not make a sound.
"Do you truly believe yourselves invincible as the disciples of Mr. Clayton and having inherited the true teachings of the Soul Seizing Sword Art?" Xitlaly's voice was tinged with anger. "Your father was once a hero of unparalleled greatness, dominating the heavens and earth, possessing the Ultimate Golden Body, having Supernatural Supremusse Power, and being unparalleled below the Quasi Daeclon Rank. Yet, he never behaved as arrogantly as you two.
"If something were to happen to you, how would | explain it to your father?" At these words, Jacopo and Xainte bowed their heads even lower, as if they had committed a grave sin.
At this moment, James coughed awkwardly. "Um..." Before he could say anything, he was glared at by the angry Xitlaly.
Xitlaly furrowed her brows. "May | ask who are you?" James uttered an acknowledgment and smiled, clasping his hands together. "I'm a friend of Yegor, named Biefren." As he said this, James pondered inwardly. It seemed that the HongrHidden Bead's disguise and the concealed aura were truly profound, as even Xitlaly failed to recognize him.
However, using Biefren's nwould have to suffice for now. After all, there were bigger matters at hand, and his true identity could not be revealed just yet.
