Leaders from across the Jademora Empire quickly gathered in the Nirvana Palace.Unfortunately, the atmosphere was not a joyous occasion. Instead, it was tense and worrisome. Everyone had a solemn expression, knowing full well what the Divine Bell’s chimes meant.After a while, Maxine suddenly spoke from amongst the crowd.“What’s going on with Lyla? She rang the Divine Bell but didn’t show up. What is the meaning of this?”Hershya quickly pulled her sleeves, warning her not to speak any further. However, following Maxine’s complaints, a few of the Dark World’s important figures began to stir as well.“Is the Left Grand Lord playing with us? The Divine Bell shouldn’t be rung for nothing.”“She always makes a big deal out of nothing. Doing all these unnecessary things just to prove her authority.”“We have so much to do. Who has the leisure to play along with her games?”“If there isn’t a good reason why she rang the bell, I won’t go easy on her.”“Our Right Grand Lord is much b
Meanwhile, the group that came from the Dark Realm, headed by Maxine, supported Rebella. The Jademora Empire seemed calm on the surface, but a storm was brewing from within it. It was a dynamite that could explode at any time.At that moment, it seemed like their conflict was about to finally explode. Once the Jademora Empire fell into internal strife, the Tai Chi’s hounds would take advantage of it and it would be a recipe for disaster.Anxious, Xatia was about to intervene. However, she finally saw Lyla, Winnie, and Noel, ascending the hall’s highest platform.As soon as Lyla appeared, the two factions put a half to their fight and the hall fell into silence.Lyla stood at the highest platform and looked at everyone coldly. She had heard their quarrels just moments ago.Faced with her silence, the Jademora Empire’s core members felt shivers down their spines. Those who were sensible silently returned to the crowd.The group of elders from the two sects that supported Lyla sno
Lyla put her hands behind her back and said, “I didn’t really intend to explain anything since there was no need to. However, it seems it’s necessary right now. It’s not that I want to, but some people need to hear it.”Everyone raised their heads, looking at Lyla with complicated expressions.She continued, “All of you participated in the battle to conquer the Xyndaros Genesis World and Sanctum Genesis World. In that battle, many of us were severely injured. Adair and Wylie died in battle. Xitlaly was also badly injured. The Solstice Alliance had about six hundred casualties of members at the peak of the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank’s Ninth Tribulation. If not for Truett’s desperate attempts to protect us, we would’ve been completely wiped out. We would not have lived to see today.“Yet, we have no idea whether he is still alive. Moreover, we lost our only passage to the Iusus Sect, Skynet, and the Dark World.”Everyone lowered their head at the reminder. They had personally experienced
Over time, she gained the reputation as someone who was oppressive and had no care for James’ life or death, wanting to seize the Jademora Empire for herself.”Now, they realized she had done everything for their safety. Even Rebella would not stand a chance against a powerhouse at the Xaeclon Rank.The hall fell into complete silence.Lyla sighed, and said, “I’ve already said what I needed to. As for how you think about me or doubt me, it doesn’t matter. I quit, and can finally take a break!”After speaking, Lyla waved her hand and shouted, “Noel, Winnie. Let’s go. We should concentrate on cultivating.”Lyla led the two siblings down the platform and walked away under everyone’s startled gazes.“Why?! Why didn’t you tell us earlier? Why wait till now?” Rebella shouted with a despairful expression.“Because just like you, I have a dream and firmly believe in our emperor. I know he’ll come back. If I were to say this in advance and shake our morale, it’ll be basically sentencing
Lyla’s departure was a blow to all the powerhouses of the Jademora Empire in the main hall. She didn’t even allow them to feel regret and guilt.“It’s their fault,” Yancy suddenly got up and roared, “Without the protection of the Left Grand Lord, will you, Maxine, Talvelai, Xezal, be who you are today? If the Left Grand Lord didn’t risk her life to break into the Elixir Vault of Timaeus Sect and get countless high-ranking elixirs, could you guys reach the Quasi Daeclon Rank and the peak of the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank’s Ninth Tribulation?”“Enough.” Xatia stood up and said angrily, “Why are you guys still arguing at this time? We need to find a way to get back the Left Grand Lord.”Upon hearing Xatia’s words, Taran and Jurryt kneeling on the ground quickly got up.“Yeah. The Left Grand Lord is entrusted by His Majesty. She won’t leave the Forladtt Land easily. We must think of a way to make up for it,” said Taran.”“You guys are too young and impulsive. That’s why the situation reache
It must be a trap. Did the Left Grand Lord set up this trap long ago?She must have known that the Emperor had returned, so she set up this situation to bait them. She wanted the Emperor to see what kind of living beings they were.“Aren’t you guys going to continue the discussion?” James pursed his lips. “Since you guys aren’t going to talk, let me.”Everyone was taken aback. Then, their expressions became stern.Yancy knelt on the ground at James excitedly. “Welcome back, Your Majesty.”Then, the crowd who were stunned immediately knelt on the ground. They shouted excitedly, “Welcome back, Your Majesty.”Seeing that everyone had knelt on the ground, Rebella hurriedly wiped away her tears and knelt at James.“What are you guys doing?” James said impolitely, “Who started with the Your Majesty thing? It sounds so bad.”Everyone exchanged glances. Then, they turned to look at Rebella.Rebella raised her head fearfully. “I’m the one who started it, Master!”“Great.” James looked
At this time, Hershya stood forward. “Mr. Caden, there are two powerhouses in the Xaeclon Rank outside. They can defeat us easily.”“That’s right.” Talvelai quickly nodded. “I don’t think it’s a wise choice to go out right now.”Upon hearing their words, everyone else nodded in agreement.“They’re only in the Xaeclon Rank.” Suddenly, James raised his voice and smiled. “You guys can do anything. They’re nothing before you guys. You can use your passion, courage, and mouth to defeat them in minutes. Even if Tai Chi comes, you guys can annihilate him easily, let alone two powerhouses at the Xaeclon Rank.”Everyone was at a loss for words.They realized that James was punishing them for making the Left Grand Lord, Lyla, leave. The punishment made them feel guilty and uncomfortable. They felt fear too.They preferred James to vent his anger at them, get angry and reprimand them. It would be better even if he beat them up with a stick. But now…At this moment, Rebella raised her head.
At once, Xatia was stunned.With his hands behind his back, James took two steps forward and said, “The living beings of the Jademora Empire were chosen from the Dark World. They’re talented and have potential. They have determination too. As long as they have enough cultivation resources, they can become successful. It’s just a matter of time.“But before they came to the Forladtt Land, they had been rulers of a part of the Dark World. Thus, they have their own temperament. They aren’t arrogant. They just can’t be tamed. They are proud of themselves.”At that, James glanced at Xatia. “During this time, you must have experienced it, right?”Xatia was taken aback. Then, she sighed and nodded. “It’s true that it’s hard to control them. However, in front of huge affairs, especially in battle, they are very united and courageous.”“This is their strength.” James said, “It isn’t enough to only have unity and courage. They need to see the big picture and be magnanimous. In this way, the
