Meanwhile, at the closed-door meditation sanctuary of the Divine Holy Emperor…
The sanctuary was a concealed underground building full of black granites. On the ground sat a man wearing a black robe, whose face was pale and devoid of color.
Creak…
At that moment, the door opened, and the Divine Holy Emperor walked on.
The man in the black robe looked at him and asked, “How did it go?”
The Divine Holy Emperor said, “I’ve sent everyone to Mount Walvern.”
“Very good.”
Overjoyed, the man said, “Finally, there’s hope for Lucifer Menachem to be resurrected.”
The Divine Holy Emperor said, “I don’t care what you’re up to, Marquis Tenzin, but since I’ve done everything you’ve requested of me, when do you plan to hold up your end of the bargain?”
The man before him was none other than Marquis Tenzin, who had been forced to retreat by James at the Ancient Clan.
A smile crept up on Marquis’ face as he said, “Don’t worry. I’ll keep my promise once Lucifer is resurrected.”
The Divine Holy Emperor asked, “Who’s Lucifer?”
Marquis said, “He’s a descendant of a powerful guy of the Demon Race who was besieged and annihilated by the human race in ancient times. Lucifer perished right there on Mount Walvern. Well, he’s not exactly dead, to be precise. He was merely sealed away. To resurrect him, we need to break the seal using the blood of cultivators.”
Hearing this, the Divine Holy Emperor’s expression remained unchanged as he asked coldly, ” Does that mean that everyone heading to Mount Walvern will die?”
“Yes.”
Marquis said, “We’ll use their blood to wake Lucifer from his slumber.”
The Divine Holy Emperor furrowed his eyebrows and said, “I couldn’t care less about anyone else, but my disciple, Harold Marcello, must be spared. He’s a Grand Supernatural who knows many Supernatural Powers. Once nurtured, he would be a terrifying cultivator. I don’t want him to die.”
“Rest at ease.”
Marquis waved his hand slightly and said, “None of the Divinity Sect’s disciples will die. However, I can’t say the same for everyone else.”
The Divine Holy Emperor contemplated for some time before saying, “I don’t want to arouse any suspicion. Apart from Harold, feel free to kill my other disciples. However, you’ll have to escort Harold to safety in secret.”
“Of course…” Marquis nodded.
Intrigued, the Divine Holy Emperor asked, “Is Lucifer that powerful? Is he worth so many lives?”
“Extremely.”
Marquis said, “He’s a member of the Demon Dragon Race and possesses unrivaled physical strength. Though his rank is low, he has enormous potential. If everything goes as planned, he’ll surely be the most powerful individual in the world.
“He’s someone the higher-ups demand to resurrect at any cost.”
Hearing this, the Divine Holy Emperor said nothing and turned to leave.
After he left, the door closed once more.
No one knew that the Divine Holy Emperor had colluded with outsiders to sacrifice the lives of countless disciples on Mount Walvern for the sake of resurrecting a genius of ancient times. The participants in the Grand Tournament continued traversing through Mount Walvern in search of monsters to annihilate.
Naturally, James knew nothing of this too.
At that moment, he, Henry, and Delainey had reached the depths of Mount Walvern. The trees around them were shriveled, and they were no signs of life at all.
“Something’s not quite right, James,” Scanning his surroundings, Henry said.
“It’s Demonic Energy.”
James frowned.
As he possessed Demonic Energy, he was particularly acute to its presence. At that moment, he could sense that there was powerful Demonic Energy in his vicinity.
