After a superficial analysis of the situation, James, Henry, and Delainey believed that these men in black robes were sent by the Divinity Sect to increase the difficulty level of the Grand Tournament.
“No, you’re wrong!” Another cultivator who was injured refuted their idea, saying, “These people are ruthless and cold-blooded. I saw them murder many people and drain their blood, turning them into piles of dry corpses!”
“Yes, they’re merciless! If they can’t capture you alive, they’ll simply kill you on the spot!”
Hearing this, the three froze.
Is that true?”
“Yes!” An injured cultivator nodded.
James and the others looked at one another, speechless. Then, they gathered by the bonfire.
James took a deep breath and said, “In that case, this must be a conspiracy to annihilate the hundreds of thousands of cultivators here. But why do they have to drain our blood? What are they trying to do?”
Henry and Delainey shook their heads.
Delainey asked, “What should we do next, James?”
Henry looked at James, who said after a brief contemplation, “We don’t know what they up to where those captured cultivators are confined. Our priority should be to save them as soon as possible.”
“Although this is none of our business, we can’t just sit by the sidelines and watch them die.” He looked at Henry and Delainey and said, “You should return to the Celestial Abode for now. Leave everything to
me. I’ll get to the bottom of this.”
Delainey asked anxiously, “But… Will you be fine by yourself? At least with us here, we’ll be able to help you out.”
James waved his hand slightly and said, “Too many cooks spoil the broth. I’ll be fine by myself, don’t worry. If even I can’t resolve the matter, no one can.”
Just as Delainey wanted to argue, Henry said, “We should just listen to him.”
James glanced at the injured cultivators. He could not just stand by and watch them die. However, he did not wish to reveal the secrets of the Celestial Abode
Stroking his chin, he was lost in contemplation.
After some time, he made the decision to save them. Even if the Celestial Abode’s existence was revealed, no one would dare take it from him. After all, the Celestial Abode was still guarded by powerful figures like the Spirit Tool and Sophie.
Then, James sent them into the Celestial Abode, while Henry and Delainey followed close behind.
It was night-time at the moment. As the sky was blotted out by dark clouds, everything was pitch-black. The night wind blew, and the branches of the trees in the surroundings creaked and rustled. James stood on a 100-meter-tall tree and scanned his surroundings. After confirming his directions, he leaped and flew forward.
His speed was extraordinary, and he disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Before long, he smelled the sense of blood. Then, he descended from the sky and landed steadily on the ground.
A dozen corpses were laying on an empty plot of land. Their blood had been drained, and the corpses were dry. It was evident that they died in excruciating pain.
James crouched down and inspected the corpses. As their blood was drained, only a few drops of blood could be seen on the ground.
“Huh?”
At that moment, James smelled a familiar scent.
“Demonic Energy?”
However, this Demonic Energy was slightly different from his. He could not exactly deduce what was different between them.
