CHAPTER 4049

Previously, the Ursas had taught their Signature Power to the Omnipotent Lord’s subordinates.

James never expected to land himself in a situation where he needed their powers.

"What a pain in the *ss."

James rubbed his temples frustratedly, then turned to Dahlia.

"I think we need to consult your sect leader on this matter."

"He won't help you.When the sect was founded, he made a rule forbidding our members to rescue members who were taken captive by the enemy.This was to prevent unnecessary sacrifice that would result from a rescue mission," said Dahlia as she shook her head.

Since Dahlia insisted she could not bring him to meet the leader of the Heaven-Eradicating Sect, James had no choice but to do things on his own.

However, rescuing Karglain and the others was not going to be an easy job.

Even entering the Hopeless City was a problem, let alone trying to rescue them.

James sat on a boulder on the mountaintop and stared at the Hopeless City in the distance. All rights © .

After a while, James asked, "How strong is the Hopeless City?"

Dahlia replied, "It's one of the Soul Race’s primary cities.Their City Lord is Hutchin Halpin.He’s from the Soul Race’s royal family and is also an elder.He’s extremely formidable and has surpassed the Macrocosm Ancestral God Rank.He's a Quasi Acmean.

"There are many powerhouses in the Hopeless City.As far as I know, there are three Quasi Acmeans and several Nine- Power Macrocosm Ancestral Gods."

Dahlia shared what she knew with James.

Hearing how strong the Hopeless City was did nothing to assuage James’ worries.

At the moment, he was only able to take on Nine- Power Macrocosm Ancestral Gods.He stood almost no chance against a Quasi Acmean.

Unfortunately, there were three of them in the Hopeless City.

"To rescue your kin, we'll need to devise a plan to outsmart these people," James decided.

He thought for a brief moment and said, "Tell me your contacts inside the Hopeless City.I'll try to sneak in and figure out the situation from there.You need to stay right here.If I get caught, don’t worry about me and escape at the first sign of trouble.I'll find my own way to escape."

Dahlia looked at James with a serious expression.

Then, she said, "Our sect has many intelligence agents, but they’re not that strong.

Most of them work as servants in the mansions of major families or are cleaners in brothels.

"To contact our intelligence personnel, you'll need a code.Each of them is trained by a different person and they all have different codes."I don’t know who the intelligence personnel inside the Hopeless City are, but I know there are a few of them there.The secret code is for you to ask them ‘Do you want a man? *.If they're one of ours, they'll reply that question affirmatively."

James looked at Dahlia and chuckled.

Dahlia blushed and burst out, "What's so funny?!"

"N-Nothing."

James composed himself and asked, "Who are your contacts? I'll find a way to enter the city, get in touch with them, and investigate the current situation in the Hopeless City."

"Their names are..."

Dahlia listed the names of all the intelligence personnel from theHeaven-Eradicating Sect posted in the Hopeless City.

"Alright, got it."

After James learned their identities, he immediately stood up and reminded Dahlia, "Remember what I told you.Leave right away if I get captured."

After speaking, he turned and headed off.

"Wait," Dahlia called out to him.

"Yeah?"

James turned around and looked at her.

Dahlia said, "My contacts are all working in dismal conditions.Please be careful when contacting them, and avoid situations that will expose their identities at all costs.Once their identities are exposed, it's over for them."

"Alright.I understand."

James nodded, then disappeared from the mountaintop in the next moment.
