CHAPTER 4556
James could not take on a powerhouse at the Caelum Acme Rank’s late stage yet. Moreover, there was no need for him to get on the Daemonium Sect’s bad side. Therefore, he greeted the elderly man with a bright smile.
The Daemonium Sect’s Guardian walked over, looked at James, and said, ‘This is the human blocking our path. If not for him, I would’ve captured Waleria long ago.”
James immediately retorted, “Where’s your conscience? I was not trying to stand in your way. I’m simply cultivating here. But your group suddenly showed up and demanded me to open the formation. I’m using this place to cultivate, so why should I open it for you?”
The Daemonium Sect’s Elder looked at James and said calmly, “Open the formation. If Waleria isn’t in there, I won’t make things difficult for you.”
‘This…” James hesitated.
He thought to himself, ‘How am I supposed to open the formation? I’m not even the one who set it up.’
Then, he turned to the formation and apologized in his heart, ‘I’m sorry. This is all I can do for you. You’re on your own.’
James had the thought of fleeing from the scene. With the Blithe Omniscience, he could easily escape.
Just when he was about to leave, the formation suddenly opened. Then, a youthful voice called out to him, “What’s the matter?”
A lady dressed in a blue dress that looked about the age of fifteen or sixteen walked out. She had fair skin and a very youthful appearance. Despite looking young, she had an excellent figure.
The girl approached James and examined the group of powerhouses from the Daemonium Sect. She quickly hid behind his back with a wary expression.
‘Who’s this? Do I know her?’ James was slightly confused.
The Daemonium Sect’s Elder stared at the young lady. He ignored her and quickly entered the formation.
Inside the formation was just an ordinary canyon, and nothing was abnormal.
The Elder came out very quickly. He stood before James and stared at the young lady in the blue dress. : owner of this content.
The young lady tightly grabbed James’ arm, seemingly afraid of him.
James said smilingly, “Sir, this is my younger sister.”
The elderly man scanned the young lady up and down but found nothing amiss.
“Let’s go,” he issued an order.
The Guardian asked puzzledly, “Elder, are we really going to withdraw now? There is definitely something wrong with this young lady. She must be Waleria under disguise. Waleria is an exceptional cultivator. She must’ve changed her appearance and aura to try to deceive us. I think we should bring her back and strictly interrogate her.”
Hearing this, the Elder cast another glance at James and the younger lady. However, he did not find anything unusual about them.
He said, “I don’t sense Waleria’s aura. It’s not her. Plus, they are not from the Theos Sect.”
Since the Elder had already given his order, the Guardian no longer insisted and left with his subordinates. Soon, all the powerhouses from the Daemonium Sect were gone.
The young lady immediately let go of James’ arm.
James looked at her and asked puzzledly, “Are you Waleria from the Theos Sect?”
The young lady looked at James and smiled, revealing her shallow dimples. Then, she replied, “Waleria is already dead. My name is Madenia Naiat.”
“Is that so?” James looked at her suspiciously.
Madenia pouted and said, “How could I possibly be Waleria? She’s a famous powerhouse of the Theos Sect. I’m nothing compared to her.”
James doubted her words.
