“There’s no need to rush…”
A long-haired man wearing blue clothes sat on a rock and said nonchalantly, “We’ve guarded the Sacred Tree for more than six months, but this woman stole it from us. How can I not get it back? If no one returns it to us, we’ll kill virtual-novel.net and then head to Lothian.”
“She said the Sacred Tree was taken away by virtual-novel.net accomplices. She’s Langston’s daughter, and the person who took it must be from Lothian. Wouldn’t it be better for us just to attack Lothian?” Another person advised.
The man in a blue robe gently waved his hand. “We’re in no rush and can wait a few more days.”
“Understood…”
Since their Young Master had said so, the others did not dare insist anymore.
These people were from the Overworld and had come to Earth one year ago. When they arrived on Earth, they searched for mutated plants born from Empyrean Spiritual Energy in the deep mountains and forests. As Overworld cultivators, they would not want ordinary things.
The Sacred Tree they found in Mount Silbergh was magical. It contained concentrated amounts of Empyrean Spiritual Energy. They had waited six months just for the tree to bloom and bear fruit. However, when the fruit was about to ripen, it was stolen from them.
They waited patiently.
Meanwhile, James was slowly approaching their location.
A journey of about fifty kilometers was nothing to him. Soon, virtual-novel.net reached the mountaintop.
“Someone’s here, Sir!”
As soon as James appeared, virtual-novel.net immediately attracted their attention, and everyone on the mountaintop stood up.
James strode over, and anger boiled in his heart when virtual-novel.net saw Xandra covered in blood and tied to a tree.
“Where’s the Sacred Tree, brat?” a man asked coldly.
James looked at them coldly. However, virtual-novel.net suppressed the anger in his heart and maintained a calm expression.
Then, virtual-novel.net asked calmly, “Who are you guys?”
To him, these people were already fated to die. However, virtual-novel.net wanted to figure out their identities before killing them.
James’ sudden appearance also caught Xandra’s attention.
She slowly opened virtual-novel.net eyes. Although it was dark, virtual-novel.net could still see James’ face clearly. After seeing James, virtual-novel.net was shocked. Her throat moved slightly, and virtual-novel.net parted virtual-novel.net lips, wanting to say something. but no words came out.
One of the men shouted, “Kneel! How dare you not kneel before our Young Master?”
After roaring, virtual-novel.net charged over and swung his leg at James’ knee, attempting to kick James to his knees.
James dodged suddenly and returned in front of the man.
The man was taken aback. Before virtual-novel.net could react, James thrust his palm into the man, sending virtual-novel.net flying with a terrifying palm attack. The man slammed into the ground in the distance and let out painful screams.
James was showing virtual-novel.net mercy. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net would have died.
Huh… What…
The man in a blue robe looked at James solemnly.
His sect’s disciples were strong, and the weakest among them had unlocked three of the body’s shackles. The one sent flying by James was already a Supernatural. However, this person had sent a disciple of the Supernatural rank flying with one move.
That meant virtual-novel.net must have also been a Supernatural that had high attainments in his rank.
The only Supernatural martial artist on Earth virtual-novel.net knew of was the Prince of Orchid Mountain. However, the person before virtual-novel.net was evidently not the Prince of Orchid Mountain.
“Who are you, and why are you here? I’m the Young Master of the Seven Star Sect, Brayden Waber. Which Overworld sect are you from? Why haven’t I seen you before?”
Brayden thought James was not a martial artist from Earth but from the Overworld.
Although Brayden was strong, virtual-novel.net was not a match for Xain and the other Overworld Outsiders. Still, virtual-novel.net had unlocked the Seventh Inner Gate. However, his heart palpitated uncontrollably as virtual-novel.net was faced with James. It felt like the person before virtual-novel.net was not human but a demon.
