During this time, | didn't slack off in the Capital and was completely focused on cultivation. I'm already in the fifth ranknow.”James had assessed the strength of Thea's True Energy.It was in the fifth rank and almost in the sixth rank.It was indeed very powerful.However, compared to the Celestial Sect's Sect Leader, it was not even close.With this kind of power, she would not even be able to defend herself from a single attack from Lucjan, much less defeat Lucjanand the first Blood Emperor.“Hmm. Not bad. | didn’t expect you to be a cultivation genius,” James said, beaming with praise. “You've only been practicingmartial arts for a short time, but you've already risen to the fifth rank.”James was certain that the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect was not Thea based on his assessment.Despite the fact that all signs pointed to Thea as the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect, the difference in strength between the twowas too great.Since it was not her, who exactly was the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect then?James took a deep breath.Quickly dismissing the jumble of thoughts swirling through his mind, he said, “I'm going to the Cadens' Mansion for a while to askMaxine about some stuff.”“Alright.” Thea nodded and said, “Come back sooner.

Please don't spill anything...”She briefly explained what had happened.“Noted.”With assurance, Maxine said, “I most certainly will not expose your identity.”She hung up after she said that.Once she ended the call, she waited for a while at the Cadens’ Mansion.About thirty minutes went by and James showed up.In the reception hall of the Cadens’ mansion...Maxine smiled and said, “James, was it a success at Durandal?”“Yes.” James nodded and said, “It was alright. Where's the Malevolent Sword, by the way?”“Why are you suddenly asking about the Malevolent Sword?” Maxine glanced at James and said, “I believe it's an evil sword, so |went to Thea and asked her to give it to me. | wanted to destroy the sword, but no matter what | tried, | couldn't destroy it. So, |threw it away.”“Where did you throw it away?”James looked at Maxine.“Somewhere wild and secluded, of course,” Maxine said, seeing James" serious expression.“Really?” James was a little skeptical.novelbin
