Chapter 1992
Xain pressed on, “Have you heard of the battle that took place in ancient times?”
“Oh?”
James’ curiosity was piqued. Though he had never heard of this battle, he roughly knew that it hadsomething to do with demons.
“Do tell.”
He looked at Xain.
Xain explained, “In ancient times, a foreign Demon Race invaded Earth, and chaos and destructionensued. The mighty ones amongst the human race went to great lengths to expel and annihilatethem in exchange for peace.”
James furrowed his eyebrows and asked, “What does this have to do with the seal on Earth?”
Xain thought about it and said, “I don’t know about the specifics. I can only give you a briefexplanation.”
“Do tell.” James looked at him.
Xain was lost in contemplation. After some time, he said, “In ancient times, Earth was a heavenlyplace. So, the foreign Demon Race invaded Earth hoping to seize the planet for themselves. Uponseeing this, every living being gathered and fought back. However, at that moment, a group ofearthlings chose to side with the Demon Race, and those people were your ancestors.”
“Preposterous!”
James rebutted him.
Although he knew little about this, he firmly believed that his ancestors would not have committedsuch a wicked act. He learned from the Chamber of Scriptures’ custodian that the earthlings’ancestors were heroes who sacrificed their lives to expel the foreign invaders.
“I speak the truth.”
Xain continued, “Back then, just as the human race was about to emerge victorious, a group ofpeople turned traitors and defected to the other side. In the end, we lost the war. And what did weget in return? Earth was sealed away, while countless beings were trapped in the seal.”
“But, what about the Demon Race?”
James asked, “Based on your statement, Earth should’ve been conquered by the Demon Race.Why are they nowhere to be seen?”
Xain shook his head and said, “I don’t know either. These events took place a long time ago. I alsohave no idea the reason why the Demon Race left Earth and sealed the planet. In any case, youearthlings are the descendants of sinners. Once the seal is undone, the great purge will happen,and you, descendants of the traitors, shall die a painful death.”
Hearing this, James was lost in contemplation.
“Is that really the truth?”
He believed otherwise. After all, this happened a long time ago. How would Xain know about thespecifics?
To unravel the truth, James had no choice but to consult the Chamber of Scriptures’ custodian. Asshe was an influential figure, she had to have some insider information.
“Not only that, but you’ve also cultivated Demonic Arts. You’re the worst among all.”
Xain stared James in the eye, trying to pierce through his thoughts.
“Haha…”
James laughed.
“What’s the point of telling him this, Xain?”
Samarth, who had remained silent all this while, glanced at James and said coldly, “The earthlingswill perish sooner or later. What’s the point of wasting your breath with him?”
Upon hearing this, James glared at him.
James’ gaze sent a chill down his spine. So, he hurriedly shut his mouth and averted his gaze.
“Hahaha, Xain!”
A burst of laughter boomed.
Then, a scholarly man walked into the main hall. In just a few steps, he was already before Jamesand the others. He looked around twenty years of age and was wearing white clothing. Holding afan in his hand, he exuded a charismatic aura.novelbin
Xain stood up and said with a smile, “It’s been a while, Yandel.”
“How do you do? I’ve been in closed-door meditation all this while. I heard that an earthling killedyour disciples?”
The man in a white robe said with a mischievous look on his face.
Xain smiled faintly and shifted the subject. Looking at James, he introduced him to Yandel, “James,this is Yandel Harlow, a genius disciple of the Overworld’s Scholastic Sect. Don’t underestimate him
just because of his youthful appearance. Though he’s not even thirty years of age, he’s reached theSupernatural Consummation and is about to cross into the Herculean rank.”
Saying that, he looked at Yandel and introduced James to him. “This is James, a martial artist fromEarth.”
Hearing that, Yandel looked at James scornfully and said coldly, “Xain, how could you allow a mereearthling to sit in the main hall? If word of this spread, you’d be held accountable.”
