Female Novel
Chapter 2265
Marquis did not recognize the person sitting on the black lotus.
However, he could sense that the black lotus had a unique aura—Pure Demonic Energy.
The token was also extraordinary. It felt like he was up against a powerful demon.
Thus, he did not dare question James’ order and ordered his army to retreat.
Following his order, his troops quickly withdrew from the area.
The Ancient Realm’s powerhouses stood with their jaws agape.
They would have died today if not for the mysterious person that had shown up.
“Who’s this person?”
“Why did he save us?”
Everyone was puzzled.
After Marquis retreated with his army, James also left. After leaving the Ancient Clan’s territory, hechanged back into his previous clothes and returned to the area.
When he reached back to the scene of the commotion, Farley had already dispelled the seal on hiscultivation base and was helping the others.
As soon as James appeared, Yoan asked, “Where did you go, James? I’ve been lookingeverywhere for you.”
James said, “I-I was so overwhelmed by everything. I just only managed to recover from the shockof it all.”
“Everything’s alright. It’s over,” Yoan comforted him.
Afterward, Farley began to record the number of casualties.
This time, the Ancient Clan suffered heavy losses, and many of their younger members died fromthe Curse Magic.
The Ancient Clan began to deal with the battle’s aftermath.
James and the others temporarily continued their stay in the Ancient Clan’s territory.
They stayed for 20 additional days.
20 days later, the Ancient Clan finally recovered from the battle’s aftermath.
Farley and Quintina walked side by side in the back mountain of Mount Trinvard.
“How did you recover, Father?”
The question had been on her mind for the past 20 days. However, she never had the chance toask because Farley was swamped with various affairs.
Finally, he had some free time today.
Farley had promised James he would not disclose his identity. He was only alive because of James’help. However, before he could completely recover his strength, he acted recklessly against hisopponents.
This led to countless tragic deaths of the Ancient Clan’s members.
Farley dodged Quintina’s question and asked, “Have all the powerhouses from the other sects left?”
Quintina nodded and said, “Yeah. The powerhouses attending the memorial service have graduallytaken their leave. Only a few people are still around, including the Divine Holy Emperor, the InfernalEmperor, Emperor Tamerlan, and some others that brought disciples to participate in thecompetition for a spot to enter the Pagoda of Flames. Since the Pagoda of Flames isn’t open yet,it’s unlikely they’ll leave anytime soon.”
“Where’s James?” asked Farley.
“He… Should still be around.” Quintina was slightly taken aback and puzzled by why her fathersuddenly brought James up.
Farley looked at Quintina and said, “You’re not young anymore, Quintina. It’s time you get married.What’s your ideal type? I’ll help you find a partner.”
Quintina’s pretty face was slightly flushed as she replied, “I-It’s still too early for me. I want to focuson my cultivation for now. I don’t want to be distracted by other things yet.”
“What do you think of James?” asked Farley.novelbin
“James?” Quintina was slightly caught off guard.
After some contemplation, she replied, “He seems pretty decent. He’s a body refinement cultivator.Although he’s young, he has very formidable physical strength. Refining one’s body is much harderthan cultivating True Energy. If he also cultivates True Energy, he must be much stronger than he leton.”
“How about choosing him as your partner?”
“Father! What’re you talking about?”
Quintina’s cheeks were as red as a tomato.
“Haha, I’m just making a suggestion. You can go after whoever you like. I won’t interfere.” Farleysmiled.
Although Farley found James a rather good prospect and was optimistic about him, it was stillQuitina’s personal affairs. He did not want to interfere too much with his daughter’s right to choose.
“Father, what do you find so good about James? Was he the one who saved you?” Quintina askedwith suspicion.
Farley said with a smile, “How could he? I was infected by Curse Magic. Even I myself couldn’tsuppress the Demonic Energy in my body. How could he possibly be able to? Never mind. Goinform Elder Thoryn to open the Pagoda of Flames tomorrow.”
