Chapter 2317
Quintina could not understand what had happened. Not only that, but no one else understood iteither. However, as they had only just narrowly escaped certain death, they could not care lessabout the details.
Though there were about 100,000 participants at the beginning of the Grand Tournament, a thirdhad perished. The survivors gathered outside Mount Walvern for the tournament to come to an end.Once the passage appeared, they would immediately return to the Divinity Sect.
James, too, no longer went after monsters. Instead, he waited patiently alongside everyone else.Regardless, he did not disregard his cultivation and began absorbing Empyrean Spiritual Energy inearnest.
A month had passed in the blink of an eye, and the passage reappeared in the sky once more.
“It’s here!”
“The passage has appeared!”
Everyone stood up and leaped into the air, entering the void passage. After traversing the passage,they arrived outside the main hall of the Divinity Sect’s main peak.
Upon seeing the participants return, the Divine Holy Emperor furrowed his eyebrows and murmuredpuzzledly, “What the hell? Why are there still so many of them left?”
However, he remained silent.
The others also noticed that the participants’ numbers had dwindled.
“What’s going on? Why are there fewer of them now?” someone asked.
Harold, the Divine Holy Emperor’s disciple stepped forward.
Though the Divine Holy Emperor knew what had transpired, he feigned ignorance as he asked,“Harold, what happened? Why are there fewer of you?”
Harold clasped his fists and said, “Master, while we were going after monsters on Mount Walvern…”
He narrated the events that unfolded.
Hearing this, everyone exclaimed, “What?”
The Welkin Academy’s headmaster was enraged and roared, “The Demon Race’s Fangs havepushed this too far! They knew that the Grand Tournament was held at Mount Walvern. That’s whythey sent men after our cultivators!”
At that moment, Quintina stepped forward and said, “Master, the Demon Race seemed to beplotting some sort of conspiracy. I overheard a conversation between a Demon Race’s Protectorand the man who appeared at the Ancient Clan with the black token. It appears that they're trying toresurrect a guy named Lucifer Menachem. However, I have no idea why the Demon Race retreatedall of a sudden.”
She narrated the chain of events. She also mentioned James.
“James!” The Divine Holy Emperor shouted.
James emerged from the crowd and looked at the Divine Holy Emperor before him. He alreadysuspected him as the Divinity Sect was the one that chose the location of the Grand Tournament.Did they not screen through the place before making their decision?
However, he remained silent.
He spoke, “Holy Emperor.”
The Divine Holy Emperor questioned, “What happened exactly?”
James answered, “I came across a group of cultivators who were being pursued and saved them.That’s when I learned that the Demon Race was capturing people everywhere. So, I begansearching for the cultivators who were being imprisoned. By the time I found them, the Demon Racehad already left. I don’t know what happened either.”
Hearing this, the Divine Holy Emperor furrowed his eyebrows.
Then, the Welkin Academy’s headmaster stepped forward and said, “Alright now, you’re dismissed.”
The participants of the Grand Tournament turned to leave.
Meanwhile, the powerful figures of the Ancient Realm gathered to discuss the matter.
In the Divinity Sect’s main hall, the Welkin Academy’s headmaster roared, “The Demon Race haspushed this too far! First, they appeared at the Ancient Clan. Now, they’ve made a move againstcultivators from all over the world. We can’t just sit around this time. We have to band together anddeal a heavy blow to them.”novelbin
