Female Novel
Chapter 2321
Since James’ Demonic Body was no longer a secret, he narrated the events that unfolded in front ofeveryone.
“The Demon Race went to great lengths to resurrect someone called Lucifer Menachem. Do youknow who he is?”
The Welkin Academy’s headmaster stepped forward and said, “Tell us what you know, James.Justice and truth will prevail in the end.”
“Understood, Headmaster.” James continued, “Lucifer Menachem is the only blood kin of theDemon Emperor in ancient times. During that battle long ago, he foresaw his own death. So, hesealed away his descendant in Mount Walvern. Mount Walvern has always reeked of DemonicEnergy. Anyone who has been there before knows of this. The Demon Race’s Protector said that helearned an ancient arcane art, but he required the blood of many distinguished cultivators to undothe seal left behind by the Demon Emperor.
“I have no idea why the Grand Tournament was held at Mount Walvern. Someone must havearranged for this. I also feel that someone must have come to an agreement with the Demon Raceto resurrect Lucifer Menachem. After learning that many cultivators had been captured, I used myDemonic Body to infiltrate the Demon Race camp. There, I saw them slaughtering the cultivatorsand extracting their blood with my own eyes.
“Though I could simply turn a blind eye to this, I couldn’t sit by the sidelines as innocent people losttheir lives. At the pivotal moment, I stepped forward and presented my token, putting an end to thesenseless slaughter. I used my Demonic Energy to release the seal and resurrect Lucifer to saveeveryone. Only then did the Demon Race retreat. However, to prevent my identity from beingexposed, I only returned to save the cultivators after a day passed.”
James narrated the whole truth.
“This is the whole truth. Though I have a Demonic Body, I am not a member of the Demon Race. Icould simply command every member of the Demon Race in the Ancient Realm with my tokenalone, yet I didn’t do such a thing.
“I am a human. Every moment of my existence, I live to protect humans. Back then at the AncientClan, all of you would have perished if I hadn’t risked my life. As for the reason why Mount Walvernwas selected as the Grand Tournament’s location, I’m afraid the Divinity Sect’s Patriarch owes usan explanation.”
James pointed at the Divine Holy Emperor, who had already taken his seat.novelbin
The Welkin Academy’s headmaster stepped forward and looked at him, saying, “Holy Emperor,James has told us everything he knew. Though he possesses a Demonic Body, he saved our livestime and again. I’m afraid you still owe us an explanation about the location of the GrandTournament.”
“Explanation?” The Divine Holy Emperor smiled faintly and said, “What’s the point of that? Now thatit has come to this, I don’t think anyone’s going to believe what I have to say. In that case, I’d ratheradmit to my deeds.”
He stood up.
“That’s right. It was me.
“I cooperated with Marquis Tenzin to resurrect Lucifer in exchange for the Demon Race’s supremecultivation method.”
Hearing this, the crowd was stunned. Many brandished their swords immediately.
“I knew it!”
“You despicable villain! You’ll pay for my disciples’ life!”
Someone brandished their sword and charged toward the Divine Holy Emperor. In the blink of aneye, he appeared before him and discharged a powerful wave of Sword Energy.
This was a cultivator who had reached the Sage Rank. However, as he had only recently reachedthe Sage Rank, he stood no chance against the Divine Holy Emperor. As the latter’s sleeves waved,powerful True Essence materialized and blocked the attack. At the same time, he sent the attackerflying, who collapsed to the ground and vomited a mouthful of blood.
“Marquis, I’ll die if you don’t show up now!” the Divine Holy Emperor roared.
“Heehee…”
An eerie laughter reverberated throughout the hall.
