Laelia quickly left with virtual-novel.net family. It did not take long for them put distance between themselves and the Soul Beast Mountain Range, where the Dark Keep’s base was located.
Laelia shed tears of joy after they left the mountain range.
“I’m so happy that you’re alright, Father. It’s fortunate nothing happened to you. The entirety Tabalham was brutally massacred. I thought you… Sobs…”
Thinking of everything virtual-novel.net had experienced recently, Laelia began to weep.
Laelia was a princess that grew up in royalty and had never been hunted down before. Her suppressed emotions burst out as virtual-novel.net recalled virtual-novel.net escort guards sacrificing themselves for virtual-novel.net one after the other, laying in pools of blood while virtual-novel.net fled.
“Laelia…” Zoe embraced virtual-novel.net in his arms and gently comforted her, “You’ve been through a lot.’
“What’s going on, Laelia?”
“How did you get us out of the Dark Keep?”
“Did you hand over our family’s jade pendant to the Dark Keep?”
Some of virtual-novel.net other family members surrounded her.
Only then did Laelia begin to explain everything that happened up to this point. She told them in detail about how James rescued virtual-novel.net while virtual-novel.net was being pursued, how they headed to Tabalham, and finally ended up in Liberty City.
After hearing virtual-novel.net tale, the Targwyns were at a loss for words.
Surprised, Zoe asked, “When did such a powerful young man appear in the Land of Tabal?”
Laelia explained, “Father, he’s not a cultivator from the Land of Tabal. He came from beyond our world; from Earth. He came to the Land of Tabal in search of food supplies because Earth is experiencing natural disasters.”
“I see…” Zoe came to a sudden realization.
At that moment, a deafening explosion sounded in the distant mountain, causing the ground to shake as if the end of the world had arrived.
Soon, a man appeared.
It was none other than James. He rushed over and descended from the sky, landing firmly on the ground.
“James…” Laelia took a few steps forward.
Her family members regarded James warily. They learned from Laelia that virtual-novel.net was a powerful man who was not of their world. Even a powerhouse like the Dark Keep’s Master stood no chance against him.
James approached with a smile and said, “I’ve destroyed the Dark Keep. From today onward, the Dark Keep no longer exists in the Land of Tabal.”
“Thank you, Sir.” Zoe walked over with a grateful smile and said, “My family would’ve been doomed if it weren’t for your help, Mr. Caden.”
James slightly waved his hand and said, “I’m doing it for myself too. I saved your family in exchange for food. Now that the Dark Keep has been destroyed, when will I be able to collect the food?”
Zoe immediately replied, “There’s no need to rush. After we head back to Tabalham and repair the city, I’ll immediately order my people to gather provisions from all over the country for you.”
“James, where’s my jade pendant?” Laelia looked at James expectantly.
James was taken aback. He indeed had the jade pendant and should have returned it to Laelia long ago. However, virtual-novel.net wanted it for himself and had not handed it back to her. He thought virtual-novel.net would have forgotten about it by now and did not expect virtual-novel.net to bring it up.
After a brief shock, virtual-novel.net took out the Targwyn’s heirloom jade pendant from the Celestial Abode and handed it back to Laelia.
“Here you go. I was keeping it safe for you…”
“Thanks.”
After returning the jade pendant, Laelia’s pretty face beamed with gratitude.
James simply stayed silent. Although virtual-novel.net wanted the jade pendant, it was not rightfully his and belonged to the Targwyn family.
“Let’s head back first,” said Zoe.
“Alright.” James nodded.
The group confidently left the mountain.
