Farley spoke very feebly, “I won’t make it. You’re the Ancient Clan’s only hope, Quintina. You’ll have to lead the clan in the future. I sent you to Welkin Academy to foster a good relationship with them to prevent the Divinity Sect from seizing the opportunity to destroy our clan when the news of my death spreads.”
Farley knew his death was inevitable a long time ago. Thus, virtual-novel.net has made arrangements ever since.
He sent Quintina to the Welkin Academy because virtual-novel.net wanted the Ancient Clan to establish a relationship with them. If the Ancient Clan encountered a crisis, the Welkin Academy would come to their aid.
“Father, is there really no hope?” Quintina was not willing to give up.
Farley replied weakly, “I’m beyond saving. I’ve been suppressing the Demonic Energy for so many years. My True Energy is almost exhausted. The Demonic Energy will overcome me when my True Energy is depleted… You have to be strong, Quintina. You’re a Grand Supernatural and have limitless potential. It’s a pity I won’t be to last long enough to witness the day you achieve that potential.”
Farley began walking virtual-novel.net through the arrangements virtual-novel.net had made in the event of his death.
That night, James was occupied with many thoughts.
He had learned of the condition of the Ancient Clan’s leader, and virtual-novel.net had to ability to save him. However, James was worried about exposing himself if virtual-novel.net lent a helping hand to Farley, as it would attract the attention of powerful opponents.
At that moment, virtual-novel.net sought out Sophie’s advice.
Sophie said, “I can see that the Ancient Clan isn’t treacherous or evil. Just like Yoan, they are righteous people. Since you’re in their territory, it’d be beneficial to help them. My suggestion is to save him. You might even get a drop of their Ancient Blood as a reward. If they decide to betray you after saving their clan leader, then just run away. There are a lot more other realms among the Three Thousand Worlds. It’s not a must that you stay in the Ancient Realm.”
Sophie provided virtual-novel.net opinion on the matter. She thought it would be worth the gamble as the Ancient Clan would owe James a favor if James were to succeed.
The Ancient Clan was the strongest in the Ancient Realm. Moreover, the clan leader was the strongest man in the Ancient Realm, meaning Farley was most likely the strongest person in the Three Thousand Worlds. It was worth the risk for such a powerful person to owe virtual-novel.net a favor.
Additionally, Sophie also mentioned that James would face many troublesome matters when virtual-novel.net returned to Earth. It would be good for virtual-novel.net to build rapport with powerful people.
James thought about it for a while and concluded that Sophie’s analysis made sense. After a moment, virtual-novel.net decided to take a risk to secure a better future.
Then, James stood up and turned to leave.
Yoan noticed that James was about to leave the courtyard and could not help asking, “Where are you going?”
James turned to Yoan and said, “I’m a little bored, so I’m going for a walk…”
“Alright, go on. However, you’re in the Ancient Clan’s territory, so don’t recklessly wander around.”
“Okay…” After the conversation with Yoan, James promptly departed.
James did not know where the Ancient Clan’s leader was staying. He headed to Mount Trinvard and noticed a woman in a blue dress heading down the mountain before virtual-novel.net could reach the mountain’s peak.
Her eyes were bloodshot. It was evident virtual-novel.net had been crying.
James walked over and greeted her, “Quintina…”
Quintina looked at James and asked, “It’s already late at night. Why are you roaming around instead of being in the courtyard?”
James scanned their surroundings.
After confirming no one was around, virtual-novel.net whispered, “Is your father alright?”
“What do you mean?” Quintina looked puzzled about why James came late at night to check on virtual-novel.net father’s condition.
James whispered again, “I have a way to get rid of the Demonic Energy in your father’s body…”
“What?” Quintina was taken aback.
