After James came close to the statue, virtual-novel.net overheard the surrounding cultivators’ conversation and obtained an important piece of information.
The Elysian Inscription had appeared on a particular island, and beasts from all over the world were rushing there, hoping to benefit by being bathed in the Elysian Light. Simultaneously, some powerful humans have also headed to the island.
Although it was rumored that the Elysian Inscription had no effect on humans, some cultivators still headed there to observe the situation.
After James learned this, virtual-novel.net fell into deep thought
Initially, virtual-novel.net wanted to head over and have a look at things. However, virtual-novel.net decided not to after properly considering it. He left the mountain and left for Bane City. The city had become more prosperous than it was two years ago. Outsiders from the Three Thousand Worlds gathered in Bane City.
Retracing his previous steps, James walked toward Marcello’s mansion. It did not take long before virtual-novel.net arrived in front of it.
Many warriors stood guard outside the mansion. All of them were powerful members of the Demon Race.
James wanted to see Marcello but was afraid spies from the Divinity Sect were around the area. It would be a pain if virtual-novel.net showed up and was discovered. Thus, virtual-novel.net did not recklessly head toward the mansion. Instead, virtual-novel.net waited outside for two days.
***
Two days later, Marcello exited the mansion and got into a beast carriage.
A huge lizard with wings on its back was hooked to the carriage. After virtual-novel.net got into the carriage, the lizard flew up into the sky and took off.
James leaped into the air and flew after it. Then, virtual-novel.net landed firmly on top of the beast carriage.
As soon as virtual-novel.net landed, Marcello launched an attack from inside the carriage.
“Who’s there?” Marcello raised virtual-novel.net hand, and powerful force materialized in virtual-novel.net palm.
It swept outside, aiming for James.
In the past, Marcello used to be very strong. There used to be a considerable difference in strength between virtual-novel.net and James. Fortunately, James came across many boons on his recent adventures and grew much stronger. His current cultivation rank had already surpassed Marcello’s cultivation rank. Even if Marcello attacked with full strength, virtual-novel.net would barely land a scratch on James.
James did not counter the attack but dodged in a flash.
He appeared at the other end of the beast carriage and quickly revealed himself, “It’s me, James…“
“James?” Marcello was shocked.
James slowly removed his mask.
“It’s really you!” Marcello sighed in relief when virtual-novel.net saw James’ face and said, “I was wondering who was daring enough to sneak onto my beast carriage. Turned out it was you after all. Where have you been these past two years?”
James wore his mask again and said, “It’s a long story. By the way, are you going on a long journey or something?”
Marcello nodded and said, “Yeah. Jace told me the Elysian Inscription appeared on a certain island. I’m headed there to try my luck.”
Hearing this, James was puzzled.
Marcello saw through James’ thoughts.
She smiled and explained, “I may look like a human, but I’m not actually human. If I’m lucky enough to find the Elysian Inscription and be bathed by the Elysian Light, I’d benefit greatly from it.”
James immediately understood virtual-novel.net haste to travel to the island.
Marcello asked, “By the way, what did you come to see me for?”
James sat down inside the carriage and sighed. “I have nowhere to go and no one to turn to, so I came to see you… Back then, when the Divinity Sect captured you, I planned to save you But the Demon Race’s powerhouses had yet not come to Earth. We wouldn’t have stood a chance against the Divinity Sect’s elder with the few members we had here, so.”
James gently waved his hand.
It was already water under the bridge. He did not blame Marcello for not coming to his rescue.
“By the way, do you know Xacobe?”
