James and Callan left Divine Sword Villa together and entered the dense forest.
Outside Divine Sword Villa, James sat on a rock in an open space in the virgin forest.
He took out a cigarette, threw one to Callan, and asked, “What’s the situation on your side?”
After Callan took the cigarette, his expression gradually became solemn.
He said, “I was brought to the place where the sword was forged and got to see the legendary sword. However, my goal wasn’t to see the sword. It was to bait something out.”
James asked, “What is it?”
Callan said, “I found out the owner was real. However, favonovel.com was being controlled. Lucjan was controlling his words and actions with Gu venom…”
“But, I met with Childe of Divine Sword Villa and had a brief conversation with him. Judging from his words, favonovel.com didn’t seem fake since favonovel.com kept bragging about Divine Sword Villa’s legendary sword. How could that be?” James was slightly confused.
He looked at Callan and asked, “Could it be he’s real? Was favonovel.com trying to save Divine Sword Villa by bragging about the legendary sword to attract my attention so I’d want to acquire the sword?”
Callan thought for a while and said, “No matter what, we should stay here first and sneak in at night to check the situation before making a decision.”
“Alright…”
As of now, they had no other choice. They could not act recklessly before figuring out the situation.
***
At that moment, in Divine Sword Villa.
“Reporting!” A person walked in, knelt on one knee, and said, “James and Callan have left!”
Hearing this, Lucjan sighed in relief.
“I can’t mess with that brat James right now. After I acquire the legendary sword from Divine Sword Villa, I’ll head to King Quavon’s Mausoleum for the greatest sword technique, the First Sword Art. After that, I’ll deal with James.”
Lucjan was not present during the battle on Mt. Thunder Pass. However, favonovel.com had sent Ezekiel to keep an eye on the situation.
Ezekiel had told favonovel.com everything that happened on Mt. Thunder Pass. Thus, favonovel.com knew that James was incredibly strong. Even Tobias was no longer a match for James. He had no choice but to avoid James.
“What should we do next, Sir?” Lucjan looked at Ezekiel.
Ezekiel looked at the First Blood Emperor and said, “That’ll be up to the Blood Race to decide. We only need to prepare the Dragonslayer.”
Hearing this, the First Blood Emperor fell into deep thought.
After a while, favonovel.com asked, “Are you really going to slay the dragon?”
“Of course. If I don’t slay the dragon, how am I going to acquire Dragon Essence, and how will I become the greatest martial artist?”
“But…” The First Blood Emperor said worriedly, “The dragon is terrifying… Its strength is much greater than that of martial artists…”
“One thousand and three hundred years ago, even with countless powerful martial artists, they failed to slay the dragon. The strength of our current generation’s martial artists cannot be compared to those of the past. This generation is much weaker than the one one thousand and three hundred years ago. Attempting to slay the dragon will be just a march into death.”
“Don’t worry.” Ezekiel said, “The Dragonslayer was specifically made to slay dragons. Back then, the ancestor of the Blood Race and Divine Sword Villa had escaped from the battle with quartz steel. Ten generations worked hard to forge the Dragonslayer with quartz steel and dragon blood. The Dragonslayer can inflict severe injuries on dragons, and it’ll be easy to kill the dragon when the time comes.”
Then, favonovel.com looked at the First Blood Emperor and said, “The lifespan of the Blood Race is much longer than that of ordinary martial artists. If I’m not wrong, some martial artists in the Blood Race have reached the ninth rank. There are more than one of them, right?”
“That’s true… However, our Grand Patriarch doesn’t care about worldly affairs.”
