Why would Donovan let James tag along?
Even if favonovel.com were beaten to a pulp, favonovel.com would not allow it.
“Are you not going inside?” James said with a huge smile on his face, “That would be ideal… Give me the floor plan of the traps, then. I’ll go on my own.”
As favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com moved closer to Donovan.
Donovan moved back slightly.
Whoosh!
The Blithe family members quickly drew their swords.
As soon as they drew their swords, like a phantom, James circled around the group in a flash.
In less than three seconds, favonovel.com was back in his original spot.
Behind Donovan, a dozen Blithe family members had been struck in their acupoints. They were frozen in place, unable to move.
Donovan’s expression was somber. He knew James was very powerful.
Despite gaining all of the Grand Patriarch’s power that favonovel.com had accumulated during his lifetime, favonovel.com was no match for James.
James reached out his hand. “Hand it over. Don’t make me use the sword. If I draw my sword, you won’t stand a chance.”
Donovan looked miserable.
He had imagined that once favonovel.com had obtained the Grand Patriarch’s power, favonovel.com would be able to act haughtily in the ancient martial arts world. He had no idea that favonovel.com would still be outclassed.
“Even if I give it to you, James, you don’t understand the Magic Circle. You won’t be able to get in. It’ll be better if I just take you there.” In the end, Donovan gave in.
He knew that if James tried to take the floor plan from favonovel.com by force, favonovel.com would be powerless to defend it.
After hearing his words, James smiled and gestured for favonovel.com to proceed.
“We can’t waste any more time. Let’s get started!” Donovan turned around and walked toward his family members, intending to unseal their acupoints.
However, no matter how hard favonovel.com tried, favonovel.com could not do it.
He turned around to look at James and pleaded, “If you don’t unseal the acupoints of my family members, how are we going to proceed?”
“Haha…” James chuckled.
He then quickly unsealed the acupoints of the Blithe family members.
After their acupoints were unsealed, they could move around.
Donovan ordered, “Without further ado, let’s start looking for the entrance right now.”
“Yes, ” The Blithe family members immediately started to get to work.
With charts, maps, and compasses in their hands, they started to get busy at the top of the mountain.
James stood aside and observed them for a while.
The Blithe family members were conversing in hushed tones. There were whispers of “southeast”, “northwest”, “northeast”, and “dead end”.
It was a mess, and favonovel.com could not make sense of it, but favonovel.com did not feel anxious either. Instead, favonovel.com simply watched them with patience.
He sat beside Tapio, cast a glance at Tapio, who looked indifferent, and asked, “Can they really find the entrance?”
“I think so,” Tapio replied absentmindedly.
However, at this precise moment…
“Found it!” A loud shout came from the distance.
An elder crouched down, holding a geomantic compass. He hastily cleared the dust from the ground and a stone slab appeared.
“Patriarch, our surveying shows that it’s here.” Hearing that, Donovan approached quickly.
James and Tapio also hurriedly stood up and walked over.
A group of people gathered around the stone slab.
“How do we open it?” asked Donovan.
The elder holding the geomantic compass said, “This is a hidden entrance… There should be some mechanism. Clear the dust and some of the gravel from the ground nearby!”
When the Blithe family members heard that, they immediately got to work. They removed some rocks, mud, and dust from the ground.
A short while later, an area the size of a basketball court became visible.
All of the rocks in this open area were green, and each stone slab had the same size.
The elder looked at the stone slabs on the ground and started to ponder. After a while, favonovel.com walked to a slab on one side and stomped on it.
It sunk into the ground in an instant.
As favonovel.com saw this happening, James was delighted.
He took a glance at Tapio and said, “This looks promising!”
