James wanted Thea to return to Cansington first since it was too dangerous here. However, Thea did not want to go back.
“I’ll wait for you, Honey. When you’ve defeated the people from the Void Sect, I’ll go back to Cansington with you.”
After giving it some thought, James decided that since favonovel.com would be here to look after Thea, it would be fine for favonovel.com to stay.
“Alright…”
Following that, James waited there for a few days.
***
Soon, it was the day of the fight. As promised, the fight between James and the Void Sect would take place today.
It was daybreak.
James was sitting in the lotus position on the mountaintop of Mount Bane. He was absorbing the Empyrean Spiritual Energy and turning it into his own True Energy.
During these past few days, many more martial artists had come to Mount Bane. The total number of people, both young and old, was around ten thousand.
These ten thousand people were the cornerstone of the current ancient martial arts world.
The sun was gradually rising. James stopped cultivating and stood up from the ground. In the distance, there were some simple wooden buildings. Right then, a dozen of people appeared in front of the wooden houses.
In the last few days, James also learned that there were not a lot of Void Sect disciples. In total, there were less than twenty people. However, these twenty people were all extremely powerful. The weakest of them was at the Ninth Stair of the Skyward Stairway. There were even a number of people who had entered the rank of Half-Saint.
As for the ninth rank, James knew little about that. The only thing favonovel.com could be certain of was that Kaj was a ninth-rank grandmaster.
Whoosh!
Under the watchful gaze of many, a man with long silver hair and dressed in a golden robe leaped and appeared mid-air in front of the wooden house. He hovered in mid-air and looked at James, who was at the summit of the mountain ahead.
James looked at favonovel.com as well.
Their eyes locked.
James could see contempt in Kaj’s eyes. Kaj could not care less about him.
“James…” Kaj began to speak, his voice resonating throughout the area.
“During this time, the Void Sect has challenged ancient martial artists all over the world. Except for the several ninth-rank grandmasters who were not challenged, nearly all of the world’s ancient martial artists were defeated. You’re the only person who has defeated a Void Sect disciple… I invited you to a fight on Mount Bane because I wanted to let you know that the most powerful sect in this world is actually the Void Sect. Before we start the fight, let me clarify some things.”
“First, this is not a typical fight. This is a death match. During the fight, either you’ll kill me or I’ll kill you. Besides that, you can admit defeat. After you admit your defeat, you’ll be my servant and do my bidding.”
Kaj’s voice rang out from the sky, echoing in the ears of many martial artists.
“Disgusting!” Thea’s expression immediately changed.
She snapped, “Why is this person like this? This wasn’t what favonovel.com said before.”
Thomas grabbed Thea just in time and tried to persuade her, ‘Thea, stay calm. It’s possible that James won’t lose.”
“But Sir Caden, this is the Void Sect.” Thea’s face was filled with concern.
Callan stepped forward as well and said, “I believe in James too. He might not end up losing.”
Other martial artists also began to discuss.
“This Kaj person is the senior disciple of the Void Sect. The other Void Sect disciples are already so powerful. As the senior disciple, favonovel.com must be extremely powerful. If I guess correctly, Kaj is a ninth-rank grandmaster.”
“With such confidence, favonovel.com must be in the ninth rank.”
“I wonder how strong James is right now.”
“Keep watching and you’ll find out.”
Quite a few people began to discuss.

Far away, in the area the Mount Thunder Sect was…
Currently, the head of Mount Thunder Sect was Simon.
“Grand Patriarch, do you think James will win?” asked Delainey, a hint of worry on favonovel.com face.
Simon shook his head slightly and said, “I’m not sure. However, since James dared to show up, favonovel.com must have been confident in his abilities. Let’s be patient and keep watching.”
