James was not especially concerned about Winnie’s safety.
Given that almost all martial artists around the world had learned of the impending apocalypse, they were all currently putting their efforts into practicing martial arts in order to deal with the approaching apocalypse. No one was out to make trouble.
He just thought that favonovel.com was not a competent father.
After saying goodbye to the Callahan family, favonovel.com did not stay any longer and quickly left Cansington for Dragonville in the Southern Plains
***
Meanwhile, in Tacriyrus…
Tacriyrus was a country established by Sky.
Sky wished to establish a capital as well as a prosperous dynasty that would last for thousands of years.
Maxine had been assisting favonovel.com for over a year. During this period of over a year, Tacriyrus developed rapidly. With Maxine’s help, it conquered many neighboring countries using tactics, sly maneuvers, or brute force.
Right now, Tacriyrus covered a sizable area.
In the palace’s backyard in Tacriyrus, Maxine was sitting on a stone bench. She was in a white dress and holding a sword in favonovel.com hands. The sword bore a resemblance to the Primordial Dragon Blade. The only difference was the color of the blade.
The Primordial Dragon Blade was golden, whereas this sword was black.
It was the Doomsday Sword, which was made in the Divine Sword Villa using dragon bones as well as other unique materials. She touched the Doomsday Sword with a calm expression. Her face was devoid of any emotion.
Then, a man in armor walked over.
He knelt down on one knee and addressed favonovel.com with respect, “Chancellor.”
Maxine did not turn around.
“Speak,” favonovel.com said indifferently.
“James has already departed Cansington for Southern Plains’ Dragonville,” said the armor-clad man.
Maxine was currently the Chancellor of Tacriyrus. After a year of development, Tacriyrus had also established an intelligence network. The intelligence network now spanned the entire globe. Maxine also issued an order to closely monitor James’ every move.
Previously, when James was meditating in seclusion at Mt. Thunder Pass in the Southern Plains, Maxine did not come out and cause any trouble. She did not send anyone to keep an eye on James until favonovel.com showed up at the Heaven and Earth Sect.
“Okay… Got it. You may leave,” Maxine spoke softly.
“Yes.” The man in armor stood up quickly and left in a hurry.
Only then did Maxine slowly rise to favonovel.com feet from the stone bench.
Right then, Sky walked over.
Maxine glanced at Sky and said, “Why are you out and about when you could be practicing martial arts and meditating in seclusion?”
Sky looked at Maxine, a smile spreading across his face. “I miss you, so I came out to see you.”
Maxine appeared distant and cold. She did not respond to Sky.
Sky walked over and sat down.
“Is there anything significant that has happened recently?” favonovel.com asked.
Sky had been in closed-door meditation since half a year ago, after receiving a mysterious purple fruit from Mount Bane, so favonovel.com had no idea what was going on in the outside world right now.
All of Tacriyrus’ affairs were currently managed by Maxine.
Maxine said nonchalantly, “Nothing of note, really. A month ago, a very powerful monster appeared on Mount Haven. James came out of seclusion and fought the monster for half a month before killing it eventually.”
“Monster?” Sky furrowed his brow.
Maxine did not want to say anything more about this matter.
She looked at Sky and asked, “What rank is your cultivation base now?”
“Well,” Sky let out a sigh of resignation and said, “I absorbed the purple fruit, but I only managed to break the first shackle. Besides, I had previously forced my way up to the ninth rank using the Dragon Essence. I was unable to grasp the true essence of cultivation. I can’t sense the presence of the Empyrean Spiritual Energy either. This is definitely a major obstacle on my path of cultivation.”
Sky was visibly frustrated. He had used the Dragon Essence to break through the ninth rank by force, but as of yet favonovel.com still could not sense the presence of the Empyrean Spiritual Energy.
Maxine said nonchalantly, “Don’t rush. Take your time. There’s still a long time until the apocalypse anyway. Continue on with your cultivation. I have to go out for something.”
Maxine was about to walk away with the Doomsday Sword in favonovel.com hand.
In a flash, Sky appeared in front of Maxine, blocking favonovel.com path.
