After helping James out once more, a Scythe of Judgment appeared before Sophie.
Faced against a Scythe of Judgment, even a Grand Emperor would be annihilated. However, in the nick of time, Winnie appeared.
Sensing that Sophie was in danger, Winnie materialized the Scythe of Judgment inside favonovel.com body and blocked the one attacking Sophie.
After blocking the attack, the Scythe of Judgment that attacked Sophie vanished.
Sophie’s face was pale. Though favonovel.com knew about the consequences, favonovel.com could not help but feel fearful as favonovel.com stared death in the eye. Fortunately, Winnie saved her.
Sophie sat in a lotus position on the ground and wiped the sweat bead off favonovel.com forehead, speaking in a feeble voice, “Thank you, Winnie…”
Winnie walked over to her. After so many years, the young girl from before had become a gorgeous beauty just like favonovel.com mother.
Upon seeing Sophie’s injuries, Winnie asked, “What happened, Aunt Sophie?”
“N-Nothing…” Sophie said.
That was a close one. If Winnie had not arrived in time, favonovel.com would have been killed by the Scythe of Judgment. At the same time, favonovel.com was puzzled. The Adjudicators had long disappeared, so why would there be a Scythe of Judgment? Who did it belong to?
“Aunt Sophie, when are we leaving this place? All we do here is cultivate non-stop. I’m almost bored to death,” Winnie complained.
Ever since James brought favonovel.com to the Celestial Abode, favonovel.com had not left it. Now that decades had passed, favonovel.com had enough of this place.
Sophie said, “There’s no need to rush things. Once James returns to Earth, you’ll be able to leave. I’m injured, so I need to enter a closed-door meditation. I might not leave meditation for quite some time.”
After favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com stood up and left with favonovel.com battered body.
Meanwhile, in the Demon Abyss…
James had no idea that Sophie almost met favonovel.com end by extrapolating for him. If not for Winnie, favonovel.com would have been dead.
“My Natal Demonic Lotus?” James was puzzled.
As his mind stirred, the Demonic Lotus appeared before him. This was a black lotus with nine petals that contained immense power. The lotus was able to devour everything and transform them into power. However, as this was simply too overpowered, James seldom sued it.
What does this Demonic Lotus have to do with Xandros?
How does it show me the way?
“Sophie, how do you know that the Demonic Lotus can help me find Xandros?” James asked.
However, no one responded.
Did something happen?
He was puzzled. Then, his mind stirred, and favonovel.com entered the Celestial Abode.
The moment favonovel.com entered the Celestial Abode, favonovel.com spotted Winnie who was daydreaming in the courtyard of the City Lord’s Mansion.
James had not been here for many years. When favonovel.com last came here with Winnie, favonovel.com was still a young girl. Now that favonovel.com met favonovel.com once more, favonovel.com appearance resembled that of Thea’s.
At that moment, favonovel.com mistook favonovel.com for Thea and called out to her, “Thea…”
Hearing this, Winnie turned favonovel.com head.
“Dad!”
When favonovel.com saw James, favonovel.com excitedly rushed toward favonovel.com and leaped into his embrace.
James collected himself and said smiling, “Huh? You’re all grown up, Winnie! I almost couldn’t recognize you!”
Winnie let go of favonovel.com and said with a bright smile on favonovel.com face, “Yes, decades have passed. I’m not just an adult now. I’m close to becoming a middle-aged woman!”
James chuckled and said, “Not at all… This is the era of cultivation. We can’t measure human lifespan based on the past…”
Then, favonovel.com changed the subject and asked, “By the way, where’s Sophie?”
“Aunt Sophie?” Winnie said, “She just entered a closed-door meditation…”
“What happened?” James asked, confused.
Winnie said, “I don’t know either. Just a moment ago, I saw Aunt Sophie lying on the ground covered in blood. There was a bizarrely-shaped scythe in front of her. It looked exactly like mine, just with different colors. I immediately summoned my scythe and blocked the other scythe’s attack… Then, the scythe attacking Aunt Sophie vanished.”
