Chapter 2137
As the voice rang out. From a distance, the sounds of footsteps could be heard.
Soon, a large number of cultivators in dark robes and dark masks appeared.
At a glance, the area appeared to be densely packed with approximately three thousand people.
These people appeared quickly and surrounded James and the others.
From the sky, an elder descended. He stood firm on the ground.
The elder looked to be in his seventies. His face was wrinkly, and his eyes were sunken. His appearance was unsettling. He was dressed in a red robe and holding a red sword.
“Saturio Hadecus?”
When Laelia saw this elder, her face turned pale. The remaining dozen guards were all so terrified they were starting to shiver.
James could not help but turn to face Laelia and said, “Saturio Hadecus? Who is he?”
Laelia’s face was filled with fear. Her teeth were slightly chattering as she said, “The Dark Keep …the Dark Keep’s Deputy Master. His ability is only second to the Master’s. He is one of the top cultivators in the Land of Taval. Rumor has it that his strength is at the peak of Herculean Sixth Layer, just a step away from the Immortal Ascension rank.”
“I didn’t think such a young girl as you would know about me.” The elder in the red robe stroked his beard gently. With a relaxed smile on his aged face, he said softly, “Princess Laelia,
I don’t want to trouble you either. Give me the treasure, and I’ll spare your life.”
Saturio’s voice rang out. Every word he spoke pierced Laelia’s chest like a sharp blade. Her whole body was trembling in fear.
A cultivator at the peak of the Herculean Sixth Layer could easily kill her with a flick of a finger. She could not help but tug at James’ sleeves.
James gently took her hand and comforted her, “It’s alright. I’m here.
After hearing these words from James, the anxiety in Laelia’s heart slightly subsided.
James looked at Saturio and said in a soft voice, “I don’t want to kill anyone. If you know what’s best for you, leave now. Otherwise, don’t hold it against me for not being courteous.”
“Heh!” Saturio laughed. His laughter was icy and low. As he laughed, his face darkened. Impudent brat. Since you want to play the hero, I’ll send you on to your fate today.”
He raised his hand and gave an order, “Attack.”
Schwing! Schwing! Schwing!
The surrounding cultivators in black robes pulled out their swords all at once.
