The fleeing group of people immediately let out a huge breath of relief upon seeing the dragon retreat. All three of them were covered with blood and looked restless. It was obvious that they just came out from a difficult battle. They had no energy nor desire to take care of first impressions and promptly sat down on the floor, respectively summoning energies to heal their injuries.
James looked at the two men and the woman from afar. The two men resembled each other, so they were probably brothers. As for the woman who wore a white dress, her dress was now covered with blotches of red. Some parts of it were torn, uncovering serious injuries on her bare skin.
He could sense that all three of them have attained the Quasi Ancestral God Rank and that their mastery within the rank was relatively strong.
Upon arriving at this age, James encountered many powerful figures. As such, he had some understanding of the Quasi Ancestral God Rank.novelebook.com There are three divisions within the Rank, namely the Illuminated Rank, the Theosophical Rank, and the Path Integration Rank. As an illustration, the Heavenly Adjudicator who appeared In the Apocalypse Age was of the Path Integration Rank. As for the three in front of him, they were of the Theosophical Rank, whereas the black dragon who sought after them was of the Path Integration Rank.
After a short break, the three stood up and walked towards James. One man opened up first. “Thank you so much for your help, my fellow cultivator. If it weren’t for you, all of us would have died here.”
James was wearing a mask that covered half of his face. His facial features were not fully visible to the group. Staring at them, he said coldly, “This is a dangerous place. Even Ancestral Gods would not casually come here. Why then are you here?”
The leader of the group replied, “We’re here to look for providence, as we haven’t been able to break through the Quasi Ancestral God Rank for countless years.” He then started introducing himself, “I am Hadrian Stuart, this is my younger brother Herbert. And she’s Mia Londyn, the princess of the Londyn Dynasty. We’re all here to look for providence and boon.”
James nodded his head gently.
“And you?” Hadrian asked James.
James replied without much expression, “My name is unimportant. This place is menacing. Now that you’re away from danger, leave quickly now.” James said very little, as his name must not be exposed easily. Otherwise, Mount Heavenly Path would find out sooner or later, and its killers would arrive here very soon. James was not strong enough at the current moment. He would not be able to handle more killers as of now.
