“She looked absolutely ravishing even in that state!” The gray-haired elderly cultivator chuckled slowly. “Let me have my way with her first once we subdue her, Dorvus. I’ve never seen another lady who is as captivating as Yehria and the Yin governor like her.” Dorvus grinned. “I’m afraid I can’t do that, Salim. I want the gorgeous lady as much as you do.” Salim Withal, the Supreme War Saint, furrowed his brows and said, “I’ll let you have Maria instead! I’m sure you’ll enjoy having a Double Cultivation with her.” “Maria!” Dorvus ran his tongue along his lips. “Sheʼll make a wonderful slave for Double Cultivation. However…” “Iʼll add one more thing to my offer.” Salim stared at Dorvus. “Iʼll let you take full credit once we capture Lord Goyo.” Dorvus widened his eyes and laughed heartily. “Alright! Itʼs a deal!” He stood up and called aloud, “Stop resisting, pretty lady! Weʼll spare you if you agree to surrender now!” Those remarks enraged Harper. She extended her arms an

Dorvus and Salim came to their senses as well. They could hardly believe what they had just witnessed. Meanwhile, a small commotion erupted among the Alcide beings who were watching from the side. “How dare you hurt my woman! You must have a death wish, demon!” Salim flew into a rage. He transformed into a beam of light and darted in Mariaʼs direction. The purplish-gold light sword turned around and headed for the beam of light as well. Boom! Boom! Boom! Deafening noises echoed through the area as the purplish-gold light sword and the beam of light collided. To everyoneʼs surprise, they could see Salimʼs beam of light being destroyed one section after the other under the purplish-gold light swordʼs swift attacks. Boom! A violent blast of air was sent outward in all directions as the beam of lightʼs final section was shattered. The bodies of numerous divine beings and Marauder Warriors found nearby exploded as they could not withstand the overwhelming pressure. As fo

“His Majesty… You mean Xanthakos, right?” James asked in a cold, raised voice, “I have a question, Mr. Hosentia.” Dorvus was drenched in cold sweat. James continued, “Which of us is the commander-in-chief here?” Dorvus flinched and bowed his head. “Youʼre the commander-in-chief, of course. We…” “There lies the problem, right?” James cut him off again. “In your opinion, how should I punish a subordinate who disobeyed my orders?” Dorvus bowed deeper. He hurriedly explained, “It was a misunderstanding, Commander! I had no idea His Majesty had planted his men in the Terythor Universe. “I only had our men attack this place since the Supreme War Saint and Maria contacted me. They helped us conquer the Terythor Universe.” “Ha!” James said monotonously, “Are you saying not only have you not done anything wrong, but youʼve also made a huge contribution to our mission?” “No! Of course not!” Dorvus was flustered. “It was all thanks to your idea to lure Xalvador away that we succee

James took the Marauder Token and narrowed his eyes. Then, he bellowed, “The Marauder Armyʼs commander, Dorvus Hosentia, disobeyed his superiorʼs orders! He will receive a punishment of thirty thousand whips right away!” James lightly waved the Marauder Token in his hand. Several Marauder Warriors came forward and caught Dorvus by the arms. They started dragging him away. Dorvus cried frantically, “Commander! I was wrong, Commander! “You canʼt do this! Weʼve just conquered the Terythor Universe, and you need all the help you can get. You canʼt…” James simply signaled to the Marauder Warriors to take Dorvus away. “Harper.” James turned his gaze toward her. “Youʼll monitor the execution of Dorvusʼ punishment.” Harper paused briefly before she pouted and grumbled, “Are you punishing him for what he did to me earlier?” James shrugged. “So, are you going or not?” “Of course I am!” Harperʼs chin rose in a proud gesture. “Whatʼs more, Iʼm going to do the whipping myself! Tha

At that very moment, a beam of purplish-gold light landed behind Fausto, and a person stepped out from it. It was a familiar face. Xalvador yelped. His eyes widened. Beside him, Yvelle covered her mouth in shock. “Whatʼs the matter with you two?” Fausto smirked. “Was I wrong? That unsophisticated James Caden claimed to be the Mortal Emperor and the first person to complete the Three Treasures Integration. “What a joke! A nobody like him dreams of claiming a spot in the Forty-Ninth Heaven!” “If you ask me…” Fausto continued frigidly, “Once he shows up here, we should seize him. Then, we could use him to make the Yin governor surrender herself and the Wyrmscale Source. “Once we get back the north, we can work on eliminating all our enemies… Huh?” Fausto stopped abruptly as he could sense a murderous aura coming from behind him. He immediately glanced over his shoulder and found a handsome man in a black robe standing silently behind him. Fausto did not pick up on the ma
