Yefrenes took a deep breath, turned around slowly to face James, and said, “Since the cat’s already out of the bag, there’s no need to hide it anymore. Do you have Frona with you, James?”
James took a sip of his wine and asked with a smile, “So what if I do?”
Yefrenes said firmly, “Please hand her over. She’s the Caeloros Supreme, the backbone of the Destiny Sect. Without her, the Xanadu and Haleth Realms will face catastrophes.
“The Haleth Realm’s divine beings don’t know a lot of things. In fact, it’s best they don’t ever discover the truth. Otherwise, the Haleth Realm will never be at peace.”
‘This again? Since you want to be ambiguous and play tricks with me, I might as well teach you a lesson.’
James pondered for a moment, then asked, “I heard that devouring the Caeloros Supreme would increase my strength significantly and allow me to become invincible in the Haleth Realm.”
Amos exclaimed, “You devoured her?! You…”
Yefrenes glared at him, silencing him. Then, she turned to James and said, “With your current strength, you’re already considered a formidable existence in the Haleth Realm. What you’re lacking is the baptism of the Forty-Nine Daoisms.”
Pointing at the Historial Palace behind her, she elaborated, “The forty-nine cauldrons and remaining five treasures are in there. You’re only one step away from becoming the Supreme Path and gaining control over the Haleth Realm.
“Hand her over to us, and you’ll be able to become the Haleth Realm’s ruler without having to devour her.”
“Since everyone here is of high status, you should all understand that nobody acts without benefit. Let’s stop beating around the bush and be frank with each other.”
Though Yefrenes was furious, she endured it and nodded in agreement. “As long as you return the Caeloros Supreme to us, I’ll allow negotiations.”
James pointed at Yefrenes and said with a smile, “That’s the way! The fight over the Wuia Palace is supposed to be between the Haleth Realm’s beings. However, now that three Caeloros Gods of Nothingness are here, you should uphold justice for us.”
Yefrenes frowned. “You want us to resolve the Leere Tribulation for you? You should know that’s not possible.”
