Chapter 1619

James froze.

Lance was dead?

The news came as a shock to him.

“Yes, he died by Tobias’ hand,” Sky said.

As he said that, he exuded a terrifying aura that shattered the windows of the convoys behind him.

Even the Phantom Army was sent flying and collapsed to the ground.

James deflected the aura in time and prevented the convoy behind him from destruction. Staring at Sky

in disbelief, a chill ran down his spine.

He had never fought against Sky. He had only heard of him. Sky was a member of Lance’s Elite Four a

hundred years ago. As the leader of the Elite Four, it was only because of him that Lance managed to

secure his position as the King.

Sky exuded a powerful aura that suppressed even James’. Slowly, he staggered backward. Although

the two had yet to come to blows, it seemed that Sky’s True Energy was even greater than that of

James’. This could only mean that he was more powerful than him. Since James was on the verge of

ascending the Sixth Stair, this would mean Sky was above the Sixth Stair.

As he thought of this, James’ face darkened.

Sky walked toward James. With every step he took, James took a step back. Soon, James had

retreated to where the convoy was stopped.

“This is your last chance. Do you agree to my demands?” Sky roared.

His voice reverberated in James’ eardrums.

James catalyzed True Nine Ordeals Energy and forcibly resisted the terrifying pressure.

Looking at Sky who gradually approached him, he knew that there would be a bloodbath if he did not

agree to his demands.

James was unafraid of Sky since the Invincible Body Siddhi had the best defensive capability in the

world. Even if Sky had reached a higher realm, he might not have been able to destroy his defense.

However, he did not dare attack Sky. He knew the surrounding neighborhoods would be utterly in ruins

if they resorted to violence. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Fine, I agree to your demands.”

He had no choice but to compromise. Besides, this deal was beneficial to him as well. At least Sky

would not be antagonistic toward him, which would greatly benefit Sol’s stability.

“That’s more like it.”

Sky’s aura dissipated.

Looking at James, he said while smiling. “I’ll give you time to rehaul the Capital and prop up a new

King. Once the new King is in power and Sol has stabilized, we will conquer the West together.”

A smile crept up on Sky’s face as he turned to leave.

James watched Sky’s retreating figure as he murmured, “Does he truly understand the Vampire Clan’s

strength? Why is he so confident that he can annihilate them? Besides, he said that there’s something

more crucial to him than controlling Sol. What could it be?”

He was lost in thought.

All of Sol was within Sky’s control. It would be nigh impossible for him to tussle for political authority

with Sky if he insisted on holding on to power. Now, however, Sky voluntarily handed control of Sol to

James. His only condition to James was this: head to the West with him and conquer the Vampire

Clan’s headquarters.

“What does the Vampire Clan have for him to willingly give up everything?”

James could not figure this out.
