Chapter 1661

Suddenly, the mountains, rivers, and earth trembled as if an earthquake was about to occur.

The animals in the forest became terrified and frantically fled into hiding.

After James had let out his desperate yell, he gradually calmed down.

He picked up the Primordial Dragon Blade stuck in the ground and planned to leave.

Swoosh!

Just as he was about to leave, a figure quickly sped toward him from a distance and showed up before

him.

James looked at the unexpected guest that had shown up.

It was Sky.

Sky’s appearance had changed drastically from a year ago.

He looked like he had aged a lot in the time James had seen him last.

His skin was wrinkled, and he looked significantly older.

During the past year, James had met Sky several times.

Every time they encountered one another, Sky would appear older and older.

When he saw Sky’s appearance, James’ brows furrowed together slightly as he said, “You must’ve

absorbed too much energy from others. Since your body has taken in too many sources of external

energy, it has disrupted the balance in your body and caused you to age rapidly. You can’t continue

doing this anymore, or else you’re going to die very soon.”

“Enough with your nonsense, James.”

Sky glared at James and spat, “I lost to you three months ago. However, I’ve already ascended the

Skyward Stairway’s Ninth Stair. I’m only one step away from becoming a ninth-ranked grandmaster. I’m

sure I’ll win this time!”

“Haha.” James smiled faintly.

Sky had reached the Ninth Stair of the Skyward Stair’s peak, but so had James.

James had already reached the rank a year ago.

Moreover, his swordsmanship had improved significantly.

He looked at Sky and said calmly, “Even so, you’re not going to win. You should turn back. I’m not

handing you the Novenary Golden Pills.”

“James, did you mean what you said a year ago?”

James looked at Sky and asked, “Hmm? What do you mean by that?”

Sky replied, “You spread the news a year ago saying whoever could tell you Thea’s whereabouts would

be rewarded a Novenary Golden Pill.”

The moment he heard this, James’ heart skipped a beat. He took a step forward and immediately

appeared right beside Sky

James stared at Sky and asked, “What did you just say? Do you mean you have news of Thea?”

“Yeah. It’s absolutely reliable.”

“Where?”

Sky reached out his hand and said, “Hand me the pill first.”

“That won’t do. You’ll give me the information first.”

“Haha…” Sky burst into laughter.

“Do you think I still trust you, James? If you don’t give me a Novenary Golden Pill, you can search all

your want for years or even decades, but you’ll never find her.”

“Fine. I’ll give it to you.”

James did not hesitate.

He took out the small bottle containing the Novenary Golden Pills and poured one out for Sky.

“I’ve already given you the Novenary Golden Pill. Can you tell me where Thea is now?”

Sky held the Novenary Golden Pill up and gently sniffed it.

“What an irresistible fragrance.”

Sky looked like he was intoxicated.

Then, he carefully put the pill away and said, “Thea has returned to Cansington and is back at the

Callahans’ villa.”

“Impossible. I went to Cansington a month ago and secretly visited the Callahans’ villa, but Thea had

not returned home,” James said bluntly.

“It’s true. News of this has already spread, but other ancient martial artists had no idea where you

were. Many of them are gathered in Mount Jade, asking the Omniscient Deity for your whereabouts.

I’m sure they’ll come to you soon and tell you the same thing.”

“You had better not be lying, Sky. Even if you refine the Novenary Golden Pill and manage to step into

the ninth rank, I can still kill you. You shouldn’t underestimate my current strength.”

James left his threat, picked up the Primordial Dragon Blade, and quickly left Mount Zelus. He rushed

to Cansington without stopping.

Meanwhile, Sky held onto the Novenary Golden Pill in admiration.

“It’s been one year. I finally have you.

“After I refine the Novenary Golden Pill, I’ll be a ninth-ranked grandmaster.

“Haha! Finally, my time has come! This generation will bow to me! The world is about to tremble at my

feet!”
