Chapter 2264

From afar, a loud voice rumbled through the sky.

Following the sound, a cloud of Demonic Energy appeared in the distance. The Demonic

Energy gathered together and formed a black lotus. A man was seated in a lotus position at the center of

the ominous, obsidian flower.

The man was dressed in a black robe and black mask.

In his seat, James spoke in a cold voice, “You’re very brazen, Marquis.”

He obtained a lot of information from Sophie..

Although the demons had left the earth before it was sealed, they left behind an organisation called the

Demon Castle.

The Demon Castle had members spread throughout the Three Thousand Worlds.

James wore a mask and pretended to be a prominent figure from the Demon Castle.

Marquis saw the black lotus. Even though he was a Sage of a high rank, he felt intimidated by the black

lotus’ dangerous aura.

He was startled and shaken to the core.

“W-Who are you?”

Marquis took James for a member of the Demon Race because of the Demonic Energy coming from

him.

However, he had no idea who this person was.

He knew almost all the secret elites from the Demon Castle that were in the Ancient Realm. However, he

could not identify the person that had just showed up.

“You’re not worthy of knowing my name.”

James pretended to be assertive to intimidate Marquis, saying sternly, “Take your troops and leave

immediately.”

“My Lord,” Marquis looked at James respectfully.

He could not fully comprehend the extent of James’ strength but knew the Demonic Lotus under James’

feet was peculiar.

“My Lord, I was given the order by the Protectors. They asked me to occupy the Ancient Realm. before

the seal opens in order to prepare the Demon Race for the conquest of Earth.”

Hearing this, James frowned.

The demons were scheming something big.

“The Protectors, huh?”

James snorted and said, “Even if the Protectors were here today, they wouldn’t dare to act

presumptuously before me.

After speaking, James took out a token.

Marcello gave him the token, saying it might be useful if he found himself in a desperate

situation.

Sophie’s voice came from the Celestial Abode. “James, imbue the token with some Demonic Energy.”

James followed her instructions.

He poured his Demonic Energy into the token. Suddenly, it flew out of his hand and hovered in the air.

A supreme force exuded from the token.

Even Marquis felt the horrific power and kneeled on the ground, trembling in fear.

“It’s an honor to be in your presence, My Lord.”

James had never used the token before and kept it hidden within his body after receiving it from

Marcello. He used his Demonic Energy, and the token unleashed ominous power.

Faced with the token, James felt petrified, as if he was in the presence of a powerful person.

‘What exactly is this token? What’s Marcello’s story?”

James took a deep breath. He casually waved his hand and withdrew the token into his hand. With a

simple thought, the token submerged into his palm and disappeared.

“Leave immediately with your troops. You don’t have to interfere with the Ancient Realm’s affairs. I have

a plan of my own.”

“Yes, of course.”

Marquis knelt on the ground, not daring to oppose James’ words. He felt a shiver down his spine when

the token appeared. After James put away the token, the pressure he felt was relieved tremendously. He

retracted his Curse Magic and ordered, “Retreat!”
