Chapter 2309

James had no idea what was going on behind the scenes. So, he continued marching forward alongside

the main unit.

Affected by Demonic Energy, the plants in this region had shriveled. All around, there was an eerie

silence, and only the sound of footsteps could be heard.

Soon, they arrived outside a valley.

There was a Magic Circle outside the valley. As the main unit passed through the Magic Circle, threads

of Demonic Energy would materialize around them. As the Demonic Energy enter the Magic Circle, they

easily passed through the barrier. However, as the disciples of the Welkin Academy did the same, an

alarm rang as the Magic Circle glowed brightly.

Seeing this, James murmured, “So I need to have Demonic Energy inside my body to enter the Magic

Circle”

As he had Demonic Energy inside his body, he was undaunted. Soon, he arrived at the Magic Circle.

Without any hesitation, he passed through the Magic Circle as threads of Demonic Energy materialized

around him.

After passing through the Magic Circle, there was a stone cavern before him. Outside the stone cavern,

there was a group of enemies waiting to enter through a stone door. As they approached the door, they

pressed their palms against the door and catalyzed Demonic Energy to open the door.

Seeing this, James breathed a sigh of relief. He could easily infiltrate the place.

Soon, he entered the stone cavern. Before him was a passageway that extended deep underground and

was guarded on both sides by the enemy’s garrison. The place was heavily guarded. Not only that, but

James could sense the strength of the guards. Each of them was at least at the Immortal Ascension’s

Eighth Stair. It would be nigh impossible to break in forcibly.

“You may rest for now. Another team will continue the search in Mount Walvern,” a man ordered.

Then, the main unit turned to leave.

James followed them close behind, at a loss for what to do.

He planned to search for the Welkin Academy’s disciples’ whereabouts. However, upon arriving at the

Demon Race’s camp, he did not dare act impulsively. After all, he would not be able to force his way out

unscathed if he was discovered. Although he had the Demonic Lotus and a token in his possession, he

was unsure if they would come in handy. If they ignored the token, his identity would be revealed, and he

would die a merciless death here.

Following the main unit, he proceeded deeper into the cavern and arrived at an underground palace. The

palace was huge and had many rooms. Since each room had a number of its own, the main unit

dispersed, and everyone returned to their own room.

Seeing this, James was filled with consternation.

“Where is this place?”

Since he was an infiltrator, he did not dare move around as he pleased.

After some thought, he planned to search the underground palace for the imprisoned cultivators.

Though the exterior was heavily guarded, the opposite was true for the interior.

James walked around nonchalantly. Along the way, he came across many men in black robes and black

masks. None of them greeted each other. Perhaps no one knew the other’s identity.

Soon, James left the underground palace and arrived at the entrance of an underground passageway.

Standing by the entrance, he could sense powerful Demonic Energy coming from within.

He was shocked. Meanwhile, his body sprang to life. His cells were pulsing, and his blood was boiling.

‘What powerful Demonic Energy! It’s able to affect even my body.’

“Hey!”
