Chapter 2318

The Divine Holy Emperor stepped forward and said, “I agree wholeheartedly, or else the Demon Race

will think we’re pushovers. However, since the Dragon Abyss’ entrance will soon open and the Grand

Tournament came to an early end, we need to finish the tournament as soon as possible. That way, we

can select distinguished cultivators to enter the Dragon Abyss.”

“Holy Emperor, as the organizer, I’ll leave everything in your hands.”

“We will obey you.”

“But how do we proceed?”

The Divine Holy Emperor thought about it and said, “Now, we can only hold a martial arts tournament

just like in the past.”

They discussed their next course of action.

After discussion, the Divine Holy Emperor left and headed to his closed-door meditation sanctuary at

the back of the mountain.

Marquis was still there.

“What the hell is going on?” the Divine Holy Emperor immediately questioned him.

Marquis sat in a lotus position on the ground as his body exuded Demonic Energy. He glanced at the

Divine Holy Emperor and said, “I’ve just received news from the Protector that Lucifer has been

resurrected. He was resurrected by a human. Not only that, but the human was the one who appeared

at the Ancient Clan and had the token.”

Although Marquis was located in the Divinity Sect, he was able to communicate with the Protector via

long-distance arcane arts.

Marquis continued, “I thought some big shots were behind the scenes. I never thought it would be a

mere human. He was only fortunate enough to obtain a relic of the Demon Race. I wonder where he

obtained the token from.”

Then, he looked at the Divine Holy Emperor.

“This man is a participant in the Grand Tournament. Besides, he was also there at the Ancient Clan on

that fateful day. If not for him, the Ancient Clan would have been annihilated.”

Hearing this, the Divine Holy Emperor furrowed his eyebrows and asked, “In that case, who is he?”

“I’ll leave the investigation to you. Once you find out about the man’s identity, finish him off.” Marquis

made a gesture to kill.

He had learned of James’ identity and the origin of his physical body. However, he had no idea where

his token came from. Such a person would pose a challenge to them in the Ancient Realm if he was

spared.

Though Lucifer chose to spare James, the Protector wanted him dead. So, he instructed Marquis to

investigate James and annihilate him.

“Understood, I’ll look into the matter.”

The Divine Holy Emperor turned to leave.

After leaving, he began investigating the outsiders that appeared at the Ancient Clan. Based on what

James had said earlier, he was now sure that James was the one he was looking for.

James did not know yet that he was in deep trouble.

After learning that James was the one he was looking for, the Divine Holy Emperor immediately

contacted powerful figures all over the world.

As they gathered at the Divinity Sect’s main hall, the Welkin Academy’s headmaster asked, “Holy

Emperor, is something the matter?”

The Divine Holy Emperor glanced at him and sneered, “Headmaster, I never thought you’d the one who

colluded with the Demon Race. Why did you try to kill our cultivators? What are you up to?”

“Watch your words, Patriarch of the Divinity Sect.” Yoan immediately stepped forward.

“Hmph!” The Divine Holy Emperor smirked. “I was wondering how the Demon Race appeared at Mount

Walvern. Based on my investigation, one of the Welkin Academy’s disciples who participated in the

Grand Tournament is a member of the Demon Race.”

“Bullsh*t!” Jeffery rebuked him. “Where’s the evidence?”

“Evidence?” The Divine Holy Emperor’s face darkened as he said, “Yoan Xenocrates, your disciple

James Caden is a member of the Demon Race.”

“Impossible!” Yoan immediately dismissed the mere thought of it.

The Divine Holy Emperor said, “The truth will be revealed soon. Men, bring James Caden here!”

Immediately, the Divinity Sect disciples left the main hall and began searching for James.
