Chapter 2582

The Blademaster of Mount Grinch was a peerless cultivator.

With such a powerhouse shouting outside demanding the mountain gate be opened, the Crepe Myrtle

Sword Master became worried.

She contemplated whether to open it or not.

“What will you do with the powerhouses outside the mountain gate, Sword Master?” asked Xianna.

The Sword Master thought awhile and said, “The Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion isn’t a hidden sect.

With so many powerhouses outside the mountain gate, it’ll seem as if I’m unwelcoming if I don’t open

the gate for them.” The Sword Master decided to open the door.

Although the supreme sword-fighting techniques were hidden within the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion,

they were a legend passed down by their ancestors by word of mouth.

Even she did not know the location of where they were hidden.

Xianna said lightly, “I’ll respect whatever decision you make.” They were in the Crepe Myrtle Sword

Pavilion.

Although the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion had always maintained a good relationship with Sangria,

Xianna did not interfere with the Sword Master’s decision.

When James arrived, he overheard the Sword Master’s decision to open the mountain gate.

Ever since the Crepe Myrtle Sword Master heard the footsteps of someone following her in the tower,

she had been paying close attention to her surroundings.

As soon as James came close, she immediately heard him.

The Sword Master looked at Xianna and motioned with her eyes.

Xianna immediately understood the message and began sensing her surroundings.

However, she was unable to sense anyone around them.

James noticed something strange about them and stopped in place.

“Who are you?” The Sword Master stood up and looked in the direction James was approaching with a

guarded expression.

Xianna also stood up and stared ahead but could not see anything.

Hearing no response from the intruder, the Sword Master suddenly raised her hand.

A powerful force materialized in her hand and struck in James’ direction.

Although James was invisible, he instinctively dodged.

The force swept past him but struck his arm.

He felt a dull pain on his arm and gritted his teeth.

‘There’s no one there, Sword Master.

Are you being paranoid?” asked Xianna.

“Impossible. There must be someone here.” The Sword Master stared ahead very attentively.

After James dodged the blow, he thought about it and decided it was necessary for him to reveal

himself.

He would have to show himself sooner or later.

If he revealed himself any later, it would cause a much more significant misunderstanding and make it

harder for him to explain himself.

He dispersed Nova’s energy around his body and appeared out of thin air before the two women.

Seeing a man suddenly appear, the Sword Master’s face became solemn.

She secretly mobilized all her energy and stared at James warily.

As long as James posed a threat, she would strike immediately.

Seeing James, Xianna was taken aback momentarily.

She recomposed herself and asked, “Why are you here, Mr. Caden?”

The Sword Master turned to Xianna beside her and asked,” Do you know him?” Xianna nodded and

said, “His name is James Caden.

Not long ago, he saved many of our country’s soldiers.” James walked over with a smile.

The Sword Master shouted, “Stop right there.” James stopped in his tracks and looked at the Sword

Master with an innocent face.

The Sword Master asked, “Why have you been secretly following me?” James explained with a smile,

“Please don’t misunderstand, Sword Master.

I didn’t mean to follow you.

I’m simply curious about Sangria’s Curse.

This place happened to be the central region of Sangria.

Thus, I snuck into the Crepe Myrtle Sword Pavilion, hoping to find more information about the curse.”

“Are you telling the truth?” The Sword Master was doubtful of him.

James nodded and said, “It’s the truth.

I really don’t mean any harm.” The Sword Master questioned, “How did you get into the Crepe Myrtle

Sword Pavilion? A huge Sword Formation is protecting the mountain.

With your strength, how is it possible to pass through the formation?” James replied with a smile,

“Naturally, I have my own ways of getting in.” Xianna beside them said, “Sword Master, James isn’t a

dangerous person.

It’s possible he was really just curious about Sangria’s Curse and came to learn more about it.”
