Chapter 2693

“I see.” Realization dawned on James’ face.

Shaken, the Blademaster said, ‘The curse’s power is immensely malicious. Even I stand no chance

against it. I’m afraid I cannot continue any further. I’ll leave everything to you two. I’m turning back

now.”

Fearful for his life, the Blademaster wanted to turn back. James nodded and said, ”Mhm, this place is

filled with evil. You should leave.”

“I’ll be waiting outside.” Saying that, the Blademaster stood up and hurriedly fled. James and Walganus

looked at one another.

James asked, “I’m able to disregard the curse’s power here because I possess a Demonic Body. But,

why aren’t you affected as well?”

Walganus smiled faintly and said, “I’m no ordinary man. I was able to appear on Planet Galileo despite

the seal on the planet. What can a mere curse do to me?” ‘True that.”

James nodded.

Since Walganus was full of secrets, James was not surprised that he was also able to disregard the

curse’s power.

He did not question him further.

The two continued on their journey. The deeper they ventured, the stronger the curse’s power became.

However, the curse’s power was unable to deal any damage to James and Walganus.

The two continued straight ahead, traversing the barren landscape for approximately six months before

eventually arriving at the core region of the Barren Wasteland.

There was a city there. However, the city was desolate, and half of its walls had already collapsed.

The two entered the city.

The city had been uninhabited for many years. The streets were silent without any signs of life. A

gentle breeze blew and lifted the layer of accumulated dust on the ground.

“Looks like this place was once a bustling city.” Walking on the wide streets, James scanned his

surroundings and said, “But, how did it become so desolate? Besides, what’s with the curse’s power

being here? How did this come to be?”

A string of questions appeared in James’ mind.

“Walganus, was some treasure here contaminated by a curse? Is that why this place is full of the

curse’s power?”

Walganus shook his head and said, “I don’t know. Besides, I’m not interested in knowing about the

origin of the curse. I only want to know the location of Sangria’s Imperial Jade Seal.”

Wearing a bitter smile, James said, “I too wish to know the whereabouts of the

Imperial Jade Seal. But, this city alone is huge, not to mention the size of the entire

Barren Wasteland. How are we supposed to search for the Imperial Jade Seal?”

At that moment, Walganus suddenly turned around and stared straight ahead.

However, there was nothing there.

James turned around and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Wearing a grim expression, Walganus said, “I sensed something watching me.”

James scanned his surroundings. The city was completely desolate. How would anyone be watching

them?

“Maybe you’re mistaken?” James asked.

“No, absolutely not. There was certainly something watching me just now.” Walganus’ expression was

grim. There was no way he was mistaken.

“How creepy.”

James looked at the desolate city that had been uninhabited for many years as a chill ran down his

spine.

Seeing there was nothing behind him, Walganus turned around and looked straight ahead, saying,

“Let’s walk around.”

James nodded. “Sure.”
