Chapter 4666

About tens of thousands of cultivators were gathered inside Mount Taerl’s main hall.

In the highest seat of the hall was a man with slightly curly hair who donned a red robe. He had a

domineering aura, but his face was pale as a sheet.

The man solemnly said, “These monsters will not be easy to deal with. We only just repelled them, but

they’ve already launched another attack. Moreover, they’ve come with a greater number this time.

What’s even worse is they’re stronger than before. We’ll have to prepare for a long fight.”

“Sir, we should call for support. With our city’s current strength, it’s simply impossible to resist them.”

“Call for support? Who can we call?”

“Countless cities within our universe have been destroyed. Meanwhile, the other powerful cities nearby

have already been surrounded by monsters. They can barely protect themselves, so how will they

support us?”

Many in the hall expressed their opinions with solemn expressions.

James overheard their discussion when he arrived outside the hall.

He learned that the city had been attacked by these

monsters quite frequently. Moreover, Taerl City was not the only one targeted by these monsters. In

fact, all other cities in the universe were under attack. It was possible other universes were also being

attacked.

James frowned upon learning the details.

He firmly believed he was not just within a made-up illusion and suspected these events had happened

in a specific period of the past. These monsters must have destroyed Taerl City. However, its condition

before destruction was recorded and projected into the trial.

At that moment, James walked into the hall. He immediately became the focus of attention as he

walked in.

“Leave them to me,” James spoke while walking.

His words stunned everyone in the hall.

The man in the highest seat stood up, looked at him, and asked, “Who are you?”

James replied casually, “That’s not important.”

He firmly believed he was in a projection of a past event. Thus, the living beings would not remember

him, and his actions would not change the actual outcome of the city.

James boldly walked to the highest seat and sat down under everyone’s aghast expressions.

“Presumptuous!!!”

A loud shout resounded in the hall.

“The highest seat belongs to the city lord! How dare you sit down?”

A wrinkled old man holding a cane reprimanded his action. He raised his cane, and a powerful aura

erupted from his body, seemingly about to attack James.

“Stop.” The man in the red robe stopped him.

“Sir…” The old man wanted to speak.

However, the man in the red robe interrupted his words. He looked at the powerhouses in the hall. His

face was pale as he said, “I was wounded in the previous battle and haven’t recovered. I’m no longer

capable of fighting these monsters, let alone repelling them this time. I’m no longer qualified to be Taerl

City’s Lord. Whoever saves this city shall take over.”

Everyone immediately stared at James, curious about his identity. Nobody had seen him before, and

they doubted his reliability.

James sat in the highest seat, looked at everyone, and said lazily, “I’ll be in charge of Mount Taerl and

Taerl City from now onward. I want to know about the city’s strength, so prepare a report on the

strength of the city’s powerhouses and army for me.”
