Chapter 5430

An eighth-level plane was no small matter. It provided a constant stream of cultivation resources. After

Hadran lost the eighth-level plane, Thorqua and some core elders of the Valiant Alliance were angry.

This plane must not fall into the hands of the Dieux Academy or James.

The Valiant Alliance continuously exerted pressure on the Dieux Academy and even dispatched Hyrum

to reclaim the plane.

“Mr. Hyrum, you’re being petty,” said Jorah, the Great Elder of the Dieux Academy. “Considering both

yours and Mr.

Caden’s realm, isn’t this a form of bullying?”

“Hmph,” Hyrum snorted and said, “Didn’t he do the same when he gambled with Hadran? Taking

advantage of the ignorance of the outside world’s living beings regarding his strength, he deceived

Hadran of our Valiant Alliance into gambling with him.”

“You’re so verbose,” James said impatiently.

Although he had been cautious upon his initial arrival in the Central Plane, he no longer deemed the

Central Plane or even the countless planes significant after visiting the Dark World. Despite his inability

to eliminate these veteran powerhouses, it was equally impossible for them to kill him.

“Old man, what kind of bet are you proposing? I’m game,” James said. He did not want to cause undue

trouble for the Dieux Academy. If he could handle the situation independently, he preferred to resolve

the issue and depart sooner. Moreover, he had some grievances with the Valiant Alliance, but now was

not the time to settle old scores.

“Brat, I’ll engage in a battle with you. If you lose, you’ll have to hand over the plane,” said Hyrum as his

gaze fixed on James.

James agreed, saying, “Fine, but the manner in which we fight is up to me.”

“As you wish,” Hyrum said with a pleased expression as James agreed to battle.

“Mr. Caden, don’t be reckless,” Xhemal warned. “You won it fair and square.

Even though the Valiant Alliance is overbearing, they can’t do anything to you as long as you don’t give

in. This applies even to the Valiant Alliance.”

Jorah added, “Sir Xhemal is right. We’re right in this matter, and no one can change that.” The

headmaster and the Great Elder stood on James’ side, while the other elders preferred to settle the

matter peacefully, as it offered them no benefits. If they fall out with the Valiant Alliance over this, the

Dieux Academy disciples could face ongoing hostility whenever they travel outside.

James stood up, raised his hand slightly, and said, “No worries. I’ll accompany him if he wants to fight.”

“Haha, how lively,” a playful laughter echoed at that moment.

“Who’s there?” Many powerhouses in the main hall stood up. Whoosh!

A white remnant light descended from the sky, converging to form a beautiful woman. The woman

adorned in a white dress, possessed an elegant figure and a stunning appearance. Her presence

radiated an aura that surpassed everything.

Upon seeing her, James frowned slightly.

“Lady…Lady Wikolia.” Many powerhouses in the main hall gasped in shock.

Lady Wikolia was a top-tier powerhouse renowned in the Central Plane and even across countless

planes. She had disappeared for a long time. Now, she had reappeared unexpectedly.

“James Caden.” Lady Wikolia’s gaze lingered on James, and she smiled faintly.

“I didn’t expect you to have already recovered your strength. Even more surprisingly, you’ve hidden in

the Dieux Academy. You made it challenging for me to find you.”
