Chapter 5434

Lemuel had a grim expression on his face as well.

He had rushed back to the Dieux Academy as quickly as he could after hearing the news. However, the

representative from the Yefteros managed to arrive at the academy within that short amount of time.

Also, Lemuel was aware that Halianor had reached the peak of the late stage of the Holy Celestial

Rank. Halianor was close to achieving the Consummation Holy Celestial Rank soon.

Still, Lemuel was certain he could survive Halianor’s attacks in an all-out battle.

Unfortunately, they were situated at the Dieux Academy at the moment. Even though Lemuel had the

skills and powers to protect himself, he would not be able to ensure the safety of everyone at the

academy simultaneously.

Moreover, a battle between cultivators of their level would completely annihilate the Dieux Academy.

Lemuel was set on preventing that at all costs.

“Forty-nine… Or should I call you James Caden?” Halianor levitated in mid-air and fixed James with a

contemptuous gaze. “Will you come with me willingly?

Or should I force you to comply?”

James glanced furtively in Lemuel’s direction. He could tell Lemuel had no intention of starting a fight

with Halianor.

James was aware of both men’s powers and capabilities. He knew the academy and its members

would have to suffer the aftermath if a battle broke out there.

“What is it that you want, old man?” James heaved a deep breath and asked.

There was no point in James denying Halianor’s claims since Yui must have made it back to the

Yefteros’ territory and told them what happened.

Also, Halianor had probably heard Lady Wikolia’s words and found out about James’ real identity.

“Follow me back to the Yefteros’ territory, and you’ll be brought to trial.”

James let out a scoff. “You want me to go on a trial held by the Yefteros? Are you sure your people

really want that? I’m afraid the Yefteros may have to face dire consequences if the news gets to my

people at Theognostos.”

James brought up Theognostos again in his desperation. He was also racking his brain to come up

with a way to escape.

Halianor was clearly there to capture James. The Dieux Academy would no longer face risks of being

destroyed if James could get as far away as possible from their universe.

Meanwhile, the other members of Dieux Academy dared not even move a muscle upon sensing the

threatening aura emanated by Halianor.

They had no idea who the Primevals were or where they came from. Moreover, they had no clue what

James did in the Dark World. Even if some of them wanted to try and speak out for James, they could

not do anything as they were completely overpowered by Halianor’s aura.

“You won’t be able to intimidate me by mentioning Theognostos. You killed thirty-six of our best men.

Even the leader of Theognostos would have to offer my people an explanation for this brutal

massacre.”

Halianor did not feel threatened by James’ mentions of Theognostos in the slightest.

No one could verify the existence of Theognostos so far. Therefore, Halianor was seriously considering

capturing James to confirm his claims.

If Theognostos truly existed, their members would show up at the Yefteros’ territory to rescue James.

If they did not, then the Yefteros could get rid of James for good.

Halianor lifted his hand and generated a massive formation that spanned the entire Dieux Academy in

the air.

He could wipe out everyone in the Dieux Academy by activating the formation with a simple snap of his

fingers. Not a single soul would be left within the area except for Lemuel and James.

“Oh my god! What cultivation rank does the man have to be emanating such powers?!”

“How on earth did Forty-nine incur the wrath of a man like that?”

The members of the Dieux Academy were shuddering uncontrollably as they sensed the powers of the

deadly formation.

They could feel their body and soul slowly breaking due to the immense pressure coming from the

formation.
