Chapter 6068

Meanwhile, James returned to the golden palace in the Forladtt Land’s third level. His companions

immediately surrounded him after his return.

Seeing their concerned expressions, James asked, “Have you two also successfully overcome your

tribulations?”

Abelard asked suspiciously, “What’s in your hand?”

Rebelle guessed, ‘The cuckoo?”

James raised the black cuckoo’s corpse and said, “It seized the opportunity to snatch the Black Lotus

from me.”

Xitlaly asked hurriedly, “Did you get the lotus?”

James shook his head and said, “Something is really odd about the situation.

Logically, Xayvion’s cultivation rank wasn’t even at the Yuraeceon Rank. How did he steal my Black

Lotus? Why was I not able to catch up to him?”

James glanced at the cuckoo in his hand again and said, “When we reached the Hudde Passage, I

realized something.”

Rebella said calmly, “The Black Lotus isn’t his Inner Demon, but he was using his body as a host.”

Everyone present was shocked.

James pointed at Rebella and said, “Correct. I also suspect the Black Lotus isn’t my Inner Demon. It

was from a powerhouse but placed in my body like a parasite.”

He turned to Truett and asked, “Do you remember when there was a misunderstanding between Thea

and me at the Forladtt Land’s first level?”

“Yeah. That’s when you suddenly were corrupted by your Inner Demon.” Teuett nodded.

James explained, “I placed a curse on Xayvion. However, it did not work. Still, he screamed in pain. I

could tell it wasn’t an act.

“I thought Xayvion was unaffected because he was from the Dark World.

However, it worked fine when I cursed him and forced him to surrender. I was pretty confused by the

situation.

“Now that I think about it, my curse didn’t work on him the first time because he had the Black Lotus on

him.

“When I cursed him, the Black Lotus secretly entered my body. Back then, I thought my Inner Demon

corrupted me.

“After that, I kept the Black Lotus in my soul space. It did not cause any trouble because Lesia was

suppressing it. While inside my storage space, it had been with me through a few tribulations.

Moreover, it witnessed me obtain the boons on the Forladtt Land’s first and third level.”

James took a deep breath and said, “The reason why the Black Lotus can copy my Supernatural

Powers isn’t because it has a consciousness, but because someone is controlling it.”

Everyone was stunned by James’ words. They could not think of anyone who had such Supernatural

Power and was wise enough to come up with such a plan. The person placed the Black Lotus within

James’ body and copied his Supernatural Powers. Even someone like James was used by someone

else.

They could not fathom how strong the owner of the Black Lotus would become after they merged.

James threw the cuckoo’s corpse into his soul space and left it to Hemera to refine. Afterward, he

looked at everyone and said, “I also have bad news. Lyla has sealed the Hudde Passage.”

Everyone exchanged glances but did not feel surprised by the news.

James asked, ‘Hmm? Aren’t you not afraid of being unable to leave?”

Truett sneered, “Not really. If we follow you, there will be many boons and opportunities. We’d rather

stay in the Forladtt Land.”

Xatia nodded and said, “Yeah. We’re no longer afraid of the Galeat Wind with you here.”

Abelard shrugged, “It was going to be sealed sooner or later. It’s better that we’re in here. We’ll be

powerful when we leave, and nobody can fight us!”
