Chapter 4069
James nodded.
There was not much he could do at the moment. He followed the congregated army and rushed outside of Mount
Carslergh. At that moment, thousands of soldiers had already assembled outside Mount Carslegh and were
surrounding a human.
The human was an old man dressed in a yellow robe. He held a horsetail whisk in his hand and emitted a
domineering aura. At the same time, his eyes were filled with murderous rage. He repeatedly waved his whisk, and
a powerful force swept forward, forcing the soldiers to retreat.
All the powerhouses in Hopeless City participated in the battle, even the Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral Gods and
Quasi Acmeans. Hutchin had also personally come to join the fight.
The old man was barely managing to defend against all of their attacks. However, it was evident he would not last

Suddenly, a black cloud appeared in the sky. An old man in a black robe stepped off the cloud. Although he had a
full head of white hair, he had a ruddy complexion.
He looked below him with a menacing expression and ordered coldly, "Don't kill him! I want him captured alive!
We'll interrogate him about the Heaven-Eradicating Sect's headquarters so we can wipe them out once and for all."
James had already appeared outside of Mount Carslergh. Seeing the old man that emerged from the cloud, he
frowned. The old man was none other than Saturio's grandfather, Tobias. After Bruce killed Saturio, Tobias began to
amass information about the Heaven-Eradicating Sect and destroyed a few of their bases in the Soul Realm.
Tobias was highly regarded among the Soul Race, and he was very powerful. James learned from Balchae's
memories that Tobias was an Acmean.
'Damn it! Why is Tobias also here?'
James cursed out in his heart.
If it were just a few Quasi Acmeans and Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral Gods, it would still be possible for him to
save the Heaven-Eradicating Sect's Deputy Leader and escape. Now that Tobias, an Acmean, had shown up, it
would be tough for them to escape quietly.
"What has Dahlia been doing? Didn’t I tell her to find him as soon as possible and stop him from acting? Why has he
appeared outside Mount Carslegh now?"
James had a grim expression. He began contemplating whether he should intervene and reveal himself. Now that
the enemy was distracted, he could easily leave without a trace.
However, the Heaven-Eradicating Sect’s Deputy Leader might die as a result. Even if he survived, he would end up
captured. If that happened, James would have to come up with another plan to save him.
If he joined forces with the deputy leader right now and avoided staying on the battlefield for too long, they might
have a chance to escape.
"Where is Dahlia right now?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis priority was to find Dahlia and get her out safely first. The deputy leader should be able to hold out for a while
longer with his strength.
James did not immediately join the fight. Instead, he skirted around the battlefield and entered the Hopeless City.
Then, he began to look for Dahlia's aura.
Since he taught her the cultivation method to hide her aura, James naturally had a way of finding her. It did not take
long before he found Dahlia in a desolate area of Hopeless City.
At that moment, Dahlia was watching the fight outside of Mount Carslegh. Seeing her granduncle fighting so many
enemies, she looked worried.
James appeared in front of her with Balchae's appearance. Dahlia quickly grabbed James’ hand and apologized,
"I'm sorry. I couldn’t find him in time. By the time I located him, he was already engaged in battle with the Soul
Race's powerhouses. Please save him."
James waved his hand and said, "I’ll think of something to save him. You should get away from the Soul Realm first.
I’m worried they might seal off their planet. If that happens, none of us will be able to escape."
