Chapter 6838
In the Thirty-Third Heaven, just outside the Kronosia Realm, a burst of purple-golden appeared.
Shortly after, a mysterious woman with an elegant silhouette appeared. Her appearance was
concealed by a black veil.
She observed a mass of swirling black-and-white air before her. After a while, she took a deep breath.
"Gather."
As her command resounded, multiple beams of light flickered in the void, and several mysterious
figures cloaked in black assembled behind her.
They discarded their cloaks one by one and unveiled their true identities. Had James been there, he
would have been furious.
These were the powerhouses whom James had once liberated from the Great Historial Land to serve
as guardians over the Sky Bridge and the Genesis Worlds.
Among them stood prominent figures such as Toviyyah from the Toviyyah Temple, Zoltán from the
Zazen Temple, Ysanne from the Dynastia Temple, and Neville from the Haurvatat Temple.
noveldramaInfluenced by Adina, they had chosen to betray James and side with Yehria and Zymurgy.
They participated in Adina's scheme and imprisoned Yegor, Zenda, Hugard, and Quintia. Additionally,
they captured many of James' close acquaintances from the Sky Bridge, Skynett, Forladtt Land, and
Yin World, according to the list Yehria had provided.
Toviyyah questioned, "Where's the Tai Chi? We've already completed her orders. She ought to meet
US in person.”
Zoltán snorted, "Exactly. She’s a supreme being, but so are we. We should be treated as equals. Why
should we tolerate her arrogant behavior?"
Ysanne smiled and said, "Be patient, my friends. Since we're here, she will come to see US."
Neville raised his head and said, "I’m not concerned about your negotiations. However, I want Zenda
and Quintia. I intend to have my form of amusement with them."
As Neville’s words slipped out, Adina swiftly shot him a sharp glare. "Shut up, Neville." Neville retorted, "What’s your problem? Zenda is Zoltan's sister, no? Zoltán has long forsaken family
ties in pursuit of his cultivation. He doesn't care..."
His voice trailed off, catching a hostile glare from Zoltán.
Adina raised her hand and interjected, "Please be patient. If you wish to meet Tai Chi, you should show
sincerity. Remember, she desperately needs the beings you’ve captured.”
The powerhouses exchanged glances but showed no intention to act.
They had captured beings Tai Chi wanted, which was their leverage against her. If they were to hand
them over now, they would lose their bargaining power.
Noticing their hesitance, Adina sighed deeply and suddenly produced a shimmering token.
"Do you see what this is?"
Toviyyah and the others glanced up, their expressions instantly shifting.
"It’s Emperor Qadeer's Token." A wave of awe swept through the group, and they promptly knelt.
"Now that you know Emperor Qadeer supports the Tai Chi, what is there to fear? Even I'm negotiating
with you out of courtesy. You can't possibly be thinking of resisting Emperor Qadeer, right?" Adina's
eyes gleamed with a triumphant spark as she blatantly threatened them.
Realization dawned on Toviyyah and the others as they exchanged weary glances, their heads sinking
in frustration. They understood that the promises Adina had made were likely lies, mere tools of
manipulation.
From the moment they had left the Sky Bridge to enter the Tai Chi World, they had been unwitting
pawns in a larger game.
"Fine. I'll hand them over.” Neville was the first to break the tension. He stepped forward, waved his
hand, and expelled a few Jademora Empire’s higher-ups from his spatial storage.
