Chapter 5708
James returned to the humans' Heavenly Court. However, he found them besieged by a
group of powerhouse.
An army and some powerhouses from the Human Race gathered outside the South
Heaven Gate.
Thea stood at the forefront, staring coldly at the many creatures besieging the Heavenly
Court.
Swoosh!
At that moment, a light descended from the sky, and a man emerged before the humans.
"James!"
"Dad!"
Everyone called out to him.

James looked at the armed humans behind him, nodded lightly, then looked at the
opponents.
He unleashed his Zen and found that they were really powerful. Amongst them was
someone at the Transcendental Bliss Rank with great achievements.
James glared at them and asked, "Why are you attacking us? Who are you people?"
A man walked out of the group, stared at James, and replied, "We were ordered to capture
Thea."
James frowned and asked, "Capture Thea? By who? Why do you want to capture her?"
'These are questions you shouldn't ask. We're under orders and aren't here to kill anyone.
If you're sensible, please step away."
Thea stepped forward and said, "They're too strong, James. I'll go with them..."
James waved his hand, motioning for her to step back.

The group's captain explained, 'We're Theognostos from the Halcyon Road. We've been
ordered to capture her."
'Theognostos from the Halcyon Road?” James was confused.
He thought Theognostos was a bluff he had made up. While he was weak, he made a fake
illusion of Theognostos to scare off other major races of the Dark World.
He could not believe Theognostos was real and even appeared outside the Heavenly
Court.
After a brief confusion, James replied, 'Go back and tell your master that he'll have to
come in person to capture her."
"You're seeking death, young man."
James stared at the man and learned he was at the Transcendental Bliss Rank's third
stage. Despite that, he was not a match for James.
"Do you need me to use violence?" James glared at him.
'You must have a death wish."

The man’s face darkened, and he suddenly took a step forward. The surroundings began
to tremble, and it seemed like the sky was about to fall.
He summoned a long sword and slashed at James with terrifying force.
The powerhouses standing behind James felt the powerful force and were immediately
knocked away.
James stood firmly in place, and some mysterious inscriptions appeared on the surface of
his body to block the attack.
The attack struck the inscriptions, but James was unscathed.
"Obsidian Body?" The man exclaimed, then stepped away.
He immediately ordered, "Retreat!"
The group surrounding the Heavenly Court quickly fled.
The Heavenly Court was about to face a crisis, but James easily resolved it.
Thea rushed over and asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"
The other humans also approached. James turned to them and said, "I'm fine. Everyone
should head back first." "Okay."
