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.
