Chapter 5376
James had suffered various degrees of severe injuries.
The cracks and wounds found in different parts of James' body would require a long time
to be fully healed. Even his soul was so tattered that it looked as though his soul might
break and disappear at any moment.
James felt light-headed at that point.
After using the little strength he had left to say those words to Yui, James began
concentrating on healing his injuries.
He did not access the powers of the Ulus. Instead, James used his own powers to heal the
wounds.
'This might be a good thing for him," Latrusse whispered to Lemuel, "For his body,
overwhelming damage or shock to it can help his body and soul bond better."
"I'm just glad he's still alive." Lemuel let out a sigh of relief.
A small frown creased Yui's forehead as he stared pensively at James. It was impossible to
tell what was going through Yui's head.

One of the Yeftero elders went up to Yui and said in an almost inaudible voice, "Sir Yui, we
should use this opportunity and get rid of that man now. Then, we can head into the
Glaciem Holy Land and exterminate the princess right away."
The Holy Celestial Rank cultivators from the Suunteli Race
and Zoltrumm Race walked over to the pair as well.
"Sir Yui, we never said anything about allowing him the time to heal his injuries during the
bet."
"It's the perfect time for us to make our move now that he's severely wounded. We
shouldn't waste any more time here."
Unlike the others, Yuvin commented, "We should honor our words since we agreed to the
bet. Besides, that man is no ordinary cultivator. He comes from the Theognostos and
probably has the backing of a Transcendental Bliss Rank cultivator. If we go back on our
word and kill him now, can we bear the consequences when the cultivators from the
Theognostos come looking for us to avenge his death?"
Yui nodded. "Mhm. He's right. We'll allow him the time to heal his injuries. Then, I'll kill him

with the third hit. Even if those from the Theognostos wanted to argue about it, we could
tell them we did it fair and square."
The stories James made up about the Temple of Theognostos were effective in making Yui
feel wary about James' background.
Upon hearing Yui's words, the Suunteli and Zoltrumm cultivators fell silent and stood at
the side.
Meanwhile, Qairo had teleported and reappeared next to James to protect him while James
was trying to heal his wounds.
Qairo had received the orders from Qiyana to follow James’ instructions for now. If anyone
were to try to attack James, he would do everything in his power to protect James' life.
As the days went by, James' condition did not seem to improve much.
On the other hand, the cultivators from the Four Ancient Races had run out of patience.
"Sir Yui, we can't wait for that man any longer. The Glaciem Race's princess must be
conducting her closed-door meditation inside their holy land, and she must be close to
finishing it. Her powers and capabilities are not inferior to yours. It’ll be bad news for the

Four Ancient Races if she succeeds in completing her training."
"Sir Yui, we mustn't forget about our mission because of the bet with this man."
"Exactly. We won't kill him. Instead, we'll head straight into the Glaciem Holy Land and
hunt down the princess right away."
While those men tried to persuade Yui to take action, Lemuel and Latrusse teleported
toward where James and Qairo were.
Latrusse asked, "What’s the matter? You've had enough waiting?"
Lemuel said frigidly, "You've agreed to the bet previously.
Are you going to go back on your word now?"
Yui stared at those three men standing in the distance with a slight frown on his forehead.
He said, "I’ll handle those two men. The rest of you should eliminate that puppet.”
Yui decided not to wait any longer.
He had heard rumors about how the princess of the Glaciem Race was a talented
cultivator. Yui would lose the best opportunity to exterminate her if they happened to let
her get away and go into hiding this time.
As soon as Yui moved, Lemuel and Latrusse teleported toward him as well.
Yui was a genius cultivator with exceptional powers.
