Chapter 2988
The mysterious old man in the black robe was the one who had been controlling Thea.
He was confused about how the Curse Power in Thea's body was removed.
Which powerhouse was capable of dispelling the curse in her body?
His mission could only succeed, and failure was not acceptable.
To revive this powerhouse, the Sanctuary of Darkness had spent a long time planning everything,
Now that someone had appeared and was interfering with their plan, the old man called for backup to ensure the
operation ran smoothly.
Soon, he received a response.
"I'll send the Twelve Furies of Heaven and Earth to help you. This mission must succeed. If you fail, don’t bother
coming back to me alive."
A voice resounded in the mysterious black-robed man's mind.
His expression immediately darkened and was terrifyingly grim.

With the Twelve Furies of Heaven and Earth helping him, regardless of who dispelled the Curse Power in Thea's
body, that person would eventually end up dead and be converted into energy to revive the powerhouse.
James did not know that his plan had been leaked and that the mastermind was already preparing for their attack.
At that moment, James had already gathered four hundred thousand powerhouses and taught them the Nine
Heavens God-Annihilating Formation. They were currently conducting a simple practice.
James knew there would be traitors hidden among them.
Therefore, he did not teach them the complete version of the Nine Heavens God-Annihilating Formation.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
After several months of training, these powerhouses had temporarily comprehended the simplified version of the
Nine Heavens God-Annihilating Formation.
At that moment, James, Thea, and Xainte gathered.
James whispered, "There must be a traitor amongst them. It's possible our operation might fail because of the
traitor."
Xainte nodded lightly and said, "The traitor must be one that spread the rumors about Mother's inheritance. He
deliberately spread the news to lure many powerhouses into this Cursed World."

James nodded and said, "Mhm. This person was able to spread rumors throughout the Eidolon Realm and the
Boundless Realm. He must be someone very influential."
Thea’s eyes scanned the powerhouses one by one.
She asked, "Who do you think it is?"
James shook his head.
He still could not determine who the traitor was.
James held back information about the Nine Heavens God- Annihilating Formation because he suspected there was
a traitor among them.
He also did not reveal his trump cards to them.
His actual trump cards were the Infinity Steles and the Five Elements of Genesis.
While he was relatively weak, he would be able to exert the true strength of the Five Elements of Genesis and the
Infinity Steles if he absorbed the power of the four hundred thousand soldiers and the other three leaders after
they completed the Nine Heavens God-Annihilating Formation.

"We can only take one step at a time."
James sighed softly.
He looked at Thea and asked, "How did you get controlled by this mysterious man?"
Thea harked back into her memories. After a while, she replied, "Back then, we entered the Boundless Realm
together but got separated, right? When I woke up, I was alone.
"I trained alone for many years. When I became strong enough, I realized we got separated while traveling through
the River of Time.
"I had no idea how I was targeted. I was put under the control of the curse when I wasn't paying attention."
James thought awhile and said, "Emperor Jabari said they might be purposely targeting us. The Heavenly Path knew
that powerhouses in the Primeval Age had left behind the Ancestral God Rank Elixir for humans. Therefore, it
deliberately left behind a powerhouse to prevent us from finding it.
"If this is the case, then the Ancestral God Rank Elixir has most likely already fallen into the enemy's hand.
"It’s going to be extremely challenging for us to obtain the Ancestral God Rank Elixir."
Obtaining the Ancestral God Rank Elixir would be much more complicated than James had imagined.
Xainte had no idea what they were discussing, so she silently sat aside and looked at them.
