Chapter 2136
Right now, in order to save the empire and her family, she needed James to return with her. “S-Sir.” Laelia could
not bear to wait any longer and had to speak up.
Her voice shook James from his thoughts. He opened his eyes slightly to look at Laelia and asked quietly, “What’s
the matter, Your Highness?”
There was a hint of pleading in Laelia’s slightly awkward face. She said, “When I escaped from the capital, the
capital was already surrounded by Dark Keep’s cultivators. It has been three days since then. 1-I’m worried that the
capital has met with misfortune.”
“So, you want to hurry back immediately?” James glanced at Laelia.
He could see that Laelia was very anxious, however he was also calculating. Could he use Laelia’s anxiety and

Laelia was unaware of the Burial Jade’s history, but he knew about it. It was something that even the creator of the
Celestial Abode had laboriously sought after.
“Yes.” Without regard for her appearance, Laelia immediately knelt on the ground. With a pleading look on her
pretty face, she said, “Sir, please set out for Tabal’s capital right away and save the Targwyn family. If you can
actually save my family, the Targwyn family will definitely repay you.”
The more worried and anxious Laelia became, the more indifferent James acted.
He wanted the Burial Jade. However, he could not be too obvious about it.
James wanted Laelia to take out the Burial Jade and give it to him voluntarily.
“Your Highness, it’s been three days. If anything were to happen to the Targwyn family, it would have happened
already.”
“But…” Laelia was extremely anxious.
James interrupted her with a small wave. He said, “Don’t worry. It’ll be alright. We’ll leave at dawn.”
Laelia let out a sigh of resignation.
James continued to rest with his eyes closed. He was secretly disappointed as well.
Why did Laelia not give him the Burial Jade and beg him to leave immediately?
Regardless, Laelia stopped asking after that, so he said nothing. He could not show his greed for the Burial Jade.
In the dead of night, the breeze blew in the forest, making the branches rustle.
James was sitting on the ground in the lotus position, absorbing Empyrean Spiritual Energy and cultivating.
The Land of Tabal had little Empyrean Spiritual Energy. It was significantly weaker than Earth, which had recovered
Spiritual Energy. No wonder there were not any truly terrifying
cultivators.

quickly.
Seconds and minutes passed.
For Laelia, every second seemed to last forever. She finally got through the night.
As soon as it was daybreak, Laelia eagerly appeared in front of James, who was concentrating
on his cultivation, and woke him up. “Sir, i-it’s dawn. Can we set out now?”
“Is it daybreak yet?”
James stood up and exhaled a mouthful of impurities.
“Mhm, it’s daybreak. Let’s hurry and go,” Laelia said anxiously.
“Okay,” James spoke softly.
“Do you think it would be so easy to leave?”
A voice suddenly rang out.
