Lord Zenda and Zoltan looked at each other briefly. They could tell something had happened.

Zoltan was about to ask James what was going on, but Lord Zenda stopped him.

“Several esteemed guests have arrived. I'm afraid we need to move to another room for now,” James said through clenched teeth.

Sherman and Manny led James to a smaller room connected to the hall. Lord Zenda and Zoltan quickly followed them.

Behind them, Lesia dragged Neville along and entered the room as well.

A short while later, cultivators from six holy temples came into the Haurvatat Palace.

They were a little surprised to see that no one else was there inside the hall. However, each of them soon found a seat and sat down right away.

“The members of the Haurvatat Temple always act so high and mighty. Can't they show us a little respect?”

“Well, they have someone who's a Chosen One. That's why the other temples can never compare to them.”

“Watch your mouths. We're at their temple, after all.”

“Why should 1? It's not like they can still act arrogant and superior around us now.”

“She told us to come here today. It's fine if we can settle things in a civilized way. Otherwise, we'll have to set things straight once and for all.”

While the others were talking amongst themselves, Lord Toviyyah sat with his eyes closed. It was impossible to tell what was going through his mind.

Suddenly, Lord Xandurr slammed his hand onto the table next to him and stood up. “Where the hell are the servants? Are they not even going to serve tea to their guests?”

The other cultivators exchanged glances and smirked upon seeing Lord Xandurr's outburst.

“What would you like for tea, Lord Xandurr? Should I serve it to you myself?” Everyone was slightly taken aback by a monotonous female voice coming from outside the hall.

A few seconds later, Adina appeared by the door and walked into the hall.

Those who made hateful and scornful remarks about the Haurvatat Temple earlier scrambled to their feet. Only Lord Toviyyah and Lord Tzivya remained in their seats.

Adina scrutinized the frightened and alarmed expressions on those men's faces as she walked past them. A dangerous light glinted in her eyes.

“Greetings to Lord Haurvatat!” The men bowed deeply to her.

It was obvious that they still saw Adina and the Haurvatat Temple as a force to be reckoned with.

Adina went up to the podium and turned around. “I'll be frank. I didn’t invite everyone here today for a celebration or a gathering. I've gathered all of you here to ask about a person's whereabouts.”

Her gaze drifted across all of the faces there. Everyone could feel her eyes bore into them. “The Yin governor. Which of you took her? If you come clean and release her now, the Haurvatat Temple won't take any action against you. Instead, we will reward you handsomely.

“If you decide to continue keeping her hostage and claim to have done it on the Haurvatat Temple's orders, I, Adina, will completely disregard that person as our friend and comrade once I find them.”

As soon as she said that, the other cultivators looked at each other nervously and murmured in low voices.

Just then, Lord Tzivya let out a scoff.

“Do you have something to say, Lord Tzivya?” Adina asked.

Lord Tzivya lifted her gaze and said unsmilingly, “Lord Haurvatat, you're a Chosen One. Shouldn't you say things that are more appropriate to your status?” Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
