Maxine looked at James worriedly and gave him a subtle sign.James loosened his tightly clenched fist.He took a deep breath and swallowed down his anger.“Are you sure? Then, why did I hear that the reason my grandpa suffered an Energy Deviation was because someone ambushed him while he was cultivating? Isn’t that the reason why he killed people from the family?”James asked calmly.“Oh, is that so? I’ve never heard such a thing,” Tobias replied puzzledly.“Do you really not know? 30 years ago, you must’ve been there when my grandpa’s cultivation base was destroyed, and he was expelled from the family. Did he not refute the decision or try to justify himself?” James looked into Tobias’ eyes and asked.Tobias simply replied, “I was indeed there when it happened. However, your grandfather didn’t explain himself. He didn’t even utter a word. Following that, he was chased out of the family and thrown out of the Cadens’ gates. His entire side of the family was also expelled along with

“Do as you please, but don’t come begging the Cadens for help if you get in trouble. We’re not here to wipe your *ss for you.”Tobias was firm in his stance of not helping James.Maxine also reminded him, “James, remember to not to make any rash decisions.”“I know. I’ll need to think about the long battle ahead… Which reminds me, I’ll need your help strategizing a plan.” “Absolutely not.”Before Maxine could answer, Tobias shot down the idea immediately. “Maxine won’t be helping you in this I’m afraid. Her assistance could be regarded as a stance from the Cadens themselves, which will result in us getting dragged into unnecessary political conflict.”“Is that what you think?”James smirked faintly and replied, “From the moment you rescued me, the Cadens have already gotten themselves involved in this matter. Your family are no longer able to stand in the sidelines as innocent bystanders. If not, the Cadens wouldn’t have gotten caught up in so many incidents. Tobias, I know tha

“James, this is your chance. The Cadens’ library contains countless martial art skills. This includes the best sword technique in the world, the Thirteen Heavenly Swords. If you master that, it’d be a stretch to call you invincible but there won’t be many people who can stand against you.”Maxine beamed as she chattered excitedly to James.Tobias was optimistic about James’ potential. Despite James' thinly-veiled hostility toward him, he still allowed James to visit the family’s library.This was not the first time that James had heard about the Thirteen Heavenly Swords.The sword technique intrigued him.“Alright. I’ll make use this opportunity to take a look.”“I’ll lead you there then.”Maxine stood up and made a gesture inviting him to leave with her.James stood up and followed Maxine deeper into the vast backyard.After they spent a long time walking, he saw a solitary wooden house.Maxine paused and whispered, “Do you see that wooden house over there, James?”James no

As expected of the Grand Patriarch of the Cadens.Even Tobias could not sense his True Energy, but Bennett quickly caught on the moment they met.James did not hide the truth from the Grand Patriarch.He also guessed that Bennett knew and had a good relationship with his teacher, Spencer.“I was captured and brought to the Blithes. I met a senior martial artist in the Blithes’ underground prison named Spencer. He did not have much time left so he passed on his True Energy to me after learning that I’m a descendant of the Cadens.”“I see.”Bennett’s eyes widened in shock when he heard this. He let out a sad sigh. “I never thought he’d leave ahead of me. Since he has finally passed on, do you know who’s the eighth-rank grandmaster in the Blithe family?”He had no idea and chose not to dwell on it for too long.Bennett looked at James and clapped him on the back cheerily. “You’re not bad, young man. I’m heartened that the Cadens will have a wonderful successor. By the way, you’re

“Have you finished looking through it?” asked Bennett.James straightened himself and looked at Bennett who had a smile of delight on his face. He nodded and said, “Yes, I’m done.”“Now, tell me what you’ve learned after reading it once.”James contemplated for a momet and opened his mouth. “This swordsmanship technique is extremely profound. It’s not just a simple technique and can be divided into two parts. The first is swordsmanship, and the second is about using one’s energy to control the sword. The key is to be able to move at blinding speeds. One’s swordsmanship has to be rapid for the energy’s speed to increase in turn. The sword acts as a medium for True Energy to become Sword Energy. The Thirteen Sword Realms represent the Thirteen Sword Energies.”James explained his understanding of the techniques recorded in the book.He was not able to articulate everything precisely, but he had a rough grasp of the concept.“That’s right.”Bennett stood up with his hands crossed b

James had been singlemindedly practicing the sword technique for the past ten days. His dedication intrigued Tobias. He has secretly watched him for several days and noticed James’ rapid progress. James had already mastered the First Sword Realm in a span of less than ten days.“This boy is without a doubt talented in martial arts. It took me several years to barely master the First Sword Realm, yet it only took him ten days.” Tobias was slightly concerned about the rapid pace of James’ progress.He left silently after having observed James for quite some time.Tobias needed to meditate in seclusion in preparation for the upcoming Mount Thunder Conference.A figure flitted through the backyard under the night sky.James moved rapidly as he fluidly executed a number of elaborate sword techniques.After practicing each move at least once, he sat down to take a break.Clap! Clap! Clap! The sudden crisp applause broke the silence in the backyard.Bennett approached him with a b

With Bennett’s guidance, James mastered the First and Second Sword Realm of the Thirteen Heavenly Swords. In other words, he had officially entered the sixth rank with this.He was one of the few people who were able to attain such strength at his age.James thanked Bennett profusely.Bennett waved his hand in dismissal and lightly said, “That’s enough. You should go. All I ask is you come visit me whenever you’re free.”James did not say anything else. He turned and left.He had been staying in the backyard of the Cadens' mansion for the past month and had not walked around the front yard at all. Over the past month, he had absolutely no idea about what had happened in the outside world.As soon as he left the backyard and approached the front, he heard people arguing.He looked in the direction of the commotion. A good number of people were gathered outside a room. “Maxine, do you know what you’ve done?!”“You blatantly ignored our family’s rules and broke them. The famil

“This is preposterous!” The elder Caden shouted.His booming voice was deafening. It rocked everyone present as if it were a clap of thunder.Even Maxine was taken aback by his outburst.James glanced at the elder and said calmly, “What do you want?”The elder narrowed his eyes. “In accordance with our family rules, the lightest punishment for those who enter the library without permission is the removal of their cultivation base and the subsequent expulsion from our family. The more severe punishment states that offenders are to be killed on the spot.”“Try to kill her if you dare.” James' expression darkened and he returned the elder’s hateful glare.Maxine pulled James to the side and whispered, “James, just leave me be. I’ve violated the family’s rules by sneaking into the library. Just let them punish me.”“It’s good that you acknowledge your own sins. Since we’re all aware of your crime, I will be the one to abolish your cultivation and expel you from the family.The elde
