Chapter 1201
With just a single wooden bed and a thin blanket, there was no other furniture whatsoever inside the temporarily constructed wooden house. James removed his clothes and lay on the bed. Thea then carefully treated the injuries on his back, which were caused by the impact against the wall of the cliffs. It was a bloodied mess. Even the skeleton could be seen. Thankfully, James was a seventh-ranking martial artist, and he could control the flow of blood circulating inside his body. Most ordinary people would have been long dead. Even so, he grimaced whenever Thea made the slightest contact with his injuries. Soon, Lucjan returned. Seeing the injuries on James’ back, he asked, “Are you alright, James?” James gritted his teeth. “Well, I’m still alive.” At that moment, Aphrodite and Venus handed Thea a hot towel. Thea took it and began scrubbing James’ back cautiously. Meanwhile, Lucjan took a small white bottle out and said, “I have some powder here with me. It’s good at heali

A tiny steel wire fell from James’ sleeves. Holding the steel wire on one end, it immediately disintegrated and transformed into silver needles. James ordered, “We still have time. By using Crucifier, my internal injuries will certainly recover in time. Thea, I need you to help me insert the needles.” To restore his strength, James could only rely on Crucifier. “Mhm.” Thea nodded. With the Crucifier in hand, she began inserting the needles under James’ guidance. Thea was a third-rank martial artist. All this while, she had been cultivating hard. Now, she had reached middle-stage third rank. As she now possessed powerful True Energy, she could insert many needles at once. After inserting a few needles, her True Energy was completely depleted. Under James’ guidance, she began extracting the needles. “How do you feel, Darling? Are you feeling any better?” Thea’s face was pale, and sweat beaded on her forehead. Though she was feeling weak, she could not care less about

It was Maxine. Maxine knew that James had saved Thea. After some hesitation, she decided to visit them. “I heard James is injured, so I’m here to pay him a visit.” Maxine’s expression was composed, as though she could not feel a sense of guilt at all. “No need.” Thea was displeased with Maxine. If not for Maxine giving her idiotic ideas, Thea would not have attacked James. James would not have been injured, and none of the ensuing problems would have arisen. “Are you trying to blame me for this, Thea?” Maxine looked at her. “You know James best. If we don’t kill him now, he’ll turn the Mount Thunder Conference upside down. Many will perish by the Gu Sect’s hands. Can you bear watching James descend into evil? How are you different from Thomas Caden decades ago?” “No matter what he does, I’ll forever stay by his side.” Slam! After she said that, Thea slammed the door shut. “What the hell?” Maxine frowned. Thea was a completely different person now. ‘Could it be?’ Max

“Alright now, you’re dismissed. I’ll go look for the Supreme Leader.” Lucjan waved slightly, and the Twelve Zodiac turned to leave. After thinking for a moment, Lucjan also turned to leave. Behind the mountain of Mount Thunder Sect… There were many manors inhabited by renowned martial artists of the ancient martial world, and Lucjan arrived at one of them. Eight masked men in black robes were standing in front of the gates. “Deputy Leader,” they greeted Lucjan respectfully. Without returning the greeting, Lucjan walked straight into the courtyard. Many people were gathered there, and all of them were wearing black robes and black masks. “Deputy Leader.” They also greeted Lucjan respectfully, but he simply walked toward a room and opened the door. Many people were gathered there. They, too, were all wearing masks. “He’s here,” came a voice. The one who spoke was a man in a black robe. However, his mask was quite unlike the others. He was wearing a red mask with

Lucjan frowned. He sincerely sought to win James over to his side and had never thought of taking advantage of him. However, since the Supreme Leader had given the order, he could not refute it. He simply nodded and said, “Got it.” “Alright now, you’re free to go.” Callan waved. Lucjan stood up and left. After leaving the courtyard, Thomas put on his mask and went in search of James. When he arrived at the door of the wooden house James was in, Aphrodite and Venus stood in his way. “Who’s there?” Thomas looked at the two. Though he was wearing a mask, his eyes were bloodshot, as if they belonged to a demon. With a simple glance, Aphrodite and Venus were rooted to the spot, petrified. Then, Thomas opened the door. James was lying on the bed. Hearing that the door was opened, he thought it was Thea, “Why are you back so soon? Did you not manage to find Grandpa?” “It’s me,” Thomas said, Upon hearing Thomas’ voice, James immediately got up and looked at the masked man

James waved slightly and said, “It’s alright. You must be tired. Get some rest for now.” He did not tell Thea that his injuries had recovered. The fewer people who knew this, the better for him. Thea was fatigued. She walked over to the bed and collapsed on it. Pulling at James, she said, “Darling, you should take a rest too.” “It’s too stuffy in here. I’m going out for a walk.” After knowing what Callan intended to do, he wanted to have a walk outside to see if he could bump into Jackson. He could try to relay the information to him and warn him to make preparations in advance. Thea hurriedly got up and said, “How can you move about when you’re injured? Everyone outside is trying to kill you. You’ll be in danger if you wander around outside.” “It’s alright,” James said smilingly. “We have entered a tacit agreement, after all. They’ll only attack me when the conference commences. Besides, I’ll just be having a stroll around these parts. Who would dare attack me with Lucjan’

“I think I accidentally fell asleep just now.” “Really? I felt the same too. It’s like my mind went blank all of a sudden.” They conversed in whispers outside, thinking that their minds momentarily went blank. They did not know that their acupuncture points were struck, and they had completely lost all of their senses. After returning to the room, James lay on the bed and slept. At the same time, at the summit of a snow-capped mountain of the Mount Thunder Sect… It was the highest peak in all of the Mount Thunder Sect. An elderly man wearing a mask arrived there. He scanned his surroundings as if searching for something. “A guest…”A voice reverberated throughout the mountains. Then, a rugged white-bearded elderly man silently appeared. The elderly man wearing a mask turned his head. “Since you’re here, there’s no need to hide your appearance.” Hearing this, the elderly man removed his mask. It was Thomas. “To think that you’re still alive, Simon Cabral.” Thoma
Chapter 1208
“Ninth-rank is the pinnacle of martial art strength. However, it’s nigh impossible to make a breakthrough into the ninth rank. With what limited lifespan humans have, it’s impossible to climb the Skyward Stairway. The Skyward Stairway of the ninth rank has never been reached by any human being. “Only by achieving immortality can one climb the Skyward Stairway and reach the ninth rank. “The Spirit Turtle has lived for many years. Once I kill it and drink its blood, I will achieve immortality and obtain enormous strength.” The more Thomas spoke, the more agitated he was. “Once I have an unlimited lifespan, I can establish a new dynasty.” “You’re insane!” Simon cried out. “I’m not insane,” Thomas corrected him. Then, he turned to look at Simon and instantly appeared before him. Looking at Simon, he asked, “Don’t you wish to attain immortality? You’re nearing your end too. Aren’t you fearful of death? Aren’t you afraid of the nothingness after death?” “Thomas, you are being
