Chapter 1217
“Malevolent Sword? Evil energy?” Thomas’ face darkened. None of this was recorded in the four paintings the Prince of Orchid Mountain left behind. Now, he had a rough idea of why the Prince of Orchid Mountain separated the paintings and gave each to the four major officials. He did not want outsiders to know about this secret. At the same time, he was reluctant to give up. He hoped that future generations would one day unravel the secret behind the four paintings, slay the Spirit Turtle, and accomplish what he could not. “What should we do now? Should we open the door?” Simon asked. Thomas was in a bind. The Spirit Turtle’s blood was horrifying. A single drop of it was enough to turn the weapon into the Malevolent Sword. Even if he could attain immortality, his mind would become deranged. Upon seeing Thomas’ reluctance, Simon knew that Thomas was still sane. At least he would not risk everything just for the sake of obtaining greater power. After a while, Thomas said, “

James reminded him, “I think we should act as soon as possible. Think about it. If we only kill Callan after he massacres everyone here, what will we gain in return? If we strike now, we’ll be applauded by everyone. After becoming the Great Grandmaster, all martial artists will obey our every command. Aren’t we killing two birds with one stone?” James was trying to coax Lucjan into acting now. He wanted to exterminate Callan, the most powerful martial artist present at the conference. “You have a point.” Lucjan nodded slightly. James’ words made sense. However, he had to proceed with caution. If he made even a single mistake, all would be lost. He had to exterminate Callan with a single strike. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire. “In that case, we should do something now,” James said anxiously. He was worried that things would go out of control if they dragged on. Once Callan was eliminated, things would proceed much more smoothly. “Don’t worry, I’ll make the arrangeme
Chapter 1219
Callan, who was wearing a mask, vomited a mouthful of blood. Although he sent his opponents flying, he was badly injured too. He staggered backward and collapsed to the ground. Immediately, he sat in a lotus position and catalyzed True Energy to suppress his internal injuries. There were thousands of thousands of people at the arena, but the venue was dead silent. Everyone was dumbfounded. Why did the Gu Sect turn against each other all of a sudden? Under the crowd’s watchful gaze, Callan slowly removed his mask. His face was pale, and there were traces of blood on his lips. Wearing a solemn expression, he glared at Lucjan. “Lucjan, I never mistreated you. How dare you…” Enraged, he roared. However, the moment he opened his mouth, he vomited a mouthful of blood. Lucjan said, “Yes… You have treated me well all these years. If not for you, I’d have been dead a long time ago. However, a century has passed, and you have lost the ambition to conquer the world. For a hundred years,

After walking for so long, they still could not find any trace of the Spirit Turtle. “How would I know?” Simon said. Although he knew of the secret here, he had never passed through the mechanisms to arrive here. “Let’s head deeper into the passageway.” Thomas could not believe that the Spirit Turtle was dead. Based on the information left behind by the Prince of Orchid, the Spirit Turtle had lived for many years. It was already three thousand years old even a millennium ago. Even if it suffered an injury, it would not die that easily. The two headed deeper into the Snow Cavern. Before long, they arrived at the deepest part of the passageway. There was a pool of water covered in a thin mist. Scanning his surroundings, Simon said, “There are no other paths.” Thomas nodded slightly and looked at the pool of water in front of him, “If the Spirit Turtle is still alive, it must have concealed itself beneath the pool.” After saying that, he waved, and catalyzed True Energy

James was confused. He could not understand why Simon was together with his grandfather. Not only that, but why was there a huge turtle chasing after them? The turtle was levitating in mid-air. Looking at the crowd with its bloodshot eyes, it let loose a roar. The deafening roar was like thunder, shaking the mountains and the earth. Some weaker martial artists staggered and fell, and a few were even killed on the spot. Cracks began appearing on the ground. Rumble! Buildings at the Mount Thunder Sect began collapsing. Even the mountain itself was showing signs of an imminent collapse. A single roar from the creature had a devastating impact. “What is that monster?” “We should fall back!” “Run!” The martial artists began to run. Callan and Lucjan were still in the midst of a fierce battle. Even after a few rounds, neither could defeat the other. Callan was gravely injured, but Lucjan was still incapable of defeating him. “What the hell are you doing, Thomas?” Lucjan
Chapter 1222
Then, Callan charged toward the Spirit Turtle. His speed was extraordinary. In the blink of an eye, he appeared on top of the Spirit Turtle. Then, raising his arm, terrifying True Energy gathered in his palm and descended from the sky, which struck the Spirit Turtle’s head. However, the Spirit Turtle had thick skin. Even though Callan’s power was great and his True Energy was unparalleled, he could not deal any substantive damage to the Spirit Turtle. After being attacked, the Spirt Turtle was enraged and slammed its tail against Callan. Callan was struck and immediately sent flying, Then, he vomited a mouthful of blood. Even before this, he was already gravely injured. Upon seeing the Spirit Turtle and hearing that its blood could grant one immortality, he hastily made a move. However, he had severely underestimated the Spirit Turtle. After being struck by its tail, his condition deteriorated. After the Spirit Turtle sent Callan flying, Thomas immediately acted. He knew that
Chapter 1223
With Bennett Caden joining the fray, there were now four eighth-rank martial artists fighting against the Spirit Turtle─Thomas Caden, Simon Cabral, Winston Blithe, and Bennett himself. Each of them stood at a corner and performed their own signature martial art skill. Four beams of True Energy struck the Spirit Turtle. However, the Spirit Turtle’s shell was impenetrable. Even eighth-rank martial artists could not even make a dent. Rumble! Powerful waves of True Energy swept the surroundings, and the nearby mountains disintegrated. Below, many lay dead. Some weaker martial artists were already dead, whereas some stronger ones were injured. Essentially, everyone below the third rank was fleeing for their lives. Watching the fierce battle in the sky, James’ face darkened. He had gone to great lengths to exterminate the Gu Sect, but he never thought that his grandfather, Thomas, would be the mastermind behind the scenes. He even gathered all the martial artists here at the Mo

All of them were injured. Some were even lying on stretchers. Looking at Jackson Cabral who was in the lead, James asked, “What happened, Sect Leader Cabral?” Wearing a grim expression, Jackson said, “We can no longer leave. An army has appeared with artilleries, tanks, armored cars, and even combat aircraft outside the Mount Thunder Sect. We were attacked while trying to flee. Many were killed.” “An army?” James and Maxine exclaimed at the same time. “Yes.” Jackson’s expression was solemn. James asked, “Which army?” Jackson shook his head. “I don’t know.” “This is obvious enough, no? This must be the King’s plot. He plans to exterminate all martial artists inside Mount Thunder Sect.” “Damn it! My ancestors once fought side by side with the Old King and performed major meritorious services. The new King plans to get rid of us all now that the nation is at peace because he’s intimidated by our martial prowess.”Many spoke exasperatedly. James frowned, “What should we
