”I have restored thirty percent of my strength.” Callan said, “The main battlefield shouldn’t be in the Capital. The Capital is merely Lucjan’s battlefield. He must have obtained a core. Six months have passed, and he may have refined it. If he did, his strength must have reached even greater heights. I’ll return to the Capital for now. Meanwhile, you should remain in Cansington to refine the core.” Though he had only regained thirty percent of his strength, this was power unrivaled even among top-notch grandmasters. “Sure.” James nodded. He would be at ease if Callan returned to the Capital. “That traitorous Lucjan…” Callan’s face darkened, and he said coldly, “I was the one who saved his life. If not for me, he would have perished in the battle of the Gu Sect. I didn’t expect him to resort to underhanded tactics and ambushed me. However, he underestimated me. Or else, I really would have died in his hands.” James looked at him and asked, “What do you plan to do after return
Chapter 1305
Quincy turned to leave with the medical formulas with Scarlett following close behind. Only Thea, Cynthia, and Tiara remained. Thea asked, “Darling, when are we going to the Capital?” James said, “The situation in the Capital is still stable. I plan to go there after I’ve refined the Spirit Turtle’s core. I’m curious to see if I can cross into the eighth rank.” “Why don’t I go to the Capital first and meet up with Maxine? I can look into the current situation of the ancient martial world while I’m at it.” Ever since the Mount Thunder Conference, all the sects of the ancient martial world suffered heavy casualties. Even now, no news came. Thea wanted to help James, and the situation in the ancient martial world was key. “Will you be fine though?” James looked at her puzzledly. Thea was in extraordinary circumstances at the moment. The Spirit Turtle’s blood inside her body had greatly boosted her strength. It was enough to make her experience Energy Deviation, so he was w
Chapter 1306
Strong desires emerged when James began absorbing and refining the Spirit Turtle’s core. Immediately, he stopped in time. After a brief moment, he pulled his phone out and called Thea, who was on her way to the airport. Seeing that James called her, she murmured, “Did something happen?” “So this is what happened, Thea. While I was absorbing the Spirit Turtle’s core, my blood churned, and powerful desires began appearing in my mind. I believe it’s the same thing as your Spirit Turtle blood, so I’d like you to send me the Ataraxia that you cultivate. I hope that it can negate the negative impact of the cultivation,” James explained. “Sure,” Thea said, “I’ll send it to you once I’ve made the necessary arrangements.” “Got it.” James hung up the phone. Meanwhile, after thinking for a moment, Thea typed down the cultivation method of Ataraxia and sent it to James. After receiving the message, he began researching Ataraxia. Once he finished looking through it, he was lost in t

“Oh? Cooperation?” Yasmine Lee, Matriarch of the Lees glanced at Maxine and smirked, “How do you plan to cooperate with us?” Maxine said, “The Ancient Four should technically be secluded from the outside world, but the fact of the matter is we are all involved in business dealings with the outside world. As far as I know, the Lees’ businesses have been making losses recently. Although the risk of bankruptcy is minimal, it’s apparent that your businesses are currently facing a liquidity crunch.” “Hmph!” Yasmine smiled slightly. “The Lees have never concerned ourselves with the business dealings with the outside world. Besides, we’re not short of money. We have accumulated a great fortune over the past few years. Even if all of our businesses go bankrupt, we can still survive for centuries.” At that moment, Maxine’s phone rang. “Excuse me for a moment.” Maxine pulled out her phone and walked somewhere else. Seeing that it was Thea who called, she murmured, “What’s wrong, Thea
Chapter 1308
Thea’s words sent a shiver down Maxine’s spine. She did not expect Thea to say such a thing. “Thea?” She looked at her, puzzled. Thea smiled. “I was just kidding. But Maxine, you have to work harder. Enemies on all sides surround James. He can only live in peace only when everything is resolved. Otherwise, he won’t be able to live a comfortable life.” “I know.” Maxine did not think much about Thea’s remarks. Instead, she said dejectedly, “I really want to help James. I really tried... But I’m too weak. No one in the Cadens will willingly accept me as family head. There’s also Luca to worry about…” Maxine sighed deeply. Thea remained silent. Although she disliked Maxine, she knew that Maxine was an intelligent woman. With her help, James would be able to have breathing room. Besides, she could tell that Maxine had a crush on James. As long as Maxine was able to secure her position as the family head, they should be able to win over many sects and families of the ancient mart

“Luca Caden?” Noah froze. “Mhm.” Thea nodded. “I want to know everything about him before sunset. You’re dismissed.” “Understood.” Noah did not linger for long and turned to leave. Once he left the hotel room, his body went limp. After a long while, he stood up wearing a grim expression. He was weighing his options and whether he should reveal Thea’s orders to the Leader. However, after thinking about it, he believed that this should not be anything serious. Thus, he decided against telling him. Then, he swiftly left and began investigating Luca Caden. Meanwhile, Thea waited in the hotel. Noah was efficient. Soon, he returned. “Young Mistress, here’s everything you need.” Thea took the documents and scrutinized them. Luca Caden was a son of Bennett Caden and an uncle of Thomas and Tobias. After failing to compete against Lorenzo for the position of Patriarch, he left the Capital when he was defeated and had only returned recently. The information showed that Luc
Chapter 1310
The Cadens were all Luca’s confidants, whom he brought from the Caden household in the Southern Ridge. They accompanied him to the Southern Ridge after he failed to seize the position of Patriarch long ago. Some were Cadens from the Capital who were led by Karson Caden. They were displeased with Maxine being the family head. That was why they followed Luca. Around thirty of them gathered and discussed how best to deal with Maxine and expel her from the Cadens. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew the door open. Many looked at the opened door with puzzled expressions on their faces. Just as a Caden youth was about to close the door… Swish! The youth staggered back and fell. “A ghost!” he screamed. A ghost-masked person appeared outside the door. The ghost mask was covered with blood, which would petrify anyone who took a glimpse of it. Meanwhile, the ghost-masked person was wearing a black overcoat, while holding a long sword in her hand. “Who dares intrude on the Cadens?”

Then, Luca roared in laughter at the ignorance of the person before him. At the same time, it was a self-deprecating laugh. So long had he concealed himself from the world that even petty, insignificant people were ordering him to submit to them. In an instant, his face darkened, and he raised his hand to point his finger at Thea. “Allow me to see if you have what it takes to make me submit to you.” The moment he finished uttering those words, the four experts under his command stepped forward. They were all sixth-rank grandmasters. When they combined forces, they were as powerful as any seventh-rank grandmasters out there. Four waves of energy struck. “Die,” Thea spoke in a hoarse voice. Raising the Malevolent Sword, horrifying Sword Energy burst forth. In an instant, the windows shattered and the Cadens were sent flying. Meanwhile, the four experts could not even approach Thea. Even Luca was stunned. The awe-inspiring power induced fear in his heart, which completely de
