Chapter 1343
Henry was stunned by James' order. “James, do you really want me to come with you? That hardly seems appropriate. My command over the Red Flame Army is not yet stable, and some of the older soldiers aren’t listening to me yet. Who’ll be in command of the Red Flame Army if I leave now?”“I already have a plan. Things in the Capital are extremely tenuous now and it’s on the verge of descending into chaos. Since it’s come to this, let’s spur things on a little more and leave together. When we get back, we can give the Red Flame Army some much-needed spring cleaning,” James said with a knowing smile.James wanted to use this as an opportunity to see who from the Red Flame Army would step out and incite conflict while he and Henry were away.He had a suspicion that someone would attempt to allow Halvor to escape during their absence.Fortunately, Halvor had outlived his usefulness.He would just be a means for James to take action against the army’s dissidents.It would mean that Jame

James had been running around the whole day.It was already night when he returned to the courtyard house that Thea had bought.Due to how busy he was, he had not had dinner.When he arrived home, he plopped onto the sofa and felt like staying there forever.Thea walked over, sat beside him, and held his arm, saying, “You’ve worked hard today.”“It wasn’t anything particularly strenuous. I’ve been meditating in seclusion in my room for two months, so I haven’t gotten used to running around again. By the way, where’s Quincy?”James had not seen Quincy after returning home.Thea immediately explained, “I didn’t chase her away. I asked her to stay here with us for the time being, but she insisted it was inconvenient and said that she’d get her own place.”James frowned.The situation in the Capital was volatile, and Quincy was essential to their plans.“Honey, please believe me. I truly didn’t chase her away. Should I call her to ask her to come back right now?” Thea felt wronge

James picked Thea up in his arms and walked toward their bedroom.Thea wrapped her arms around James’ neck.The night passed by silently.Early the next morning, James was awoken by the sound of his phone ringing.He turned around and got out of bed. As he was about to reach out for his phone, Thea handed it to him.James looked at the caller and saw that the call had come from the King.He answered the phone. “Has the trip to Durandal been finalized?”“Yes.”The King laughed heartily as he spoke, “I spoke to the queen of Durandal last night and mentioned your request. She is pleased and welcomes the elite soldiers of Sol to her country. I’ve already ironed out the details of this collaboration. It’s set to take place in five days’ time. The entire meeting will be held for a week. I’ve arranged for someone to contact you and apprise you of the detailed itinerary later.”“Alright.”James hung up the call and set his phone aside.Beside him, Thea asked, “When are you leaving,

Maxine knew that Thea would surely take action. Thus, Maxine wanted to know more about what she had in mind so she could provide any assistance if Thea needed it.“Thea, you don’t have to be so hostile toward me. I’m just here to see if there’s any way I can help you,” said Maxine.In James' presence, Thea treated her with grace and generosity.However, when they were alone, Thea was prickly and cagey towards Maxine. It was as if she had some deep-seated grudge towards her.Thea looked at Maxine and said, “We’ll talk inside.”She turned around and went back inside the room.Maxine followed after her.Inside the room, Maxine asked, “You’re carrying the Malevolent Sword, so I’m assuming you must be planning quite the journey. What are you planning to do?”Thea replied in a straightforward manner, “The ancient martial world is in disarray. James is already biting off more than he can chew. He cannot afford to spend time on unnecessary distractions. Therefore, I plan to help him

On the plane, James taught Henry the meditation method recorded in the medical book.Meditation was the quickest way to concentrate one’s energy.Henry was relatively strong in External Martial Arts. Although he had not reached the extreme, he was at the cusp of it.His physical fitness was also much more honed than a regular person’s.After learning the meditation method, Henry would be able to amass his True Energy in a month’s time.Once he’s able to accomplish that, he would be able to start practicing Heavenly Breath.While teaching Henry the meditation method, James also passed on the cultivation method of Heavenly Breath.As James traveled to Durandal, many people dressed in black coats and masks gathered in an empty field near Mount Thunder Sect. The place was a suburb a few kilometers away from Terentville.Whoosh!A figure descended from the sky.The person wore an oversized black coat and had a hideous mask covering her face. In their hand, they held a mysterious

Mount Thunder Sect’s forces were already in a defensive formation and were on high alert ever since they received Celestial Sect’s declaration. It seemed as if they were preparing to fight against a formidable enemy.The Mount Thunder Sect members gathered in the main hall all immediately drew their weapons upon learning that men from Celestial Sect had appeared at the foot of the mountain.“This isn’t the time to act carelessly.” Jackson promptly stopped them.“Mr. Cabral, we’re already backed into a corner. Do you expect us to wait until they attack our base before we begin to fight back?” an elder retorted furiously.Jackson waved his hand to quiet him. “The Celestial Sect has been making some bold moves during this period. I’ve already deployed people to investigate them. Although they recruited many sects and families, it seems that they left innocent people unharmed. They sent us a letter to notify us of their visit so let’s see what they have to say first.”Jackson stepped

A sharp sound rang out as the elder’s sword collided with the Malevolent Sword.The elder, a fifth-rank grandmaster, felt a fearsome force sweep toward him the moment their swords collided. Immediately afterward, his body was flung away by the shock and he fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.Several disciples rushed over to help him up.Jackson looked at the events unfold with furrowed brows and his lips tightened into a thin line.The strength of the Celestial Sect’s leader had exceeded his expectations.“Are you really doing this for the benefit of Sol’s martial world?” Jackson looked doubtfully at Thea, who was wearing a mask.“Yes.”Thea parted her lips and said plainly, “I’m sure you have an idea of the threat that looms over Sol’s martial world. The Capital’s affairs are like a muddy quagmire, and the situation at Orient Commerce is also chaotic. Meanwhile, the Gu Sect is lying in wait for an opportunity. To add to all this, the election is soon upon us.

Her movements were too fast.No one in Mount Thunder Sect was capable of clearly seeing her movements.It took Jackson a long time to compose himself after his initial shock.“I admit defeat.”Upon hearing Jackson’s surrender, Thea sheathed her sword.In a split second, she returned to her original spot again.Jackson looked at Thea, who was still donning her ghoulish mask and said, “Although I’ve lost, I can’t allow Mount Thunder Sect to merge with Celestial Sect. If you want to kill me, go ahead. I won’t fight back.”“Do you think I’m afraid to take your life?” Thea regarded him ruthlessly.In the next instant, she appeared before Jackson and pressed the blade of the unsheathed Malevolent Sword against his chest once more.Jackson remained unfazed even as he was being threatened by the Celestial Sect’s leader.He said, “I’ll admit my strength is inferior to yours. However, I won’t allow Mount Thunder Sect to bow to other forces. Disciples of Mount Thunder Sect, heed my word
