James steepled his fingers on his lap and said, “Mhm, I’ll try my best to find Delilah and see if I can use her to get her stepfather to cooperate with us.”“It’d be best to do that as soon as possible.”Quincy did not have much to say about the matter.She just hoped James could get it done quickly.Orient Commerce was already developing at a blinding pace, and it would be difficult to take them down if it became a massive force.“I still have other things to do, so I’ll take my leave.”Quincy picked up her bag on the table and prepared to leave.She had specifically visited because Thea called, saying James had returned. Quincy wanted to report her progress to him.“Alright. I owe you a meal when I have some spare time.”James did not hold her back from leaving.Quincy turned around and left the house.After she left, Thea asked, “Have you met with Maxine?”“Yes. I’ve already met up with her and we chatted for a while.” James nodded, but upon remembering Maxine’s flirtati

“Would you like me to go with you?” Thea asked for James’ opinion and tilted her head to the side.She was worried about James.Although he was an eighth-ranked grandmaster and had considerable strength, there were quite a number of eighth-ranked grandmasters aside from him in Sol. These people’s strength must have also increased significantly with the Spirit Turtle’s core. Thea was worried James would get injured at Mt. Thunder Pass in the Southern Plains.“That won’t be necessary. You can just stay here at home and wait for me to return.” James placed his hands on Thea’s shoulders and reassured her, “I promise I’ll do whatever it takes to survive and I’ll be extra careful no matter what happens.”“Alright.”Thea gave him a small nod.Although she did not say anything else, she had already secretly decided to follow him and provide him assistance in critical situations where necessary.She wrapped her arms around James’ head, tiptoed, and leaned into James’ lips.James embra

When James arrived at Mount Thunder Sect, it was already past eleven at night.Around that time, most of Mount Thunder Sect’s disciples were already asleep except for those guarding the mountain.James was brought to Mount Thunder Sect’ reception hall.“Mr. Caden, wait here for a moment. I’ll go to notify the sect leader.”“Alright.” James nodded and sat down.After he sat down, a female disciple walked over with tea and set it on the table in front of James.Meanwhile, the disciples that led James into the reception hall hurried off to inform Jackson.James patiently waited in Mount Thunder Sect’s reception hall for ten minutes.“Haha, James…”A cheerful voice resounded from inside.Following the voice, a middle-aged man in a white robe walked toward the reception hall. That person was the current leader of Mount Thunder Sect, Jackson.James stood up and returned his amicable greeting, “Mr. Cabral.”“Sit.”Jackson gestured to the chairs and sat down. He looked at James an

Jackson nodded and said, “If our Grand Sect Leader was right, the Celestial Sect’s leader that challenged us that day was your grandfather, Thomas. Your grandfather is probably the only person in the entire world who has the strength to defeat our Grand Sect Leader.”James tried to organize his thoughts.‘Grandpa?’ thought James.James found that idea highly improbable.He had come in contact with Celestial Sect’s leader several times.Although the sect leader wore a mask, he could smell perfume on them, and their arms were also not as toned as a male would be.Despite their efforts to disguise their voice by making it sound deep and raspy, it was still distinguishable as that of an actual man.“I highly doubt it.”James said skeptically, “While I was in Mount Olympus, the leader of the Celestial Sect and my grandfather appeared almost around the same time. My grandfather appeared right as Celestial Sect’s leader left. That doesn’t make sense unless my grandfather resorts to cl

Meanwhile, Delainey was still awake in the library located in Mount Thunder Sect’s wing building.For some reason, she had been restless recently. She tossed and turned in bed but could not fall asleep, so she headed to the library to read for a bit.She stared absent-mindedly at the open page of a book she had taken for a long time.Click-clack!She suddenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching her.Delainey was sitting on a chair on the library’s third floor. Upon hearing the footsteps, she raised her head and turned to the source of the sound.She immediately put down the book she was holding, stood up, and gave a respectful greeting, “Dad.”“Mhm.”Jackson nodded in acknowledgment as he walked over. He sat down beside her and looked at the book on the table.“Are you still reading this book?”“Mhm.”Delainey picked up the book she had set on the table.The thick book’s cover was slightly worn. A few ancient words were written on the cover—Legends of the Millenia.Th

“I understand.”Delainey nodded lightly, stood up, and said, “I’ll return to my room to get ready. Then, I’ll go with James to the Southern Plains.”“It’s good that you’re such an astute child.”There were no other words that needed to be exchanged between the two.Delainey picked up the book on the table, turned around, and left the library.…James had been waiting for about 20 minutes in Mount Thunder Sect’s reception hall.20 minutes later, Jackson walked back into the hall with a woman.The woman was relatively young and looked like she was in her early twenties.Mount Thunder Sect was covered with snow all year round, and the temperature was relatively low. Despite the cold, the woman only wore a white dress, and her long black hair danced in the breeze.Her face was fair and her cheeks were rosy.She followed behind Jackson as they entered the reception hall. They stopped in front of James. The woman crossed her hands to the right side of her lower abdomen and elegant

James’ private plane did not leave and had been waiting for him the entire time.After leaving Mount Thunder Sect, James boarded the plane once more and headed to the Southern Plains.On the plane, Delainey sat beside him in a ladylike manner and was focused on reading the thick historical book in her hands.James and Delainey were sitting less than a meter apart.James threw a casual glance at the woman next to him and found himself interested in this so-called living encyclopedia of the ancient martial world. He had met Delainey a few times but had hardly spoken to her.“Whar are you reading?”James observed her for a while and could not help asking out of curiosity.Hearing his question, Delainey put down the book and gave James a smile.Her brilliant white teeth shone through her lips, and her two shallow dimples were visible. Her lovely smile was enough to melt anyone’s heart.“It’s a book written by Mount Thunder Sect.”Delainey explained, “Since the history of our se
Chapter 1449
The region outside the Martial Heaven Continent was called the Wilderness.“Do you know a man that goes by Polaris?”Delainey nodded. “Yes, I do. There are records of him in Mount Thunder Sect’s ancient book, but this person existed more than a thousand years ago. Our sect only records things from this millennia, so there isn’t any detailed information about him. The only thing I know is that this person constantly challenged powerful subordinates of the Prince of Orchid Mountain. Ultimately, he was bested by the Prince of Orchid Mountain, and his cultivation base was dissipated. His whereabouts have been unknown ever since, and he completely disappeared from the martial world.”After hearing Delainey talk about historic events, James was convinced that Jackson was right about her encyclopedic knowledge.She had extensive knowledge about everything there was to know about the martial world.It seemed like there was nothing she did not know.However, he never expected Mount Thunde
