“Yeah.”Tapio said, “That person was the Celestial Sect’s leader. She wielded the Malevolent Sword, which was left by the Prince of Orchid Mountain in the Snow Caverns of Mount Thunder Sect.Hearing this, the person behind the curtain fell silent.After a while, the person spoke, “Alright, you don’t need to worry about her. I’ll personally deal with matters related to the Celestial Sect.”“Understood. I’ll take my leave now.”Tapio stood up and quickly left the mountains behind.…While Thea stalked Tapio, James had already driven a great distance.Half a day later, they returned to the Southern Plains.Southern Plains City, Black Dragon Palace.Although James did not stay in the Black Dragon Palace, it was his residence in the Southern Plains, and there were cleaners who regularly tidied up the place.In the living room, James looked at Delilah sitting opposite him and looked her in the eyes. “What happened when you were captured?”Delilah opened and closed her mouth for a
However, she did not refuse her father’s wishes.James was a powerful martial artist as well as a man of outstanding character.At least for now, she had not found any shortcomings in James.Any woman would fall for a man like him.She was no exception.Whether it was for her own personal motive or for the sect, she wanted to get closer to James.James also contemplated the idea.Delainey made a good point.Since Tapio was Delainey’s eldest brother and a former disciple of the Mount Thunder sect, he would surely appear again if Delainey stayed in the Capital.Using Delainey’s relationship with him, he could find out more about the person who had dispatched him.Tapio was immensely powerful, so the person behind him was definitely…James could not imagine, nor did he dare to think about it.Thinking of these, James could not help but shudder and take a deep breath.“I’d also like to figure out the identity of the person behind Tapio. I can tell he isn’t a cruel person. Othe
Judging from Thomas’ ability to access the Snow Cavern of Mount Thunder Sect easily, Thea was certain that Simon must have taught him the Spiritual Palm.Thea was perplexed by why Thomas taught her the Spiritual Art, knowing full well it was a wretched martial art technique.What exactly was Thomas’ motive?Thea had never doubted Thomas before because everything he had done in the past was for James’ sake.She wracked her brains but could not figure out why he would teach her Spiritual Art and why he reassured her that it was not evil.Thea recalled Thomas saying that there was no such thing as evil martial arts, only evil intentions.A person with a wicked heart would turn to the path of evil even while practicing righteous martial art techniques.These thoughts flashed through Thea’s mind.She took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it.Turning to James, she asked, “How did your body react to the palm attack?”James thought for a while and said, “There wasn’t much of
Delilah said, “Since the accident happened to my dad’s company, he vanished. I never saw him again, and even my mom didn’t know anything. If I knew anything, my mom wouldn’t have died so horrifically.”James said softly as he cast his gaze downward, “My condolences.”“It’s alright.” Delilah forced a smile.She went through a lot during this period and has now come to terms with it.It was a blessing that she was still alive.Thea noticed the strange atmosphere between them and promptly asked, “Honey, when will you make a move?”James thought for a while and answered, “I should hurry up since things might start changing if I procrastinate. I’ll head to the military region to check on the situation first. I need to clean up the Red Flame Army and eliminate all the moles within. After uniting the army, I’ll start taking action.”“Alright.”Thea nodded silently.“Delilah, you can live here for the time being. It’s absolutely safe, and no one will harm you.”“Mhm. Thank you, James
Graydon stood with a dazed look for a few seconds before the situation sunk in for him.He glanced at James and chortled haughtily, “Are you kidding me, James?”In response to Graydon’s incredulous statement, James let out a smug chuckle.He smiled brightly and said, “Henceforth, you’re no longer the deputy commander of the Red Flame Army.”“Haha…”This time, Graydon laughed in response.“James, have you not understood the situation yet? Although you’re the commander of the Red Flame Army, you’re just occupying an empty seat. Who can you command in the Red Flame Army? Which of these soldiers will listen to your orders? In the Capital, you no longer have the authority to enforce the law.”Graydon was well apprised of the situation in the Capital.The Capital had been divided into several factions.However, among these factions, none of them stood by James’ side.“You think too highly of yourself, James. Just because you’re the Dragon King and commander of the Red Flame Army, y
Then, he had no choice but to borrow the strength of ancient martial artists too.Among the ancient martial artists he knew, the only ones with whom he had a good relationship were those from the Mount Thunder Sect.He immediately pulled out his phone and called Delainey from the Mount Thunder Sect.Delainey had left her contact number before she returned home. At that moment, Delainey was walking side by side with Jackson at the leeward of the mountain of the Mount Thunder Sect.Delainey recited the events that happened at the Mount Thunder Sect in the Southern Plains and the encounter with her brother, Tapio.Upon hearing her narration of the events, Jackson’s expression turned serious.“Is Tapio so strong already?”With a solemn expression, he said slowly, “It seems he had encountered many things in the past ten years. Although he’s a marital art genius, he still has to work hard to improve his strength. He couldn’t have entered the eighth rank in less than a hundred years
After contemplating for some time, Jackson decided to side with James.He made the decision after careful consideration.After Delainey got permission, she immediately said, “Alright. I’ll immediately lead the disciples to the Capital and meet up with James.”“Okay, go.”Jackson slightly waved his hands.Now, he could only watch James handle the situation.“I hope you don’t let me down, James,” Jackson murmured.…Meanwhile, James, in the Red Flame Army base in the Capital, smiled at Nathaniel and Henry after calling Delainey.He said, “It’s settled. The Mount Thunder Sect will send one thousand disciples to support me soon. These one thousand disciples are all martial artists and can surely stand against the Phantom Army.”His expression darkened, and he said coldly, “If the Phantom Army dares to stop me, I’ll get rid of them.Henry and Nathaniel looked at James.They knew James meant business this time and that he was not just joking.James took a deep breath and ordered
James leaned on the bed, and before he knew it, he was fast asleep.He slept for a long time and was woken up.“James, wake up…”James opened his eyes and picked up his phone. He looked and saw that it was already six in the evening. He could not help asking, “What’s wrong?”Thea said, “There’s a visitor outside saying he has something to discuss with you.”“Who?”James turned around and got out of bed.Thea replied, “I don’t know.”“Alright. I’ll go out and have a look.”James got dressed, walked out of the room, and entered the living room.Sitting in the living room was a man in his sixties. He was a slightly chubby man dressed in a brown suit with short hair and a beard.James walked over suspiciously and inquired, “You are?”The person sitting on the sofa stood up immediately and said with a smile, “Hello, Emperor. I’m White Eagle, the Left Envoy of the Celestial Sect. My friends in the martial art world call me by the nickname Eagle King.”White Eagle beamed with a b
