Chapter 928
Two figures appeared—one old and one young. The old figure and a man with neat white hair dressed in baggy white clothes.Meanwhile, the young figure was a woman with long black hair in her twenties, dressed in a black skirt.“Sir Caden, why did you bring me here?” the woman asked.The old man looked at the mountain ahead. It was a bare mountain with smoke billowing at the top.He pointed to the mountain ahead and said, “This is a volcanic crater that often spews lava. I came here to find a special fruit.”The two people were Tobias and Thea.Thea already knew that the location was a volcanic crater because she could feel the heat as soon as they approached it. Even though it was winter and the weather was relatively cold, the surrounding area was scorching, causing sweat beads to appear on her pretty face.She asked perplexedly, “Why are you looking for a fruit?”Thomas explained, “The fruit I'm looking for is the Sacred Fire Fig, and it only grows near volcanoes. The fruit

James had successfully cultivated his True Energy again. Moreover, he had constantly absorbed the Cold Energy from Cynthia’s body, allowing his True Energy to increase rapidly. In just half a day, he had reached the peak of the first rank and was only one step away from the second rank.Although Cynthia’s physique was extraordinary, the Cold Energy within her body was limited and had to be regenerated every day. During the past few days, Maxine had also discharged a portion from her body.Therefore, James would have to wait a few days before he could absorb more.After James headed downstairs, Cynthia dressed and went downstairs with Maxine.In the living room…Maxine said, “Next, I’ll personally teach Cynthia martial arts. She was a unique physique, and as long as her comprehension is decent, her cultivation rate wouldn’t be inferior to yours.”“Indeed.” James nodded. Then, he said, “Her body is like a perpetual motion machine that will continuously generate Cold Energy. As long

The Blithe King smiled and said, “Why’re you telling me this? You can’t even decide for yourself, so how would I know? You think too highly of me.”“Then tell me, should I stand on the country’s side, the King or the Cadens?” asked James.The Blithe King shook his head again. These were questions that he could not answer.“Why’re you thinking about it soo much? You’ll just have to take one step at a time. Let’s have a couple of drinks! I’ll ask Daniel to join us.”The Blithe King understood that James was in a dilemma. Although he was unaware of the grievances and conflict between the Ancient Four in the Capital, he had heard about the Four Ancient Paintings before. Thirty years ago, there was an internal conflict in the Cadens. Additionally, the Cadens’ villa was burned in flames ten years ago. These were things he had recently learned about James.However, he was unable to give James any advice as an outsider.He got up, looked at the dazed James, and shouted, “What’re you

James turned around but did not sense anyone dangerous.He mumbled, perplexed, “What’s going on? What is this terrifying sensation?”Thinking he had too much to drink, he shook his head and continued walking forward. However, after a short walk, the terrifying sensation returned. It was uncomfortable, like being watched by a venomous snake. This time, he ignored it and continued on his way. He took a few steps before turning around abruptly.The moment James turned around, he saw countless people behind him.Among them was a man in a black overcoat and black hat. He was about fifty years old. His facial features were ordinary, the kind that one would forget after a quick glance.Regardless, James sensed a threat emanating from him. It was like a venomous snake, ready to strike and bite at any moment.Two sets of eyes locked on each other.The man in the black overcoat raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly. Immediately afterward, he turned and walked away.James

“You should go. Is there any reason not to?”Maxine said, “You said it yourself that the person who gave you the letter was extremely powerful and could’ve killed you with a single move. So, if he didn't kill you and even left you a message, there must be a reason. We'll find out what his purpose is when you get there. Besides, I'll join you."She was not actually concerned about his safety and believed that going to Mount Arclens would not put James in danger.He would have gotten into trouble today if it had been dangerous. The opponent did not have to wait until they had led him to Mount Arclens to strike.“Okay.” James nodded and said, “The photograph revealed a lot of information. I simply need to go and take a look.”“I’ll get some plane tickets for you right now,” said Cynthia.As she spoke, she took out her phone to book the flights.James and Maxine, on the other hand, were having a discussion. They were speculating about who had sent them the photograph.Despite a len

Thomas came here to search for the Sacred Fire Fig, but he did not expect to come across a centenary fire snake. The gall of the fire snake was a tonic for martial artists.However, his strength had already reached a point where using external means to increase it would be futile. Even the gall of a centenary fire snake would not help him much.On the other hand, giving it to Thea would boost her strength significantly. With only a snake gall, a third-rank powerhouse was trained.“Oh, that’s right. Why do you want to lead James here, Grandfather? Isn't it fine if I just bring back the Sacred Fire Fig?" Thea inquired. She was aware of Thomas' plan to lead James here.Thomas glanced at her and said, “How would you explain it if you just brought it back? It isn't the right time yet. I don't want James to find out about my existence, and I especially don't want outsiders to speculate about it.”“But James is already suspicious of you.”“That’s why I’m leading him here.” Thomas gave a

“We’re already here. We should go even if it’s dangerous.”James walked straight into the cavern.Maxine wore a defeated expression. 'He's been blinded by love. If he continues to be reckless, he might lose his life.'Still, she followed him.The entrance to the cavern was small, but once inside, it stretched in all directions. The deeper they went, the hotter it grew.Even for James and Maxine, who were martial artists, it was becoming unbearable.They had no choice but to use True Energy to combat the intense heat in the cavern, yet even then, they were both still sweating profusely. Their clothes were soon soaked with sweat.“It’s so hot.” Maxine fanned her face with her hand and tugged at her sweat-soaked clothes that clung to her skin.James took out another water bottle and handed it to Maxine, saying, “Drink some…”At that moment, he saw what Maxine was doing when he turned around to hand over the water bottle. He noticed her tugging at her clothes, fanning the insides

The moment Thomas spoke, James knew he was his grandfather.The same grandfather who adored him since he was a child.He knelt on the ground, staring at the bottomless pit in front of him, and sobbed uncontrollably.Scenes from his childhood flooded back to him.He remembered sitting on his grandfather's lap while his grandfather taught him ancient language and the fundamentals of Solean Medicine.In the fire at the Cadens' ten years ago, he was helpless. He heard the Cadens howling and roaring in agony, but he could not do anything.In the end, it was Thea who rushed in and saved him.Ten years later, he was still helpless and witnessed his grandfather's fall into the bottomless pit with his own eyes.“Damn it.”James stood up, veins bulging on his face, and stared unwaveringly at the black-robe figure on the rock across from him.Maxine was concerned that James would lose control and grabbed him just in time. “James, don’t be reckless. Thea is still dangling there,” she adv
