These rules were the reason martial arts had died down.However, it was also a good thing for society. It would be difficult to manage a country if everyone practiced martial arts.The Blithe King opened his heart to James, sharing about his wife’s incident.James listened attentively to him.Soon, Blake arrived.In the military region, dozens of helicopters were ready in an open field.James looked at Blake and asked, “So, where are your treasures, Blake?”Blake replied with a smile, “It’s in a natural cavern in Mount White. I spent a lot of effort to move everything there.”James nodded and looked at the Blithe King with a smile. “Blithe King, I need one more favor from you.”“With our relationship, you can just tell me, and I’ll do my best to help.”James said, “Thea wants to undergo military training for some time. Could you arrange for that?”“Thea?”The Blithe King turned to Thea in disbelief.Thea had delicate and fair skin, and she looked incredibly fragile. The

Mount White was within a mountain range in Sol. It was a natural forest with no residents nearby.At an open field in Mount White...One after another, more than a dozen helicopters landed.James was the first to get off the helicopter.Blake followed closely behind him.Daniel and the soldiers accompanying him also alighted.James scanned the surrounding environment.Mountains completely surrounded them. At a glance, there were densely packed trees and steep mountain peaks. There was no end to the view. James could not help questioning, “So, Mr. Blake, where exactly did you hide them?”“You’re being too formal, James. You should stick with calling me Blake. You make our relationship sound so distant,” Blake replied humbly. He felt unworthy of being addressed with such high regard since he was more or less like a subordinate.Blake pointed to the mountain range ahead and said, “It’s under that mountain.”He paused for a moment and continued, “Back then, I had hidden all this

Tobias had confidence in the Cadens’ influence.Since he had made a statement to warn the forces, he believed no one would harm James.He knew what James was doing but did not want to interfere or provide help.Helping James would be tantamount to helping Mr. Lee, and others would think he had picked a side.However, he could not take a stand before the martial art conference.His actions would influence the whole situation, and all forces would quickly pick their sides. This was not something he wanted to happen.“Will there really be no danger?” Maxine frowned. “I’ve met Madelyn a few times. Although she’s young, she’s a scheming girl who resorts to cunning means. Moreover, she’s the one who’s been secretly making suggestions to Mr. Gabriel. It might’ve been her plan to use James’ hands to kill the Emperor so that she could stir up the situation. After accomplishing her goal, James will no longer be useful to her, and she might take unexpected actions.”“What’s wrong? Are you

Mount White.Blake had hidden his treasure in a location surrounded by steep mountains and dense forests. There was no flat ground for helicopters to land.Thus, the helicopters had to land slightly far away from the exact location.The forest roads were difficult to traverse as they were covered in plants and tree roots. While advancing, the team had to constantly cut and chop off whatever was in their way.The journey was supposed to take five hours, but James and his party took eight to nine hours.It was already dark when they reached the cavern’s vicinity.Blake pointed at the cavern’s entrance and said, “It’s inside. Should we transport them tonight or rest for the night?”“Can we transport them all at once?” James asked.Blake looked at the hundred soldiers accompanying them and nodded. “Probably.”James thought about it for a while.The mountain roads were challenging to span, especially at night. He did not want to exhaust the soldiers. Hence, he said, “Let’s rest he

Soon, a soldier walked over with a hare and handed it to James. “Dragon General, we just caught this hare. We’ve already cleaned it. You can roast it right away. It tastes incredible!”James took it and said with a smile, “Thank you.”“You’re welcome.” The soldier quickly left after passing James the hare.James strung the rabbit and looked at Blake, asking, “Blake, why don’t you enlighten me about what happened a hundred years ago?”Blake looked at him and said, “I’ve already told you what I know. Although I’m a descendant of the Davises from the Gu Sect, I don’t know much about what happened a hundred years ago. I only know a little from what my grandfather told me when I was younger.”“You don’t know the details?”“I don’t.” Blake shook his head.Since Blake was clueless, James did not press the topic anymore.The two chatted about some other things instead.“Who’s there?!” James suddenly shouted.His voice caught everyone’s attention.The soldiers stood up instantly and

Maxine froze at his question. After a few seconds, she nodded and replied, “Yeah. Grandpa arranged the marriage.”James said, “I’ve heard about the Blithes. They used to be a sect that declined into a martial family and almost died down. Fortunately, they had a talented martial artist that revitalized the family. They’ve maintained a low profile all this while, but they’re actually a powerful family and are on par with the Ancient Four. Does this mean that Tobias is trying to win their support during the martial art conference?”“Yes.” Maxine nodded and said, “The three families are pointing fingers at the Cadens. We’re being besieged and need a strong ally. The Blithes are a good choice, and the means of winning them is marriage.”James frowned and said, “In this time and age, how are such practices still happening? Why do we sacrifice someone’s happiness for the family’s benefit?”“I agree.” Maxine looked at James. She pouted and said, “Let’s not talk about this anymore. What we

Blake stared at Maxine enviously and exclaimed, “I-Is this the strength of a grandmaster?! She has such strong energy surging from her!”Madelyn glanced at Maxine and smiled condescendingly. “I heard you’re smart and tactical. Since you knew I was coming to Mount White, why didn’t you consider the consequences beforehand?“Oh, wait. I get it. You knew of the consequences but still chose to come. I’ll fulfill your wish, then!”Madelyn suddenly smiled and snapped her fingers.Suddenly, four men jumped down from a few big trees and appeared before them.“The Four Guardians!”The change in Maxine’s facial expression was almost indiscernible.“Attack!” An evil smile crept onto Madelyn’s face as she ordered, “Kill everyone except for Maxine and James!”“How dare you?!” James took a sudden step forward and stood in front of Maxine. Then, he glared at the middle-aged men and Madelyn.The four ordinary-looking men were dressed in black robes, radiating strong auras. Their charisma alon

James knew that Madelyn did not intend to kill him but only wanted to use the soldiers to threaten him.“Of course, I’ll keep my word.” Madelyn smiled and whispered to the four middle-aged men beside her, “Don’t go all out on him. We can’t kill him.”The Four Guardians nodded.Immediately, one of them stepped forward.He raised his arms, and a powerful force surrounded him, causing the fallen leaves around him to flutter in the air.A lot of fallen leaves gathered and rotated together into an energy ball.He stared at James and said, “Are you ready, James?”James closed his eyes. He concentrated on the Invincible Body Siddhi recorded in the medical book.James knew that he could not sustain four blows from the Four Guardians, but for the sake of the Blithe Army’s soldiers, he had to.He circulated his energy and channeled it throughout the meridians of his body.James’ complexion showed slight changes, turning slightly bronzy.“Hmm?” Seeing the changes in James’ complexion,
