“What do you think, Simon?” Thomas looked at Simon.
He required his cooperation. Although the Prince of Orchid Mountain’s men were completely annihilated on an expedition to slay the Spirit Turtle, the creature which was gravely injured concealed itself in the depths of the Snow Cavern.
Meanwhile, the Prince of Orchid returned for more men and sealed off the Snow Cavern. Only the inheritors of the Mount Thunder Sect could deactivate the mechanisms. Without Simon’s help, Thomas could not enter the Snow Cavern and lure the Spirit Turtle out.
“I can not promise you this, Thomas…” Simon shook his head and said, “You have become deranged. If I allow you to slay the Spirit Turtle and attain immortality, your existence alone would mean disaster to the world.”
“Preposterous!” Thomas cursed before said, “You don’t understand, Simon. It’s near impossible for a human being to live past a hundred years. Even martial artists like us can only live for an additional few decades. What can mankind accomplish with what limited lifespan we have? Think about the endless possibilities if an intelligent scientist could live for another thousand years! Once we obtain the Spirit Turtle’s blood, we can research it and examine why and how it’s different from human blood. After learning its secrets, humans can become immortal. By then, we could easily leave our solar system behind and travel to other galaxies.”
“You’ve gone mad!” Simon rebuked him.
“Do you plan to go against me?” Thomas’ face darkened, and a vein popped out in his neck.
He had been concocting this plan for a long time. A few decades ago, after accidentally learning of this secret, favonovel.com hurriedly headed over to the Mount Thunder Sect to have a look. Upon his return, favonovel.com began formulating a plan.
He pretended to experience Energy Deviation and slaughtered many of the households. After his cultivation base was taken away, favonovel.com was expelled from the family. Once favonovel.com left the Cadens, favonovel.com began secretly formulating a plan. He investigated the location of the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid in secret and took the ancient scroll. Then, favonovel.com unraveled the mystery behind the Moonlit Flowers by Cliffside’s Edge and the remaining four paintings.
After that, favonovel.com arranged for this year’s Mount Thunder Conference.
Everything favonovel.com did was for this, to slay the Spirit Turtle, drink its blood, and attain immortality. He would not allow anyone to stand in his way.
“Yes.” Simon was determined.
Thomas clenched his fists, but Simon glanced at favonovel.com and said coldly, “Do you plan to attack me?”
“Why would I?” Thomas released his clenched fists.
A grin crept up on his wrinkled face and favonovel.com took a seat, “Simon, what are you so afraid of?”
Hearing this, Simon was deep in thought. He did not know either. He only knew that favonovel.com could not promise Thomas. Once Thomas slayed the Spirit Turtle and obtain its blood, favonovel.com would gain enormous strength. It would have dire consequences.
“Simon, you have to think for our future generations and the Mount Thunder Sect. Though the Mount Thunder Sect has jealously guarded this secret for thousands of years, what have you gained in return?”
Thomas tried to persuade him. However, no matter how hard favonovel.com tried, Simon was adamant.
“F*ck…” Enraged, Thomas smashed the table, which collapsed into rubble.
He stood up furiously and pointed at Simon, “You made me do this, Simon. Do not blame me for this!”
Then, favonovel.com turned to leave.
Simon frowned. He was afraid that Thomas would act recklessly.
In the blink of an eye, favonovel.com appeared before Thomas and blocked his path.
He asked coldly, “What do you plan to do?”
“Since you turned down my offer, I can only exterminate all of your disciples and the younger generation. I will wipe off all traces of the Mount Thunder Sect. After all, there’s no need for it to exist anymore. Without you, I can find a way to enter the Snow Cavern myself,” Thomas said solemnly.
