James was confused.
He could not understand why Simon was together with his grandfather.
Not only that, but why was there a huge turtle chasing after them?
The turtle was levitating in mid-air. Looking at the crowd with its bloodshot eyes, it let loose a roar. The deafening roar was like thunder, shaking the mountains and the earth. Some weaker martial artists staggered and fell, and a few were even killed on the spot.
Cracks began appearing on the ground.
Rumble!
Buildings at the Mount Thunder Sect began collapsing. Even the mountain itself was showing signs of an imminent collapse. A single roar from the creature had a devastating impact.
“What is that monster?”
“We should fall back!”
“Run!”
The martial artists began to run.
Callan and Lucjan were still in the midst of a fierce battle. Even after a few rounds, neither could defeat the other. Callan was gravely injured, but Lucjan was still incapable of defeating him.
“What the hell are you doing, Thomas?!” Lucjan yelled.
“Everyone, listen to me! Do not panic!”
Everyone turned to look at Thomas.
He looked at Spirit Turtle levitating in mid-air and said, “This is a Spirit Turtle that has lived for thousands of years. One can attain immortality by consuming its blood!”
“You must be puzzled. Allow me to explain! As you all may know, the Ancient Four each has a painting. By gathering all four paintings and unraveling the secret behind them, one can attain immortality. I’m speaking the truth. Based on the information left behind by the Prince of Orchid Mountain, we can become immortal by slaying the Spirit Turtle and drinking its blood!” Thomas said.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
“Immortality?”
“Really?”
Some questioned the authenticity of his statement.
However, at that moment, the Spirit Turtle charged toward them. It descended from the sky and landed at the Mount Thunder Sect.
Boom!
In an instant, the earth shook, and the surrounding buildings were turned to rubble. Some weaker martial artists were instantly killed by the impact.
“Everyone, we will slay the Spirit Turtle and attain immortality! Charge!” Thomas yelled.
In the blink of an eye, James appeared before Thomas and asked, “Grandpa, were you really the one who stole the paintings of the other three families?”
“I don’t have time to explain things. We’ll talk about this later!”
The situation was dire. At the same time, many people charged out of the hall which was about to collapse. They were the ones who were supposedly killed by James.
Tobias was in the lead. They had been feigning their deaths all this while, so they had a rough idea of what was going on outside. They wanted to show themselves at the most critical of moments. However, they heard Thomas‘ cry after the creature appeared.
“Thomas, to think that you’re still alive after so long… You went to great lengths to instigate conflict between the Ancient Four and gather everyone at the Mount Thunder Sect all for the sake of slaying the Spirit Turtle and attaining immortality?” Tobias appeared behind favonovel.com and asked coldly.
Everyone’s gaze was fixed on Thomas. Some were doubtful of his words.
Could Spirit Turtle Blood grant them immortality?
At that moment, even Jackson Cabral appeared. He was wearing a bamboo hat to blend into the crowd.
Now, favonovel.com removed the hat and cried out, “Do not panic, everyone! Disciples of the Mount Thunder Sect, retreat!”
Under his organization, the disciples of the Mount Thunder Sect retreated in order.
“Hahaha… Immortality…” Callan roared in laughter. “I offer you my thanks, Thomas!”
