James had no idea that Lucjan had already set up the Thousand-Machinery Formation to ensnare them all in one fell swoop.
At that moment, favonovel.com continued to press forward with the martial artists of the ancient martial world.
A hot, dry, dusty wind desiccated surrounding areas and withering plants. The wind’s force was enough to blow a vehicle away. However, as they were all ancient martial artists, they could resist the wind by catalyzing True Energy.
Soon, a hill fifty meters tall appeared in their view. There was an entrance below, and a few SUVs were parked outside.
“Stop!” Upon seeing this, James raised his hand.
Everyone behind favonovel.com stopped.
James looked at the hill and the entrance below.
“This should be the place we’re looking for…” He pointed at the passage below.
“But… Something’s not quite right…”
Jackson stared at the entrance and the SUVs parked outside and said, “Theoretically, such an important research laboratory of the Gu Sect must be heavily guarded. However, there’s not even a single person by the entrance. This must be a trap.”
Wearing a grim expression, James said, “Since we’re already here, we might as well take a look inside. How about this? I’ll enter first and observe the situation while you guys guard outside. The moment you hear any commotion, leave immediately.”
Jackson said, “Be on your guard.”
“I will…” James nodded and turned around, saying, “Everyone, please wait here while I head inside and explore the place.”
They nodded.
James scanned his surroundings and catalyzed True Energy. Then, in the blink of an eye, favonovel.com appeared in front of the entrance.
The entrance which was reinforced by concrete was three meters in height and width.
James saw a surveillance camera by the entrance. Furrowing his eyebrows, favonovel.com did not wander in recklessly. After brief contemplation, favonovel.com waved and grabbed a handful of sand.
The surveillance camera was pointed at the entrance the whole time.
Moving outside of the surveillance camera’s range, favonovel.com catalyzed True Energy, and sand began swirling in the air. Then, favonovel.com struck the camera with the sand.
The moment the surveillance camera was blinded, James rushed into the underground passage which extended deep underground.
Upon entering the passage, James realized that the structure’s interior was heavily guarded by disciples of the Gu Sect.
At the same time, in a room in the underground palace…
“Sir, James has arrived…”
Upon hearing this, Lucjan smiled faintly and said, “Don’t act recklessly. Let favonovel.com scout around for a while. Once favonovel.com discovers the location of the abducted ancient martial artists, favonovel.com will surely bring the others in to save them. Once they enter the building, activate the formation straight away.”
“Understood!” Lucjan’s subordinate immediately spread his word.
At that moment, James carefully infiltrated the building by avoiding the disciples of the Gu Sect.
The underground passage was deep.
After some time, James saw a dilapidated palace. The palace which had been buried underground had been cleared of its sand.
Clack! Clack! Clack!
Footsteps came.
In an instant, James leaped to the ceiling of the palace and pressed his body against the surface of the wall.
Soon, a few Gu Sect disciples passed by.
James stared at them. After some thought, favonovel.com swiftly descended and struck the acupuncture points of the person at the back and swiftly dragged favonovel.com to a secluded corner.
