Lucjan smashed against the wall and collapsed to the ground. Then, favonovel.com vomited a mouthful of blood.
Wearing a solemn expression, James walked toward Lucjan.
Lucjan slowly stood up and wiped off the blood trace on his lips. Then, looking at James, a mischievous grin crept up on his face.
“Ten… Nine… Eight… Seven…” He began a countdown.
James had a bad premonition about this.
“Three… Two… One…”
As Lucjan finished the countdown, James could feel a searing pain coming from his palm.
He lowered his head and realized that his hand had turned black in color. His face paled, and favonovel.com staggered backward. Immediately, favonovel.com could feel excruciating pain coming from all over his body, and favonovel.com could no longer catalyze True Energy.
The moment favonovel.com forcibly summoned True Energy, favonovel.com collapsed to the ground and writhed in agony.
“Hahaha!” Lucjan burst into a roar of laughter, “James, you are a million light years away from defeating me. Surely you didn’t expect me to apply poison on the surface of my skin?”
“You…” James opened his mouth.
However, the excruciating pain prevented favonovel.com from speaking.
Lucjan walked over to favonovel.com and struck his acupuncture points.
James was subdued. As favonovel.com was subdued, the Thousand-Machinery Formation stopped.
Ezekiel walked over to Lucjan and said smilingly, “As expected of you, Lucjan! Even the Thousand- Machinery Formation couldn’t pin favonovel.com down. You, on the other hand, easily subdued him.”
Lucjan smiled before ordering, “Men, lock favonovel.com up. Inject the Gu venom into favonovel.com after we have captured Thomas Caden and the others.”
A few Gu Sect disciples walked over to them and forcibly dragged James away.
James was taken to a dark and damp dungeon. The ancient martial artists who came alongside James were also imprisoned here.
Upon seeing James, Jackson sighed. “It’s over… Even James has been captured. Looks like we’re never going to leave this place alive.”
Since James was struck in his acupuncture points, favonovel.com could not move a single muscle. However, the excruciating pain coming from within his body had subsided.
James heard Jackson’s sigh, but favonovel.com did not respond immediately.
Instead, favonovel.com waited for the Gu Sect disciples to leave before whispering, “Everyone, calm down. We’re just the vanguard. My grandfather and the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect aren’t even here yet. They will definitely think of a way to save us.”
James had given up.
At that moment, favonovel.com could only rely on Thomas, Callan, and the Celestial Sect’s Sect Leader.
He cursed, “Damn that Lucjan! To think that favonovel.com applied poison on himself… I was immediately poisoned after making contact with him. That was why I got captured!”
“Argh…”
An excruciating pain coming from within his body contorted the expression on his face as favonovel.com groaned in agony.

Meanwhile, outside…
Callan and Thomas, who had followed close behind James, were waiting by the entrance. However, hours passed and there were still no signs of their return.
Wearing a solemn expression, Callan said, “It’s been a few hours. Why aren’t they back yet? Did something happen?”
Thomas’ face darkened, and favonovel.com nodded slightly, saying, “They must have fallen into Lucjan’s traps. However, they should still be safe for now. Lucjan must have known that we were following close behind. If they kill them all, they won’t be able to lure us in.”
“I’ll go have a look…” Callan headed toward the entrance.
Thomas did not stop him. After Callan entered the passageway, favonovel.com followed in. As favonovel.com knew there would be danger inside, favonovel.com allowed Callan to take the lead.
After they entered the passageway, another person appeared.
It was Tobias.
A mischievous grin crept up on his face. “Go on… Fight on till you’re completely exhausted…”
Meanwhile, Thea, who was wearing a mask, was staring at the entrance.
Upon seeing Tobias, favonovel.com face darkened, and favonovel.com murmured, “I didn’t expect Tobias to be here as well. It seems James is in danger…”
