Lucjan scanned everyone in the dungeon. His gaze was fixed on Callan.
Noticing something was amiss, favonovel.com said, “Bring Callan here.”
A few Gu Sect disciples walked over to Callan, forcibly dragged him, and tossed favonovel.com beside James.
Upon seeing the sweat beaded on his forehead, Lucjan laughed.
“Callan, are you trying to free your acupuncture points? Not bad. You’re good at enduring pain. You didn’t even let loose a scream.”
Callan remained silent.
Lucjan continued, “Once ten minutes is up, I will kill Callan first.”
At that moment, James was lying on the ground. He knew favonovel.com was running out of time. He had to free his acupuncture points at once.
Once his acupuncture points were freed, favonovel.com could make his escape even if favonovel.com could not save the others.
After favonovel.com left, Lucjan would no longer be able to threaten him. He silently catalyzed Heavenly Breath, and True Heavenly Yang Energy burst forth.
“Argh!” James roared in pain.
Boom!
In that instant, a heavy sound came from within his body.
James hurriedly got up and charged toward Lucjan at great speed.
Lucjan did not expect favonovel.com to be capable of freeing his acupuncture points. In the nick of time, favonovel.com raised his arm and met James’ palm.
The two staggered backward.
Meanwhile, James used his momentum and rushed outside the dungeon.
Though favonovel.com had left, his roar echoed throughout the dungeon.
“I’ll be back, Lucjan!” By the time Lucjan recollected himself, James was already gone without a trace.
“Chase after him!” He immediately gave his order and said coldly, “Though his acupuncture points are free, there’s still Gu venom inside his body. He still can’t use True Energy yet. I want you to bring favonovel.com back here, dead or alive!”
Upon receiving his orders, the disciples of the Gu Sect immediately gave chase.
Meanwhile, a vein popped up in Lucjan’s arm.
His face darkened, and favonovel.com said coldly, “Damn it, I underestimated him!”
“Men, keep a close watch on them. Do not let a single one of them escape!”
Leaving this remark, Lucjan turned to leave.
Now that James had escaped, favonovel.com hurriedly tried to find Ezekiel. However, upon leaving the dungeon, favonovel.com saw Ezekiel walking toward him.
He could not help but ask, “Why are you here? Who’s guarding the Thousand-Machinery Formation? What if Thomas infiltrate the palace while you were away?”
Of course Lucjan did not realize that this Ezekiel was actually Thomas in disguise. The real Ezekiel had already been disposed of.
Thomas looked at Lucjan and said smilingly, “Don’t worry, I’ve already ordered my men to keep a close watch. Once an outsider appears, the Thousand- Machinery Formation will instantly activate itself… By the way, what’s the situation here?”
Lucjan did not know that the Ezekiel before favonovel.com was Thomas in disguise.
Hearing the question, his face darkened, and favonovel.com said coldly, “I underestimated James’ pain durability. He forcibly freed his acupuncture points while enduring the excruciating pain caused by the catalyzation of True Energy and escaped.”
“What?” Thomas exclaimed. “James is important to our cause. We can’t let favonovel.com escape!”
Lucjan waved slightly and tried to calm Ezekiel down, saying, ” James wouldn’t dare try to wander outside. After all, the Thousand-Machinery Formation is guarding the only exit of the underground palace, so favonovel.com must have wandered further in. Even I haven’t completely explored the underground palace. I don’t know where it ends. But don’t worry, I’ve already sent my men after him… Since James was poisoned by Gu venom, favonovel.com can’t use True Energy for a long period of time. Soon, favonovel.com will be recaptured.”
“Mhm…” Thomas nodded gently.
Looking at Lucjan, favonovel.com asked, ” What’s our next course of action?”
Lucjan said, “We’ll wait for the First Blood Emperor to arrive. Upon his arrival, we will inject the virus into their bodies and control them. As for Thomas… We have no choice but to disregard favonovel.com for now. I’m worried that something unexpected might happen if we drag this out.”
Upon hearing this, Thomas was lost in thought.
He could strike Lucjan dead with a single blow. However, Lucjan still controlled the virus that favonovel.com had researched.
Until Thomas seized control of the virus, Lucjan could not die.
