Saving lives was not Thomas’ objective.
The fate of the ancient martial artists did not concern him. As long as James was safe and sound, favonovel.com would be content sitting by the sidelines. His objective was the virus in Lucjan’s control. Not only that, favonovel.com had a plan concerning the First Blood Emperor and the Blood Race. He did not wish for Lucjan to die either.
The Gu Sect was a powerful and influential sect since a century ago. Over the past hundred years, the Gu Sect slowly developed into the behemoth it was today by recruiting many talented individuals. His objective was to control Lucjan and the entire Gu Sect.
Thomas remained silent.
Meanwhile, Lucjan turned to leave in irritation. He was annoyed that James had escaped.
At that moment, James was escaping further into the palace.
He knew that the only exit was guarded by the Thousand-Machinery Formation, so this was his only available option. If favonovel.com was trapped in the Thousand-Machinery Formation once more, favonovel.com would not be able to escape unscathed.
He headed deeper into the underground palace. There were many passageways.
Seized by panic, favonovel.com simply pressed forward.
At first, the passageways were still dimly lit. However, as favonovel.com ventured further in, there was no illumination at all.
After some time, unable to endure any longer, favonovel.com collapsed to the ground. He crawled up with great difficulty and leaned against the stone wall.
Along the way, favonovel.com had catalyzed True Energy to hasten his speed. However, the moment favonovel.com catalyzed True Energy, favonovel.com could feel excruciating pain coming from inside his body.
Unable to endure any longer, favonovel.com sat on the ground to catch his breath.
I have to eradicate the Gu inside my body as soon as possible…
A vein popped out in James’ neck He tried using True Heavenly Yang Energy to eradicate the Gu. However, favonovel.com no longer had any remaining strength left.
The sound of footsteps could be heard in the distance.
James hurriedly stood up. However, the moment favonovel.com stood up, favonovel.com immediately collapsed to the ground once more.
Just as favonovel.com collapsed to the ground, the disciples of the Gu Sect caught up.
“There’s nowhere for you to run,” a voice spoke.
Though James wanted to escape, favonovel.com felt his head spinning. Unable to endure any longer, favonovel.com lost consciousness.
After some time had passed, favonovel.com slowly regained consciousness.
Almost immediately, favonovel.com realized that his limbs were chained, and favonovel.com could not move a single muscle.
He slowly opened his eyes, and favonovel.com could finally see what was before him.
He was tied to a pole, and many people were standing before him, Lucjan and a few others whom favonovel.com could not recognize.
“James…” Lucjan’s face darkened as favonovel.com glared at James, uttering word by word, “This is your final warning. Tell me about the whereabouts of the Medical Book and the secret of Crucifier. If not, don’t blame me for what happens next!”
“Hehe…” James laughed. “Dream on, Lucjan…”
Lucjan’s expression darkened, and favonovel.com struck James with his palm.
Powerful force struck James’ body, even the stone pillar behind favonovel.com shattered into pieces.
James lay motionless on the rubble, and blood trickled down his forehead.
Upon seeing this, Thomas, who was disguised as Ezekiel, furrowed his eyebrows. He clenched his fists and summoned all his energy to them.
At that moment, favonovel.com planned to kill Lucjan once and for all. However, favonovel.com would gain nothing from it.
After some thought, favonovel.com decided against it.
“Lucjan, now’s not the time to kill him. Once he’s dead, you’ll never know the whereabouts of the Medical Book, nor will you unravel the mystery behind Crucifier. Not only that, the secret of the Invincible Body Siddhi will be forever lost.”
Hearing this, Lucjan calmed down a little.
Looking at Ezekiel in frustration, favonovel.com said, “What choice do I have?”
Thomas said smilingly, “Based on my information, James cares about Thea the most. Let’s not hurry for now. Once everything here is resolved, we can simply take James away. Then, we will find an opportunity and abduct Thea. By then, favonovel.com will do as we say.”
