“Ezekiel, what are you shouting for?”
As soon as Thea left, Lucjan turned to face Thomas, who was pretending to be Ezekiel, and questioned him, “What did you mean by that? Why did the Sect Leader of Celestial Sect leave when you brought up James?”
Thomas shrugged and said, “I just guessed that the leader of the Celestial Sect is Thomas, but I didn’t expect it to be true…”
“Is it really?” Lucjan had a look of disbelief.
“It was just a speculation, that’s why I put it to the test,” said Thomas.
“Consider for a moment… Besides Thomas, who else in this world would have such strength?”
Lucjan did not doubt Thomas’ words, since they made a lot of sense.
The person who benefited the most from the Spirit Turtle was Thomas. His strength was unrivaled in the world.
Right now, Lucjan wanted to kill Tobias.
Tobias was injured and even lost an arm. He thought favonovel.com would certainly be dead. However, the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect unexpectedly left at a crucial moment.
He breathed a sigh of relief and hurried off without lingering.
When Lucjan realized what was going on, Tobias had already vanished.
“Oh, no! Let’s go back quickly!” Lucjan’s face suddenly turned pale as favonovel.com thought of something.
However, just as favonovel.com was about to make his way back to the underground palace, favonovel.com was stopped.
The person standing in his way was Callan.
“Callan Maverick…” Lucjan’s expression darkened, and favonovel.com said coldly, “Get the hell out of my way!”
Callan’s face was slightly pale. He was aware that favonovel.com might not be a match for the three people in front of him.
Still, favonovel.com had to stop them in order to give Bennett a chance to save the others.
“Lucjan, it’s about time we settle our grudges,” Callan said nonchalantly.
Lucjan looked at Ezekiel and the First Blood Emperor beside favonovel.com and said softly, “You should both look for an opening to return to the underground palace and guard it. If anyone tries to intrude, activate the Thousand-Machinery Formation. Don’t ever let those martial artists escape with the help of outsiders. If you do, all of our efforts will have been in vain.”
“Okay…” The Blood Emperor nodded gently.
Thomas, who was posing as Ezekiel, nodded as well and said, “Don’t worry. It’ll be fine.”
Callan did not move. His goal was not to kill Lucjan.
Things had changed.
Lucjan had refined the Spirit Turtle’s core. In his current state, favonovel.com might not be able to kill Lucjan. His only goal was to stall for time.
At this moment, Lucjan swiftly made his move.
The First Blood Emperor and Ezekiel also parted ways and left quickly.
Callan could not pursue them both at the same time.
Thea quickly made favonovel.com way back.
Soon after, favonovel.com was back at the dungeon.
When favonovel.com arrived at the dungeon…
Some martial artists were leaving in a hurry. Bennett, on the other hand, was dressing James’ wounds.
When favonovel.com saw the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect appear, favonovel.com was slightly stunned.
Thea did not say anything. She walked over, carried James, and then left.
Bennett furrowed his brow slightly. He wanted to say something, but favonovel.com held his tongue since James had previously said that the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect would help him.
When the Celestial Sect’s leader took James away, Bennett was at ease.
***
Three days later…
At a hospital in Cansington City…
James was covered in bandages all over his body.
Thea was in favonovel.com casual clothes, sitting by the hospital bed and dozing off.
James had been unconscious for several days and had not regained consciousness. However, his vital signs were very stable following medical treatment.
For three days, Thea stayed with favonovel.com in the hospital.
Thea had no idea what was the situation at Malgudi after favonovel.com had left. Now, favonovel.com no longer wanted to be bothered with Malgudi’s affairs. She only wanted James to be safe and wake up sooner.
After the fight, favonovel.com was slightly worn out. She did not want to be involved in the affairs of the ancient martial arts world any longer. She also did not want James to be involved in the important matters of the nation or the ancient martial arts world anymore.
All Thea wanted was to have James by favonovel.com side and to live out the rest of their days in peace.
James’ finger moved just a little.
