Then, he had no choice but to borrow the strength of ancient martial artists too.Among the ancient martial artists he knew, the only ones with whom he had a good relationship were those from the Mount Thunder Sect.He immediately pulled out his phone and called Delainey from the Mount Thunder Sect.Delainey had left her contact number before she returned home. At that moment, Delainey was walking side by side with Jackson at the leeward of the mountain of the Mount Thunder Sect.Delainey recited the events that happened at the Mount Thunder Sect in the Southern Plains and the encounter with her brother, Tapio.Upon hearing her narration of the events, Jackson’s expression turned serious.“Is Tapio so strong already?”With a solemn expression, he said slowly, “It seems he had encountered many things in the past ten years. Although he’s a marital art genius, he still has to work hard to improve his strength. He couldn’t have entered the eighth rank in less than a hundred years

James leaned on the bed, and before he knew it, he was fast asleep.He slept for a long time and was woken up.“James, wake up…”James opened his eyes and picked up his phone. He looked and saw that it was already six in the evening. He could not help asking, “What’s wrong?”Thea said, “There’s a visitor outside saying he has something to discuss with you.”“Who?”James turned around and got out of bed.Thea replied, “I don’t know.”“Alright. I’ll go out and have a look.”James got dressed, walked out of the room, and entered the living room.Sitting in the living room was a man in his sixties. He was a slightly chubby man dressed in a brown suit with short hair and a beard.James walked over suspiciously and inquired, “You are?”The person sitting on the sofa stood up immediately and said with a smile, “Hello, Emperor. I’m White Eagle, the Left Envoy of the Celestial Sect. My friends in the martial art world call me by the nickname Eagle King.”White Eagle beamed with a b

“Mrs. Lee, Mr. Sullivan, I’m sure you two are aware of the Capital’s current situation. The division of forces has gradually become clear. Several factions have begun to take action, and almost all major families and ancient martial artists have taken their stands.”Yasmine looked at Maxine and said softly, “Is the reason you asked to meet us to convince us to pick a side? I heard you did not hesitate to ask for the King’s help to stabilize your position as Caden’s family head.”“Ha, the King?”Maxine chuckled and said, “The current King is just a puppet. Although he has established his own circle of power during his reign, he does not have the power to stabilize my position as the family head. Someone else assisted me.”“Who?”Yasmine and Zaiden asked simultaneously.Maxine replied calmly, “The Celestial Sect.”The two stood up simultaneously and exclaimed, “The Celestial Sect?”“Yes,” Maxine replied honestly.Yasmine and Zaiden’s expressions became solemn.None of them spok

“But, I just feel something is off about them.”“What is?”“Do you not think so? Why would the Celestial Sect offer to help me? There’s no reason for them to do so. I suspect their Sect Leader is someone I know.Maxine replied with a smile, “Perhaps it’s your grandfather. Sir Caden is a very mysterious person and even created the God-King Palace. It’s not surprising if he also created the Celestial Sect. Isn’t that so, Thea?”“Yeah.”Thea nodded her head and said, “It’s possible. I also think the Celestial Sect’s leader is Sir Caden. Even if it’s not him, it must be his subordinate. Otherwise, why would they help James for no reason?”The two cooperated with each other.James was convinced by them.“Since that’s the case, I don’t have anything to worry about. By the way, I bumped into the family heads of the Lees and Sullivans at your gates. What’s that about?”Maxine explained, “It’s not a big deal. I simply chatted with them and asked them to pick a side. I tried to convince

“But…”Suddenly, the door was pushed open again, and Gloom walked into the study.Seeing that Mia was also present, he quickly said, “I’ll come back later.”After speaking, he proceeded to leave.“Go ahead and report.” The King stopped Gloom from leaving.He turned to Mia and said, “Mia, go outside first. I’ve some business to settle.”“Okay.”Mia cast a glance at Gloom and turned to leave.After she left, the King asked, “What happened for you to come to me so late?”Gloom’s expression darkened as he explained, “News had just come in that the Red Flame Army has been dispatched.”“What?”The King stood up in shock and asked, “The Red Flame Army has been dispatched?”“Yes.”Gloom nodded and said, “One thousand Red Flame Army soldiers were dispatched. James recruited these soldiers from the Southern Plains.After several seconds, the King sat down and asked, “Who’s James targeting?”Gloom shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”The King said slowly, “Tonight won’t be a p
