James weighed his options. He believed that telling Xavi the secret of the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge and the martial arts recorded within in exchange for the Lee family’s fortune was a great deal. He was unconcerned that Xavi would cultivate the martial arts recorded within the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge since they demanded great True Energy. Besides, it required a man and a woman and both True Yin and Yang Energy to cultivate. Xavi smiled bitterly and said, “James, do you have any idea how much fortune the Lee family has amassed over the past century? I’m only demanding you to return what’s mine and to tell me the secret of the Four Ancient Paintings. Surely this isn’t too demanding?” “Not at all…” James continued, “But since I don’t have the painting with me, there’s nothing I can do.” Hearing this, Xavi fell silent. The atmosphere became tense. James remained silent as well and waited for Xavi to speak his mind. After a while, Xavi said, “How about t

Thea, who was by James’ side, suppressed a snicker. How could the Mount Thunder Sect possibly have such intelligence-gathering skills? The Celestial Sect was the one who discovered this. Since she was at a loss over how to deliver this information to James, she simply revealed it to the Mount Thunder Sect, which would then convey the message to James. “Mhm, I’ll contact Father immediately.” Delainey immediately called Jackson. She told him that James was prepared to make a move. She also informed him that James wanted the Mount Thunder Sect to contact the various families and sects of the ancient martial world in secret and gather in Malgudi. After hearing this, Jackson immediately made the necessary arrangements. “James, Father said that he will make the necessary arrangements at once. All ancient martial artists of Sol would be assembled in three days. However, we can’t leave the Celestial Sect out. Aren’t you acquainted with White Eagle of the Celestial Sect? I think you s

After Callan told him not to act recklessly, James did not contact anyone else. After he returned home, he simply rested. In the room at night… Thea held James in her embrace and asked softly, “Darling, when are we going to Malgudi?” James said, “We’ll wait for news from the Mount Thunder Sect. Once I discuss matters with Callan tomorrow, I’ll head over to the Mount Thunder Sect and meet up with Jackson Cabral.” Thea said with consternation, “I feel like something’s amiss.” James asked, “Why? What’s wrong?” The Celestial Sect was the one who found out about this. However, Thea was worried about the manner in which they investigated. This was information obtained by disciples of the Celestial Sect who successfully infiltrated the Gu Sect. This matter should be one of the Gu Sect’s top secrets, which only high-ranking members would know. However, the Celestial Sect managed to get its hands on the information without great difficulty. Their objective could be to lure James and

Thea was puzzled. What was Thomas trying to say? Could it be that he already knew her identity? She was unsure. Meanwhile, James could not comprehend Thomas’ words at all. “Alright, I’ll be taking my leave.” Thomas stretched and stood up. Then, he simply walked out of the house. James really was speechless when it came to his grandfather. He no longer bothered to say goodbye to him. Callan stood up and said, “I’ll be taking my leave, James. You go along first. I’ll be there shortly. However, I won’t show up unless the situation turns dire.” “Mhm.” James nodded. With Thomas and Callan helping him out in the shadows, there was nothing he was afraid of. After they left, James have White Eagle a call and inquired him about the situation at the Celestial Sect. “The Sect Leader has agreed to this. However, she’s currently preoccupied with something at the moment. But, don’t worry, she promised she would be there to lend you a hand.” Hearing this, James was at ease. Hi

After arriving at the Mount Thunder Sect, James began discussing the action plan with the martial artists. However, they only roughly knew the location of the research laboratory and nothing about the specifics. So, even after a long discussion, no concrete plan was formulated. In the end, they decided to head over to Malgudi for now and find the location of the research laboratory before making a concrete plan. In essence, they would improvise and act accordingly. After discussion, they left the Mount Thunder Sect and boarded a private plane specially prepared by the military region, and headed to Malgudi. Meanwhile, the Solean authorities had notified the Malgudian Air Force beforehand. So, James’ private plane would be allowed safe passage into Malgudi and would not be intercepted. Malgudi was a nation bordering Sol. Although it was territorially half the size of Sol, it had a vastly smaller population. After half a day… The plane descended in the middle of a desert in Mal
