Chapter 1417

“What are you doing here? You’re poisoned. Leave now!” Thea chastised James.

At that moment. Lucjan and the Blood Emperor who had been losing ground were finally given a breath

of respite. The two hurriedly stepped back.

In the blink of an eye. James appeared beside Thea. He glanced at her before looking at Lucjan and

the Blood Emperor, saying. “The poison is no more. Let me help you.”

“Deal with it yourself.”

After saying that. Thea left.

“What the… James was confused.

Why did she leave all of a sudden?”

Hey! James cried out. However, Thea was nowhere to be seen.

Below, Thomas witnessed the entire process.

The Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect is growing stronger by the day. However, the moment James

appeared, she seemed to have exited some sort of state, which caused her strength to diminish a

little.”

He stroked his chin and contemplated.

Why is that?

Oh, right! The state of insanity!”

Thomas immediately thought of it. He saw records of the Demonic Sword Art on the stone wall in the

Snow Cavern. The Demonic Sword Art can only be performed to its fullest extent in a state of insanity.

Thomas looked in the direction where Thea left and murmured, “Could it be Thea? Did the Spirit Turtle

blood within her cause her strength to drastically increase?”

Meanwhile, Lucjan and the Blood Emperor looked at one another. Then, they nodded.

They stood no chance against the Celestial Sect’s Sect Leader. Now, however, she was gone, and

James had returned. There was no way they could not defeat James together.

“James, you could have escaped. However, you returned to die.”

Lucjan’s face darkened, and he walked toward James in mid-air.

Holding a blood-red sword in his hand, the Blood Emperor slowly approached James.

James looked at the two most powerful figures in the world. Holding the Blade of Justice in his hand,

his aura burst forth.

“Interesting…”

A laugh came. Then, Thomas appeared. He knew that James would be in trouble if he did not appear

soon.

Although James was strong, he could not fight against two by himself.

“Grandpa.”

Upon seeing Thomas, a smile crept up on James’ face.

Thomas gave a small wave. “Let’s deal with the enemy first.”

At that moment, Callan had made his way over after eradicating the disciples of the Gu Sect. Upon

seeing Thomas’ appearance, he smiled slightly and said, “Now that Thomas is here, there’s nothing

much I can do.”

Upon seeing Thomas, Lucjan’s expression turned grim.

The Blood Emperor approached Lucjan and whispered, “Who is he?”

Lucjan whispered back, “He is James’ grandfather. He’s a troublesome guy, to say the least. If they join

forces, we stand no chance against them. We should retreat for now.”

“Mhm.” The Blood Emperor nodded.

“Thomas, James, until next time.”

Then, Lucjan disappeared without a trace.

“Where do you think you are going?”

James intended to give chase.

Thomas stopped him in time and said, “Alright now, stop chasing already. If he intends to run, not even

I can stop him.”

James stopped. Wearing a dejected look on his face, he said, “Grandpa, that was a perfect opportunity

to kill him.”

Thomas said, “The time has not come yet. I forcibly left my closed-door meditation. As my realm is

unstable yet, I couldn’t use my full strength.”

James asked, “By the way, who is the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect? Why did she save multiple

times?”

Upon hearing this, Thomas glanced at James.

After thinking for a moment, he said, “How would I know? I have something else to attend to. I’ll be

taking my leave. Be careful not to fall for Lucjan’s tricks in the future.”

Thomas did not linger for long. Leaving this remark, he hurriedly left.
