Chapter 1471

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 just by training normally.

“What should we do now, Dad?”

Delainey said in a hushed tone, “Judging from Tapio’s words, there must be someone else behind him.

Unfortunately, I can’t figure out the person’s identity yet.”

“What’re you thinking?” Jackson stopped and looked at Delainey.

Delainey thought for a while and replied, “I don’t know why Tapio challenged James, but since he did, I

believe he’ll approach James again. I plan to head to the Capital and reunite with James.”

At that moment, Delainey’s phone rang.

The Mount Thunder Sect was outside the suburbs, so there was no signal there.

The disciples of the Mount Thunder Sect hardly ever used phones.

However, the Mount Thunder Sect had to be rebuilt after the last Mount Thunder Conference.

Jackson had contacted the outside world to build a signal tower near the Mount Thunder Sect.

Delainey took out her phone and checked the screen. Seeing that it was James calling, she looked at.

Jackson and said, “It’s James calling.”

Jackson replied, “Go ahead.”

“Okay.”

Delainey answered the phone and asked, “Mr. Caden, what’s the matter? Did something happen?”

“Uhm, Delainey. It’s like this. I’ve encountered some problems over here and would like to borrow some

people from the Mount Thunder Sect.”

Delainey had the loudspeaker on, so Jackson also overheard the conversation.

She looked at Jackson.

Jackson made a few gestures.

Delainey immediately understood and asked, “What’s the matter? What exactly happened, and what

kind of people do you need?”

“I need some martial artists from the Mount Thunder Sect.”

“How many people do you need?”

“About a thousand or so.”

“What about cultivation rank? Do you have any requirements?”

“It would be best if they’re above the third rank.”

“We don’t have that many.”

Delainey immediately said, “Do you think everyone is like you and can improve so rapidly? The Mount

Thunder Sect can lend you one thousand people, but they’re only around the first rank. We don’t have

anyone higher.”

James thought for a while and said, “One thousand first-ranked grandmasters are fine too. Bring them

to the Capital immediately. I need them urgently.”

Delainey calmly hung up the phone.

She turned to Jackson and asked, “What do you think, Dad?”

Jackson’s face also became solemn.

He could roughly guess the reason James needed men.

The Mount Thunder Sect had supported the King for a long time and contributed greatly to the

country’s development.

However, ever since the King sent troops to blow up the Mount Thunder Sect during the Mount

Thunder Conference, they severed contact with him.

He knew the situation in the Capital was extremely chaotic.

The major families and sects had begun taking sides.

If he sent martial artists to support James, it would mean he was on James’ side.

“Sigh. This is going to be a hard decision.”

Jackson sighed deeply.

He was unsure of what to do at the moment.

Jackson knew that once the Capital’s situation went out of control, his sect would not go unharmed

even if it remained neutral.

After thinking about it for some time, he parted his lips and said, “Delainey, bring one thousand

disciples to the Capital to support James.”

With Jackson’s words, Delainey understood her father had decided to support James.

She also hoped for James to win the next battle for hegemony.

The Mount Thunder Sect’s fate would be the same as that of the Gu Sect a hundred years ago if he

lost. “Alright. I’ll lead people down the mountain and to the Capital right now.”
