Chapter 1511

James hurriedly made his way toward the marked region on the map alongside the others. They

traversed a distance of three hundred kilometers in just three hours.

Swoosh!

Sand whirled in the air.

The strong wind prevented them from seeing what was ahead of them.

“This should be the place.”

James looked at the map. Then, he pulled his phone out but as there was no signal here, he was

unable to use the satellite-based positioning.

“This could be a trap by the Gu Sect. Be on your guard, everyone!” James yelled.

James had kept Thea’s warnings and Callan’s concerns in mind. He was here to save lives and destroy

the research laboratory while he was at it. If they fell into Lucjan’s trap, not only would they not be able

to save the abducted martial artists, but they themselves would be in danger.

From now on, he would have to be on full alert.

“Everyone, the Gu Sect specializes in Gu venom, which is much more potent and terrifying than

ordinary poison. However, as long as we hold our breath, we might not be poisoned no matter how

sophisticated the Gu Sect’s methods are.”

James knew nothing about Gu venom. However, as he was trained in the art of medicine, he knew that

it was possible to poison the air. Shapeless and odorless, they could be poisoned without them

realizing that.

After James reminded them, everyone held their breaths and began breathing internally. Though it felt

uncomfortable, they were all highly trained martial artists. Holding their breaths for a few hours at a

time was not too much of a problem for them.

They proceeded with caution.

At the same time, in an underground palace beneath the sand…

Though the underground palace was reconstructed, it was still dilapidated.

In a room…

Many delicacies were on the table-a roast duck, some sausages, and a few bottles of wine.

At that moment, Lucjan and Ezekiel were gobbling their food down when a masked man walked over to

them and knelt. “Sir, James and the others are approaching the entrance.”

Lucjan put the drumstick in his hand aside and asked, “Who came with him?”

“There’s Jackson Cabral of the Mount Thunder Sect. Some from the Heaven and Earth Sect, the

Sylvan Sect, and the Five Swirling Blades Sect were also there, James is the strongest among them,

which is followed by Jackson. As for the rest, they have barely reached the fifth rank. Only a handful

has crossed into the sixth rank.”

“Is that all?” Lucjan furrowed his eyebrows and looked at Ezekiel, saying, “Aren’t we expecting more to

come? Thomas, Bennett, Simon, and the Celestial Sect’s Sect Leader aren’t even here. There’s no

point in killing just James.”

Ezekiel stroked his beard and contemplated for a brief moment before saying, “Rest at ease. James i

surrounded by wise people. They must have known that this would be a trap. However, as they believe

themselves to be righteous, they insisted on coming regardless. They must have planned for James to

take the lead while the rest observe the situation in the shadows.”

As he said that, an enigmatic smile crept up on his face.

“We will capture James with our foolproof trap and force the ones in the shadow to reveal themselves.”

“Sure.” Lucjan nodded and said smilingly, “Thank goodness, I have you by my side. This time, James

will have a taste of the Thousand-Machinery Formation.”

Ezekiel said confidently, “The Thousand-Machinery Formation passed down by my ancestors can trap

even ninth-rank grandmasters. None shall escape. After refining our soon-to-be captives and injecting

Gu venom into their bodies, we will soon dominate the world.”

“Hahaha!” Lucjan burst into a roar of laughter. “When I become the ultimate ruler of the world, you shall

be made the Chancellor and rule alongside me.”
