Chapter 1522

James was imprisoned in a dark and damp dungeon. Not only was he gravely poisoned, but even his

acupuncture points were struck. He would feel excruciating pain coming from inside his body while

lying on the ground motionless.

As he was a practitioner in the art of medicine, he knew that this was a terrifying Gu venom. Not only

would the venom destroy his body, but the Gu were slowly and surely tearing away at his flesh. He

writhed on the ground in agony.

Lying on the ground, he could feel his head spinning. “No… I have to free my acupuncture points and

forcibly eradicate the Gu inside my body.”

James gritted his teeth and catalyzed True Energy.

“Argh!”

The moment he catalyzed True Energy, the Gu inside his body were vitalized and began tearing away

at his flesh.

His expression contorted in pain, and he could not help but groan in agony.

Upon witnessing this, the other ancient martial artists who were imprisoned wore solemn expressions.

At that moment, Callan had entered the underground palace.

He proceeded with caution. However, Lucjan was instantly informed of his arrival.

Staring at the person who appeared on the monitor screen, his expression turned solemn, “Callan

Maverick… How can this be?”

He thought that Callan was long dead and did not expect him to show up here. Deep down inside, he

was still rather fearful of the previous Supreme Leader of the Gu Sect.

“Everyone, retreat at once. Lure Callan Maverick to the Thousand-Machinery Formation.”

His expression was grim. Since Callan was here, he might as well finish him off together with the

others. Callan pressed forward. Along the way, he saw many corpses on the ground. Judging by their

postures, he knew that there was a fierce battle here a moment ago.

Meanwhile, Thomas followed close behind. However, he was much more cautious. Along the way, he

scrutinized his surroundings and avoided being captured by the surveillance cameras.

“Thomas…”

Thomas turned his head and saw Bennett walking over to him.

Upon seeing Bennett walking over to him without the slightest care in the world, he furrowed his

eyebrows. Then, he pressed his body against the wall and gestured for Bennett to mimic his actions. At

the same time, he pointed at a corner of the wall.

Bennett immediately realized that there was a surveillance camera there.

Thomas signaled for him to destroy it.

Bennett understood his meaning. Under Thomas’ guidance, he began destroying the surveillance

cameras.

“Sir, the surveillance cameras have been destroyed. Based on the footage, it seems that Bennett

Caden has arrived.”

“Very good.” A smile crept up on Lucjan’s face, and he said, “Lure him to the Thousand-Machinery

Formation.”

After Bennett destroyed the surveillance cameras, Thomas walked over to him. Looking at him, he

asked, “Why are you here?”

Bennett said, “James pleaded for me to come. If not for him, I wouldn’t have bothered coming.”

Thomas made a welcoming gesture and said, “Callan Maverick is right ahead. He still is as reckless as

ever. Though he knew that James had fallen into Lucjan’s trap, he still waltzed in here like nobody’s

business. In any case, proceed with caution and destroy every surveillance camera hidden in the

corners. I’ll guard your back.”

“Mhm.”

Bennett did not say much and proceeded deeper into the passageway.

With Thomas’ reminder, he was now on guard. He kept scrutinizing his surroundings and destroying

surveillance cameras whenever he saw them.

At that moment, Callan had arrived at the underground palace where the Thousand-Machinery

Formation was. Upon seeing the mess on the ground, he speculated that a fierce battle must have

occurred here a moment ago. He looked at the passageway before him and hesitated briefly before

walking toward it.
