Chapter 1525

Ezekiel scrutinized the steel wire. However, he could not comprehend how Crucifier managed to turn

into a steel wire.

“I don’t know either. After all, I have never seen Crucifier before. However, I’ve seen James using this

steel wire to sever the stone figures’ heads. This should be a pretty good weapon.”

“If he doesn’t tell me Crucifier’s secret, I will tear him to pieces,” Lucjan roared.

Meanwhile, Ezekiel said with a grim expression, “Thomas has yet to show himself. He’s the most

troublesome enemy of all. Once he’s captured, we can inject Gu venom into their bodies.”

Upon hearing this, Lucjan said anxiously, “Why hasn’t he appeared yet? He’s too powerful. I heard that

he deflected both Tobias and Bennett’s attacks by himself at the Cadens’ residence and even pushed

them away. The moment he appears, we have to use the Thousand-Machinery Formation. Otherwise,

we don’t stand a chance against him.”

Ezekiel said, “The surveillance cameras outside have been destroyed. However, the moment he

appears within the range of the Thousand-Machinery Formation, the formation will be instantly

activated. Even if he has crossed into the ninth rank, there’s no way he can destroy the Thousand-

Machinery Formation.”

Ezekiel was confident. The Thousand-Machinery Formation passed down by his ancestors was

foolproof.

“I’m at ease, then.”

Lucjan pulled his phone out and looked at the time. The First Blood Emperor was arriving soon.

“Please stand by for now. I’ll go interrogate James.”

“Mhm.”

Ezekiel nodded and returned Crucifier to Lucjan. Lucjan then turned to leave and headed to the

dungeon.

The moment he left, a Gu Sect disciple who was wearing a black overcoat and a mask appeared in the

room. Looking at Ezekiel, he called out, “Sir.”

“Speak.”

The disciple approached Ezekiel, whispering in his ear, “I have something I’d like to report.”

“Cut to the chase already.”

“It’s about the situation outside.”

The disciple lowered his voice.

Upon hearing this, Ezekiel listened intently. However, at that moment, he was struck in the chest by a

palm and sent flying. Almost immediately, he was pulled back by a powerful force. The disciple covered

his mouth. After struggling for a brief moment, he stopped breathing.

The disciple tossed him aside casually and took a seat. Then, he removed his mask.

It was Thomas, who had infiltrated the underground palace surreptitiously.

After remembering Ezekiel’s appearance, he took a bottle out and poured a yellow powder on Ezekiel’s

corpse.

Hiss!

The corpse on the ground began dissolving until only a pool of blood remained. Thomas then took

another bottle out and poured some more powder. Soon, the pool of blood was no more.

After finishing this, Thomas put on his mask once more and left silently. After leaving the underground

palace, he hurriedly headed outside and returned to his car. Then, he began making a human mask.

Soon, he was done. Upon putting it on, he now looked identical to Ezekiel. Then, he took out a wig he

prepared in advance and began strimming it. Next, he grabbed a box from the trunk and found some

sewing material. Soon, he had the same clothing as Ezekiel.

After all this, he returned to the underground palace. The whole process took him only thirty minutes.
