Chapter 1527

Lucjan scanned everyone in the dungeon.His gaze was fixed on Callan.

Noticing something was amiss, he said, "Bring Callan here." A few Gu Sect disciples walked over to

Callan, forcibly dragged him, and tossed him beside James.

Upon seeing the sweat beaded on his forehead, Lucjan laughed.

" Callan, are you trying to free your acupuncture points? Not bad.You’re good at enduring pain.You

didn’t even let loose a scream." Callan remained silent.

Lucjan continued, "Once ten minutes is up, I will kill Callan first."

At that moment, James was lying on the ground.He knew he was running out of time.He had to free his

acupuncture points at once.

Once his acupuncture points were freed, he could make his escape even if he could not save the

others.

After he left, Lucjan would no longer be able to threaten him.He silently catalyzed Heavenly Breath,

and True Heavenly Yang Energy burst forth.

"argh!" James roared in pain.

Boom! In that instant, a heavy sound came from within his body.

James hurriedly got up and charged toward Lucjan at great speed.

Lucjan did not expect him to be capable of freeing his acupuncture points.

In the nick of time, he raised his arm and met James’ palm.

The two staggered backward.

Meanwhile, James used his momentum and rushed outside the dungeon.

Though he had left, his roar echoed throughout the dungeon.

"Tl be back, Lucjan!" By the time Lucjan recollected himself, James was already gone without a trace.

"Chase after him!" He immediately gave his order and said coldly, ‘Though his acupuncture points are

free, there’s still Gu venom inside his body.He still can’t use True Energy yet.I want you to bring him

back here, dead or alive!"

Upon receiving his orders, the disciples of the Gu Sect immediately gave chase.

Meanwhile, a vein popped up in Lucjan’s arm.

His face darkened, and he said coldly, "Damn it, I underestimated him!"

"Men, keep a close watch on them.Do not let a single one of them escape!" Leaving this remark,

Lucjan turned to leave.

Now that James had escaped, he hurriedly tried to find Ezekiel.

However, upon leaving the dungeon, he saw Ezekiel walking toward him.He could not help but ask,

"Why are you here? Who’s guarding the Thousand-Machinery Formation? What if Thomas infiltrate the

palace while you were away?" This Ezekiel was Thomas in disguise.

The real Ezekiel had already been disposed of.

Thomas looked at Lucjan and said smilingly, "Don’t worry, I’ve already ordered my men to keep a close

watch.

Once an outsider appears, the Thousand- Machinery Formation will instantly activate itself.

By the way, what’s the situation here?" Lucjan did not know that the Ezekiel before him was Thomas in

disguise.

His face darkened, and he said coldly, "I underestimated James’ pain durability.He forcibly freed his

acupuncture points while enduring the excruciating pain caused by the catalyzation of True Energy and

escaped."

"What?" Thomas exclaimed.

"James is important to our cause.We can’t let him escape!" Lucjan waved slightly and tried to calm

Ezekiel down, saying, " James wouldn’t dare try to wander outside.

After all, the Thousand- Machinery Formation is guarding the only exit of the underground palace, so

he must have wandered further in.

Even I haven’t completely explored the underground palace.

I don’t know where it ends.

But don’t worry, I’ve already sent my men after him.

Since James was poisoned by Gu venom, he can’t use True Energy for a long period of time.Soon, he

will be recaptured."

"Mhm." Thomas nodded gently.

Looking at Lucjan, he asked, " What’s our next course of action?" Lucjan said, "We'll wait for the First

Blood Emperor to arrive.

Upon his arrival, we will inject the virus into their bodies and control them.

As for Thomas...we have no choice but to disregard him for now.

I’m worried that something unexpected might happen if we drag this out." Upon hearing this, Thomas

was lost in thought.

He could strike Lucjan dead with a single blow.

However, Lucjan still controlled the virus that he had researched.

Until Thomas seized control of the virus, Lucjan could not die.
