Chapter 1528
Saving lives was not Thomas’ objective. The fate of the ancient martial artists did not concern him. As long as
James was safe and sound, he would be content sitting by the sidelines. His objective was the virus in Lucjan’s
control. Not only that, he had a plan concerning the First Blood Emperor and the Blood Race.
He did not wish for Lucjan to die either. The Gu Sect was a powerful and influential sect since a century ago. Over
the past hundred years, the Gu Sect slowly developed into the behemoth it was today by recruiting many talented
individuals. His objective was to control Lucjan and the entire Gu Sect.
Thomas remained silent.
Meanwhile, Lucjan turned to leave in irritation. He was annoyed that James had escaped.
At that moment, James was escaping further into the palace. He knew that the only exit was guarded by the
Thousand-Machinery Formation, so this was his only available option. If he was trapped in the Thousand-Machinery
Formation once more, he would not be able to escape unscathed.

pressed forward. At first, the passageways were still dimly lit. However, as he ventured further in, there was no
illumination at all.
After some time, unable to endure any longer, he collapsed to the ground. He crawled up with great difficulty and
leaned against the stone wall. Along the way, he had catalyzed True Energy to hasten his speed. However, the
moment he catalyzed True Energy, he could feel excruciating pain coming from inside his body. Unable to endure
any longer, he sat on the ground to catch his breath.
“I have to eradicate the Gu inside my body as soon as possible.”
A vein popped out in James’ neck. He tried using True Heavenly Yang Energy to eradicate the Gu. However, he no
longer had any remaining strength left.
The sound of footsteps could be heard in the distance.
James hurriedly stood up. However, the moment he stood up, he immediately collapsed to the ground once more.
Just as he collapsed to the ground, the disciples of the Gu Sect caught up.
“There’s nowhere for you to run,” a voice spoke.
Though James wanted to escape, he felt his head spinning. Unable to endure any longer, he lost
consciousness.
After some time had passed, he slowly regained consciousness. Almost immediately, he realized that his limbs were
chained, and he could not move a single muscle.
He slowly opened his eyes, and he could finally see what was before him. He was tied to a pole, and many people
were standing before him-Lucjan and a few others whom he could not recognize.
“James…”
Lucjan’s face darkened as he glared at James, uttering word by word, “This is your final warning. Tell me about the
whereabouts of the Medical Book and the secret of Crucifier. If not, don’t blame me for what happens next.”
“Hehe…” James laughed. “Dream on, Lucjan.”
Lucjan’s expression darkened, and he struck James with his palm. Powerful force struck James’ body; even the
stone pillar behind him shattered into pieces. James lay motionless on the rubble, and blood

trickled down his forehead.
Upon seeing this, Thomas, who was disguised as Ezekiel, furrowed his eyebrows. He clenched his fists and
summoned all his energy to them.
At that moment, he planned to kill Lucjan once and for all.
However, he would gain nothing from it. After some thought, he decided against it.
“Lucjan, now’s not the time to kill him. Once he’s dead, you’ll never know the whereabouts of the Medical Book, nor
will you unravel the mystery behind Crucifier. Not only that, the secret of the Invincible Body Siddhi will be forever
lost.”
Hearing this, Lucjan calmed down a little.
Looking at Ezekiel in frustration, he said, “What choice do I have?”
Thomas said smilingly, “Based on my information, James cares about Thea the most. Let’s not hurry for now. Once
everything here is resolved, we can simply take James away. Then, we will find an opportunity and abduct Thea. By
then, he will do as we say.”
