Chapter 1800
In the courtyard, Thea looked at James.
James said in frustration, “I really don’t know what happened.”
Thea asked, “What does Floret Palace have to do with anything?”
James narrated the events that unfolded in the ancient martial world to her
Upon hearing this, Thea furrowed her eyebrows.
“What is Maxine up to? Why did she harm an innocent man for no reason and direct him to you?”
James gestured and said, “How would I know? In any case, we shouldn’t pay any heed to her Come, let me carry
you in for now. I’ll see to the injured man later.”
“No, you promised me that you’d never intervene in the affairs of the ancient martial world.” Wearing a surly
expression, Thea said, “Besides, Callan possesses great medical skills too. Saving someone’s life should be a piece
of cake for him.”
“I’m just going to have a look. I won’t do anything.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“No means no.”
“Alright, then.”
James shrugged.
Outside the courtyard.
Upon learning of the events that unfolded, Callan furrowed his eyebrows and murmured, “What is Maxine up to?”
Then, he said, “Carry him to the room next door. I’ll do my best to save him.” Having said that, he pointed at a
wooden house not too far away.
At the same time, on a tree at the peak of a mountain behind the village.
A glamorous-looking woman wearing an elegant dress gazed upon the village below. Though she was a distance
away, she could clearly see the events that were unfolding. Upon seeing Callan saving the injured man’s life, a faint
smile crept up on her face. Then, in the blink of an eye, she disappeared without
a trace
The night passed silently.
The next day.
James woke up before daybreak.
He sat in a lotus position on the ground in the courtyard and used the Lunar and Terra Art’s breathing method to
absorb the slight trace of Empyrean Spiritual Energy in the air. At that moment, he noticed his True Energy boosting
slightly as the Empyrean Spiritual Energy entered his body.
“What?”
He was dumbfounded.
Over the past three years, his True Energy remained the same even though he absorbed Empyrean Spiritual
Energy every morning. Only his body structure, specifically his bones, had undergone drastic changes. His physical
capabilities had increased by leaps and bounds compared to three years ago. Yesterday, after absorbing the herb’s
Empyrean Spiritual Energy, his True Energy increased for the first time in three years. Now, his True Energy was
boosted once more.
As he sat in a lotus position on the ground, his body radiated a faint halo. The halo was bizarre, half of the halo was
white, while the other half was black. The two colors were intermingling with one another.
At that moment, Thea walked over to him. Upon seeing him cultivating, she decided not to bother him. So, she sat
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmby the side and observed him in silence. As she watched him, a smile crept up on her face.
Time passed
Soon, the sun rose.
As the sun rose above the horizon, the Empyrean Spiritual Energy in the air grew increasingly thin. Then, it
completely dispersed.
James stopped.
Looking at Thea who was sitting not too far away, he said with a bright smile, “Thea, my True Energy has increased
again. Based on my current speed, I should be able to break through to the ninth rank in no time!”
“Mhm.”
Thea nodded and smiled.
James walked over to her and took a seat beside her.
Thea said, I’ve contemplated for the whole night. However, I still can’t figure out what Maxine is up to Why did she
injure a man and direct him to you? Is she trying to force you to show yourself?
“This makes no sense at all. What would she gain out of this?”
“There’s no need to overthink things,” James said. “Just ignore her”
Thea looked at James and said tartly. “Could it be that she’s still hung up on you? Maybe she’s displeased that
you’ve retreated into the mountains with me. That’s why she’s creating disturbances to force you to show yourself.”
