Chapter 1553
He had suspected that it was either Thea or Thomas all along.
However, he had no conclusive evidence.
It never urred to him that Celestial Sect’s leader would really be his wife, Thea, the woman who had endured so much
suffering in the past.
“By the way, you said that Thea sent a letter of challenge to Tobias?”All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
“Yeah.”
“News of it has already spread in the ancient martial world. What’s going on? Weren’t you with Thea?” said Maxine.
“There were some unexpected circumstances.”
James briefly exined what had happened while he was recovering.
“Grandpa felt that the Spirit Turtle’s blood in Thea’s body showed great promise. He wanted to force Thea to experience an
Energy Deviation so that she’d fully utilize the Spirit Turtle’s blood. Has anything major happened in the ancient martial world
since then? Do you know if there has been any internal discord within Celestial Sect?”
Before Maxine could exin, Bet interrupted their conversation and said, “Nothing has happened. The ancient martial world
has been rtively peaceful. However, many martial artists had their True Energy absorbed by Tobias in Malgudi.”
“What''s the current situation regarding Tobias? Do you have an idea how strong he’s gotten since he’s absorbed my True Energy
as well as that of other martial artists?” asked James concernedly.
Bet shook his head and said, “I don’t know. Tobias hasn’t made an appearance since the battle in Malgudi.”
“Where’s Lucjan and the First Blood Emperor?” asked James.
Bet said, “After Celestial Sect’s leader took you away, | rescued some other martial artists. Afterward, we fought against
Lucjan and the First Blood Emperor. Both parties were injured during the battle and eventually fled...”
He went over what transpired after Thea took James away.
Although Lucjan had not been killed, the Gu Sect suffered heavy losses.
Lucjan had not shown up since the battle in Malgudi.
During this period, things in the Capital had been rtively peaceful, and there was no further activity by the Gu Sect or Orient
Commerce.
Hearing this, James sighed in relief.
However, he still had not found out Thea’s whereabouts.
The only news about her was that she had challenged Tobias to a duel to the death at Mt. Thunder Pass.
Tobias absorbed not only James’ True Energy but also the True Energy of many other martial artists. Yet, no one knew what rank
he had reached after having done this.
James was unsure of Thea’s condition and whether she had already suffered an Energy Deviation.
After learning about these recent developments, James stood up and proceeded to depart.
A flustered Maxine inquired, “W-Where are you going?”
“I''m going to the Southern ins. To Mt. Thunder Pass.”
After James stated his destination, he walked out of the house.
“Grand Patriarch, what should we do?” Maxine turned to Bet.
Bet''s brow furrowed and left deep creases on his forehead. He thought for a moment and answered, “This is a situation that
involves our family. James is a Caden, and Thea is his wife. I''ll have to go to the Southern ins to observe the situation.”
“Grand Patriarch, let me apany you...”
Bet waved his hand and stopped Maxine, saying, “The Cadens still need someone to take charge of things here. You must
stay and keep an eye on things.”
“Alright.” Maxine nodded.
Although she wanted to be at the van to keep up with the situation, there were indeed many things that needed her attention in
the Capital.
James left the Cadens’ mansion and headed to the Southern ins with Henry.
The forces stationed in the Southern
ins were not united. mesOltl

She was dressed in a ck dress, and her long ck hair had turned greyish-white.
Her long white hair hovered in the air.
A dreadful and oppressive energy radiated from her.
Her ck eyes had taken on a red hue. At that moment, her appearance looked malevolent and demonic.
