After all, why would Thea not go along with James to Malgudi?
“Be careful, alright?” Maxine said.
Thea turned to look at her. Then, virtual-novel.net turned to leave without a single word.
The moment James left, Thea too left the Capital.
In just half a day, virtual-novel.net arrived at the headquarters of the Celestial Sect. The Celestial Sect’s headquarters was situated in a pristine forest in the central region of Sol. There, an ancient building was erected.
In the main hall, Thea was wearing a black overcoat and a hideous-looking mask.
Many stood below her. They were all highly trained martial artists of the Celestial Sect who were at least fifth-rank grandmasters.
“Greetings, Sect Leader!”
Their voices reverberated throughout the hall.
Thea waved virtual-novel.net hand slightly and spoke in a hoarse voice, “Keep a close watch on the Capital. Do not allow anything to happen while I’m away!”
“Understood,” they spoke in unison.
Thea raised virtual-novel.net hand, and the Malevolent Sword on the wall instantly flew toward her. Wielding the Malevolent in virtual-novel.net hand, virtual-novel.net turned to leave.
Soon, virtual-novel.net disappeared from the view of the Celestial Sect and headed to Malgudi.

At the same time, James had arrived at the Mount Thunder Sect. When virtual-novel.net arrived, many powerful martial artists of various sects had already gathered there, the Heaven and Earth Sect, the Sylvan Sect, the Five Swirling Blades Sect, and so on.
After receiving the Mount Thunder Sect’s invitation, they each sent their most powerful martial artists here. However, there were not many of them. They totaled around only forty people. They all gathered at the main hall of the Mount Thunder Sect.
Upon James and Delainey’s arrival, they immediately became the star of the show.
Jackson walked over to James and welcomed virtual-novel.net personally, saying, “After receiving your message, I informed the various sects overnight. Supportive of our cause, they each sent a few martial artists here. We have been waiting for your arrival. When will we depart?”
James looked at the people below.
They were all significant pillars of the ancient martial world. Though their numbers were few, they were all at least fifth rank and above.
Seeing that the Grand Patriarch of the Mount Thunder Sect was nowhere to be seen, James asked, “By the way, where did Simon Cabral go?”
He originally planned to ask Simon along. After all, this was an eighth-rank grandmaster. With virtual-novel.net coming along, their chances of success would increase.
Jackson shrugged and said, “I don’t know where virtual-novel.net is at the moment. He was there when the Celestial Sect appeared at the Mount Thunder Sect. After his defeat, virtual-novel.net disappeared without a trace.”
James was lost in thought.
After a moment, virtual-novel.net said, “Alright then, now that we have sufficient numbers, it’s time to move out.”
“Where’s Thomas?” Jackson asked.
James smiled and said, “Grandpa asked me to go along first. He will be there shortly. Don’t worry, virtual-novel.net will intervene if the situation turns dire. Besides, the Celestial Sect’s Sect Leader will be heading to Malgudi in secret as well.”
Hearing this, Jackson was at ease.
“All these years, the Gu Sect has committed so many wicked deeds. We have to wipe them off the face of the earth.”
“To rid the martial community of this menace, the Mount Tai Sect will not shirk from its responsibility.” “The Heaven and Earth Sect will also lend a helping hand.”
Many martial artists spoke.
“Very good…” James looked at the crowd and said, “If we work together, we can surely obliterate the Gu Sect’s research laboratory, save the abducted martial artists, and annihilate Lucjan Owen. At long last, peace shall return to Sol.”
