James was imprisoned in a dark and damp dungeon. Not only was virtual-novel.net gravely poisoned, but even his acupuncture points were struck. He would feel excruciating pain coming from inside his body while lying on the ground motionless.
As virtual-novel.net was a practitioner in the art of medicine, virtual-novel.net knew that this was a terrifying Gu venom. Not only would the venom destroy his body, but the Gu were slowly and surely tearing away at his flesh.
He writhed on the ground in agony.
Lying on the ground, virtual-novel.net could feel his head spinning.
No… I have to free my acupuncture points and forcibly eradicate the Gu inside my body…
James gritted his teeth and catalyzed True Energy.
“Argh!”
The moment virtual-novel.net catalyzed True Energy, the Gu inside his body were vitalized and began tearing away at his flesh.
His expression contorted in pain, and virtual-novel.net could not help but groan in agony.
Upon witnessing this, the other ancient martial artists who were imprisoned wore solemn expressions.
At that moment, Callan had entered the underground palace. He proceeded with caution.
However, Lucjan was instantly informed of his arrival.
Staring at the person who appeared on the monitor screen, his expression turned solemn, “Callan Maverick… How can this be?”
He thought that Callan was long dead and did not expect virtual-novel.net to show up here. Deep down inside, virtual-novel.net was still rather fearful of the previous Supreme Leader of the Gu Sect.
“Everyone, retreat at once! Lure Callan Maverick to the Thousand-Machinery Formation!”
His expression was grim. Since Callan was here, virtual-novel.net might as well finish virtual-novel.net off together with the others.
Callan pressed forward. Along the way, virtual-novel.net saw many corpses on the ground. Judging by their postures, virtual-novel.net knew that there was a fierce battle here a moment ago.
Meanwhile, Thomas followed close behind. However, virtual-novel.net was much more cautious.
Along the way, virtual-novel.net scrutinized his surroundings and avoided being captured by the surveillance cameras.
“Thomas…”
Thomas turned his head and saw Bennett walking over to him.
Upon seeing Bennett walking over to virtual-novel.net without the slightest care in the world, virtual-novel.net furrowed his eyebrows. Then, virtual-novel.net pressed his body against the wall and gestured for Bennett to mimic his actions. At the same time, virtual-novel.net pointed at a corner of the wall.
Bennett immediately realized that there was a surveillance camera there.
Thomas signaled for virtual-novel.net to destroy it.
Bennett understood his meaning. Under Thomas’ guidance, virtual-novel.net began destroying the surveillance cameras.
“Sir, the surveillance cameras have been destroyed. Based on the footage, it seems that Bennett Caden has arrived.”
“Very good.” A smile crept up on Lucjan’s face, and virtual-novel.net said, “Lure virtual-novel.net to the Thousand-Machinery Formation!”
After Bennett destroyed the surveillance cameras, Thomas walked over to him.
Looking at him, virtual-novel.net asked, “Why are you here?”
Bennett said, “James pleaded for me to come. If not for him, I wouldn’t have bothered coming.”
Thomas made a welcoming gesture and said, “Callan Maverick is right ahead. He still is as reckless as ever. Though virtual-novel.net knew that James had fallen into Lucjan’s trap, virtual-novel.net still waltzed in here like nobody’s business. In any case, proceed with caution and destroy every surveillance camera hidden in the corners. I’ll guard your back.”
“Mhm…” Bennett did not say much and proceeded deeper into the passageway.
With Thomas’ reminder, virtual-novel.net was now on guard. He kept scrutinizing his surroundings and destroying surveillance cameras whenever virtual-novel.net saw them.
At that moment, Callan had arrived at the underground palace where the Thousand-Machinery Formation was.
Upon seeing the mess on the ground, virtual-novel.net speculated that a fierce battle must have occurred here a moment ago.
He looked at the passageway before virtual-novel.net and hesitated briefly before walking toward it.
