James frowned slightly.
He looked at Thea sitting on the sofa with a black sword and asked, “Thea, what happened in the Mount Thunder Sect when you left?”
Thea was immersed in her thoughts when she was suddenly interrupted by James’ question. She recollected herself and said, “The martial artists buried underground were rescued. As for what happened after that, I don’t know.”
Hearing this, James heaved a sigh of relief.
He thought perhaps he could not get through to Henry’s phone because he was still around the Mount Thunder Sect without any signal.
James decided not to linger in the Capital anymore and left on a private military plane.
Meanwhile, Gloom returned to the Peace Mansion in the Capital.
His phone had no signal while he was around the Mount Thunder Sect, hence he could only give brief reports about the general situation, missing out on the details.
Now that he had returned, he explained the events that transpired in the Mount Thunder Sect.
“What?”
After hearing Gloom’s report, the King’s expression changed slightly.
“The Old King is still alive and appeared in the Mount Thunder Sect? He even participated in the battle against the Spirit Turtle? Sky, one of the four powerhouses alongside the Old King, also showed up?”
Gloom nodded and said, “That’s right. This was a scheme set up by James’ grandfather, Thomas. He’d been hiding and planning to slay the Spirit Turtle for decades. In order to achieve this, he deliberately led countless martial artists to the Mount Thunder Sect. After it was killed, a core appeared, but the core shattered into eight pieces.”
The King asked with a solemn expression, “What are the casualties among this batch of martial artists?”
“The casualties are very high. According to the reports, about three thousand out of the over ten thousand martial artists that headed to the Mount Thunder Sect survived. As for the stronger martial artists, there isn’t any certain news yet. I don’t know how many of them the combat aircraft killed.”
The King inquired, “Who got their hands on the eight cores?”
Gloom shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”
Hearing this, the King fell into silence.
