After Callan told him not to act recklessly, James did not contact anyone else. After he returned home, he simply rested.
In the room at night…
Thea held James in her embrace and asked softly, “Darling, when are we going to Malgudi?”
James said, “We’ll wait for news from the Mount Thunder Sect. Once I discuss matters with Callan tomorrow, I’ll head over to the Mount Thunder Sect and meet up with Jackson Cabral.”
Thea said with consternation, “I feel like something’s amiss.”
James asked, “Why? What’s wrong?”
The Celestial Sect was the one who found out about this. However, Thea was worried about the manner in which they investigated. This was information obtained by disciples of the Celestial Sect who successfully infiltrated the Gu Sect. This matter should be one of the Gu Sect’s top secrets, which only high-ranking members would know. However, the Celestial Sect managed to get its hands on the information without great difficulty. Their objective could be to lure James and the ancient martial artists there to annihilate them all at once.
Thea was lost in contemplation. Naturally, she could not divulge how she managed to learn of this.
“I don’t know either… It’s just my instinct.”
Smiling, James said, “Relax, everything will be fine. Almost the entire martial world will be joining us. Even if the entire nation of Malgudi is a trap, we will simply break through it.”
Even so, Thea was still worried.
The Gu Sect utilized Gu venom. No matter how powerful the martial artists were, they would only be lambs to the slaughter after being poisoned by Gu venom.
“I hope I’m just overthinking things.”
Thea fell silent.
