Saving lives was not Thomas’ objective. The fate of the ancient martial artists did not concern him. As long as James was safe and sound, he would be content sitting by the sidelines. His objective was the virus in Lucjan’s control. Not only that, he had a plan concerning the First Blood Emperor and the Blood Race.
He did not wish for Lucjan to die either. The Gu Sect was a powerful and influential sect since a century ago. Over the past hundred years, the Gu Sect slowly developed into the behemoth it was today by recruiting many talented individuals. His objective was to control Lucjan and the entire Gu Sect.
Thomas remained silent.
Meanwhile, Lucjan turned to leave in irritation. He was annoyed that James had escaped.
At that moment, James was escaping further into the palace. He knew that the only exit was guarded by the Thousand-Machinery Formation, so this was his only available option. If he was trapped in the Thousand-Machinery Formation once more, he would not be able to escape unscathed.
He headed deeper into the underground palace. There were many passageways. Seized by panic, he simply pressed forward. At first, the passageways were still dimly lit. However, as he ventured further in, there was no illumination at all.
After some time, unable to endure any longer, he collapsed to the ground. He crawled up with great difficulty and leaned against the stone wall. Along the way, he had catalyzed True Energy to hasten his speed. However, the moment he catalyzed True Energy, he could feel excruciating pain coming from inside his body. Unable to endure any longer, he sat on the ground to catch his breath.
“I have to eradicate the Gu inside my body as soon as possible.”
A vein popped out in James’ neck. He tried using True Heavenly Yang Energy to eradicate the Gu. However, he no longer had any remaining strength left.
The sound of footsteps could be heard in the distance.
James hurriedly stood up. However, the moment he stood up, he immediately collapsed to the ground once more. Just as he collapsed to the ground, the disciples of the Gu Sect caught up.
“There’s nowhere for you to run,” a voice spoke.
Though James wanted to escape, he felt his head spinning. Unable to endure any longer, he lost consciousness.
