Chapter 1396
“The Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect?”
James momentarily froze before turning around and staring at Thea’s retreating figure. Furrowing his eyebrows, he murmured, “She’s the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect?”
He did not think much about it.
Then, he turned and looked at Lucjan, who seemed to be in high spirits. His hair was no longer white, and he seemed to look much younger.
Wearing a solemn expression, he muttered silently under his breath, “Looks like Lucjan has completely refined and absorbed the Spirit Turtle’s core. Before that, he was already an eighth-rank grandmaster. Who knows which Skyward Stairway stair he’s ascended?”
After momentarily freezing, James recollected himself and looked at Lucjan, saying coldly, “I heard I was pursued by your men after being knocked unconscious by Yaakov Johnston.”
“Is that so…? Did that happen?” Lucjan looked at his subordinates.
They immediately shook their heads.
Lucjan said smilingly, “James, don’t allow an individual’s accusations to sow discord between us. Why would I do such a thing to you when I admire you so? Although we’re currently on opposing sides, I believe that there’s no such thing as permanent enemies, only permanent interests.”
“Hmph!”
James grunted. Without saying anything else, he turned to leave.
After he left, Lucjan’s face darkened, and he said coldly, “Since you’re unwilling to become my tool, only death awaits you.”
James left and began ascending the mountain.
Lucjan’s appearance was as he had expected.
Lucjan’s looks made him realize that he was now a terrifying force to be reckoned with. Perhaps he had reached the level Callan was at during the Mount Thunder Conference-the second stair of the Skyward Stairway.
