Chapter 857
The Four Great Protectors of the God-King Palace clashed head-on against the Johnstons’ disciples.
The Four Great Protectors were sent flying by the shockwave of the collision. After landing on the ground, they hurriedly took a few steps back.
Meanwhile. Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning stood as if they were entirely unaffected.
It was apparent that the Four Great Protectors were the weaker of the two parties. Thea narrowed her eyes. “Shall I interpret this as the Jolinstons openly antagonizing the Cadens? If so, I'll report this to my grandfather.”
Wearing an unpleasant expression, Hades looked right at her. “Surely you jest, Ms. Maxine. For thousands of years, the Ancient Four have co-existed peacefully. and the Johnstons have always taken the teachings of our ancestors to heart. The same cannot be said of the Cadens, however. Not only did you create the God- King Palace, but you even killed a member of the Johnstons in cold blood. Do you truly wish to pick a fight against us?”.
Thea remained silent.
She glanced at James out of the corner of her eye. The pain and the severity of his injuries caused him to lose consciousness. She said, “Grandfather will hear of this.”
The Four Great Protectors carefully lifted James’ body up. Then, they swiftly made their exit as the Johnstons continued gazing at them bitterly.
Wearing a grim expression, Kennedy asked, “Patriarch. are we really letting them waltz away scot-free?”
Hades replied solemnly, “It seems like the Cadens are determined to strike first. I have a feeling that chaos will soon descend upon the Capital. I wonder what rank of Internal Martial Arts the Cadens’ patriarch has reached?”
One of the prominent members of the Johnstons who was present quickly responded, “I believe he’s achieved a considerable rank. By now, they should have unraveled the secrets of the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge.”
“You're all free to leave now.” Hades waved his hand in dismissal.
Thea loaded the unconscious James into a black sedan. One of the black-robed men examined his injuries.
Thea asked anxiously, “How is he?”
The man spoke in a hoarse voice, “He’s gravely injured. Before his previous injuries could fully recover, his meridians were destroyed and the True Energy he had cultivated was forcefully dispersed throughout his body. In the process, his own organs took the brunt of the force released by the True Energy. He needs to be sent to the hospital immediately or his life will be in further danger.”
“What?”
When she realized that there was a very real possibility that James would die, Thea’s face paled. She frantically turned to the
Four, Great protectors. “A-Aren’t you guys martial arts experts?! Can’t you do something to help him?!!"
“Young lady, we aren't able to do anything for him as we don’t have any medical knowledge. The best we can do for him at this moment is to send him to the hospital posthaste and retreat quickly. All forces inside the Capital have their eyes on the Johnstons. If we don’t leave now, we'll be in deep trouble.”
