Chapter 742
James was interested in the history of the Gu Sect that existed a hundred years ago
ke harked back to the past, and after a while, he said, “It’s a long story. The Gu Sect has always
been isted from the world. It wasn’t until a hundred years ago that our existence was exposed.
“Three major families formed the Gu Sect—the Mavericks, the Davis, and the Owens. Consequently,
there were three patriots.
“A hundred years ago, someone infiltrated our vige and sought out the Mavericks‘ head. This person
wanted to use our Gu raising abilities and venom to conquer the world. “My family, the kes, united
with the Owens and allied with some martial arts experts from the outside world to wipe out the
Mavericks.”
Halfway through the story, ke took a deep breath.
“This happened a hundred years ago when Sol had just been founded. The person who initiated the
battle against Gu raisers was the then King of Sol. After wiping out the Mavericks, he betrayed us. He
was afraid our families would also attempt to turn the world upside down with our Gu raising skills and
decided to eradicate the remaining two families. Only a few of our ancestors were fortunate enough to
escape death.
“After that, the Gu Sect became history and was slowly forgotten. It was as if they never existed
before.”
ke‘s story came to an end.
James was surprised that such shocking events had taken ce during Sol‘s founding period.
Thud!
ke mmed his fists on the table, shattering the ss table into pieces.
With a grim expression, he roared furiously, “Back then, the Davis made great contributions when Sol
was faced with a crisis. In the end, the King of Sol betrayed us.”
Tames looked at him curiously and asked, “What does this have to do with Reign killing your whole
family?”
“My direct ancestors were fortunate not to have been in the vige when the tragedy happened. That‘s
how they narrowly escaped death. After the vige was destroyed, my great grandfather led our family
into seclusion, and we lived peacefully. However, when I was ten, Reign discovered us and attempted
to coax us into joining his n.”
James inquired, “What n?”
ke exined, “The same n a hundred years ago–conquering the world with Gu. My grandfather
refused to be part of it. Reign knew we had mastered Gu raising skills, and since we chose not to join
him, he wanted us dead.”
Hearing this, James fell into thought. After a while, he asked, “Does the Emperor know about your
identity?”
ke shook his head and said, “No, If he knew, he would‘ve killed me long ago. He only knows me as
the Assassin King and has been trying to recruit me. That‘s why he‘s yet to kill me.”
“So, are you capable of detoxifying the venom?”
ke looked at James and shook his head. “No. My great–grandfather knew the dangers of Gu and
burned everything rted to it. However, he did pass down the knowledge to my grandfather and
father. I was also exposed to it as a kid, but I‘m not exactly proficient.”
James‘ face darkened. “How dare you deceive me, ke? If I can break you out of prison, send you
back in there.”
“Hold on, James. Let me finish.”
James red at him.
ke exined, “Gus are terrifying parasites that carry countless viruses. One can only wait for death
after being poisoned. However, they‘re afraid of one thing.”
“What?”
“True Energy.” “True Energy?” James was confused. ke noticed James‘ perplexed expression and
could not help but ask, “Are you saying that despite almost reaching the pinnacle of martial arts, you
don‘t know about True Energy? You‘re only one step away from cultivating True Energy and bing
a grandmaster...”

He hit the nail on the head.
James relied on his knowledge to make medicine for himself to improve his physical qualities.
Never had he once heard of True Energy.
