Chapter 877


    At that moment, a crazy thought shed through James’ mind.


    Forcing True Energy to move in a retrograde motion caused irreversible damage to his body.


    He copsed to the ground and vomited blood non-stop.


    Blood oozed out from his body and made contact with the ancient scroll and the Moonlit Flowers on


    Cliffside’s Edge.


    At that moment, something in the painting changed.


    Right when he was on the verge of losing consciousness, James saw the full moon disappear and the


    white flower wither.


    They were reced by a scorching sun.


    Illuminated by the sunlight, the scenery changed, and a few words appeared in the woods.


    "What..."


    James was stunned.


    He opened his eyes wide and stared at the words in the painting.


    Though the words were in ancient script used thousands of years ago, James recognized them.


    He etched them in his mind.


    Then, he fainted.


    The bloodstain on the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge disappeared, and the painting returned to


    normal.


    After some time, Maxine walked in.


    The moment she entered the basement, she saw James lying ina pool of blood.


    The ancient scroll was soaked in his blood, turningpletely red.


    Only the painting was untouched.


    She hurriedly made her way over to James and crouched down beside him.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    "James..."


    However, James did not reply.


    She hurriedly went and inspected his injuries.


    Sensing that he was in danger, she quickly carried him out of the basement.


    "Grandpa!"


    She cried out.


    Whoosh! Tobias appeared out of thin air.


    Looking at the bloodied James, he asked, "What happened?"


    Maxine hurriedly exined, "I don’t know either.When I entered the basement, I saw him lying in a pool


    of blood.I’ve inspected his injuries.I’m sure he’s in mortal danger."


    "Bring him to the room."


    "Understood."


    Maxine carried James into a room.


    In the room, Tobias inspected James’ injuries.


    Subsequently, his face darkened.


    "What the hell did he do? How did he get so badly injured?"


    "Can he be saved, grandpa?"


    Maxine was anxious.


    “I’ll try."


    Tobias got onto the bed and sat in a lotus position.


    Then, pressing his hands against James’ chest, he applied a great suction force.


    James’ body immediately jolted upright, assuming a lotus position.


    Then, Tobias raised his hands and applied True Energy to James’ back to heal his injuries.


    Just a few minutes in and Tobias waspletely drenched in sweat.


    He stopped, and James’ body went limp.


    Maxine asked, "How is he?"


    Tobias shook his head and sighed.


    "His injuries are too serious.I can’t save him.He’ll die in the next three days."


    "What?"


    Maxine’s face paled.


    "What should we do, then?"


    Tobias said, "He must have forcibly moved True Energy ina retrograde motion ording to the


    meridian diagram.His organs have ruptured..."


    Saying that, he frowned.


    "Didn''t his True Energy already disperse? How could he still catalyze it?"


    Tobias looked at Maxine.


    She shook her head.


    "I-I don’t know either."


    "This guy..."


    Tobias sighed.


    ‘He had a chance to live, but he just had to get himself killed."
