Chapter 939


    James was also relieved that Thea had acquired third-rank Internal Energy.


    Now, he could finally rx and stop worrying about her getting into trouble.


    Instead of responding to Thea, he turned around and stared at the cavern’s entrance nearby.


    Thea was tactful and stood by quietly without asking any further.


    "Haa..."


    James sighed deeply in resignation.


    When the man thought to be his grandfather showed up, he was both ecstatic and concerned.He was


    ecstatic because his grandfather was still alive.


    In contrast, he was concerned that his grandfather was, as Tobias and Maxine had described him, a


    vile and unforgivable devil.


    James wished he could find his grandfather and learn the truth from him.He wanted to hear from him


    directly that he was not who they imed he was.


    However, his grandfather fell into the bottomless abyss only moments after they met.


    Although he saw him fall, James was powerless to stop it.


    "Honey, Grandfather wanted you to live a good life and didn''t want you to be involved in any sort of


    conflict.Nevertheless, you were already caught up in it, so he racked his brain and did everything he


    could to increase your power and make you invincible."


    Thea, who was standing by, said softly, "Grandfather told me when he and his immediate family were


    driven out of the Caden family, they came to Cansington and established a new life here.His cultivation


    base was also removed, but he refused to give up.Instead, he concentrated his studies on medical


    skills in order to find ways to regain his strength.


    "That was because he knew that the internal conflict in the family hadn''te to an end.He was aware


    that the Cadens would contact him at some point.


    "Ten years ago, the Caden residence was consumed by mes.Grandfather only managed to get away


    by pure luck.


    After that, he went into hiding and built the God-King Pce.


    "He didn’t find you because he was afraid.The Cadens are far too powerful.If he showed himself, he


    would surely be killed.He’s gone now, but he left you the God-King Pce."


    After hearing that, James could not help but turn to Thea and ask, "Did Grandfather tell you about what


    happened in the Caden family thirty years ago, and why he was expelled?"


    "He did mention a little," Thea said, nodding her head.


    "I’m listening."


    James took a seat on a rock.He had always been curious about the events of thirty years ago, and


    even more so about his grandfather''s character.


    Thea took a moment to think back as she stood in front of James and peered into the distance.


    "ording to Grandfather, conflict was always present within the Caden family, and he had no desire


    to vie for the position of patriarch.He was gifted in martial arts, but the martial arts he practiced were


    not the ones passed down through the Caden family.Instead, it was a cultivation method that was left


    behind by a devil.That''s why outsiders thought he was evil.


    "Thirty years ago, he was unexpectedly attacked while cultivating, disrupting the flow of his True


    Energy and causing him to suffer from Energy deviation.He lost his mind and became violent.He


    attacked people at the Caden residence, killing many members of the Caden family.Finally, the Grand


    Patriarch of the Caden family stepped forward to subdue him and remove his Devilish Energy.


    Then, they expelled him from the family.


    "He understood that even though he had been kicked out of the family and had his cultivation base


    removed, the Cadens would not leave him alone as long as he was still alive.So, before he left, he stole


    the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside''s Edge painting.He said that as long as he had that painting, the Caden


    family would not take him lightly.


    "However, in the end, he still couldn’t stop the unfortunate fate that befell the Caden family." Thea


    spoke softly as she described the past.

    James was puzzled as he listened and asked, "Did Grandfather ever reveal to you who it was that


    attacked him, causing him to experience an Energy deviation and go insane?"


    Thea shook her head.


    "Grandfather had no idea who it was either.He could only guess it was someone from the Caden


    family.Grandfather’s talent was impressive, and he possessed the highest level of martial arts mastery


    among the Caden family''s younger generations, so it was an unspoken agreement that he would be


    the patriarch.Tobias is the current patriarch, so it’s highly likely that he was the one responsible."


    James began to lose himself in thought.


    Although he did not have much interaction with Tobias, he was almost certain that Tobias was not


    someone who would plot and scheme for the position of patriarch.


    "What else did he tell you?" James inquired.


    Thea replied, "During that time, he told me a lot of stories, some of which were about the Gu Sect a


    century ago.


    However, since these events are now considered taboo, people rarely bring them up, and Grandfather


    didn''t know much either.


    He simply stated that the establishment of the Empire of Sol had cost far too many lives and that the


    three major families of the Gu Sect had all been sacrificed.During the war, these three families made


    heroic contributions to the establishment of the country.In the end, though, people were wary of them


    and they were all wiped out."
