Chapter 1423


    Archbishop Pris tried convincing the elderly man non-stop.


    He listed out the pros and cons and analyzed the current situation.


    After a while, the elderly man asked, “Who is this… James? How’s his character?”


    “Master, he’s a Solean ancient martial artist. Though he’s young, he’s really powerful. I stand no


    chance against him whatsoever and was easily defeated. Character-wise, he seemed to be a decent


    and upright man.”


    Pris briefly described James.


    The elderly man thought about it and said, “Alright, I’ll leave this to you.


    As he said that, he closed his eyes once again and continued cultivating the Deadwood Martial


    Technique.


    “Thank you, Master.”


    Delighted, Pris hurriedly left.


    James knew nothing about the internal affairs of the Pris Sect, nor did he ask about them. After


    arriving at the sect, he concentrated on healing his injuries in the manor. As his injuries were almost


    recuperated, his injuriespletely recovered after healing for a few days.


    Meanwhile, Archbishop Pris had prepared the ingredients necessary for creating the antidote.


    James began concocting the antidote. Then, he distributed the antidotes to the martial artists who were


    suffering from Gu venom.


    In the main hall of the Pris Sect…


    Archbishop Pris was sitting in the lead while James sat below by the side. Many of the Pris Sect’s


    Sect Elders were also sitting below. Apart from that, a forty-year-old-looking man was kneeling on the


    ground.


    Archbishop Bishop said, “James, I havepleted the investigation into the matter. Indeed, a member


    of my sect headed to St. Anne’s Castle and took a mother-daughter duo from Sol. I have already cross-


    checked everything. They are the ones you’re looking for.”


    As he said that, he pointed at the man kneeling on the ground.


    “It is him, a disciple of mine. He’s in charge of the affairs of a certain Pris Sect branch. If you have


    anything you’d like to ask, feel free.”


    Upon hearing this, James stood up and slowly walked in the direction of the man.


    The man was shivering in fear.


    “Lift your head,” James said coldly.

    The man lifted his head. The moment he looked James in the eye, his body quivered in fear, and he


    hurriedly lowered his head.


    “Where are they?” James interrogated him coldly.


    “I-I have sent them to Soi.”


    “Whose orders were you following? Which part of Sol?”


    “I-I don’t know either. Someone called Rodent contacted me and gave me a sum, ordering me to do


    this.”


    “Who’s Rodent?”


    “I don’t know who he or she is. I only know that they’re from Sol, and they’re nicknamed Rodent. I don’t


    know about anything else.


    Upon hearing this, James’ expression turned grim.


    He never thought that such a simple matter would be thisplicated. Many were involved,


    which included St. Anne’s Castle and the Pris Sect. However, these two powerful forces were


    implicated incidentally.


    Upon seeing James’ surly expression, Archbishop Pris said smilingly, “Rx, James. I have already


    investigated the background of this guy called Rodent for you.”


    Hearing this, James breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Thanks, man.”


    “We’re brothers, after all. There’s no need for formalities.” Pris smiled.


    For a person who had lived for more than a hundred years to call James his brother, he was


    unconcerned at all.
