Chapter 1463


    James did not expect Tapio to surrender.


    He thought that they would duel to the death today, with only one victor leaving Mt. Thunder Pass alive.


    James sat in a lotus position, performed the healing cultivation method from the medical book, and


    began tending to his wounds.


    “His True Energy is chilling me to my bones.”


    James shivered uncontrobly.


    Even though he had expelled the True Frost Energy, he still felt a chill in his body.


    From a great distance away, Thea was relieved to see that the battle had ended and quietly left.


    While James was treating his wounds, Diney returned.


    Diney looked at James, who was healing himself, and tried not to disturb him.


    While treating his wounds, James looked at Diney who had returned, and asked in concern, “They


    didn’t make things difficult for you, did they?”


    Diney wordlessly shook her head.


    James asked again, “What’s going on? Who was that man, and why did you call him brother? Is he


    also a disciple of Mount Thunder Sect?”


    Diney nodded gently as she looked to the ground with a despondent expression. “Mhm. He’s my


    eldest brother. He left Mount Thunder Sect about ten years ago. It happened when I was still in my


    teens. I couldn’tprehend what had happened back then. I only learned of the situation after my


    father exined it to me a few yearster.” Tell me all you know.”


    James looked at Diney with serious eyes.


    Although it was actually Mount Thunder Sect’s affairs, Tapio sent him a letter of challenge, so James


    was considered to be someone who was involved in the situation.


    Diney thought for a while and said, “Everything started because of a martial art manual.”


    “What kind of martial art manual?”


    “Spiritual Art.”


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


    “What?”


    James stood up in astonishment. He looked at Diney incredulously and asked, “What did you say?!


    Spiritual Art?”


    “Yeah.”


    Diney nodded as she exined the details.


    James learned that Spiritual Art was stored in Mount Thunder Sect, but outsiders had no idea what that


    term even eas.


    He finally had an idea of where his grandfather learned Spiritual Art from.


    It must have been from Mount Thunder Sect.


    Diney asked, “By the way, did my brother tell you who he served?”


    After James had stabilized his injuries, he stood up again. He shook his head and replied, “He left


    before I could ask him. I chased after him, but he was too fast to catch. Your brother is an incredibly


    powerful man. I’m an eighth-ranked grandmaster, yet I could decisively beat him. Even when I used the


    Thirteen Heavenly Sword. If I hadn’t learned the Invincible Body Siddhi, I would have lost this time.”


    “Huff.”


    Diney heaved a deep sigh.


    “By the way, Spiritual Art…”


    James suddenly remembered something.


    He recalled the palm attack Tapio used against himst.


    The palm attack was powerful and abnormal.


    However, he was unsure if Tapio had used Spiritual Art.


    James had to ask Thea about it after returning.


    Diney asked, “What’s wrong with Spiritual Art?”


    “N-Nothing.”


    James gently shook his head and said, “Your eldest brother said the person I’m looking for is outside


    Mount Thunder Sect. Let’s go have a look first.”


    “Okay.”


    Diney nodded.


    James and Diney quickly left.


    After they descended the mountain, they headed to the car they had parked a few days ago.


    James walked over and opened the car door.


    A woman was lying in the back seat of the car.


    The woman was unconscious.


    James took a look and identified her as Delh.


    He quickly woke her up.


    Delh opened her eyes in a daze. A slightly familiar face entered her sight. After a while, she came to


    her and asked, “J-James? Is that you, James?”


    “It’s me.”


    James nodded and said, “You don’t have to say anything right now. We’ll head back to the Southern


    ins and get you settled first.”


    He immediately got into the driver’s seat and drove the car away.


    Meanwhile, inside a cavern deep in the forest on Mount Thunder Pass…


    A person sat on a higher tform in an empty area within the cavern.


    There was a curtain covering the man, and it was hard to see discern his identity.


    Tapio knelt on the ground. His pale face looked forlorn as he said, “I was defeated.”
