Chapter 1522


    James was imprisoned in a dark and damp dungeon. Not only was he gravely poisoned, but even his


    acupuncture points were struck. He would feel excruciating paining from inside his body while


    lying on the ground motionless.


    As he was a practitioner in the art of medicine, he knew that this was a terrifying Gu venom. Not only


    would the venom destroy his body, but the Gu were slowly and surely tearing away at his flesh. He


    writhed on the ground in agony.


    Lying on the ground, he could feel his head spinning. “No… I have to free my acupuncture points and


    forcibly eradicate the Gu inside my body.”


    James gritted his teeth and catalyzed True Energy.


    “Argh!”


    The moment he catalyzed True Energy, the Gu inside his body were vitalized and began tearing away


    at his flesh.


    His expression contorted in pain, and he could not help but groan in agony.


    Upon witnessing this, the other ancient martial artists who were imprisoned wore solemn expressions.


    At that moment, Can had entered the underground pce.


    He proceeded with caution. However, Lucjan was instantly informed of his arrival.


    Staring at the person who appeared on the monitor screen, his expression turned solemn, “Can


    Maverick… How can this be?”


    He thought that Can was long dead and did not expect him to show up here. Deep down inside, he


    was still rather fearful of the previous Supreme Leader of the Gu Sect.

    “Everyone, retreat at once. Lure Can Maverick to the Thousand-Machinery Formation.”


    His expression was grim. Since Can was here, he might as well finish him off together with the


    others. Can pressed forward. Along the way, he saw many corpses on the ground. Judging by their


    postures, he knew that there was a fierce battle here a moment ago.


    Meanwhile, Thomas followed close behind. However, he was much more cautious. Along the way, he


    scrutinized his surroundings and avoided being captured by the surveince cameras.


    “Thomas…”


    Thomas turned his head and saw Bet walking over to him.


    Upon seeing Bet walking over to him without the slightest care in the world, he furrowed his


    eyebrows. Then, he pressed his body against the wall and gestured for Bet to mimic his actions. At


    the same time, he pointed at a corner of the wall.


    Bet immediately realized that there was a surveince camera there.


    Thomas signaled for him to destroy it.


    Bet understood his meaning. Under Thomas’ guidance, he began destroying the surveince


    cameras.


    “Sir, the surveince cameras have been destroyed. Based on the footage, it seems that Bet


    Caden has arrived.”


    “Very good.” A smile crept up on Lucjan’s face, and he said, “Lure him to the Thousand-Machinery


    Formation.”


    After Bet destroyed the surveince cameras, Thomas walked over to him. Looking at him, he


    asked, “Why are you here?”


    Bet said, “James pleaded for me toe. If not for him, I wouldn’t have bothereding.”


    Thomas made a weing gesture and said, “Can Maverick is right ahead. He still is as reckless as


    ever. Though he knew that James had fallen into Lucjan’s trap, he still waltzed in here like nobody’s


    business. In any case, proceed with caution and destroy every surveince camera hidden in the


    corners. I’ll guard your back.”


    “Mhm.”


    Bet did not say much and proceeded deeper into the passageway.


    With Thomas’ reminder, he was now on guard. He kept scrutinizing his surroundings and destroying


    surveince cameras whenever he saw them.


    At that moment, Can had arrived at the underground pce where the Thousand-Machinery


    Formation was. Upon seeing the mess on the ground, he spected that a fierce battle must have


    urred here a moment ago. He looked at the passageway before him and hesitated briefly before


    walking toward it.
