Chapter 1653


    James rushed out of the ruined courtyard like a madman.


    "Where did you go? Where in the world could you have gone?!"


    At that moment, he was like a crazed beast and struggled to form coherent thoughts.He had no idea


    where he was headed, nor did he know where to find Thea.


    "Cansington! Right, it must be Cansington!"


    The idea suddenly popped into James’ mind.He immediately rushed to the military region, boarded a


    private ne, and rushed to Cansington.


    More than half an hour after James had left, Maxine arrived at the courtyard.

    However, James was nowhere to be seen when she arrived.


    All that was left was the ruined courtyard.She stood outside the ruins, and her lips curved into a frown.


    Although she knew James would flip out after finding out Thea had left, she believed that it would only


    be temporary.


    Maxine was sure James would ovee his sadness and cheer up again.She simply needed to wait


    until he recovered from the initial shock.


    Half a dayter.


    James rushed into the Cahans’ vi in Cansington.


    As soon as he entered the Cahans’ vi, he bumped into dys, who was carrying her bag and


    about to head out.He rushed over to her and shouted, "Did Theae back?"


    "Huh?"


    dys was startled by the figure that suddenly rushed in and shouted at her.


    After realizing it was James, she sighed in relief.


    With a bright smile, she responded to him, "James, my good son-inw.You’re back?"


    "Did Theae back? Where is she? Where’s Thea?"


    James bellowed frantically at her.


    dys was taken aback by his shouting.


    After a few seconds, she returned to her senses and said, "Shouldn’t Thea be with you? Hasn’t she


    been staying in the Capital all this while?"


    "What? She didn’t return here?"


    James looked like he had been struck by lightning.


    His legs gave way, and he copsed to the floor, unable to get back up.


    dys was unsure of what had happened.


    When she witnessed James’ unusual expression, she did not dare to approach or speak to James.


    James stayed on the floor for about a minute.


    Then, he suddenly stood up, turned, and left silently.


    Three dayster...


    "Have you heard about James revealing the news about how he has the Novenary Golden Pills? The


    very same ones that are fabled to allow a martial artist to enter the ninth rank and attain immortality.


    He spread the news that he would reward anyone who had information on Thea’s whereabouts with a


    Novenary Golden Pill."


    "Yeah, I heard about it."


    "The whole world is looking for Thea."


    "How did this happen? What happened to Thea? Why is James looking for her?"


    "Who knows?"


    "Perhaps they had a lover’s quarrel."


    News about James’ search for Thea quickly spread through the ancient martial world.


    The Novenary Golden Pills were a tempting reward and enticed many martial artists to join the search


    for Thea.


    After James released the news, he headed to the Jade Sect with the Primordial Dragon de.


    Countless mountains surrounded Mount Jade.


    At the foot of a thousand-meter-high mountain, a lone man appeared.


    He held a sword in his hand.


    It had a white scabbard, but the sword hilt was golden with a dragon head carved on top.


    It was James who had rushed to Mount Jade.Thea disappeared without a trace after leaving her letter.


    James went to Cansington to search for her but turned up nothing.He searched everywhere but could


    not find a trace of Thea.So, he had martial artists all around the globe look for her.


    However, several days passed without any further news on her whereabouts.


    James hade to Mount Jade to seek information from Jade Sect’s leader, the Omniscient Deity.


    Once he reached the mountain''s base, he leaped a few steps and appeared halfway up the mountain.


    In a few seconds, he arrived at the mountaintop.


    He traveled at such speeds that it seemed as if his body was as light as a feather.


    "who’s there?"


    James’ sudden appearance caught the attention of Jade Sect’s disciples.


    Immediately, a dozen or so disciples surrounded him with swords pointed at him.


    "J-James..."


    After verifying James’ identity, the disciples backed away in fear.


    At that moment, James sported stubble on his chin and had a slightly unkempt appearance.


    "Where''s the Omniscient Deity? I want to meet with him immediately."
