In the dungeon of the underground palace…
Sitting on an armchair, Lucjan smoked his cigar while looking at James who was groaning in pain. He said nonchalantly, “James, my patience is limited. From now onwards, I will kill a martial artist here every ten minutes.”
Upon hearing this, James’ expression darkened.
He glared at Lucjan and said coldly, “I swear I’ll kill you if I ever have the chance.”
“What a shame that that day will never come.”
Lucjan smiled.
No one could escape from the Thousand-Machinery Formation.
He snapped his finger. Soon, a disciple of the Gu Sect walked over to him with a clock. Under Lucjan’s orders, the clock was placed right before James so that he could see the passage of time.
Tick tock… Tick tock… Tick tock…
The second hand moved.
Lucjan smiled, “James, the countdown has begun. Think about what I said carefully. Remember, a martial artist will die every ten minutes because of you.”
Wearing a grim expression, James took a deep breath. He did not wish for anyone to die because of him. He had a conscience, after all.
“What do you wish to know?”
Callan was sitting in the corner. He had been poisoned too.
As he was the previous Sect Leader of the Gu Sect, he was well-versed in Gu venom. However, because they were too wicked, he had never cultivated them. He did not expect Lucjan to succeed in accomplishing such a feat.
At that moment, he catalyzed True Energy to free his acupuncture points. However, the moment he catalyzed True Energy, the Gu inside his body began tearing at his flesh. Despite the excruciating pain, he suppressed the desire to scream in pain. Even his expression was unchanging. However, sweat beaded on his forehead as he gritted his teeth and struck his acupuncture points with full force.
Since he was located in the corner where it was dimly lit, not to mention that Lucjan’s attention was completely on James, Lucjan did not notice him.
James could not even crawl up from the ground. He was once again forcibly dragged up and tossed to Lucjan’s side.
Lucjan stomped his foot on James and said coldly, “Stop playing tricks with me, James. Five minutes have passed. Who should I kill in another five minutes?”
