Just the appearance alone would not be sufficient. They still needed the Cadens’ signature method─the Thirteen Heavenly Swords.
Though Maxine had never read the Thirteen Heavenly Swords’ cultivation method or sword techniques, she had memorized the moves after seeing Tobias practicing them.
Now, they had to come up with a contingency plan so that they could prevent the Blithes from making a move on them at critical moments.
Besides, time was running out. They had at most two days.
Within two days, Thea had to make it look like the real thing.
Thea thought long and hard about it. This was the only way to save James. If Maxine could even sacrifice her life to save James, how could she give up so easily?
She nodded her head firmly. “I’ll do my best.”
“Mhm, you should summon your men from the God-King Palace. I’m afraid you won’t make it in time.”
“Got it.”
…
While Maxine headed to Cansington to discuss matters with Thea, James was brought to the Western Border.
The Western Border was located in the westernmost part of Sol. Territorially vast, the place had many cities. Not only that, it bordered many strong countries, so the Blithe Army was tasked with the responsibility of protecting the Western Border. However, as the situation was stable, the Blithe King, commander-in-chief of the Western Border Army, was redeployed to Cansington.
In Western Littleroot City at the Western Border…
This was the principal city of the Western Border. A thousand years ago, this was the capital of an ancient dynasty.
There was a mountain in the suburbs of Western Littleroot City. It was called Mount Littleroot.
This place was heavily guarded by the army. As such, no one could approach the mountain. It was also the headquarters of the Blithe family.
There were many villas at the top of Mount Littleroot.
In one of the villas…
Flynn was back.
Donovan ordered, “I’m done with the invitation cards. Send our disciples all over Sol and invite all renowned ancient martial artists. I wish to announce the emergence of the Blithe family!"
Immediately, his face darkened, “From today onwards, let those who submit to me thrive and those who resist me perish.”
“Understood.” Flynn stood up and nodded. “I’ll see to it at once.”
Then, he left.
…
There was a dungeon at the top of Mount Littleroot. It was used by the Blithes to imprison family members who had committed a crime.
The entrance was located under a rock. From the entrance, one would have to head deeper into the passageway, which extended hundreds of meters, to reach the dungeon.
At the same time, in the dungeon…
James was imprisoned inside a dark and damp cell.
