James finally had a brief understanding of Mr. Gabriel’s background.He was also made aware of the potential chain reaction and severe consequences of trying to get rid of Mr. Gabriel. This plan was not something to be rushed into blindly.After leaving Peace Mansion, James headed to the Cadens.Maxine had already returned to the Cadens’ mansion.In the courtyard, she kneeled beside Tobias, who was in the midst of doing a martial art squat.Maxine kneeled for quite a while, but Tobias simply ignored her presence.20 minutes later, Tobias finally stood up and took the towel handed to him by a servant. He walked toward Maxine while wiping off his sweat. “Get up,” he addressed her coldly.Maxine stood up.Tobias sat down in the backyard gazebo, picked up a tea cup from the stone table, and took a sip of tea. Then, he asked lightly, “Tell me, what happened in Mount Littleroot?”He had already seen the footage and knew about the events on Mount Littleroot, but there were many

Maxine looked at James worriedly and gave him a subtle sign.James loosened his tightly clenched fist.He took a deep breath and swallowed down his anger.“Are you sure? Then, why did I hear that the reason my grandpa suffered an Energy Deviation was because someone ambushed him while he was cultivating? Isn’t that the reason why he killed people from the family?”James asked calmly.“Oh, is that so? I’ve never heard such a thing,” Tobias replied puzzledly.“Do you really not know? 30 years ago, you must’ve been there when my grandpa’s cultivation base was destroyed, and he was expelled from the family. Did he not refute the decision or try to justify himself?” James looked into Tobias’ eyes and asked.Tobias simply replied, “I was indeed there when it happened. However, your grandfather didn’t explain himself. He didn’t even utter a word. Following that, he was chased out of the family and thrown out of the Cadens’ gates. His entire side of the family was also expelled along with

“James, this is your chance. The Cadens’ library contains countless martial art skills. This includes the best sword technique in the world, the Thirteen Heavenly Swords. If you master that, it’d be a stretch to call you invincible but there won’t be many people who can stand against you.”Maxine beamed as she chattered excitedly to James.Tobias was optimistic about James’ potential. Despite James' thinly-veiled hostility toward him, he still allowed James to visit the family’s library.This was not the first time that James had heard about the Thirteen Heavenly Swords.The sword technique intrigued him.“Alright. I’ll make use this opportunity to take a look.”“I’ll lead you there then.”Maxine stood up and made a gesture inviting him to leave with her.James stood up and followed Maxine deeper into the vast backyard.After they spent a long time walking, he saw a solitary wooden house.Maxine paused and whispered, “Do you see that wooden house over there, James?”James no

“Have you finished looking through it?” asked Bennett.James straightened himself and looked at Bennett who had a smile of delight on his face. He nodded and said, “Yes, I’m done.”“Now, tell me what you’ve learned after reading it once.”James contemplated for a momet and opened his mouth. “This swordsmanship technique is extremely profound. It’s not just a simple technique and can be divided into two parts. The first is swordsmanship, and the second is about using one’s energy to control the sword. The key is to be able to move at blinding speeds. One’s swordsmanship has to be rapid for the energy’s speed to increase in turn. The sword acts as a medium for True Energy to become Sword Energy. The Thirteen Sword Realms represent the Thirteen Sword Energies.”James explained his understanding of the techniques recorded in the book.He was not able to articulate everything precisely, but he had a rough grasp of the concept.“That’s right.”Bennett stood up with his hands crossed b

With Bennett’s guidance, James mastered the First and Second Sword Realm of the Thirteen Heavenly Swords. In other words, he had officially entered the sixth rank with this.He was one of the few people who were able to attain such strength at his age.James thanked Bennett profusely.Bennett waved his hand in dismissal and lightly said, “That’s enough. You should go. All I ask is you come visit me whenever you’re free.”James did not say anything else. He turned and left.He had been staying in the backyard of the Cadens' mansion for the past month and had not walked around the front yard at all. Over the past month, he had absolutely no idea about what had happened in the outside world.As soon as he left the backyard and approached the front, he heard people arguing.He looked in the direction of the commotion. A good number of people were gathered outside a room. “Maxine, do you know what you’ve done?!”“You blatantly ignored our family’s rules and broke them. The famil
