The Almighty Dragon General

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 pain coming 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, Callan had entered the underground palace.
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, “Callan Maverick... How can this be?”
He thought that Callan 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 Callan Maverick to the Thousand-Machinery Formation.”
His expression was grim. Since Callan was here, he might as well finish him off together with the others. Callan 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 surveillance cameras.
“Thomas...”
Thomas turned his head and saw Bennett walking over to him.
Upon seeing Bennett 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 Bennett to mimic his actions. At the same time, he pointed at a corner of the wall.
Bennett immediately realized that there was a surveillance camera there.
Thomas signaled for him to destroy it.
Bennett understood his meaning. Under Thomas’ guidance, he began destroying the surveillance
cameras.
“Sir, the surveillance cameras have been destroyed. Based on the footage, it seems that Bennett Caden has arrived.”
“Very good.” A smile crept up on Lucjan’s face, and he said, “Lure him to the Thousand-Machinery Formation.”
After Bennett destroyed the surveillance cameras, Thomas walked over to him. Looking at him, he asked, “Why are you here?”
Bennett said, “James pleaded for me to come. If not for him, I wouldn’t have bothered coming.”
Thomas made a welcoming gesture and said, “Callan 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 surveillance camera hidden in the corners. I’ll guard your back.”
“Mhm.”
Bennett 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 surveillance cameras
whenever he saw them.

At that moment, Callan had arrived at the underground palace where the Thousand-Machinery Formation was. Upon seeing the
mess on the ground, he speculated that a fierce battle must have occurred here a moment ago. He looked at the passageway
before him and hesitated briefly before walking toward it.
