Chapter 1152
"Haha. Not bad, young man. I've grown rather fond of you. Here, there are a few drops of wine left. You can drink it
all. It won't help you break through the Summit, but it can help increase your True Energy.”
James was elated upon being granted permission to drink more of the legendary wine.
Unlike the first time, the effects were not as potent this time around.
He started to absorb and refine the energy from the wine. In a mere hour, he had completely assimilated the
Mount Thunder Snow Lotus Wine's energy and made it his own.
"By the way..."
After absorbing the energy, James remembered something and said, "Sir, I've encountered a problem. Could I
trouble you for some guidance?"
"It's no trouble at all. Go on. Speak."
"A few of my friends were captured by an enemy. I suspect they're members of the Gu Sect. They demanded I
come to Mt. Thunder in advance to assassinate Mount Thunder Sect's leader. In exchange, they assured me that
they'd the hostages. What should I do?”
James still had no idea what path to take.

He knew that assassinating the Mount Thunder Sect's leader was out of the question. The repercussions would just
be too great.
However, all the hostages would be in danger if he did not comply with his foe’s demands.
The old man looked at James and asked, "What are you planning to do?" James shook his head and answered, "I
have no clue. I'm rather lost, but I also refuse to be led by the nose. I know that the enemy's demands won’t just
stop at asking me to assassinate the Mount Thunder Sect's leader. Unfortunately, I don't know where my friends
are captured and can’t save them."
"It's up to you."
The old man looked into the distance and said vaguely, "Life is all about the decisions you make. You're bound to be
faced with countless crossroads. If you choose the right path, life will be smooth sailing.
However, if you choose the wrong path, you might fall into an endless abyss of misery. This is something I can't help
you with nor give you advice on."
The old man seemed to be religious as the words he said seemed to contain a universal truth.
James fell into thought.
After a while, he sighed.

"Sir..."
He raised his head, but there was no one in sight.
"Where did he go?”
James was puzzled. The old man was standing in front of him just a second ago. How did he disappear in a blink of
an eye?
"Sir?"
James stood up and called out a few times.
His voice echoed throughout the mountains for a long time.
James looked around, but the old man that gave him the wine and guided him had disappeared with a trace as if he
had never even existed.
"What a mysterious old man,” James murmured.
Following this, James did not linger on the snow-capped mountain peak either. He jumped and appeared tens of
meters away.
He started to descend the mountain and arrived at Mount Thunder Sect’s location in a short amount of time.
"Who’s there?!"
Before he could get close, a voice yelled at him.
The voice came from one of the Mount Thunder Sect disciples. They quickly rushed over and eyed James with great

suspicion.
James looked at them and responded in a clear voice, "I'm James from the Caden family. I'm here to meet with the
Mount Thunder Sect's leader."
'The Mount Thunder Conference hasn’t begun yet. It doesn't matter who you are. No guests are permitted into Mt.
Thunder. Kindly leave the mountain."
The disciples ordered James to leave.
"What if I insist on having an audience with him?”
'Then you'll have to get through us first!"
The disciples around him quickly drew their swords and pointed them at James.
"Cocky b*stards."
James snorted coldly and drew the Blade of Justice in response. His body flickered and vanished as if he were a
phantom.
The Mount Thunder Sect’s disciples suddenly were unable to see James.
In an instant, James reappeared behind them. The disciples were oblivious of his presence and continued looking
around in confusion.
Clank!
All their swords simultaneously snapped in half.
