Chapter 386
Seeing Sebastian's refusal to leave, Bruce felt a mix of gratitude, frustration, and mostly resignation.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
After realizing Sebastian's steadfastness, Bruce began recounting the chain of events that had unfolded.
It all began with Julian, the patriarch of the Lennon family. Julian practiced a sinister, evil cultivation technique that inflicted harm not only upon others but also upon himself.
Julian should have retired by now as he was now in his 70s and of the same generation as Bruce's father.
Yet he persisted-not out of desire, but because his only son, Harry Lennon, had passed
away.
Julian's malevolent cultivation method made it impossible for his women to live long. It wasn't until he was nearly 30 that he finally had Harry with one of his wives.
However, Harry was born frail and sickly due to the lingering poison. Julian employed countless methods to keep him alive, and against the odds, Harry survived into adulthood. Shortly after Harry's marriage, he died, leaving Julian devastated.
He believed his lineage was cursed until his daughter-in-law revealed her pregnancy and later gave birth to the twins Luke and Cassandra.
Julian was overjoyed and pinned all his hopes on Luke by grooming him to be the sole heir of the Lennon family.
Despite losing his wife, mistresses, and son to his malevolent cultivation method, Julian showed no remorse. Instead, he continued his sinister practice relentlessly.
Recently, Julian ascended to the seventh level of his Fatal Viper Technique and conspired with Francis to poison Bruce.
With assistance from the esteemed Elder of the Sanders family, Ian, they ambushed Bruce and severely injured him.
The Sanders family members who resisted were ruthlessly slaughtered, and the survivors fled. Harvey, gravely wounded, was presumed dead after his escape boat was sunk.
In his madness, Julian found Bruce's wife, Renee, still beautiful and dignified and attempted to force himself on her.
Rather than endure the humiliation, Renee chose to end her life.
"Bastard!" Sebastian bellowed. He slammed his hand into the ground, shattering the stone floor into pieces.
Bruce looked at him in surprise. "Sebastian, have you reached the Divine Realm?"
Sebastian nodded. "Mr. Sanders, don't worry. I promise I'll find a way to rescue you and Lana. I'll make them pay for what they've done."
Bruce shook his head with a bitter smile. "You're incredibly talented to reach the Divine Realm at such a young age. Your future is bright, but now is not the time for rash actions.
"The Sanders family has traitors among them, including several divine grandmasters. Ian is particularly dangerous as a late-stage divine grandmaster. But Julian remains the gravest threat.
"His Fatal Viper Technique is terrifying. Even at my peak, I was unsure if I could defeat him. Your talent is undeniable, Sebastian, but confronting these seasoned masters now would be dangerous.
"Exercise patience and don't risk your life in a futile attempt to rescue us."
"Mr. Sanders, trust me. I won't act reckelssly. I'll wait for the right moment. Let me try to heal you first," Sebastian said.
"It's hopeless. I'm poisoned with the incurable Reaper's Grasp. I'm also suffering from the lethal toxins of Julian's Fatal Viper Technique.
"The poison has reached my heart. My days are numbered." Bruce let out a long sigh; a once -mighty hero had been brought low.
"There's no such thing as an incurable poison. Let me try," Sebastian insisted.
He then took out a Purple Miracle Pill and gave it to Bruce. He continued with the Flying Acupuncture.
With spiritual energy, Sebastian activated the technique of inserting nine silver needles and channeled his energy into them.
Instantly, the nine needles began to glow white and vibrate intensely as they worked to combat the poison.
