Chapter 5420
Sandra noticed a sudden change in Zeba’s expression, her features sharpening. He furrowed his browand asked, “What’s the matter? Tell me.”
Gritting her teeth, Zeba replied, “Morgana warned us from the beginning that it would be dangerous forus four to embark on missions outside. She lost her life to a formidable Master and that’s why it tookseveral years to set up an incredibly secretive and powerful formation in the Soul Palace…”
“She claimed that activating this formation during a critical moment could save our residual souls,allowing our bodies to perish while our souls endure. But today, Gideon revealed that it wasn’t a soul-preserving formation at all. Instead, it was an immensely powerful self-destruct mechanism…”
Sandra nodded slightly, absorbing the revelation. “No wonder Gideon pleaded for mercy initially. Heresigned himself to death when the critical moment arrived, believing that he could truly change hisphysical body.”
Zeba, her voice laced with anger, continued, “But I never expected that it was a deception. A deceptionthat turned out to be a highly destructive force…”novelbin
Sympathizing with Zeba’s frustration, Sandra asked, “What do you think of Morgana? What are thechances of her sending the three elders?”
After pondering for a while, Zeba replied firmly, “Based on my understanding of her, I’d say 100%!”
Sandra squinted his eyes, skeptical “Is that so? If what you say is true, these three elders have been inseclusion all this time. Interrupting their cultivation and making them retreat again will lead tosubstantial unseen losses. Will Morgana be willing to take such a risk?”
Zeba spoke earnestly, “Mr. Wade, Morgana has consistently underestimated her opponents. Shebelieved that Dead Soldiers could defeat the Evans Family and that the Cavalry Guards would be
sufficient to capture Miss Clark. However, both attempts failed. She then sent Four Marshals, thinkingthat their achievements would uncover the flaws in the Cyprus Cavalry Guards, only to have Jarvisblasted to a pulp by their close-range defense weaponry. She believed that Gideon and I couldeliminate the Evans Family, but now even that plan has failed…”
“In such circumstances, she will undoubtedly dispatch the three elders to eradicate the problem. Theyare her last resort. If they succeed, it’s perfect. But if they fail, she may have to abandon her hideoutand flee for her life!”
Maria couldn’t help but interject, “Do you know how powerful these three elders are?”
Zeba replied, “Miss Clark, I’ve never met the three elders myself. Since joining the Warriors Den, theyhave remained secluded. According to Morgana, even a hundred years ago, their strength rivaled thatof Gideon. Considering their hundred-year-long seclusion, their power must have increasedsignificantly. The Four Marshals are no match for them.”
Sandra and Maria exchanged brief glances, their expressions subtly changing. Zeba’s words revealedthat the three elders surpassed the Four Marshals by a significant margin. Dealing with even one ofthem would prove extremely challenging and if all three acted together, their strength would beimmeasurable.
Sandra understood that while he could defeat Gideon, overcoming the elders with a hundred years ofcultivation experience over Gideon was an insurmountable task.
Maria turned her gaze toward Sandra and spoke, “My Lord, if Morgana indeed unleashes the threeelders, I’m concerned that you alone won’t be able to defeat them. For safety’s sake, it might be wisefor you to temporarily leave Aurous Hill and avoid the limelight…”
Zeba concurred, adding, “Mr. Wade, Miss Clark is correct. Even Morgana would struggle to defeat thecombined strength of the three elders. You haven’t opened your Soul Palace yet, so if you remain in
Aurous Hill, it will be challenging to escape once they arrive!”
Sandra contemplated for a moment, then shook his head. “It might be easy for me to leave, but whatabout my grandparent’s family? They are the primary targets and there could even be Warriors Deninfiltrators among them. The organization will relentlessly pursue them, no matter where they hide.They won’t be able to escape the three elder’s pursuit, no matter how hard they try…”
With a serious tone, Sandra continued, “Moreover, Aurous Hill is my foundation. My family and friendsare here. If I leave, I can’t guarantee their safety. Furthermore, if the enemy discovers my identity, theymay take out their vengeance on my loved ones. I will never forgive myself.”
Then, addressing Zeba, Sandra asked, “What do you think of me? What do you know of my parents?And do you know why Morgana targeted my grandparent’s family twenty years later?”
Zeba replied truthfully, “Mr. Wade, I only know that your parents discovered the secret of longevitybefore Morgana did. That’s why she ordered Gideon to hunt them down twenty years ago. However,I’m unaware of the reason behind targeting your grandparent’s family after all this time.”
Frowning, Sandra asked, “The secret of longevity? Gideon mentioned it several times, but I still don’tknow what it is exactly.”
Zeba shook her head, saying, “I don’t know either. It’s just what Morgana mentioned. None of us fourknow the actual secret.”
Sandra felt a pang of disappointment. He couldn’t grasp the connection between the secret of longevityand the deep-seated animosity between his parents and Morgana. Nor could he fathom why, after twodecades, Morgana still desired to exterminate his grandparent’s family.
Maria suddenly recalled something and swiftly inquired, “Where is the current headquarters of theWarriors Den?”
Zeba answered, “It’s located underground on an uninhabited island in South America, near theAntarctic Circle. I don’t know the exact coordinates. The British authorities have always been vigilantagainst us. We travel by seaplane or small submarine, making our first stop in Argentina. However,during our stay in Argentina, we are cut off from the outside world, unable to enjoy any scenery or carryany modern devices like mobile phones when we reach the island. But it should be near the AntarcticCircle. If one conducts a thorough search, eliminating possibilities one by one, it’s not impossible to findit.”
Sandra shook his head, “I don’t even know how to handle the three elders. How can I locate theWarriors Den’s lair?”
Worriedly, Maria suggested, “Young Master, why not consider leaving Aurous Hill immediately toensure your safety? I suspect that none of your immediate family members collude with the WarriorsDen. It’s highly likely that the infiltrators have foreign surnames. Hence, you can only take the EvansFamily with you and maintain strict control over the dissemination of information, preventing anycontact with the outside world. That way, you can ensure everyone’s safety…”
“No,” Sandra said resolutely. “Aurous Hill is my stronghold. My family and friends are here. I can’tabandon them. Furthermore, if I run away, Morgana might discover my vulnerability and unleash herwrath upon my loved ones. I won’t allow that to happen.”
With determination in his eyes, Sandra continued, “Besides, can you really expect me to flee witheveryone? Initially, I was still in the dark with Morgana. If I make such a conspicuous move, I would bewalking into her trap.”
Maria expressed her concerns, “Young Master, while South America is vast, once those three eldersare released from seclusion, Morgana will undoubtedly send them rushing to Aurous Hill as quickly aspossible. They’ll arrive within 24 hours. After that, leaving will be far more challenging…”
Sandra fell silent for a moment. His expression grew resolute as he exclaimed, “I won’t go! The EvansFamily won’t go either! If Morgana has set her sights on Aurous Hill, I’ll play the ‘Empty City Strategy’with her! Let’s see if she dares to bring the fight here!”
