As Maria took off in the lightweight helicopter once again, thousands of miles away, Morgana anxiously paced back
and forth in the headquarters of the Warriors Den.
Despite being four hundred years old, Morgana appeared as if she were in her thirties, radiating both charm and a
formidable aura. At this moment, her restlessness was evident on her face, making her quite intimidating.
The last time Morgana experienced such restlessness was when she and Lucius Clark were first chased into Shiwan
Mountain by the invading army. Although she had never found Maria over the years, the cat-and-mouse game
lasting for three hundred years had never caused her such anxiety.
What troubled her the most at this moment was the disappearance of the two marshals under her command, who
had been out of contact for over an hour. She had no idea what they had encountered.
Morgana’s greatest concern was the fate of the two marshals. Jarvis’s death and the destruction of the entire
Cyprus slain garrison had already caused great panic within the Warriors Den. If these two marshals also
encountered unforeseen circumstances, the Warriors Den would undoubtedly plunge into unprecedented turmoil
after more than three hundred years.
Just as she grew increasingly anxious, a knock sounded at the door, and an old man’s respectful voice came from
outside, “My Lord, subordinate Aemon seeks an audience.”
Morgana coldly replied, “Enter!”
With a wave, the heavy iron door opened automatically.
An old man in a long robe quickly walked inside. This person was Aemon Mirren.
Aemon Mirren, a direct descendant of the Mirren family and the bloodline of Morgana’s elder brother Cedric
Mirren’s son, was now 110 years old. Highly regarded by Morgana, he served as her most
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttrusted confidant and the think tank of the entire Warriors Den.
As he entered the room, Aemon respectfully said, “My Lord, I have obtained some rumors regarding Aurous Hill…”
Morgana impatiently interrupted, “Get to the point!”
Aemon reported, “I found some information on the local network and short video accounts. Tonight, there were
continuous thunderous sounds near the Willow Estates where the Evans family resides. Moreover, an extremely
powerful explosion occurred in that area, its sound reaching across Aurous Hill. I could hear it clearly…”
Morgana’s expression turned cold as she anxiously inquired, “An explosion? What kind of explosion? Was it similar
to the thunder from before or more like a bomb blast?”
Aemon responded, “My Lord, it was indeed an explosion!”
Frowning, Morgana asked, “If it truly was an explosion, perhaps Gideon died while trying to break the Warriors
Den…”
Aemon exclaimed, “My Lord… What kind of enemy could be so strong that it caused Gideon’s death?”
Aemon had been practicing martial arts under Morgana’s guidance since childhood. Additionally, he was her
confidant, so he understood the actions Morgana had taken against the Four Marshals with the Soul Palace.
At this moment, even Morgana felt a twinge of worry. She muttered to herself, “Gideon was already formidable and
with the magical artifact I gave him, he became even stronger. If he truly perished, it means the one who caused
his death must be even more powerful than him…”
As she spoke, Morgana couldn’t help but marvel, “I never expected there to be such Masters in Aurous Hill. Based
on my knowledge of the Evans family, it is highly unlikely that they would have any connection with such powerful
individuals. So, what is the background of this person?”
Aemon couldn’t help but ask, “My Lord, it seems that this person must be acquainted with the Evans family.
Otherwise, why would they save the Evans family in a critical moment?”
With a gloomy expression, Morgana shook her head, “I don’t know. If Gideon truly perished, his opponent must be a
stronger cultivator. However, I’ve had people secretly monitoring the Evans family for many years and I haven’t
found any connections between the Evans family and any cultivators.”
Aemon inquired further, “Could it be that Gideon accidentally offended a local expert in Aurous Hill?”
Morgana pondered for a moment and said, “That possibility cannot be ruled out. I stumbled upon the magical
artifact by chance. If there is a magical artifact, it’s highly likely that there are cultivators nearby. Moreover, I’m
beginning to doubt whether the magical artifact Gideon discovered in Aurous Hill was actually a trap set by the
other party long ago. The so-called magical artifact might just be bait to lure Gideon into their clutches!”
Aemon exclaimed, “If that’s the case, then the other party anticipated Gideon’s journey to Aurous Hill?”
“It’s possible,” Morgana replied, her expression complicated. She suddenly thought of something and blurted out,
“Tonight, I had Zeba secretly tailing Gideon. If something were to happen to Gideon, then she would be in danger!”
Aemon widened his eyes and said, “If Zeba also encounters an accident, it would be a major blow to our efforts to
break the Warriors Den! You’ve spent so many years nurturing these four marshals. If three of them meet with
misfortune, the people below will undoubtedly become disorganized…”
In a cold tone, Morgana declared, “Disorganized? Remember this, if anything untoward happens to Gideon and
Zeba, anyone in the Five Armies Commander’s Mansion who exhibits disorder will have their feet severed. One! And
if severing one isn’t enough, then sever two!”
Respectfully, Aemon said, “Your subordinate obeys!”
Morgana added, “If something happens to both of them, we must strictly control information in the Fifth Army
Commander’s Mansion. Anyone who dares to leak information will be killed!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAemon cupped his hands and replied, “Rest assured, My Lord. Your subordinate will deliver the message without
fail!”
Afterward, Aemon knelt on one knee and respectfully said, “Lord, I have one more question to ask!”
Morgana coldly uttered, “Speak!”
Aemon said, “My Lord, if both Gideon and Zeba truly perish in Aurous Hill, I dare to suggest that we call upon the
three elders from the Presbyterian Council. We should send them to Aurous Hill, as their combined efforts would
surely be able to eliminate the Master lurking in the shadows!”
Morgana’s brow instantly furrowed as she replied, “The three elders have been in seclusion for a hundred years
and are in the critical stage of opening their Soul Palaces. In another ten or twenty years, all three of them will open
their Soul Palaces one after another, further breaking the Warriors Den. Their strength will reach new heights. If we
were to call upon them now, it would undoubtedly disrupt their progress in cultivation. It might even delay their Soul
Palace openings by another twenty years. This decision cannot be made lightly…”
Continuing, Morgana said, “You must understand that the three elders are my hidden trump card. Only five people
have known of their existence for over a hundred years. Besides you, the other four are the
Marshals. I can’t deploy this card unless it is absolutely necessary!”
Aemon hurriedly responded, “My Lord! If Gideon and Zeba truly perish today, I can conclude that the person who
killed them is the same as the one who killed Jarvis, rescued the Evans family in New York and saved Maria in
Northern Europe. They are undoubtedly part of the same faction!”
“In that case,” he continued, “It proves that the other party is not just an individual, but rather a colossal
organization like the Warriors Den. They possess traditional cultivators as well as expertise in modern weapons,
such as close-in defense guns. Their capabilities are vast. If allowed to continue growing, they will undoubtedly pose
a significant threat to the future of the Warriors Den!”
