Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 981: Chapter 302 [DP-955 Research Institute]_2

“You’re saying that woman used some of the Immortal Aegis Animals’ Secret Skills from our White Family? And she managed to escape, possibly using the ‘Secret Fetus Parasitic Technique’?”

“Yes. Among those Secret Skills, there seemed to be ancient Forbidden Techniques that our White Family has lost.”

“…”

The leading person, as they listened to the report from the Immortal Spirit, slowly pulled back their cloak to reveal a fair and handsome face.

If Leonard Churchill were here, he would immediately recognize him as the “Number One Genius of the White Family” Wayne White, whom he had encountered before.

His brows, more charming than a woman’s, narrowed slightly with a sly smile in his eyes, “Hehe, if we talk about seniority, she is actually my aunt. But it’s strange. When her mother was expelled from the White Family, all memories about the inheritance of the White Family’s Secret Skills were sealed with a vow. Where did that woman learn them from?”

At that moment, another person in the group spoke, “The people from the Revolutionary Army found this secret research facility before us, so it’s not strange that they might have found some inheritances. Plus, she has the bloodline of the White Family and considerable talent, so it’s not out of the question that she might have fortuitously received the recognition of an Immortal Aegis Animal…”

This was also the reason they used spies to lead those from the Southern Continent here to surround and kill members of the Revolutionary Army.

Earlier, the White Family thought they were the first to arrive at these Relics, only to discover upon arrival that the Revolutionary Army was also searching for this research facility.

Sophia Jones’s performance at the Divine Ruins Treasure House, where she fought against two under-kings and four Knights alone, had already proven her combat power.

To kill her without Seventh Tier strength was almost impossible.

The group from the White Family didn’t want to fight her in a life and death battle, which is why they chose to use others to kill her.

“Who rescued her?”

“We’re not sure yet. But based on the situation, the person who came to her aid was most likely someone embedded in the adventure teams in the Southern Continent, maybe even the Thorny Snake Corps. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have received precise intelligence and arrived so swiftly to provide reinforcement.”

“Tsk, tsk, if my aunt manages to escape, she will become quite the trouble in the future.”

“…”

Although Wayne White spoke such words, his face bore no expression of concern.

He stared at the locked machinery door, muttering to himself.

“With so many poisonous creatures converging in the swamp, our White Family’s Supreme Treasure, the ‘Lamp of Ten Thousand Immortals,’ must surely be in this research facility. If we can find it, the rise of the White Family is just around the corner…”

“Indeed. Besides, this place was once a Secret Tomb where our White Family ancestors worshipped the Immortal Aegis Animals. If we are fortunate enough to receive the protection and recognition of an Ancestral Spirit Immortal Aegis Animal, our White Family will have gained a foothold.”

“The situation on the Old Continent is very complicated. Since all branches of our White Family were destroyed, that battle back then must have been extremely bitter. Whether any Ancestral Spirit Immortal Aegis Animals survive or not is hard to say…”

“Faith never dies, Gods never perish; as long as the incense continues to burn, those top-tier Immortal Aegis Animals won’t dissipate so easily either. Keep a close watch on what the Thorny Snake Corps is up to, draw people in as quickly as possible. Sacrificing those people, if not to awaken Ancestral Spirit Immortal Aegis Animals, will at least awaken some High Tier Immortal Aegis Animals…”

“Yes.”

“…”

….

Leonard Churchill was well aware that the ones from the Thorny Snake Corps who forced Sophia Jones into a dire situation must have included a card master skilful in tracking.

Although he felt that he had eradicated his tracks very cleanly, he feared some unheard-of sensing methods.

The lineage of card masters in the Southern Continent had not been broken, making this possibility quite significant.

Leonard Churchill ran wildly through the swamp.

He occasionally used the Shadow to mislead.

But soon, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The early-warning devices he had set up had not been triggered, meaning that most likely there was nobody chasing him.

Seeing this, Leonard Churchill automatically sorted through the dozens of scenarios in his head and finally arrived at the two most likely possibilities.

First, either the two Seventh Tiers were not interested in pursuing a Sixth Tier, deeming it a waste of time;

After all, the card masters of the Southern Continent and those of the East Continent may be adversaries, but they only aimed at capturing a few War Slaves, without any particular conflicts.

If the cost was too great, then it was meaningless.

Second, they had more important things to deal with.

Leonard Churchill was more inclined towards the latter, his eyes narrowing slightly, “Did they really discover some important clues in that swamp…”

In these days, Leonard Churchill had discussed a lot about the Ariel Empire with the Toad.

He learned that the orders from the Holy Church took precedence over Kingship.

If the Holy Church was searching for “the vessel,” the Thorny Snake Corps would not dare to delay.

Now that even the Toad, who had always been imprisoned in the camp, had been transported here, it was clear that there must have been significant discoveries in the swamp.

With this in mind, Leonard Churchill stopped.

He had managed to rendezvous with the person in question without any mishap.

Glancing at his shoulder, Leonard Churchill looked at the wound that looked like a snake bite and raised his eyebrows slightly, “Aunt Jones?”

He tried calling out but got no response.

Many of the Spell techniques of the White Family were family secrets, and outside parties didn’t understand the mechanisms.

The Secret Fetus Parasitic Technique was one of the very peculiar Spells among them.

Even Leonard Churchill, who had been subjected to the technique, still didn’t understand how the enemy managed to accomplish it.

It seemed that the host had to be on the precipice of death for the parasite to be forced out.

It looked like he couldn’t communicate with Sophia Jones for the time being.

Or perhaps she had no intention of coming out any time soon, avoiding some sensing methods?

Or maybe she was seriously injured?

Regardless, he had already rescued her.

Leonard Churchill was in no hurry now.

Since nobody was chasing them, he lost his sense of urgency.

Since those people did not chase immediately, he assumed they wouldn’t later either.

Leonard Churchill changed his direction away from the danger zone.
