Chapter 645: Chapter 447: Before the Abandoned Mine_2
On the opposite side of the mountain cliff, Leo Ray couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this.
All the powerhouses on our side possess both an Invisibility Cloak and a Concealment Ring, which can hide their aura.
Therefore, at the same distance and with the cover of the mountains, the other party naturally finds it difficult to discover our tracks.
As for No.23 the Black Cloak Woman, although her own strength is at Tier 4 eight-Star.
However, discovering the traces of people like Gideon Black in a medium-to-large city like Golin City, where the population is dense, is undoubtedly extremely difficult.
“Tsk, after all this talk, it’s just a boring excuse.”
At the same time, the gaze of No. 9 Black Robed Person moved, leisurely looking up and down the slender and curvaceous figure of the 23rd black-robed woman under her black robe.
Continuing, he said, “As a powerhouse with a relatively high rank within the organization, you should know better than anyone that no one, apart from the dead, can leak the slightest secret of the organization.
Therefore, instead of worrying about these boring matters, it is more practical to arrive early and complete the task.”
“This subordinate keeps in mind the teachings of Lord of the Ninth Asura. It is my incompetence that has made the two Lords of Asura wait for so long,” replied the subordinate, the 23rd black-robed woman, bowing her body again.
“To know one’s mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue. So, have you thought about how to make up for your mistakes?”
No. 9 Black Robed Person’s wandering gaze finally fell on the towering chest of No. 23 the Black Cloak Woman, teasingly speaking.
“Senior, don’t joke around with these foolish subordinates.”
The low, hoarse voice of No. 7 Black-robed Person came through again, “We should start taking action. After all, the organization has temporarily slowed down its activities in Viennas City to fully prepare for this operation. Also, senior, you have come from afar and have not had a good rest.”
“Fine, since Lord of the Seventh Asura has spoken, naturally, I won’t argue with her.”
With a faint voice, No. 9 Black Robed Person retracted his burning gaze and leisurely said, “Don’t worry, with the help of this magic instructor skilled in Magic Barriers everything will naturally be resolved.”
“Thank you, senior, for your help later.”
On the other side, No. 7 Black-robed Person nodded slightly and then turned to No. 23, his hoarse and strange voice resounding again, “By the way, I remember that in your team, there should be a new member who joined not long ago. Why didn’t he come this time?”
“Replying to Lord of the Seventh Asura, No.235 did not follow the plan and go to the designated location. He has been missing for some time now.”
No.23 the Black Cloak Woman bowed her body and reported, “Originally, this subordinate planned to send this person to Golin City for investigation first, but he disappeared without a trace. Moreover, as he had just passed the probationary period and not yet bound to the Stone of Life, it is impossible to determine his life or death and locate him.”
Shaking her head helplessly, No.23 continued, “So this subordinate planned to report to Lord Asura after the exploration mission was completed, but considering that No.235 had also disappeared for a while previously, this subordinate suspects that something must have held him up.”
“So that’s it.”
Upon hearing this, No. 7 Black-robed Person nodded thoughtfully, “We must investigate thoroughly later. If this person is absent without reason, he must be punished severely.”
Not far away, hearing this, Leo Ray raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to watch intently.
The No.235 person mentioned by the two is naturally Michael Wood, who was killed by our side in front of the Immortal Gate.
“So it turns out that the powerhouses of these mysterious organizations also bind an item called the Stone of Life to determine life and death and find their whereabouts. This is a new discovery indeed.”
Leo Ray thought about this as he watched.With a slightly hunched figure, No. 9 Black Robed Person began to stride forward, saying, “Well, it’s getting late, shall we start our operation now?”
“The two Lords Asura, the entrance is right behind here.” No.23 Black Cloak Woman hurriedly approached, pointing at the entrance of the abandoned mine covered by rocks and debris ahead.
“I have already sensed it,” said No. 9 Black Robed Person as his pace didn’t slow down, but he walked straight to the entrance.
Immediately afterward, No. 9 Black Robed Person waved his hand, and a black sphere about two meters in diameter formed in mid-air, flying towards the entrance’s blocked rocks.
The next second, a series of sizzling sounds accompanied black smoke emerging.
The rocks touched by the black sphere began to quickly dissolve, leaving only a foul-smelling black liquid on the ground that spread freely into the soil.
As the black sphere moved, in a blink of an eye, the obstructing rocks at the entrance were completely dissolved, and the entrance to the abandoned mine was fully revealed.
“All right, let’s begin. I can hardly wait.”
After dispelling the black sphere, No. 9 Black Robed Person chuckled, then gestured towards No. 135 and No. 203 who had arrived with No. 23: “As for you two, stay here and keep watch.”
With that, No. 9 Black Robed Person resumed walking.
“Senior, shouldn’t we set up an alarm barrier at the entrance to prevent anyone from secretly infiltrating?”
On the other side, though they couldn’t see No. 7 Black-robed Person’s expression, it was apparent that his tone was somewhat hesitant.
“Lord of the Seventh Asura, the incident at the Viennas City Auction last time may have made you overly sensitive. As I’ve just said, rest assured that our operation will not be leaked.”
With his pace unchanged, No. 9 Black Robed Person continued, “Besides, even if that mysterious Tier 5 powerhouse is indeed hired by the Coldflame Royal Family, what does it matter? As long as those two in the Royal Capital do not make their moves simultaneously, there should be no problem.
Apart from that, where else on this land can there be a force capable of contending with the two of us?”
With a mocking laugh, No. 9 Black Robed Person waved his hand and added, “In any case, by the time we’ve set up the barrier, we’d have probably already entered the Immortal Gate. Don’t forget that time is valuable, I’m still looking forward to tasting the sweet delights of the Otherworld Advent, hehe.”
“That makes sense, let it be then.”
At his words, No. 7 Black-robed Person didn’t say anything else, but instead gestured for the other members of the mysterious organization to move forward and entered the abandoned mine’s entrance.
Thus, after a short while…
With only No. 135 and No. 203 left at the entrance, Leo Ray furrowed his brows and pondered to himself, “So that’s why the members of this mysterious organization didn’t attack the Titan Clan Ruins yesterday.
Just as they had predicted, they were indeed planning and preparing for another operation, and this other operation was currently focused on the Immortal Gate! It seems they came prepared.”
Realizing this, Leo Ray stroked his chin and continued thinking, “Additionally, judging by No. 9 Black Robed Person’s codename and strength, the mysterious organization has not seven, but nine Tier 5 powerhouses. This shows that the opposition’s strength is even more formidable than initially assumed.”
At this moment, Leo Ray’s face displayed a stern expression, and he fell into deep thought again, “That being said, since they have given us such an excellent opportunity, we must seize it.
We should try to seize the treasures while reducing the adversary’s strength as much as possible, especially No. 9 Black Robed Person who is merely a fragile Tier 5 magician despite his arrogance. This is extremely advantageous to our upcoming operation.”
As he thought about it, Leo Ray’s eyebrows relaxed and he murmured to himself, “Furthermore, from their conversation, No. 9 Black Robed Person clearly traveled a great distance. It seems that there are currently no other Tier 5 magical powerhouses within the Coldflame Territory.
As for whether there are other physical Tier 5 powerhouses besides No. 7 Black Robed Person, it is currently unknown.”
With a slight nod, Leo Ray’s gaze deepened, and he pondered to himself: “In that case, let’s follow the footsteps of these mysterious organization powerhouses and see the inside of the Immortal Gate for ourselves.”
