After several minutes, Leylin’s face turned dark, ”It can’t get through!”
He pressed down on the imprint once more, ”Headquarters! Is anyone there?”
After several attempts, he couldn’t help but admit that the liaison assigned specifically to him, who was expected to be ready for his message any second, had deserted his post.
Knowing this, Leylin frowned. He had no other backing in the central continent except the Ouroboros Clan, and he would be in danger if something happened in headquarters. The pressure from Azure Mountain City alone would force him to hide in the underground of society, with the dregs of the Magus world.
”What the hell happened?” Leylin searched the other pages. There was no feedback from Kesha. Lucian was there but he didn’t say much, just that some accident had occurred and all outer-ring movements were cancelled.
”Cancelled? Now?” Leylin smiled coldly, directly ending contact with Lucian. Judging from his tone, something must have happened in the headquarters that caused them to lose their ability to react.
And from his secretive manner, he still didn’t take him to be a core member, and was suspicious at this key moment.
It was too dangerous without accurate information. Leylin considered calmly for a moment, and flipped to another scale-shaped red imprint.
After a short while connecting, a response finally came in, “Is this Leylin?”
”It is!” Leylin spoke in a low voice, ”Freya, are you in the headquarters now?”
”Yeah, I’m here. Leylin, it’s now an emergency! You better come back immediately and not go out!”
Leylin was surprised about her panicked voice. She hadn’t acted like this even when the bloodline of her own family was deteriorating.
”I have trouble here too. The Parble Family colluded with Azure Mountain City, and even the clone of the Azure Mountain King is here!” Leylin related the information he hadn’t told Lucian just now.
”The Parble Family, a clone of the Azure Mountain King?” she cried out in surprise. Anyone would be nervous if a Morning Star Magus, even if just a clone, appeared in their hinterland.
”I knew it!”
”Knew what?” Leylin asked.
Freya seemed to notice her slip of tongue, and after a while she spoke in a low voice, ”Are you in a safe place?”
”Absolutely safe!” Leylin moved his fingers, and black light covered the whole room.
”Wait a minute, I need to change into an encrypted channel!” As Freya’s voice arrived, the light on that brand first vanished and then returned, now brighter.
”Things don’t seem good…” Leylin listened carefully, he knew that what Freya was going to say definitely affected his life.
”We can’t make contact with Mentor or the other two elders…” Freya’s nervous voice came from the brand.
”Can’t make contact? What does that mean?” Leylin was confused.
”My teacher said they were about to find the coordinates of the Purgatory World, and they needed to conduct detailed experiments and couldn’t be disturbed! Thus, they cut off all connection with the outside. Yesterday, I found that the spiritual flame my teacher gave me was about to die out, so I broke into my teacher’s lab…and…”
”What did you find?” Leylin’s voice also became nervous.
”Nobody was in that lab, even the astral gate had stopped working!” Intermittent sobs laced Freya’s words.
”The same thing happened in the labs of the other two elders!”
”I…I…I…” Leylin was about to curse, so he took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Experiments on the astral gate were very dangerous, and if you didn’t return before the astral stones ran out of power, the Magi who passed through would be trapped in another world.
As Freya said, the astral stones had run out, and even the spiritual flame was extremely weak; they were trapped in another world!
The three Morning Star Magi were the backbone of the Ouroboros Clan. Once they lost them, it wouldn’t be long before the whole clan was destroyed. No wonder the headquarters was in a mess, and even Lucian was thrown into disarray.
”Are you sure?” Leylin felt his throat tighten, but he still held on to hope.
”We have tried everything to contact them, even projecting the spiritual flame. Nothing worked… My Mentor… I’m afraid they’re lost in another world…”
On the other side of the brand, Freya couldn’t restrain her choking sobs.
When someone was lost in another world, it wasn’t as simple as not being able to come back. Big worlds always hated outsiders, and once you were unable to return in time, the Magi stuck there would have no good end.
Nibble away from the safety of the astral gate, and finally reverse the attitude of the world, that was the best way to seize another world.
Now, the three Morning Star elders were like ordinary people lost in the boundless ocean, surrounded by bloody sharks.
Nothing could be worse than this.
After she wept for a while, Freya’s voice finally grew firm, ”Do you know why the Azure Mountain King is here?”
”I have no idea, I thought it was for the Parble Family or me, but now I’m not sure…” Leylin smiled bitterly.
If it was just an experimental accident, there was still hope. But what if the whole thing was set up by their enemies?
Thinking about the omens of war recently, and the abnormal behaviour of the Azure Mountain King, Leylin thought this was very possible.
After thousands of years, why did they find the Purgatory World at this exact time? It made sense if this was their enemies’ plot.
”Good job! Good job! One astral coordinate trapped three Morning Star Magi…” Leylin took a deep breath, if he was right, after the Morning Star Magi of the Ouroboros Clan disappeared, they would be dealt with as fast as lightning.
If they couldn’t settle this matter, from now on, whether the Ouroboros Clan would continue to exist in the central continent was a question.
Cutting off the connection, Leylin fell into deep thought.
Chapter 491 – Obliterating Hurricane
Obliterating Hurricane
What happened this time round was evidently a conspiracy, a huge conspiracy against the Ouroboros Clan!
First, it was the revealing of the world coordinates so as to attract three Morning Star Magi, which caused them to fall into enemy hands.
After which, the military controlled the borders heavily. First, they created trouble to sound out the situation. Upon confirmation that the three Morning Star Giant Kemoyin Serpent Warlocks were all not around, they would proceed to exterminate entire family clans!
During that unstable period, Leylin, who was a rank 3 Magus in the Crystal phase, was considered a small and insignificant figure, and could potentially be exterminated at any time!
“I have to be a more prominent figure if I do not wish to be attacked. More so if I wish to even go against the tide!” After some contemplation, Leylin’s expressions revealed more determination.
“Those who are below the rank of Morning Star are considered insignificant figures, what about those who advance past the Morning Star realm?”
Leylin’s eyes shone, “Only upon advancement to a rank above Morning Star can I decide my own fate. Then, I will not be abandoned or destroyed at the wishes of others!”
“A.I. Chip, what’s the progress on the collection of data with regards to the Morning Star realm?” Leylin immediately asked.
[Beep! The Morning Star realm deductions are currently 34.5% completed!] The A.I Chip intoned.
Leylin had always been fixated on data in this area, but due to the lack of actual specimens, the progress was barely halfway through. The recent progress was all thanks to the Azure Mountain King’s clone, which had allowed for the progress to increase by quite a bit.
Leylin recalled what he had used when advancing to Morning Star, “The Lamia fingerbone has already been prepared. The bloodline combustion experiment has also been tested multiple times, and there wouldn’t be any errors. The only thing left now is the A.I Chip’s deductions on the Morning Star realm!”
Those three factors were the key to Leylin’s confidence in advancing to the Morning Star realm.
On the other hand, the A.I Chip which had to deduce the nature of the Morning Star realm was also a pivotal factor, “The current progress is insufficient. We need a progress of at least 50% and above to be able to avoid mistakes during the formation of the point mass!”
“A sample of the clone of a Morning Star Magus would be sufficient!”
A ray of determination shone across Leylin’s eyes. He turned his palms upwards, where stony rune filled with holes appeared.
