Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"Well, that pretty much is true. However, if the Moon Shadow dares to attack our Enigmatic Kingdom, we can't just sit still and wait for our deaths!" Barney replied. There was an intense look upon his face.

"You must always be on your guard, Zachary. It was you who exposed the collusion between Armand and the Moon Shadow. Therefore, there is no doubt that they will target you," Katrina reminded Zachary at once. They were obviously worried about his safety.

"I understand. I'll be careful." Zachary nodded. However, he thought to himself, 'Me being their target right now is not the real problem here. It's just that I have been keeping in touch with the Moon Shadow for a long time now, though in a roundabout way. So if Katrina and the others find out about that, it will definitely cause a huge mess for me.'

"We'll talk more about the details next time. That's all for today. You may go now," Barney announced and slightly waved his hand.

With that, everyone bowed and then made their way towards the door. Zachary and Katrina talked as they went out of the meeting hall together.

"Just a while ago, you said you were leaving. Can you tell me where you'll be going?" Katrina pressed on. She obviously wanted to know more about his upcoming trip.

"I'm planning to cultivate in seclusion together with my master. I'll be gone for a certain period of time." Zachary had no intention of hiding it from Katrina.

"Your master? Who is this again? Is this the one who helped you and Sophie in the Martial Fire Tomb?" Katrina inquire

using some top-grade casting materials he got in the Martial Fire Tomb.

In just a blink of an eye, three days had already passed. The whole place seemed tranquil and quiet.

But then a few hours later, around seven or eight dazzling beams of light suddenly appeared over the Celestial College. These auras felt extraordinary, as they enshrouded the entire college. Everyone felt so intimidated that they couldn't help but tremble.

Shortly after, these lights flew above the central square of the college. One after another, they revealed their true selves. They were wearing the same robes that had an embroidered moon on the back. These people looked aggressive and dominating. Naturally, their sudden appearance immediately attracted the attention of the entire Celestial College.

Because of this commotion, some Imperial Level warriors quickly gathered at the square. Together with a large number of disciples, they formed an array. Unfortunately, their enemies' strength was much too overwhelming. They did not dare to do anything rash. Instead, they immediately ordered some people to inform the senior leaders of the college.

As soon as he heard that some powerful and uninvited guests broke into the college, Barney and the college's elders rushed towards the square. They were shocked when they sensed those people's strength. At least three of them must be Holy Level warriors while the others must be premium stage Sage Level warriors. To top it off, their leader possessed an unfathomable strength based on his aura alone.
