Careful!! (Please Follow-up Reading)

The Black Robe Pathseekers Society's plan could be said to have been flawless.

Zero-Ring Wizardry enhanced by a Magic Artifact, coupled with the seamless coordination between Weina and Nairun.

If Chen Mu had been a peak knight at this moment, he would likely have been severely wounded in an instant.

And that was only because his innate spiritual attribute was higher than that of ordinary people.

If Chen Mu's spiritual attribute had only been 1, and he had merely been a Formal Knight, then he would likely have been nothing more than a corpse by now.

But unfortunately, Chen Mu was a Grand Knight at this moment, and one whose Spiritual Power far exceeded that of ordinary people.

So although this Zero-Ring mental wizardry had struck Chen Mu, he recovered in just an instant.

Seeing Chen Mu recover from Mental Thorn so quickly and casually snap several Shadow Tentacles apart, Weina's expression changed drastically.

Shadow Art was not omnipotent, after all. It had its drawbacks as well.

The Shadow Art enhancing them would instantly fail the moment they used wizardry.

But this was not inherently a fatal drawback, because if they could kill Chen Mu the instant they struck, then it would not matter whether the Shadow Art failed or not.

But now, this drawback was somewhat fatal! "The intelligence was wrong. Vieri isn't a Formal Knight at all, but a true Grand Knight! Shit!"

This was the only thought in Weina and Nairun's minds at this moment.

They now understood how Ke Di had felt back then.

They had struck with confidence, only to discover that their enemy was Worlds Apart from what they had imagined.

What kind of intelligence had that old bastard given them?! The most important thing, his realm, was completely wrong!

Zero-Ring Wizardry · Shadow Ball

Zero-Ring Wizardry · Mental Hook

Still, their reactions were not slow. They had struggled so hard to become Wizard Apprentices, not to stand around in a daze now.

Their reactions were not slow, but Chen Mu's was even faster! Almost the instant he broke free from the Shadow Tentacles, his entire body was enveloped in a Golden Qi Stream.

Knight Skill: Burst

Knight Skill: Charged Strike

Chen Mu unleashed both Knight Skills in an instant, his heavy fist smashing fiercely toward the two before him.

Now that he was prepared, Nairun's mental wizardry could only daze him for a moment and did not affect his attack in the slightest.

Dodging the Shadow Ball, Chen Mu's heavy fist came crashing down on Weina's head.

The punch produced a massive sonic boom in the air.

How could Weina, merely a Level 1 Wizard Apprentice, possibly withstand such a blow? In terms of physical fitness, he was not even comparable to a Formal Knight.

Thus, in an instant, Chen Mu smashed his head into pulp.

The clash between the three seemed to have lasted a long time, but it had actually taken place within only a few seconds.

Just as Nairun decided to make a desperate final stand, a loud crash suddenly came from the wall of Chen Mu's room.

A huge hole suddenly appeared in the room's wall.

A man suddenly appeared in Chen Mu's room. It was Earl Arthur.

The moment he heard the sounds of fighting from Chen Mu's room, he had hurriedly broken through the wall.

"Are you all right, Vieri?"

Earl Arthur swept his gaze across Chen Mu's room and saw Weina lying on the floor, his head no longer resembling a head.

His expression was somewhat surprised, and concern colored his voice.

Chen Mu shook his head.

Seeing that Chen Mu was unharmed, Earl Arthur shifted his gaze to Nairun, his eyes as deep as a lake.

"It's over!"

Nairun was utterly despairing. He could not even deal with Chen Mu alone.

Now that Earl Arthur, who was even stronger than Chen Mu, had joined in, his chances of surviving were practically nonexistent.

"I won't kill you. Tell me, what are all of the Black Robe Pathseekers Society's plans this time?"

Under Nairun's despairing gaze, Earl Arthur spoke calmly.

A flicker of hope appeared in Nairun's eyes.

Outside the core area of the Far East Territory, within a dense forest.

Under the cover of night, four or five figures could vaguely be seen.

"What's going on with Nairun and the others? It's been an hour already. They should have returned by now."

One of the shadowy figures spoke, a trace of unease in his voice.

"Could something have gone wrong? They have Shadow Cloaks, but they'll still reveal their traces after casting wizardry. Could Arthur have stopped them?"

Another voice spoke.

Hearing this, the first shadowy figure frowned. "That's possible, but these Dark Guards are acting normally. They don't look like the plan succeeded."

As he spoke, the shadowy figure turned his gaze toward the Golden Lion Family's Dark Guards in the distance. These Dark Guards were still patrolling the territory like machines.

"Perhaps something delayed them?"

Hearing this, the shadowy figure fell silent.

After a while, he spoke again. "We can't wait any longer. Ke De, sneak into the Manor and see whether Vieri is dead."

Ke De's expression darkened after being called out.

"Lai Wan, how is that any different from sending me to my death?"

Ke De's voice was filled with dissatisfaction.

He did not have a Shadow Cloak. Sneaking into the Golden Lion Family's core area without permission was no different from seeking death.

Never mind finding out whether Vieri was dead, even whether he could infiltrate the place where Vieri lived was a problem.

That old bastard! Ke De felt some resentment in his heart.

Lai Wan froze for a moment. He understood that he had just said something pointless.

"Then we'll wait a little longer."

Lai Wan spoke, sighing inwardly.

In order to persuade the Black Robe Pathseekers Society's other members to carry out an operation against the Golden Lion Family this time, he had paid no small price.

It was clearly unwise to anger the others present again now.

But no one could remain rational after their son had been killed.

Suddenly, Lai Wan noticed what seemed to be a faint glimmer of light in the distance.

A hint of joy appeared on his face, and he thought that Weina and Nairun had returned.

But in the next moment, his expression changed drastically!

"Careful!!"

With a startled cry, Lai Wan did not even bother concealing his tracks.

The other four around him also heard Lai Wan's shout. Though they did not know what had happened, their bodies instinctively dodged to the side.

Under the cover of night, an arrow shot toward them at high speed, its target the Wizard Apprentices present.

The arrow whistled through the air, becoming a life-taking blade under the cover of darkness.

Lai Wan dodged instinctively, but he was not the arrow's target.

"Pfft!"

It was the sound of an arrow piercing through flesh.

Although Lai Wan had shouted a warning, only he and Ke De had truly reacted in time.

One of those who had failed to react in time had his heart pierced by an exceptionally sharp arrow.

His eyes bulged wide, as though he had never expected to die just like that! "Damn it!"

A chill rose in Lai Wan's heart.

No matter how foolish he was, he now knew that their position had been exposed, and the reason they had been exposed most likely lay with Weina and Nairun.

After all, only those two knew their location.

As for who was firing arrows from the shadows, there was no need to think about it. It had to be someone from the Golden Lion Family.

The plan may have failed!

This thought inevitably surfaced in Lai Wan's mind.

Unwillingness and fury engulfed him.

Another sharp arrow came flying! Unlike the previous one, if the first arrow had been meant for concealment, then this second arrow had no intention of concealing itself at all.

Under the cover of darkness, this arrow glowed with dazzling golden light! Please keep reading~ Follow-up Reading is super important during a new book's release period!
