Chapter 1583: Chapter 578: Microorganisms in Water_3

Alston had fallen into Parkery City and was still in shock. He touched the back of his head to make sure he was still alive, and that the Master had no intention of killing him. He looked around and saw that Parkery City was indeed peaceful and serene, not just an illusion.

After confirming this, he didn’t dare to linger for a moment and even didn’t dare to greet Ava Green. He hurriedly flew out of the city and returned to the beacon tower.

"I’m ashamed..."

Then, he stood by the wall with Hamdi Jamal. The two Protectors were genuinely afraid now, for even Chief Ava might not last ten rounds against this old Master. Alston was even more impressed, as his own skill in illusions was obviously inferior to that of the Master.

They passed the night in silence. When daybreak approached, the Master suddenly stood up and looked at Parkery City, shaking his head, "Elijah’s target isn’t here."

The two Protectors were at a loss, "Where else could it be? This is the most densely populated area nearby."

The Master took out his Communication Talisman and called Ava Green, "It’s not here, come back." Ava Green was anxious but she didn’t trust the Master’s judgment. She ordered others to stay in Parkery City and went to meet the Master alone.

Upon her arrival, she noticed something strange: Hamdi Jamal and Alston were dutifully following the Master like attendants! Ava Green was puzzled, "Aren’t they my prisoners? Why are they so respectful to Daoist Brother?"

But she didn’t have time to ask, she turned to the Master, "If it’s not Parkery City, then where is it?"

The Master said, "The map." Ava Green waved her sleeve, and a huge map of Radiance appeared. The Master said, "Mark the places that the Heavenly Demon Altar poisoned 600 years ago."

Ava Green patiently marked the places, and the Master carefully analyzed the map before drawing a line on it, "These are the places that were affected by the Heavenly Demon Altar. Do you see a pattern?"

Ava Green looked closely and suddenly understood, "Snail River! I see, Daoist Brother’s point is that ’Soul Valley’ spread along the river?"

But she quickly shook her head, "This could just be a coincidence. Look at the other places; there are no rivers passing through."

Instead of explaining, the Master considered the possibility that if his guess was correct, and "Soul Valley" was similar to a virus in his previous life, then there might be more than one way to spread it. It might spread along the river, be carried by the wind, be transmitted by a merchant team, infecting every place it passes through, and so on.

Moreover, this was a world of Cultivation, and after improvements through Cultivation Methods, these "viruses" could become even more terrifying.

"Never mind that for now, find out which river in the vicinity has the most towns along its banks." Ava Green quickly found it, "Merlin River – within a 700-mile range, there are 11 County Towns and countless villages on both sides of the river, with a total population of about 2 million!"

Ava Green’s voice trembled, "If it really is Merlin River, the consequences would be terrifying... "

Suddenly, Ava felt a surge of anger towards Hamdi Jamal and Alston. The two of them looked aggrieved, as it wasn’t related to them.

Master looked at Ava Green and said, "Let’s go to the Merlin River immediately!"

Ava Green gritted her teeth, "Alright!" If she didn’t go, the Master definitely wouldn’t go either.

With eleven County Towns along Merlin River, dividing their forces now would not be a wise decision. However, Ava Green had no other choice but to send her Protectors and Seventh Realm subordinates to search each County Town.

As for Hamdi Jamal and Alston, they continued to stay by her side.

Ava Green was on edge, hoping for news from her subordinates, but also dreading it. If they encountered Elijah alone, they were almost certainly doomed.

Every half Shichen (1 hour), Ava Green contacted everyone. However, no one found anything, and she began to doubt the Master’s judgment. Had she trusted him too readily and left Parkery City too soon? What if Elijah’s target was indeed Parkery City...

Master found it strange as well, as based on the timeline, Elijah should have started his plan by now, and the Seventh Realm operatives should have discovered some clues.

Suddenly, the Master seemed to think of something and called Hamdi Jamal and Alston. The two humbly replied, "Your Excellency, what are your orders?"

"There must be a network of Regan Kingdom’s spies in Douglas Country. Contact them immediately, and don’t miss a single one!"

Hamdi Jamal and Alston hesitated. They knew sooner or later they would be forced to reveal this information, but they still harbored hope that after the events at Black Dragon Valley, the spies would be replaced. For them, surrendering to Douglas Country and betraying their comrades were two different feelings.

Getting a sharp glare from the Master, Alston was the first to kneel down and said righteously, "The enemy’s spies deserve to die! Your Excellency has given them the chance to turn to the light, which is a reward! Please be assured, I will handle this matter and make sure there’s not a single fish that escapes the net!"

Hamdi Jamal was a little slower, and all his words were taken by Alston. In the end, he only managed to say, "I will do the same!"

Ava Green was already numb, thinking: What a disgrace! Your positions as Protectors have been severely downgraded, and you’ve lost face for the Seventh Realm! Chief Ava was utterly baffled: what had happened that these two, who were technically her prisoners, seemed even more afraid of Daoist Brother?
