Chapter 291: 291
Chapter 291: Contact: Part 1
At the Moon Basin, the highest echelon of Carte Blanche .
In the expansive white space, there was no sky nor land but a floating city suspended right in the center . It looked like a huge basin when looking from above with seven purple ribands twirling around a dark vortex in the center . This vortex was continuously emitting tons of dark energy to suppress and seal a certain force field . In the middle of one of the purple ribands, a tall man, wearing a lunar-white, half-body armor, was walking toward the center .
“Azem, what are you doing here? You’re no longer a member of the Moon Basin!” A burly looking woman, wearing the same lunar-white, half-body armor, stepped out from the circular opening appearing on the white wall . She stopped the man right away, her eyes cold and laced with a concoction of emotions .
“Merrie, it’s you! Only you still keep my detector . You are always the first to know as soon as I step into the Moon Basin . ” The man smiled and stopped in his tracks .
“What are you doing here? Answer me . ” Out of nowhere, a long and dazzling spike appeared in Merrie’s hand . Strands of snake-like filaments were spinning around the spike .
“I-I’ve come to deliver a message for my lord . ”
“Your lord?” Merrie’s heart sank, her expression changing as if she had thought of something . “Is the rumor true you have joined the Sevenlocks Tower?”
Azem did not reply . He lifted his arm and with the wave of his hand, he shot out a strand of black filament into the white wall . “This is the message . Whether it is you, the Heaven’s Spire, or the Hellfire, you all are getting the same message . What the Lord wants is written in there . ”
“What is it? A warning?” A white-haired shadow appeared behind Azem on the passage .

“You all may treat this as a warning,” Azem said . “The Sevenlocks Tower does not want to delve into many matters, be it you or the Heaven’s Spire . Otherwise…”
“When the moon turns full round, you can try again . If we could have the first Battle of March, what prevents us from having the second?” The white-haired shadow said intimidatingly .
“The Battle of March?” Azem guffawed and said nothing more . During the Battle of March ninety years ago, his lord was injured, and the three mysterious realms almost destructed . Only the Sevenlocks Tower suffered the least casualty . So who was the winner here? MRA—the Mysterious Realm Alliance might seem like the winner . But then?
“We’ll see then . ” Azem’s body slowly broke up into countless pieces, like a mirror cracked and shattered . They dropped and vanished .
Meanwhile, Merrie and the old man gazed at the spot where Azem had been, and no one said a word .
“Storm is rising again…” Auldmandiller sighed as he crumpled the letter in his hand . The paper turned into black ash and disappeared . “What is the Moon Basin’s decision? Something is going on in the Sevenlocks Tower . The Heaven’s Spire is ambitious . And the Hellfire is happy to be self-contented . We don’t know if the MRA could restructure itself . ” He turned to look at his mate, Frendiman, behind him .
Frendiman was an old-fashioned scholar, a top professor who had a high academic credential in the Carte Blanche, and also a corrupt-class Darksider . Among the big three schools of dark energy: Corrupt, Violence, and Elusion, the Corrupt school was at the top of the pile . And the level of complexity of the corruptor school of dark energy far surpassed the others . So Frendiman deserved the reputation with his achievement, which came after his participation in the world-changing world war back then .

“The tide of suppression of the three mysterious realms didn’t just happen two days ago . Even if you can recover from your injury during the full moon, there won’t be an all-out war . Otherwise, there will be mutual destruction . ”
Frendiman was more optimistic .
“The Sevenlocks Tower is our old opponent in the open, and this is a good thing . Instead, I’m more concerned with the terrorist groups who act in the dark . Things might get even messier by then . ”
Auldmandiller nodded in agreement .
“The Sect of Verity, the Sect of Star Alias, and the Sect of Thousand Grace are the most noxious . We have launched many offensives against them . But they are elusive rodents, we have difficulty wipe them off . ”
“The principal mentioned his intention to clean up Miga once again during the last meeting . Just that the perception of the Horcrux is troublesome,” Frendiman said .
“Troublesome? Every time we launched an offensive campaign, someone would leak the intel . Those who leaked information of this level are…”
“Mind your word!” Frendiman interrupted his friend, and his expression changed . The two remained silent for a while before Fendiman said again in a low voice, “Let’s not talk about this . Who will you bring for the next school meeting?”

“I have only two disciples,” replied Auldmandiller .
“Lin Sheng, the new guy? I heard that he had got over 500 units of dark energy in his initial awakening . He is a genius for sure . ”
“There have been many new recruits who could achieve the same thing for the past five hundred years . No big deal . ” Auldmandiller put up a pretentious waving hand, but deep inside, it flattered him .
Frendiman responded with a sneer, not wanting to pander to the old man’s hypocritical response . Instead, he got to his feet and went to the window, looking down the fortress .
In the sparring ring, students had gathered in a corner, watching an ongoing sparring session . Margaret wielded a slender sword, her every move as quick as lightning, striking at her opponent, Lin Sheng . And Frendiman recognized him, he was the recruit his friend mentioned .
Lin Sheng was on the defensive all the time . Green crystals constantly shrouded him and stopped Margaret’s relentless attack . Not so long after, the two stopped and bowed at each other after exhausting their dark energy .
“Awesome, Margaret . I lost . My dark energy could no longer keep up with you,” said Lin Sheng, pretending to gasp for air .
“Lin Sheng, you truly are the genius of the new students! With only one year older, you already display such an impressive strength!” Margaret pretended to sweat profusely .
The two of them sang praises of each other . Never mind the superfluous connotation, there was a subtle sense of appreciation for each other in their eyes . While they both knew that the other was hiding the real strength, they were confident of their own ability . And here it was, the melodrama .
The other awed students rose in loud applause . The postures and strength of the two during the sparring still lingered in their eyes .
Lin Sheng had been searching for the new bases of the Sect of Thousand Graces for the past days . But they were always one step ahead of Lin Sheng, constantly shifting the location of their bases . Lin Sheng had found four strongholds based on his memories . But each time he arrived, the place was empty . Frustrated, Lin Sheng returned to the Soul Fortress and continued his cultivation .
With no further exhaustion of stamina, his dark energy and holy power were increasing . But his bloodline stagnated . The good thing was, his Dragon blood was stable, at one-third of the stable level . His holy power had breached Level 9 . And his dark energy was coming to the upper limit of Three Wings . By common standard, the lower ceiling of Three Wings was 2,000 and upper ceiling 20,000 . It was a huge chasm to climb . The physique-changing dragon blood not only nourished the body but also benefitted the dark energy, Right now, Lin Sheng’s dark energy had reached the 18,000th level .
