Jadiel couldn’t help but inquire, “Master Ying, my subordinates believe that the individual in question must have some connection with An’s family. After all, why would hee to their aid during such a critical moment?”


    Sara shook her head, a shadow of concern clouding her features. “I’m not sure either. If Willie truly is dead, then the person responsible must be a stronger monk. I’ve had eyes on An’s family for years, and there’s been no indication of any ties to monks.”


    Jadiel pressed further, “Is it possible that Willie inadvertently crossed paths with a local expert in Aurous Hill?”


    Sara pondered for a moment before responding, “I can’t dismiss that possibility. The magic weapon has been recovered. Where there’s a magic weapon, there’s likely a monk involved. I’m starting to suspect that the magic weapon Willie found in Aurous Hill might just be a trap set by the opposition—a lure to draw Willie in!”


    Jadiel eximed, “If that’s the case, then the other party anticipated Willie’s trip to Aurous Hill?!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “It’s certainly possible.” Sara’s expression grew moreplex, and then she recalled something. “Tonight, I instructed Uncle to covertly follow Uncle Willie. If Uncle Willie is forced into a dangerous situation, she might be at risk too!”


    Jadiel’s eyes widened in rm. “If anything happens to Uncle, it would be a tremendous blow to our efforts in breaking the Qing Dynasty! You’ve invested years into nurturing those four earls. If misfortune befalls all three, chaos would surely ensue among the ranks!”


    Sara replied coldly, “Chaos? Remember, if both Uncle Willie and Uncle Dingyuan meet with untimely ends, anyone within the Five Armies Commander’s Mansion who causes disorder will pay dearly! If one foot isn’t enough, we’ll take two!”


    Jadiel nodded respectfully, “Understood!”


    Sara continued, “Should both of them perish, we must ensure that the Fifth Army Commander’s Mansion keeps tight-lipped about it. Anyone who dares to leak information will face dire consequences!”


    Jadiel sped his hands and assured her, “Rest assured, my Lord, your subordinates will ry the message!”


    Then, Jadiel knelt on one knee and said earnestly, “My Lord, I have a request!”


    Sara replied with a cold tone, “Speak!”


    Jadiel said, “My Lord! If Uncle Willie and Uncle Nakul truly fall in Aurous Hill, I suggest we summon the three elders of the Presbyterian Council to leave their seclusion early. If they join forces, I am confident they can eliminate the powerful master lurking in the shadows!”


    Sara’s expression tightened. “The three elders have been in seclusion for a century, reaching a critical stage in their cultivation of the Niwan Pce. If we interrupt them now, it could dy their opening of the Niwan Pce by another twenty years. This decision is not to be taken lightly…”


    She added, “You must understand, the three elders are my secret weapon. For over a century, only five people are aware of their existence. Besides you, that includes the four earls. I cannot move this asset unless absolutely necessary!”


    Jadiel quickly countered, “My Lord! If Uncle Willie and Uncle Dingyuan meet with disaster today, I can assure you that the party responsible is the same one that took Uncle Nakul’s life, as well as the one who rescued Uncle Nakul in New York. They are also linked to the rescue of Lin Wan’er (ni) in Northern Europe!”<fnd382> Updates are released by FindN0vel</fnd382>


    “This indicates that the adversary is not a solitary figure but part of a vast organization like the Poqing Society!”


    “They possess not only traditional masters like monks but also adept users of modern weaponry, such as close-defense guns. This is a well-rounded operation. If we allow this opponent to continue developing, they will undoubtedly be a significant threat to the future of the Po Qinghui!”


    After a moment of silence, Sara’s thoughts raced as the implications settled in.
