Chapter 531
The one hosting the gathering was Marquis Henry, a veteran Transcendent.
Sometimes, a few words could decide a major event at a Transcendent gathering. However, most of the time, it was a meaningless chat. Between Transcendents, not every family had a harmonious relationship.
“Your granddaughter has also reached the age to discuss marriage. How about it? Do you want to consider my second son? He has the strength of the great circle of the awakened realm.”
“Get lost. Your second son is almost a hundred years old. Can you be a little arrogant?”
“Two days ago, my son came to visit but was rejected. Why? Have you all closed your doors recently? Marquis Turner too.”
“Not only that, Marquis Burton’s Manor, ang Marquis Bel’s manor have all been closed recently. I thought that you wouldn’t be able to receive an invitation letter for this gathering. Is there some hidden secret?”
“Has Marquis Shelley been well recently? Wasn’t he the most enthusiastic about this kind of gathering in the past?”
The ordinary Transcendent who had been asked was a little hesitant.
Originally, his status in the manor was not high. Now, most of the people around him were experienced Transcendents. The strands of aura that he inadvertently released made this Transcendent of Marquis Shelley’s manor feel like he was being kicked in the heart. It was as if he was a normal person in a pack of wolves.
“Lord, Lord Marquis is in seclusion recently.”
“That’s not right. A few days ago, he invited me to drink. It’s just that I didn’t go. Moreover, is seclusion more important than a gathering?”
“Lord… Lord Marquis is in seclusion this time. No, it’s not good to disturb him.”
The Transcendents conversed in twos and threes.
At this moment, Marquis Henry, who was seated at the head seat, suddenly spoke, “Marquis Shelley probably won’t be able to come.”
“What, what did you say?” The ordinary Transcendent’s heart jumped.
“Marquis Bell and Marquis Qi should be the same.”
“I think it is better to be honest and open. I believe that there are not many people who have encountered such a situation.”
As soon as he finished speaking,
Some people were expressionless, some had a slight change in expression, and some looked around…
As a noble, the most important thing was the history and honor of the family.
To be invaded by an unknown enemy was like entering an uninhabited place. This was something no one was willing to say.
Other than face, they were more worried about being seen through by others.
They were all secretly observing others.
After a pause, Marquis Henry spoke again, “Not many people have been invited to this gathering. Since you are not willing to reveal it, then let me speak first.
That’s right. Just yesterday, two people barged into my residence. They are dressed in black robes, and their strength is especially terrifying. Moreover, they are not on par with any of the known Transcendents in the capital!
That’s all I have to say. If you are willing to be honest, then you can continue to talk. If you are not willing, then you can leave. However, I am very confident in inviting you all here.
The Transcendents looked at each other.
After a short period of observation, many people became more and more certain.
Perhaps, their own encounters were not the only, and the others present were likely to be brothers who were in trouble.
It would be a joke to say that they did not hate the mysterious person who emptied their treasury.
After a few minutes of silence,
“That’s right. Five days ago, I also encountered the same situation. Although we fought with the two mysterious people for a long time, in the end, we still couldn’t beat them. Many things were taken away.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the other Transcendents finally let go of the string in their hearts and spoke one after another.
“We were also attacked by the mysterious person the day before yesterday. Those two were really strong. Although we had many people, in the end, we were still a step behind. The losses were not small.”
“Sigh, we have a great formation protecting us. Unfortunately, the two of them were too slippery. They did not fight us head-on. They robbed us of a treasure trove and fled…”
“We also bumped into the mysterious man. We used all our strength to finally injure one of them. Unfortunately, they sneaked into the mansion and stole some treasures. We couldn’t keep them…”
“…”
“Eh? Are those guys that strong?”
An honest Transcendent looked at the people around him in a daze.
Isn’t everyone’s strength similar? Their clan leader was defeated by the black-robed man in three moves. How, how come the other clans are evenly matched with the black-robed man and even injured such a powerful enemy?
Has our clan been at peace for too long and become weak?
Marquis Bolton was expressionless and sneered in his heart.
Hehe,
Each and every one of them was boasting to the heavens!
Why didn’t he say that he had repelled the black-robed man?
He looked at the ordinary Transcendent who had spoken. Perhaps even their clan leader had been killed.
“Cough cough!”
“The purpose of this gathering is to figure out the strength of the mysterious man and prepare countermeasures. Therefore, I hope that everyone can share the information truthfully. As long as it is exaggerated…”
His eyes revealed a cold light, and a powerful aura spread out.
The three ordinary Transcendents shrank their necks. The other boasting Transcendents also closed their mouths.
Offending Marquis Henry was not good, especially when the family power was damaged.
There was no harm in telling the truth. In any case, he wouldn’t be the only one who would lose face.
“The two black-robed men we met were one tall and one short. At that time, the only one who attacked was the tall man. He was skilled in the way of the sword and his sword aura was extremely sharp. In a normal battle, I’m afraid I won’t be able to last more than three moves,” a senior Transcendent said.
In fact, he had been seriously injured in one move. However, even if he were to tell the truth, he had to beautify it a little. He was afraid that others would find it strange, so he didn’t stop and continued, “Later, we activated the great formation, and our strength increased greatly. We even used the power of the great formation to suppress the other party. But guess what?”
“The black-robed man holding the two swords also used his domain, right?” “We were clearly stronger than the mysterious man, but we were still crushed by his sword domain,” another experienced Transcendent said.
In the gathering of ten people, there were three groups that met the combination of Kong and Zhu Shu Li.
The ones who attacked were basically Kong, using this to hone his own Sword Dao.
However, the other Transcendents were a little puzzled when they heard this.
“Wait, aren’t those two black-robed men about the same height? Aren’t they using firearms?”
“That can’t be right. Those two black-robed men are obviously women. You can’t even differentiate between men and women, right?”
“Judging from their auras, the black-robed men are clearly experienced Transcendents, right? Why are they so much stronger than us? Are they not going to awaken”
“Not only are they powerful, but their equipments are all Transcendent divine weapons! Battle suits, weapons, and black robes. I suspect that even their sunglasses and masks are divine weapons. In any case, no matter how intense the battle is, their masks have never been destroyed.”
After sharing the information, even the organizer of the gathering, Marquis Henry, who believed that he had the most information, was extremely shocked.
The mysterious powerhouses that suddenly appeared thought that two were enough.
The result was six people!
Among them, there were two who hadn’t fought much!
Perhaps,
There were more black-robed people, but they did not meet them!
“Where did they come from? What is their purpose?”
“I have to figure out the identity of the mysterious man. I don’t want to be on tenterhooks anymore!”
“I’m guessing that they probably aren’t from the capital. That’s why they suddenly appeared!”
“That’s impossible. I’m afraid that only those monsters are left in the outside world. Moreover, other than our capital, how else could such an expert be born”
“I once heard of a scandal about the royal family. It seems that back then, some of the royal family members split up and left the capital… You can’t talk nonsense about this.”
“No matter what, we have to think of a way to deal with these mysterious people. We can’t let them barge into our mansion as they please!”
In the intense discussion, they also came up with some feasible methods.
Marquis Henry suggested, “I think we should give each mysterious person a code name so that we can analyze and study this mysterious organization. We can’t always use the mysterious person as a name.”
Finally,
Shea, who often appeared with a cigarette in her mouth, was replaced with ‘Smoke Ghost’.
Kong, who possessed the Domain of the Sword, was replaced with ‘Swordsman’.
Fanny, who wore a wolf mask, was replaced with ‘Wolf Girl’.
Lorraine’s code name was ‘Sharpshooter’.
Gray Blade’s code name, “Shadow”.
Zhu Shu Li, who didn’t do much, were called “Gnome” in the Northern District because they were short.
Moreover, because the mysterious people all appeared in black robes, after unanimous vote, Marquis Henry named this group of mysterious people…
“Black Robe Organization”!
