Chapter 2404

Chapter 2404Upon returning to Jadeborough, Fiona could not help becoming emotional. He realized he had been
away for quite a long time.
Initially, Fiona had planned to go directly to the Divine Quest Sect’s secret realm to check on Valentina
and the others, but the moment he arrived at Jadeborough, Astrid brought him straight to the
Gunderson residence.
Fiona was utterly shocked when he arrived at the Gunderson residence and laid eyes upon Chester,
Evangeline, and the rest of the Gundersons residing in Fernando’s mansion. It was unusual for them to
venture out of the secret realm unless faced with an urgent situation.
“Great Elder, why did you guys leave the secret realm? What happened?” Fiona asked in disbelief.
The fact that Chester led the Gundersons out of the secret realm meant they would face the
repercussions of defying the Heavenly Law, greatly affecting their powers and abilities.
Upon noticing Fiona, Chester was overcome with emotions, his tears flowing uncontrollably. “Mr.
Chance, we, the Gundersons, have lost our land…”
“What exactly happened?” Fiona knitted his brows. “Lamar Macall from Zahrin Sect suddenly launched
an attack on us. Not only did they target our Gunderson family estate, but The Adamantine also
suffered heavy casualties. Lamar turned out to be a purple-robed emissary from Evil Heart Sect. In
fact, he and his men had long allied with Evil Heart Sect years ago,” Chester explained.
Fiona’s mind buzzed with disbelief. He had never expected Evil Heart Sect’s influence to infiltrate the
Eight Major Secret Realms!
Lamar is also a purple-robed emissary?
“Did that only happen to the Gate of Fire? How about the other secret realms?” Fiona asked.His foremost concern was his mother, who resided in Violet Cloud Palace within the Gate of Thunder.
It would be troublesome if the Gate of Thunder also falls into chaos, or if Santiago, too, is a purple-
robed emissary from Evil Heart Sect.
“I’m not entirely certain about the other realms, but it’s highly likely that Lamar isn’t the only one from
the Eight Major Secret Realms that are in cahoots with Evil Heart Sect. They might have other allies in
the other realms too. Evil Heart Sect is formidable. I can’t believe they had begun their scheming
several decades ago…” Chester sighed.
Fiona fell into deep silence, realizing the gravity of the situation. If his suspicions were true, it would be
an arduous task to eradicate Evil Heart Sect.
He contemplated the situation deeply, acknowledging his own considerable increase in power.
However, he could not ignore the stark reality of the limited number of skilled allies by his side. If Evil
Heart Sect had indeed infiltrated the Eight Major Secret Realms and taken control, it would present an
even more formidable obstacle for them to confront.
“Great Elder, how many disciples does your family still have?” Fiona inquired, seeking to assess the
remaining manpower at his disposal.
Chester appeared dejected as he responded, “Only a few of us were able to escape. The situation is
similar for The Adamantine. However, even if we join forces, it would be an incredibly challenging task
to reclaim the Gate of Fire.”
Fiona’s mind raced as he contemplated the dire situation.
A throbbing headache intensified as he grappled with the reality that his loyal followers from the mortal
realm would be ill-equipped to contend with adversaries from the secret realm.novelbin“Fiona, if you need assistance, we’re willing to lend you a hand.” Suddenly, Cecilia arrived with a group
of women.
After receiving guidance from Arthur, they underwent a remarkable transformation. Their strength had
grown to a point where they could provide significant assistance to Paul.
“You?” Fiona gazed at Cecilia and the others with a hint of confusion.
“Well, girls, I suppose we’ll have to show him what we’ve got so that he’ll quit underestimating us,”
Cecilia exclaimed, leading the other girls to demonstrate just a fraction of their power to Paul.
Fiona was left speechless as he witnessed the strength of Cecilia and her companions. However, upon
discovering that they had been guided by Arthur, Fiona immediately understood where their confidence
came from. After all, Arthur was the one person who remained an enigma to Paul.
To this day, Fiona remained clueless about Arthur’s level of cultivation. Whenever Fiona felt his own
power expanding and his confidence growing, Arthur would ruthlessly suppress him, serving as a
constant reminder of his limitations.
