Upon returning to Jadeborough, Fiona could not help bing emotional. He realized he had been


    away for quite a long time.


    Initially, Fiona had nned 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 andid 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 ovee with emotions, his tears flowing uncontrobly. “Mr.


    Chance, we, the Gundersons, have lost ournd…”


    “What exactly happened?” Fiona knitted his brows. “Lamar Macall from Zahrin Sect suddenlyunched


    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 exined.


    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 Pce 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 contemted 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


    simr for The Adamantine. However, even if we join forces, it would be an incredibly challenging task


    to reim the Gate of Fire.”


    Fiona’s mind raced as he contemted 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.


    “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 eximed, 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 herpanions. 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.
