Chapter 334: 334

In less than half an hour, the four gray-robed men who had scattered and fled were all killed.

Three of the enemies were killed by the angry Five-Color Peacock, and the remaining one was killed by a group of Great Archmagi.

The retainers of the Nicholas family clan had wanted to keep one alive to be interrogated, but in the end, that Mage used a secret magical technique and a suicide attack to expose the level-6 magical beast sealed in his body. Before he died, he had wanted to drag people down with him to the underworld, but the retainers were not tricked.

Now, although there were no survivors and no information could be obtained, the identities of the four people were obvious—they were from the Beast Sect!

Only the secret technique of the Beast Sect of the Lassie Kingdom could use the human body to seal magical beasts!

Nicholas family, ancestral hall.

Romo had also heard the conversation of the people in the visitation scene. Several cold killing intents flashed in his eyes.

As Dick had said earlier, the Beast Sect was pushing their luck and going too far!

Previously, they had been secretly attacking his family members and making small moves. Now, they had actually dared to come to the doorsteps of their family clan in the Holy Light City!

They had failed to plot against the clansmen of the Nicholas family and had actually attacked the young peacock of the family!

It seemed that the ten years of low-key behavior by the Nicholas family had made some forces forget something, which was why they dared to have such a ridiculous imagination.

They might have forgotten how the Mu Guang Pavilion and the four large family clans of the Holy Light City had been annihilated.

They had been keeping a low profile, so much so that people had the impression that they were easy to bully. It was indeed time for the Nicholas family to make a move…

As he thought of this, the System notification suddenly sounded in Romo’s mind.

[Ding! Family Clan’s new mission is being generated… It has been generated.]

[Family Clan Mission: Destroy the Beast Sect within 30 days.]

“Eh?” Romo was slightly stunned, and then he smiled. “What a coincidence.”

Just like the mission to destroy the Mu Guang Pavilion back then, the timing of the appearance of this extermination mission was also very coincidental. It was not known if the System had felt that the time was ripe or that it had sensed Romo’s thoughts, which was why the extermination mission was generated.

Forget it. Anyway, the family clan had this intent. It would be a good thing to be able to obtain the System rewards after destroying the Beast Sect.

The Nicholas family clan was already powerful enough to destroy the Beast Sect. There was no need for them to send their Old Ancestor. The descendants of the family clan could also handle this themselves… However, it was difficult to find the location of the Beast Sect’s headquarters.

Like the Mu Guang Pavilion, the Beast Sect was also an extremely mysterious force. No one knew where the headquarters of this force was.

The news that could be obtained from the outside was that the Beast Sect was located in the Endless Beast Mountain east of the Lassie Kingdom.

However, the Endless Beast Mountain range was vast and endless. Finding a faction in the Endless Beast Mountain range was not much different from finding a needle in a haystack.

Previously, key information on the headquarters’ location for the annihilation of the Mu Guang Pavilion had been obtained from a Chief who had taken the initiative to come to their doorsteps. Currently, they had not obtained the key information required to annihilate the Beast Sect.

In that case, he would let Norton gather some information and see how it went. After all, Ron and Dick had not returned home yet, so there was no hurry.

Compared to the mission to destroy the Beast Sect, Romo was very interested in Anthony’s abnormal behavior today.

“Anthony, how did you know that Seven-Color was in danger?”

On the way back, Norton asked Anthony. He had wanted to ask this question earlier.

“I’m not sure…” Anthony scratched his head. “I suddenly sensed that the Seven-Color was going to be in danger.”

Hearing this, everyone who heard had a strange expression. A premonition?

Previously, everyone had thought that Anthony had suddenly rushed over in a hurry because he had a shared real-time perception with the seven-color young peacock that it was in danger… However, from hindsight, it was obvious that Anthony had set off with the Five-Color Peacock before the young peacock was in danger.

If he had not arrived early, how could he have saved the seven-color young peacock in time?

The former was a real-time perception when one was in danger, and the latter was a premonition before danger arrived. The two were not the same concept at all.

After returning to the Nicholas family palace, Norton immediately gave the order to focus on searching for information on the Beast Sect.

As the earlier commotion there had been a little too big, even the City Lord Residence had sent a Deputy City Lord to investigate the situation. When he learned that it was the people from the Beast Sect who had made small moves near the Holy Light City, the City Lord immediately began a strict investigation. He had placed great importance on this.

Compared to the Nicholas family, the feud between the royal family as well as the senate of the Sebastian Kingdom, and the Beast Sect was deeper.

After knowing that the Nicholas family had the intention to take revenge, the City Lord, Marquis Diaze, simply gave the order to share all the information the senate had obtained from the investigation of the Beast Sect with the number one family in Ferrero for free.

It was obvious that the Sebastian Kingdom was already too busy with the battle between the north and south, so they provided information support so readily.

However, even the information collected by the senate on the Beast Sect did not reveal the location of the Beast Sect’s headquarters. It had only narrowed the Endless Beast Mountain range to a 5,000-kilometer area of the Endless Beast Mountain. This information could be barely considered a small gain.

The sun had set, and it was night.

Anthony lay down to sleep as usual. When he “opened” his eyes again, he found himself in a special place.

Seeing the familiar benevolent old man in front of him, he was stunned for a moment before he quickly reacted. He was pleasantly surprised. “Old Ancestor!!”

Romo beckoned him over gently. “Anthony, come here.”

Anthony ran happily to Romo’s side and looked at the surroundings. Seeing that the Old Ancestor had turned the surroundings into a bamboo forest with a wave of his hand, he sat down on the bamboo chair curiously and looked up at the benevolent old man sitting opposite him with a cute smile.

“Old Ancestor, is it really you in a dream? Could it be that I’m dreaming again…”

The reason why he had recognized the Old Ancestor the moment he saw him was entirely because he could see the portrait of the Old Ancestor every day when he paid his respects.

In fact, the 11-year-old Anthony had only been visited by the Old Ancestor in his dream three times. On the other hand, he had dreamt of the Old Ancestor from time to time… He would often confuse the two.

It was the same for the other children in the clan. Often, a little one would dream that he had been visited by the Old Ancestor in his dream. He would be extremely happy and even flaunt this matter to the other children, often causing a large wave of envy from his companions.

Every time Romo saw a circle of children surrounding a “dream-visited” child, he could not help but laugh… It was too cute.

Romo gently caressed the conflicted Anthony and smiled. “This time, the visit by the Old Ancestor in your dream is real.”

“Old Ancestor.” Anthony blinked and asked, “Do you want to know about Seven-Color’s encounter with danger today?”

The child is indeed very sharp and intelligent.

Romo praised him in his heart and nodded gently. “Yes, can you tell me how you had sensed that Seven-Color was in danger?”

“It seemed… it seemed that I had suddenly predicted this.” Anthony tried hard to recall. “When I was listening to the lesson, I suddenly had a strange thought. It was like… like someone had told me that the Seven-Color would be in danger, and the location of Seven-Color was also inexplicably sensed…”

The answer was basically the same as what Norton had learned when he asked in detail in reality. It looked like he would not be able to get more information from the dream.

“Have you sensed anything similar previously?” Romo asked.

Anthony was not sure. “It seemed to have started ever since my realm was at the bottleneck stage. I seem to have… this strange feeling, but it also feels like an illusion…”

Romo’s eyes flickered as he had some guesses.
