Mystical Journey
chapter-1072

"The Tenth Royal Highness," one of the men shouted. "We are the Special Order and we will be under your command to investigate the Blue Frost Sect's incident," this person was tall and wore a pair of spectacles. He looked gentle and harmless. He had a snow-white longsword by his waist and was in a clean white suit.

Garen stood at the driver's window of the Flying Ship as he looked down at the crowd.

"Are all of you sent by the First Elder?"

"No, we are a group of people sent by the Second Elder and Third Elder," the man in glasses adjusted his glasses as he replied calmly. "I am the Deputy Minister of the Special Intelligence Department. You can call me Glasses."

"Am I of the highest command for this mission?" Garen nodded.

"Naturally."

Garen glanced at the crowd and the male to female distribution was very equal. Although all of them were wearing the Two Hearted Pauldron, they did not seem to be in the age to be training as a Two Hearted Disciples. Hence, the only conclusion was that they had become members of the headquarters when they graduated from being Two Hearted Disciples.

"Let's get aboard and prepare to head out," he said calmly.

"However, there are two other royal highness on their way!" The man in glasses shouted.

"There are two others?" Garen squinted his eyes. "Which two?"

As the man in glasses was about to speak, two white lines were drawn across the sky. In an instant, they landed underneath Garen's Flying Ship at the side of the crowd. They were one male and female each dressed completely in white.

One of them was Eva. her expression was cold as if she was another person. It was obvious that Rainy's death had a huge impact on her as she looked rather pale.

The other person was a muscular man with a small white cat on his shoulder.

"King Cat?" Garen recognized this man.

Although King Cat looked like a sincere, muscular and tall man, the small and pure white cat made his frightening appearance much softer.

"I represent the Third Elder in this team."

Eva stared coldly at Garen.

"I represent the Second Elder in this team."

"It looks like I'm the captain of this team?" Garen laughed. No one disputed it, including Eva as everyone assumed he's in charge.

This meant that everyone had recognized him as the strongest person around. Only the person who possessed strength had a say in everything in this Sect.

Although the Energy Machinists of Planet Naga were very good in computing power, they had used all their computing power in increasing their strength and they rarely branch out from it. Hence, the Energy Machinists were often viewed as barbarians. One of their characteristics was that they respected people with power.

"Since everyone has arrived, let's move out," Garen ordered coldly.

He was the first one who leaped into the vortex with his ship. The rest then went up to their ships and flew into it. Soon, the icy field had returned to its quiet environment.

**************

"According to intel, the traitor of the Dragon Light Sect is called Agathon. He has the strength of an Inherited Level on the surface but we're unsure if this intel is reliable. The reason he had betrayed the Sect was because he had raped and murdered the Fifth Elder's granddaughter of the Dragon Light Sect. This is the wanted assistance order we, the Intel Department had received from the Dragon Light Sect."

Glasses sent information to Garen's Flying Ship while the Flying Ship was in the middle of a dimensional leap.

"Agathon?" Garen rubbed his chin. The rotating person on the monitor was a thin, tall man. He looked very normal and seemed to be a little bit handsome. He had elegant eyes and eyebrows and didn't look like a rapist or murderer.

"What's the overall inside story?" He questioned.

Glasses was slightly stunned as he replied, "Amazing Garen your Highness. You're able to guess that there's an inside story without much lead," he continued after flattering him. "The inside story is that this man and the granddaughter of the Elder are lovers. He was a very talented man with a very bright future but he seemed to be framed by someone. After raping and murdering his lover, his reputation was thrown down the drain and had no choice but to escape. The mastermind is indeed a cruel man."

"Who else is assisting in this killing other than us?"

"Hmm… There are two other powerhouses from two different sects. They are the Black Dragon Sect and Sky Sword Sect which were from the same planet. There were also other Inherited Level Pilots which were hired as well," Glasses answered truthfully. "Since this planet is rather far away, our intel isn't really reliable so we don't know their actual strength."

"That's fine…" Garen said calmly.

The leap soon had reached an end.

In the sky above the gray and white mountains, a black hole appeared among the blue sky and white clouds as a few white Flying Ships suddenly flew out from the black hole.

Although these Flying Ships had been dyed white, its side still had the Scarlet Snow Sect's red emblem.

"Location confirmed."

"The Headquarter of the Blue Frost Sect's old address is approximately one thousand six hundred fifty-three kilometers away."

"Activating risk factors and surrounding awareness."

The participating members didn't even require any orders to act and formed a formation as they put Garen, Eva and King Cat in the middle of it.

Sizzle.

It seemed that one of the member's scanning device was faulty as it gave off a disturbing noise.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry!!" The young man immediately shouted among the team.

"It's fine. Is it your first time out for this outstation mission? Stay calm. Everyone has a first and mistakes are bound to happen," Eva comforted gently.

It was only then when the member gave a sigh of relief and thanked her profusely.

Garen ignored the little drama over there as he sat on his knees inside the flying ship while he kept training his Destructive Impact Fist.

His body and skin were in a continuous vibration. The Destructive Impact Fist was destroying his organs and bones but at the same time, the Potential Points were recovering every injury at lightning speed. Both elements were balancing each other within Garen's body.

After they had finished scanning the surrounding, they started to check their respective Flying Ships. They set up the setting to hide the Dimensional Tunnel as they required it to go back home later on.

After leaving behind half of the team to guard the Dimensional Tunnel, Garen and the other two brought six men along and went directly towards the ruins of the Blue Frost Sect.

Since the wanted traitor was still on this planet and it would require a long time to track him down, they decided to head out to the Blue Frost Sect's old address to investigate.

Garen knew much better than anyone how the Blue Frost Sect perished as his space ring contained a pile of original techniques originated from the Blue Frost Sect. He had also obtained a lot of high-grade Gene Strengthening Liquid.

Hence, his so-called investigation was nothing but an act.

Garen ordered everyone to get down from the ship and walk instead when the Blue Frost Sect's Headquarter was about ten meters away. The Blue Frost Sect was built on the planet's huge magnetic field and going there via the Flying Ship would require energy multiple times more than normal. Hence, it was better and agiler to move on foot than to fly there.

The group entered a vast golden desert once they left the ship. The scorching hot sand kept inducing the hot steams upwards as it twisted the air.

The sun bathed the entire area without mercy as it released its overwhelming heat.

However, the nine men from the Scarlet Snow Sect weren't affected by their environment as they moved swiftly forward in the desert.

The group of people looked like a clear white line among the golden desert as they moved towards the Blue Frost Sect's headquarter at a great pace.

"If I didn't come here on my own, I would've never guessed that the Blue Frost Sect would have built their headquarters on the hottest desert," The King Cat stood by the Flying Ship as he said.

"Rumor has it that they are trying to use the natural scorching heat to enhance their coolness. Imagine that you are able to release an incredible amount of chill in the hottest environment and how much chill would they have produced if they were placed under a cold environment?" Garen explained softly.

"That makes sense," King Cat was an ally of the Third Elder. Now that he was on the same team as Garen, he wouldn't try to disobey Garen even if their relationship wasn't good.

The group stood on top of the Flying Ship as they glided at great speed. Soon, they could faintly see the ruins of the Blue Frost Sect.

"Who's there!?" suddenly a shout could be heard at the front.

"We are the investigation team from the Scarlet Snow Sect. This is our assistance permit," Glasses put out a white badge-like item and a white light shone out into the sky. It was complete silence after that.

"It's the people from the Energy Machinist Alliance," Glasses explained softly to Garen and the other two.

"There should be a lot of people investigating, right?" Garen asked softly. "What kind of investigation is this about?"

Glasses then adjusted his spectacles. "Your Royal Highness. The investigation involves in finding out any key traces or presences when the Blue Frost Sect was destroyed. We also plan to collect some samples to do some experiments as well. At the same time, even though the Blue Frost Sect was destroyed, there are a few items that are too heavy to be moved away within a short period of time. Hence, our mission also involves retrieving most of these heavy equipment."

"In other words, we're here to snatch these items?" King Cat concluded in a very straightforward manner.

"Don't be that straightforward… Everyone needs to cover up somehow," Garen laughed.

"With that being said, it is as King Cat His Royal Highness has stated. We're here to snatch the items," Glasses smiled as he responded respectfully.

"No wonder they sent me out here," Garen finally understood the situation.

Indeed, he was the strongest in the Scarlet Snow Sect excluding Carthage after the battle with Eva. His battle strength far surpassed any typical Inherited Level and he was very close to achieving Non-Falling Level. Hence, the reason he was sent out here was to snatch these items.

They approached the white ruins closer and closer.

"What's the most important item left behind by the Blue Frost Sect?"

"It's the Cold Night Pond. However, there will be a lot of people fighting over it."

"Let's go to the Cold Night Pond then," Garen smiled.

***********

Within the ruins of the Blue Frost Sect, three teams of different colors were surrounding the area on top of the diamond-shaped blue crystal.

"Dragon Armor of the Dragon Light Sect, don't you think you've crossed the line that you've used the name of a fugitive to snatch items away from us Planet Almanac?"

A cold woman's voice reverberated at the top of the blue crystal.

The one who spoke was the female leader in a tight yellow suit standing on the left together with the other women.

"What do you mean by snatching? We're merely here to collect this crystal sample to analyze so that we can find out who's the murderer perishing the whole Blue Frost Sect. How can you state that this is snatching?" A soft yet villainous tone came from a man.

Among the men in golden attire on top of the right side of the crystal, there stood a handsome man gently rubbing his golden monocle with a mild expression.

"Everybody knows that the Dragon Light Sect is here to snatch the items away instead of retrieving it. Tsk tsk. How embarrassing. It's definitely considered one of the wonders among the middle sized Sect," a tall and muscular man laughed out loud weirdly among the group of black men.

"Gatengsi, looks like you've reached Grade Nine for your Black Dragon's Cloud Technique? Since you dare to speak to me in such manner," the handsome man stared femininely at the muscular man.

"Looks like I've been discovered. Heh. I'll gladly comply if you wish to fight!" Gatengsi of the Black Dragon Sect laughed. "I'll say it first. If I, Gatengsi is around, none of you will take away the Cold Night Pond away easily! Including you! Fati!"

The two local Sect had teamed up in secret to fight against the Dragon Light Sect.

"Speaking of which, isn't it bad that word has gotten out that us sects from the same star clusters fight against each other instead of fighting against the people from the Four-star Alliance? I dare you to go against the Floating Light since he has obtained the best Cold Night Pond, which is unlike ours that is so small," the feminine man smiled coldly at Fati.

"Why didn't you go then? The Four-star Alliance! Hmpf!" The woman in the yellow shirt was frightened the moment the name Floating Light appeared.

Ever since the Gideon Household had perished, the Four-star Alliance had put in a tremendous amount of effort in strengthening themselves. As the remaining three stars developed at lightning speed, a talented young man who possessed a talent that appeared once a thousand year had appeared. He was no other than Floating Light. Rumor had it that he would leave no one alive when he attacked.
