Chapter 187 Destroy the Mu Guang Pavilion in Thirty Days

After the City Lord had seen these few people clearly, he felt a hint of admiration for the Five-Color Peacock. He had not expected the Guardian Spirit Beast of the Nicholas family clan to be able to accurately find the spies from the Mu Guang Pavilion who were lying in ambush in Winterfrost, and at such a fast speed.

In just a few minutes, the Five-Color Peacock had flown back to the sky above the Nicholas family palace and landed slowly, as if it had completed its mission.

At this moment, Alex and Karuman had finally arrived beside the City Lord. They had also seen the four people who had been restrained by his energy.

“Could all four of them be from the Mu Guang Pavilion?” Alex asked. “I think I’ve seen that person somewhere.”

Alex had also recognized one of them. After all, they had previously investigated the Mu Guang Pavilion and obtained some information.

However, the information they had obtained was limited. They did not know what the subsequent actions and goals of the Mu Guang Pavilion’s Chiefs would be.

“It looks like this is the case.” The City Lord nodded and replied, “The Five-Color Peacock is really powerful. It was actually able to find them instantly. There shouldn’t be anyone from the Mu Guang Pavilion in the city now.”

From their conversation, Karuman’s mind was racing as if he had thought of something, but he did not say anything.

Currently, the entire city was in chaos. Almost all the citizens had come out to take a look at the Five-Color Peacock. The City Lord said helplessly, “I have to apologize to both of you. I still have something which I need to settle. Both of you can return to the Nicholas family palace first. I’ll be there in a while.”

Alex nodded and returned to the Nicholas family palace with Karuman. The City Lord went to the officials with the four spies. He told them to bring the spies back and lock them up, as well as to calm the citizens of the city.

In the Nicholas family palace, the Five-Color Peacock landed on the tree in the backyard immediately after it returned. It did not seem to see everyone’s surprised expression as it emitted a cold aura.

Norton had also guessed that the Five-Color Peacock’s actions might have had something to do with the Old Ancestor, or perhaps it was an order from the Old Ancestor, but he dared not say anything. Finally, when Karuman and Alex had returned and told Norton that nothing major had happened and that they had caught a few spies from the Mu Guang Pavilion, Norton’s worried heart was finally relieved.

Then, Alex was invited to the main hall, and Charles also went to rest. The newly found clansmen too went to rest first. After the guests had settled down, they would carry out the ancestral worship ritual.

The servants of the Nicholas family clan started to get busy, but Karuman did not appear in the hall. He returned to his old place.

Although he usually felt bored, after this experience, he felt unprecedentedly relaxed when he saw the chair he had been sitting in.

He had thought initially that this mission would be extremely easy, and had not expected to almost lose his life. Fortunately, reinforcements had appeared in the end, and also the help from the Five-Color Peacock.

As Karuman was thinking, he was about to sit down when he suddenly discovered something unusual. He sniffed carefully and could actually smell a hint of blood.

What had happened here?

Although the smell was faint, Karuman could still smell it. And from a guess of the time, this stench of blood had appeared not long ago.

But after looking around, everything was normal. Karuman began to wonder if he had been hallucinating. If not, it could only mean that someone had solved the problem.

Karuman turned around and looked at the tree behind the ancestral hall. He guessed that this matter might have something to do with the Five-Color Peacock, but it did not even look at him. He could not tell what had happened.

In fact, the Five-Color Peacock had also sensed that something was amiss earlier, but the Five-Color Peacock did not think too much about it. In any case, it had already completed the mission its master had assigned to it. Its next task was to go into seclusion to train.

After Romo had ordered the Five-Color Peacock to wipe out the assassins hidden in Winterfrost, he was relieved. He deliberately did not let the Five-Color Peacock kill those people but let it hand them over to the City Lord. After all, those few people were just small fries. They were not of any real value.

As for the secrets of the Mu Guang Pavilion, Romo already knew about them. Furthermore, he already had a plan to deal with the Mu Guang Pavilion, and did not need anyone’s help.

(Ding! New mission has been generated.]

[Mission Details: Destroy the Mu Guang Pavilion. Mission Time limit: 30 days]

Suddenly, the System notifications sounded in Romo’s ear. After hearing them, Romo was overjoyed. He had not expected the System to be of the same mind as him, and that a new mission had even appeared.

This was the first time. Previously, missions would only appear after the descendants had encountered danger or had used special tools. In any case, Romo also wanted to finish off the Mu Guang Pavilion. This way, he would also be able to obtain a large reward.

However, on further thought, this was normal. After all, the Mu Guang Pavilion had posed a huge threat to the Nicholas family, so it was within expectations that this mission would appear, and the timing was just right.

The time limit for the mission was 30 days. This had not exceeded Romo’s expectations. He had planned to finish the Mu Guang Pavilion within 30 days.

Soon, the City Lord arrived at the Nicholas family palace. Zoro heard from Norton and the others what had happened during their journey and could not help but feel a lingering fear. It was fortuitous to have the City Lord and Senior Alex’s help, so he quickly thanked them.

However, it was true that the City Lord and Alex had been a great help. If the two of them had not appeared in time, Karuman might not have been able to hold out till the Five-Color Peacock arrived.

If that was really the case, Romo would probably have to waste an Ancestral Spirit Protection Talisman. The Nicholas family also knew that the City Lord had been investigating the Mu Guang Pavilion recently. It was a huge coincidence that he could help the Nicholas family.

The City Lord and Alex left without staying for too long. After they had left, Norton told Zoro about the situation of Herbert and the others.

During this period of time, the servants of the Nicholas family had already prepared everything necessary for the ancestral worship ritual.

As the ancestral worship ritual began, Romo heard the System notifications.

(Ding! Lost descendants have returned to the family. Identities confirmed. The descendants who have returned have joined the family genealogy.)

[Number of descendants who have returned:

11]

(First worship by the clansmen who have returned. Received tenfold Faith Points. Received a total of 8,000 Faith Points for this worship. The Faith Doubling Talisman has been activated. Received an additional 8,000 Faith Points.)

After these 11 people had joined the genealogy, the Nicholas family clan had become stronger again. The number of family members had increased to 47.
