Chapter 531: Retiring After Achieving Great Success

follow him either, because she knew what her nominal master was going to do. She hoped he would do just that; only when the innocent soul of her master fell into the dust could she get what she wanted...Raul carefully selected ten of the most vibrant Soulblossoms from the garden, using special gloves to dig them out and place them in a custom-made wooden box. He then tucked it carefully into his belt and grinned at everyone:

"Alright, the Wraithbloom is ours. We're loaded up and it's time to get out of here."

Ripple, Leia, and La Yi had taken advantage of Raoul's time choosing flowers to inject themselves with various potions, restoring their bodies to their peak condition. Upon hearing Raoul's words, the group rose to their feet, ready to leave Soul Ridge.

A lone figure walked through the desolate Spirit's Hill, still puzzled by the disappearance of all the spirits they had seen before.

After a cough, Lian Yi said:

"I guess it was the lightning element I invoked before that made these spirits uncomfortable, so they're hiding temporarily."

In fact, what she didn't say was that the lightning element was one aspect, but the most important aspect was her Lightning Blade. It wasn't only of the lightning attribute but also exuded a terrifying killing intent. With her battles across so many realms, her aura wasn't comparable to an ordinary sword. Even Grey would occasionally glance at the long sword at her waist, but this blade wasn't the Lightning Blade.

Having walked halfway, the group encountered a gathering of people, mostly mages, with knights and specters among them. Upon meeting, they all sized each other up, none willing to be the first to speak.

The senior mage at the head of the group looked at the three minors in front of him, along with their two accompanying guards, and twitched the corner of his mouth before speaking first.

"Are you the ones who summoned a thunder-elemental magic circle at Wraith's Hill, scaring all the spirits away"

"We set up the magical barrier, but it was an emergency, and Bart insisted we do it."

Raul wouldn't take the blame. He directly pointed at Batty who was mingling with the crowd.

Batty was called out, and could only stand up lightly, then nodded to indicate that it was indeed his permission. However, he himself didn't expect the commotion to be so great, which made him afraid to get closer for fear of affecting other souls. It was him who ordered the souls of Soul Hill to go to the outskirts.

Actually, Batty had already said this once before. It's estimated that these people didn't know that the ones who caused such a commotion were just a few minors. Now that they met him, they were somewhat disbelieving, so they asked again.

You are the young master of the Rhoden family.

A knight in shining armor stepped forward and addressed Ripple.

"Yes, I am Lian Rhodesman, on a journey of training."

Ripple nodded slightly, not feeling the need to hide anything.

"This must be Miss Leia Haney!"

Some people also recognized Leia.

It was me.

Leia smiled faintly and acknowledged her identity.

"It was you who discovered the abnormality of the mythical beast, allowing this year's bonded children to escape unharmed. Thank you for all that you have done."

Someone immediately enthusiastically expressed their gratitude.

"We just happened to find it, and we're glad we could help. No need to thank us specially."

Rill said humbly.

The atmosphere between the two sides eased considerably, and the leading mage then asked them, "What caused such a commotion just now"

Ripple and Leia exchanged glances, then each drew a memory crystal from their waistbands. Before the assembled crowd, they released the contents recorded within the crystals.

They seemed to have been busy for a long time, but in reality, it was only half an hour. When the screen recording went dark, the audience murmured in discussion.

"Can I copy the contents of a Memory Crystal"

The head mage spoke in a kind and friendly manner.

“Of course, that unusual place was handled in haste. We were also afraid of oversights, so we recorded it with memory crystals and prepared to send them to our father for the elders to thoroughly resolve this hidden danger. If you could help analyze it, that would be even better.”

Ripples smiled and handed the memory crystal in her hand over.

Take this opportunity to broadcast the abnormality, alert everyone, and make it known far and wide. This is the best course of action.

The Memory Crystal was passed from person to person, everyone made a copy for themselves. Finally, the leading high-level mage, along with three other high-level mages, went to the Sea of Souls and helped clean up the mess. Ripple and the others were naturally delighted, so that there wouldn't be any problems after they left.

After that, the group accomplished their mission and retired directly to Sol City, the nearest large city to Soul's Hill.

The first thing the group did after finding shelter was to rest, but Ripple and Leia immediately transmitted the contents recorded in their memory crystals back to their families. After leaving messages for their fathers, they fell asleep headfirst.

Raul, after closing the door, began meticulously processing the soulflower he had obtained. This would allow him to brew potions. Meanwhile, Grey, following Raul's list, went out again to buy herbs needed for replenishing stamina potions and some food supplies.

Laya was exhausted, but excited. This time, he had also made a name for himself alongside the young master. However, he remembered his mission and stayed behind to guard their young master and Miss Leia. After all, Grey had gone out to buy medicine.

They rested on their side, but the contents within the Memory Crystal spread at light speed across the entire Western Continent. This was especially true for the Rhodemans, who, as the leaders of the Western Continent and with their son having discovered the anomaly, became the focal point. While Connor Rhodeman worried about his youngest son's safety, a sliver of pride lingered in his heart.

So Connor summoned the major families of the West Continent and held a round-table conference. Over nearly half a year, he detailed every unusual event one after another to everyone present, and put forward his own opinions, hoping that everyone would raise their vigilance.

And the head of the Owen family, who was among the stargazers, stepped forward and addressed all the heads of families:

According to my recent stargazing results, the magical continent will face a major crisis. Originally, when I was stargazing, something obscured a patch of stars, preventing me from accurately predicting the exact time the crisis would arrive.

But according to the current information held by Headmaster Rhodeman, combined with the recent series of abnormal phenomena occurring on the mainland, I believe the crisis has quietly arrived, but it hasn't reached its peak yet. This indicates that we still have a chance to salvage the situation.

Nothing is achieved overnight, just like this time the three underage children nipped the emerging crisis in the bud, which shows that we seized the initiative.

Having heard Owen's praise, Rodman just smiled humbly and then spoke.

"If such issues are arising in the West, could the same be happening in hidden corners of the East, South, and North continents"

This calls for all of you to leverage your strengths, contact the other three mainland areas, and promptly disseminate the message. Only then can we effectively nip this crisis in the bud.u don't stop, I'll take all four of you down with me!"You are threatening me!"Liàn Yī said with surprise."Hmph! I am an independent space, this is my domain, and I will soon have the power to trap you...
