Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 506: Chapter 177: The Final Secret in the Ruins_4

Leonard Churchill, hearing these words, suddenly said: “Oh, so that’s it.”

He had always known that his faith had not been polluted would be exposed, it was just a matter of time.

It wasn’t surprising.

But he never harbored a fluke that he wouldn’t be discovered.

After all, even if discovered, he is of some use and there is no immediate danger to his life.

Just like the situation he is in now.

The Silver Moon Leader looked at Leonard Churchill and acknowledged: “You are smarter than I initially thought. But since you had already guessed that I would use this place to my advantage, why did you bring the Corpse-Wrapping Cloth in?”                    ^S

Leonard Churchill, half honestly and half jokingly replied: “To save my life.” The contamination of the Angel’s Remains wasn’t something he, a mere, Second Tier card master could withstand. Carrying the Corpse-Wrapping Cloth with him provided additional protection.

And there was one more thing.

Regardless of whether he brought it or not, it would all end the same.

No matter whether the issue with the Corpse-Wrapping Cloth was discovered early or not, once the domain of time-reversal was broken, this Silver Moon Leader would definitely come.

Why not put the initiative in his own hands?

At least it was clear where she would appear.

And based on this, Leonard Churchill was able to decide to leave a trail of clues along the way, allowing Reuel Bible and the other members of the X Bureau to come!

During the short duration of this conversation, the Silver Moon Leader seems to have figured something out.

She had no intention of arguing with Leonard Churchill, a sudden flash of moonlight around her and she headed towards the statue of the Ancient God! However, at this moment a figure brimming with Killing Intent entered from a not too distant entrance. It was none other than Reuel Bible!

He wasn’t alone, a number of strong X Bureau agents were following him. Seeing this, Leonard Churchill breathed a sigh of relief: “Made it in time…” Drawing out the conversation to delay a little while was well worthwhile. Handling contamination is X Bureau’s job. The situation in this ruin was so serious, he was sure that Reuel Bible and his men would definitely be the first to enter.

The moment these few people arrived, they immediately engaged in combat with the Silver Moon Leader.

The Underground Palace, being sturdy, was lucky. Otherwise, the fierce battle involving these high-tier card masters would bring about a collapse in minutes.

Leonard Churchill wasn’t even interested in watching such a fight.

However, just as he was planning to find a place to hide and wait for victory to be determined, he suddenly noticed a cloaked figure casually walking in from outside.

This person paid no attention to the ongoing fight and walked straight towards the stone tablet.

“One of the Thirteen Knights?”

Gazing at the style of the cloak, Leonard Churchill immediately thought about the description in the arrest warrant.

Although he had never seen the patterns, this style of cloak, and the leisurely gait of the figure implied that it probably was.

That said, Camilla is now part of this organization too, right?”

Leonard Churchill didn’t hold a negative impression towards the Thirteen Knights.

Although he didn’t understand why the figure was here, he didn’t consider him to be an enemy.

He watched as the figure walked straight up to the tablet, in the same manner as Elder Clinton and the other two, and began to study it.

And while observing, the figure even took out a small notebook and began to make notes.

This piqued Leonard Churchill’s curiosity further, wondering what exactly was written on the tablet.

The situation inside the Underground Palace had become somewhat strange. While Reuel Bible and his men were in heated combat with the Silver Moon Leader, the others were quietly studying the contents of the tablet.

It seemed like the parties were unrelated, each doing their own thing.

Maybe he should take another look?

However, he didn’t have to wait too long before the situation took another unexpected turn.

At that moment, four more cloaked figures entered the Underground Palace. Leonard Churchill was at a loss about where these four cloaked figures came from.

After they arrived, they didn’t get involved in anything, opting to stand at a distance and observe the fight. Was it their intention to seize an opportune moment?

“From the Lionheart Family? The White Family? Or the Miller Family?” Leonard Churchill considered various possibilities, all seem to be incorrect.

If it was any of these families, there was no need for them to hide.

Plus, they were merely observing the fight.

But considering the composed posture of these cloaked figures, they were clearly top-tier experts.

Feeling the twitch in his eyelids, Churchill was already considering retreating.

He does love a spectacle.

But a spectacle of this magnitude was beyond what he could handle.

If the mystery figures holding back are not taken into account, the current situation was becoming clearer.

The Silver Moon Leader was being besieged, overwhelmed and seemed to have little chance of breaking the seal.

If it continues this way, most likely she would either be killed or driven away. However, just when Leonard Churchill was predicting how the fight would continue, another surprise occurred.

Inside the Underground Palace, some people were studying the tablet, while others were watching the fight.

Nobody noticed that at the site of the triangular array, a figure in a cloak suddenly appeared near the coffin.

Like it materialized out of nowhere, by the time the figure was noticed, he had already somehow pushed open the coffin shrouded in dark miasma.

As the coffin opened, an indescribable sense of horror instantly swept over the entire Underground Palace.

It was this feeling that made everyone notice the addition of another figure in the Underground Palace.

Upon seeing the cloaked figure quietly opening the coffin, Leonard Churchill gave a start, not knowing how to express what he felt and sarcastically remarked: “Another one? Is today a cloak wearer’s meet…”

Looking at the style of the cloak, and judging from the surprised expressions of the other cloaked figures, it was clear that they weren’t together.

But if it’s not the Silver Moon Sect, not the Thirteenth Knight, and not the mysterious group of four… who could it be?

And how did he manage to open the coffin?

The astonished crowd wasn’t only composed of Leonard Churchill.

Upon seeing this sudden development, all parties reacted differently.

The Silver Moon Leader was delighted!

The members of X Bureau looked perturbed!

The group of four seemed confused!

The individual from the Thirteen Knights continued to appear unfazed…

But everyone shared the same question.

Who was this person?

And what did he want?
