I was right; the new purple lightning method appeared to have more Chapters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new lightning bolt rune was thicker than before. I believed the continuous practice would lead to a breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After coming out of the Golden Lightning Palace, I started walking back towards the residence on foot. I didn’t come across any members; they had left early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Austin was not there, either. Otherwise, I would have met him already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, I arrived at the residence. Just before I could open the door, I sensed someone appear behind me. It immediately alerted my senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned around and saw the person was none other than the Elder, the Purple Mark Guard. Upon seeing him, I was surprised, because he would not come here for no reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Mark Guard saw Zack was covered in the Silver Mark Warrior aura. He smiled and said, \"The Dean wants to see you. Come with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right now?\" I uttered in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" the Purple Mark Guard said before grabbing my shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, I disappeared from the spot. I found myself being taken away by force; we were traveling to the Dean’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t take long for us to appear at the Dean’s office. To my surprise, Dean Jerome was still there. We walked into the room, and I saw him seated at the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jerome’s gaze fell on me. I had made him wait for so long, but he didn’t seem offended. He seemed glad that I was still practicing continuously after the breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t pry into my condition right now; he wanted to talk about the mission right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kid, you must be curious about the operation in Star City,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, my eyes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Dean,\" I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Mark Guard remained calm and collected, but he perked up his ears to listen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I used your name to lure out the spies...\" Jerome started explaining the special operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, my expression was calm, but it changed as the seconds went by. My heart was shaken to the core. I didn’t know I had been the bait the whole time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, I recalled the appearance of Morton Redford and two Gold Mark Warriors. I remembered there were warriors going from shop to shop for some purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, I understand the whole thing. No wonder Leader Francesca had warned me not to leave the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have captured all the Purple Mark Level Spies...\" Jerome continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My heart set off storms again. I had been so close to meeting the Purple Mark Warriors. If I had come across them, it would have meant certain death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, Dean Jerome finished saying everything. He then started observing my reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Mark Guard saw Zack was rather composed. He was surprised; if it were others, they would have shown some emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, my turbulent heart calmed down. There was nothing shocking left to hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next time, if they said a Faction Leader came to take my life, I wouldn’t be surprised, because I had heard all the shocking information just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m glad the spies were all arrested and are now imprisoned,\" I said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not all the spies,\" Dean Jerome said, dropping shocking information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" I uttered in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Mark Guard’s eyes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, we have wiped out the spy nest in the city. But what about the places outside the city? I suspect there are networks in other cities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For so long, I didn’t mind their presence. But the time has come to remove them,\" he said in a serious tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, my expression turned serious. I had never paid attention to the territory outside Star City. I had only visited one or two cities previously for missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have decided to send you as a special envoy to these cities to lure out the spies. The Purple Mark Guard will be protecting you in secret.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If any Purple Mark or Gold Mark Warriors target you, he will take care of them. But you have to deal with the rest of them,\" Dean Jerome said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t know how many times my heart had ups and downs. It was yet another piece of shocking news. If I became an envoy, it would be an open invitation for the spies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would try to target me. The Dean wanted to use the hands of the Purple Mark Guard to remove them. I was just being used as bait again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s time for you to face some challenges. You can’t always be under our protection,\" Dean Jerome said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I felt something strike my mind. Dean Jerome was right. Ever since I came to the Tier-4 Region, I had only done one or two outer missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was nothing compared to other warriors. The disciples of the main elders were still outside doing missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had come across a few of their disciples some time ago. But before I could sort out my problems, I heard they had left for a mission once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn’t be helped. I needed to improve myself. If I couldn’t go to the warrior camps, I had to complete the outside missions at least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, I turned towards Dean Jerome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will do it,\" I said to him. I had no hesitation whatsoever. I could handle the Silver Mark and Gold Mark Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as I didn’t come across a Purple Mark Warrior, everything would be fine. Even if someone appeared, the Elder would take care of the person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean Jerome observed me. He noticed that I had no hesitation, and he was satisfied with the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then turned towards the Purple Mark Guard and told him to protect me at all times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we came across any spies, we needed to first notify the people here so they could send backup. Then, we could take action together.\u003C\u002Fp>",1018,"2026-06-05T15:57:19.580Z",1,"novelbin.me","ea96af0e4239c6edcfaa6d1aa3f2858504c684aeba9b896b8a8de5db51faa191","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1350","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1348",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
