Chapter 5423

In the depths of an uninhabited South American island, a breathtaking sight unfolded, the land, once a
tropical paradise, was now enveloped in a pristine blanket of ice and snow. Morgana Mirren, a
formidable leader, guided Aemon through the vast underground structure hidden beneath the island’s
surface.

Together, they ventured deeper into the labyrinthine building, until they reached the heart of it all.
There, nestled among the rocks, lay a chamber sealed off from the outside world, with a single
ventilation pipe acting as the sole connection to the Three Elders of the Warriors Den who sought
refuge within.

It was fascinating to realize that, unbeknownst to them, these three elders had journeyed across
continents, tracing the footsteps of the Warriors Den Society.

From the ancient lands of China, through the sprawling expanses of Australia, they had finally arrived
in South America. Throughout this odyssey, they had severed all ties with the outside world, their
bodies cocooned in a shroud of aura, reducing their metabolism to a near standstill.

Time slipped away from them, their isolation rendering them oblivious to the passage of years. The
purity of their beings grew, fueled by relentless attacks on the Soul Palace as they aimed to unlock its
secrets.

As Morgana entered the chamber, she beheld three emaciated figures resembling skeletal mummies.
Yet, she sensed an immense and untapped power concealed within their withered frames.

They stood on the cusp of a breakthrough, mere steps away from entering the realm of the Soul
Palace. One among them had made astonishing progress, with no more than a decade of cultivation
remaining before reaching this coveted realm.



Regret laced Morgana’s voice as she spoke, “If only you could endure another ten or twenty years, my
dear Elders. At that point, not only would you have shattered the barriers of the Soul Palace, but the
entire world would bear witness to the Warriors Den’s dominance. Alas, I must awaken you
prematurely, that you may aid me in eradicating a formidable hidden enemy lurking in the shadows.”

With a gathering of reiki at her fingertips, Morgana directed her intentions towards the three Elders,
silently manipulating the energy that surged forth.

Swiftly, the currents of reiki inundated their frail and waxen bodies, breathing life into them like the
Rejuvenation of a withered tree in the vernal embrace of spring.

After the passing of an incense stick’s worth of time, the eldest of the trio, appearing to be in his fifties,
stirred awake. He glanced at himself before fixing his gaze upon Morgana, disappointment fleeting
across his features. However, that fleeting pang of dissatisfaction dissipated in an instant, replaced by
an unhesitating rise to his feet.

Bowing reverently, he exclaimed, “Your servant, Balin, pays homage to you Lady Morgana!”

The remaining two Elders also opened their eyes, disappointment flitting through their gazes as well.
After a moment’s pause, witnessing Balin’s obeisance, they too knelt.

“Your servant, Talix, pays homage to you!”

“Your servant, Varis, pays homage to you!”

Observing the flicker of disappointment in their awakening eyes, Morgana couldn’t help but remark,
“You have all endured a great tribulation during your seclusion of a hundred years.”

“A hundred years?” The three Elders exchanged incredulous glances, stunned by the realization that
they had withdrawn from the world for such a vast span of time.



Moreover, they had not anticipated that their century-long retreat would still leave them short of
breaching the formidable barriers guarding the Soul Palace.

Most unexpectedly of all, their imminent breakthrough was disrupted by the master of the Warrior’s Den
untimely awakening.

Though disheartened, the Elders dared not reveal their internal struggles in Morgana’s presence. After
all, they were descendants of the Mirren family, descendants whom Morgana herself had inducted into
the path of martial arts.

While it was unfortunate that their retreat had not culminated in the shattering of the Soul Palace, their
wait for another decade or two was but a fleeting span in the grand tapestry of time.

Thus, Balin respectfully spoke, “My Lady, you have awakened the three of us from our retreat. We
presume that you have entrusted us with a momentous task. It is an honor for us to bear your burdens.
We pledge our lives to your service!”

The other two Elders echoed in unison, “We pledge our lives to you, Lady Morgana!”

Morgana found solace in their unwavering loyalty, deeming it a satisfactory response. She had
imparted the teachings of the Soul Palace to them, albeit with certain omissions. Even though their
seclusion had spanned a century, their final breakthrough would have been impossible without
Morgana’s recent interventions.

Without her guidance, they would remain forever halted, despite standing on the precipice of the Soul
Palace. Yet, at this moment, the Elders remained blissfully unaware of their dependence on Morgana.

Thus, in Morgana’s eyes, it was crucial that their allegiance to her orders eclipsed their devotion to
cultivation. She couldn’t afford to unleash three unbridled forces once they transcended the barriers of
the Soul Palace.



Addressing the Elders, Morgana spoke, “We are about to face formidable adversaries within the
Warriors Den. Since your retreat, Three of the Four Marshals I trained have perished and we have yet
to ascertain the identities of our enemies.”

“Three!” The Elders exchanged grave glances, comprehending the imminent challenges that awaited
them within the Warriors Den. While they had expected obstacles in dismantling the Warriors Den, the
extent of the forthcoming trials surpassed their earlier estimates.

Without hesitation, Balin declared, “My Lord, the three of us willingly shoulder your burdens.”

Morgana nodded approvingly and stated, “Time is of the essence. Follow Aemon’s lead and make
preparations. Within an hour, a plane will transport you to Aurous Hill.”

She turned her attention to Aemon, gesturing towards the Elders and introduced, “Allow me to present
Aemon, the eldest son of Alaric.”

The Elders, taken aback by the revelation, were consumed by astonishment. Alaric Mirren stood as
their eldest nephew and the premier descendant of the Mirren family’s generation.

Through the ages, Morgana herself had personally nurtured the offspring of the Mirren lineage. It was
inconceivable to them that the nephew’s son had already reached the twilight of his life.

Aemon, recognizing their surprise, paid his respects with utmost reverence. “Aemon, grandson of the
Mirren family, humbly greets the three elders.”

Aware of their seclusion for a century, disconnected from the world’s current state, the Elders
recognized the importance of forging a bond with Aemon. Inevitably, they would require his assistance
in the future, a realization that tempered their manners and encouraged a more amiable and respectful
approach.



After exchanging pleasantries, Morgana interjected, “We are all one family. We can reminisce later. For
now, the three of you must make your preparations under Aemon’s guidance. The journey will consume
at least twenty hours, during which Aemon will enlighten you regarding the world’s current state.”

Morgana turned to Aemon and inquired, “Aemon, can the Elders travel directly to Aurous Hill via
plane?”

Aemon replied promptly, “My Lord, I have meticulously altered the Elder’s identity records every twenty
years. I possess the latest version of their passports. Rest assured, they shall encounter no hindrance
when entering the country.”

“Very well!” Morgana’s countenance darkened as she issued a chilling command. “Hasten your
departure! Once you reach Aurous Hill, eliminate not only the Evans family but also any suspected
adversaries! Leave no future threats alive!”

In unison, the four responded, “We obey your commands, My Lord!”
