Chapter 222 - Secret Operation

The threat of the Mu Guang Pavilion was gone, so the Nicholas family was active again. Everyone had thought so.

The Nicholas family still ignored the various chatter outside and did what they had to do.

In the past three months, the family business had been handed over to outsiders to manage. There had been some problems, and they all needed to be dealt with.

Three days later, Norton, Zoro, and the others, accompanied by Karuman, quietly left Winterfrost for the Calamity Mountain Range to train. The people on this trip were Norton, Zoro, Jimmy, Dick, and Karuman, who was leading the way.

The few of them left the city quietly and did not make a scene. The citizens of the city did not know, but some spies who had been secretly monitoring the Nicholas family clan had noticed.

Soon, someone had spread the news secretly, and some people started to act in secret.

Zoro and the others did not take the official route. Instead, they took the shortest route in the direction of the Calamity Mountain Range and advanced straight ahead.

Two days later, they were not far from the Calamity Mountain Range. Everywhere they went was a desolate wilderness.

As they walked, Norton suddenly said, “It’s about time to make a move.”

As he spoke, he looked at Dick beside him.

Dick’s eyes flickered with a meaningful glow. He nodded slightly and said, “It is indeed time to act.”

Zoro frowned slightly, as if he was concentrating on sensing.

Jimmy, on the other hand, looked a little grave and looked at the others helplessly. With their souls, they had not discovered any threat.

Karuman, who was walking at the back, narrowed his eyes. He had also sensed a hint of abnormality, but it was after Norton had spoken to Dick.

He looked at the group of Nicholas family members in front of him and could not help but smile bitterly. From this alone, he could tell that his level could only be in the middle of the line.

The few of them stopped in their tracks. Soon, even Jimmy and the others discovered the abnormality, but their expressions remained calm.

Two powerful pressures came from the left and behind respectively, no longer concealed.

Everyone looked over and saw two beams of light flying over. In a few seconds, they were in front of them. Two figures stopped in the air and looked down at them.

One was an old man in a black cloak, and the other was a white-haired old woman in a white cloak. The former was a level-6 Great Archmage, and the latter was a level-7 Great Archmage! The two of them looked down at the crowd below, their eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.

However, there was still a hint of doubt in the old woman’s eyes. She said coldly, “When did the Nicholas family cultivate such a strange magical power? I can’t even tell the level?”

The old man said calmly, “Ah, they’re just being mysterious. You strike, I’ll deal with Karuman.”

As he spoke, he looked at Karuman and mocked, “You’re Karuman, right? I’ve heard of you. Since you have become a loyal dog of the Nicholas family, you can only die with them today.”

Karuman did not say anything. He just looked at the two of them. The expression on his face seemed to be a little subtle, as if he was speechless, sighing, and sympathetic. The two in the air were a little baffled.

Dick turned to Norton, his eyes questioning.

Norton looked at the black-cloaked old man and said expressionlessly, “A hundred years ago, because of a treasure, he became enemies with an old ancestor of the Nicholas family clan. He was seriously injured by that old ancestor and bore a grudge. Sixty years ago, he colluded with a group of people to secretly harm several ancestors of the Nicholas family clan!”

Sixty years ago, when the Nicholas family clan was still in the Holy Light City, the few remaining top Great Archmagi ancestors had gone to a newly exposed high-energy cave abode to search for treasures in order to allow the declining Nicholas family clan to rise up again. Unexpectedly, they were plotted against by a group of people and suffered heavy casualties, causing the Nicholas family clan to fall completely ten years later.

Upon hearing Norton’s words, Masha, who was in the air, sneered even more. “Hehe, you actually recognize me? Then all of you can be enlightened ghosts.”

Norton looked at the old lady in the white cloak and frowned slightly. “I don’t know this person.”

The old woman’s face was as cold as frost. She said in a hoarse voice, “My ancestor’s name is Capron.”

Norton was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He pondered quickly, and then he looked enlightened. He looked at the old woman and said coldly, “So you’re the descendant of Capron. I didn’t expect this.”

Dick was not the only one who looked puzzled. Even Jimmy and the others looked puzzled because they had not heard of Capron.

Norton smiled sarcastically and said, “Capron was a cultivator killed by our Old Ancestor more than 500 years ago.”

Dick was enlightened and also a little surprised. Someone had actually come to take revenge on an old matter from more than 500 years ago.

However, this was actually not rare in the magical world. Not to mention 500 years, there would even be people seeking revenge a thousand years later.

Dick chuckled and said, “Even the descendants of the people killed by our Old Ancestor 500 years ago have appeared. Some people have really put in a lot of effort.”

They all knew that the appearance of these people was most likely related to the four large family clans of the Holy Light City.

Although the Mu Guang Pavilion had been settled, the four large family clans would definitely not let the matter rest. They would definitely continue to think of ways to prevent the rise of the Nicholas family clan.

One of the reasons why they had taken such a route this time was to fish. They had caught two big ones.

That Masha fellow was still on the Nicholas family’s list for settling scores. Even if he had not appeared, the Nicholas family would still look for him in the future.

As for the old woman in the white cloak, this was a surprise. It was not known how the four large family clans had found the descendants of the people killed by the Old Ancestor more than 500 years ago.

The calm reaction of the Nicholas family members made the two in the air wonder. They looked at each other subconsciously. A murderous glint flashed in Masha’s eyes, and he said, “Let’s fight!”

At the same time, on the ground, Dick looked at Norton and said, “Grandpa, let me do it.”

Norton smiled and said, “Who would ask a junior to intervene? Stand down and let Grandpa do it!”

Zoro added, “That’s right! The levels are just right. Let the two of us do it. All of you, stand down!”

Dick and the others, “…”

These two elders, who were in their sixties or seventies, actually looked a little excited at this moment, as if they were afraid that others would fight over them.

When the two people in the air heard their conversation, they could not help being stunned. Before they could think further, their expressions suddenly changed!!

This was because Norton and Zoro had erupted with a powerful aura that far exceeded their expectations!

Level-7 Great Archmage!

“What?!”

“How is this possible!!”

The two of them were extremely shocked. At the same time, Norton and Zoro had already flown up at the same time and attacked the two of them!
