My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 603 - 531: Black Robe Organization

The host of the gathering was Marquis Henry, an old and Senior Transcendent.

At a Transcendent’s gathering, sometimes a few words could decide major matters, but more often than not, it was just a series of valueless conversations. Not all Transcendents had amicable relationships.

"Your granddaughter has reached the age for considering marriage. How about it, would you consider my second son? He possesses the strength of Awakening Tier Great Perfection."

"Get lost, your second son is almost a hundred years old; have some sense in your mind!"

"A few days ago, my son came to visit, but he was turned away at the door. What, have you gone into seclusion recently? Marquis Turner as well."

"Not just that, Marquis Borden’s Mansion, Marquis Bell Mansion, and Marquis Shelley Mansion have all closed their doors lately. I thought you might not receive the invitation to this gathering. Is there some unspeakable secret?"

"Is Marquis Shelley doing well lately? He was always the most eager to attend such gatherings before."

The average Transcendent who was asked fumbled with his words.

He already held a low status within the mansion, and now surrounded by mostly Senior Transcendents, the faint traces of aura they unintentionally emitted made the Transcendent from Marquis Shelley Mansion feel apprehensive, just like an ordinary person among a pack of wolves.

"The Marquis, Lord Marquis has recently been in retreat."

"That’s not right. A few days ago, he invited me for a drink. I just didn’t go. Besides, is a retreat more important than a gathering?"

"Well... the Marquis’s retreat this time is quite significant, and it’s, it’s not good to disturb him."

Transcendents chatted in groups of two or three,

At this point, Marquis Henry, who sat at the head table, suddenly spoke up, "Marquis Shelley, he probably won’t be able to make it."

"What, what are you talking about?" The heart of the average Transcendent leaped.

"Marquis Bell, Marquis Page, probably the same situation, right?"

His gaze swept across them, and he said in a deep voice, "I think it’s better to be frank. I believe that those who have had such experiences are not just a few individuals."

As the words fell,

Some had expressionless faces, some showed slight changes in complexion, some looked around nervously...

As nobles, what they valued most was the history and honor of their family.

Being invaded by unknown enemies, as if their mansions were undefended, was something nobody wanted to admit.

Beyond the matter of face, they were more worried that others would perceive the weakness of their family.

Everyone was secretly observing each other.

After a pause, Marquis Henry spoke again, "This gathering has a small guest list. Since you don’t wish to reveal anything, then let me start.

Yes, just yesterday, two individuals in black robes broke into my mansion. Their strength was terrifying, and moreover, they did not match any of the known Transcendents of the Royal Capital!

I’ll leave it at that. If you’re willing to be open, we can continue discussing. If not, then you are free to leave. However, I am very confident in certain aspects of inviting you all here."

A few Transcendents exchanged looks.

After a brief observation, many became more convinced.

Perhaps, the experiences of their own families were not unique, and the others present might well be brothers in misfortune.

It would be a joke to say they didn’t resent those mysterious people who plundered their family treasuries.

After a few minutes of silence,

it was Marquis Borden who spoke first, "Indeed, five days ago, I encountered the same situation. Although we fought those two mysterious individuals for some time, we were ultimately no match for them, and they made off with quite a few of our things."

As his words ended, the other Transcendents finally relaxed their vigilance and began to speak in turn.

"It’s the same with us; we were attacked by those mysterious people the day before yesterday. Those two really were strong, and even with our numbers, we still came up short and suffered significant losses."

"Sigh, our mansion was guarded by a great formation, but those two were too slippery. They refused to engage us directly, raided one of our treasuries, and then disappeared without a trace..."

"We also encountered those mysterious individuals. Despite our best efforts, we managed to wound one of them, but they had already infiltrated the mansion and stolen some treasures before that, and we couldn’t keep them..."

"..."

"Eh? Are you all that strong?"

An honest Transcendent stared blankly at those around him. freewebnøvel_com

Aren’t all our powers more or less equal? Their Clan Leader was overthrown by the people in black robes with just three moves, so how come other families could battle these black-robed individuals on equal footing, even wounding such formidable enemies?

Could it be that his own family had become so complacent that they grew weak?

Marquis Borden kept a poker face, but he scoffed inwardly.

"Heh heh,"

"Blowing their own trumpets to the sky!"

"Why not say you repelled the Black Robes yourself!"

"And wounded a Black Robe? He looked toward the ordinary Transcendent who was speaking; their family must have had its Clan Leader wiped out already."

"Cough cough!"

Marquis Henry interrupted the others, "The purpose of gathering you here is to clarify the strength of these mysterious figures and devise proper countermeasures. Therefore, I hope everyone will share information truthfully. Anyone caught exaggerating..."

A cold light flashed in his eyes as a formidable aura radiated out.

The three ordinary Transcendents shrank their necks, and the other boastful Transcendents also shut their mouths.

To offend Marquis Henry was not a good idea, especially when their family’s power was diminished.

Telling the truth wouldn’t matter much; after all, he wouldn’t be the only one losing face.

"The two Black Robes we encountered, one tall and one short, were both only acted upon by the taller one. He is adept in the Sword Dao, with sword Qi that is incredibly fierce. In a normal fight, I’m afraid I wouldn’t last more than three moves."

A Senior Transcendent spoke. He was actually severely injured in one move, but even telling the truth deserved some embellishment. Fearing that others would notice something was off, he didn’t pause and continued, "Later, when we activated the grand array and our strength surged, even with the domain power of the array suppressing the other side, guess what happened?"

"The dual-sword-wielding Black Robe also unfolded his domain, right?" another Senior Transcendent said, "Despite our vastly increased aura, which was stronger than the mysterious one’s, we were still utterly crushed by his Sword Domain."

Out of the ten people at the gathering, three families had encountered the duo of Kong and Xiaoli.

It was mostly Kong who took action, using it as practice for his Sword Dao.

However, the other Transcendents began to have their doubts.

"Wait a minute, aren’t those two Black Robes roughly the same size, and weren’t they using firearms?"

"That’s not right, those two were clearly women. You can’t even tell men from women?"

"By their presence, the Black Robes are clearly Senior Transcendents like us, right? How could they be so much stronger? They haven’t Awakened, have they?!"

"Not only formidable, but their entire bodies are clad in Transcendent Divine Weapons! Combat Uniforms, weapons, Black Robes, I suspect even their sunglasses and masks are Divine Weapons. No matter how fierce the battle, I’ve never seen their masks destroyed."

After sharing information, even Marquis Henry, the organizer who thought he held the most knowledge, was utterly astonished.

Suddenly emerging strong individuals, originally thought just a couple existed.

But there were six!

Moreover, two of them had barely made a move!

Perhaps,

There were more Black Robes out there, they just hadn’t encountered them yet!

"Where on earth did they come from, and what is their purpose!"

"We must clarify the identities of these mysterious individuals. I can’t stand to be on edge any longer!"

"My guess is, they’re probably not from the Royal Capital, which would explain this sudden appearance!"

"Not possible, the outside world is probably just left with those Monsters. Besides, where else other than our Royal Capital could such experts emerge?!"

"I have heard a scandal about the Royal Family, it seemed that some members split off and left the Royal Capital years ago... You mustn’t spread this around."

"No matter what, we need a way to deal with these mysterious individuals. We can’t allow them to just barge into our estates at will!"

In the midst of intense discussions, they also came up with some feasible strategies.

Marquis Henry suggested, "I think we should assign code names to each of these mysterious individuals, to facilitate our analysis and understanding of this secretive organization. We can’t continue to simply call them ’mysterious individuals.’"

Finally,

Shay, often seen with a cigarette, was codenamed "Smoker."

Kong, who possessed the Sword Domain, was codenamed "Swordsman."

Fani, who wore a wolf mask, was codenamed "Wolf Girl."

Lorraine’s code name, "Gunman."

Grey Blade’s code name, "Shadow."

Xiaoli, who hadn’t taken much action due to his shorter stature, was codenamed "Dwarf."

And since the mysterious individuals all appeared wearing black robes, through a unanimous vote, Marquis Henry named the group...

"The Black Robe Organization!"
