Playing cards, I am your ancestor!-Chapter 336: Saving Zheng Xun
Spirit Card Masters are in the city, restricted too much, easily forgetting the inherent dangers that come with being human.
That is, firearms and Spirit Card Masters are ultimately mere mortals.
This auction house also has equipment to suppress Spirit Card Master cards.
If this bomb goes off, most of the Spirit Card Masters at the scene will be done for.
However, the auction house isn’t without countermeasures.
S Rank Spirit Card Masters have their own means of spirit fusion, they don’t need to summon card spirits to borrow their power.
As soon as the two bombs hit the ground, they were controlled and flung away.
There was no explosion, but the scene still caused chaos.
Some buyers, whose identities are sensitive, didn’t hesitate to turn around and leave upon seeing the commotion.
And throwing the bombs was just an appetizer.
A few masked people suddenly rushed out from the crowd, directly stabbing defenseless Spirit Card Masters with knives.
The method was simple and crude, but very effective.
Most at the scene were still A-Level Spirit Card Masters, who didn’t have spirit fusion capabilities; without cards, they were just a bit sharper in their senses than ordinary people. This kind of situation, with everyone crowded together and knives involved, was really hard to defend against.
"Ah!!!"
A wail and scream from Spirit Card Masters resounded in the crowd.
Some people instinctively summoned their cards.
Who cares about the prohibition of summoning card spirits in the city now that assassinations are right in their face?
The appearance of card spirits caused even greater chaos at the scene, and their gigantic size gave the ordinary people on the street outside an immense feeling of unease.
Ordinary people have no power to resist Spirit Card Masters, and for a while, screams pierced the sky.
Wen Jiang wasn’t panicked.
But as everyone was moving, she naturally prepared to turn and leave.
Karin in Ceylon City had seen chaotic scenes often, and also knew where these lunatics came from, so seeing Helena make a move meant she had to follow.
If she could take Helena away amidst this chaos, even better.
Unfortunately, that thought was too optimistic.
She saw Wen Jiang turn her head and look in another direction.
In the next moment, her figure vanished instantly.
Karin: "..."
She blinked, then blinked again.
Confirmed at last, Helena was gone.
Impossible.
The vision of a Spirit Card Master differs greatly from that of ordinary people.
But she was sure Helena had vanished in an instant.
What did Wen Jiang see?
She saw Zheng Xun being assassinated.
Moreover, two lunatics shouting about exterminating humanity were charging towards Zheng Xun.
They attacked from both the front and back.
Zheng Xun was a well-trained person, once part of the military, and wasn’t afraid of such chaos.
But as one person rushed towards him, they flung something at his face.
Smoke billowed, Zheng Xun immediately lost his sight, flailing his limbs in panic.
Someone picked up a knife and coolly slashed it towards Zheng Xun’s neck.
Others were just stabbing with knives; this one aiming to slash the neck, it was obvious they wanted Zheng Xun’s life.
Zheng Xun keenly sensed the danger.
As he instinctively tried to dodge, he suddenly felt a huge force suppressing him, then dizziness. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
When he blinked and opened his eyes, he saw a cold and freckled girl from Xi Zhou staring at him.
On the ground were two assassins rolling in pain.
The glaring sunlight indicated they had already left the underground auction house.
Zheng Xun looked at the girl in front of him, immediately assuming a defensive stance, and spoke in Holy Hall Language: "Who are you?"
Zheng Xun didn’t recognize Wen Jiang’s disguised identity; Hua Zhuo knew it’s better to say less to avoid mistakes, so before Wen Jiang contacted Zheng Xun proactively, Hua Zhuo hadn’t informed Zheng Xun of Wen Jiang’s true identity in Ceylon City.
Thus, Zheng Xun didn’t know who she was.
Wen Jiang wasn’t going to reveal herself directly, and simply put it: "I’m one of Wen Jiang’s people."
The fluent Yunxia Language startled Zheng Xun.
Although everyone had to learn the languages of the three Great Empires, the complex Yunxia Language was the most headache-inducing; foreigners rarely spoke Yunxia Language without any accent.
These words, that she is one of Wen Jiang’s people, surprised Zheng Xun.
"You’re one of the young master’s people?"
When Wen Jiang inherits the Jimo Family, she will officially be the family head.
Wen Jiang nodded, pointing to the two people on the ground: "Who are they? Why do they want to kill you?"
Zheng Xun looked at the two people on the ground, his eyes flashing with hatred: "They are members of the Anti-Harmony Association, their goal is to kill Spirit Card Masters and cause chaos in the Empire, because I’ve been investigating them, they’ve likely targeted me, and my whereabouts must have been exposed."
Anti-Harmony Association.
This organization Wen Jiang knew.
Also residing in Ceylon City, protected by Ceylon, a notorious Spirit Card Master organization.
Their purpose is to prevent humans and Spirit Card Masters from enjoying the same rights.
After the Great Catastrophe ended, many Spirit Card Masters believed humans should be one notch below Spirit Card Masters, but because the mainstream thought disagreed, when the three Great Empires were established, this group of people left the three Great Empires, setting up their own bases.
They massacre Spirit Card Masters who don’t cooperate with them.
Currently, they are not targeting ordinary people because the Empire’s Spirit Card Masters are their main enemies; they want to first kill these Spirit Card Masters who dominate the mainstream forces of the Empire.
Once the three Great Empires fall into chaos, the remaining ordinary people won’t be a concern.
Sadly, the dream is full, but reality is bare.
There’s nothing running neck and neck; they’ve been beaten back by Empire forces, becoming weaker and weaker, lurking near the Ceylon Cemetery, occasionally coming out to stir up trouble and disgust people.
They are no longer just brazenly opposing equality, but are intertwined with the forces behind Ceylon City like a chaotic mix.
The reason they haven’t completely disappeared is that some people in the open still need them as pawns.
For example, assassinating top-level Spirit Card Masters from other countries can be entirely blamed on this so-called Anti-Harmony Association.
Zheng Xun suspects that Jimo Xiao’s death was due to collusion between people from other Empires and the Anti-Harmony Association.
It even involves internal traitors.
Hearing this, Wen Jiang understood what was going on.
In that case, she straightforwardly cast a soul-searching spell on the two people on the ground.
Seeing Wen Jiang’s action, Zheng Xun was stunned.
"You say you’re one of the young master’s people, did she arrange for you to come to the Sanctuary?"
And looking at her, she seems like a pure Xi Zhou person, yet someone like that could be turned to become a Yunxia spy?
You must know Xi Zhou’s discrimination against Yunxia is deeply rooted.
This is still an A-Rank Spirit Card Master.
Wen Jiang ignored him.
She didn’t leave much power in this body, since if something happened and this body lost its power, it would be truly gone.
But she almost has no opponents at the A level.
Thus, using the Soul Searching Technique in this body was more cumbersome than with her main body, and the opponents were two A-Level Spirit Card Masters.
This resulted in the soul search revealing fragmented and blurry memories, and the immense pain caused the two to faint before enduring much longer.
"Anti-Harmony Association..."
She murmured this name.
Both were small fry, indeed sent to kill Zheng Xun on orders.
But why exactly, they couldn’t know.
Moreover, from the blurry memories, she caught a slightly familiar figure.
But the view was too unclear to make an exact determination.
