Chapter 1138 Party Disagreement
Emerald Hill.
This place was once a beautiful tourist spot in Morrian Plane.
Its soil contained an unusual mineral particle that would glow jade-green, blue, and many other different colors under sunlight. These colors would even shift and swirl under the moonlight, making it seem as if the earth was made up of pieces of gemstones that flowed like a liquid in the night.
That was how this place won the name of Emerald Hill!
However, the former beauty had now completely vanished. Emerald Hill was now a bald, empty hill. The rocky hillside had no soil or vegetation; its stone foundation was exposed to the air, cold and unfeeling beneath the moonlight.
A small campfire burned in a small camp at the top of the hill. Seven hooded figures huddled together, seemingly waiting for something.
It had been thirteen days since the Day of Ruination. Morrian Plane was becoming increasingly unstable, and more and more otherworldly creatures were appearing in higher frequency. Trying to find an undisrupted place under such conditions was extremely difficult.
The Dark Witches all had soul energy pools that could preserve their soulbrands. It allowed them to run about the battlefield brazenly, making their combat style incredibly barbaric and aggressive. Even if they died in the line of battle, they could revive through the soul energy pool and completely reforge an energy body.
It was what made the Dark Witches such difficult opponents!
However, if a Dark Witch ran into an enemy with an artifact, the enemy could undoubtedly use the higher-grade properties of the artifact to trap and exterminate their soul. It made sense for Greem to explain Shani’s death in this manner.
A scrawny old adept stood forth and demanded with a wicked smile on his face, “If even Witch Shani died in battle, how did the three of you escape alive? Could it be that all of you just cooped up somewhere safe without accomplishing your missions?”
“Indeed, that must be the cast. I knew this ragtag bunch was unreliable.” The other wounded adepts also started making a fuss and closed in on the three adepts threateningly.
“Hand over your mission crystals. I need to examine them!”
The leader also became suspicious of Greem and the two others when he heard the words of his companion. He demanded the mission crystals.
The mission crystals were an item passed down by their superiors before the group departed. They could record brief images of the party conducting their missions and were often kept by the party leader.
These items contained the aura of higher-grade adepts, and there were no ways of altering its contents. Therefore, it was the most direct evidence of a party accomplishing its mission.
Greem was shocked for a moment, and his expression turned dark.
“Examining mission crystals is something that should be done by our superiors. Are you not overstepping your bounds by making me hand over the mission crystal!?”
“Hmph! Who knows if you have finished your mission if you don’t hand over your mission crystal. I am the leader of this group as appointed by the Great Adepts. Everything I say here is of absolute authority. Now hand over your mission crystals!” The adept with the gold headband coldly replied.
Greem glared at him coldly for a brief moment before nodding his head slowly. He took out a magical crystal the size of a fist and passed it over.
Holly and the siblings hesitated for a moment before handing over their mission crystals as well.
The leader took the crystals. He first verified their authenticity before lifting them to his eyes and reaching in with his Spirit to examine the images within.
