Chapter 278
"Dao Master. A special infectious disease known as Soul Loss Syndrome has broken out at Xiaoliu's martial academy. Our investigations suggest an organization called the Mingxin Society is secretly spreading it. What are your thoughts?" Li Yuanyuan's voice reached Lin Hui through the Wind Chime.
"The Mingxin Society? What's their background?" Lin Hui withdrew his gaze and let his eyes fall shut.
"Unknown. The organization is incredibly secretive. Their very first move was to target the fringe descendants of the three great Trueblood Noble families. This has already drawn the Truebloods' attention, and investigations have been underway for some time," Li Yuanyuan replied.
"Going straight for the three great Trueblood Noble families from the start?" Lin Hui was taken aback. That took real nerve—the Mingxin Society clearly had solid backing.
After all, who would dare go straight for the Trueblood Noble families under the three great City Lords without the strength and backing to match?
"Dao Master, how should we respond?" Li Yuanyuan asked softly.
"Ignore them, as long as it doesn't involve us." He had a certain fondness for these shadowy factions that materialized from nowhere.
Much like the Purgatory Duke and the Extreme Cold Queen, who had been locked in fierce battles with the Federation for the past five years. The Duke's ability to grow stronger with every wound had cost many powerful Mistborn dearly.
Fortunately, neither side could truly kill the other. After three bitter years of war, both parties finally agreed to cede more than half of the Tuyue region to the spheres of influence of Purgatory and Extreme Cold Heaven.
