Chapter 1648: Chapter 500 Ambushing the Nether Peacock? No, Ambushing the Saint Heir! Chapter 1648: Chapter 500 Ambushing the Nether Peacock? No, Ambushing the Saint Heir! Moreover, the Last Great Priest of Taren Will Smith also said that this senior predecessor is a blessing rather than a curse for the Card Master Civilization.

Thus, intuition told Leonard Churchill that this cooperation is feasible.

And to know the true reason behind everything, they must go down and take a look.

Thinking this, Leonard Churchill nodded and said, “Mm. I understand. Thank you for your information, Madam.”

Madam Mister always felt that Leonard’s deep dark eyes held too many thoughts and were too difficult for her to discern.

Without much thought, she asked, “So, you all are coming with me?”

She was curious to see what this sword-bearing woman could do that made the Prince think she could deal with the [Nether Peacock].

Leonard glanced at Sophia Jones; their eyes met for a split second and immediately made up their minds.

He then said, “Mm. Let’s go take a look together.”

The [Nether Peacock] was their intended target all along; it was the perfect opportunity to try netting it.

Madam Mister thought she’d need to talk more, but Leonard and the others were quite agreeable. Completing the Prince’s task, she relaxed and asked, “Great; when do we depart?”

Leonard replied, “We can leave right now.”

They had been observing from the rock wall for several days already, just waiting for the opportunity.

He hadn’t expected the chance to come this way.

…

With Madam Mister leading the way, Leonard and his group no longer worried about getting lost in unfamiliar routes on the rock wall, attracting terrifying monsters with their random wandering.

The group circumvented the Holy Church’s camp and stealthily moved along a hidden crevice on the rock wall, safely jumping down into the Flame Thorns Tree forest.

The ground was covered with thick layers of fiery red leaves, surrounded by towering trees that emitted a molten-like dark red luminescence, densely packed without end in sight.

Only standing in the forest did they truly appreciate its vastness.

Even with the Holy Church deploying hundred times more personnel, it would be impossible to explore in a few years.

Given that this fifteenth layer had already claimed many large Mercenary Groups and was inhabited by Ninth Rank monsters, the cadre of the Revolutionary Army remained very optimistic.

Looking at those trees covered in a deathly aura, they envisioned mounds of gold coins.

“My, some of these trees must be thousands of years old, right?”

“Without people cutting them down, of course they’d grow old.”

“Heh heh, these Flame Thorns Trees are top-notch materials. If we took them to market, wouldn’t they be worth at least one hundred thousand gold coins?… If not for the situation not allowing, I’d really consider working here as a lumberjack.”

“Let’s go; if you really were to cut a few of these down, there’d be no place to store them. And careful, you might disturb the forest’s creatures…”

“…”

Saying is one thing, jesting is another.

The cadre weren’t truly interested in chopping down these minor profits.

Following behind Madam Mister, everyone headed deeper into the Dense Forest.

As she said, this path was previously taken by the [Nether Peacock], ensuring that no stronger monsters would appear nearby for at least a short period.

And with the Vampire’s surveillance bats scattered throughout the forest, any anomalies would be immediately detected.

Leonard and Sophia walked in the center of the group.

Seeing Leonard ponderingly, Sophia asked, “What are you thinking about?”

Leonard had no reason to be distant with her and shared some of his unresolved thoughts, “I’m thinking about the Heavenly Dragon Saint’s [Curse God Card] which can change the rules, a fact unknown to the Light and Crimson Outer God Sects before. If I were him, I might have left some traces on the Light Saintess or perhaps on Madam Mister… If something unexpected happens, there would still be something to fall back on.”

Sophia immediately caught on, “So, you think we’re already exposed?”

“Mm. It’s a possibility.”

Leonard’s tone was relaxed as he added, “And it’s not a small one.”

Sophia raised an eyebrow, “Oh?”

Leonard continued, “Reuel Bible and Pope Polan came into conflict before, and he told me Pope Polan commands the legendary God Skill — [Great Omen Skill].”

…

Hearing this, Sophia’s expression turned serious.

Omen is not a Prophecy, but the [Great Omen Skill] is terrifying in its own right.

Since the skill of divination involves sensing necessity.

Nearly all tiers in the Fifty-two Demon God Sequence possess some form of crisis foresight ability.

Especially the tier that mastered both Kingship and Order, the [Plum Blossom K – Pope], is particularly adept.

The essence of the Order Law lies in some universal operational rules; a deep study naturally encompasses crisis understanding.

In simple terms, if he senses an outcome, it is bound to happen!

Whoever masters God Skills can almost sense any future events that could adversely affect them.

At the time, even Reuel wielding the Kingship Holy Sword couldn’t kill the Pope, largely due to this spell.

Seeing Sophia suddenly serious, Leonard knew she was overthinking, and chuckled, “It’s not that bad. Our actions aren’t significant enough for that Pope to take matters into his own hands. And even if he foresees something, it’s unlikely to change much…”

“Mm.”

Sophia knew, of course.

Although the Omen Skill doesn’t carry the heavy cost of Prophecy, it still consumes a lot of spirit.

The Pope couldn’t be concerned with everything,
Especially now, focusing more on the two Heresy Sects rather than a group of unrelated individuals.

That’s why Sophia was even more curious why Leonard would suddenly discuss this.

Catching her inquiring gaze, Leonard smiled and said, “The [Great Omen Skill] likely foresees that the Mirrored Space can’t eliminate the two Heresy Sects, but knowing it’s going to fail, why hasn’t the Pope appeared or made any corrective measures? So I was just wondering, what exactly are those card holders plotting…”
