After a momentary pause, Aemon continued, his voice filled with urgency, “Moreover, they have been achieving victory after
victory recently and they are on the verge of a breakthrough. If we don’t eliminate them, we’ll face even greater troubles in the
future! My Lord, this crisis is unlike anything we’ve faced before. We can’t afford to hesitate any longer!”
Morgana fell into a momentary silence. Aemon’s words had struck a chord, stirring anxiety and apprehension within her. She
knew that his concerns held merit. If she allowed the opposing faction to continue growing in secrecy, they would pose a
significant threat to her own future.
With a determined grit of her teeth, she spoke, “Notify the Chinese military’s governor’s office immediately. Ask them to dispatch
their top scouts to Aurous Hill via plane for investigation! Within a hundred meters of the explosion site, once dawn breaks
tomorrow, as long as they fly over Willow Estates, they should be able to locate the exact spot of the explosion!”
“If it is confirmed that Gideon has perished in the explosion, I will allow the three elders to intervene. They will go to Aurous Hill
and work together to track down that person. We will tear their bodies into pieces and ensure they never pose a threat again!”

On the other side.
The helicopter piloted by Maria was now directly above the epicenter of the explosion. Since Anne had already taken the
Remodeling Pill, he could hardly move his body. Thus, Maria took the reins, activating the helicopter’s searchlights as it flew low
over the entire valley, nose tilted downward, carefully surveying the area below.
Meanwhile, Anne was experiencing the profound healing and regeneration of his bones, organs, muscles and meridians. Luckily,
his injuries weren’t as severe as Jack’s were back then, so the
recovery process was much quicker.
At the same time, Zeba found herself nestled within a natural crevice, seeking temporary refuge after enduring significant
injuries. Her meridians, dantian and internal organs were severely damaged. She had managed to find solace under a boulder,
taking shelter there after enduring great hardship.
Originally, her plan was to hide there, recover for a few days and then find a way to leave. In her estimation, even though Anne
had seen her at the moment of the explosion, the power of Gideon’s self-destruction was so immense that Anne was likely
doomed.
Therefore, she concluded that no one on the other side knew of her existence, allowing her to heal her wounds in peace.
However, she never expected that just as she began to entertain such wishful thinking, another helicopter appeared. It circled the
valley as if searching for something. She wondered to herself, “Could it be that those people couldn’t find Anne and refused to
give up, so they returned?”
With that thought, a sense of relief washed over her. She whispered to herself, “As long as they don’t come for me!”
Then, she suddenly thought of the British Lord and internally exclaimed, “Today, Gideon blew himself up and I vanished along
with him. The Lord will surely investigate thoroughly and I must ensure she doesn’t discover I’m still alive!”
She then retrieved her mobile phone. The phone was in complete disarray, deformed and battered. Even the battery had swollen
due to the impact. Seeing this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, believing it impossible for the phone to continue transmitting
her location to her.
Approximately ten minutes later, Anne fully recovered from the effects of the Remodeling Pill. He stretched his neck and
vigorously extended his body within the confined cabin. No longer did he
resemble a severely injured and feeble individual.
Maria, astounded, exclaimed, “My Lord, have you recovered?”
Anne nodded and replied, “My body has healed, but my reiki is still lacking.”
He then took out two more Regeneration Pills and placed them into his mouth. As the elixir entered his abdomen, it transformed
into pure reiki, coursing through his entire body via the restored meridians and dantian.
Anne felt the surge of aura returning, filling him with indescribable comfort.
Beside him, Maria sensed his body brimming with reiki once again and exclaimed in surprise, “It seems the Young Master has
fully recovered!”
Anne nodded slightly and couldn’t help but sigh, “My body has indeed recovered, but the ring’s needs are still present. It requires
an abundance of reiki, so this can only be addressed gradually. Miss Clark, did you find anything in this valley?”
“If she is still alive with a high probability. Moreover, as we flew at low altitude, the strong wind from the helicopter could displace
vegetation. Considering her severe injuries, it is highly unlikely that she climbed out of the mountains herself. There is a high
probability she is hiding at the base of the surrounding mountains. We should descend and conduct a thorough search.”
Anne nodded, expressing his agreement, “Miss Clark’s theory is quite reasonable. In that case, please lower the helicopter’s
altitude as much as possible to the mountain’s base and I will utilize my reiki to investigate.”
“Alright!” Maria immediately reduced the helicopter’s altitude to the lowest level, almost grazing the treetops as it slowly flew
toward the mountain’s base.
Anne released his aura, utilizing it to perceive the whereabouts of Zeba.
Meanwhile, Zeba found herself at the far end of the valley. Observing the helicopter not only refusing to depart but instead
lowering its altitude, gradually approaching her position along the mountain’s base, her heart raced in her chest.
She was acutely aware of her current predicament. If discovered, she didn’t need an expert to end her life. Even a ten-year-old
child could effortlessly accomplish the task. Furthermore, she knew that falling into the hands of the Evans family would only
result in a more tragic fate.
The Warriors Den had already killed Lily and her husband Bruce of the Evans family twenty years ago, embedding a hidden
thread within the Evans family for two decades. They had even made two attempts to annihilate the Evans family. Moreover, Lily
and Bruce’s son, Anne Wade, fell victim to Gideon’s self-destruction earlier that day. At this moment, the Evans family regarded
the Warriors Den as a mortal enemy among mortal enemies!
Nervous and strained, she exerted every ounce of effort to conceal herself deeper, hoping the boulder’s cover would shield her
from detection by the opposing helicopter. She believed that the other party consisted of ordinary individuals unaware of the
existence of aura. She concluded that they were merely searching for Ludwig, paying no attention to anyone hiding beneath the
boulder.
Little did she know that Anne had discovered her location not through sight but through his heightened perception of aura.
As Maria guided the helicopter, diligently searching along the mountain’s base, Anne’s expression suddenly froze. He
immediately pointed to a dark area on the left and said to Maria, “Over there!”
