Chapter 5641

Morgana exhaled, unleashing a surge of reiki that enveloped the entire airport. To her astonishment, she detected no trace of reiki other than her own. Her brow furrowed as she pondered, "Why is there no sign of reiki besides my own?" The Four Treasures of the Study, a mystical artifact crafted by skilled cultivators during the Tang Dynasty, would have been designed with a large number of formations and should have been able to be immediately detected with reiki. Yet, as Morgana's energy extended, it encountered an eerie silence, akin to a flame sweeping across a barren land, unable to ignite anything. A sinking feeling gripped Morgana's heart as she meticulously scanned every individual in the airport, hoping to find Eddie and Landon. Yet, despite her efforts, she found no trace of the two. Her mood instantly soured. With a grim expression, she muttered, "I went through all this trouble to come here, only to discover that it was a trap!" Aemon, standing beside her, felt a pang in his chest and urgently asked, "Master, why do you say that?!" Morgana clenched her fists and through gritted teeth, replied, "The things I seek are not here, and neither are Eddie and Landon." She continued, her anger rising, "If Eddie isn't on this plane, then he must be dead. Chartering this plane was not his intention; he was most likely coerced or controlled by someone. And their motive was to disrupt my plans and make me miss my target!" Aemon's eyes widened in shock as he blurted out, "Master, could this be a ploy to draw out the enemy?!" Morgana's expression darkened further as she ground her teeth, "Whether it's a ploy or not depends on whether they know I've come to the United States!" Contemplating the situation, Morgana turned to Aemon and queried, "If you were the mysterious person, and you had killed all four marshals, who in the Warriors Den would make you wary?" Aemon responded, "If I were that person and I had eliminated all four counts, the only person in the Warriors Den who would give me pause should be you." He continued, "As for the Three Elders, they have secluded themselves for a century. Although they briefly emerged from seclusion before, they swiftly returned to their base. Their activities are rarely known within the Warriors Den. It's possible the mysterious person isn't even aware of their existence. Moreover, with his strength, he likely has already opened the Soul Palace. The Three Elders are still one step away from achieving that, so even if he knows of them, he wouldn't fear them." Morgana's expression grew even grimmer as she clenched her teeth, "If the only person he's wary of is me, then perhaps he already knew I was coming. That's why he orchestrated this situation." Aemon respectfully added, "I don't believe he necessarily knew of your arrival. Having Eddie charter this plane was likely a ploy to confuse us, not specifically targeting your actions." Morgana's voice turned cold as ice, "You must thoroughly investigate and discover how news of my arrival in the United States was leaked. If anyone within our organization is responsible, regardless of who it is, they will be ruthlessly eliminated!" Aemon hurriedly replied, "My Lord, the only ones who should know of your arrival in the United States are myself and the crew members. However, I highly doubt the crew members would leak such information..." Morgana ground her teeth and declared, "It matters not. Kill all the crew members and replace them with a new group." Without hesitation, Aemon affirmed, "Understood!" He then inquired, "What shall we do next?" Morgana's voice turned chilling, "Let's return to New York! The Rothschild family has sealed off the city so tightly that even I couldn't evade their scrutiny. If that person has indeed obtained the treasure I seek and left New York, it will be even more difficult to track him. Perhaps he is still hiding within the city, biding his time! This time, I must find that treasure in New York!" Just as Morgana finished speaking, Aemon's phone buzzed incessantly, receiving multiple notifications. He retrieved his phone and discovered the notifications were from various Chinese news, social, and video apps.

The headlines all bore a striking similarity. He muttered to himself, "Tang Dynasty national artifact, the Four Treasures of the Study returns to China... Is this artifact of great significance? Why are multiple media outlets reporting it simultaneously..." Upon hearing this, Morgana's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "What did you say? The Four Treasures of the Study has returned to China?!" "Yes," Aemon replied, handing the phone to Morgana. He added, "Master, look, I've received numerous notifications confirming this." In that moment, a realization dawned upon him, and he asked urgently, "Master, could this possibly be the treasure you've been searching for?" Morgana's was shocked. She snatched the phone and opened one of the notifications, leading her to a news app where an emergency broadcast played. The host's commanding voice filled the air, "We interrupt this program to bring you an exclusive news report. After being lost overseas for nearly two centuries, the Tang Dynasty national treasure, the Four Treasures of the Study has finally returned to its homeland tonight. Experts assert that the Four Treasures of the Study is an immensely important national relic from the Tang Dynasty, which was secretly held by the Qing Dynasty for over two hundred years before being lost during the First and Second Opium Wars..." As the host spoke, the video displayed a close-up of the Four Treasures of the Study. Morgana beheld the majestic and awe-inspiring artifact, and her world spun. In that moment, her already fragile mindset shattered completely! With a surge of reiki in her hand, she clenched her hand, crushing Aemon's phone into powder. Aemon started in surprise, about to offer words of consolation, but when he saw Morgana's resolute expression and heard her furious outcry, he froze, "He did this deliberately! He did this on purpose! It's outrageous!" Aemon asked, bewildered, "My lord, when you say he did this on purpose, do you mean the Four Treasures of the Study was sent back to China by that mysterious person?!" Morgana teetered on the brink of breakdown, her voice tinged with hysteria, "I flew nearly ten thousand kilometers to find the Four Treasures of the Study, only to be humiliated by the Rothschild family! Little did I know, that bastard had already sent the Four Treasures of the Study back to China! It's outrageous!" "That bastard knew I would stop at nothing to obtain the Four Treasures of the Study, so he secretly sent it back to China, intending to humiliate and destroy me! I never anticipated that my reputation would be repeatedly tarnished and manipulated by him. It's utterly despicable! I, Morgana Mirren, swear upon the heavens that if I don't tear him to pieces, I am not fit to be called human!!!" With those words, an unbearable pressure built up within Morgana's chest, and a wave of fury ignited in her heart. Suddenly, a surge of nausea rose in her throat, and before she knew it, a mist of blood sprayed from her mouth! Morgana coughed twice, hastily wiping the blood from her lips, and retrieved a pill, swallowing it. She desperately sought to stabilize her disrupted energy and meridians. Aemon witnessed Morgana's anger for the first time. In that moment, she appeared on the verge of madness or even insanity. He quickly tried to reason with her, "My lord, please, don't give in to anger. The Four Treasures of the Study returning to China might not be a bad thing. We can go to China and forcefully reclaim it!" Morgana's eyes were bloodshot, her gaze seemingly ready to burst from their sockets. She could no longer contain her anger and bellowed, "That bastard was able to send the Four Treasures of the Study back to China, which means he must have revealed its secret to the authorities! Such a significant national treasure, one that can influence the country's fate, will undoubtedly be regarded as a treasure and protected by China! I can't even handle the New York State National Guard, so how can I go to China and snatch back the Four Treasures of the Study? Should I risk my life to steal it?"
