Chapter 999
999 Wynter Encountered in the Cave
#The soldier’s reminder clearly indicated they would change the code after seven o’clock.
Wynter couldn’t know the new code. If she showed any sign of hesitation, he would definitely become suspicious.
Wynter knew that his hand was reaching for a gun. “It was too late,” her eyes squinted as she thought.
“Oh, I am sorry. I did not notice the time. Let’s go over it again.”
The soldier was still holding the gun when he was about to reply. In the moment Wynter’s silver needles were shot out, all 12 members of the two squads were immobilized on the spot.
The silver needles struck their acupoints, freezing them in place while keeping them conscious.
However, it would be too conspicuous to leave them standing there. Anyone passing by would notice something was wrong.
The Foplyan soldiers were busy arresting the dancer troupe. No one was paying attention to this side.
Fortunately, Elwood was not only brilliant but also skeptical. Otherwise, the Foplyanese traditional outfit that Wynter left behind would be useless. Given his confidence, the dancer troupe could buy her some
time.
Now, Wynter had to tidy up the scene. She glanced over. No patrol had come yet. New personnel would
arrive for the shift change in 20 minutes.
Before the new shift, she needed six people in place to avoid arousing suspicion among the distant patrol.
Wynter looked at the 12 people frozen in place. She had hidden six in the cave. Of the remaining six, three
were seated upright..
At this moment, a patrolling soldier looked over and noticed some soldiers standing as usual. He found nothing unusual although they were not talking to each other.
Wynter k
knew she could slip by unnoticed. She picked up an oil lamp and moved forward. The deeper she
went, the more she sensed something familiar.
It was a Soul Lock Formation? Wynter realized what was going on in the cave when she saw the arrangement and talismans on the ground.
Someone had manipulated the spiritual energy from nature to suppress the souls of the fortune tellers
who were destined to ascend.
Ordinary people could not break the formation. Even if they lifted the talismans, it would only alleviate their pains. The formation had to be broken to free them fully
Wynter pressed her palm firmly to the ground. Without her fiancé, the one chosen by heaven, she knew she had to do this on her own.
Even though she did not possess heavenly luck, she had the bloody energy to meet violence with

She was not adept at using the phrases Atwater taught her. So, she decided to do it her way . She bit her thumb to draw blood and offered it to the earth.
In a low voice, she uttered, “Break!”
Crack after crack spread across the ground, revealing its true form. The surface was densely inscribed in Fankrit and covered in an indescribable black mist.
An Arcane diagram was also seen on the surface. A black badge appeared in the center of the diagram, emitting a thick black energy. The carving on the badge was surrounded by flames.
Wynter had never seen anything like this before. Yet, a sense of familiarity swept over her.
She moved forward and looked down, guided by her instincts. She realized that the badge was what held
the fortune tellers‘ souls captive beneath it.
What could this be? Even those powerful fortune tellers could not escape from it.
Wynter reached out to touch it and braced for the black energy to engulf her. Those personal burdens emanated endlessly from the badge, but strangely the badge did not move.
