Chapter 519 Kuro Clan
"I don't know your trump card, but my estimation at best would be 2.
I would suggest both of you focus on becoming progenitors after you finish your personal tasks."
The Guardian snapped his finger before Alex and Ming Yue could respond.
Seeing the empty spot where they stood before, the Guardian mumbled, "Master, your prediction was correct. It's unfortunate you are not here, though."
He then let out a sigh, "I hope you fulfill your dream of living carefree till the end of your life."
Meanwhile, Alex and MingYue found themselves in a completely different place. The architecture was similar, telling them they were still in the frontline area.
"Dammit, I should have asked to see the rift first."
MingYue rolled her eyes. "Does that matter? We can pretty much tell it's just a gargantuan portal like the one in your world."
"Alex, MingYue?" YingXue called from behind their back.
"Oh, he sent you here already."
"Umm… can you tell me what happened?"
YingXue was confused; suddenly, both of them disappeared, and then the next moment, she was transported here.
"Try to check your terminal; there should be more information there."
Alex was too lazy to explain to YingXue now. He felt like he just missed a big opportunity.
Even though what MingYue said was right, he still felt he could learn more by seeing it closely.
There was also the museum that he wanted to see.
'Let me check my terminal. Maybe there is something useful there,' Alex thought.
But he didn't have the time; MingYue nudged his clothes.
"Alex, we are surrounded."
Her words made Alex spread out his senses, but he felt nothing. Only when he focused his eyes did he see many shadow-like beings surrounding him.
'No life presence? And their appearance…'

"Stop there, state your business."
What happened reminded Alex of his meeting with Alice and William.
He had suspicions when he heard about the name Neko Clan, but he thought it was right.
The ones surrounding them looked just like felidaens; the only difference was they were not cursed.
Their fur was jet black, as were their hair and pupils.
The group was dominated by females, each holding a weapon pointed toward them.
The weapons themselves mostly consisted of daggers.
"The Guardian sent me here. Are you the one responsible?"
While asking, Alex focused his sense again, attuning it to a different wave of energy. Only now could he feel their presence.
But before the woman could talk, YingXue, who had already finished reading her terminal, changed her expression from a frown to surprise.
"Aren't you Kurone? Do you still remember me? We cooperated a few times."
The woman in the frown turned her gaze toward YingXue. Her eyes recognized YingXue, but she didn't drop her guard.
Her dagger was still pointed at them.
"I remember, but what are you doing here?"
"Check your terminal; the Guardian should send you some message."
"Don't make any move," Kurone said while checking.
'Alex, is this another type of energy? Not qi?'
'I think this is qi, but it's mixed with shadow elements, making it hard to detect. The element seems to blend with the surroundings, making it skip even our detection. Try attuning your detection.'
Alex told MingYue the method he used. By attuning their sense to different frequencies, just like a radio antenna, it allowed them to detect more presence.
'Ah, I see. So, it's not like those felidaens that basically act like the undead.'
'If we brought William here, things should be easier. I am sure they are part of felidaen.'
'Why not just ask her then?'
'I doubt she will have that kind of information. We will need to talk with their clan leader at least.'
'All snake clans should belong to the Snake Progenitor, same with fairy and feline.'
'I agree. As long as we can find someone knowledgeable in their clan, we probably can get some information on felidaens.'
'What a coincidence. Now I wonder if all beastman clans belong to species that fought in the war?'
'Snake Clan and Orochi Clan should have some relation.
So does the Xue ancestor. Who knows what kind of role they played in the Progenitor War.
Let's see if we can get more information while we are here.'
'By the way, Alex, what about Auntie and your sister? Both of them were still in that Elder's place.'
"Don't worry, with Dorian and Selene, nothing will go wrong with them."
'They are precisely what makes me worry.'
'At worst, they will just cause havoc. With their strength, the elder will still stand no chance.'
Kurone finished looking up and turned back to Alex. She made a gesture for others to lower their weapons.
"This is too important for me to decide. For now, follow me and wait in the guest area."
The trio were then taken to a room and left alone. Two people were placed as guards at the entrance.
"Do you know her?" Alex asked.
"Yes, we fought together a few times. As for their information, try to check your terminal. Even though the projection is not life-scale, it should be more than enough."
Alex used his qi and checked the terminal.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
It worked just like a holographic projection but one that only they could see.
Based on the information, the Neko Clan specialized in shadow abilities and close combat fighting. They used their agility, moving like assassins through the battlefield.
Their cultivation method also allowed them to jump between shadows.
In a battlefield consisting of many people, this ability was deadly. Just imagine the enemy you see is one hundred, but in each of their shadows, dozens of assassins were hidden.
Although Alex was surprised, this clan didn't have a bad reputation.
Considering the Silver Snake Clan, famous for killing stealthily, the Neko Clan should be able to do it easier if they wanted.
If they didn't, it meant they rarely showed up in battles where they were dominating or winning easily.
They would only show up when they needed to.
'What deadly assassins. If I can recruit them to my army, that will be great.'
'Alex, why do you think the Guardian didn't send your mom and sis with us?'
