nFor the rest of the ceremony and the toasts, Sam was extremely vigilant. His assistant said that something happened at the mines in the central continent.

nIt could be said the whole central continent is his at the moment and only a few places around were occupied by other major powers.

nSomeone attacked the people at the mine and escaped.

nThis is completely new to Sam. Because currently there should be no one who has balls to attack the dusk organization. Even the major powers with centuries of history couldn't do anything.to him now. One swing of his sword could kill the whole major power.

nSomeone attacking the mines out of blue is impossible which made Sam extra vigilant.

nWatt and Wembley carried on with celebrations while Sam gave orders to his subordinates to get to the bottom of the incident.

nThe celebrations went on until night and when the couple went to Watt's floor in the tower the celebrations finally ended.

nSam is waiting in his office for the reports.

nThe attack is a fire elemental and they didn't kill any miners. It was a single attack and all the defensive measures at the mine were activated because of that.

nAnd these measures managed to defend against this one attack.

nThis person is definitely a consummate level cultivator at the least. If it was an Astral Plane cultivator Sam would be having a bit of trouble.

nIf an Astral Plane cultivator decides to damage Sam, then it is almost impossible for him to defend. He can find and kill them, but it is hard to completely avoid damage as there are too many ventures and they are too split.

nParticularly, the Desolate is currently his main base and core of the dusk organization he would be having more than just a bit of trouble if someone attacked him. But he couldn't think of the possibility of someone attacking him all of a sudden.

nThat night he went to the central continent and inspected the mine while he is doing the inspections someone came to him once again and informed of another attack, and this time there are casualties.

nTwenty miners died with the mine collapse.

n

"Order every miner to return to the base. Stop all the other operations in the Central continent. Inform the administrators in the city to find the families of the deceased, give them the bodies and tell them someone attacked the mine and we would avenge them.

nCompensate them however they see fit. If they have any kids of an employable youngster offer them a job in some administrative circle and join the kids in the school as permanent students. They would become employees in the school after they graduate.

nAlso don't forget about the spirit stone compensation.

nDo it fast and do it properly. Show them the respect and take any scolding they throw at you.

nI would be taking over this case completely.

"

nSam gave out the orders as he moved on harbinger to the next mine. The attack was fresh, so he could get more clues here and when he went there he could see the traces of the flames almost melting the rocks of the mine.

nBut that is not what surprised him, it is the fact the way the flame reacted with the rock and the metal. It is extremely familiar to Sam. The heat waves that were coming off due to the aftermath were also familiar to Sam.

nBecause it is extremely similar to the golden sun flames of his Golden sun crow bloodline. His golden flames and Yanwu's golden flames have similar effects, but their flames have more intensity.

nFrom the inquiry of the witnesses, they are also sure that the flames are golden in color.

nThis is another surprise. Golden flames, similar to Golden sun flames. He is pretty sure that no creature in the entire desolate is capable of that and Yanwu has never left his sight.

nThis is completely mysterious.

nLuckily Sam is a bit prepared for this kind of scenario and gave out orders.

nImmediately a bunch of puppets is deployed in all the mines by the miners who are evacuating the mines.

nThese puppets are one of the special cases. They don't do any work, they just roam around the space randomly.

nThey are made by cheap metals and they don't use any expensive parts. But they are extremely useful at the moment.

nAs soon as these puppets are activated they are connected with the nearest communication node or tower.

nAnd they would use a special technique similar to that bats to send some spiritual energy waves to the surroundings.

nAny living creatures within this range or any strong energy signature will be registered and the puppets will immediately catch the picture of it and recording the source that caused it within the range.

nIt would be stored in the nearest communication hub which uses one of the new innovations from the school.

nIt is like moving surveillance. Just like how the recorded data of the cctv footage is stored somewhere else, these images are also sent to the information hub with the help of the enchanted spirits.

nAnd it did work.

nAt midnight, Sam got a message that another mine was attacked and a recorded message was sent back to the nearest hub.

nSam immediately went there to take a look.

nHe saw five people coming to the mine and throwing golden fireballs.

nThey have golden-colored hair and there is a weird glow around their skin with a faint golden hue.

nSam took the recorded images to the tempest valley.

nOld Beast looked at them and was surprised.

n

"They are Solar Fragments. They are a weird race. They are all fire elemental warrior mages. And they use golden flames similar to the golden sun crow.

nThey are Hou Yi's subordinates.

"

n

"How did they get in here?

"

n

"I don't know, they either have to use space gates that you made or find a way to use an already existing space gate. Because all other kinds of Space travel are completely banned from the Desolate realm to the other realms.

nAnd they live too far away from here.

"

n

"So, do you think that Hou Yi sent them here somehow?

"

n

"I believe so.

"

n

"That **er.

"

n

"I will have to take care of this as fast as I can. I don't know how many people or what level cultivators could come in. Currently, we only spotted these five, and I have to catch them.

nHow far can your spiritual sense spread?

"

n

"My range is suppressed by a large margin, so only half the continent.

"

n

"Check if they are in this half.

"

nThe old beast did as he was asked and gave an answer.

n

"They are not here. They must be in the other half.

"

n

"Okay keep the surveillance. I will leave a subordinate here, if you find them, tell him. He will inform me of the space gate communication system.

nIf by any chance, you find any anomalies I might have to know inform him.

"

nSam left as soon as he asked for that and went to the other half. He has a decent space gate network within the central continent, so traveling is easy.

nHe reached each space gate and let out some more puppets.

nPuppets that are as small as little birds. These are some of his new research projects and they are used for surveillance and tracking.

nHe still didn't place them up for normal production as he didn't finish the meridian network to have maximum energy efficiency.

nThese bird puppets flew around in the area and covered a large range.

nThey are similar to the mine robots that are left for surveillance but these things are a bit more advanced and they only do the search operations.

nThey have a different set of abilities regarding their eyes.

nThey can zoom and act like some telescope which he stole from that telescope from the charbhum realm.

nThen they can have a modified version of energy vision which might not be as detailed as Sam's own, but they have a decent energy vision. Then comes the X-ray vision. It is not completely see-through, but it can find living organisms hidden in between rocks and other stuff.

nHe has to create some new inscription networks to get this. In fact, this is more expensive than the combat puppets he made.

nAnd when an image is given to the enchanted spirits of this bird they would search for the things on that image.

nPerson, object, beast, anything.

nAnd there is a portable communication hub which they would send the signal as soon as they find out the location.

nThey can estimate the exact distance from the spot and if Sam is present he could even find approximate spatial coordinates.

nBetween midnight and dawn, the team attacked another mine and Sam immediately went there and released another set of birds and soon he managed to get an approximate location.

nHe took off on the harbinger in that direction swiftly.
