Following her memory, Raffaele quickly arrived in front of the secret room she had been to before.
She opened the secret room with ease, walked in, and closed the door behind her. Raffaele walked directly to the wall at the very bottom of the room.
She rubbed the ring on her hand a few times, and the ruby on it suddenly emitted a laser-like red light, hitting the wall. The red laser had just landed on the wall when it reflected a spot of pure white light.
Raffaele was delighted when she saw it.
"The thing is still here. He hasn't noticed it yet! "
She felt around the wall for a while, found the ring again, and pulled it out fiercely.
Crack …
With a slight cracking sound, a rectangular stone platform was pulled out of the wall. There was a metal cylinder embedded in the middle of the platform.
Raffaele reached out and grabbed the ring of the cylinder. She pulled, but it was shockingly heavy, and she couldn't move it at all.
She frowned, and began to chant softly.
"Mother, grant me courage, blessing, and strength."
Just as she finished speaking, a layer of red light flashed on her hand, and with a gentle pull, the cylinder was lifted up.
There was a cavity in the middle of the cylinder, and inside it was a black-covered notebook. For some reason, this notebook gave off a strange and inexplicable feeling. It was as if the surrounding light was constantly being sucked into it, like a black hole.
"This is it!" Raffaele quickly picked up the notebook with her finger, and flipped through it lightly. There were all kinds of mysterious and powerful Secret Techniques inside! Her face lit up with joy.
She quickly took out a piece of red cardboard, which was densely carved with a large number of symbols and patterns, and pressed the cardboard onto the notebook.
"Moura!"
She whispered the activation incantation.
There was a sudden burst of red light, and the cardboard and notebook disappeared without a trace.
"Success!" Raffaele's heart relaxed. She pulled the cylinder back, and quickly left the secret room. She looked around the corridor, and after confirming that no one else had noticed her, she calmly walked to another corner of the corridor.
Not long after she disappeared into the corner, Garon's figure suddenly appeared at the door of the secret room. He quietly looked in the direction Raffaele left, and didn't enter the secret room.
"Don't we have to deal with her?"
Tu Lan's figure slowly appeared behind Garon.
"It's too late." Garon shook his head slightly, and turned to look at Tu Lan. "I might have to leave."
"Leave?" Tu Lan was slightly stunned. "Where to?"
"I don't know …" Garon lowered his voice. "If I leave, are you willing to protect the Holy Fist Palace for me?"
Tu Lan looked like she was deep in thought. It was not a perfunctory expression, but a serious one. She thought about it for more than ten minutes, and Garon did not look impatient at all. He only waited quietly.
"I think it will be very difficult for me to last a hundred years," Tu Lan said seriously after some thought. "If it wasn't for you, I would have left long ago to train my own Secret Techniques. That feeling is much better than wasting my time here."
"You're quite frank." Garon shook his head and laughed. Only then did he remember that Tu Lan's true nature was that she was lazy and did not have any desires.
"Even though I said a hundred years, it was all for your sake." Tu Lan pouted and made a mischievous expression that did not fit her image. "I can help you guard the house for a hundred years."
She rolled her eyes. "Why don't … you take me with you?"
"Huh?" Garon didn't expect her to say that. "Why?"
"It'll be very boring without you … With you around, I'll always have a clear goal to chase after," Tu Lan answered honestly.
Garon was speechless and could not be bothered with her. If he could take her with him, he would have done so long ago. Moreover, this time was not the same as last time. This time, he was actively rejected by the planet. The Holy Phoenix Scriptures were indeed powerful and could help strengthen the Buddha Mother to a terrifying level. To be fair, if it was not for the strengthened Buddha Mother, he would not have been able to defeat Nadia. In the end, the Buddha Mother was completely destroyed and Nadia's Descending Body was on the verge of collapse. He only managed to win by forcefully fighting in his Five Star state.
Although these details were all within his plan, the strengthening of the Buddha Mother was indeed beyond his expectations. The combination of the Holy Phoenix Scriptures and the Buddha Mother caused its power to increase again.
"The world will be bored because of your departure."
Just as Garen was about to leave the corridor, Tu Lan shouted behind him.
"Who knows?"
Garon shrugged.

Far away, on a small island near the North Pole
The cold seawater kept washing the black reefs on the shore of the island. The entire island was bare and covered in black rocks, looking like an oval black pebble in the blue sea.
In the blue sky, the sun's rays were cold and did not have much warmth. The sparse white clouds moved slowly like a flight of stairs. A few white, hairy seabirds occasionally flew by. Some of them directly dove into the sea and quickly flew back out with fish of various sizes in their beaks.
In a black rock forest somewhere on the island, a beautiful woman with long white hair was slowly squatting down, looking at something placed on a red stone slab on the ground.
It was a notebook as black as ink. It was thick and the cover was like a whirlpool magnet, attracting the gazes of all living things.
The long white hair behind the woman's back dragged on the ground, scattered around her. If one looked closely, one would not be able to tell how long it was. Strands of long hair were tangled together, forming a path behind her that looked like a long skirt.
She gently picked up the notebook.
"This is the foundation of the Fist Saint Garon's martial arts?" she muttered softly, gently wiping away the dust on the surface of the notebook.
"As long as I destroy it and severely injure the Fist Saint, I can return the world to the right track …" the woman muttered softly, a hint of determination in her eyes.
She gently flipped open the notebook, and the contents inside immediately appeared before her eyes.
It was a series of strange and complicated words. These words seemed to contain some kind of magic, attracting her gaze to them and making her unable to look away.
The martial arts content on it seemed to have opened up a path for her that she had never imagined before.
"This … This is …?!" The woman's expression changed slightly. She wanted to push the notebook away, but her hands unconsciously grabbed it tightly, not letting it leave her sight. She suddenly had a feeling that if she could completely master the various martial arts on it, she might be able to walk on a new path of evolution based on her current foundation.
Suddenly, she felt an inexplicable gaze fall on her from the top of her head.
"Satellite positioning?" She frowned slightly, looked up at the sky, and quickly kept the notebook. She jumped a few times and disappeared into the Black Stone Forest.
That gaze swept across the island, but it did not seem to find anything, and continued to scan forward.

Central Intelligence Agency, USA
"There's nothing, maybe our satellite network isn't detailed enough," in front of a huge blue screen, an old man with the rank of General whispered. He looked at the world map on the big screen that was constantly flashing red dots, and turned to look at the young man in white beside him.
"Thank you for your cooperation, but I have my own way of locating it." The man had blonde hair, and one of his eyes was slightly white, as if he only had one eye. It was Garon who came out of the Holy Fist Palace. "I'm here this time because I need you to help me gather manpower. I can lead the way to the Lion Mother's nest. "
"Your Excellency Fist Saint has the means to track down a completely missing item? What a mysterious martial arts. "The old General showed a hint of interest.
"If you're interested, you can try to learn it."
"I'll try." The old man nodded.
He adjusted the earpiece at the side, and the collective feedback from the outside world came out.
"The Fifth Fleet is ready, you can go out to sea with the ship. Fleet Commander Hunter is your fourth generation disciple, and he practices the White Cloud Secret Technique. "
"Thank you very much." Garon nodded, and walked to the front of the world map, looking at the blue fluorescent screen. He slowly reached out his hand, and lightly tapped on a sea near the North Pole.
"It's here."
"Are you sure it's there? There's nothing there on the map, it's just an ocean. "The General frowned slightly.
"No, there's a small island here." Garon replied with certainty.
"Maybe it's a scale problem, some islands are too small to be shown on the map, we can zoom in to take a look." The General did not do anything, but the blue map on the big screen suddenly expanded, zooming from the world map to the sea. Soon, a black dot the size of a sesame seed appeared on the screen.
"Huh?" The General was stunned. "There really is an island."
The big screen zoomed in again, and the black dot quickly expanded, from a sesame seed to a small apple, and then to the size of a washbasin. From time to time, wisps of white clouds would slowly float past, covering a part of the island.
Through the satellite observation, they could see that the island was full of dark stone terrain, there were no trees, and no greenery.
"This is the biggest. There seems to be something interfering. "The General frowned.
"It's here." Garon looked at the image on the screen carefully. "Inform the fleet to go directly to this island."
"Alright, codename Operation Lion Hunt, officially begin!" The General nodded and said seriously.
Garon looked at the black pebbled island on the screen, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
"This time, I'll make a copy of all the Lion Mother's witchcraft knowledge to the Pentagon, and take back my things. Happy working with you. "
"Of course, happy working with you." The General's eyes flashed with desire and excitement.
Compared to the Holy Fist, he was more interested in the more mysterious witchcraft. The Lion Mother was strong enough to be a Death Apostle, and was the World Witch King. If this top-secret operation was successful, he would be able to obtain the Death Apostle level Witch King's training materials, which was an unimaginable temptation to anyone.
Therefore, when they knew that Garon was going to make a move on the Witch King, many forces gathered their forces, and finally mobilized the entire American fleet, under the guise of a drill, to carry out a top-secret operation.
As for the witches' counterattack, even the old secret party Blood Breeds were killed, and a large number of Blood Breeds from the light party joined the Holy Fist Palace because of Ashen. Among the Blood Breeds, the real power was still the light party, after all, they had dominated the Blood Breeds for too long.
Most of the Blood Breeds in the light party yearned for a peaceful human life, which was why they quickly joined the Holy Fist Palace.
This way, the power of the entire Lightless Alliance was like a rolling snowball, growing bigger and stronger. In comparison, the witches' power was getting weaker and weaker, not even worth mentioning.
Under such a situation, even if the witches counterattacked, it would have no effect on the Lightless Alliance. After all, they were too few in number.
"Then I'll go personally." Garon retracted his finger from the map.
"Good luck."
"I've never believed in luck." Garon smiled, turned around and walked out of the command room.
