"Wait! I remember now. The Divine Corpse Palace! They are involved with the Divine Corpse Palace!"
Cyril shouted in excitement.
"What are you saying?! They are involved with the Divine Corpse Palace!"
Shepard and Hare were both shocked.
The two had apparently heard of it.
"The Divine Corpse Palace? Is it a sect?"
Austin asked with a frown, trying to remember if he had come across this group.
"Come on, Austin! Don't tell me that you have never heard of them!" Cyril asked, as he gaped at Austin.
With everything that Austin had gone through, and how prominent the Divine Corpse Palace was, it was impossible that Austin wouldn't know about them.
"No, I've never heard of them,"
Austin confirmed with a nod.
"You've probably just forgotten. Let me try and refresh your memory.
The Divine Corpse Palace is a very mysterious organization.
It is mainly involved in collecting the corpses of the dead divine gods.
In the Sea of Chaos, one can encounter many of its members in many cosmoses. It even has strongholds in a few of these cosmoses.
Not much is known about its members who are terrifyingly strong. They maintain a sense of mystery about them.
Therefore, no one would mess with this organization,"
Cyril provided an overview.
"Hmm. An organization that collects deceased divine gods!
What happened to those elders that I've been looking for?!
Did they..."
Austin was taken aback after learning what the Divine Corpse Palace was about.
This was not good news.
"The elders that you talk about are still alive.
But I heard that the people of the Divine Corpse Palace keenly have their eyes on them. I wouldn't be surprised if they are keeping close watch over these elders,"
Cyril said.
"What? Are you saying that they want to lay a hand on these elders?"
Austin asked in panic.
"No, I don't think they do,"
Cyril replied, shaking his head.
"Under normal circumstances, the people from the Divine Corpse Palace would not kill divine gods.
However, they mysteriously have advanced knowledge of which divine gods are to die or might get killed. When such divine gods are identified, they would keep an eye on them. They want to be in close proximity so that they can harvest the dead divine god immediately.
Austin, the elders you are looking for are in danger, and they might lose their lives. That is why the members of the Divine Corpse Palace are watching them closely,"
Cyril explained.
"I see," Austin responded, slightly relieved.
But at the thought that Morphy's life was still at risk, the worry in his heart remained.
"By the way, Cyril, how did you know the people of the Divine Corpse Palace are watching these divine gods?"
Austin asked immediately.
"The people of the Whirling Sect announced all the names in public.
A few days ago, the people of the Whirling Sect posted flyers with the list of divine gods' names on it. They also informed the Divine Corpse Palace that those divine gods on the flyer would die soon, and asked them to collect the dead bodies.
That's why the people of the Divine Corpse Palace have been watching the divine gods on the flyer. It was a pretty well coordinated act.
It is concerning that almost all the senior members of our Flying Phoenix Sect, including our leader, are on that list.
I also saw the elders' names on that list.
There is a possibility that just like us, these elders you are looking for have also provoked the Flying Phoenix Sect,"
Cyril said with a bitter smile and a slight shake of his head.
"I see.
So Whirling Sect is behind all this,"
Austin said, his face livid.
'It seems that Morphy and the other three divine gods are not doing well in the Ancient Mysterious Dragon Kingdom.
The Whirling Sect even announced in public, their imminent death, ' Austin thought.
"Yeah. The Whirling Sect is the most aggressive sect in the Ancient Mysterious Dragon Kingdom.
It has been secretly expanding its influence and has annexed many weaker sects in the past few years.
