Constantinople.
Just as the group from Secret Technique Heaven reached the city's edge—the area enveloped by the glow of the Eye of Omniscience in the sky—Destruction Heaven frowned slightly and stopped in his tracks.
"Twenty-four auras of Spiritual Talismans?"
The question came from an old man dressed in the traditional garments of Ancient Pusuo. He was emaciated, yet his deeply lined face held an expression of profound compassion.
He was the Tribulation Praise Singer of Secret Technique Heaven.
The other members of Secret Technique Heaven also stopped, sensing that something was amiss.
Outside the city, they had been able to vaguely sense the auras erupting from two Spiritual Talismans. But upon entering the urban area, that presence had multiplied, reaching a total of twenty-four distinct locations scattered throughout the city.
There were only twelve Spiritual Talismans in total, so these twenty-four auras must have been faked by the Illuminati.
