Undead Demigod's existence was a taboo for the card apprentices. Hence, it was an unspoken rule among the card apprentices to kill the undead card apprentice on sight. So, to find not one but a dozen undead card demigods active in the Southern Region the Royal Instructor was shocked. He wanted to learn more about them but Royal Instructor did not think Asong would call his bluff. However, the Royal Instructor could not let Asong leave without clarifying his doubts about the undead demigods. So, he broke his staring contest with Asong, looking past her he rested his eyes on her bodyguards who were stabilizing their wounds, and reminded her, "It appears they are in bad shape. If they don't gain access to soul energy soon they might succumb to their injuries. Too bad I cannot withdraw my silence rule domain because of the undead. If only I was a bit stronger."

The underlying meaning of the Royal Instructor's words was simply that Anna might care about the death of Asong but not about Asong's bodyguards, unlike Asong whose life they risked their life to save. Listening to the Royal Instructor, Asong's expression remained unchanged as she decisively and coldheartedly said, "They would be honored to die in the line of duty." However, she wasn't done, "But Wyatt would not be happy to learn that his guest received such a terrible welcome." she bluffed. The sly grin on the Royal Instructor was replaced by a frown learning that Asong was Wyatt's guest. He didn't believe her but decided to hear her out, "How are you related to Wyatt?" After all, currently, he wanted to grow closer to Wyatt and get on his good side. Learning about the origin of the undead was important but he did not jeopardize his friendship with over this. Asong's timing could not be more perfect, if it was some other time the Royal Instructor would not bothered to give Wyatt any face let alone give face to his name but now that he knew Wyatt could create the celestial rule domain he was willing to bend over backwards for Wyatt. "He's my savior and friend," Asong replied, seeing this would not be enough she went into details, "It was he who cured my innate condition, allowing me to practice active soul control percentage once again."

Of the place Asong could have run to being chased by the undead, she rushed to the Sky Blossom City to seek asylum under Wyatt's protection. Asong did not trust the Southern Royal family to protect her without getting anything in return, however, she trusted that if it was Wyatt's whim they would have no choice but to protect her along with Wyatt. Not to mention Wyatt seems to be aware of the conspiracy in the Central Captial. It was he who warned her not to go around snooping and running for her life. But curiosity got the best of Asong, since she was running for her life anyway, she decided to learn the truth and go into hiding. Such that when in hiding she would think of ways to counter the conspiracy when she was finally ready to surface once again or just use the VR-Universe to do her dirty work. However, Asong was wrong as soon as she became aware of the abyss that was slowly preparing to swallow the central capital it became aware of her and made the first move. Not wanting to hurt those close to her and not knowing whom to trust Asong ran to the only person she knew who was fine despite knowing the abyss slowly engulfing the central capital. Asong's bet was right. She and her bodyguards hadn't even made it to the Sky Blossom City and they were already rescued by Wyatt's bodyguards. Knowing how big the name Wyatt was in the Southern Region Asong did not hesitate to throw it around to get her way when faced with challenges in the Southern Region. Asong was desperate and saw no wrong or shame in her action. "That doesn't prove anything," the Royal Instructor was not convinced listening to Asong. From what Asong said, she would be a patient and customer to Wyatt best. But a friend and a guest now that was far-fetched. "Then please allow me to use my grimoire to inform Wyatt that I have safely arrived at his city thanks to the help of the Royal Instructor," Asong was not here to make enemies but to seek asylum therefore she did not dare to offend the Royal Instructor too much. Her mind was a mess after learning what was actually happening in the central capital. She could not care less about the Royal Instructor and his threats. The Royal Instructor intently stared at Asong, before giving in, "That won't be necessary." With that, he freed the Asong and her bodyguards from his silence rule domain. Regaining the connection to their grimoires Asong's bodyguards immediately tended to themselves while Asong gratefully said, "Thank you, Royal Instructor." Disregarding Asong's thanks, the Royal Instructor turned to face the undead and began to analyze them to learn a shocking truth about them and blurted in disbelief, "These Undead have recently broken through to demigods."

"Is that bad?" Asong asked "Undead aren't like living. Pain/fear, aging, and death do not entangle them like they do the living but as a result, unlike the living they do not understand emotions, they don't grow, and they don't have meaning. Hence, it is difficult for the undead to break through to a higher realm as they can't break through to a higher realm using normal means like the living, but for a dozen undead to break through to demigod rank that too not long ago and together means someone was grooming them, helping them break through to the demigod realm," in his shock, the Royal Instructor speculated aloud. Then, he cussed, "Fuck, who is crazy enough to groom undead like chickens and pigs. And how are they doing it without attracting any attention?" "..." Asong was shocked by the Royal Instructor's investigative prowess. He was asking all the right questions. Unfortunately, she did not trust him enough to give answers to those questions despite having risked her life to learn the answers because the truth was that shocking. There was no telling how the Royal instructor and the Southern Royal family would react after learning it. So, for her safety, Asong played dumb.
