Chapter 718: Chapter 718 A Deliberate Conflict
The solemn promise of the man with the mustache made my worries grow stronger.
"So, he has a better constitution than humans," I said grimly.
The man with the mustache waved his hand. "Not necessarily. Some special human cultivators aren’t worse off than the Heaven Swallowing Python."
"Like you, for example. If you two were at the same rank, it’d still be unclear how things would turn out."
I laughed. "I don’t need to be at the same rank. As long as I reach the late-term Military Marquis realm, I won’t fear the Heaven Swallowing Python."
"I won’t argue with that," the man with the mustache said, spreading his hands.
"Enough about that." I changed the subject. "Do you know how to open the Mystic Realm?"
The man with the mustache shook his head. "If I knew how to open the Mystic Realm, I wouldn’t need to come here."
I frowned.
Even the man with the mustache didn’t know about the Mystic Realm.
"Alright, don’t talk to me these next few days. I don’t want to get involved," the man with the mustache muttered.
After saying this, he walked away quickly.
After walking a short distance, the man with the mustache suddenly stopped. "Where’s the little girl who’s with you?"
"Little girl?" I was stunned.
"Are you talking about Watson Thompson?"
The man with the mustache nodded. "Yes, the people of the Ice Palace are targeting her. Why didn’t you bring her here?"
I stayed silent for a moment.
The man with the mustache had a point. Since this was Capital City Martial Arts Association territory, the Ice Palace probably wouldn’t dare to be bold here.
"I’ll go back and get her now," I said.
Just as I was about to leave, a voice suddenly rang out within the academy.
The voice seemed to be transmitted through some technique, coming from all directions.
"Everyone, gather at the square."
The words were extremely brief, just a few characters.
I didn’t give it much thought and immediately headed towards the square.
On the square, people were already gathered.
Phoebe Billy and Ms. Zackary were already standing at the front.
"Why are they suddenly calling us to gather? Is something going on?" Bella Tad furrowed his brows.
I shook my head. "I’m not sure."
About ten minutes later, Ms. Zackary finally spoke.
She looked at everyone coldly. "I believe you’ve all heard about the Mystic Realm. As the leader of the martial arts world, we’ll naturally make the controlled Mystic Realm public."
Upon hearing these words, nearly everyone present became excited.
I squinted and waited for Ms. Zackary’s next words.
Ms. Zackary continued, "The first time the Mystic Realm opens will be in half a month. I hope everyone will be there on time."
"Half a month? That’s so long!" Bella Tad couldn’t help but frown.
Not only he, but almost everyone present couldn’t help but complain.
"Half a month? That’s too long."
"Didn’t they say it would be in a few days?"
"Why are they dragging the timeline on?"
Everyone complained, but I remained silent.
"Half a month?"
I furrowed my brows.
That number seemed somewhat familiar.
A moment later, I suddenly remembered something.
I took out my phone and calculated the time.
Sure enough, half a month was precisely the day of the Ten Thousand Years Divine Medicine appearance! It conflicted with the Mystic Realm!
Looking at Ms. Zackary, I suddenly became a little suspicious.
Could it be... did Ms. Zackary also find out about the news and deliberately open the Mystic Realm in half a month?
After all, a ten-thousand-year-old medicinal herb held extraordinary significance, and even the Mystic Realm couldn’t compare with it.
Once a medicinal herb reached ten thousand years, it would enter another level.
Even a 9,999-year-old medicinal herb would be worlds apart from a ten-thousand-year-old one.
"Is it a coincidence or deliberate?" I furrowed my brows.
Gazing at Ms. Zackary, I shouted, "Who will be leading the team to the Mystic Realm?"
Ms. Zackary gave me a cold glance. "President Billy and the three purple robes will lead the team."
"What about you?" I continued to ask.
Ms. Zackary stared coldly at me. "Do I need to report everything I do to you?"
After saying this, she snorted coldly and no longer paid attention to me.
I touched my chin and said quietly, "This... doesn’t seem like a coincidence."
This put me in a dilemma for a moment.
I was curious about the Mystic Realm.
Although I had been to the Michelle Sect’s Mystic Realm before, the resources of that Mystic Realm had already been exhausted.
However, the ten-thousand-year-old medicinal herb seemed to be more attractive to me!
As long as I could obtain the ten-thousand-year-old medicinal herb, I could step into the late-term Military Marquis realm and even reach the peak!
Once I stepped into the late-term realm, the Capital City Martial Arts Association would be like an uninhabited territory for me!
Furthermore, I planned to attack the Capital City Martial Arts Association to forcibly save people after stepping into the late-term Military Marquis realm!
"Forget it." After struggling for a while, I finally decided to give up this Mystic Realm trip and focus on the ten-thousand-year-old medicinal herb emergence.
After the meeting, I found the man with the mustache.
I grabbed the man who was about to run away and said seriously, "You don’t have to be so nervous. With your abilities, I believe that the Heaven Swallowing Python wouldn’t be able to handle you."
The man with the mustache muttered, "That’s not something you can just say casually. Besides archaeology, I’m nothing."
I wasn’t in the mood to argue with him and coldly said, "I’m asking you, is there a way to revive the two male corpses?"
The man with the mustache opened his eyes wide. "Are you crazy? That’s giving me too much credit! Last time I helped you, it took a lot of effort!"
"Is there really no way?" I frowned.
The man with the mustache shook his head. "No, if we try to force a revival again, the two male corpses might develop self-awareness."
"At that time, it would be a disaster for the entire world."
I fell silent.
If two mighty realm cultivator corpses developed self-awareness, it would indeed be a disaster.
Not to mention martial artists, even modern weapons wouldn’t be able to deal with them.
"It seems I can only rely on myself," I thought.
The man with the mustache grabbed my arm. "Do you have another bad idea?"
I looked at the man with the mustache and then laughed, "Mustache, I’m going to have a serious talk with you. If you can find a way to open the Mystic Realm, I can tell you a secret. How about that?"
"A way to open the Mystic Realm?" The man with the mustache stroked his chin, seemingly weighing his options.
"It seems that the man with the mustache really knows how to open the Mystic Realm," I thought.
The man with the mustache opened his mouth to speak, but at this moment, a figure approached the two.
Upon seeing the figure, the man with the mustache quickly retreated two steps and ran away.
