Chapter 736: Chapter 736 Seven Coffins Rise From Earth
When Guy Noble spoke those words, I quickly nodded. "Got it!"
We both stormed out after that.
I never saw Ms. Zackary’s divine intervention coming! I’d given up all hope, but she jumped in to help me out!
Climbing into Guy Noble’s car, we raced toward the Noble Family estate.
Night had fallen, but Pat Noble was still awake. He sat fishing by his pond, looking like some kind of immortal figure.
Guy Noble rushed to his father’s side, gasping. "Dad, something terrible happened!"
Pat Noble glanced at him. "What’s wrong? Stop making such a fuss."
"Dad, I got insulted at the Island Banquet," Guy Noble said, his voice shaking with rage.
"He said our Downton City is just some tiny speck, and that we’re just some small noble family who’s never seen the real world!"
Pat Noble’s face darkened at those words.
Guy Noble kept going. "He even said we’re from some backwater mountain village and called us tigers!"
"Monkeys," I corrected from the side.
"Right, he called us monkeys!" Guy Noble spat through clenched teeth.
After hearing these insults, Pat Noble’s face turned almost black with fury.
Father and son shared the same personality - both loved being flattered. Praise them, and they’d consider you a friend for life.
"Mason, step outside for a moment." Pat Noble spoke in a controlled tone, trying to contain his rage.
I nodded. "Sure thing."
"Ahh!!! Damn him! How dare he insult the Noble Family! He’s a dead man!!!"
The moment I stepped out, Pat Noble’s furious roar echoed from behind me!
I couldn’t help but shake my head in amazement.
Proud people like the Noble father and son were pretty rare.
About ten minutes passed.
Guy Noble emerged from the room.
His face was grim as he said, "Mason, my father decided you’ll serve as a guest official for the Noble Family for twenty years."
"No problem!" I agreed without hesitation.
Guy Noble continued, "In four days, I’ll personally bring reinforcements to help you."
Joy flooded through me, and I quickly bowed. "Thank you, Mr. Noble!"
Guy Noble waved dismissively and snorted. "I want to show that Ms. Zackary what the Noble Family is really capable of - we’re not monkeys!"
"Absolutely! Let’s teach them a lesson!" I clenched my fists.
After getting home, I collapsed onto the sofa and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Finally got that sorted out," I muttered.
Eight-Character Beard walked over. "Mason, I read the omens last night and discovered something major!"
I looked at him. "What kind of major thing?"
Eight-Character Beard’s expression turned serious. "Something big is about to happen."
"Big event? What big event?" I asked, confused.
Eight-Character Beard shook his head. "I’m not certain, but it’s definitely major, and it’s not good news."
"Not good news?" That left me puzzled.
From Eight-Character Beard’s serious expression, he wasn’t joking around.
But what exactly this bad event was, even Eight-Character Beard wasn’t sure.
I didn’t dwell on it too much. For me, the most crucial thing right now was getting that medicinal herb.

Meanwhile, within the Immortal Slaying Sect.
An icy atmosphere engulfed the entire sect. Among the broken walls and ruins, a man suddenly materialized.
The man had a cold face, towering height, and incredibly deep eyes.
"The seal... It’s actually been shattered." The man drew a deep breath, and instantly, his pupils filled with darkness!
Then, the man raised both hands and began chanting under his breath.
In an instant, the Immortal Slaying Sect trembled violently, rumbling non-stop!
Coffin after coffin burst up from underground!
These coffins broke through the earth, appearing before the man!
"Too bad we couldn’t preserve the Sect Lord’s body." The man spoke quietly, his eyes showing a trace of regret.
"However... with just these seven, we should be able to sweep across the world." The man’s mouth curved into a cold smile.
——
Time raced by quickly.
Three days vanished in a flash.
Only one day remained before the ten-thousand-year-old medicinal materials would emerge.
On this day, the surrounding atmosphere turned somewhat eerie.
Though everything appeared calm on the surface, undercurrents flowed beneath.
Many top martial artists from the Pyro and even from overseas had arrived in the area, waiting for the ten-thousand-year-old herbs to appear.
I released my divine sense, covering dozens of miles around.
Soon, I detected several powerful auras.
"There must be at least twenty or thirty Marquises here," I frowned.
"I sense it too," Watson Thompson suddenly spoke up.
I looked at Watson Thompson with surprise. "Your divine sense is that sharp? Did you train it specifically?"
"No, I don’t know why, but... my divine sense power seems to change every day," Watson Thompson shook her head.
I stayed silent, but worry crept into my heart.
What I feared wasn’t the masked woman, but that the masked woman and Watson Thompson might not be the same person - that she had just borrowed Watson’s body for resurrection.
If that were true, it would spell trouble.
"I need to visit the Scripture Pavilion as soon as possible," I thought to myself.
As night fell, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
I stood by the window, staring at the scenery outside.
"Tomorrow the Divine Medicine appears, yet it’s so quiet here," I furrowed my brow.
Normally, the emergence of ten-thousand-year medicinal materials would definitely cause visions between heaven and earth.
"Maybe this is the calm before the storm," I shook my head.
I turned back into the room and pulled out my phone.
The Martial Arts Forum was buzzing with activity, but nobody was discussing the ten-thousand-year medicinal materials. Almost everyone was talking about the epic battle between Paul Randall and the Heaven Swallowing Python.
"After three days of continuous fighting, Paul Randall achieves victory!"
A bold news headline caught my attention!
"As expected of Senior Paul Randall," I felt a bit surprised.
It was crucial to understand that both the Heaven Swallowing Python and Paul Randall were at Peak Military Marquis Realm! Defeating a demonic beast in the same realm was incredibly difficult! And defeating an Earth-Rank Demonic Beast was nearly impossible!
I scrolled through the Martial Arts Forum - almost everyone was discussing this matter.
This made me suspect that Ms. Zackary might have deliberately used this method to draw everyone’s attention, preventing the ten-thousand-year-old medicinal materials from being snatched away.
The sky gradually brightened to a fish-belly white.
And the atmosphere in the surrounding area became even more bizarre.
Though everyone was concealing their auras, an oppressive force still condensed throughout the area.
"Today the ten-thousand-year medicinal materials will appear," I took a deep breath and immediately released my divine sense, covering the surroundings.
