Chapter 808: Chapter 808 The Girl Who Is Chained
Phoebe Billy dragged me aside and spoke with icy coldness, "Mason Raymond, I have no idea who that guy is, but he can’t be trusted!"
"Should the Capital City Martial Arts Association discover our dealings, you understand the repercussions far better than I!"
I gave Phoebe’s shoulder a reassuring pat, offered a slight smile, and replied, "When I say everything’s under control, it is, so stop fretting."
Though Phoebe remained reluctant, he had little choice but to proceed with our arrangement.
"Thank goodness I already evacuated my people," Phoebe mused internally.
Phoebe then fixed Leigh Simpson with a cold stare and declared, "Once we’re inside the Mystic Realm, you follow my commands."
Leigh responded with a blank expression, "Got it."
Having spoken those words, Phoebe guided Leigh Simpson and me toward the Capital City Martial Arts Association.
When night fell, the Capital City Martial Arts Association lay in complete silence.
Under normal circumstances, guards would be stationed there, but tonight the place stood deserted.
Clearly, Phoebe had arranged everything beforehand.
Once we crossed through the main hall, Phoebe came to a halt.
"Mason Raymond, this is as far as I can escort you," Phoebe announced.
I gave him a nod and answered, "That works."
Following that, Phoebe lifted his hand and struck himself on the crown of his head.
The blow knocked Phoebe unconscious instantly.
"Pretty careful of you," I murmured, observing what had just happened.
I then guided Leigh Simpson as we pressed onward.
Our route remained clear, and we soon reached the Mystic Realm’s entrance.
I gestured ahead and announced, "Here we are."
Leigh gave a small nod. He moved closer, lifted his hand, and began probing carefully as though seeking the secret realm’s exact location.
Before long, his palm froze at a particular point in the air.
Right away, a flash of light burst from his palm’s center.
Standing next to him, I inquired, "From what I recall, there’s a Prime Secret Realm that works like a doorway. Opening it requires something similar to a key or code, correct? So how can you access it?"
Leigh shot me a look and replied, "Haven’t you heard of lock picking?"
I rubbed my chin and muttered, "Fair point."
Leigh paid me no attention and kept working, the glow in his hand growing more intense.
My gaze stayed fixed on Leigh’s movements, attempting to learn something from his methods.
Right then, Leigh extended his arm, and a token radiating green light materialized in his grasp.
Leigh seized the jade token and thrust it forward!
In that instant, blinding lights erupted before us!
The intense radiance lit up the dark evening!
"Hum!"
As the light blazed, a round opening materialized in front of us!
"We’re in," Leigh stated without emotion.
I looked at Leigh and asked, "So accessing this secret realm depends on that token you’re holding, right?"
Leigh’s brow creased slightly as he responded, "What’s it to you?"
I chuckled and said, "Just curious."
"Stop wasting time, get in there and rescue her," Leigh snapped coldly.
Naturally, I wouldn’t let this chance slip by. I raised my foot and stepped confidently into the Mystic Realm!
"I’ll be waiting out here," Leigh said icily.
I had no time to worry about Leigh. I pushed forward with everything I had, my entire body vanishing into the Mystic Realm in an instant.
Shortly after, a completely different landscape spread out before me!
Dense qi flowed toward me!
The environment around me left me speechless.
While there weren’t any towering buildings here, lush mountains and flowing waters stretched everywhere!
Unlike the concrete maze of the outside world, this location felt like a genuine natural haven!
Not too far off stood a stunning Lila Palace.
And the massive peaks filled my entire field of view.
When compared to the Michelle Sect’s Mystic Realm, this Second Secret Realm was infinitely superior.
It resembled a completely separate universe, whereas the Michelle Sect’s Mystic Realm felt more like a hidden facility.
"The Capital City Martial Arts Association really has access to abundant resources," I whispered.
I attempted to extend my divine sense to locate Mabel Sean’s presence.
But this place was simply enormous - searching for one person was like looking for a needle in a haystack!
My brows knitted together right away.
"How did I forget something so basic?" I frowned.
As I moved ahead, I considered my options.
"Well, I’m here now, so I might as well check out the Second Secret Realm," I thought to myself.
So I began my journey, covering the Second Secret Realm’s territory with long strides.
I sent out my divine sense, hunting for Mabel’s presence.
After walking for miles, I finally spotted signs of activity.
I noticed a young woman dancing elegantly by a river in the distance.
"Wait? A Military Marquis?"
I tried to read the girl’s energy, only to find that this seemingly ordinary girl was actually at the Military Marquis Realm!
"Looks like this Secret Realm has plenty of skilled practitioners hiding around," I furrowed my brows.
I thought for a moment, then quickly moved toward the girl and clamped my hand over her nose and mouth from behind.
A crushing force surrounded her.
The young woman attempted to fight back but couldn’t escape.
"Hold still, I’m not going to harm you. If you refuse to cooperate, I’ll end your life," my cold voice reached her ear.
The young woman blinked frantically, terror filling her eyes.
I gradually loosened my grip, and only after making sure she wouldn’t cry out did I release her completely.
"Relax, I just need to ask you some things," I said coldly.
Tears gathered in the girl’s wide eyes, clearly terrified.
This caught me off guard.
I understood that in the outside world, a Military Marquis was quite an impressive figure. How could she be so weak?
"Is it possible that in this Second Secret Realm, a Military Marquis doesn’t amount to much?" I wondered silently.
By now, the girl’s eyes had filled with tears, making her appear quite pathetic.
But I wasn’t one to show mercy to women. I asked coldly, "Tell me, where are the Capital City Martial Arts Association people? And where is Mabel Sean being kept?"
The girl’s delicate eyebrows drew together slightly as she answered, "Do you mean the girl who’s chained up?"
When I heard that, my eyes suddenly widened.
"Exactly! Tell me where she is this instant!" I seized the girl’s arm.
The girl said nervously, "She’s being kept at Heavenly Mystery Atlas..."
"Heavenly Mystery Atlas? Lead me there," I quickly got to my feet and ordered.
But the girl whispered softly, "That place is heavily guarded, and they don’t allow anyone near..."
"I don’t give a damn about guards! Take me there right now!" I shouted furiously.
How could the girl dare to refuse my orders? She could only nod anxiously and say, "Okay... I’ll guide you there..."
So, with the girl showing the way, I followed behind, moving toward Heavenly Mystery Atlas.
