Besides Saumel Baton and the Capital City Martial Arts Association, multiple secret realms had sent their Martial Saints as well.


    Even though their power couldn''t match the Capital City Martial Arts Association, Mabel Sean''s bloodline tempted them, so they were getting ready too.


    The entire world felt dark, like a massive battle wasing.


    Right then, I was driving like crazy, racing toward the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.


    After what felt like forever, I finally reached the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.


    I grabbed the Pavilion Master''s hand, ready to go.


    But the Pavilion Master stopped and said seriously: "Mason Raymond, what are you doing?"


    I said frantically, "We need to leave now! A Martial Saint showed up - you have to hide with me in the secret realm!"


    "Hide?" The Pavilion Masterughed.


    "Why would I hide?"


    I said desperately, "If they can''t find me, they''ll definitely look for you! I can''t just watch something happen to you!"


    When she heard this, the Pavilion Master''s smile got bigger.


    She pulled away from my grip, looked around the huge Divine Alchemist Pavilion and said, "If I left, what would happen to the Divine Alchemist Pavilion? What about all the alchemists who depend on me?"


    I froze where I stood.


    She was right - without the Pavilion Master, the Divine Alchemist Pavilion would copse.


    "Living means having duties," the Pavilion Master said softly.


    I immediately got calm.


    I stared at the Pavilion Master, my forehead creased, and asked, "What are you going to do?"


    The Pavilion Master answered calmly, "Don''t worry, I''ll be fine. They want you, not me."


    I stumbled over my words, trying to say more, but the Pavilion Master waved her hand saying, "Don''t waste time, or it''ll be toote."


    Time was almost up, I knew that.


    I clenched my teeth and said, "Pavilion Master, please be careful."


    After saying that, I got back in my car and drove off.


    While driving, I felt worried.


    The Martial Saint showing up was way more than I had expected.


    This meant I couldn''t protect the people around me fast enough.


    Besides the Pavilion Master, there were tons of people at Green Moon Vi.


    Spike Viktor next to me seemed to notice my worry and he said casually: "Someone with big goals doesn''t get stuck on small things. Plus, you can''t bring everyone to the secret realm - that would make people even more suspicious."


    Hearing this, I couldn''t help but whisper: "I''m sorry..."


    Right now, I really couldn''t take care of anyone else.


    Against a Martial Saint, I didn''t have any chance.


    The whole way, I hid my qi and rushed toward the secret realm.


    Meanwhile, Spike Viktor was feeling the qi around us.


    A Martial Saint''s qi was incredibly powerful - it would be easy to get caught.


    The trip was full of scary moments, but by the time Spike Viktor and I got to the secret realm, we hadn''t run into any Martial Saintsing our way.


    Standing at the secret realm entrance, Spike Viktor said, "I''ll open the secret realm now."


    I just grunted yes, looking around, waiting for Spike Viktor to open his secret realm.


    Right then, I felt three powerful qiing closer!


    This feeling was familiar - the deadly danger that came from a Martial Saint!


    "Crap! A Martial Saint''sing!" I quickly looked at Spike Viktor.


    "Hurry up, faster!" I pushed him.


    Spike Viktor stayed quiet, eyes closed, slowly opening the secret realm.


    ——


    At Green Moon Vi''s gate, three Martial Saints had shown up.


    These three were Star and the others the Second Secret Realm had sent!


    Star looked coldly at the ce and said, "This is Mason Raymond''s sect."


    After saying that, Star closed his eyes.


    He sent out his incredibly powerful divine sense, looking for Mason Raymond.


    A Martial Saint''s divine sense was amazingly strong - finding someone would be super easy.


    ——


    "It''s open! You go in first!"


    Right at the crucial moment, Spike Viktor opened the secret realm!


    I didn''t dare waste a second and quickly jumped into the Mystic Realm.


    The moment I entered the Mystic Realm, my presence vanished from this world too.


    Right after, Spike Viktor came into the Mystic Realm behind me.


    The Mystic Realm slowly shut, and everything went quiet again.


    I was breathing hard, cold sweat covering my forehead.


    The feeling of almost dying made me shiver.


    "The Martial Saint''s pressure is too strong," I gasped, stress showing on my face.


    "They probably didn''t see you," Spike Viktor said from beside me.


    I forced a bitter smile, "I hope so."


    After saying that, I looked at the world in front of me.


    This Mystic Realm was way bigger than I had thought, even as big as the Second Secret Realm!


    Also, the area around us looked like paradise, with the spiritual qi everywhere making me feel warm.


    Such thick qi was something I''d never seen before!


    Looking at everything around me, I even started wondering if Tao Yuanming''s utopia was real.


    "Wow, such thick qi!" I stretched out my arms, my whole body feeling amazing.


    In a ce rich with qi, a person would work better and live longer.


    "Even though the qi here is really thick, there''s one deadly problem," Spike Viktor suddenly said.


    "Problem?" I quickly looked at Spike Viktor.


    Spike Viktor nodded, "This Mystic Realm has a tiny crack that could cause trouble."


    Then Spike Viktor pointed toward the entrance, continuing, "The Spiritual Spring around here formed because of this crack."


    My eyebrows came together hard.


    "So you''re saying... this crack might let others find this ce?" I said seriously.


    Spike Viktor nodded, "In theory, yeah, that''s possible."


    My face immediately got dark.


    If that was true, then this Mystic Realm wasn''t safe either.


    "But don''t worry too much. This crack is tiny, so most people would have trouble finding it," Spike Viktor suddenly changed what he was saying.


    I stayed quiet for a moment, then whispered, "Let''s see what happens. I''ll try to reach the Martial Saint Realm before getting found."


    Right after, I stepped forward. I sent out my divine sense, looking for Mabel Sean.


    ——


    At the same time, in the outside world.


    Star and his group hadn''t sensed Mason Raymond''s presence.


    The moment he sent out his divine sense, Mason Raymond had already gone into the Mystic Realm.


    "He''s not here," Star said coldly.


    "Go ask the people here," Star ordered.


    The Martial Saint next to him immediately flew up, looking down at Green Moon Vi arrogantly. He then said indifferently, "Who runs this ce? Come out and meet me."


    Even though his voice wasn''t loud, it boomed like thunder in everyone''s ears!


    Everyone was shocked by this voice!


    Ximena Santos quickly came out of the Great Hall.


    She looked at the Martial Saint floating in the air and asked quietly, "I run this ce. Who are you?"


    The Martial Saint didn''t say anything, just raised his hand, and a scary force directly pulled Ximena Santos in front of him!


    Ximena Santos got lifted into the air, panic shing in her eyes.


    "Where is Mason Raymond?" The Martial Saint asked coldly.


    Ximena Santos quickly said, "I... I don''t know, Mr. Raymond hasn''t been back for a long time..."


    "You don''t know?" The Martial Saint squinted his eyes, the terrifying pressure pushing down!


    His stare went straight through Ximena Santos'' divine sense!


    This was a Martial Saint''s power! In front of a Martial Saint, you couldn''t even lie!


    Ximena Santos just felt her mind go empty, like everything around her was spinning.


    "Where is Mason Raymond?" The Martial Saint asked again.


    Ximena Santos just felt dizzy, like someone had hypnotized her, unable to hide her thoughts.
