The call connected right away, and Vivi Eve said anxiously, "Young Master Garcia, there''s something I need to tell you."


    Garcia Coleman was dealing with business about therge spiritual stone mine on the other end.


    He asked impatiently, "What''s going on?"


    "It''s...beep beep beep..."


    Before Vivi could get the words out, the call ended.


    A streak of light shot by, smashing Vivi''s phone to pieces.


    The one who struck was his father, Aiden Eve.


    "Dad, what the hell!" Vivi snapped angrily.


    Aiden Eve shook his head. "Better not to tell him about this."


    "Why not?!" Vivi waspletely confused.


    Aiden Eve spoke seriously, "So many people chased after Mason Raymond and couldn''t get him. If Mason doesn''t die, we''re the ones who''ll end up dead."


    "So... we''re just gonna take this lying down?" Vivi said furiously.


    Aiden Eve sighed softly. "Just let it go."


    Even after saying this, Vivi still looked pissed off.


    Outside the door.


    I caught every single word of their conversation.


    After hearing Aiden''s words, I finally felt some relief and walked away from the ce.


    ...


    Only one day remained before therge spiritual stone mine would open.


    More and more people were showing up near the mine.


    They went from lurking in the shadows to slowlying out into the open.


    The seven Martial Saints from the Mystic Realm were still talking about something.


    Two groups had formed at the scene.


    One group was made up of today''s martial artists, and the other group was martial artists from the Mystic Realm.


    "How ridiculous. Never thought we''d run into a situation like this," Pearson Bowman said with sarcasm.


    "Yeah, back in the day, we all looked down on the world from way up high. Now we''re being looked down on by this bunch of young people from the Mystic Realm," Wayne Ran couldn''t help butugh bitterly.


    "Now I get why Mason Raymond has it out for us so bad," Zora Solomon said coldly.


    The scene went quiet, and everyone couldn''t help but sigh a little.


    "These past few days, there''s been non-stop trouble at therge spiritual stone mine. It''s gotta be about to open soon," Elena Green said quietly.


    She looked around, like she was looking for something.


    "What''s up?" Wilbert Jaxon asked.


    Elena Green frowned. "I''ve got this feeling... Mason Raymond might show up."


    ...


    That night, the mood at the scene got more and more tense.


    Finally, in the middle of the night, I arrived at the scene.


    I spread out my divine sense, covering the area around me.


    Soon, my face went dark.


    There were at least close to a hundred people here!


    And the weakest ones among them were in the Military Marquis Realm!


    "Looks like all the hidden masters havee out of the woodwork," I took a deep breath.


    A hundred Military Marquises - this was unheard of.


    It had been years since anyone had seen something on this scale.


    Seeing how the two groups had split up at the scene, I couldn''t help but feel troubled.


    After thinking it over for a while, I quietly moved closer to Elena Green and the others.


    I positioned myself among the group of present-day descendants but stayed dozens of meters away from Elena and the rest.


    "With those seven Martial Saints around, we don''t stand a chance of fighting back," someone whispered.


    "When therge spiritual stone mine opens, that''s when the real fighting will break out."


    "There''ve been constant fights these past few days, and both sides have taken losses, but our side''s losses are way worse."


    While they were talking, a car slowly drove up from the distance.


    As soon as the car stopped, Garcia Coleman got out.


    "That piece of garbage!" Seeing Garcia Coleman, I could tell Pearson Bowman and the others were cursing in their hearts!


    Ever since the Martial Saints came out of the Mystic Realm, Garcia had been hanging around with them.


    "Before, the Capital City Martial Arts Association at least pretended to be fair. Now they don''t even bother with that, and they''ve straight-up picked a side," I heard Elena Green whisper.


    "Mason Raymond was smart to break ties with the Capital City Martial Arts Association early on."


    "That bastard, since he''s made his position clear, he shouldn''t think about leading the martial arts world. But he wants it all."


    Under everyone''s watch, Garcia Coleman walked toward the seven Martial Saints.


    When he passed by Pearson Bowman and the others, Garcia Coleman stopped.


    "Everyone, good to see you''re all doing well," Garcia Coleman said with a smile.


    Pearson shot back with disdain, "Oh, isn''t this the young master who came out of the Second Secret Realm? What an honor to be able to talk to you."


    "Yeah, young master Garcia, why don''t you hurry up and show off with your Mystic Realm buddies instead of talking to us?"


    Even so, Garcia Coleman didn''t get mad.


    He smiled slightly, "I know you guys have got me all wrong, but let me tell you, the Capital City Martial Arts Association will definitely give you the answer you''re looking for."


    "We don''t represent the Mystic Realm or you guys, but fairness."


    "Bullshit!" I could see Pearson couldn''t help but spit on the ground.


    Garcia Coleman sighed lightly, waved his hand, and said, "I''ll give you the answer you want."


    With that, he headed toward the seven Martial Saints.


    "Damn show-off, son of a bitch!"


    "I really want to crack his skull open!"


    "Once I reach the Martial Saint Realm, I''m gonna kill all of them!"


    While they were talking, another young man from the Mystic Realm walked over from the distance.


    The guy was dressed fancy and covered in jewelry, looking like some rich young master.


    When I saw this person, I noticed a sh of anger cross Pearson Bowman''s and the others'' faces.


    This man was none other than Kevin Adams, who had hurt Pearson and Zora Solomon in the Mystic Realm!


    Kevin Adams''s eyes swept around before finallynding on Pearson and the others.


    His face showed a hint of amusement as he walked straight toward Pearson.


    "Oh, you''re still breathing?" Kevin Adams said mockingly.


    Pearson gritted his teeth. "You''re not dead, so how could I be?"


    Kevin Adams clicked his tongue, "Seems like I went too easy on youst time. If I''d known better, I should''ve just pped you to death."


    "You!" I could see Pearson''s face turn white with rage, and his fists clenched tight.


    Ignoring him, Kevin kept mocking, "This isn''t a ce for you guys toe to. You want to get thisrge spiritual stone mine too? You don''t even have a single Martial Saint. What gives you the right? You''d better hurry home and get some sleep."


    "Go to hell!" Zora Solomon exploded and threw a punch at Kevin Adams!


    Kevin immediately raised his hand to block it, and when their fists crashed together, it made a booming sound that shook the earth!


    "You loser, you dare to fight me?!" Kevin''s face darkened as he spoke.


    "Screw you! If it wasn''t for your dirty tricks, I wouldn''t have lost to you!" Zora yelled angrily.


    "If you''re not satisfied, let''s go at it again!"


    Kevin narrowed his eyes. "Fine, if you want to die, I won''t stop you!"
