Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 718: Chapter 718: The Method to Unlock the Mystic Realm

The solemn promise of the man with the mustache increased Ethan Smith’s worries.

“So, he has a better constitution than humans.” Ethan Smith said somberly.

The man with the mustache waved his hand and said, “Not necessarily. Some special human cultivators are not worse off than the Heaven Swallowing Python.”

“Like you, for example, if you two were in the same rank, it would still be unclear how things would turn out.”

Ethan Smith laughed and said, “I don’t need to be in the same rank. As long as I step into the late-term Military Marquis realm, I will not be afraid of the Heaven Swallowing Python.”

“I won’t argue with that,” said the man with the mustache, spreading his hands.

“Enough about that.” Ethan Smith changed the subject and continued asking, “Do you know how to open the Mystic Realm?”

The man with the mustache shook his head and said, “If I knew how to open the Mystic Realm, I wouldn’t need to come here.”

Ethan Smith frowned.

Unexpectedly, even the man with the mustache did not know about the Mystic Realm.

“Alright, don’t talk to me these next few days; I don’t want to be involved,” the man with the mustache muttered.

After leaving these words, he walked away briskly.

After walking a short distance, the man with the mustache suddenly stopped and asked, “Where’s the little girl who’s with you?”

“Little girl?” Ethan Smith was stunned.

“Are you talking about Clare Richardson?”

The man with the mustache nodded and said, “Yes, the people of the Ice Palace are targeting her; why didn’t you bring her here?”

Ethan Smith was silent for a moment.

It made sense for the man with the mustache to say that since this was Capital City Martial Arts Association territory, the Ice Palace likely wouldn’t dare to be bold here.

“I’ll go back and get her now,” Ethan Smith said.

Just as Ethan Smith 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.”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The words were extremely brief, with just a few characters.

Ethan Smith didn’t give it much thought and immediately headed towards the square.

On the square, people were already gathered.

Emerson Holmes and Ms. Hayward were already standing at the front.

“Why are they suddenly calling us to gather? Is there something going on?” Frederick Cohen furrowed his brows.

Ethan Smith shook his head and said, “I’m not sure.”

About ten minutes later, Ms. Hayward finally spoke.

She looked at everyone and said indifferently, “I believe you have all heard about the Mystic Realm. As the leader of the martial arts world, we will naturally make the controlled Mystic Realm public.”

Upon hearing these words, nearly everyone present became excited.

Ethan Smith squinted his eyes and waited for Ms. Hayward’s next words.

Ms. Hayward 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!” Frederick Cohen 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 Ethan Smith remained silent.

“Half a month?”

Ethan Smith furrowed his brows.

That number seemed somewhat familiar.

A moment later, Ethan Smith suddenly remembered something.

He took out his 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. Hayward, Ethan Smith suddenly became a little suspicious.

Could it be… did Ms. Hayward 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 could not 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?” Ethan Smith furrowed his brows.

Gazing at Ms. Hayward, he shouted, “Who will be leading the team to the Mystic Realm?”

Ms. Hayward gave Ethan Smith a cold glance and said, “President Holmes and the three purple robes will lead the team.”

“What about you?” Ethan Smith continued to ask.

Ms. Hayward stared coldly at Ethan Smith and said, “Do I need to report everything I do to you?”

After saying this, she snorted coldly and no longer paid attention to Ethan Smith.

Ethan Smith touched his chin and said quietly, “This… doesn’t seem like a coincidence.”

This put Ethan Smith in a dilemma for a moment.

He was curious about the Mystic Realm.

Although he had been to the Halcroen 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 Ethan Smith!

As long as he could obtain the ten-thousand-year-old medicinal herb, Ethan Smith could step into the late-term Military Marquis realm and even reach the peak!

Once he stepped into the late-term realm, the Capital City Martial Arts Association would be like an uninhabited territory for Ethan Smith!

Furthermore, Ethan Smith 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, Ethan Smith finally decided to give up this Mystic Realm trip and focus on the ten-thousand-year-old medicinal herb emergence.

After the meeting, Ethan Smith found the man with the mustache.

He grabbed the man who was about to run away and said solemnly, “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.”

Ethan Smith was not 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 and said, “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?” Ethan Smith frowned.

The man with the mustache shook his head and said, “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.”

Ethan Smith 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 would not be able to deal with them.

“It seems I can only rely on myself,” Ethan Smith thought.

The man with the mustache grabbed Ethan Smith’s arm and asked, “Do you have another bad idea?”

Ethan Smith 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,” Ethan Smith 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.
