Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 897: Chapter 897: Arrival of the Top Mystic Realm Master

Looking from the outside, the Spiritual Spring was seemingly wider, and the qi within was becoming denser.

Spike Schneider exited the Mystic Realm.

As soon as he stepped out, he was greeted with a sharp, blood-filled odor.

This scent of bloodshed overpowered the qi radiating from the Spiritual Spring.

The accumulation of numerous corpses added an unsettling dark energy to the Green Moon Villa.

The dark energy and the Spiritual Spring counteracted each other, unintentionally making the spring less noticeable.

...

“This…” Looking at the scene before him, even the mentally prepared Spike Schneider could not help but feel a flicker of horror cross his face.

The vast Green Moon Villa had alarmingly turned into a purgatory realm for mortals!

The sight of exposed bones, human skin, and dried blood on the ground all indicated that a disaster had taken place.

Moreover, the corpses scattered everywhere had met gruesome ends: skinned, bone extracted, deep-fried, abused to death, and so on.

Upon seeing this, Spike Schneider’s face grew even paler.

This sight was far beyond his imagination.

“The Green Moon Villa… total death…” Spike Schneider murmured to himself.

He wanted to leave after taking just one look, but the grim scene invoked a sense of worry in him.

After much thought, Spike Schneider finally decided to investigate further.

…

More than three months had already passed.

Over the past few months, Pyro’s world of martial arts had undergone significant transformations.

Many se, fueled by the presence of Martial Saints, had become the real upper echelons of the era.

To maintain tight control over them, the Capital City Martial Arts Association convened numerous meetings.

This left Marc Fraley overwhelmed, leaving it up to Star to find Ethan while he handled the coordination of these sects.

“We’re severely understaffed.” Marc Fraely knitted his brows.

“We must bring more people out of the Second Secret Realm.”

Channing, standing nearby, nodded, “Yes, apart from that, we should also practice the carrot and stick approach with them to avoid any complications.”

Marc looked at Channing, “You mean to say the Capital City Martial Arts Association needs to share its benefits?”

“Not just sharing benefits, but with a generous hand.” Channing took a deep breath.

Marc fell silent for a moment, seemingly mulling over something.

After a while, Marc nodded, “Fine, let’s do as you suggested, and also, we must conscript newcomers now.”

The purple-robed members of the Capital City Martial Arts Association had been killed off by Ethan Smith completely, resulting in a scarcity of personnel.

Thus, under Marc’s leadership, the process of conscripting newcomers began.

…

On the other hand, Spike visited all the places where troubles could have occurred, such as Capital City and Divine Alchemist Pavilion.

Upon learning that seven Martial Saints were currently searching for Ethan, Spike couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath.

“Seven Martial Saints… they sure are throwing their weight around.” Spike sighed.

Spike spent a full two days investigating the changes over these three months. On the third day, he planned to return to the Mystic Realm.

When he rushed to the Green Moon Villa, he tiptoed towards the Spiritual Spring cautiously.

The spring turned blood red, and although it contained qi, it was tainted with a strong stench of bloodshed.

“With seven Martial Saints on guard, Ethan will have to hide well.” Spike thought to himself.

Just as he was about to open the Secret Realm Entrance, two individuals suddenly appeared nearby.

These two exuded a formidable aura, indicating that they were at the peak form of the Military Marquis Realm!

At this moment, they were staring at Spike, their eyes filled with caution.

“Who are you and what are you doing here?” They looked at Spike with cold, wary eyes.

A slight change crossed Spike’s face but he repressed the panic in his heart and smirked, “I heard there was a massacre here, so I wanted to see if I could scavenge some treasures…”

“Treasures?” The two exchanged a look, then scoffed, “Even if there were any left, they would not be for you. They’ve all been taken by young master Jonathan Wright.”

“Jonathan Wright? Which Jonathan Wright?” Spike asked tentatively.

“Of course, we’re talking about Tyler Wright! You dare to look for treasures here without even knowing who that is?” The two men sneered.

Spike nodded thoughtfully.

“If you have no business here, then leave. Outsiders are not allowed in.” The pair gestured dismissively.

Rushing, Spike nodded, “Alright, I’ll go, I’m going now…”

Under such circumstances, Spike was unable to enter the Mystic Realm and was forced to leave.

“Huh? There seems to be a qi source inside.” At that moment, one of them noticed something strange about the Spiritual Spring.

“This qi… it seems like it’s coming from up ahead.”

“This is the Great Saint Sect’s Spiritual Spring, I’ve heard of it before.”

“Alright, enough gazing, Lord Peterson will inspect this place tomorrow, we should just focus on our duties.”

The two chatted quietly, but Spike could still clearly hear every word.

After several days of probing, Spike knew exactly who Lord Peterson was.

That was a legendary Mystic Realm Master! He held tens of thousands of mystic keys!

His name was known to every Mystic Realm Master loud and clear!

“This is bad, if Bruno Peterson comes, he will definitely notice something strange about this place.” Spike realized with a sinking heart.

“With his skills, opening this place will be as effortless as a snap of his fingers…”
