A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 960 - 946: The Relic Opens

The man leading the Hermit Order walked into the room, glanced around, then found a seat on the sofa.

"You're late, Mike."

The woman holding a wine glass stood up elegantly, a hint of amusement in her eyes: "The times for the Hermit Order lately must be tough, right? Both the East Victory Imperial and the Great Yan Imperial should be striking at the Hermit Order."

"The Holy Light Church and the Church of Serenity both regard your Hermit Order as a primary target."

The man sat down calmly, his tone steady: "No need for the Countess to worry, our situation is still manageable. The two Empires have been trying to eradicate us for years, yet it hasn't yielded any results."

"That's good."

The Countess put down her wine glass, sitting at the main seat of the sofa encircling the table, looking at the others.

Bloodthirsty Mike of the Hermit Order.

Mike Tea of Life's Ardor.

The Frank brothers of the Steel Front.

And the Night Owl Pirate King from the Infinite Sea, one of seven pirate kings roaming the ocean. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Only these fearless pirates dare to sail in the seas today. They grew up living at sea, familiar with everything there, including various terrifying Exotic Beasts.

These factions are almost the most powerful forces surrounding the Free Federation.

The Countess, able to gather so many notorious figures, naturally isn't a pushover. She sat on the sofa and spoke in a deep voice, "You all have come here, presumably aware of the happenings tonight, right? Machima is coming out. This Demon Hunter, many don't want her dead, but we should let her leave this world peacefully."

Mike Tea said, "I don't care about her, and now the Federation's army has Wansheng Prison completely surrounded. Anyone who goes in will only sink deeper. You know we're here for another matter, one that can change the Free Federation."

The others turned, paying attention.

The Countess laughed, "Alright, since you're all so eager, I won't keep secrets. Tonight the relic might open. This relic pertains to ancient history, the era of the Stone Origin God."

It was a time when the land was wild.

And the Divine Spirits of that era, powerful, terrifying, left relics filled with treasures ensuring a meteoric rise.

Everyone present.

If we join forces, we're certain to gain immense rewards from this relic's opening."

The Countess looked at the well-known figures present, believing this action would likely be successful. Especially with Machima's breakout and Changzhi Shuyuan's death, these events have distracted attention, giving them more room to operate.

Mike Tea on the sofa said coldly, "Countess, what about your vampires? How will the gains within the relic be distributed?"

The Countess said, "Am I such an unreasonable person? What we gain will be divided per head, one share per person. But if many in the team are dissatisfied with the distribution, we can amend.

Since it's a cooperation.

We should discuss."

Hearing this, the others gave no opinion.

"Where will the relic open?"

At this moment.

The large and small brothers sitting on the sofa simultaneously asked.

The Frank brothers of the Steel Front are among the most active leaders in the organization.

Night Owl, wearing a pirate hat, also said, "The main issue now is how to access the relic. Here is Central City, the heart of the Free Federation's territory. Getting into the city safely has already required significant effort. Countess, doesn't your vampire clan have deep roots in the Free Federation? Such a task shouldn't be hard for you, right?"

The Countess was completely unconcerned: "Once the relic truly opens, Central City will be too busy to bother us. Tonight a major disturbance is inevitable. Machima is not to be trifled with. The families who plotted against her, once she's out, you think she won't go after them?"

Upon hearing.

It seemed quite reasonable.

Everyone agreed that they should act when the time is right; missing this chance would mean who knows when it would return again.

However.

Just as the group was discussing the details.

A member of the Steel Front ran in and whispered something into the Frank brothers' ears, immediately causing them to change expressions.

"Countess, we have something to handle."

The dwarf stood on the giant's shoulder, addressing the alluring Countess.

"What's happened? In Central City, I can still be quite helpful. If there's anything tricky to solve, you can tell me," the Countess said with a smile.

The Frank brothers shook their heads.

"Just a subordinate encountering some trouble; we're going over to resolve it, no need to trouble yourself," they said.

The Frank brothers stood together and left the room.

...

On another side.

After bidding farewell to the Inspector, Baiyu arrived outside Wansheng Plaza.

As expected.

Heavily guarded, not even a mosquito could fly through.

Since Baiyu was posing as special ops, he didn't dare to get closer.

"It seems this place is relatively safe. With demons rampant in the city, no one's coming here to cause trouble," Baiyu thought to himself.

However.

He didn't expect that just upon arrival, a battle had erupted inside Wansheng Prison.

Though it couldn't be seen on the surface, Baiyu could feel the air filled with clashing Spirituality.

There must be a fierce battle raging below.

"Better not join the chaos; ensuring a safe return to the Great City by dawn is the priority," Baiyu thought.

However.

Suddenly, the sky roiled, the stars shifting, a gigantic black hole swirling amidst the clouds, pulling all surrounding clouds into it.

Everyone in Central City.

Could see this enormous spectacle at a glance.

From it, Baiyu felt an unusually familiar aura, a Blessed Land.

This was clearly a sign of a Blessed Land opening, but unlike the previous Blessed Land in the Great City, its entrance was in the sky.

Such an ostentatious entrance.

It cannot be concealed.

Instantly, the whole city was in an uproar.

The military's movement tonight had already shaken many sensitive nerves, let alone the appearance of this sight.

Upon the black hole's appearance.

A massive shadow around it slowly wriggled.

It was a gigantic snake-like being, with seven mountain-sized snake heads, each bearing seven more heads, looking densely packed and extremely grotesque.
