The next day, early morning.
Military vehicles couldn't openly drive into Zhan Tian Academy, so Jiang Wuyuan and Ruan Kongyin went to the military headquarters in Zhan Tian City.
Zhu Shaoting was waiting at the entrance of the compound.
A small hovercraft with military license plates was parked next to her.
The black, streamlined fuselage features four exquisitely designed and imposing floating devices at the bottom.
"You've arrived." Zhu Shaoting nodded to the two of them.
Ruan Kongyin smiled and replied, "Lieutenant Zhu, we meet again."
"I was assigned to take you there today," Zhu Shaoting paused, then continued, "The plan has changed. We'll go directly to the entrance of the secret realm and meet up with the main force there."
Jiang Wuyuan and Ruan Kongyin had no objection to this.
Anyway, they don't know anyone in the military, so it doesn't matter where they meet up.
"Let's get on the plane." Zhu Shaoting opened the cabin door and gestured for the two to enter.
This type of transport aircraft is a very common mode of transportation.
It is small in size and fast in speed, but it is also very difficult to drive.
Jiang Wuyuan sat in the comfortable leather chair, watching Zhu Shaoting get into the driver's seat.
After a series of smooth operations, the transport plane took off smoothly.
The powerful propulsion system enables the machine to quickly slice through the sky.
Twenty minutes later, Jiang Wuyuan looked through the glass of the transport plane and saw a boundless mountain range.
This place is already quite far from Zhantian City.
Looking around, one sees towering mountains and lush trees.
Some mountains pierce through the clouds, standing tall under the blazing sun.
The transport plane flew over several mountains and finally landed on a relatively flat area.
The military personnel had arrived, and now the small valley was filled with hundreds of people.
Jiang Wuyuan glanced around and spotted Zhan Buhui standing among them.
That's normal, since it was Zhan Buhui who brought the key back, so he should get a share of the reward.
Seeing that Zhan Buhui seemed to be talking to someone, Jiang Wuyuan and Ruan Kongyin didn't approach.
After saying goodbye to Zhu Shaoting, the two went to a corner and stayed there quietly.
“They are mostly Martial Kings and Martial Emperors.” Ruan Kongyin glanced over and sensed them.
Jiang Wuyuan nodded in understanding: "Who are the people from the military who came this time?"
Just as Ruan Kongyin was about to answer, she saw that Zhan Buhui seemed to have seen them as well and was walking towards them.
He smiled and waved his hand at Zhan Buhui: "Let him answer for you. I'm not from the military after all, so I certainly don't know as much as he does."
Zhan Buhui quickly walked up to the two of them: "We meet again. I think I just heard you mention me?"
Ruan Kongyin chuckled: "You always have such sharp ears at times like this."
"Alright, alright." Zhan Buhui shrugged, his gaze falling on Jiang Wuyuan. "What's the problem?"
"Were the people from the military selected this time?" Jiang Wuyuan asked curiously.
These people all looked quite young, their youthful faces revealing the fortitude of soldiers and a touch of naiveté.
Zhan Buhui nodded: "It's kind of a selection process. It's mostly geniuses and big shots from the military..."
Zhan Buhui did not explicitly state his final words.
However, Jiang Wuyuan also understood that it was someone with connections.
"But don't worry, even those people were trained by their families from a young age, so they won't affect you."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Kongyin found it somewhat amusing and silently glanced at the aloof young man beside her.
If someone foolishly comes up to provoke us, they probably won't get any benefit from it.
"After we use the key to open the secret realm, we can just follow the main group in. You two aren't considered military personnel, so you don't need to hand over any rewards you get inside," Zhan Buhui continued. "By the way, be careful."
The military won't kill you, but they won't be lenient either. When they want something, they basically allocate it based on strength.
Jiang Wuyuan nodded.
This allocation method is reasonable.
After all, this world is one where strength reigns supreme; morality and bottom lines all come after strength.
Ruan Kongyin asked softly, "How much does the military know about this secret realm right now?"
A mysterious smile appeared on Zhan Buhui's lips. Just when Ruan Kongyin thought the military had investigated a lot, Zhan Buhui suddenly spoke up: "I know nothing."
"..." Ruan Kongyin was stunned by this confident answer.
"The secret realm hasn't even opened yet, how can we detect what's inside?" Zhan Buhui spread his hands. "However, I do have some guesses."
"Tell me about it," Ruan Kongyin inquired.
“In ancient times, there were many sects. Although they gradually disappeared in the Dharma-ending Age, some top sects still managed to leave behind their legacy,” Zhan Buhui said in a low voice. “According to the results of the research conducted by the people above, this ancient secret realm may have come from two ancient major sects.”
Which two?
"Dao Tian Sect and Misty Peak."
Ruan Kongyin recalled briefly.
He had seen Daotian Sect in some of his family's top-secret documents, but he knew nothing about Misty Peak.
“It’s normal that you don’t know,” Zhan Buhui shrugged. “It’s a very mysterious sect, even the higher-ups know very little about it. But it’s said to be a very powerful sect.”
"Are there any preferences regarding the inheritance?"
"The Dao Tian Sect is easy to talk about. They mainly train mages and are quite good at combat, so their lineage in this area should be quite good. As for Misty Peak, they didn't mention it, probably because the information is incomplete and they know too little."
Jiang Wuyuan seemed to be deep in thought.
It seems that the powerful figures in the Dragon Kingdom possess far more information than he had imagined.
