In the middle of a vast dark green grassland, a white train slowly moved forward along the tracks. It was like a green handkerchief with a white line in the middle.
In a carriage in the middle of the train, the dark space was almost sealed. Only a faint white light shone in from both sides.
A one-eyed man with waist-length hair was standing quietly in the dark.
"Siewald once told me that if I give up on my eyes, I will get a wider world."
The man spoke softly as if he was talking to himself. His left eye was covered by a black eyepatch. The dark golden pupil in his right eye was reflecting a faint light.
"My heart will tell me what the higher realm I want to pursue is …" he said in a strange way.
"Andrela." With a bang, the door of the carriage was opened. A white-haired old man with green eyes stood at the door. "Are you still trying to understand? You have been a Grandmaster of Combat for more than a year. You don't have to prepare so much for an ordinary guy. "
"It's okay. Don't underestimate any opponent. This is my principle. "A gentle smile appeared on Andrela's face.
"Your specialty is your speed and penetrating power. It's the perfect counter to Garon's strength. No matter how you look at it, you have a higher chance of winning." The old man shook his head. "Forget it. Do whatever you want. Oh yeah, the refined iron blocks you asked for are here. "He turned around and left without closing the door.
Soon, more than ten people carried in five black metal blocks and arranged them in front of Andrela, forming a straight line.
Each of the metal blocks was made of refined iron. They were very hard and were about half the height of a person.
After putting down the metal blocks, the rest of the people left the carriage quietly and closed the door softly.
Andrela slowly pulled out the thin sword at his waist.
Swoosh!
A silver line flashed in the dark.
A round hole appeared in the middle of the five metal blocks. The round hole pierced through all five of the refined iron blocks. The edge of the hole was round and smooth, and it was faintly red.
The air was slowly filled with heat. It was the residual heat from the high-speed penetration of the iron blocks.
Andrela looked at the metal blocks calmly. No one knew what he was thinking. He was slowly absorbed in it.
Outside the door.
The green-eyed elder from before stood by the window of the carriage, quietly watching the scenery of the grassland passing by at high speed. Behind him stood a woman in a scarlet dress.
"Although we have confidence in Andrela, we still have to make the best preparations just in case. Are the people from Manuyllton Company ready? "
"Yes, I'm ready to send back the message. He must have gained the trust of that little guy from the White Cloud Gate. "The woman in the red dress replied in a low voice.
"That's good. Let them prepare to take action. Use the medicine in batches. This medicine can be concealed for three days, which is the time we will arrive. And there would be no sign of it afterward. There was no room for error this time. Defeating the White Cloud Gate was a small matter. The main problem was the old man at the July Gate. Andrela could not afford to waste too much of his energy. It's a pity that I'm too old and can't go on stage myself. Otherwise, I could pave the way for him first. That would make things easier for him. "The old man sighed regretfully.
"You've done enough." The woman said softly.

"Ge Reese? Why are you following me? "
At the train station in Dinah City, there were a lot of people coming and going at the waiting area.
Garon frowned as he looked at Ge Reese in front of him. She had her head down and was carrying a black handbag in both hands. She was dressed like a university student on a trip. Bai Mao's shirt and white jeans accentuated her perky breasts and long, tight legs. Her long platinum hair was casually draped over her shoulders with a black headband in the middle. She had changed from her usual calm and seductive style to a pure and slightly sexy temperament.
"I just want to follow you …" Ge Reese replied calmly. "After all, you need someone to help you with some of your daily tasks."
"Have you arranged for the rest?" Garon rubbed his temples helplessly.
"Yes."
"Then let's go."
Garon was speechless. Since she had followed him, he could not chase her away.
According to the address given by Rampas, the two found a carriage and negotiated the travel fee. They got on and rushed directly to the July Group's headquarters.
When they arrived at the headquarters building, there were already people waiting in front of the building. As the local tyrant, the July Gate's intelligence network was very strong. Garon was discovered as soon as he arrived.
The person led Garon and Ge Reese directly into the building. Without any delay, they found Rampas, who was practicing his Secret Techniques.
"I thought Brother Garon would come earlier. I didn't expect you to be so late." Rampas walked out of the room with a Bai Mao scarf draped over his shoulders. She sat across from Garen, and a waiter served a fragrant cup of milk coffee.
"Why isn't this lady sitting?" Rampas glanced at Ge Reese. He did not know her relationship with Garon.
"It's okay. I'll just stand," Ge Reese declined politely. She stood quietly behind Garon and insisted on not sitting down.
Waving the waiter away, Rampas sat up straight and took a big gulp of coffee. Compared to when he was escaping, he now had a lot more confidence and the relaxed calmness of a host.
"I'm sorry, Brother Garon. The rest of the elders in the gate are busy entertaining the Gate Masters and representatives from the other sects. Most of the Southern Twelve Gates' power is now concentrated at July Gate, so they don't have time to entertain you. You just saved my life, and we're familiar with each other, so I'll be the one to entertain you. I hope you don't mind, "Rampas explained apologetically.
"It's okay. Hospitality is just a formality. I don't really care at such a critical time. " Garon smiled. "It's just that I'm here this time to borrow some low-level Secret Technique collections from July Gate. It just so happens that I've been in a lot of fights on my way back. I want to see if I can look up some other Secret Techniques to expand my martial arts direction. "
"Secret Techniques …" Rampas looked troubled. "Brother Garon, you know that Secret Techniques, even low-level ones, are the foundation of a sect. I'm afraid I can't make the decision."
"If you have any conditions, just say it," Garon said calmly.
"I need to ask the Elder and the Vice Gate Master. Please wait for a moment." Rampas didn't want to disappoint Garon and return empty-handed. After all, he had seen Garon's powerful strength with his own eyes along the way. Befriending such a Secret Technique Master with such great potential was the only choice. Especially in a crisis like this.
"Then I'll wait for you here." Garon took a sip of coffee.
"Okay. I'll be right back. "Rampas stood up and hurried away from the side door.

"He's just a junior. Since he escorted the Gate Master back, let him get a little reward and leave quickly. Now all the small sects are coming to us asking for support. Support, support. Isn't it just money? Does our July Group's money just fall from the sky? Just a few words and a few mouths and it's a few million? What a joke! "
"But Elder, Brother Garon isn't here for money …" Rampas frowned. He found Great Elder Karman, who was still resting in the meeting room. This Great Elder was obviously pissed off by someone and was gulping down tea.
"He doesn't want money? Then what does he want? "The Great Elder was curious and stopped immediately.
"Brother wants to look up low-level Secret Techniques …"
"What? Secret Techniques! Get him out of here!! "The Great Elder stood up, flustered and exasperated. "Get him out of here! Get out!! Secret Techniques? Is that something a small sect like the White Cloud Gate would want?!! Don't look! Don't even think about it! What's the White Cloud Gate? A third-rate sect trying to blackmail us at a time like this? Does he think we can't stop the Celestial Circle Gate without him? What a joke! Any Secret Technique from the July Gate is much stronger than his Mammoth Secret Technique! "The Great Elder was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
"Great Elder …" Rampas wanted to argue, but was immediately interrupted by the Great Elder.
"Say no more. This time, the Gate Master was seriously injured and unconscious, but you're safe and sound. You're all good! Very good! I haven't settled this score with you, and you want to plead for others? "The Great Elder got up and walked out of the door angrily. He passed through the corridor and quickly disappeared.
Rampas quickly got up and chased after him, persuading him along the way.
In another corridor connected to this one, Garon and Ge Reese walked out of the room with an unpleasant expression.
The meeting room the Great Elder was in was not far from the previous room. With his current physical fitness and the powerful hearing of a Grandmaster of Combat, he naturally heard everything clearly.
"Let's go. I thought the July Gate needed my help and we could work together to defeat the Celestial Circle Gate. I didn't expect them to not care about small sects like us," Garon said calmly. He turned and walked back the way he came.
Ge Reese followed closely behind.
Shortly after Rampas chased after them, he received news that Garon and Ge Reese had left. He immediately knew that he was in trouble. Other than hearing what they said, there was no other reason for Garon to leave without saying goodbye.
He immediately guessed that Garon must have heard the conversation in the meeting room when he didn't come back.
"Great Elder!" He couldn't hold it in anymore and suddenly roared.
The Great Elder, who was walking in front, turned around in shock.
"Are you … yelling at me?"
The more Rampas thought about it, the angrier and more aggrieved he became. He stood in the corridor with a red face and breathing heavily.
"Great Elder! Now that Senior Apprentice Brother Garon has left, are you satisfied? "
"Who gave you the guts to yell at me?" The Great Elder's face darkened. "What does it have to do with me whether he leaves or not?"
"Senior Apprentice Brother Garon saved the Gate Master and the lives of our disciples! Is this how the July Gate treats him? How great! Great! " Rampas had always thought that the Great Elder was just a little hot-tempered and had a decent personality. He didn't expect him to lose his mind and vent his anger on this matter.
"No one asked him to save them! Who asked him to save them? What a joke! Saved the Gate Master? Saved you? " The Great Elder laughed. "I told Rampas, Celestial Circle Gate is strong, but the July Gate is not to be trifled with. Even without that Garon, would they dare touch our people? Even if the Gate Master was knocked unconscious, would the Celestial Circle Gate dare touch our Gate Master? You don't know anything and you still dare to yell at me!? Do you know what the real strength of the July Gate is?! "
