Chapter 1025: Chapter 780: Scholar Level 31, Schemes from All Sides

As the man spoke these words, the men and women gathered behind him exchanged glances, then all nodded in unison and said.

"Understood."

After finishing their words, the group swiftly vanished from the scene, heading down the mountain, leaving the man alone at the peak, gazing at the cliffs below.

A few minutes later, another person arrived at the mountain peak.

An elderly man, wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat, carrying a fishing rod and a basket, approached the man slowly.

The old man placed the fishing rod and basket neatly beside him, sat cross-legged nearby, and took out a fish from the basket, handing it to the man.

"This is fresh catch, would you like to try some? It can give you a big boost."

As these words fell, the man looked at the old man with disdain and said.

"Don’t waste time with these inferior goods. You came here for a reason, so just get to the point."

The old man’s hand holding the fish froze for a moment, a flash of anger in his eyes.

He put the fish back into the basket, closed the lid, and then took a cigarette from his waist, puffing on it softly.

"Indeed, I sensed a powerful world contending against ours. The longer they contend, the stronger the ones coming in will be. Will it eventually change our current situation?"

The old man spoke slowly, puffing on the cigarette as he talked,

Smoke spiraled out from the cigarette, forming circle after circle.

Hearing this, the man’s hand on his knee tightened slightly, causing a wrinkle in his clothing,

"Then, according to your view, what should we do?"

Not to mention, this old man, although not the strongest in their world, claims to see through the secrets of the heavens,

The key point is, everything he has prophesied seems to have come true, which is why the middle-aged man asked this question.

The old man shook his head, flicking the ashes of his cigarette onto the ground.

"If I could calculate it, I wouldn’t have come to find you. This time, after sensing that anomaly, I tried to calculate their identity, their background, and their purpose here."

"But unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything. Because of the confrontation between the two worlds, their world erased the secrets of the heavens. No matter how skilled I am, I’m helpless against it."

At this, the old man touched the water emblem on his hat and refrained from saying more.

He felt he had already said all he could, and saying more wouldn’t affect the current situation.

The middle-aged man also fell into a long silence.

He truly wanted a solution. After all, the current situation was extremely dangerous. No world had dared to confront this Mysterious World for a very long time.

"If we truly can’t find any clues about them, we’ll have to wait until they actually enter this world to look for their location and situation."

The old man removed his hat, smoothing down the warped parts.

"What you say isn’t wrong, but preparations must be made ahead of time."

The only solution now is what the middle-aged man suggested; there are no other ideas. They must follow this method.

However, in the old man’s view, every plan needs proper preparation to succeed.

His words served as a reminder since, after all, they were all in the same boat now.

If anyone dared to act recklessly, the consequences would be disastrous enough to cause serious harm.

The middle-aged man nodded and said.

"Rest assured, I will do my best. After all, this concerns our survival. We will make time to resolve the issues you just mentioned."

After this exchange, everything that needed to be said was clear, with no need to continue.

Quickly, the old man lifted his feet, took the fishing basket and rod, and walked down the mountain.

Soon, only the middle-aged man remained.

The middle-aged man looked at the white clouds in the sky, felt the wind from the depths of the cliff, and his sitting figure gradually faded away.

"We’ll speak of everything once there’s news. For now, let’s focus on the pressing tasks at hand."

The mountain peak fell silent once more.

...

While the mountain peak was silent, forces in various locations throughout the Mysterious World.

In places where there was power, people were actively gathering information about the world contending with the Mysterious World.

The information spread rapidly, as if sprouting wings.

And as the information spread, the river where the White Snake King resided had already gathered more than a dozen figures.

Each of these people had distinct features.

Some had a single horn, some had a pair of wings, and some looked simply human.

They stood by the river, waiting patiently.

After about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, a faint whirlpool appeared on the river’s surface.

The whirlpool was small at first, but as time passed, it grew larger, and in just a few breaths, it turned into a gigantic whirlpool.
