“Jeager, doctor,” ordered Zeke at once. “Wait at Devonville Restricted Zone. Sole Wolf, go with them and stand guard. Tyler, Nameless, come with me to search for the spiritual land.”

Sole Wolf appeared dissatisfied. “Zeke, let me go with you instead. Tyler can stay behind.”

“Don't even dare think about leaving me behind, you little sh*t,” Tyler muttered as he ran aimlessly toward the opposite direction. “I'm well versed in the finer things in life, Great Marshal. I am sure that my expertise would be greatly useful to you.”

“Master Collins,” Missy reminded gently. “You're going in the wrong direction.”

After Tyler had managed to reorient his bearings, he followed Nameless, Zeke, and Missy in search of the spiritual land.

The old doctor gazed affectionately at his grandson. “Jeager, has the Great Marshal solved the problem of the examination for you?”

Jeager nodded. “He has not only solved it for me, grandpa. The solution he provided was the breakthrough that we needed. Even the candidates for the next few generations would find it useful.”

“What do you mean, Jeager?” the old doctor asked in confusion.


“To tell you the truth,” Sole Wolf chimed in, “Zeke had managed to achieve this feat by slaying the Regent, imprisoning the Thirty-Four Templars, the Three Inspectors, the Six Superintendents, and even dissolving the Four Great Martial Houses. As you are well aware, these are the forces that control the martial arts examination.”

What?

The old doctor stood frozen as he stared at Sole Wolf in disbelief.

The Regent and his men are in control of the martial arts scene. Just like that, Zeke had managed to clean the slate for the future of Eurasia!

Meanwhile, Missy led the party toward the northwest.

After half a day of walking, Zeke realized that they had been heading in the direction of the Carter sect.

Tyler too became aware of that.

“Great Marshal,” he asked gingerly. “Is it possible for the spiritual land we are seeking to be within the walls of the Carter sect?”

Zeke nodded. “It definitely is.”

“I beg to differ, Great Marshal,” Nameless said at once.

The other three gazed curiously at Nameless's surprising proclamation.

“As a servant to the Carters for half my life,” Nameless explained, “I have never seen a trace of a spiritual land within those walls.”
