Chapter 511 - Chairman Zhaos Resignation (1/2)

”What is it?” Yuan asked the old man.

”I am surnamed Wu, and I would like to confirm something… Are you really a Spirit Master?” The old man asked him.

”What do you think?”

The old man showed a slight smile on his face before releasing his cultivation base, and to Yuan's surprise, he was also a Spirit Master!

'There are already other Spirit Masters beside me in this world?' Yuan thought to himself.

”Although I cannot see your face, I can tell that you're surprised by my cultivation base. You must be wondering how this is possible. If you visit my family at Mount Wu, I will tell you everything.”

And before Yuan could even respond, the old man continued, ”Don't worry, I am not related to Chairman Zhao, so whatever happened between you and him has nothing to do with me or my family. I came here today to see if the Cultivators' Association was worth my family's backing, but from the looks of it, we will have to reconsider some things.”

”Hey, Old Wu, let's not try to pull a fast one before everyone here, or have you forgotten about our presence?” Another old man suddenly stepped forward and bowed to Yuan with his hands clasped.

”My surname is Zhi, and I am also a Spirit Master.” The old man surnamed Zhi then released his Spirit Master cultivation base, surprising Yuan even more.

”Forget about Mount Wu. Come to my Mount Zhi instead. You won't regret it.”

Then another person stepped forward— an old woman.

”Instead of fighting amongst ourselves, why don't we all cooperate together?” The old woman suggested.

She approached Yuan and said, ”Surnamed Wang from the Wang Family. If you want to know how we reached Spirit Master and more about cultivation in general, come to the Jaded Garden situated outside the Yang City. We'll be more than happy to befriend a young genius such as yourself. If you're worried about your identity being revealed, I will let you know that we're really good at keeping secrets.”

The old woman then leaned over his shoulders and whispered in a low voice that could only be heard by Yuan, ”After all, we have managed to keep cultivation a secret from the rest of the world for many centuries…”

Yuan's body trembled after hearing the old woman's words.

They kept cultivation a secret from the rest of the world for many centuries? Does this mean that they have known about cultivation even way before Cultivation Online existed? If so, that explains why they were Spirit Masters.

”See you there in a month…” The old woman said to him before turning around and walking back to Chairman Zhao.

”Chairman Zhao, you have a lot of explaining to do for us. And don't you even dare think about lying to us because we will investigate the truth ourselves afterward.”

Chairman Zhao, who was supposed to be an almighty figure, nodded his head in a powerless manner before the old woman and the other elders that were clearly more influential than Chairman Zhao.

Yuan lingered in the place for a few more moments before finally leaving the Cultivator's Association with Meifeng.

Although the people there wanted to follow him, they didn't dare to do so and reluctantly stayed behind.

”Young Master… you nearly scared me to death just now! I'm shocked that we even got to leave that place in one piece!” Meifeng sighed sometime later.

”I'm sorry. I got a little angry and my body started moving on its own.” Yuan said to her, his hands still trembling a little.
