Chapter 762: I Have a Suggestion!

The shadowy figure was none other than City Governor Zhao.

Although Shen Qi had ultimately chosen to side with Ye Guan, City Governor Zhao still didn't want to support Ye Guan, as he had already investigated the Guanxuan Civilization.

The Guanxuan Universe had taken over many worlds and was among the top powers in the vast expanse, but its overall strength was still too weak.

In his eyes, the Guanxuan Civilization couldn't possibly beat the Forest Civilization.

The entire Forest Civilization was terrifying beyond measure, after all.

Ye Guan had two powerful backers: his grandfather and his aunt. However, how strong could they possibly be?

So what if they were at a hundred percent divinity? The Forest Civilization had more than two experts at a hundred percent divinity, and they also definitely had experts above that cultivation realm.

Having weighed the pros and cons, City Governor Zhao chose to stand with the Forest Civilization.

After Ye Guan's departure, the teleportation array trembled violently, and waves of terrifying energy surged out of it.

City Governor Zhao looked at the teleportation array, becoming excited and thrilled.

The legendary Forest Civilization was back!

Boom!

The teleportation array transformed into a massive gate made out of light. The gate was thousands of meters in length and width.

A middle-aged man in white robes walked out slowly from the gate, and the silhouette of many people could be seen behind him.

When the white-robed middle-aged man stepped out of the gate, he took a deep breath and spread his arms wide. "Finally, we're back."

As more and more people appeared behind the white-robed middle-aged man, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

"Watch out—" he exclaimed, but a terrifying explosion from underneath him interrupted him. Tens of thousands of mushroom clouds pervaded the air immediately afterward.

City Governor Zhao was stunned by the sight, but a defeaning boom echoed as the explosions reached and engulfed him at once.

City Governor Zhao's fate was unknown.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man wielding a long spear retreated frantically upon sensing the danger, and he managed to avoid getting hit by the massive blast.

The entire Shenxu Forest was reduced to ashes in an instant.

Fortunately, Little Ai had already evacuated the denizens of the Shenxu Forest, so no innocent people were harmed.

The tens of thousands of mushroom clouds and the furious flames from the explosions lasted for a long time.

In the end, a mysterious force swept across the forest—now desert, and the mushroom clouds and flames slowly vanished.

The white-robed middle-aged man emerged from the clouds, and his face was extremely grim.

There were hundreds of corpses behind him.

The white-robed middle-aged man roared, "Yu Wenzhi!"

A middle-aged man appeared in front of the white-robed middle-aged man. The former was none other than Ye Guan's opponent earlier.

The white-robed man glared at Yu Wenzhi with killing intent in his eyes. "Why did you not inform me that there was an ambush here?"

Yu Wenzhi's face was also grim. He hadn't expected Ye Guan to set up an ambush here.

"I've made a mistake, Ming Jun."

Ming Jun glared coldly at Yu Wenzhi before looking around. Suddenly, he frowned and stretched his hand out.

Boom!

The spacetime a thousand meters away turned illusory, and a middle-aged man was forced out moments later.

The middle-aged man was none other than City Governor Zhao!

At the critical juncture, he tore open a rift in spacetime and hid in an independent space. His actions allowed him to escape certain death, but he was still seriously injured.

Ming Jun looked at City Governor Zhao and asked, "City Governor Zhao?"

City Governor Zhao hurriedly replied, "Ming Jun, it's me."

Ming Jun was expressionless as he asked, "Where is your master?"

City Governor Zhao hesitated for a moment before saying, "She left with Ye Guan."

Ming Jun's brow furrowed. "She chose to side with the Guanxuan Civilization?"

City Governor Zhao nodded.

Ming Jun sneered, "Ridiculous."

City Governor Zhao didn't dare to speak.

Although Ming Jun was a ninety percent divinity cultivator like him, City Governor Zhao knew that he was no match for the former.

Ming Jun's accumulated divinity was without any impurities, after all.

Soon, more and more people from the Forest Civilization emerged from behind Ming Jun.

"Tell me about this Guanxuan Universe," Ming Jun said. At first, he hadn't taken the Guanxuan Universe[1] seriously, but it seemed that they couldn't be underestimated at all.

Not only were they daring enough to oppose the Forest Civilization, but they also had the ability to kill experts with ninety percent accumulated divinity!

City Governor Zhao hurriedly spoke.

After a while, Ming Jun narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do they really have two full divinity experts?"

"Yes, I think so," City Governor Zhao said, nodding. "The swordsman in blue and the lady in a plain skirt. However, I'm not sure whether they're actually full divinity experts. I only know that ordinary ninety percent divinity experts are no match for them."

Ming Jun fell silent. If they were indeed full divinity experts, then the Forest Civilization had to take them seriously. Cultivators at that level had to be respected.

"But... I'm leaning more on the possibility that they're not full divinity experts," City Governor Zhao added.

Ming Jun retracted his thoughts and looked at City Governor Zhao. "Why do you say that?"

City Governor Zhao said solemnly, "Throughout the history of this vast expanse, only one person has ever accumulated a hundred percent divinity, and it was the First God. He died a long time ago, but everyone still knows his name. However, I've never heard of that lady in a plain skirt or that blue-robed swordsman. I investigated them but found nothing. If they're indeed full divinity experts, how come they're still unknown?"

Ming Jun countered, "If that's the case, then how come Ye Guan is confident enough to oppose our Forest Civilization?"

City Governor Zhao was silent for a few moments before saying, "Perhaps it's out of ignorance."

Ming Jun frowned. "Ignorance?"

"Yes," City Governor Zhao said, "Ye Guan probably can't understand the true strength of the Forest Civilization, and I assume it's because a ninety percent divinity expert is already a top-tier supreme elite. In that case, it's not strange that he doesn't take the Forest Civilization seriously at all. Moreover, he's also very young; he's not even thirty years of age yet. He's also the son of a powerful expert, so it's only natural for him to be arrogant enough to think that he's more powerful than anyone else out there."

Ming Jun stared at City Governor Zhao and asked, "Do you have a grudge against him?"

City Governor Zhao was taken aback.

Ming Jun calmly said, "Someone capable of leading a civilization cannot be as incompetent as you say. There's a chance that he's not aware of the Forest Civilization's true strength, but he surely knows that we have experts at a hundred percent divinity. So the fact that he still decided to oppose us means that he's either a fool or has nothing to fear at all."

Ming Jun stared at City Governor Zhao and asked, "Do you think he's a fool?"

City Governor Zhao's face was ugly, but he dared not speak.

"However, there has to be a full divinity expert among them, and it could be either the lady in the plain skirt or the blue-robed swordsman. Perhaps even the two of them are full divinity experts."

"Two full divinity experts?" City Governor Zhao was astonished. "That seems unlikely..."

Ming Jun calmly replied, "Why not?"

City Governor Zhao solemnly said, "If that's the case, then how come we haven't heard of them until now?"

"You don't think they're full divinity experts just because they're not famous?" Ming Jun asked, shaking his head.

City Governor Zhao had no idea what to say.

"One more thing, City Governor Zhao. do you know why your master suddenly chose to side with the Guanxuan Civilization?" Ming Jun asked.

"I think it's because she has gone mad."

"No," Ming Jun replied, shaking his head. "I think you're the lunatic here."

City Governor Zhao was dumbfounded.

Ming Jun calmly said, "Your master knows some of the secrets of the Forest Civilization, but she still chose to stand with the Guanxuan Civilization. Why? It's all because she believes that they can contend with us."

"Indeed," Ming Jun added with a chuckle. "I must say, this Guanxuan Civilization has piqued my interest."

City Governor Zhao remained silent. He had investigated the Guanxuan Universe. Its overall strength was certainly far inferior to the Forest Civilization, and there were only two variables—the lady in the plain skirt and the blue-robed swordsman. If those two were full divinity experts, then the Guanxuan Civilization could truly compete with the Forest Civilization, albeit barely, as the overall gap between the two was still too great for two experts to narrow.

Yu Wenzhi chimed in, "Ye Guan is indeed formidable."

Ming Jun looked at Yu Wenzhi.

Yu Wenzhi sounded solemn as he said, "Despite his young age, his combat strength is terrifying. He's going to become even more terrifying the moment he becomes a Divine Dao Realm expert. And I also think that someone capable of nurturing such a prodigy must be an extraordinary figure."

Yu Wenzhi glanced at City Governor Zhao with a hostile look. The reason he had suffered such a setback against Ye Guan was due to the fact that City Governor Zhao had portrayed Ye Guan as utterly worthless.

The intelligence was so bad that he felt suspicious about City Governor Zhao's true allegiance.

Was he truly here to join us, or was he sent by Ye Guan to infiltrate our ranks and mislead us?

"It seems the lady in the plain dress and the blue-robed swordsman behind this Guanxuan Universe aren't simple..." Ming Jun nodded slightly.

Yu Wenzhi solemnly asked, "Ming Jun, what should we do next?"

City Governor Zhao also looked at Ming Jun.

Ming Jun smiled lightly. "What else can we do? There can only be one civilization in one vast expanse. Moreover, the Guanxuan Civilization has murdered too many of our own people that we've gone past the road of no return at this point."

"That's true." Yu Wenzhi nodded.

The Forest Civilization was back, and they were resolved to become the ruler of this vast expanse.

Could anyone accept sleeping on the couch while a stranger was sleeping in their master bedroom?

The meeting of two civilizations would always end up in war.

"Are we going straight to the Guanxuan Civilization?”

Ming Jun was silent.

And that was when City Governor Zhao chimed in, “I have a suggestion!”

Ming Jun looked at City Governor Zhao.

City Governor Zhao said in a low voice, “The strongest experts in the Guanxuan Universe are the lady in the plain skirt and the blue-robed swordsman. We just have to get rid of them, and destroying the Guanxuan Universe is going to be a piece of cake. So I suggest that you challenge those two directly, bypassing those weaker than them. To resolve a problem for good, one has to tackle the problem at its roots, and we can say that the roots of this problem are those two backers of the Guanxuan Universe."

A civilization was going to challenge a civilization! A civilization challenge!
