Sequence Beyond: My Wife is a Mysterious Boss

The starlight figures stopped churning, and the bronze man turned his gaze back.

Even a fraction of the ultimate essence is an immeasurable resource in any medium-sized or large realm.

This is enough to make many powerful figures tear off their masks over this.

The bronze man stepped onto a floating fragment of land.

With his eyelids lowered, his gaze pierced through the chaotic spatial storm, locking onto the faint, fading array pattern on the ruins of Scarlet Order City.

"A few fleeing insects, they certainly have a big appetite."

The old woman chuckled dryly twice: "How could a few inferior insects possibly consume such the ultimate essence of a great realm? Even if they did, it would rot their intestines."

The bronze-clad man raised his right hand.

"If you've eaten something you shouldn't have, just spit it out."

He bent his index finger, pressed his thumb against the pad of his finger, and flicked it lightly.

The blue light left his hand and vanished straight into the void.

……

The colored blocks ahead of the passage began to fade, and the familiar gravitational pull acted on everyone again.

The light flashed.

The sensation of my feet firmly planted on the ground came through the air.

Tens of thousands of people fell haphazardly onto the wide stone-paved square.

Everyone greedily inhaled the air.

"I'm back..." Ning Wei slumped to the ground, her taut nerves snapping completely.

This is the Alchemy Realm, the territory of the Pioneers Academy!

......

In the square, several healing arrays engraved with spirit-gathering patterns were activated one after another, and a soft green light shield descended.

A large number of logistics personnel in dark gray uniforms carried stretchers and medicine boxes into the formation.

After the two senior instructors briefly learned about the situation from Yuan Heng, everyone got busy.

But soon, Lin Bai noticed something unusual.

The way the staff at these colleges looked at me... was very strange.

Lin Bai turned his head away.

His gaze met that of someone who had been secretly watching him, but immediately lowered their head when they saw him looking over.

They went through the motions of registering a native of the Scarlet Land.

Many people around had the same reaction.

His gaze darted around.

Lin Bai shook his head, somewhat puzzled.

Ning Wei leaned against a broken stone pillar, pouring a blue potion into her mouth.

Lin Bai walked over and gestured with his chin towards the Bloodthorn Clan members gathered not far away, looking anxious: "What are your plans for them?"

Ning Wei tossed the empty medicine bottle into the spatial ring next to her.

"There's a quarantine zone around the academy. According to the rules, these indigenous people have to stay there for a full month first."

"As long as there is no danger, you can get a residence permit and live in the alchemy world on your own."

"Okay." Lin Bai nodded.

Hong Nan had been keeping a close eye on the commotion. When she saw Lin Bai about to leave, she jogged over to him.

She clutched the hem of her animal-skin coat with both hands, her head bowed low.

"Lord Lin," Hong Nan's voice trembled, "Will...will I ever be able to see you again?"

Lin Bai stopped and asked calmly, "What is it?"

"I, we..." Hong Nan stammered, and Hong Ye behind her also became reserved.

In this completely unfamiliar world, Lin Bai is their only support.

"This is the Alchemy Realm, not the Sunset Mountains. No one is forcing you to fight to the death with giant beasts." Lin Bai shook his head.

"Find a place to live and live well."

Without any further pleasantries or verbal promises, Lin Bai turned and headed towards the plaza exit.

Hongnan stood there until the figure disappeared from sight before letting out a long breath.

Pass through the giant archway in the square and enter the main road of the college.

I saw those familiar alchemical towers again.

The trainees on the road were in a hurry, each with a tense expression.

Suddenly, a fat man jumped out from behind the hedge by the roadside.

Qian Duo.

The fat man's eyes darted around, and when he spotted Lin Bai, his fat face scrunched up, and he lunged at him with outstretched arms.

"Boss Lin Bai! You're finally back!"

With a thought, Lin Bai's spiritual power spread along with his intention.

An invisible wall of air immediately rose up three feet in front of him.

A muffled thud.

Qian Duo bumped into the air wall, rubbed his sore nose, and took two steps back.

"What's wrong?" Lin Bai withdrew his mental energy.

Qian Duo quickly looked around to make sure no one was paying attention before stepping forward and whispering, "Something terrible has happened!"

"Let me tell you, a month ago..."

Get to the point.

"Well......"

"The Alchemy Realm and the Dark Nether Realm... are about to go to war!" Qian Duo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The mysterious world?

What a coincidence!

"Where did you hear that from?" Lin Bai asked.

"Do we even need to listen? The entire academy's leadership is in an uproar."

"And... Brother Lin, you're wanted by the Xuanming Realm..."

......

Lin Bai was stunned. "Me? I'm wanted by the Xuanming Realm?"

The image of the Taoist in the green robe quickly appeared in his mind.

Who did it?

Qian Duo nodded, glanced around to make sure no one was nearby.

"I asked my dad to use his connections to inquire about it."

"I heard it's wanted by the Netherworld Sect, the overlord of the Netherworld."

"As long as they're alive."

"Whoever captures you will become the personal disciple of the Netherworld Sect's leader."

Lin Bai raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean? The Alchemy Realm and the Xuanming Realm are going to war because of me?"

He felt it was somewhat absurd.

Am I that important?

Qian Duo shook his head. "That's not it. The two realms have been in constant conflict for thousands of years. Recently, they've been fighting fiercely over several newly discovered secret realms."

At this point, Qian Duo looked up at Lin Bai, his eyes filled with deep meaning.

"However, Brother Lin... the Netherworld Sect has spoken."

"If the Alchemy Realm is willing to hand you over, the Netherworld Sect can decide to have the entire Xuanming Realm retreat three thousand miles to the Alchemy Realm."

"Three thousand miles... including the newly discovered secret realm, that's a massive amount of resources."

"Brother Lin...you're worth something."

Lin Bai took a deep breath.

He was already certain that this matter must be related to that Taoist priest in green robes.

Otherwise, he hadn't been in the alchemy world for very long, so who would know him?

The Xuanming Realm went to great lengths for the Nine Extremes Secret Body.

The two realms are locked in a fierce struggle, with countless powerful figures vying for power.

Given his current strength, it would be extremely difficult for him to protect himself under such circumstances.

Fortunately, Qian Duo spoke up again.

"But Brother Lin, you don't need to worry too much. The Dean has personally spoken about you being wanted."

"You are a member of the Pioneers Academy. Anyone in the alchemy world who dares to set their sights on you is making an enemy of the entire Pioneers Academy."

Qian Duo blinked.

"Given the status of our college and the dean's public statement, basically no one would dare to have any ulterior motives towards you."

Lin Bai's eyelids drooped slightly.

Is it really true that no one dares to have any ulterior motives?

Wealth can be very tempting.

He possesses a vast territory spanning three thousand miles, along with the status of a direct disciple of a top-tier sect.

This stakes are enough to make even ninth-tier or legendary powerhouses break off all pretense of civility.

The dean's words can quell overt troubles, but not covert threats.
