Chapter 2857

The grandmaster lay back on the reclining chair and said with a smile, “He’s just a rogue individual

whom everyone in Mystic City is after.”

Someone whom everyone in Mystic City was after? Why would Philip need his help, then?

However, since Grandpa said so, Philip accepted it.

After chatting for a while, the grandmaster seemed tired, so Philip got ready to leave. Before he left,

Philip stood at the door and looked at the sleeping old man, feeling very uncomfortable. He did not

know how long it would take before he could see his grandfather again. With that thought in mind,

Philip knelt at the door and bowed three times to the grandmaster before he got up and left.

After Philip left, the old man lying on the reclining chair suddenly woke up and shouted, “A mountain

and sea full of corpses! My Little Phil!”

After that, with a face full of forlorn, he stared at the door blankly and muttered, “My Little Phil, when will

you come back and see me? I don’t have much time left.”

Philip left the Larson family and returned to the hotel.

Cynthia looked quite depressed at this moment and could not cheer up even at the sight of Philip. That

was because she knew that Philip would be leaving tomorrow.

Philip smiled and asked, “What’s up? You seem to be in low spirits.”

Cynthia forced a smile and said, “It’s nothing. I just don’t want you to leave.”

Cynthia had become much bolder.

Philip was startled, scratched his head, and said, “I’ll be back.”

After saying that, he looked at Fennel who just walked in and asked, “How are the preparations?”

Fennel replied, “It’s almost done. We can set off for Mystic City in the northwest tomorrow.”

Philip nodded and came to Reed’s recovery room. Seeing Reed working in a battle robe, he smiled and

said, “Teacher, are you busy?”

Reed raised his head, gave a few instructions to the guard in front of him, and said, “Why are you

here?”

Philip smiled and said, “I’m here to see you.”

Reed coughed and said, “Are you ready to leave?”

Philip nodded and said, “We’ll be leaving tomorrow.”

Reed nodded and said, “Okay, Mystic City in the northwest is not a simple place. Be careful in

everything you do, don’t act too impulsively, and don’t mess with others easily. Even the Imperial

Preceptor has to watch his every move there.”

Philip looked solemn and asked, “What kind of place is this Mystic City? Even the Imperial Preceptor

has to be wary.”

Reed sighed, smoked a cigarette that smelled quite choking, and said, “Do you know the legend of

Hanger Pass?”

Philip was taken aback, but he said with a nod, “Yes, it’s said that a sage exited Hanger Pass and

caused a purple mist that spread over 3,000 miles. What’s the connection between this legend and

Mystic City?”

Reed replied, “That isn’t just a legend. The sage has received verification. He once left his seal and

famous words on the stargate of Cochly Mountain.”

“What?!” Philip was shocked!

That sage actually left his mark and words on the stargate of Cochly Mountain? How was this possible?

This simply overturned Philip’s worldview. However, thinking of the current situation, it seemed that

everything was possible.

Reed nodded and said, “According to various investigations and findings, as well as your father’s

speculation, when the sage left Hanger Pass and headed west back then, he had likely reached the

pseudo realm of the other shore. As for his arrival in Cochly Mountain and after seeing the stargate, no

one knows what realm he’s reached or what happened.”

Hearing this, Philip felt surreal. The ancient sage was a mighty presence.

“So what’s the connection between Hanger Pass and Mystic City?” Philip asked.

Reed said, “The Northwest Mystic City is an alias for Hanger Pass.”

“What?” Philip was stunned.

This Northwest Mystic City was actually the Hanger Pass of the past.

“But Hanger Pass is displayed on the map while Mystic City isn’t it,” Philip said.

Reed nodded and said, “That’s right. Mystic City isn’t displayed on the map because the Hanger Pass

displayed on the map is the Mini Hanger Pass, while the real Hanger Pass is Mystic City in the

northwest.”
