Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

Chapter 1176: The World Gate Issue

William asked, and Lara and others nodded, in much excitement as if this was great news.

"We are getting much more materials from the outer world, something like every day's gain is equal to one month… Can you believe that?"

"I want these materials!" Before William would say anything else, Fang appeared out of the blue. William was sure he didn't actually leave, and just followed them silently from the shadows.

"If he says so, I'll give them to you," Lara was resentful against Fang for not saying everything that happened between William and Anjie. So, she decided to punish him a little, until he'd spill out what he hid.

Fang's face changed the moment he heard Lara's words, but William waved his hand as he said:

"It's not the time for that! I'll go to the underground city."

"I'll be coming with you then," Fang's face beamed with excitement, and even laughed, "you are after these materials, right? Right? Let me come, you promised to give me access…"

"I said it before, no underground city for you for now," William instantly rejected, "just stay in the town, Lara will come with me."

"Why her?" Anjie shouted in distress, while William rolled his eyes and said:

"I was away for a long time now; I need her to guide me to the city."

"Just say it, you're afraid I'll make a deal with her and enter that city!"

"As if I'll hide her forever from you," William evilly laughed, "stay patient, and reflect on your actions, old man."

Fang was indeed impatient. When he heard William was going to the underground city, he wanted to go there with him. And yet William blocked every path that existed for him to do it.

"I'll follow you there," he said in a low voice while watching William and Lara move outside the town.

"It's pointless," Berry said, without shifting her eyes away from the couple moving far from the town in fast pace, "without access from the big shots in the city, you can't get past the doors leading to the underground city."

"Little girl, you don't know me, I'm one of the top three masters in the world, I'm famous…"

"Screw you! Who are you calling little girl?" Out of the blue, Berry changed her attitude from being nice to him to being aggressive, "I now understand why he dealt with you in such a way, you are horrible!"

"..." Fang was taken aback, and when he learnt later that the key to the guild's door access were held by Berry, he blamed himself for being too rash and lost his chance again.

"You must have something to do out there aside from gathering materials, right?" as William ran beside Lara, heading towards her city as fast as possible, she started stating her doubts.

"What makes you say that?" William didn't want to say anything related to what he was truly thinking about.

"We already are gathering materials by lots of teams there, and your share is well preserved," she gave him a side look, before adding, "and I never saw you in such a hurry except when there is a huge matter going on. So… What's going on?"

"Something I need to deal with personally," William paused, "speaking about the teams working there, I want them out."

"Want what?!!" Lara was shocked when she heard him say that, "that's why you made me come with you?"

"You guessed it right," William winked, "let everyone out, it's going to be so dangerous down there."

"More reasons for more masters to be present to help you…"

"No, they'll just stand in my way," William instantly interrupted her words, "When we arrived, send out the word. They have three hours to leave, or else they are responsible for their lives."

"Is it that serious?" For the first time since William said he wanted to go to the underground city, she felt deep worry over him, "are you going to be ok?"

"I'm going to be fine," William said, "but no one else is. I don't have time to take care of anyone, so it's best for them to leave."

"Got you," she nodded in agreement, and then didn't speak with him again until they arrived in the city.

William didn't have time to check the city when he came here hours ago, but now he could. As Lara went to deal with things to call everyone back, he went around and strolled around the city.

He didn't do this to check on the city's progress, but to try and sort out his thoughts.

"The only way to make the portals increase in frequency is the destabilisation of that gate… What possibly could have gone wrong for it to go berserk?"

He muttered to himself while walking down the city streets. As he went off radar for a long time, not many recognised him. The ones who did, only stopped walking, looking at him as if they were looking at a ghost or someone great.

He didn't care about any of that and kept walking while listing all the answers he could get.

There were many scenarios that would cause such a phenomenon. "The worst is that someone found the crack in space in the outer world, and is trying to amend it… I can't do anything if that's the case…"

This was the worst scenario he could think of. Luckily, he knew such a thing had a very low chance of happening. It required a very skilled master with a space element to detect the crack there, and that needed him to be close to the crack by less than five hundred metres, and be there when the crack worked.

There was a long list of conditions William could think of for anyone to detect such crack. And that made such scenarios hold the lowest chances in his list.

As for the one that got the highest possibility was for someone or something to interfere with the gate. This was a very common thing to happen, if someone interfered with the gate.
