The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 997

Chapter 997: Chapter 997: Mystical Sect Tournament, Opening of the First Match

Three days later, the Mystical Sect competition officially commenced.

Before this, there were faint discussions online regarding the event.

The cause was someone posting a security check photo.

A man dressed as a Taoist was requested by the staff to open his luggage for inspection, from which he took out several magic artifacts like a Peach Wood Sword, a Soul Summoning Banner, and an Eight Drigrams Plate.

Staff responsible for security checks posted on social media that in the past few days, many Taoists indeed arrived in the Capital Metropolitan, carrying various mystical and geomantic objects.

Someone else captured a photo of more than a dozen Taoists dressed in a unified, modified Taoist attire arriving at the airport.

Subsequently, a netizen recognized that the so-called Taoist attire was actually the uniform of Sea City Taoism Academy.

[I’m sure I’m not mistaken; in the past, my daughter and Ariel have both worn it in "Inspiration."]

There’s even a variety show screenshot as proof.

This instantly attracted more attention from netizens.

[I can confirm these are students from Sea City Taoism Academy. I also have evidence.]

Similarly, it was a variety show screenshot, capturing a new student seated behind Scarlett Jennings during a morning meditation, compared to someone in the group at the airport, showing they were the same person.

This led to the conclusion that these were bona fide students studying mystical techniques at the Taoism Academy.

Moreover, they might even be classmates of Scarlett Jennings!

[With so many coming all at once, could it be an exchange event of the Mystical Sect?]

[For so long, the Mystical Sect still treats us as outsiders. Is there any exchange event we can’t observe?]

[For so long, only Director Clark treated us as his own. I miss Director Clark!]

[The 189th day of missing Director Clark~]

After much discussion among netizens about the internal activities of the Mystical Sect, some prolific netizens and enthusiasts of mystical studies delved deeper.

They indeed uncovered something.

A special live broadcast room requiring an invitation code to enter.

The number of people in the broadcast was very few, incomparable to the previous "Inspiration" broadcasts.

Nevertheless, it broadcasted the grand occasion of the official commencement of the Mystical Sect competition that day—

"Welcome, everyone, to the triennial Mystical Sect competition, jointly organized by the Cathay Security Bureau, the Taoism Academy, and the Mystic Regulation Office, and sponsored by the Spirit Headquarters...

I am this year’s host, Violet Allen, and beside me is the head of the Spiritual Affairs External Liaison Department and also our special guest host for the event, Sawyer!"

Anyone who watched the academy competition last year could recognize the person speaking on stage as the North City Taoist Academy student who previously participated, Life Impermanence, Violet Allen.

Due to the special venue for this competition, Violet Allen was selected as one of the interim hosts.

Compared to Violet Allen’s enthusiastic openness, her co-host beside her had a more somber and steady demeanor, simply greeting the crowd,

"Hello, everyone."

Below the stage were various masters and members of the Demon Clan who specially came to the scene, including students from the three Taoism Academies.

Seeing the eerie host Sawyer on stage made everyone shudder a little.

Even students or demon offspring who haven’t officially graduated from the Taoism Academy could clearly sense that the host on stage... wasn’t human.

Employed at Spirit Headquarters, the man named Sawyer was evidently a Ghost Cultivator.

Moreover, likely a Ghost Cultivator with over three hundred years of cultivation.

The Mystical Sect competition occurred once every three years, but it was the first time a Ghost Cultivator was invited as a host.

Just... quite refreshing.
