Chapter 1035: Chapter 1034: Losing Face and Getting It Back

"He stays, everyone else get out of here!" Yusuf Zuck pointed at the man kneeling on the ground, a Golden Immortal Ninth Rank, and when his gaze swept over the others, they all lowered their heads!

In any world, the fist represents reason. Now, Zayden Newton’s fist is hard, so others had no choice but to bow their heads.

The harsh and strange things they had said before, they were blind and ignorant, and from today on, they probably wouldn’t dare to utter such words for the rest of their lives.

"Farewell..."

"Farewell..."

Everyone quietly clasped their fists, then scurried out of the Jingxing Pavilion with their tails between their legs.

Two breaths later, Yusuf Zuck looked at the man kneeling on the ground, who by now had a vacant look in his eyes. His spirit, his pride, everything about him had been destroyed by Yusuf Zuck. Unable to resist, unable to fight back, he had become foolish, and a fear had taken root in his heart—a fear even more dreadful than signing a Soul Contract. After signing such a contract, at least he would still have his own consciousness and will, just like Rafael Case, who could still joke and banter with Yusuf Zuck.

But now, this man, scared stiff by Yusuf Zuck, saw him as a deity without needing any contract.

"What’s your name?" Yusuf Zuck asked coldly.

"Yusuf Zuck..." The man immediately reported his own name!

"Damn, you’ve completely wasted that name." Yusuf Zuck rolled his eyes. Yusuf Zuck, just the addition of ’Zuck’ to his own name.

"I’m asking you, now that I’ve killed Hongying and Ivy Frazier, will there be trouble?" Yusuf Zuck didn’t know the Sect’s rules, so he needed to get things clear.

"There shouldn’t be any danger to your life, after all, you’ve signed a life-and-death contract, and there are recordings in the Crystal Ball. Nevertheless, the Inner Sect will organize an inspection team to conduct a strict examination of you, and there will also be some punishment, as you’ve signed a life-and-death contract privately, and the fact that you killed a fellow sect member is undeniable, so punishment is certain. But as for what it will be, I have no knowledge," this Yusuf Zuck, completely devoid of his previous arrogance and splendor!

"Hmm..." Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath; as long as his life wasn’t in danger that was fine, as for the punishment, he wasn’t afraid.

"I am currently short on menial help, would you be willing to be a menial worker under me? Of course, you’d only be asked to do some tasks when there’s something to do, but otherwise, you can still practice in the Inner Sect!"

"As you command, my lord!" Yusuf Zuck prostrated himself, expressing his submission!

"Right, that Ivy Frazier was the Third Brother, so there’s still a Second Brother and a Big Brother, right? Where are these two?" Yusuf Zuck suddenly asked.

"It’s the Second Brother and the Big Sister." Yusuf Zuck replied respectfully, "Big Sister is the strongest disciple in the Inner Sect, and Second Brother is skilled in astrology, his strength nearly equal to Big Sister’s. They might not be in the Inner Sect right now, but with such an incident occurring, they will probably return at once!"

"Got it."

"Leave me your contact information, and then you may leave."

"Yes..." Yusuf Zuck took out his Message Jade Disc, paired it with Yusuf Zuck’s Message Jade Disc, created a linked contact, and then he respectfully exited the Jingxing Pavilion.

Yusuf Zuck flew to the starry sky above, stood amongst the stars, spread his arms wide, and rapidly absorbed the power from the stars, storing it in his soul pearl.

The recent battle had seen him not use his Taiji powers from start to end. These Inner Sect Disciples weren’t worth the use of his powers, and those were also one of his trump cards.

...

Meanwhile, in the Inner Sect Debate Hall, the Inner Sect officials, elders, and many instructors had all gathered. The hall was crammed, and many who had just fled from the Jingxing Pavilion knelt densely packed; they were narrating the murderous battle that had just taken place, some even crying while they spoke, others trembling continuously, their lips quivering as they talked.

About half an hour later, the high ranks of the hall had learned of the whole situation.

Zayden Newton made a life-and-death agreement with an Inner Sect Disciple and proceeded to duel. Then, with one palm strike he killed a person, slain four unmatched geniuses of the Inner Sect in succession.

As a Grade One Daluo, he continuously killed four Ninth Grade Daluos.

This caused many in the Inner Sect to suddenly recall the death of Delilah Ferguson a year ago in the Spirit Realm. Wasn’t Delilah Ferguson also a Ninth Grade Daluo? And at that time, wasn’t Zayden Newton merely a Golden Immortal Ninth Rank? Could it be possible that Zayden Newton was the prime culprit behind the killing of Delilah Ferguson?

However, there was a huge gap between a Golden Immortal Ninth Rank and a Grade One Daluo. Before stepping into the Daluo realm, a Golden Immortal would always be weaker. It was said that the difference between the two ranks was like a watershed.

Of course, the matter of Delilah Ferguson’s death had already calmed down because the Great Emperor did not come. Thus, with the Great Emperor’s absence, no one pursued the matter further. After all, disciples from the other three sects could have been the murderers too.

"Do you all say that Zayden Newton is protected by Golden Scale Armor?" the Inner Sect supervisor Keanu Vaughn suddenly asked.

"Yes, when those Golden Scales emerged, even his eyelids flashed with golden scale light. Ivy Frazier used her peerless spear technique, and after more than a hundred strikes failed to injure him in the slightest. The other three also hit him with their Magic Treasures, but they couldn’t harm him either!" one of the disciples immediately replied.

"Golden Scale Armor!" All the senior members of the Inner Sect exclaimed in unison and exchanged strange looks with one another.

They knew about the Golden Scale Armor; it was exclusively Aiden Wilkinson’s, and it seemed to have not been completed yet. Everyone had only heard Aiden Wilkinson mention it thousands of years ago, suggesting that the armor was incredibly complex to make, and it was not known if Aiden Wilkinson had ever completed it.

But now, it was not only completed but also given to Zayden Newton!

Everyone knew that Zayden Newton was cultivating under Aiden Wilkinson, but why would Aiden Wilkinson give such a supreme treasure, the Golden Scale Armor, to Zayden Newton?

"Gentlemen, since Zayden Newton has made a life-and-death agreement with Ivy Frazier and the others, how should we handle this matter? Also, don’t forget, Zayden Newton is also the Closed-door Disciple of Alchemy Dean Luke Gardner, so if we are to deal with Zayden Newton, shouldn’t we also invite Alchemy Dean Luke Gardner?"

"Sigh~" Mentioning Jack Gardner, all senior members of the Inner Sect took a deep breath. Jack Gardner was the Alchemy Dean, and the Alchemy College was a transcendent presence.

Even the normally aloof and solitary White-Haired Witch Aiden Wilkinson owed favors to Jack Gardner, not to mention them.

It could be said that in the entire Campbell Sect, there was no one who did not owe Jack Gardner a favor, for Jack Gardner was a Level Eleven Grand Pill Master. Whether it was for elevating one’s cultivation realm or seeking Supreme Pills, they all had reasons to seek favors from Jack Gardner privately.

Moreover, Zayden Newton was not their Inner Sect Disciple, so if they were to handle the matter privately, Jack Gardner would surely have objections. Wouldn’t that offend Jack Gardner? If they sought his alchemy services in the future, would Jack Gardner even oblige?

And there was also Aiden Wilkinson. Aiden Wilkinson had given her life’s most perfect masterpiece, regarded as an ultimate treasure, to Zayden Newton. So, if they dealt with Zayden Newton, wouldn’t Aiden Wilkinson have a say in it? Right now, by name, she was still Zayden Newton’s mentor, and Zayden Newton was cultivating under her guidance.

"To my knowledge, Alchemy Dean Luke Gardner went into seclusion two years ago and hasn’t emerged since!"

"If he hasn’t come out of seclusion, doesn’t it seem inappropriate for us to deal with his disciple privately?"

"Should we report this matter to the core Elder’s Council? Or the Sect Master?"

"Is that necessary? This is a matter of our Inner Sect, and furthermore, they made an agreement. This is a matter between disciples!"

"How about we wait for Alchemy Dean Luke Gardner to come out of seclusion before making a decision? When the time comes, we can listen to what Alchemy Dean Luke Gardner has to say!"

"I think that’s feasible. Our Inner Sect Disciples have shown themselves unworthy. They entered into a life-and-death agreement, ganged up on the few with the many, and abused their strength against the weak, only to be killed by the other party in the end. Who can they blame?"

"Alright, let’s decide to postpone any decision-making and wait for Alchemy Dean Luke Gardner to come out of seclusion!" the person in charge of the Inner Sect decided with a clap of his hands.

"Gentlemen, I think there’s no need to deal with Zayden Newton. It’s our Inner Sect Disciples who weren’t skilled enough; they signed the life-and-death agreement themselves, so why deal with him?" All of a sudden, a woman wearing a long robe appeared out of nowhere in the Debate Hall, and just as she landed, a long-haired man strode in from outside, and loudly said, "Indeed, we can only regain what face we’ve lost, not continue to lose face for our Inner Sect!"

The newcomers were the most outstanding two disciples of the Inner Sect, the Eldest Sister and Second Brother!
