Chapter 1078: Chapter 1077: Danger, Danger

The early morning at Shepherd Mansion was eerily quiet. Coachman, household elders, old ladies, maids, servants, and the like, over four hundred people in total, had all gathered outside the grand hall of the mansion.

A Taishi chair was placed at the entrance of the hall, and the new master of the house... no, the new Lord was sitting on the Taishi chair.

It was bizarre. Old Lord Shepherd had died, and the entire family had perished. Miss Shepherd had disappeared last night, yet she had also left a letter with her seal. The letter declared that Shepherd Mansion was to be renamed as the City Lord’s Mansion and that, henceforth, all matters of the mansion would be managed by City Lord.

As soon as it was daybreak, the new Lord had summoned everyone, and no one knew what was to happen.

"The plaque of Shepherd Mansion does not need to be changed. Let it still be called the Shepherd Mansion," Yusuf Zuck sat in the chair and commanded from above, "Yesterday, the lady sold some shops at the City Lord’s Mansion, but some are left. I, too, do not understand the way of business, so things will remain as they were before."

"Of course, I’ve called everyone here today mainly for two reasons. The first is, those who wish to leave may do so. Any indentures or the like will be returned to you by Coachman later, and you will also be given a sum to settle yourselves."

"Those who do not wish to leave may stay. I do not need your service; just manage yourselves well."

"That’s all, nothing more to say. The back house where I live is off-limits to anyone. Anyone who approaches will be killed without mercy!" Yusuf Zuck finished speaking and stood up to leave.

In fact, the mess of Shepherd Mansion had nothing to do with him at all, whether it perished or dissolved was none of his concern.

However, he later thought about it, using the identity of the son-in-law of the Shepherd Mansion could ensure smooth sailing in the city, and having this identity as cover might not be a bad thing after all.

Coachman called everyone away to talk, while Life Uncle followed Yusuf Zuck, asking if there was anything else he needed to instruct.

"Yes, isn’t there going to be a gathering of all sects in Heavenly Origin City before the great battle between humans and demons? Then help me gather information about the situations of the sects, who has arrived, how many people, and their cultivation levels. Make a list and report to me daily."

"Yes, this old servant understands," Life Uncle bowed deeply.

"That will be all. I am going into solitary cultivation now. Do not disturb me unless necessary." Yusuf Zuck entered his own courtyard and shut the gate behind him.

He had already realized that he had been followed since last night. There were seven or eight experts lingering around Shepherd Mansion, monitoring everything inside.

He knew that these were men arranged by the City Lord, keeping an eye on him.

"Sigh~" After entering his room, Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath. "Looks like I’ll need to continue my training." He squinted his eyes. No one in this city knew his background, so even if he attained the rank of Immortal King or even Immortal Monarch, no one would pay much attention. It wouldn’t cause a stir like it did in the Campbell Sect where climbing a few ranks caused an uproar.

So, even if he made rapid progress in his ranks, it wouldn’t be a problem. Even if the City Lord found out, he would likely think that he had just suppressed his cultivation level before, and wouldn’t suspect that he could train so quickly!

"Brigham Shepherd has not given up on me, all the sects will soon gather, perhaps Tomas will come too, and the Campbell Sect will come as well. Once detected by someone from the Campbell Sect, countless experts would come troubling me. Thus the best plan for now is still to train!" Yusuf Zuck weighed the pros and cons and after a long silence, suddenly his telekinesis fiercely entered into the realm of Blue Sea and Cloud Sky.

In the current Blue Sea and Cloud Sky, high above in the sky, there was a gate, and that gate was indeed the door of God’s Altar. Even though the soul bead had merged with the Blue Sea and Cloud Sky, the door still existed.

As soon as Yusuf Zuck’s telekinesis entered, he directly rushed through that gate.

He still needed to raise his cultivation level, at least to the rank of Immortal Monarch.

"Here again..."

"It’s you again..."

"Who are you really?"

Within the God’s Altar, the eight of them seemed accustomed to this unknown Divine Sense, no longer attacking or shouting for battle, as it was impossible to kill it. Countless times had passed, and they hadn’t managed to hurt that Divine Sense.

Yusuf Zuck bit his tongue, not giving away any clues or traces.

"Buzz—" Just as his telekinesis began to absorb the power of the God’s Altar, suddenly, dark clouds fiercely gathered above the altar, thunder rolling within them!

"Uh..." The eight guardians froze, as there unexpectedly appeared thunderclouds in the sky?

At the same time, all of Yusuf Zuck’s Blood Beads began to pulsate once more, and even his heart throbbed inexplicably.

Alarm, danger alarm, extreme danger alarm.

"Inhale—" Yusuf Zuck sharply inhaled and, without another word, his telekinesis fiercely absorbed a breath of the altar’s energy and quickly withdrew!

However, just as his telekinesis withdrew, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed from within the altar’s dark clouds, "Zzzz—" that lightning followed his telekinesis, passing through the portal and striking towards the Nascent Soul in the Chaos Fog within Blue Sea and Cloud Sky.

Yusuf Zuck was scared out of his wits, what on earth was happening?

"If that lightning strikes my Nascent Soul, my Dao Nascent Soul will undoubtedly perish, and if my Dao Nascent Soul dies, will I die too?"

Yusuf Zuck didn’t have time to think thoroughly, nor did he have the time to think, his mind moved, and in an instant, the Nascent Soul disappeared within the Chaos Fog, instantly returning to his original body, hidden within the Dantian.

Once the Nascent Soul returned, his cultivation level ’pop’ increased by a level, becoming an Immortal King, and a King’s Breath appeared on his body, having just absorbed the power of the altar after all.

By then, the lightning also seemed conscious, suddenly halting in the air above the Chaos Fog, remaining motionless.

This scene was very eerie, extremely terrifying, as if the lightning were a person.

However... it lost its target, unable to find the Nascent Soul because the Nascent Soul had returned to the main body, which was outside, not inside Blue Sea and Cloud Sky!

Yusuf Zuck’s Thought shrouded that bizarre lightning, his whole body tense, as the danger alarm was not lifted, and his Blood Beads still pulsated rapidly.

That halted lightning seemed to sense his telekinesis snooping, and suddenly, it fiercely surged upwards.

Yusuf Zuck didn’t withdraw his telekinesis. Blue Sea and Cloud Sky was also his soul bead. Even if he withdrew his telekinesis, this was his spirit’s depth!

When that conscious lightning reached high altitude, Yusuf Zuck’s Blood Beads pulsated to their limit, then unexpectedly began secreting Merit Dew on their own, secreting a purple liquid that spread throughout his body, protecting his head, his soul, his Dantian, and all vital parts of his body.

The lightning stooped mid-air, and then twisted... with a "crack," a booming sound!

Yes, a resounding boom.

"Puff—" Yusuf Zuck’s main body outside suddenly expelled blood from all pores, his head buzzing, unable to hear, unable to sense anything, then his eyes rolled back, and he actually fainted.

Inside Blue Sea and Cloud Sky, the earth-shattering boom also shook the earth. Just outside the Chaos Fog, there were several members of the Dragon Race, and that Big Goldfish that transformed into a Five-clawed Golden Dragon too.

However, when the boom sounded, the Dragon Race members and Aiden Wilkinson’s transformed Big Goldfish instantaneously perished, their physical bodies turning to dust.

However... the other people within the Chaos Qi were unharmed and didn’t hear the outside noise from the beginning to the end.

In the sky, that portal from which Yusuf Zuck had always proudly stolen the power of the altar, disappeared after that tremendous boom, vanished!!!
