Chapter 1117: Chapter 1116: Planting a Thorn

In the Linglong Pond, Gracelyn Mckee held her sword in defense of Ruth Wilcox and others in the water, while Barbarian Newton and another stood firmly on the body of that creature of Emperor-Level rank, rendering the powerful being incapable of movement.

That creature, too, was in the latter stage of the ninth grade, a being of rank of late ninth stage, whose fame was resounding throughout the Immortal Realm. However, Barbarian Newton and his companion had just advanced to the ninth grade, a great gulf lay between their power and that of the creature.

Yet now, that Great Emperor of a creature was being trampled underfoot by two dark beings, a sight that was truly shocking.

Of course, what the creature and another did not know was that both Barbarian Newton and his companion had caught the last train of Chaos Qi. They had cultivated in the Chaos Qi for nearly two days, and these two days had brought them tremendous gains. The two Demon Emperors subtly radiated an aura of returning to their original, unadulterated state. Especially after their evolution from the dew of merit, both had come to possess unparalleled Inherited supernatural powers. In a word, their Divine Skills had evolved.

And because they had launched a surprise attack, it was no wonder the creature and his comrade had been caught off guard!

"Gracelyn? A demon bear and a demon bull? You’re courting death!" As soon as the Emperor of the Heaven Primordial descended upon Linglong Pond, Leilani May, the Great Emperor, let out a stern shout. These three great demons were truly seeking their own demise—dares to enter the Glass Life-Death Gorge, daring to intrude into her Glass Abode!

"Cackle, Glass beauty, this is hardly a way to treat your guests!" the dark demon roared with laughter, gripping the creature firmly as if threatening to take its life should Leilani May act against them.

"Hmph, you’ve got some nerve!" The Emperor of the Heaven Primordial also snorted angrily. Since ancient times, Immortals and Demons had never been on the same side, and Demon Emperors of either world would never overstep their bounds, for crossing the line would incur a mass retaliatory attack.

Yet now, three great demons had actually come to Linglong’s place? Their audacity had sky-rocketed.

"Two Great Emperors, please hold your hands!" Suddenly, Yusuf Zuck arrived and flew directly between the two parties.

"Hmm?" The Emperor of the Heaven Primordial, Leilani May, and the others bearing green sprouts, purple clothes, and Lotus Burch were all taken aback.

"Greetings to the master!" Barbarian Newton and another, along with Gracelyn Mckee, simultaneously sheathed their swords and smiled, then they bowed and acknowledged their master!

"What?"

"Eh..."

"What’s going on here?" The Emperor of the Heaven Primordial, Leilani May, and others were instantly at a loss, three Demon Emperors calling Martin Huppe their master?

"What’s happening?" Yusuf Zuck frowned and demanded.

"To answer the master," Gracelyn Mckee said coldly, "those in the pink and purple clothing, they sneaked in here, attempting to sabotage the principal mothers! Had we not intervened, the ladies might not only have failed in reconstructing their bodies but could have been gravely injured!"

"What?" Yusuf Zuck turned viciously, his gaze fiercely settling on the one in purple and then shifting to Leilani May!

"Great Emperor Leilani, what is this about?" Yusuf Zuck asked in a heavy voice.

Taken aback, Leilani May frowned and then spoke in an equally displeased tone, "Purple clothes, what is this about?"

Deeply inhaling, the accused stood up confidently and asserted, "That Martin Huppe stole all the stalactites and all the Earth Heart Spring Water. We, the four sisters, consulted on this matter, we wanted Martin Huppe to hand over the stolen items, so we decided to use his relatives as leverage. He possesses a cave abode Magic Treasure, we feared we couldn’t handle him, so we were forced to this last resort!"

"Indeed, this was a plan devised by all four of us!" Lotus Burch and another stepped forward to say in unison.

"Shh–" Leilani May took a deep breath, then suddenly chuckled bitterly and shook her head saying, "I allowed you to use the resources of my Glass Abode, but I didn’t say you could pack them up and take them away, did I?"

"Ahem~" Yusuf Zuck lightly coughed before awkwardly saying, "I didn’t take it away, I just used it all up. Otherwise, how do you think I managed to advance so quickly?"

"You’re lying!" Lotus Burch scolded, "Not to mention whether you could consume all the resources, even if you did, how could you only rise one level, skipping nine levels? Not just you, even we couldn’t withstand that many resources. We would be bursting!"

"How can you compare yourself to me?" Yusuf Zuck retorted.

"Alright, it was all a misunderstanding, young friend. Could you please first let your demon slave release the the pearl?" the Great Emperor waved his hand to intervene, now his surprise was not about the resources, but how these three demon emperor-level beasts had become Martin Huppe’s demon slaves?

Yusuf Zuck also knew it was a misunderstanding, but upon reflection, he still felt stifled. Luckily, he had been prepared and kept the three great beasts hidden here; otherwise, wouldn’t his family have been endangered?

"Black Barbarian, Barbarian Newton, release her, and remember, I’m extremely protective of my own. Let’s forget today’s incident; none of my family was harmed. But if they had been..." Yusuf Zuck coldly glanced at Gracelyn Mckee and the ladies in purple, however, he did not continue.

After Black Barbarian and Barbarian Newton released Gracelyn Mckee, she flew back behind Leilani May, her face filled with resentment.

At this point, Leilani May was also immensely troubled, and her heart was even more conflicted. Her four disciples, who had been with her for so many years, when had they ever suffered such a loss?

Moreover, the resources of her nine secret lands were all gone. Although she had previously agreed that Martin Huppe could use them as he wished, she didn’t believe Martin Huppe had used them all; he must have taken some secretly.

So, she began to doubt the character of this Son of Creation, and at the same time blamed herself for being rash, making a deal with Martin Huppe so quickly without investigating his character and integrity. Now it appeared that although Martin Huppe was favored by fate, his character was too poor, not a trustworthy person!

A thorn grew in her heart.

Nevertheless, she still had to visit the Land of the Origin of the Gods, so for the time being, she could only let it be, and address everything after the transaction had ended.

Yusuf Zuck, with his discerning nature, also noticed Leilani May’s displeasure and irritation. Although she tried to hide it, he still sensed it.

He knew that the trust built between them had now dissipated like foam because of this incident.

"Great Emperor, let’s continue with the transaction. I will take you to Gods’ Island. For now, I wish for my family to rest quietly here and cultivate their bodies. May I know if that’s still possible?" Yusuf Zuck politely inquired with a fist salute.

"Of course, the transaction must continue," Leilani May smiled, "Misunderstandings can be cleared up with dialogue. Then stay here, and after the Great Battle between humans and demons, let’s explore Gods’ Island together." Having said that, Leilani May turned and left!

"Humph!" The four ladies snorted angrily and also took their leave.

The Heavenly Emperor gave Yusuf Zuck a cheery glance before also exiting Linglong Pond!

Once Yusuf Zuck saw everyone had left, his expression darkened. The three great beasts stood to one side, cautious and silent as if they had done something wrong.

"I don’t blame you, you did right. Moreover, if anyone, no matter who, dares to harm my family again, don’t hold back. There’s no need to capture anyone alive, just kill them!"

"Haha, master, you’re so straightforward, following you is truly satisfying!" Black Barbarian laughed heartily.

"Indeed, indeed, master, we should be this domineering!" Barbarian Newton nodded repeatedly, initially thinking the master would chastise them, but it turned out the master thought they weren’t harsh enough. Both of them also finally realized that for their master, the stakes of his ladies were higher than the heavens.

"Master, Leilani May is unhappy with you. She thinks you stole her resources and that we attacked her disciples, so we need to be careful!" Gracelyn Mckee suddenly reminded him.

"I know, but I can’t leave," Yusuf Zuck sighed. His family had to use Linglong Pond to cultivate their bodies; after all, who else could he turn to?
