Chapter 1413: Chapter 1412: Celestial Beasts Transform into Humans

Eternal City, three days away from the day of the grand wedding.

Right now, at the Eternal Palace, the Eight Great Clan Leaders are all clad in their most lavish robes. Apart from these eight, there is also a person wearing a Golden Crown.

That person is none other than the City Lord of Eternal City, elected by The Eight Great Families themselves.

The position of City Lord of Eternal City isn’t one anyone can occupy; it requires unanimous consent from The Eight Great Families, and this individual does not belong to any one Clan as a vassal.

The City Lord’s compound surname is Matt, and his name is Matt Graham. It is rumored not only does his name suggest raging flames, but his temperament is also like a blazing fire, harboring within him more than a dozen of the world’s most extraordinary fires.

This man is utterly loyal to The Eight Great Families.

"In this past year, it’s these recent two months that have seen the most experts make their way into the city. Our preliminary count fears that there are over three hundred Divine Lord Realm powerhouses, including several Superior Divine Masters."

"All Clan Leaders from the One hundred and eight clans have arrived and reside within their respective detached residences."

"It seems that the bandit leader from the Southeastern Land has also come, but his exact movements are uncontrollable."

"No trace of the Thunderbolt Beads!"

"Our scouts infiltrated into the bandit lair in the Southeast report that this son of heaven doesn’t hail from the Heavenly Realm, nor does he seem to be a spokesman for the forces of good and evil. On the contrary, it appears he comes from the Eastern Sea."

Matt Graham speaks candidly; he sits on an equal footing with the Eight Great Clan Leaders.

"The Eastern Sea?" The Eight Great Clan Leaders are alarmed, and Jordan Berger speaks in a heavy tone, "Could it be the Celestial Beasts?"

"Surely not?" Fear grips Nelson Torres as he inhales sharply. If it is indeed the Celestial Beasts, that would be troublesome!

"Most likely." Nelson Torres of the Torres Family also couldn’t help but take in a cold breath: "The Celestial Beasts are plotting chaos!"

"But how could the Celestial Beasts transform into human shape?" The expression on the face of the speaker becomes stern. If the Celestial Beasts also intervene, then the situation truly becomes perilous.

The might of the Celestial Beasts is stronger even than divine beings, for the seas are teeming with uncountable Celestial Beasts. Even the most supreme experts among the Gods of the Heavenly Realm dare not venture deeply into those fantastic and perilous lands, guarded as they are by the Celestial Beasts.

For countless eons, the Celestial Beasts of the seas have had no dealings with the Heavenly Continent, the divine beings did not provoke those distant powers of Celestial Beasts, and the Celestial Beasts did not cause chaos in the Heavenly Continent.

However, now, at this critical time, if the Celestial Beasts decide to get involved, that’s the real trouble.

"What we commonly understand to be the inability of the Celestial Beasts to transform is correct," Jordan Berger says gravely: "However, the royal Celestial Beasts can transform. Those of the purest bloodline, the ancient Celestial Beasts left from the distant past, can take human form."

"If that’s the case, we’re in big trouble."

"Our Heavenly Continent is situated at the center of the Mainland; in the boundless depths of all four directions—east, west, north, and south—countless Celestial Beasts roam. Royal Celestial Beasts are rare, but they do exist. So if they truly get involved, we must notify the ancient ancestors!"

"Only the ancient ancestors can deal with them!"

"Why does misfortune pile upon misfortune? Do the Celestial Beasts dare to loot amidst the fire?"

"Maybe the Celestial Beasts are somehow connected to the ancient gods of old!"

"What do we do now? The ancient ancestors cannot come forth, can they?"

All Eight Great Clan Leaders are a bit frantic, for due to unexpected events, even the Royal Celestial Beasts are looking to seize the opportunity to invade the Heavenly Continent.

"We can only seek guidance from the ancient ancestors, or else we may not be able to handle the situation that will arise in three days!"

"Could it be that the Celestial Beasts will interfere in three days’ time?"

"Just in case, we must set out now!"

All Eight Great Clan Leaders stand up in frustration, facing new information and circumstances, so they can no longer remain seated.

...

Meanwhile, Yusuf Zuck, Mrs. Santiago, and the elder Santiago had already entered the Eternal City and settled down in an inn.

Of course, staying at the inn was just a sham to deceive others.

But at this moment, Yusuf Zuck, Mrs. Santiago, and the elder Santiago were staring at each other in astonishment, as they encountered people dressed exactly like them while dining in a restaurant.

A young master, accompanied by three figures draped in black robes with faces covered by black cloth, emitting a potent aura. Most importantly, among these three formidable beings, there was a woman.

Their attire was almost identical to that of Yusuf and his companions, right down to their shoes.

As they sized up each other, the other party also curiously scrutinized them.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was somewhat eerie; other diners dared not speak loudly, as it was apparent to everyone that the six disguised individuals were of great power.

"Haha, may I ask where the three of you made your fortunes?" Suddenly, Ghost Roth burst into laughter and asked directly in thieves’ cant.

Yusuf Zuck’s eyebrows rose, and both Mrs. Santiago and the elder Santiago were shocked. As soon as the other side spoke, they guessed the likely origin of the strangers.

Very likely from the Southeastern Land, the Righteous Army!

"We’re not talking about fortunes. We’re just cloth merchants who’ve made some new clothes. We’re displaying the fabric. What about you three, also in the cloth business?" Yusuf Zuck replied with a faint smile, his gaze also shifting to the young master because he sensed demonic energy emanating from him.

His Purple Droplet could capture demons, so he was particularly sensitive to demonic creatures. Others might not detect the young master’s disguised aura, but he could feel it—the young master was not human!

Indeed, he was sure that the young master was not a human, but rather a demon in human form!

Yet he was also surprised. This young master was very likely the so-called prince, and yet he turned out to be a demon? Was he a Celestial Beast or a demon from the Lower Realm who had ascended?

"Cloth merchants?" Ghost Roth’s eyes widened, almost spewing out a mouthful of tea.

At this moment, the young master suddenly laughed and said, "What a coincidence, we sell clothes. The ones they’re wearing are the latest fashion!"

"Haha, you may not know, our cloth is made from skins peeled off demons. Whether it be Celestial Beasts, human demons, or immortal demons, we skin them and carefully refine the material to make Heavenly Clothes. What about you folks, also selling demon-fabric clothes?"

"Hmm?" Ghost Roth and the others were startled, while the young master’s eyebrows shot up. They all perceived the implied meaning in Yusuf Zuck’s words.

"Hehe, I’ve heard that those who skin demons never end up with a good fate," the young master scoffed coldly.

"That’s not true; I’m the living proof of good karma. I’ve skinned countless demons, fought against numerous Demon Cultivators, and I’m still living well," Yusuf Zuck chuckled, no longer feeling the need to be polite since he had guessed the other party’s identity. Why keep up the pleasantries?

They couldn’t fight here, but why couldn’t they exchange verbal blows?

Indeed, under the current circumstances, a fight between them was out of the question since it would alarm The Eight Great Families.

"Hehe, I’ll remember you," the young master said, admitting defeat in the verbal sparring, and stood up to leave.

Of course, as he left, he gave Yusuf Zuck several glowering looks, as dead as a fish’s gaze.

Ghost Roth, Sofia Nelson, and Mo Wu quickly followed, with surprise and confusion on their faces. Who were these three? It seemed they had recognized that the prince was a demon, which was a serious matter.

They flew the banner of the Righteous Army, keeping the secret of the prince’s origins, because they did not want the divine citizens to know. If the divine citizens learned that they were colluding with a Celestial Beast, their bandits and minions might abandon them.

How could divine citizens fraternize with a demon? Therefore, if the information leaked, their hopes of success would be dashed!

"What’s going on? Is that person a demon?" As soon as the four left, Mrs. Santiago couldn’t wait to ask. She and her husband were also shocked; if the prince was a demon, then the situation in Heavenly Realm wasn’t just chaotic, it was a catastrophe!

"I am certain he’s a demon. Moreover, he’s not a demon that ascended from the Lower Realm. He has the essence of a Celestial Beast; he is a Celestial Beast in human form!"

"A Celestial Beast in human form?" The couple inhaled sharply in shock!
