Chapter 574: Chapter 573: The Unknown of This World

At 5:40 p.m., Yusuf Zuck walked out of Hong Kong Airport, where Grey Petty was there to pick him up.

In a single day, Yusuf Zuck had flown back and forth between Jingcheng and Hong Kong.

"Is everything okay at home?" Yusuf Zuck asked as soon as he got in the car.

"Nothing’s wrong, but everyone’s pretty tense. Last night was really frightening, like something out of a movie. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen anything like it in my life. If I hadn’t already known that it was some kind of Descent Technique, I would have thought there were ghosts stirring up trouble!" Grey Petty said with a wide grin.

"Actually, these kinds of things happen quite often; we just haven’t come into contact with them before," Yusuf Zuck said with a smile.

"Yeah, Mr. Yuwen said the same thing. He even told us a few true stories today," Grey Petty nodded as he spoke.

"What true stories?" Yusuf Zuck asked, curious.

"He mentioned an incident from ’95—when he was in Anhui on business, he encountered something called the ’Jiao Dragon Crossing the Tribulation’ event. There are articles about it online now, but the news was blocked in the early stages!"

"Jiao Dragon Crossing the Tribulation event? What does that mean?" Yusuf Zuck exclaimed, astonished.

"He said that during the summer of that year, while he was in Anhui, he witnessed a clawed serpent with a horn starting to grow on its head, a Jiao Dragon, fly into the sky. Then, after several thunderbolts struck, the Jiao Dragon was charred outside and tender inside. He said he saw it with his own eyes. Afterwards, the relevant authorities arrived, took away the carcass of the Jiao, and didn’t offer any explanation or allow the media to report on it."

"There was actually such an incident? A Jiao Dragon flying to heaven to Cross the Tribulation and got struck dead by lightning?" Yusuf Zuck was dumbstruck.

"Mr. Yuwen probably isn’t lying, and there’s no need for him to," Grey Petty said, shaking his head.

"Good heavens, does that mean there really are demons in this world?" Yusuf Zuck found it incomprehensible.

"Who knows? Just because we haven’t seen them, doesn’t mean they don’t exist. Isn’t that the idea?"

"What else did he talk about, any other true stories?" Yusuf Zuck continued to inquire.

"About the matter of the ghostly soldiers." Grey Petty was excited, seemingly very curious.

"Mr. Yuwen said that in ’76, when he was serving as a company commander in the military, they suddenly received emergency orders one day to proceed to Tangshan because there was a major earthquake. His entire regiment set out, marching rapidly, but the inexplicable thing was, as they were about to arrive at the affected area of Tangshan, with just an hour’s journey left, all of their battalion’s vehicles, including trucks and small vehicles, all broke down on the roadside at the same time. Subsequently, the maintenance soldiers couldn’t find any faults at all; the vehicles just wouldn’t start! They were all very anxious because a minute’s delay meant more lives lost in the disaster area."

"However, that wasn’t all. Around 8 p.m., not only could the vehicles not be started, but also all the power went out, and all the headlights flickered off simultaneously."

"Nobody knew what was going on, and then he received an order for an immediate meeting. At the time, he was already a company commander. The battalion commander called them over and said that by higher orders, all the vehicles stuck in the middle of the road were to be pushed to the right side, clearing the way. Then, at 8:15 p.m., they received another order, telling everyone to get back into their vehicles and go to sleep. No matter what they saw, they were not to speak, make noise, or converse."

"At that time, everyone felt something eerie, but military orders are like mountains, and he and the deputy company commander got into the truck and then just looked outside."

"He waited until late into the night, nearly overcome by sleep, when suddenly he heard the sound of horseshoes, from carriages, and he immediately perked up. Looking into the distance, he saw one carriage after another coming from the direction of the Tangshan disaster area. On each cart was a dimly burning green lantern, but the drivers were nowhere to be seen. The carts were carrying human heads, piled high with them. There were about a hundred of these carts, and it took about 15 minutes for all of them to pass."

"After all the carriages had past, they started their car again, and sure enough, it ignited at once, and they were back on the road. Later, some estimated that over 200,000 people died in the earthquake, and that figure was indeed confirmed afterward."

"Mr. Yuwen said, this incident is what later became widely known as the ’Ghost Soldiers Borrowing the Road.’ He witnessed it himself, and now some of the elderly, along with some secret archives, have records of it."

"So, you’re saying that not only are there demons in this world, but also ghosts?" Yusuf Zuck clicked his tongue in wonder, finding these things too mysterious to believe.

Of course, he himself was also a mystery. Who else had seen someone who could be Invisible, and use Telekinesis to see through everything? That was also inexplicable.

"Who knows, but I sure saw ghosts and monsters last night. That Witchdoctor was something else, controlling an army of venomous creatures, mysteriously making people have worms in their stomach, eyeballs falling out on their own, coughing up toads... That’s just a total violation of scientific logic." Grey Petty shook his head vigorously and said, "It’s normal for us to have gained Truth-Insight, to fly over rooftops and the like. It’s just Qigong, after all. But what happened last night, I just can’t explain."

"Yeah, some things just can’t be explained by science," Yusuf Zuck nodded and said.

Soon, the two returned to the villa, where remarkably, Mayor Danny Hart and the four oddities were waiting in the courtyard.

"Is that the sword? Come on, let me see what kind of Divine Weapon it is that made you go so far as to make a trip!" Kenelm Lopez walked over to Yusuf Zuck’s side with a beaming smile. His background was special, as he was rumored to have come from Dragon Gate, so he should have seen a lot.

"Right, right, just an ordinary Ancient Sword, let’s draw it out and take a look," Danny Hart also started to laugh. What Treasure Sword hadn’t they seen?

"Better not to look. This sword doesn’t take kindly to strangers." Yusuf Zuck laughed and swiftly moved past the four, not feeling the need to show them his Purple Glory Sword.

"No, that won’t do. I’m the most knowledgeable about swords, I insist on looking." Kenelm Lopez seemed intent on testing Yusuf Zuck and suddenly took a strange step, lunging at Yusuf Zuck from behind, not to hit him but to grab at Yusuf Zuck’s Treasure Sword.

"What are you doing, you really have to see it, huh?" As Yusuf Zuck turned his body, he dodged Kenelm Lopez’s sneak attack and also held the sword while beaming at Kenelm Lopez!

"Hehe, the more you stop me, the more I want to see. Kid, let me tell you something honestly, I’ve seen the real Flying Sword, an Unrivalled Divine Weapon that can split mountains!" Kenelm Lopez said proudly.

"Fine, since you want to see it that much, it just so happens I want to try if my sword can split open someone with Innate abilities. How about you stand opposite me, I draw my sword and strike you with it?"

"Of course, you all witness for me. If I strike him dead, don’t blame me, because I don’t have good control over this sword; it’s too powerful."

"Strike, strike hard. If you kill him, it’s your skill!" Danny Hart and the Dou couple nodded repeatedly.

"Good, good! If you can strike me dead, I’ll follow you from then on!" Kenelm Lopez pounded his chest and said.

"If you’re dead, how will you follow me?" Yusuf Zuck rolled his eyes and said.

"Haha, no use talking more, if your sword can even hurt me, I’ll follow you!" Kenelm Lopez laughed heartily.

"Remember, those are your words!"

With a "humming" sound, suddenly, as Kenelm Lopez was laughing heartily, Yusuf Zuck’s Purple Light Sword was unsheathed, releasing a surge of purple energy. Then Yusuf Zuck forcefully delivered a slash towards Kenelm Lopez with all his strength, not holding back at all since he wanted to test whether he could strike dead someone with Innate abilities using his Purple Light Sword!
