Chapter 641: Chapter 640: Ulterior Motives

The massacre tonight became Yusuf Zuck’s solo performance, with the other thirty guards only reaping those who tried to escape from the perimeter.

Of the forty-something people, Yusuf Zuck killed over thirty, and he did so in the most violent and cruel ways, crushing them to death with the most direct use of force.

"Prince, I request to storm into the Dragon Gate Sect. Since we’re already killing, let’s leave no chicken or dog alive!" Yusuf Zuck seemed to have blood in his eyes, his gaze exuding a bloodthirsty cruelty.

In fact, ever since Ariel Higgins was killed and Xiao Liang was captured, he had been holding back a fire. He saw everyone in the Dragon Gate World as bastards who deserved to die. So since he was here, he abandoned morality, abandoned humanity, because the people here were not human, and thus he didn’t need humanity.

Of course, there was a deeper purpose behind the grand display he orchestrated tonight.

"Good, all hands on deck! Follow Master Zuck into the Dragon Gate Sect, spare no chicken or dog, hahaha!" The Higgins King laughed heartily. Initially, he thought that Master Zuck, just a minor Innate, wouldn’t be of much use, but who could have imagined Master Zuck was a treasure? A man with innate divine power, who could defeat the State of Great Fetal Breathing with mere physical strength?

This was unheard of in the entire secret history of the Empire.

You should know that between the State of Great Fetal Breathing and Innate, there’s a huge difference. A single Great Fetal Breathing could kill a thousand Innates, but now, Great Fetal Breathings were completely killed by an Innate.

In the realm of power, strength is of utmost importance, and Master Zuck, with unimaginable physical might, has surpassed conceivable levels.

The Higgins King ordered Yusuf Zuck to lead a raid into the Dragon Gate Sect—a special command, considering Yusuf Zuck had no official status and had only joined the ranks of the guards that day. So this order carried a certain playfulness!

A group of people quickly marched towards the Dragon Gate Sect’s residence.

The Dragon Gate Sect was situated on a mountain, looking like a temple. It was just a minor cultivation sect in Jizhou, and the Sect Leader was merely at the State of Great Fetal Breathing.

The Dragon Gate Sect didn’t have many people left, with fewer than fifty remaining after more than forty had died, and most of the survivors were minor cultivators who hadn’t even reached the Innate level, including those with Truth-Insight, Fasting, and even Grandmaster level!

Yusuf Zuck continued his slaughter, and even the guards looked on with astonishment and fear as he killed.

After four hours, all ninety-two people of the Dragon Gate Sect were dead, blood energy soared to the sky, and corpses lay everywhere. Meanwhile, the Higgins King had taken his seat in the main hall of the Dragon Gate Sect.

"Search; the old rules apply—the spoils are yours to keep. Take whatever you can." The Higgins King spoke indifferently.

At the Higgins King’s command, Yusuf Zuck immediately rushed to the back house, for he had discovered a secret room there; within it was a hidden compartment, which held a box, and inside that box were elixirs. He had seen this with Telekinesis, so he made no apologies for taking advantage as the Higgins King gave the order.

Everyone did the same, looting generously.

"Leah Erickson, what do you think of this man?" With Yusuf Zuck absent, the Higgins King asked casually.

Leah Erickson took a deep breath and said, "He is bold and invincible, decisive and ruthless in his actions. An Innate who can kill those of the Great Fetal Breathing state with just his strength is unheard of. However, we need to verify his background!"

"Heh, as long as he has no ill intent towards me, I intend to make full use of him, he’s a talent. With proper grooming, he could be an asset equivalent to an army of thousands!" said the Higgins King.

"Besides, even if he harbors ulterior motives, I have ways to deal with him. His two beautiful fairy-like wives are still at my palace. It seems he has submitted his allegiance today to show us his capabilities, suggesting that he wants to fully join us!"

"Hmm, I will keep an eye on him!" Leah Erickson nodded in agreement.

"How are your exercises coming along? It’s a critical time now; you need to make progress quickly!" the Higgins King added.

"The Foundation Establishment is coming along. It’ll be swift, like a thousand miles in a day. I don’t dare to be hasty right now, but I should be able to achieve Foundation Establishment within three months, and Solidifying Pill again within a year," Leah Erickson said softly.

"Hmm, the Disperse Power Method is not easy to cultivate. It requires great perseverance. Press on!" the Higgins King nodded lightly.

Leah Erickson, the guard by the Higgins King’s side, was not a mere Innate but was cultivating a Divine Skill that required dispersing her power. Currently, she was in the period of dispersing her power, simply recuperating.

Yusuf Zuck found the long box that contained the elixir and, without looking at what kind of medicine it was, he wrapped it in a cloth and carried it on his back, while also grabbing a large handful of Gold Leaves from the secret compartment.

They were genuine Gold Leaves, the very large kind, that were extremely heavy.

When he returned to the Grand Hall of the Six Gates, everyone, including the Higgins King, gave him peculiar looks.

"I heard you found the Six Harmonies secret chamber? How did you find it?" the Higgins King asked with a smile.

"My grandfather was a bandit by trade and knew exactly where treasures could be found. So, I just followed his methods, and fortunately, I found some treasures!" Yusuf patted the bulging parcel on his back.

"Well then, hold on to it. Once we return, everyone will receive additional rewards. We leave for the city overnight," said the Higgins King, unwilling to linger any longer. In fact, the reason he came to destroy the Six Harmonies sect today was that he received intelligence that the sect had taken sides with an individual who was aligned with his elder brother. Thus, the Six Harmonies sect had become a faction under his brother’s influence.

He was here to show his elder brother his strength.

The group quickly descended the mountain and rode swiftly, finally reaching Jizhou City before dawn. After arriving back at the Royal Palace, everyone dispersed immediately, including Leah Erickson who also disappeared without a trace.

Yusuf was called into the audience alone by the Higgins King.

"I’m very satisfied with your performance yesterday, but can you tell me how you cultivated such strength? It’s clear you are Innate, but how do you possess such formidable power?" The Higgins King was extremely curious and for the first time sat down with Yusuf, gesturing for him to drink some tea.

"To be honest with you, Prince, this strength is innate. I have no idea how it came to be. Ever since I was a child, I was like this, and I could eat a lot. I could eat enough for ten people, so in the future, you might need to stock up on more rice in your household!"

"Uh...haha, this prince isn’t worried about you eating me out of house and home. Go ahead and eat all you like!" The Higgins King couldn’t help but laugh heartily. This Yusuf had a wild streak and wasn’t so reserved, daring to be unrestrained in front of him. However, he liked this lack of restraint because Yusuf had not crossed any lines!

"Hmm, then tell me, why did you make the first move last night?" inquired the Higgins King after some thought.

"It was clear that the Prince was out to pick a fight and kill someone. I’m not an idiot, so why waste words? Just go straight to killing. I wanted to make a good impression!"

"What do you want?" the Higgins King asked again.

"I do have a request!" Yusuf nodded.

"That’s right. Where there’s merit, there’s reward. I am clear on rewards and punishments. Just say what you want!"

"Firstly, I want to undergo Foundation Establishment, so I need the Foundation Establishment elixir."

"Hmm, I do have the elixir, but Foundation Establishment isn’t solely reliant on an elixir; personal enlightenment is also important, so I can’t guarantee that you will achieve Foundation Establishment just because I give you the elixir!"

"Then I would like to thank the Prince in advance!" Yusuf bowed with a fist in hand.

"What else? Is there anything else you desire?"

"I want elixirs that will enable my two wives to cultivate. I want them to be able to cultivate as well. So I will need the Prince’s support!"

"Of course, your affairs will be mine from now on. I may not be good at anything else, but I have plenty of strength. If there’s another situation like yesterday’s, I’ll still be at the forefront!"

After some consideration, the Higgins King replied, "I indeed have cultivation elixirs. However, cultivation also depends on an individual’s capabilities, and not everyone is capable of cultivating. Even with an elixir, if one cannot open their sense, they are stuck at the first step. Many people fail to move beyond this. Hence, I can bestow the cultivation elixirs for your ladies, but whether they can open their sense is up to them!"
