Chapter 662: Chapter 661: Higgins King Stabs with a Knife

Deep into the night, Yusuf Zuck’s door was forcefully knocked upon, and Leah Erickson didn’t wait for Yusuf’s consent before hurrying in.

"What’s the matter?" Yusuf, who slept in his clothes, had his Purple Light Sword right by the pillow, so he abruptly grabbed the sword and jumped up.

At the same time, Brian Zuck, who had grown to seventy centimeters, also violently leapt onto Yusuf’s shoulder, baring his teeth and snarling at Leah Erickson.

Since he couldn’t open his eyes, he resembled a little blind creature, which was not at all frightening but instead quite comical!

"Is this the infant demon you spoke of? Why is it so big? No, wait... how has it formed its core? That’s impossible?" Initially concerned with urgent matters, Leah Erickson couldn’t help but be startled when he saw the blind demon. How could such a large infant demon have already solidified its core? What kind of demon was this?

"What are you doing bursting into my room?" Yusuf didn’t answer Leah Erickson’s questions and instead looked at him coldly.

"Shh—" Leah Erickson took a deep breath and no longer thought about the demon issue. After all, demons were very different from humans. He had heard of demons that could form their core right after birth, but those were giant demons.

The one Yusuf had purchased now must also be out of the ordinary.

"The Prince has sent a message from the palace, commanding that you and I ride out of the city tonight, heading northeast to Jizhou to escort the lady and the Prince to the Capital!"

"What? Bring them here? Isn’t that a bad idea? Was it the Prince’s order?" Yusuf was startled again. The capital was a place of danger; how could he allow his family to come here?

"It was a secret order personally from the Prince. Moreover, before the Emperor passed away, he appointed the Prince as Higgins King, so he could enter the palace to assist the Crown Prince in state affairs. Therefore, the Prince’s family also needs to relocate to the Capital!"

"Higgins King?" Yusuf’s face showed bewilderment. What was that deceased old Emperor thinking?

"Indeed, I can’t fathom the ins and outs of it myself at the moment, but the Prince is currently safe, residing in the Honored Elders. He will likely have to live within the palace in the coming days!"

"Alright, then let’s leave the city." Yusuf nodded. It was a good time for him to return to Jizhou anyway, where he could pick up Ruth Wilcox and Ember Vance and leave, while also delivering the elixir to Elijah Burch.

Ensuring the safe arrival of the Prince’s wife’s into the Capital would also mean he had repaid his debt to Higgins King. Then he could leave without saying goodbye, no longer to be involved with Higgins King or the Royal Family.

This place was a whirlpool; he didn’t want to get too deeply entangled. After all, he had achieved his goal.

"Let’s go!" Yusuf hadn’t yet found clothing for Brian Zuck, but casually wrapped him in a large bedsheet as makeshift attire.

The three immediately left the Royal Palace and rode out of the Capital, heading urgently toward Jizhou in the Northeast.

However, as Yusuf, Leah Erickson, and Brian Zuck were about three hundred li away from the Capital, riding at full speed, Yusuf suddenly came to a halt.

"What are you doing? Why have we stopped?" Leah Erickson quickly reined in his horse, looking puzzled.

Yusuf just looked at Leah Erickson icily.

"What’s wrong?" Leah Erickson shivered, sensing the killing intent in Yusuf’s gaze.

"You don’t know?" Yusuf said coldly.

"Know what? What’s going on? Speak up, we need to hurry on our way!" Leah Erickson said impatiently.

"We are surrounded!" Yusuf took a deep breath and then looked up at the sky.

Leah Erickson was shocked and instantly drew his waist knife, readying himself for whatever came next.

"Where are they? Who’s surrounding us?" He didn’t look puzzled anymore.

"You should leave. I’m sure you don’t know, so I won’t kill you today. But what does this mean for the Prince?" Yusuf murmured to himself, his hand on the hilt of his sword, ready to draw it at any moment!

"Make yourself clear, what does this have to do with the Prince?" Leah Erickson snapped.

"Hmph." Yusuf snorted coldly and then slowly stood up, standing atop the horse’s back!

"Swoosh—swoosh—swoosh—" Right then, from three directions, two beams of golden light and one of purple light suddenly tore through the air and arrived in an instant. The concussive sounds of these beams slicing through the night air buzzed loudly, and the golden and purple glows were especially dazzling!

"Golden Core and the Feather Transformation Path!" Leah Erickson’s whole body shuddered with shock.

Three radiant figures landed a hundred meters away from Yusuf Zuck and Leah Erickson, each dressed in robes of red and yellow. Their outfits were identical, and they did not wear masks. One held an iron pen, another carried a great Goldie saber on his back, and the third wielded a fan.

"They are... They are... They are the Honored Elders from the palace!" Leah Erickson’s face turned ashen as she recognized their attire and finally understood why.

The Higgins King had betrayed Yusuf, selling out the man who had shocked the city with a single sword strike to the palace Honored Elders. And of course, the Elders were extremely interested in this man, having already sent spies to look for him.

After all, Capital City was the Dragon Rising Land, the heart of the nation, and if someone could breach the city’s prohibitions, how could it not be a major concern?

So whether it was the person or the sword, the Honored Elders had to clarify things.

Leah Erickson guessed that the Higgins King must have made some deal with the Honored Elders using this incident, received some promise, then betrayed this extraordinary individual who had shocked the city, and tonight he had stealthily ordered her to take Yusuf out of the city, with three powerful Honored Elders lying in ambush on the road!

Yusuf’s Divine Sense was vast, or perhaps he could sense danger, which was why he had detected it earlier, and the three powerful Honored Elders were now forced to reveal themselves!

"You go back and tell the Higgins King that I don’t owe him any favors anymore. From now on, let’s keep to our own paths," Yusuf said to Leah Erickson, "Next time we meet, we won’t be friends."

"I’m sorry, Yusuf. This is not my wish. You... be careful!" Leah Erickson apologetically clasped her fist towards Yusuf, then spurred her horse into a frantic gallop.

The three masters did not stop her but just watched the cloaked Yusuf coldly.

"Since you’ve already guessed who we are, there’s no need for us to say more, right? Hand over your sword, and surrender without a fight, awaiting your fate!" said the one holding the iron pen, also known as the superb master who released the Purple Light, coldly.

Yusuf smirked sarcastically, "Back in Capital City, even the city’s Trapped Dragon Ban couldn’t stop me. Do you think the three of you can?"

"We’re doing this for your own good. If you resist, we will kill you, and your two wives may get involved too. There are four of us Honored Elders who came out," said the Iron Pen Elder indifferently.

"Seeking death, but I’ll remember this. If my two wives are in danger, I will bloodbath the Royal Family of Capital City!" shouted Yusuf suddenly. Then, with a stomp of his feet, his body shifted abruptly to the side!

In an instant, he teleported, appearing sixty miles away!

"What? He’s gone?"

"He’s gone..."

"He’s not in my Divine Sense anymore!"

"Mine neither!"

"I still have him, he’s sixty miles away!" exclaimed the Iron Pen Elder in surprise.

"Heavens, he can teleport? Sixty miles? This man is a formidable enemy!" the other two nearly dropped their jaws to the ground.

All three Honored Elders were astounded; a person capable of teleporting was undeniably a terrifying existence!

"Chase him! His cultivation level can’t be that high, otherwise he wouldn’t be running away, but killing us instead. He must possess some technique for traversing space. Fortunately, he hasn’t exceeded the reach of my Divine Sense. Let’s go, quickly after him!" The Divine Sense of the Iron Pen Elder could extend over sixty miles, perhaps even more, confirming that this person was also a terrifying existence, surpassing Golden Core level.

When Yusuf stepped out sixty miles, he immediately noticed a Divine Sense enveloping him, which took him by surprise. However, he did not pause but continued to step out.

"Whoosh—" After taking that step, the Divine Sense that cloaked him finally disappeared.

The person must be in the legendary realm beyond Golden Core, having reached the Feather Transformation Realm.

"Higgins King, you really think too highly of me!" Yusuf fumed, feeling the sting of betrayal, like a knife in the back!
