Chapter 717: Chapter 716: Vera Rocha

Opportunity often comes hand in hand with great risk, and the letter from the Saint Dragon Pavilion Master was Yusuf Zuck’s opportunity, but it also posed a significant danger.

Frankly, he wasn’t interested in the Immortal Mansion because he already had an Immortal Sword, but he was interested in the Spirit Jade.

If there were no Spirit Jade in the Immortal Mansion, he wouldn’t be the least bit conflicted, and he definitely wouldn’t go.

But now, he was torn because the so-called Spirit Jade originated from this legendary Immortal Mansion, and now, the Saint Dragon Pavilion Master had sent a personal letter, inviting him and a Senior Earth Immortal to explore the Immortal Mansion together!

The primary invitee was the Earth Immortal, after all, the blue-clad scholar’s Technique of Universe in Sleeve had astounded the entire Mainland, an era where no Earth Immortals existed.

As powerful as the Saint Dragon Pavilion Master was, he too was merely at the stage of Crossing the Tribulation; thus, the emergence of an Earth Immortal was something that could not be taken lightly or without fear by anyone.

By showing goodwill to the Earth Immortal, the Saint Dragon Pavilion Master had also indirectly extended the invitation to him. But now the situation was that the blue-clad scholar had left with Francisco Zuck who was blind. Therefore, Yusuf Zuck was extremely conflicted.

"Are you considering whether or not to go?" Grayson Martin asked in surprise, "I advise you to ask the Senior Earth Immortal. Because even if you’re an Earth Immortal, you might not have the family’s magic treasures, so no one would be unwilling to visit the Immortal Mansion!"

"He won’t go because he has the Immortal Sword and is in a closed-door retreat, which he won’t easily leave," Yusuf Zuck shook his head.

"What about you? Are you going?" Grayson Martin asked.

"I’ll go," Yusuf Zuck suddenly exhaled, opportunity waits for no one, and if he missed this chance, he didn’t know of any other way to strengthen himself. If in over two years’ time, he still hadn’t unlocked the Blood Beads, and even if his Cultivation Level reached the Nascent Soul Realm, he probably wouldn’t be able to rescue Liang, right?

Moreover, this trip to the Saint Dragon Pavilion might give him a chance to see Liang or rescue her. It was an opportunity, a great one.

"There are two spots. What if I went with you?" Grayson Martin’s eyes sparkled.

"Uh..." Yusuf Zuck was stunned for a moment, he wanted to go too? But he wasn’t invited, was he?

"You can say I’m your senior fellow apprentice. We are both disciples of the Earth Immortal. Our master is in seclusion and cannot make it, so we have come together!" Grayson Martin said excitedly, "Besides, there definitely won’t be any problems, and our safety should be no big issue!"

"After all, we stand with the Earth Immortal behind us, nobody dares to touch us lightly, not even the Sect Master of the Heavenly Origin Sect."

"You make sense. How many days are left until the ninth day of the ninth month?" Yusuf Zuck nodded.

"There’s still a month," Grayson Martin said.

"Hmm, then let’s wait for Ray Dickson and that big boss, Vera Rocha!"

"By the way, Mr. Luo, how long have you been in closed-door cultivation? How did you manage to break through to the Late Condensation Period so quickly?" Grayson Martin suddenly asked.

"With the help of the Spirit Jade. The Spirit Jade is of great use to me, so I want to go to the Saint Dragon Pavilion this time to get the Spirit Jade!"

"I see, I will definitely assist Mr. Luo," Grayson Martin said, clasping his fist.

After chatting with Grayson Martin for a while longer, Yusuf Zuck went to the back of the house, but Ruth Wilcox and Ember Vance were both in seclusion, and their three maids were respectively guarding by their sides.

They were preparing to solidify their pills, so this period of seclusion might be lengthy or perhaps brief.

Yusuf Zuck sighed, the two ladies were extremely diligent in their cultivation because, apart from using cultivation to pass the boring time, they truly had nothing else to do.

Yusuf Zuck wasn’t sure whether bringing them to this world was right or wrong.

He didn’t disturb them but simply ordered the Demon Cultivator to muster all available resources and help the two mistresses advance their cultivation rapidly.

About seven or eight days later, three people came down from Chicken Mountain. One was Ray Dickson, another was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, and the third was a little giant, who, despite seeming young, exuded Gang Qi as sharp as knives and carried a huge hammer on his shoulder.

"He is ’Kashton Pennington,’ the third in command of our Cangmang Mountain, his original form a black bear. His cultivation has reached the middle stage of Divinity Transformation. That young girl is the only daughter of our Family Head, Vera Rocha." Grayson Martin explained from the mountaintop.

"However, the Family Head hasn’t come. There must be something preventing him; otherwise, he would definitely be here personally." Grayson Martin furrowed his brows slightly, not understanding why the Family Head hadn’t come.

"Francisco, go receive our guests." Yusuf Zuck nodded at Francisco Zuck.

Francisco Zuck immediately flew down, and the pathway up the mountain was reopened.

"The names of your Cangmang Mountain’s great demons are quite unique," Yusuf Zuck suddenly laughed. "Ray Dickson, Kashton Pennington, and who came up with them all?"

"All were named by the Family Head. They had no names or surnames before, but were later granted them by the Family Head."

"What is your Family Head’s original form?"

"A descendant of the Golden-Winged Roc, though not of pure blood. Nonetheless, he’s a superior Demon Cultivator."

"Ephraim Rocha? Does it mean he can spread his wings and fly ninety thousand leagues?" Yusuf Zuck smacked his lips.

"Not quite," Grayson Martin shook his head and laughed. "According to very ancient legends, the span of the Golden-Winged Roc’s ancestor’s wings was ninety thousand leagues."

"Uh..." Yusuf Zuck was instantly bewildered.

Ray Dickson and Kashton Pennington, along with the girl named Vera Rocha, made their way up. Yusuf Zuck had expected an old woman since she was on the verge of death, but he was somewhat stunned when he saw the young girl.

She appeared to be seventeen or eighteen years old with a Cultivation Level of Golden Core. Moreover, after scanning her body, Yusuf Zuck found that she was still a virgin, never married.

However, there was a unique sense of death and twilight chi above the girl’s head. Also, Yusuf Zuck could not tell whether she was human or demon. Calling her human, she still carried a trace of demonic aura; yet calling her a demon, she possessed human bloodline.

"Kashton Pennington of Cangmang Mountain, at your service, Mr. Luo!" The one carrying the hammer, the third in command, bowed deeply, his voice deep and sonorous.

"Vera Rocha of Cangmang Mountain, at your service, Mr. Luo." The girl introduced as Vera Rocha also gave Yusuf Zuck a gentle salute.

Ray Dickson greeted everyone with a smile and a clasped fist.

"Please, no need for formalities, welcome," Yusuf Zuck gestured for Kashton Pennington, Ray Dickson, and the others to come in.

Once inside the hall and seated, Vera Rocha spoke first, "Father was supposed to come with us, but more Human Cultivators have entered the mountains to hunt demons. This time, they’ve come in great numbers with many skilled practitioners, so Father could only stay home. He says, once the Human Cultivators are sent away, he will definitely come to ask for forgiveness and punish himself with three drinks."

"More Human Cultivators hunting demons?" Grayson Martin abruptly stood up.

"Yes, Father asked you not to worry, Uncle. He can handle it, and he won’t act rashly. He says if he can’t defeat them, he’ll flee without engaging in a prolonged fight. It’s best for you to stay here and keep Mr. Luo company!" Vera Rocha advised.

"Phew," Grayson Martin exhaled deeply. "I just worry your father will act impulsively."

"Alright," Grayson Martin sat down, gave a wry smile, and then turned to Yusuf Zuck with a clasped fist. "Mr. Luo, please lend your aid to help Vera Rocha with her Feather Transform."

"Alright, sooner is better than later since we have to travel northward," Yusuf Zuck nodded and stood up. "Miss Vera Rocha, come with me. Everyone else, please wait here."
