Chapter 733: Chapter 732: That Dragon

"Hahaha, I presume the distinguished gentleman gracing us with his presence must be Mr. Bryson Campbell? And this gentleman here is Mr. Grayson Martin?" No sooner had Yusuf Zuck and Grayson Martin entered the grand hall of the tavern than a cultivator, with a rosy face, dressed in brocade robes, standing in Cloud Boots, and holding a fan, burst into hearty laughter, greeting Yusuf and Grayson with a series of bows!

At this moment, Yusuf and Grayson couldn’t help but take a sharp breath; this person’s cultivation had surpassed that of Nascent Soul and reached Divinity Transformation.

"May I ask for the esteemed name of this fellow daoist?" Yusuf returned the greeting.

"I am Ashely Cooke, a disciple of Jonas Hopkins. On the orders of my mentor, I am here to deliver some demonic beasts. Bring up the two small demons, everyone!" Ashely Cooke beckoned to someone outside.

"Whoosh~" The people outside were already prepared; a total of eight individuals, four carrying each cage, directly lifted them into the grand hall.

"This... I haven’t prepared my Gold Coins and what’s-it-called lotus something or other!" Yusuf squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

"Haha, Mr. Campbell, if you talk like this, you’ll be slapping the face of our Demon Hunting Chamber of Commerce. Who doesn’t know that Chicken Mountain is home to sixteen Feather Transform large demons? It’s a great honor for Mr. Campbell to come purchase demons from our Demon Hunting Chamber of Commerce. My mentor said that from now on, whenever you desire demonic slave girls or the like, you can come directly to claim them, completely free of charge. By the way, here is the 100,000 Gold Coin payment, returned in full!" As Ashely Cooke spoke, he handed back Yusuf’s 100,000 Gold Coins.

Yusuf and Grayson exchanged glances. The chairman of the Demon Hunting Chamber of Commerce had just given them two large demons for free and even declared a lifetime free service!

This was very intriguing. Jonas Hopkins, known for his poisonous black heart, surely must have a very cruel and venomous nature, right? Why was he being so kind to himself? Was it due to the preposterous fate associated with being an Earth Immortal?

"My mentor instructed that, before long, the Immortal Mansion will be opening, and we shall gather at the Saint Dragon Pavilion. At that time, my mentor looks forward to having a drink with you gentlemen to his heart’s content. Right now, he is dealing with important matters outside, otherwise he would have come in person!" Ashely Cooke seemed to apologize on behalf of his mentor with continuous bows.

"In that case, many thanks. But I have no need for this 100,000 Gold Coins, consider it a tip for all of you!" Yusuf tossed the 100,000 Gold Coins to the eight individuals who carried the cages.

"Thank you, Mr. Campbell, thank you!" The eight people knelt in gratitude.

"Thank you, Mr. Campbell." Ashely Cooke also gave a bow of thanks. However, after bowing, his smile slightly faded, and he lowered his voice to say, "Gentlemen, has the Earth Immortal senior arrived in Capital City?"

"My mentor has arrived!" Yusuf also lowered his voice, "After my mentor entered Capital City, he separated from us, saying he wanted to ’have another talk about life with that dragon’, and I have no clue what he meant by that!"

"Have another talk about life with that dragon?" Ashely Cooke was taken aback and didn’t understand the meaning, but he did not probe any further. Having this information was enough, and he could report it when he returned.

"Yes, that’s exactly what my mentor said." Yusuf confirmed with a nod.

"Very well, then I shall not disturb you gentlemen further. We’ll meet again at the Exploration Mansion." Ashely Cooke bowed his farewell.

"Brother Cooke, take care..." Yusuf and Grayson personally escorted Ashely Cooke to the entrance, exchanging a few more pleasantries before parting ways.

"Little brother, the face of an Earth Immortal carries a lot of weight indeed, but what did you mean by your words just now? I couldn’t make heads or tails of them," Grayson asked.

"Hehe, I made it up. The reason I said that was to let them know that my Earth Immortal mentor came with me, so anyone thinking of messing with me should stay far away!" Yusuf sighed, "Earth Immortals are truly awesome. The Saint Dragon Pavilion respects them, the Demon Hunting Chamber of Commerce respects them, even the royal palace’s offering masters respect them. Now, I’ve got a dream too, I want to become an Earth Immortal!"

"Haha, I believe little brother will definitely make it!" Grayson laughed heartily.

"Let’s go, I want these two Demon Cultivators to recognize me as their master." Yusuf acquired two more large demons and was in high spirits.

Meanwhile, Ashely Cooke did not head towards the bustling human-demon street but instead made a couple of turns to enter a tavern.

The tavern was lively, especially the second floor, which was packed to the brim. Guided by a waiter, Ashely Cooke entered a private room on the second floor.

Inside this private room sat two people, one a middle-aged man in black attire, exuding a cold and sinister aura. This man had blue stubble and long eyebrows and was quite burly.

The other appeared more ordinary, just a commoner elder with a pair of worn cloth shoes, an old straw hat on the table, clutching a dry tobacco pipe, and his hair also a patch of gray-white; he lacked any air of immortal elegance and didn’t look like a seeker of the Way at all!

"I have seen the Master, I have seen Master Blackwell!" As Ashely Cooke cautiously entered the private room, he immediately performed a salute.

Master Blackwell, with his worn cloth shoes and old straw hat puffing on a dry tobacco pipe, turned out to be the Saint Dragon Pavilion Master Wen Ping, while the cold black-clothed man was the Demon Hunter Guild Chairman, Jonas Hopkins, nicknamed Poison Black.

Jonas Hopkins nodded, "Start from the beginning."

"Yes." Ashely Cooke thought for a moment then said, "I met the two in the grand hall of the ’Heaven on Earth,’ and indeed, one was at the Late Nascent Soul Stage, and the other at the Late Condensation Period, and I saw no other strangers."

"The two were very polite, even tipping eighty thousand Gold Coins to the eight sedan carriers. But the brother didn’t talk much; it was Bryson Campbell who kept conversing with me. I found that he was quite resourceful and meticulous, truly a character who knows how to handle situations!"

"Was there any disguise?" Master Blackwell asked.

"No, I observed them closely, and they showed no signs of being in disguise!" Ashely Cooke shook his head as he spoke.

"Hmm, continue," Master Blackwell nodded and instructed.

"Before leaving, I asked if his Earth Immortal master had come to the Capital City, and his answer was affirmative. They had come together, but once in the Capital City, they parted ways. Also, he said his master went to meet that dragon, to discuss life anew with it. I did not understand this phrase, but I did not press further!"

"What?"

"What?" Both Master Blackwell, who was smoking his pipe, and Jonas Hopkins, who was sipping tea gently, stood up simultaneously, their eyes wide in shock!

Ashely Cooke was perplexed; did Master Blackwell and his own master understand the meaning of that sentence?

"That dragon..." Master Blackwell took several deep breaths before sitting back down, muttering to himself.

"Could that person truly be an Earth Immortal? Otherwise, who would dare to meet that dragon?" Jonas Hopkins drew in a deep breath and said.

"Not necessarily, it’s not only our people who know this secret, so we need to confirm this matter!" Master Blackwell frowned as he spoke.

"Confirm? How do we confirm?" Jonas Hopkins asked.

"We go to meet that dragon ourselves. If that Earth Immortal had indeed met with it, it will prove without a doubt that Bryson Campbell’s master is indeed an Earth Immortal."

"But that dragon is cunning and unpredictable; it might not answer us!" Jonas Hopkins said with concern.

"It will answer, I have a way, and there’s no time to delay; we depart right now." Master Blackwell got up, knocked his pipe, and strode out.

"Go back and keep an eye on every move in the Capital City from now on, but keep your distance from Bryson Campbell and his senior brother, and don’t offend them!"

"Yes, disciple understands." Ashely Cooke bowed.

Jonas Hopkins caught up with Master Blackwell, and then the two of them quickly made their way toward the imperial palace.
