Chapter 816: Chapter 815: I’m Here

"Put her down!"

"Put her down!"

"Seeking death!"

"How dare you!"

When Mr. Ning suddenly made his move to capture Lily Case, not only did Koen Zuck become furious, but the thousands of others were also incensed. After all, this Mr. Ning was an Earth Immortal from outside, and their purpose for coming here was still unclear. So, a foreigner actually dared to forcefully abduct a woman from the Saint Dragon Continent?

This was something that no cultivator on the Saint Dragon Continent would allow.

Master Blackwell’s eyebrows lifted, and Jonas Hopkins suddenly let out a sinister laugh, indicating that these people from the Southern Continent had a threatening look!

Indeed, what Mr. Ning wanted was this exact effect. Without killing someone or being overbearing, how could he establish authority?

The people on this continent were merely a bunch of unsophisticated natives. Today, he intended to stir trouble, using this as a pretext to kill a bunch fiercely, terrifying the locals, so that their plan could proceed smoothly.

In any era, the powerful are always revered. When he became overwhelmingly powerful, the people here could only submit!

"Hahaha, my friends, hold your noise. I did not intend to abduct her by force. Instead, I just received a message claiming that Miss Lily was in danger, with someone planning to seize her. I was merely protecting her. If I let her go, someone will follow and abduct Miss Lily!" Mr. Ning’s robe fluttered, and he was not afraid despite the large numbers of people from the Saint Dragon Continent, his battle intent raging and ready to fight at any moment!

"I am Lily’s fiancé! With me here, who dares to disrespect her? Let go of her now, or don’t blame me for being rude!" Koen Zuck was also gathering his strength. Although the opponent was a Second Level Earth Immortal, he was ready to fight!

Master Blackwell and the others did not speak or take a position because they also wanted to use Koen Zuck to gauge Mr. Ning’s cultivation level.

"You’ll be rude? Fine, I’d like to witness the prowess of an Earth Immortal of the Saint Dragon Continent too!" Mr. Ning said with a smile.

"Put me down, or you will die!" Lily Case struggled fiercely, but no matter what, she could not break free from Mr. Ning’s ethereal grasp, and fear consumed her because Mr. Ning was unfathomable!

"Kill him, kill him, kill him!" The spectators continued their angry shouting. If outsiders planned to dominate them, they naturally wanted to resist, to obliterate them!

"Roar～" Koen Zuck charged forward, spear in hand, and roared as he rushed directly at Mr. Ning.

...

Meanwhile, at the Imperial Palace Inner Lake, Qing Emperor and Duke Lu had just arrived at the lake’s surface when they received a secret report that a fight had broken out!

"Haha, good news. Let them fight like dogs first. Duke Lu, let’s go!" Qing Emperor’s spirits were high. Outsiders fighting against the local cultivators?

This was a good thing. When both sides were weakened from their mutual losses, he would strike with the force of thunder and overwhelm the Cultivation World.

...

At the same time, Yusuf Zuck, located beneath the ruins of the former dynasty, was so enraged he almost spat blood. He had heard the decree, seen that Koen Zuck, and seen the foreign Earth Immortal capture Lily Case. He suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to strangle everyone!

However, he quickly calmed down, continuing his attempts to awaken while analyzing why everything revolved around Lily Case!

"The Emperor is exploring options, the foreign Earth Immortal is also scouting. They chose Lily because she is a focal character who just achieved Earth Immortal status. Thus, the Emperor wants to consolidate power and suppress cultivators, while the foreign Earth Immortal uses Lily as bait to kill others and establish authority!"

"And that Koen Zuck, he might actually have had a marital engagement with Lily!" With a keen mind, Yusuf Zuck quickly connected all the dots and understood the underlying reasons!

It wasn’t just him who understood; even Dax Blackwell and the others realized it. To solve this conundrum, they first needed to see just how powerful the outsiders were!

Yusuf Zuck withdrew his telekinesis, no longer focusing on the duel happening a hundred miles away because at this moment, Lily Case was safe. Before a victor was determined, nobody would harm her; they would only use her as bait.

He inspected his inner self and discovered he had reached the latter stages of the Feather Transformation Stage and would face the Tribulation of the Nascent Soul after leaving, but why couldn’t he open his eyes? What was the reason?

He repeatedly examined himself, constantly searching for what was different within him.

"Hmm, it must be because of this scroll!" After a long search, he finally discovered the discrepancy—it was the scroll in his mind, the one that had been on the table and got absorbed into his mind. Just like a sacred decree, this scroll only bore four words, ’Book of Earth,’ and nothing else. Moreover, the Book of Earth seemed to be absorbing the Earth Power from within Ming Ming, some of which merged with the Book of Earth, while a portion transferred to him.

He had attained the latter stages of the Feather Transformation Stage precisely because the Book of Earth had transferred some Earth Power to him.

Of course, it was only a tiny part, merely one percent. If all the Earth Power were transferred to him, his body would explode.

"Could it be because it is still absorbing Earth Power, that’s why I couldn’t open my eyes? It is the one cultivating, not me!" Yusuf Zuck quickly realized this possibility. The Book of Earth was absorbing Earth Power on its own, and he was merely benefiting from it.

And because the Book of Earth was absorbing power, or because it was cultivating, that was why he couldn’t wake up.

"So, what I need to do now is to close the Book of Earth. Once it’s closed, it won’t absorb Earth Power anymore, right?" Yusuf Zuck thought this when suddenly, spurred by a thought, the Book of Earth in his mind closed with a ’whoosh’ sound under the control of his telekinesis.

"Whew—" With a sharp intake of breath, he forcefully opened his eyes and the Blue Light Shield around him instantly vanished!

"Damn, it was that simple!" Yusuf Zuck swore out loud, upset that such a simple task had wasted so much of his time!

However, the origins of the Book of Earth were mysterious, and it was closely related to the Purple Blood Beads. Now that it resided in his mind, he wasn’t sure if that was good or bad!

Regardless, he had no time to ponder whether it was good or bad, or even to test what special abilities had appeared after he had opened the four Blood Beads because he had someone to kill, someone to save!

With a whooshing sound, he dashed out, running and jumping quickly through the tunnel!

Light appeared ahead, the warm sunlight, and as Yusuf Zuck stepped out, he let out a long howl.

"Lily, I’m coming!" He stepped toward the west, his ferocious roar reaching as far as a hundred miles away, to the ears of those who were watching the spectacle.

Many people heard the words "I’m coming," and as these words fell, a cultivator at the Feather Transformation Stage appeared out of nowhere above where Mr. Ning and Koen Zuck were battling!

"Bryson Campbell!"

"God, Bryson Campbell isn’t dead, he’s here!"

"What does it matter if he’s here? He’s courting death!"

"Yusuf, run—uh—" Lily Case didn’t finish her sentence when she suddenly opened her mouth wide because, right above Yusuf’s head, clouds gathered, completely blocking the sun. Koen Zuck and Mr. Ning, who were fighting, immediately ceased their fight and swiftly retreated!

This minor cultivator had brought about a tribulation; he was about to undergo the Tribulation of the Nascent Soul!

At that moment, Koen Zuck was in the throes of battle lust and had exchanged several blows with Mr. Ning without feeling that Mr. Ning was particularly powerful. He didn’t take the newly arrived Bryson Campbell seriously at all and planned to kill Mr. Ning and then take Campbell’s head after his tribulation was over. Thinking this, he suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Never mind him, Mr. Ning, let’s change locations and continue. Once I’ve slaughtered you, then I’ll take that junior’s head."
