Chapter 831: Chapter 830: How Do You Know What Divine Skills Are?

An era of great change had arrived, and Capital City was now a gathering of illustrious figures— not only were Earth Immortals subdued by the Qing Emperor, but the Saint Dragon Pavilion, the Ten Major Sects, and even those second- and third-rate sects also declared their loyalty to the Royal Family.

In just a few days, cultivators and sects that received the imperial edicts were flocking towards Capital City, causing the city’s eight major gates to be flooded with people.

Yusuf Zuck felt as if a grand assembly of heroes was about to commence, and the Qing Emperor seemed poised to become the martial world’s Alliance Hierarch.

Of course, it was none of his business. Right now, he just wanted to pick up Bryson Campbell, Anais Dillon, and Uriel Arellano, and then go to the ruins of the former dynasty to retrieve that so-called Creation Pill.

He must return to the secular world to check in. It had been three years since his departure, and the people there might be worried about him.

Fortunately, no one had made a move on Bryson Campbell. Though there were more people surveilling him, Bryson remained free, still holding his birdcage while dining at the restaurant opposite Heaven and Earth, gathering all kinds of intelligence.

Yusuf Zuck took a private room in the restaurant, then the waiter Anais Dillon entered, followed shortly by the chef Uriel Arellano, and finally Bryson Campbell with two large demons.

Since the private room was sealed and guarded by Yusuf Zuck’s telekinesis, no one saw what that little stutterer was up to inside!

About ten minutes later, Yusuf Zuck alone leapt out of the private room’s window, while by that time, Bryson Campbell, Anais Dillon, Uriel Arellano, and the two large demons had already been taken into his Hidden Rooster Cave.

Bryson was reluctant to leave Flower Sister and the girls of Heaven and Earth, but this time Yusuf Zuck didn’t allow him to linger and decisively took him away, of course, assuring him that they would return.

Moreover, it was unlikely that anyone would harm Flower Sister and the others; after all, they were courtesans who hadn’t committed any heinous crimes, so who would target them?

However, just as Yusuf Zuck was stepping out of the window, the atmosphere on the street suddenly grew tense. Then, over a dozen people rapidly closed in on him, encircling him in their midst.

This street in the painting district had been infiltrated extensively—ninety percent of the people there were spies—so all of Yusuf Zuck’s movements were being watched, with agents positioned all around the restaurant.

Therefore, the moment Yusuf Zuck jumped down from the building, over a dozen people had already surrounded him, among them individuals who had achieved Divinity Transformation, Return to Void, and even Fusion mastery.

"If I’m not mistaken, are you Mr. Bryson Campbell?" a Fusion initial stage spy suddenly greeted Yusuf Zuck with a cupped fist salute.

As he spoke, more and more cultivators gathered on the street, their cultivation levels either Golden Core or Nascent Soul, and even people rushed to the rooftops to glare ominously at Yusuf Zuck!

Yusuf Zuck tilted his head to glance at these people. They had guessed he was Bryson Campbell, yet they still dared to surround him? They were quite bold!

"No, these people share the same aura, full of murderous intent—they are assassins!" Yusuf’s eyebrows shot up with sudden realization. There were individuals known as assassins, devoted to a master, casting their lives to the wind, blindly obeying their master’s commands. They did not fear death, for their most splendid moment in life was to die; thus, they had no fear of death itself!

"Huff~" Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath. He didn’t reply to the Fusion initial stage spy, instead turning his body slightly to look towards the palace.

Over a dozen streaks of light rushed forth, with Dean Austin leading, Dax Blackwell, Jonas Hopkins, and others arriving on surrounding rooftops.

Yusuf Zuck had long known they pledged loyalty to the Qing Emperor, subdued by that dragon’s might. After some thought, he suddenly shook his body, returning to his original form, and mockingly said to Dean Austin and Dax Blackwell among the others, "Believe it or not, I can kill all of you?"

"I don’t believe it!" Suddenly, a tall and thin middle-aged man, dressed in a golden robe, with his hair tied up, and noticeably bow-legged, stepped into the air above the main street of the gallery.

With high cheekbones and deep-set eyes, his gaze was fierce and penetrating—he was the dragon transformed into the human form of Dean Austin! Surprisingly, there was not even a slight hint of demonic aura emanating from him, and it was unknown how he achieved that.

As soon as he arrived, an overwhelming pressure blanketed the surroundings, causing the sky to darken, as if even the temperature had plummeted suddenly.

Yusuf Zuck was certain that this dragon’s cultivation level exceeded that of a third-rank Earth Immortal, much stronger than the third-rank Earth Immortal Harrow Graves.

"Hehe, little cultivator, these past days while I roamed the earth freely, every single move of yours was in my heart. Indeed, you are very powerful, able to monitor the happenings of Capital City from tens of thousands of miles away!"

"What?" The words of the dragon made Yusuf Zuck’s body tense up!

"But what you saw was an illusion. Do you know what I have been doing these days? Hahaha, you nonsensical being, you actually dared to come to Capital City. It seems they were right about you; you are someone who values loyalty and righteousness greatly!"

"All you little demon spawns, come out!" Dean Austin flashed a mysterious smile, then with a sudden sweep of his wide sleeves, a black hole appeared, from which numerous figures leapt out.

No, not people, but demons, each exuding a strong demonic breath. The weakest among them had reached the Mahayana stage while there were quite a few who had Crossed the Tribulation. There were also more than a dozen Earth Immortals, with the strongest one having achieved the fourth rank!

A sharp twinge gripped the bottom of Yusuf Zuck’s heart, what was going on?

"Haha!" Dean Austin saw Yusuf Zuck’s increasingly grave expression and laughed heartily, "I can roam the Great Void in spirit, my body unmoving, yet my soul can traverse the Nine Provinces and the Four Seas. So, with time on my hands, I’ve recruited some little demons. I had no choice, I promised the young Azure Emperor, so all the nearby little demons are here."

"Are you curious how, despite your surveillance of Capital City and my movements, you missed this?"

"Hmph, you lowly creature, what do you know of Divine Skills? Do you think killing an Earth Immortal is so impressive? Do you think you are invincible? Do you think possessing some sort of Sword of Banishment makes you mighty?"

"I’ll tell you, I am a true dragon, a Four-clawed True Dragon rare in this world. I roamed freely in Ancient Times when your ancestors were still but mud!"

"Damn it, I’ve spoken too much. So here’s the deal, I give you two choices: death, or pledge allegiance to that young Azure Emperor. As much as I want to kill you, the young Azure Emperor thinks you’re useful, damn it!" Dean Austin cursed, seemingly very reluctant!

"My king, why waste words with him? How about I capture him alive for you?" Suddenly, a fourth-rank Earth Immortal—or rather, a fourth-rank Earth Demon—stepped forward with a chilling intent fixed on Yusuf Zuck.

This Earth Demon was at the fourth rank, much more powerful than the third-rank Earth Immortal Harrow Graves, for demon cultivators inherently possess Innate Divine Abilities. Normally, a third-rank Earth Demon could utterly defeat a third-rank Earth Immortal.

And a fourth-rank Earth Demon had already surpassed a third-rank Earth Immortal by an entire rank, so the aura emanating from his body put such a heart-pounding pressure on Yusuf Zuck!

"Indeed, I would be bullying him if I were to take action myself—too unexciting. Capture him alive. Don’t kill him yet. After searching his soul and discovering the secrets hidden within him, then hand him over to the young Azure Emperor for punishment," Dean Austin said disdainfully.

"As you command!" The Earth Demon roared with excitement: "Little thief, I shall show you the vastness of my Divine Skills!" Saying that, he viciously attacked Yusuf Zuck!
