Chapter 889: Chapter 888: Ranked Only 8th

There are many cities on the Central Star, such as the most famous Spirit City, Bright Holy City, Blue Stone City, Tianbei Province, and so forth.

At this moment, Yusuf Zuck and Selena Gould, once again in disguise, were in the city of Tianbei Province.

The city, named Tianbei Province, covers an extensive area, with a total population reaching into the hundreds of millions.

Beyond the Tianbei city limits, there are many manors, with countless villages, forts, and towns. In short, there were people everywhere.

Moreover, one could see Buddhist cultivators, Alien Races, and Demon Cultivators on the streets, but not a single member of the Ming Tribe or Demon Tribe was to be seen.

It seemed as though humans, Buddhist cultivators, Alien Races, and Demon Cultivators were able to coexist peacefully.

Zuck and Gould, like two drops in the ocean, blended into the crowd without drawing any attention; no one noticed them, nor did anyone give them a second glance.

Quite simply, the Central Star brimmed with powerful figures, and experts were as common as ants, making it difficult for two seemingly insignificant individuals to attract any notice.

"Sir, the most explosive news on the Central Star right now is that you have arrived," Gould communicated to Zuck through whispers as they walked among the bustling crowds, using Divine Sense to converse quietly.

Divine Sense communication meant sending one’s thoughts to another, who would then receive the message.

"Mm, Jonah Burch’s target is too big. His appearance alone is proof enough that I have come, hehe," Zuck smiled faintly. He and Gould had separated from Jonah Burch, who had gone to Spirit City because that’s where the headquarters of the Sword Tower were located.

"Has Jonah Burch sent any news?" Gould asked nervously.

"The Sword Tower is very calm, with no signs of disturbance, nor have they closed their doors for a shutdown. Nothing seems amiss. However, Spirit City is now a melting pot of all sorts; many people have entered Spirit City, and the inns close to the Sword Tower have long been fully booked," Zuck said as he fiddled with a Message Jade Disc in his hand. This type of Message Jade Disc was limited to short-distance communications, meaning it only worked on the same star, but if someone were on two different stars, then information could not be transmitted.

"What about Sawyer Ford? Is there any news about him?" Gould pressed.

"There is. Jonah Burch claims that Sawyer Ford has also entered the Hidden Sword Immortal Mansion and hasn’t come out yet."

"So, what do we do next?" Gould asked, looking at Zuck.

"We wait for news from Jonah Burch. I think the Sword Tower will probably come looking for him. For now, let’s just have some fun here," Zuck put away the Message Jade Disc and led Gould into a tavern.

As it wasn’t mealtime, the tavern only had two occupied tables: one hosted three men, while the other was filled with young women who were quietly listening to one girl speaking.

Zuck had changed his height and appearance to look completely different from before, while Gould had reverted to her original appearance. Together, they made a striking pair and caught a glance from the patrons at both tables as they entered.

Gould ordered four dishes and a pot of wine; then, she pricked up her ears to listen, as the chatty girl continued talking nonstop.

"The White-Winged Tiger, Jonah Burch, has already arrived in Spirit City. Now people from all corners—three mountains, five peaks, nine rivers, and four seas—are heading to Spirit City. However, those two mysterious individuals have not shown themselves, but they must surely be hiding in Spirit City, waiting for the opportunity to strike."

"Doesn’t that person have a name?" a woman asked curiously.

"If they had a name, they wouldn’t be called mysterious individuals. Their origin, identity, and Cultivation Level and Divine Skills remain unknown. Rumor has it that the Divine Skills he uses have never been seen by others."

"Also, people say he’s a small cultivator at the Early Mahayana Stage, but some speculate that he could be a Second Level Earth Immortal, presenting a mere illusion. After all, a Mahayana killing a Second Level Earth Immortal? That would be laughable!"

"So why is this person causing trouble for the Sword Tower? Doesn’t he know that Sawyer Ford of the Sword Tower is a supreme Second Level Earth Immortal? Also, Sawyer Ford has deep connections with several major tribes, and the Sword Tower itself is backed by the shadows of those tribes. Offending the Sword Tower is equivalent to offending those tribes. Even if this person possesses vast Divine Skills, they would still be outnumbered, wouldn’t they?"

"I heard he’s looking for ancient records from thirteen hundred years ago, the case files, yet the specifics are not known."

"Senior Sister, shall we go to Spirit City later as well? We can use the Teleportation formation and get there quickly. It would be nice to watch the excitement!" the babbling young woman said with an excited expression.

"No, what’s there to watch? We mustn’t add complications," said the second senior sister, who appeared to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a cultivation level of only eighth-level Earth Immortal. The others were all about sixth or seventh level; their cultivation wasn’t high.

Yusuf Zuck and Selena Gould just smiled wryly at this moment. Selena Gould also filled a cup of wine for Yusuf Zuck, and they clinked their cups together.

Right then, a few young men and women entered the tavern from outside, led by a man in white. He was extremely handsome and carefree, and his cultivation was unexpectedly that of a twelfth-level Earth Immortal.

"Sister Xue, we are here!" The man laughed heartily as he entered and then walked straight towards the group of women.

The women’s expressions turned serious in an instant, and they all stood up to salute the man in white, saying in unison, "Greetings, Brother Zhuang, greetings to all brothers and sisters."

"Heh, Sister Xue, where’s the letter?" the man in white asked directly.

"It’s right here." The second senior sister took out a paper letter and handed it over.

The man in white immediately opened it and read it quickly.

"Hmph, they have no idea what’s good for them." After reading it, he shook his hand suddenly, and the letter turned to powder. He also cast a cold glance at the women, saying, "I will visit your Jade Maiden Sect Gate right now, hmph!" With that, the man in white left with a flick of his sleeve, followed closely by the young men and women behind him.

"Sir, the Jade Maiden Sect is a third-rate sect, and such sects are often minor factions struggling to survive between the cracks; they must rely on larger sects for protection, otherwise, it is hard to keep going. To my knowledge, the Jade Maiden Sect only has five twelfth-level Earth Immortals. It looks like they have offended the sect of the man in white. Since he refers to himself as ’young master’ and is also a twelfth-level Earth Immortal with the surname Zhuang, that must undoubtedly be the Blue Mountain Sect, whose Sect Master’s surname is Zhuang and is a first-rate faction of the Central Star."

"It’s none of our business," Yusuf Zuck shook his head; everything in this world was none of his concern.

"What should we do now?" asked the eloquent junior sister, panicking and looking at the second senior sister with a frightened gaze.

"We can only hurry back to our sect and hope that the one surnamed Zhuang won’t be too hard on our Jade Maiden Sect." While speaking, the second senior sister put down two mid-grade spirit stones and then strode out.

"It’s all the fault of that one surnamed Xu; always giving everyone sweet looks. Now, look what happened—not only have the young sect masters of Qiankun Sect and Fengyun Sect come to ask for her hand in marriage, but also the newly emerged Zhuang young sect master from Blue Mountain Sect. She has truly dragged our Jade Maiden Sect into a terrible mess."

"Keep your voice down, and don’t talk nonsense," the second senior sister shouted coldly as she turned her head, then leaped into the sky and sped away.

At that moment, Selena Gould began to laugh and said, "Now I understand what’s going on."

"Small sects depend on the big ones and have to pay contributions, offering up spirit stones, treasures, or making alliances through marriage. And these high-status individuals from great sects, with their numerous wives and concubines, can indeed pick and choose women at will from the smaller sects."

"It looks like that Young Master Zhuang has taken a fancy to a certain ’Miss Xu’ from the Jade Maiden Sect. And it’s not just him; several young sect masters are interested in her, so the Jade Maiden Sect finds itself in a difficult situation—after all, one woman can’t marry three husbands."

"You seem quite familiar with the Jade Maiden Sect?" Yusuf Zuck put down his chopsticks and asked.

"Mhm," Selena Gould nodded, "Even though my Heaven Spring Sect is on the edge of the star system, without access to Divine Skills or Spiritual News, my father has always collected some information about the various sects of the Central Star over the years. I have also been to the Central Star before for an alliance meeting and have met people from the Jade Maiden Sect. Although the Jade Maiden Sect is a third-rate sect, they are famous for the stunning beauties they produce."

"In our Cultivation World, there are ten great beauties, each as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, so there is a beauty ranking for these ten great beauties, and the Jade Maiden Sect has two that are ranked in the top ten!"

"What is the name of this ’Miss Xu’?" Yusuf Zuck asked, lifting his cup of wine.

"Her name is Heidi Wilcox, and she ranks eighth in the list of top ten beauties."

"Heidi Wilcox?" Yusuf Zuck was taken aback for a moment but then shook all over. That name... that name... that name...
