Chapter 895: Chapter 894: A Matter of Life and Death Grudge

Central Star, Ling City.

It had been six hours since Yusuf Zuck’s great battle against Rowan Ford and others, and during these six hours, the world had erupted in shock.

Seventeen twelfth-level Earth Immortals from Sword Tower, including Rowan Ford himself, were wiped out, Buddhism’s Kasyapa Arhat was slain, Loose Cultivator Brantley Sweeney had half his head chopped off, and that Yan Luo set a blaze before leaving, burning Sword Tower to the ground!

Headquarters of Sword Tower were actually destroyed by someone, this was simply too explosive, the biggest news in nearly ten thousand years, unheard of, the biggest of all.

"What’s called fierce? This is called fierce. What’s called ruthless? This is the definition of ruthless!"

"Yan Luo, Yan Luo, too powerful."

"I heard that Lily Fairy has also become his demon slave, and who knows what he fed her, but after Lily Fairy transformed into her true form, her feathers turned seven colors, and a halo of seven colors appeared above her head."

"So powerful, this person is too formidable."

"Sawyer Ford is still in Hidden Sword Immortal Mansion and hasn’t come out yet, but I’m afraid he’ll probably cough up blood when he does, right?"

"It is said that branches of Sword Tower everywhere are already empty!"

"It is rumored that he and the fairy Heidi Wilcox of Jade Maiden Sect were childhood sweethearts?"

"But why would he want to destroy Sword Tower?"

"No idea."

"Does anyone know where he went?"

"Not a clue, he teleported away with those three people."

"Hey, just got news, the name Yan Luo comes from a legend of Buddhism from another dimensional world, that world also has an Underworld, and the judge there is called Yan Luo Wang, a god who controls the life, death, and reincarnation of mortals, also a fiendish and deadly deity. There is a saying, ’If Yan Luo commands you to die at the third watch, you will not survive till the fifth watch.’"

"What? So Yan Luo is just a pseudonym he adopted, not his real name? He’s just the Yan Luo Wang who harvests lives!"

"Right, the implication is that he’s the judge overseeing life, death, and reincarnation!"

"Phew—how arrogant!"

"But arrogance comes with the capital to back it up, Yan Luo Wang, Yan Luo Wang, the judging king of life and death, truly fitting for him!"

At this moment, all cultivators in Ling City were talking about the unprecedented epic battle that occurred six hours ago; a Mahayana junior cultivator single-handedly fighting against twenty twelfth-level Earth Immortals, ultimately killing nineteen and subduing one. Such battle achievements were simply earth-shattering, enough to stun all the cultivators under the heavens.

As for the origins of the junior cultivator, no one knew; it was as if he appeared out of thin air, then swept through everything.

...

At the same time, in a desolate and uninhabited mountainous area of the Central Continent, Lily Fairy was kneeling at Yusuf Zuck’s feet, her head lowered, waiting for Yusuf Zuck’s command.

"Which power do you belong to, and how did you get involved with Sword Tower?" Yusuf Zuck asked indifferently.

"Replying to my master, I am the Clan Leader of the Hundred Spirits Tribe. Because Sawyer Ford saved my Hundred Spirits Tribe from a crisis years ago, I owe Sword Tower a debt of gratitude. A few days ago, Rowan Ford sent a message asking for help, which is why I came to Sword Tower," Lily Fairy responded.

"Hundred Spirits Tribe? Are you a Lark?" Yusuf Zuck had seen Lily Fairy transform into her true form, a seven-colored Lark, but she seemed to have also awakened some kind of bloodline because a halo of seven colors emerged above her head.

"Yes," Lily Fairy answered.

"Then do you know if there are any other powers backing Sawyer Ford?" Yusuf Zuck asked curiously.

"It seems that a powerful figure from a higher plane supports Sawyer Ford. The inheritance he received was left by a Sword Immortal from a higher plane, so Sawyer Ford is considered his disciple. That Sword Immortal was incredibly powerful in the higher plane, so none of the major forces dared to provoke him!"

"Oh? And what about Arhat Kashyapa and Brantley Sweeney?"

"They are both old acquaintances of Sawyer Ford. Brantley Sweeney is a Loose Cultivator without any Sect or school affiliation, while Arhat Kashyapa is a wandering monk or Arhat of Buddhism. It seems that his ties with Sawyer Ford are personal and not related to Buddhism as a whole."

"Hm, I understand, you may rise," Yusuf Zuck said indifferently with a nod. The reason why Sawyer Ford acted so boldly and fearlessly was firstly due to his own formidable strength, and secondly because he had a good master. Even though his master wasn’t here, this world was connected to the higher planes in countless ways. A master from the higher planes could likely descend to this world at any time.

After Lily Fairy stood up, Yusuf Zuck didn’t speak for quite a while, instead deep in thought. Jonah Burch and Lily Fairy also remained half-bowed, ready to receive Yusuf Zuck’s orders at any moment.

"I entrust you both with a secret mission." After a moment, Yusuf Zuck turned to Jonah Burch and Lily Fairy, "Later, you will both head to the Jade Maiden Sect, infiltrate inside the Jade Maiden Sect Gate, and stay on your toes to collect and find out everything about ’Xu Xianzi,’ that is, Heidi Wilcox."

"If there’s any news of Heidi Wilcox, notify me immediately; even more so if she returns."

"Yes," the two of them said respectfully as they bowed.

"If Xu Xianzi hasn’t returned by the time of the Hero Conference, you two will follow the people from the Jade Maiden Sect to the Hero Conference in Spirit City. We will meet there!"

"Yes," they bowed again in agreement.

"Be careful out there. Go ahead," Yusuf Zuck said, waving his hand.

"Master, take care," they said, bowing to Yusuf Zuck before soaring into the sky and rapidly darting to the north.

"Selena, I also have another matter I need your help with!" Yusuf Zuck then turned to Selena Gould.

"Master, please say it. I’ll go through fire and water, putting all my effort into it!" Selena Gould took a deep breath. This was the first time Yusuf Zuck had called her ’Selena.’

Yusuf Zuck thought for a moment and said, "My kin and friends should have all come to this world, whether they are alive or dead. Right now, I only have news of one person, but I don’t know where she has gone. Therefore, I’m asking you for help to discreetly post a message at the Spiritual News Agency—a missing person’s notice!"

"No problem, keep on and tell me the details," Selena Gould nodded repeatedly. This task wasn’t difficult; she just needed to go to the branch of the Spiritual News Agency, and there wouldn’t be any danger involved.

"Hmm..." Yusuf Zuck pondered and then directed, "Say this: Mr. Zuck, Chairman of Tianyi Investment Company, is alive. Lunar New Year’s Day in Spirit City is where we’ll meet!"

"Um... what is a Chairman of Tianyi Investment Company?" Selena Gould asked, finding the term rather strange, as she had never heard such a term before.

"Just publish it word for word in the Spiritual News without omitting anything, and make sure to publish it for several issues consecutively," he instructed.

"Alright, I will publish it without leaving out a single word."

"Then go ahead, and after you’re done, find a place to hide."

"Where should I go to find you?" Selena Gould became anxious. Was Yusuf Zuck’s intention to shake her off?

"You don’t need to look for me. I’ll make an appearance at the Hero Conference on Lunar New Year’s Day, and you’ll see me there!"

"Okay... alright." Selena Gould responded, a bit dejected.

Yusuf Zuck smiled, then suddenly took out a Green Spirit Fruit and tossed it to her, saying, "This can increase a thousand years of arduous cultivation for you. After consuming it, you should be able to attain the level of a Twelfth Level Earth Immortal!"

"Thank you, Master." Selena Gould nodded vigorously, "I’ll go take care of this matter first, and once it’s done, I’ll find a place to go into seclusion and break through," she said before flying off.

Once she left, Yusuf Zuck also stood up, his eyes flickering ceaselessly. He was about to head to the God Descendant Sect, but he did not know whether those four powerful people from the higher planes back then were inside, nor whether he was strong enough now to kill those four.

He remembered their names—the woman was Khloe Miller, the Monk was called Reality and Illusion, the Demon Cultivator was Stanley Dickson, and Chad Lopez!

Between them, there was a life and death vendetta!
