Chapter 922: Chapter 921: Doppelganger

The three demands of Zhengyi Sect were not excessive, but for the powerful Heaven and Earth Mystical Door, two of Zhengyi Sect’s three demands were excessive.

Because once Zhengyi Sect was merged, resource allocation and such would be dictated by Heaven and Earth Mystical Door. Ideas like resource inclination or setting up branch locations were out of the question. That’s why Conor Hopkins, the leader of the sect, rebuked Elder Ye on the spot, "Since Zhengyi Sect wishes to join our Heaven and Earth Mystical Door, then everything must be handled according to the rules of Heaven and Earth Mystical Door."

"Regarding your first point, it’s good that you wish to see the world. At the Hero’s Assembly, held every three hundred years, we can give you two additional spots, but there’s no need to preserve Zhengyi Sect’s residence. After the merger, everyone from Zhengyi Sect must join our Heaven and Earth Mystical Door, and we must break them up. There can absolutely be no formation of small cliques, and the gates of Zhengyi Sect will become a vacationing spot for our Heaven and Earth Mystical Door."

"And there is no need for resource inclination, because after you integrate into our Heaven and Earth Mystical Door, we will treat everyone fairly."

"Otherwise, if we leave you with your gates and you start anew, and resources still flow towards you, what does that mean? Change of name without change of lineage, that cannot achieve true unification." Conor Hopkins, though unremarkable in appearance, had an outsize aura, his gaze intense, even carrying a hint of murderous intent. He was about to show Devin King and the others a lesson in power.

Negotiate terms with Heaven and Earth Mystical Door? You need to have the qualifications for that.

"If that’s the case, then we will have to think this through for a long time," said Elder Ye and Devin King as they shook their heads simultaneously.

In fact, they mainly wanted to buy time, especially for this trip to the Central Star with Heaven and Earth Mystical Door.

"Are you here to play games with me?" Conor Hopkins became chilling, and mocked with a sneer, "I see no sincerity in you."

"Leader Conor Hopkins, please do not be angry," Miles O’brien took a deep breath and stood up, his face looking terrible, "Every word we say is true, and we genuinely want to join Heaven and Earth Mystical Door. After all, with your sect’s resources we can go further and cultivate faster. When I met Sister Louise, she once said that Heaven and Earth Mystical Door is the banner of our Hao Yue Star and even its guardian deity. We have no intention of playing games with you."

"Then I also have three conditions," Conor Hopkins said in a slightly softer tone, "First, all members and disciples of Zhengyi Sect must join Heaven and Earth Mystical Door and be managed by us."

"Second, the complete Chase the Sun and Windswept Rain Sword must be handed over, in its entirety."

"Third, the gates of Zhengyi Sect shall become a separate estate of Heaven and Earth Mystical Door. It can only be a place for rest and cannot retain a single Zhengyi Sect disciple."

"These are the three terms. If you do not agree..." Conor Hopkins looked coldly at Devin King, Elder Ye, and Miles O’brien, "then do not blame me for being ruthless."

"Leader Conor Hopkins speaks the truth, but may we have some time? As you know, there are many mundane affairs within the sect that we need to take care of, along with other matters. We might not be able to relocate everything in a short period!"

"What can’t be relocated? Just go back and notify everyone to move. It can all be done within three days. How much time do you want?" Conor Hopkins looked at Miles O’brien.

"Three days won’t work, it’s too short. We have to go back and convince the other members and disciples, and we need to wait for the Spiritual Medicine in our back mountain’s medicinal garden to fully mature. So we need at least half a year’s time."

"Half a year? That’s fine, but first hand over the Chase the Sun and Windswept Rain Sword." Conor Hopkins scratched his chin; he was only interested in the sword.

"Since we have already agreed to hand over the Chase the Sun and Windswept Rain Sword, we will undoubtedly do so. But can we participate in this Hero’s Assembly?" Miles O’brien asked again.

"What are you attending the Hero Conference for? Do you really think you can rank as an Earth Immortal?" Conor Hopkins laughed oddly, while the other Elders and people also shook their heads, laughing. The Heaven and Earth Mystical Door was really just a bunch of bumpkins, eager to see the world to the point of madness.

"The Hero Conference can be considered a kind of sentiment for our whole Mystical Door sect!" Miles O’Brien shook his head with a smile, "As you all know, our Mystical Door is a small sect with limited influence. For countless years, every three hundred years during the Hero Conference, your Heaven and Earth Mystical Door always leads the outstanding members of other sects to the Central Star, yet our Mystical Door has never been included. We just want to prove ourselves, that we too can be heroes!"

"Ah, I understand this sentiment very well!" The graceful young man nodded repeatedly, smiling, "Always being looked down upon, always considered inferior, so what might seem like a trivial matter to us, is a huge deal in the eyes of the Mystical Door. That’s quite normal."

"Hehe, if you want to go, then go. In ten days, we’ll be departing for the Central Star. When the time comes, I’ll give a few spots to your Mystical Door," Conor Hopkins finally relented and agreed.

"Thank you, Conor Hopkins, for helping us fulfill our wish," Miles O’Brien was elated, and Devin King along with Elder Ye both continuously bowed with thanks.

"Alright, now hand over the Pursuing Sun and Rain Swordsmanship, and then I will send someone with you back to organize your sect. In six months, once the Spiritual Medicine in the medicinal garden is ready for harvesting, join the Heaven and Earth Mystical Door as disciples, officially," Conor Hopkins said.

"Okay, let’s do that," Devin King reluctantly produced a Jade Dishware, happily offering it with both hands.

This Jade Dishware contained the Pursuing Sun and Rain Swordsmanship, all organized by Abram Trujillo, convincing enough to pass off as the real thing.

"Haha, then you can go back and wait. However, in ten days, send three people over to gather, to head to the Hero Conference. Remember, there are only three spots!" After Conor Hopkins took the swordsmanship Jade Dishware, he turned and left, eager to verify its authenticity.

...

Meanwhile, at the same time as these arrangements were being made, over on the Central Star, Yusuf Zuck lavishly purchased a large inn, intentionally leaking the news that he was sitting the inn, letting everyone know he was in Spirit City, right inside this very inn.

Furthermore, knowing that several fierce battles were likely ahead, he went into seclusion again the day he acquired the inn, preparing to unlock another Blood Bead.

He had no choice but to unlock it, for during the Hero Conference, chaos would surely ensue; Saints from the Hidden Sword Immortal Mansion would emerge, the five ancient noble families would appear, and even individuals from higher planes might come. Moreover, Tyler Nash, that cunning bastard, was certainly lurking in the shadows. It would be hard for Yusuf to cope with such a situation single-handedly, given his current realm.

Therefore, by unlocking another Blood Bead, his strength would triple, and if he managed to unlock three beads, it would multiply twenty-seven times, making him an adversary not even the powerhouses from higher planes could match.

"Huff—Let’s unlock it. Let’s see what new special abilities await!" When Yusuf Zuck produced a piece of Top-grade Spirit Jade, it instantly shattered, and as his whole body shook, a Blood Bead in the depths of his mind exploded, swiftly merging into his soul bead.

Twenty-two beads, Thought Overlay immediately reached two hundred and seventy million miles, and at the same time, information resonated from the depths of his soul. The message consisted of one word: Clone.

"Clone?" Yusuf Zuck was taken aback. Was Clone also a special ability? He immediately started to closely examine it.

However, as he reviewed the entire content, his breathing became more and more rapid, his chest heaving violently, his eyes blazing with a fierce light!
