Chapter 924: Chapter 923: Collecting Another Monster

Ten days later, the team from Heaven and Earth Mystical Door on Hao Yue Star set out, carrying an imposing group of more than three hundred members. Among them were indeed three members from the Righteous Sect: Devin King, Miles O’Brien, and another named Wumao.

The three of them kept silent, trying to stay as low-key as possible within the crowd.

Of course, it wouldn’t have mattered if they had chosen not to keep a low profile, as no one really took them seriously. Not only were they disregarded by the members of Heaven and Earth Mystical Door, but people from other sects also looked down upon them with disdain, unanimously judging them as spineless for surrendering their most precious swordsmanship.

Once cultivators lose their backbone, they seldom achieve greatness. Therefore, everyone believed that the members of the former Righteous Sect would soon vanish into the annals of history, facing a grim fate within a few years.

Meanwhile, one of Yusuf Zuck’s avatars was hastily heading southeast. Toward the southeast of the Origin Star System was a Cultivation Planet named Liuyun Star, home to the main sect known as Liuyun Sect, where Lily Case’s family was located, according to Phoenix Thornton.

Thus, while one of Yusuf Zuck’s avatars stayed in Ling City, another rushed towards the Liuyun Sect.

Additionally, as the day of the Hero’s Assembly approached, many outsiders swarmed into Ling City, including some tribes and forces from Central Star, and even members of the largest human sect, the Holy Sect, had entered Ling City.

Moreover, many inns in Ling City were bursting at the seams; some outsiders could not even secure a room.

Yet, the inn that continued to astonish everyone was the one called ’Skeward Tower,’ which had not been known by that name before. It used to be called Yue Lai Tower until Bryson Campbell took over and renamed it Skeward Tower on the same day; the only services provided by Skeward Tower were food and drink, not accommodation.

You see, Yue Lai Tower was previously one of the top inns in Ling City, spanning half a street with rear housing that could accommodate at least two thousand to three thousand people. But now, Skeward Tower was no longer offering accommodations. Want a room? Look elsewhere, for Skeward Tower no longer housed guests.

Thus, other inns were overcrowded, with some sects even sharing rooms across different sects, and places like storerooms and barns were crammed with people. However, Skeward Tower remained empty and spacious.

Of course, during the day, Skeward Tower was bustling with noise, filled with people eating and drinking nonstop, all just to catch a glimpse of the legendary Bryson Campbell.

The proprietor of Skeward Tower, Bryson Campbell, would rise early each day to drink tea by the second-floor window of Skeward Tower, and he would sit there all day long. He welcomed those who came for drinks with enthusiasm and politely chatted with those who greeted him.

A person’s reputation spreads far like the shadow of a tall tree; Bryson Campbell was a man of influence. Though it was uncertain what would happen next, this legendary man was sure to have his unique legendary paths, with countless individuals seeking to become his disciples every day. In the eyes of minor cultivators, attaching themselves to Bryson Campbell was like connecting to wealth and prosperity, rising to the head and soaring to the skies.

Of course, up to this point, Bryson Campbell had not accepted any disciples. Yet, Jonah Burch, embodying fierce ferocity, had broken the legs of many who hoped to become disciples.

With Bryson Campbell residing in Skeward Tower to drink tea, he was not seen as particularly fierce or vicious. However, Jonah Burch was genuinely fierce and ruthless, perhaps due to developing wings, as there seemed to be a subtle change in his aura and demeanor. It could be said that if the rankings for a Second Level Earth Immortal were to be updated today, he would definitely be placed among the top ten.

Apart from Jonah Burch, a woman with mid-term crossing cultivation, known as Phoenix Thornton, joined Bryson Campbell daily for tea. Her background was also revealed: she was a minor character from the suburbs.

Additionally, on the eleventh day since the inn opened, another woman appeared. She was the mysterious woman who had battled with Bryson Campbell at the Sword Tower, and her identity had also been revealed.

From the distant star system of Heaven Spring Star, she was the daughter of the Heaven Spring Sect Master, Omar Gould, who had also entered the Hidden Sword Immortal Mansion three years ago and hadn’t emerged since.

Additionally, the inn had servers and chefs who had been part of the former Yue Lai Tower team. After acquiring Yue Lai Tower, Bryson Campbell retained them at a high price, deterring anyone from poaching his staff. Thus, although Skeward Tower’s food remained the same, it no longer offered accommodation.

On the twelfth day of Skeward Tower’s opening, a few drunkards, heavily intoxicated, sought to challenge Bryson Campbell’s Divine Skills. By the end, no one knew exactly what had transpired, but those drunkards spent the entire night kneeling outside Skeward Tower, drenched by the rain all night long.

On the thirteenth day, all those drunkards had become employees of Skeward Tower. Most importantly, all of these drunkards were level twelve major demons.

It was then that everyone remembered that Bryson Campbell had the ability to tame demons and promote Demon Cultivators. Weren’t Jonah Burch and the deceased Lily Fairy, among others, those who had offended him and then became his demon slaves? Moreover, he had also helped them undergo a change in their lineage.

Thus, ten more days passed, and on the morning of the twenty-fourth day since Skeward Tower’s opening, when the doors were flung open, the people who came for tea and drinks were shocked to discover that overnight, the staff of Skeward Tower had significantly increased.

"Everyone, look quickly, that waiter looks like... like... Demon Ape Sun San Niang!"

"And that one, seems to be Hundred Eyes Scholar!"

"That one, isn’t that Hundred Feet Poison King Wu Renxing?"

"My goodness, all of them are famous major demons, all top tier level twelve demons in the world, how did they all end up here working as waiters!"

"Altogether thirty-three major demons, all level twelve, long-established names."

"No, no, where are thirty-three? Thirty-three are just the waiters serving tea and water upfront, there are also guards behind..."

"My God, what on earth has happened?"

"Who knows? So many significant figures from the Demon Clan, it’s terrifying."

Numerous people, witnessing this scene, gulped down their saliva and were too afraid to enter Skeward Tower for a meal or drink anymore, genuinely terrified of being served by these fierce and formidable demons!

At this moment, Yusuf Zuck was sitting on the second floor by the window, sipping tea, of course, this was merely one of his avatars.

Over the past twenty days or so, he had released several avatars to infiltrate various places around the mystical city, moving exclusively at night, thus he had a clear understanding of specific situations in the mystical city. Also, whenever he encountered major demons at night, he promptly captured them. Therefore, in just over twenty days, he had captured seventy-two major demons. Some of these demons came in groups, and others came following the Demon Clan, but he only accepted level twelve demons, dismissing even level eleven.

So, within twenty-three days, he had quickly assembled seventy-two powerful and supremely loyal enforcers under him.

This was his preparation for any unexpected needs that might arise since he knew that his family members would gradually be arriving soon. Although he could create many avatars, mistakes were inevitable, but with so many major demons to guard and protect his residence, he felt much relieved.

Of course, by doing this, he had offended the entire Demon Clan, with some major demons even fleeing the mystical city overnight. On the streets of the mystical city, either openly or secretly, level twelve major demons had virtually disappeared.

Then he also received word that the Demon Clan was preparing to collectively seek retribution!
