Chapter 927: Chapter 926: Knock on the Door at Midnight

Lingcheng, three days later.

The Demon Clan gave Yusuf Zuck three days to release the invisible giant, issuing an ultimatum through a wanted order. It meant if the person was not released after three days, they would kill.

So three days later, when Skeward Tower opened its doors early, there was not a single diner. No one knew when the fight would start, and if it did start, it would definitely involve the innocent.

Yusuf Zuck changed into a set of black clothes, and all seventy-two demon servants made an appearance, completely surrounding Skeward Tower so that not even water could leak through.

"From this arrangement, it looks like Bryson Campbell is really going to have a true battle with the Demon Clan," said the numerous onlookers, which included humans, monks, nuns, and members of the Alien Race.

There was a major spectacle to see today, so much so that even the Spiritual News Pavilion sent out no less than a hundred scouts to broadcast live, delivering today’s prolonged battle to all corners via the Spiritual News.

However, after Yusuf Zuck made early preparations for battle, the Demon Clan still hadn’t arrived by noontime. Not a single one from the Demon Clan came, and even those from the Demon Clan inside Lingcheng voluntarily left the city.

Many people cursed the Demon Clan for their grand threats but minor actions. Others continued to wait and watch, convinced that the Demon Clan would come, for otherwise, the Demon Clan would lose all face.

Regrettably, the Demon Clan did not appear even as night fell.

"Master, we have learned through secret channels that the Demon Clan is also retreating from several other cities. The reason is unknown," said Jonah Burch, who had spent the entire day gathering information on the Demon Clan through various channels. Unfortunately, the Demon Clan’s actions this time were mysterious, and they had not let slip a single piece of information or hint.

Including the information gathered by other demon servants, no intelligence was obtained.

"Then let’s not wait any longer. Let’s eat and sleep," Yusuf Zuck stood up, stretched his limbs, and turned back towards Skeward Tower.

However, at this moment, the invisible giant suddenly pulled out a Message Jade Disc and, after a quick glance, was visibly stunned.

"My lord, we’ve received a message," said the invisible giant with a puzzled look on his face, as if he found it unbelievable.

Yusuf Zuck stopped, turned his head to look at him and said, "Tell me."

"Saintess Elijah Burch sent me a private message..." the invisible giant communicated via Divine Sense, "She asked me to inform you that the Demon Clan is gathering at the Myriad Demon Cave and there is internal conflict within them."

"Oh?" Yusuf Zuck’s eyebrows shot up, then he took a deep breath.

Elijah Burch had nine masters and one godfather, and was the leader of the top ten Saintesses, so she was now a high-ranking member of the Myriad Demon Cave. Yusuf Zuck had previously inquired about her situation from the invisible giant, thinking about what the former leader of the Dragon Group might have become after all these years.

He even considered whether Elijah Burch might secretly contact him.

And as expected, Elijah Burch contacted him through the invisible giant. However, after more than three thousand years had passed, people change. Elijah Burch was also a demon, so what she was really thinking and planning, Yusuf Zuck had no way of knowing.

If Elijah Burch had become his woman back then, he, Yusuf Zuck, would now trust her completely. But Elijah Burch was not his woman, at most a friend, so while the message from Elijah Burch might be credible, it could not be fully trusted.

"Come in and talk," Yusuf Zuck nodded and continued to walk into Skeward Tower.

Once inside Skeward Tower, he took the invisible giant’s Jade Dishware and immediately input a message to send back. The message said: Long time no see, I heard you’re doing well, and I’m doing well too. Putting the Demon Clan aside, I want to ask you, where are Sandy, Second Sandy, and Sandy?

Yusuf Zuck wasn’t asking about the current battle or trying to inquire about the Demon Clan’s movements. He only asked about the three girls.

The fate of the three little leopards was unknown; perhaps Elijah Burch knew.

After the message was sent, there was no response for quite a while, and Yusuf Zuck was not in a hurry, eating and drinking in the great hall of Skeward Tower while the other elder demons also feasted on meat and guzzled wine.

It wasn’t until nearly midnight, after waiting for a full four hours, that Yusuf Zuck’s Message Jade Disc flickered briefly: "Who said I was fine?"

She didn’t answer about Sandy’s whereabouts, but instead expressed her own distress!

"Cut the crap, where is Sandy?" Yusuf Zuck transmitted back.

"When you died years ago, you left behind a whole family. Some of us died, some fled, and in the end, we all scattered. Do you know how I have lived these past three thousand eight hundred years?" Elijah Burch transmitted back.

Yusuf Zuck didn’t continue the message exchange; instead, he waited silently. He had asked where Sandy was, and Elijah Burch was airing her grievances, so he waited for her to respond.

"Why have you stopped talking?"

"Sandy is with Grayson Martin and Landyn Torres!" Elijah Burch finally replied, revealing Sandy’s whereabouts: "But I don’t know the exact location because we haven’t been in contact!"

"Landyn Torres?" After reading the message, Yusuf Zuck was stunned for a moment. Landyn Torres must be the remarkable man who took Grayson Martin away that year, the one who wanted to take him as a disciple and also the man who had saved all his relatives!

After pondering for a while, Yusuf Zuck then replied: "If the Demon Clan dares to invade, kill them all without mercy. Spare none!"

"You’re still so domineering. However, times have changed. The Demon Clan’s ten Saints have existed for a long time. They cultivate their hearts, spirits, and bodies. They are beyond the Three Realms and not confined by the Five Elements, possessing vast Divine Skills that can move mountains and fill seas. I know you can kill Saints, but they are no longer just Saints in the simple sense. They are guardian gods left in this plane by higher plane tribes to protect the clan, and they can invoke the power of higher plane entities for support. So please don’t be stubborn; avoid conflicts where possible."

"In two months, I will arrive at Ling City. We can talk in person then."

"Also, don’t worry about safety for the next two months because only two of the ten Great Saints have emerged from seclusion. The other eight will leave seclusion in two months, and when that time comes, more than a hundred Demon Clan tribes will assemble and head there."

"Moreover, be wary of the human Holy Sect."

"Thank you." Yusuf Zuck transmitted back: "I also want to ask about the others. So far, I only know about Jiayun, Xinyi, and Grayson Martin. As for the rest, I have no idea whether they are alive or dead, or where they are. Do you know?"

"Ten years of life and death are boundless, let alone three thousand eight hundred years? Some people have died, some have ascended, and others are still hiding and surviving. Words cannot express the massive changes and vicissitudes of these three thousand eight hundred years. Wait for me; we’ll talk when we meet in two months. Don’t rashly contact me; I will actively notify you if there’s any news. Take care, I am me, I am called Elijah Burch, the same as three thousand eight hundred years ago, and it’s still me now."

Yusuf Zuck closed his eyes. Elijah Burch said some had died, some had ascended, and others were still hiding and surviving!

So then... who had died?

And from Elijah Burch’s tone, Yusuf Zuck could sense that those who had died were probably... likely those close to him; otherwise, she definitely wouldn’t have had this tone.

"Bang bang bang—bang bang bang—" Just then, as all the elder demons were silently eating, none daring to speak, the great door of Skeward Tower was suddenly knocked upon, and the knocker was in a hurry—practically pounding on the door!

"Who dares—seeking death!" All the elder demons suddenly stood up.

With a "wham," the door could not withstand the striking force and instantly shattered. Immediately after, two figures in black, wearing hats, burst in.

"Nobody move, it’s me!" The two figures in black raised their hands high and quickly removed their hats, revealing their identities as a man and a woman, who then grinned broadly at Yusuf Zuck.
