Chapter 937: Chapter 936: Encountered

"Do you know where the ancient nobility’s old den is located?" In Skeward Tower, Yusuf Zuck’s original body emerged from the Soul Pearl and summoned Phoenix Thornton alone to the guest room.

The current situation was that all the enemies were on the move, and they were also trying to gain the upper hand by any means necessary. Yusuf Zuck was well aware that everyone had probably already investigated him thoroughly—his abilities, which Divine Techniques he used, and so on. The enemies must have studied him and then formulated plans specifically targeted at him.

That included searching for his woman in the Blue Sea and Cloud Sky, which was all part of the enemy’s plan.

Since the enemies were all prepared, he could not just sit and wait for death. Although he was now capable enough to not fear the powerful beings from higher planes and had the power to reach the heavens and penetrate the earth, it was still very necessary to make all the necessary preparations. At the very least, he had to avoid letting the enemies find his weak points.

The arrival of Zeph Trujillo served as a wake-up call for him; therefore, he also had to start preparing a response plan.

"I only know that the ancient five great noble families lived on a planet called ’Remnant Star’, but no one knows exactly where Remnant Star is located or in which direction. This information is a secret of the ancient five great tribes. It is their old den; hence it is extremely mysterious and hidden. Many have searched for it, but none have found it!"

"Then help me sketch out maps of the Demon Clan’s Sacred Mountain and the myriad of demon caves, as well as the vulnerabilities of the Holy Sect, the location of Buddha’s Thunder Temple, and the old dens of the Alien Race!" Yusuf Zuck said to Phoenix Thornton.

"Okay, but you’ll have to wait one day. I need to consult some related materials and then prepare a detailed itinerary for you!" Phoenix Thornton didn’t ask Yusuf Zuck what he needed it for, assuming that if Yusuf Zuck commanded it, then all she had to do was comply.

"I’ve noticed that the energy within you has been unstable lately. Is it because of the Elixir left by your father that you’ve consumed?" Yusuf Zuck finished discussing business and began to show concern for Phoenix Thornton.

"Yes." Phoenix Thornton nodded. "It will take a few more days to digest, and once all the energy has been diluted and my realm is stable, my tribulation will arrive. You’ll have to protect me then," Phoenix Thornton said with a smile, winking at Yusuf Zuck.

"Actually, I don’t want you to ascend," Yusuf Zuck replied with a smile. "Because I’m afraid you’ll Cut off Mortal Ties. After you ascend to the Element World, if you become estranged from your kin and don’t even recognize me as a friend, that would be truly meaningless!"

"If I really become estranged from my kin, then when the time comes, you can just capture me, lock me in a cage, and retell me the old stories every day. If that’s not enough, you could steal a secret Art and Method from Buddhism called the Reincarnation Sutra. Once you’ve cultivated it, you’ll be able to make me remember the past and, consequently, remember you!"

"Haha, you’re the one saying this. You better not back out when the time comes!" Yusuf Zuck laughed heartily.

"I promise I won’t, but I’m more worried that you’ll forget about me!" Phoenix Thornton chuckled. "With so many intimate female friends around, once they all return to your side, you’ll forget about me!"

"I absolutely won’t." Yusuf Zuck smiled and shook his head.

"Let’s shake hands then. I hope that thousands of years or even millions of years from now, you’ll still be you, I’ll still be me, and we’ll remain good friends. Friends are for life!" Phoenix Thornton said, stretching out her hand.

"True, friends are for life!" Yusuf Zuck’s hand firmly clasped Phoenix Thornton’s.

"Alright, I’m going to make that map for you now." After holding hands for a few seconds, Phoenix Thornton, seeming somewhat embarrassed, withdrew her hand. After all, she was a young lady, and it was customary that men and women should not touch hands lightly.

Yusuf Zuck watched Phoenix Thornton’s retreating figure, pondering what was truly in her heart. He had never fully understood her. Her warmth and favorable feelings towards him were not romantic in nature; she had never shown any ambiguity or spoken out of turn. However, Yusuf Zuck could see that her eyes held admiration when she looked at him.

Indeed, Phoenix Thornton had told Yusuf Zuck that her admiration for him was genuine, but it was simply that—admiration. It seemed to form a kind of faith, unsullied by anything else.

After Phoenix Thornton left, Selena Gould cautiously entered the guest room. Carrying a teapot, she gently poured tea for Yusuf Zuck.

These past days, she had been very quiet, seemingly growing more distant from Yusuf Zuck, turning into a little maid serving tea and water.

"Sit down. You don’t have to pour tea for me in the future; that’s not your job." Yusuf Zuck gestured for Selena Gould to sit, and she nervously took the seat opposite him. She was genuinely nervous because Yusuf Zuck rarely joked with her, and their relationship was rather ambiguous.

"No news from your father yet? These past few days I’ve been so busy I forgot to ask," Yusuf Zuck said with concern.

"No, not yet," Selena Gould shook her head. "I don’t know what happened, but Father, he... he has a good relationship with the Holy Sect," Selena Gould said, glancing at Yusuf Zuck.

Yusuf Zuck knew what Selena Gould was thinking, but he didn’t continue the topic. Instead, he looked at her face and said, "It’s very likely that after the heroic assembly ends, I will take my loved ones and leave this place. Honestly, this isn’t my home, this isn’t the world I want, because it lacks human warmth."

"Oh." Selena Gould lowered her head, her eyes reddening, not knowing how to respond to Yusuf Zuck’s words.

"Would you... like to come with me? To my hometown?" Yusuf Zuck suddenly took her hand and asked.

"Mm, mm, mm." To Yusuf Zuck’s surprise, Selena Gould didn’t even think before nodding her head frantically with tears of joy.

Yusuf Zuck, moved, gripped her hand tightly and said, "Thank you for accompanying me all this way."

"I want to be with you," Selena Gould whispered. "The days since I left the sky spring star with you have been the happiest of my life. I even suddenly realized that when you fall for someone, the sleep at night is sweet!"

"Stay in my east room tonight. It’s not safe lately; being closer to me, I can protect you better. The Jacobs Tribe of antiquity can assassinate while invisible, so being closer to me is safer," he said.

"No, no, there’s no need. You’ve just reunited with Louise Garrett, I should stay where I was!" Selena Gould waved her hands repeatedly. Yusuf Zuck’s room had a main house and east and west wings. Now that Louise Garrett was staying in the west wing, the east wing was meant for someone extremely close.

She felt she wasn’t deserving of that yet, but, of course, she also felt extremely gleeful inside.

"Listen to me, if I say you should go, you should go," Yusuf Zuck said with a smile.

"Oh." Selena Gould took a deep breath, her heart pounding. She fantasized about whether Yusuf Zuck would come to her room at night and what she should do if he did.

"Hmm?" Just then, Yusuf Zuck’s eyebrows suddenly lifted.

"What’s wrong?" Selena Gould asked in surprise.

"You go chat with Louise Garrett and the others for a while, I need to meditate for a bit!" Yusuf Zuck immediately sat cross-legged and closed his eyes quickly.

Not daring to delay, Selena Gould walked out swiftly and then shut the door tight!

At the same time, Yusuf Zuck’s avatar in the Southern Star Region had reached the cracks in the void, the location of the Blue Sea and Cloud Sky!

However, from a distance, he saw that from another direction, about two dozen streaks of light were swiftly approaching, and they too appeared at the entrance of the Blue Sea and Cloud Sky!

Yusuf Zuck’s mouth curled up; within those two dozen people were Zeph Trujillo and even Tyler Nash!

When Yusuf Zuck saw them, those two dozen people also saw him, and they all turned around, their gazes cold.

"Kill him!" The masked Shadow Demon suddenly ordered coldly.

Demons kill without reason, and they don’t need a reason!
