Chapter 956: Chapter 955: Three Conditions

At this very moment, Yusuf Zuck felt a chill running down his spine. He could easily imagine that once Mia and Paisley Kirk had ascended to the higher planes, if the immense powers there sought them out or wished to control them, it would take no effort at all.

Therefore, what Khloe Miller said was very likely to be true, quite possibly having brought both Paisley Kirk and Mia down from there.

"What do you want?" Though fury surged within him, though he longed to strangle Khloe Miller on the spot, Yusuf Zuck still managed to suppress his rage, calm his breath, and quickly regained his composure.

"Right, that’s more like it for discussing matters. Sit down and try this Immortal Tea." Having observed Yusuf Zuck’s reaction, Khloe Miller became even more fearless.

Although she had delved deeply into his background and knew that he was a man of deep feelings and loyalty, cultivators, as time passes and cultivation levels grow ever stronger, tend to grow detached from kinship and sentiments, with partners serving merely as aids in cultivation.

In this world, the partners of cultivators are nothing but a matter of convenience, and while some may experience love and affection, they are in the minority.

Even those who do hold love and affection, when faced with certain choices, can still abandon or cast aside their former cultivation partners.

After all, partners can be replaced. If one dies today, another can be found tomorrow to cultivate with.

So, when she used Mia and Paisley Kirk as leverage, she had felt a bit uneasy, truly afraid that Yusuf Zuck would suddenly attack her.

But now it seemed that this man cared deeply for his two women, and that gave her a huge bargaining chip, the capital for negotiation.

Yusuf Zuck sat down and, picking up the teacup, downed the tea in one gulp.

"Good, then I’ll make it clear. We have three demands," Khloe Miller said as she raised a finger. "First, we must go to your homeland, the Ruins of the Gods, and only you know the secret passage, so you must tell us!"

"Oh?" Yusuf Zuck raised an eyebrow; that secret passage was no secret among his kin, was it? Maybe Mia was not aware of its exact location, but Paisley Kirk should know. And yet Khloe Miller claimed only he himself was privy to it?

"Heh, indeed only you know." As if guessing what was on Yusuf Zuck’s mind, Khloe Miller smiled lightly. "Whether it’s Paisley Kirk or Lara Tuff, the location of that passage isn’t in their soul memories, it seems to have been erased. You wouldn’t have done such a thing, would you?"

"Is that so?" Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath. He hadn’t done this, but if it wasn’t him, then who could it be?

Abram Trujillo’s grandfather, old Mr. Trujillo? Or perhaps Landyn Torres?

"What do you say to this condition? Do you agree?" Khloe Miller pressed.

"Hold on," Yusuf Zuck raised his hand to stop her. "First I want to know, if I meet your demands, what will I get in return?"

"What will you get?" Khloe Miller was taken aback momentarily, then burst out laughing. "Firstly, you won’t die, and secondly, I can grant you a reunion with them – let you meet the two of them, and even after I take them back to the Element World, I can let them wait there for you. When you ascend, you can then take them away."

"How do I know you’re not lying to me? How do I know you’re not deceiving me? So I want to see them first, otherwise no deal!" Yusuf Zuck declared forcefully with a sweep of his hand.

"No, no, no!" Khloe Miller waved her hands frantically. "We’re aware of your prowess; even I might not stand a chance against you if the restraints were lifted, so it’ll be problematic if you lash out at us while meeting them!"

"Then there’s nothing to discuss. I’ll kill you first!" Yusuf Zuck’s eyes turned cold, and in a fierce move, he pushed his palm toward Khloe Miller.

Never in her wildest dreams had Khloe Miller imagined that this man named Zuck could be so inhumane as to strike without a word. And even before his hand reached her, she saw space itself distorting, an unstoppable, overwhelming force barreling toward her!

"Alright, I’ll let you see them – stop!" Khloe Miller exclaimed in terror, looking at Yusuf Zuck, as she had no confidence in fending off that previous palm.

Yusuf Zuck’s palm paused, and the Star-Pushing Power instantly dissipated.

"Sisters, come out!" Khloe Miller’s voice was cold as she glared at Yusuf Zuck, then her figure suddenly retreated explosively, jumping up into the high skies above Sacred Mountain.

With a "whoosh," the moment she jumped into the sky, a spatial rift suddenly opened behind her, and seven women appeared within it.

Of course, these seven women did not leap out of the rift; they merely looked down from above.

"Paisley!" Yusuf Zuck spotted Paisley Kirk in the rift at a glance. Although all seven women were dazzlingly beautiful, Paisley Kirk was still breathtakingly gorgeous.

However, the moment he saw Paisley, his expression froze abruptly, and he became as still as a petrified chicken.

Because he also saw Mia standing on the edge. Only... only... Mia was actually wearing a set of grey robes, the kind that nuns wear, and her hair was shaven off.

A nun...

Yusuf Zuck’s heart clenched!

"Fuck-you-mother, who is it!" Yusuf Zuck ’swooshed’ as he jumped up, shooting straight for the spatial rift.

However, just as he leaped up, the spatial rift closed, leaving only Khloe Miller standing in mid-air!

Yusuf Zuck forcefully stopped directly opposite Khloe Miller, his fists crackling with tension. This spatial rift was irregular and not stable; they might appear here one second and be gone the next, so it was impossible for him to track them!

"How about it, Mr. Zuck, do we have a deal on our first condition? Besides, we won’t harm any mortals there. Considering it has been three thousand eight hundred years, those mortals probably have nothing to do with you now, right? We just want to enter the Ruins of the Gods!"

"Speak the second one!" Yusuf Zuck narrowed his eyes, suddenly feeling that something was off, something in the split second was not right, Paisley and Mia were not right!

First, neither Mia nor Paisley were bound or anything; they were standing in a row with others!

Second, their eyes did not show the excitement, agitation, or sadness when they saw him.

They were as calm as the others, although they were still themselves, they were yet not themselves!

Severing the mundane world; they had cut off from the mundane world. Although their memories still held him, that was in the past, and their past emotions had been severed.

"Alright." As Yusuf Zuck’s mind raced, Khloe Miller let out a loud "Alright" and continued, "The second, you must open your soul and allow us to conduct a Soul Search once, with no resistance."

"The third, you must hand over the Book of Earth to me. Just these three. If you disagree, then consider the fate of those two!"

"Do you think I would agree? Letting you Soul Search is undoubtedly handing over my life to you. Giving you the Book of Earth would leave me defenseless and equally easy for you to kill, so do you think I would agree?" Yusuf Zuck said coldly.

"You don’t have to agree, we don’t care!" Khloe Miller shrugged nonchalantly.
