Chapter 1922: Chapter 1941: On the Brink of Conflict
When Diego Jacobs and his people reached the top of Jing Mountain, not only Yusuf Zuck and his entourage were aware, but various scouts quickly relayed the news. The most accurate report ca from the spies on Jing Mountain, stating there were nine people setting up Formation traps!
This information was passed on by the male companion of Deadman Demon. Those nine companions, though gained status, loved the bloodied life at the blade’s edge, thus they volunteered to go to the most dangerous place!
Upon learning about Diego Jacobs and his group’s arrival, Yusuf Zuck imdiately sent orders to the Deadman Demon, urging her not to act rashly or attack proactively, but to stick to the plan!
Luckily, he issued the order in ti, because the Deadman Demon really was about to make a fierce attack. Thus, when the order reached her, she was boiling mad.
Nevertheless, for the sake of Yusuf Zuck’s grand plan, she endured.
At the sa ti, in front of the tent, several trusted ministers approached Yusuf Zuck, whispering softly, especially Parker Berger, who was simultaneously talking and calculating.
“Your Majesty, the opponent arrived early and did not conceal their actions, so they must have a trump card. Now that they’ve set up restrictions on the mountain top, we have no idea what they’re doing, while we’re fully exposed under their eyes, which is disadvantageous for us!”
“There is nothing disadvantageous, when soldiers co, generals resist; when water cos, earth damps. Have you never heard that one force can overco ten tactics? Even if you have a thousand stratagems and ten thousand Divine Skills, I can destroy it with just my force!”
“Hmm?” Just as Yusuf Zuck spoke boldly, Parker Berger suddenly stopped his calculations and gasped!
“What happened?” Yusuf Zuck asked curiously.
“Sire, I supplented three hexagrams in succession, and all are auspicious!” Parker Berger exclaid in shock.
“Ha ha!” Yusuf Zuck burst into laughter: “I told you all to rest easy, let us go, to the altar. Before I kill, I need to posture a bit!”
“Uh…” Many were a bit perplexed, truth be told, many of Yusuf Zuck’s occasional remarks were inscrutable; what is posturing?
But although the ministers did not understand, none dared to ask normally, and today, when Locke Autumn noticed Yusuf Zuck seed particularly pleased, he asked with a flattering smile: “My king, what is posturing? You’ve ntioned it several tis, and we’re all unclear, could you explain it to us ministers?”
“Explain posturing?” Yusuf Zuck was taken aback by Locke Autumn’s question. How does one explain posturing?
“Yes, tell us!” Locke Autumn pressed on.
“Ahem~” Yusuf Zuck cleared his throat, walking forward as he said: “Simply put, it’s playing the pig to eat the tiger. And what is a pig? It’s a lowly animal in the dwelling of mortals, only a fool ant for slaughter and eating!”
“I know of that creature, but I heard that in another universe, that creature is wise, even forming a race, called the House tribe!”
“Right, it’s called all sorts of things. So, I appear weak, while my enemy is the fierce tiger, but what the tiger does not expect is that this weak and fatty at can swallow them whole!”
“Mm, that’s roughly it!”
As they chatted, they reached the altar, where the Ritual Officer ca to greet them!
“Report to the king, three quarters to noon!” The Ritual Officer was also the tikeeper.
“Good, continue preparations. But first, bring up a hundred people, ready to start the execution!”
“Yes.” A group of soldiers imdiately escorted a hundred people onto the altar, lining them up to kneel, while the bare-chested executioners stood in position!
Yusuf Zuck then once again faced Jing Mountain, a slight smile at his lips, and said loudly: “Diego Jacobs, can you see now?”
“Woosh~” On the top of Jing Mountain, Diego Jacobs suddenly stepped forward, and Luo Shen imdiately aid the Divine Crossbow at Yusuf Zuck, ready to fire at any mont!
Diego Jacobs’s face was ashen; today he ca to save people, rescuing lives was primary, killing Gabriel Freeman was secondary.
He knew he needed to stall for ti, allowing Luo Shen to adjust the Divine Crossbow and fully charge with yin and yang power!
“Listen up Gabriel Freeman, be wise and release the Jacobs clan mbers, or we’ll destroy your Longevity Empire!” His voice was not loud, yet it pierced through the clouds, directly reaching the altar south of the Wei River, where everyone around could hear it clearly!
“Haha, if you kneel and beg now, address as Majesty or King, maybe I’ll spare your clan. But if you insist on opposing , don’t bla !”
“Gabriel Freeman, what skill is there in killing won, scholars, the young, and old?”
“It’s not about skill, I am offering sacrifices to heaven, offering to the river god!” Yusuf Zuck said with a grin.
“Gabriel Freeman, if you dare touch a hair on my clan mbers, I assure you will bloodshed with your soldiers!” At this point, Diego Jacobs was anxious, speaking while constantly checking on Luo Shen, hoping Gabriel Freeman would die now!
“Almost there, yin power is about to be filled, stall him for another ten breaths!” Luo Shen warned.
Diego Jacobs took a deep breath, gritting his teeth as he continued: “Gabriel Freeman, aren’t you afraid of being ridiculed by the world? Have the courage to duel one-on-one!”
“Du…your sister? Do you have a sister? Right, where is the Ritual Officer, does he have a sister?” Yusuf Zuck called out loudly.
“Yes, yes, he has seven sisters all together!” The Ritual Officer responded imdiately!
“Wow Diego Jacobs, you actually have seven fine sisters, do you believe I’ll strip them naked and parade them in public?”
“You dare!” Diego Jacobs was trembling with anger!
“n, strip his seven fine sisters and hang them on the flagpole, let him see them!” Yusuf Zuck commanded loudly.
“Sire, is that wise? This is too shaless!” Parker Berger advised.
“It is a bit shaless, so move slowly, just stalling for ti until noon!” Yusuf Zuck was also stalling; waiting for noon to kill!
“Understood!” Parker Berger wiped his sweat; assuming they’d actually strip the won and hang them, the Longevity Empire would beco a rogue empire!
But fortunately, his Gabriel Freeman wasn’t muddled, rely scaring Diego Jacobs!
However, at this mont, several energy waves surged through the sky, then high in the air, many revealed their true form!
Indeed, so experts arrived, standing on the clouds observing from above!
These people actually ca to watch the excitent, most of them being of the Immortal realm!
And with these arrivals, Diego Jacobs and his entourage on the mountaintop showed joy, as the more people present, the more Gabriel Freeman would hesitate to act brutally, potentially igniting the indignation of those people, giving them more allies!
As Diego Jacobs considered this, he loudly declared once again: “Gabriel Freeman, do you intend to oppose the world? To annihilate all sects? To truly occupy Transient City?”
This bastard laid a trap for Yusuf Zuck publicly. If Zuck replied no, he would be seen as cowardly, but if he said yes, those watching would unite against him!
However, upon hearing Diego Jacobs, Yusuf Zuck chuckled: “No need to provoke , I won’t fall for your trap.” Then, raising his head, he declared loudly: “Of course, I must also say, today concerns only my Longevity Empire, the Jacobs Clan, and the Immortal Alliance, so whoever dares interfere, don’t bla for slaughtering!”
“Hmph!” Several snorts of disdain echoed from the sky!
