In the city, two firelights shot up into the sky. One was the Fla Gate Lord, Raul Graves, and the other was the scholar, Ayden Ac.
Raul Graves was quite the gentleman; he waited until Ayden Ac finished crossing the tribulation before engaging him in battle.
Having successfully crossed the tribulation, Ayden Ac’s strength had clearly skyrocketed. Behind his head appeared over a dozen halos, resembling the Buddha’s light of Great Solar Radiance. However, Yusuf Zuck knew that this was Ayden Ac’s Light of Great Ease.
Everyone in the Simon Mansion stood up, gazing at the fierce battle between the two.
"Whoa~" After Ayden Ac ascended to a certain height, he suddenly unleashed a palm strike. As the palm struck out, shadows of it filled the sky, seemingly advancing layer by layer. Everyone felt a blur in front of their eyes, and then the palm shadow was already imprinted on Raul Graves.
Raul Graves, at the Half-Step Creation level, had no ability to retaliate and was sent flying by this palm strike, disappearing like a kite with a broken string!
"How... is this possible?" Everyone in the Simon courtyard gasped in shock at the sight. Raul Graves was Half-Step Creation level, just like them, yet now, even Half-Step Creation seed like trash in front of Ayden Ac. Just what kind of monster is Ayden Ac?
"Boom~" Raul Graves hadn’t completely lost his fighting spirit. As everyone was unsettled, he suddenly erged from the ruins. His entire body was shrouded in rolling black mist. When he swung out one palm, it transford into a black wind blade, clashing with Ayden Ac’s palm!
"Boom~" This ti, Ayden Ac was also knocked back, and the two rolled in the sky.
"That black mist, such a powerful dark aura, it’s demonic aura, heavenly demon aura!" Porter Ray suddenly scread, "How can Raul Graves have heavenly demon aura?"
"He is a heavenly demon!"
"What? He’s a heavenly demon?"
"Go, quickly." As soon as it was known that Raul Graves was a heavenly demon, everyone simultaneously sprang up, Soren Simon leading the way by deactivating the barrier defense of the courtyard, furiously charging in the direction of the battle!
The demonic aura Raul Graves released was indeed heavenly demon aura. Although this aura differed from that of the real Heavenly Demon Clan, at this mont, he exuded the breath of a heavenly demon. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he beca extrely eerie and terrifying.
Perhaps seeing Soren Simon and the others rushing in, he did not continue exchanging blows with Ayden Ac. Instead, he stomped on the ground, transford into a mist of black matter, and vanished without a trace!
"What a clever Raul Graves!" Yusuf Zuck couldn’t help but praise silently. Raul Graves had definitely exposed his heavenly demon aura on purpose. The scene of him sending his wife away earlier was still vivid in mory. He hadn’t truly succumbed to the demonic path; he still retained his own sanity. Or perhaps, he wasn’t willing to be dominated by the Heavenly Demon Clan.
Exposing himself at this mont allowed him to leave this troubleso circle smoothly. Since he was exposed, staying would result in death and the failure of the Shura Gate’s grand plan, so leaving was the best choice, and no one would bla him!
"Whoosh~" Yusuf Zuck leapt ahead, flying to Ayden Ac’s side, and asked with concern, "Ayden, are you okay?" Ostensibly, they were still friends!
"You’re back?" Ayden Ac’s eyes brightened, then he smiled and said, "How about now? I’ve reached the Eternal Life Ninth Layer and practiced the Great Freedom Divine Skills, did you see just now? Even that Half-Step Creation Raul Graves couldn’t withstand the Great Ease Divine Palm!"
"You’re okay? Mm, not bad, not bad at all. Originally, you could break through to the Eternal Life Ninth Layer upon breakthrough. Impressive!" Yusuf Zuck feigned a look of admiration, giving a thumb up.
"It’s a pity Raul Graves escaped; he has beco demonic, with heavenly demon aura inside him!" Ayden Ac said fiercely. "Heavenly demon aura is the unique mark of the Heavenly Demon Clan. It seems they truly are everywhere."
"Ayden, are you sure Raul Graves was using heavenly demon aura?" Soren Simon asked in a cold tone.
"No mistake. I’ve read relevant books. Besides heavenly demon blood, the Heavenly Demon Clan’s defining trait is heavenly demon aura. Their practiced Gang Qi is all heavenly demon aura, extrely sharp and powerful. There’s no mistake."
"Damn, order the whole city to search for Raul Graves, issue a pursuit order, we must find his whereabouts. Also, control the Fla Gate branch, don’t let anyone escape!" Soren Simon righteously declared, showing apparent contempt for the Heavenly Demon Clan!
"Everyone, Raul Graves being from the Heavenly Demon Clan was beyond expectation, and their reappearance forebodes great disaster for our realm. Let us return to the mansion to discuss our next steps. When all the heroes gather for my wedding, we shall take this chance to formulate a plan," Soren Simon announced loudly.
"Indeed, during Porter Ray’s wedding, when everyone is gathered, it’s a good opportunity for a thorough discussion. Let’s go!" Porter Ray nodded, agreeing that Soren’s suggestion was wise and that uniting the heroes was now imperative to deal with the impending heavenly demon invasions!
He needed to return to the Simon Mansion, as he was the First Family’s leader and must be present. Besides, the Simon Family’s banquet hadn’t officially begun!
However, just as all were preparing to return to the Simon Mansion, Yusuf Zuck suddenly said, "Father-in-law, with a few days until Simon’s wedding, I’ve stumbled upon sothing in my cultivation just yesterday and have been waiting for your guidance. Now that you’re here, shall we head back to my mansion first?"
"This..." Porter Ray was no ordinary man. He instantly knew Yusuf was hinting at sothing deeper, wanting to take him away, preventing him from going to the Simon Family. So he nodded, pretending to be annoyed, "Are you about to succumb to demonic possession?"
"Yes, almost. If it weren’t for the Duke’s help, I might’ve gone into demonic possession a few days ago. I’ve been waiting for you, can’t delay any longer!"
"Then let’s first head to your mansion!" Porter Ray nodded, then apologetically addressed Soren Simon, Donovan Blackwell, Martial Saint, and others: "This son-in-law faced mishaps during training. I’ll head there first. Discuss the heavenly demon issue anwhile. We shall finalize our counterasure at Simon’s wedding. Farewell!" The elder didn’t bother with pleasantries either. Given his status, he didn’t need to consider anyone’s feelings. He did as he pleased, so no sooner had he finished speaking than he left with Yusuf Zuck.
Soren Simon laughed heartily, seemingly not annoyed, and said with fists cupped to everyone else, "Folks, Porter Ray takes care of his son-in-law, truly a good father-in-law! Let’s go back for drinks!"
"Haha!" Everyone laughed, following Soren Simon back to the Simon Mansion!
With the entire Ray Clan, Yusuf Zuck entered the Garrett Mansion, where Ayden Ac also returned. He was the sa as ever, seemingly unchanged, except his cultivation level reached the Eternal Life Ninth Layer, although everyone knew it was fake. His true strength far exceeded the Eternal Life Ninth Layer.
"Father-in-law, let introduce you!" Once back at the mansion, Yusuf Zuck imdiately pulled Demi Garrett over and said, "This is my sworn brother, Demi Garrett!"
Porter Ray raised an eyebrow sharply, "Demi Garrett? The Lord of Beyond?!~"
"Hm?" Both Yusuf Zuck and Demi Garrett were taken aback. How did Porter Ray know Demi Garrett?
