Yusuf Zuck stayed for three days at Four Flat Mountains, because he wanted to give Raul Graves and Crystal Locke ti to reunite, so three days later he left Four Flat Mountains with Crystal Locke, and Raul Graves also left, his whereabouts unknown.
Of course, from now on, Crystal Locke would be the secret contact person. All intelligence from Raul Graves would be passed on to Crystal Locke, and then relayed to Yusuf Zuck, because besides his own wife, Raul Graves didn’t trust anyone.
After all, when it cos to matters of life and death, one can’t be too careful.
Moreover, regarding Raul Graves becoming a Heavenly Demon undercover agent, Yusuf Zuck didn’t want to tell others. Besides informing Porter Ray, no third person was allowed to know, because the fewer people who know, the more responsible it is for Raul Graves.
And after returning to Notch City through the Door of the Other Shore, Yusuf Zuck officially took on the position of intelligence team leader. Porter Ray had already had secret discussions with the other Eight Great Families and so renowned experts, and smart disciples from various clans and forces would gradually co to Notch City.
Of course, the first thing they had to do upon arriving in Notch City was an inspection. To join the intelligence team, they had to undergo exposure to the Solar Divine Bird.
Additionally, a pursuit team was also ford, with Porter Ray as the leader, and Crystal Locke and Dominic Ruiz temporarily serving as vice leaders. Yusuf Zuck was in charge of the intelligence team, so he did not participate in the pursuit team’s matters.
As for how the intelligence team gathered and broke down information, and how to accurately understand news about the Heavenly Demon Clan amidst the chaotic situation, that was indeed a highly specialized task.
Yusuf Zuck then invited Ayden Ac into the intelligence team to play the role of Think Tank.
"I believe that mobilizing the power of the people is the ultimate principle. It is now the ti for a national war, so by mobilizing those ordinary people, letting them beco our eyes and ears, the Heavenly Demon Clan will have nowhere to hide."
"For instance, we could bribe all innkeepers in a city, and these innkeepers co into contact with strangers every day. They have a sharp eye, and although whether soone is good or bad isn’t written on their face, based on their experience they can guess a thing or two."
"And what we need to do is analyze and dissect the reports they provide, layer by layer, eventually reaching a conclusion."
"Of course, what I just ntioned is only one thod. Another is offering rewards; under the lure of heavy rewards, there will be brave n stepping forward. We need to publish a lot of advertisents, post notices in all cities and villages, asking them to pay attention to those around them, to suspicious people. As long as they report, if they are indeed Heavenly Demons, we’ll give them substantial rewards, and even, when appropriate, concoct so fake news. For example, claim soone provided valuable clues and was then rewarded with a mountain of gold and silver, helping them level up several tis, etc. Once this news gets out, those with idle ti will actively seek out Heavenly Demons and actively find clues."
"There are many ways and thods. As long as we use our brains, there’s no problem we can’t solve."
Yusuf Zuck was discussing this with Ayden Ac because the team had just been ford and not many people had arrived yet, so he was instructing Ayden Ac on what to do.
Although the intelligence team was under his charge, he still wanted to train Ayden Ac to help reduce his workload, and when necessary, he could have Ayden Ac manage everything.
This Ayden Ac, despite being mysterious and perhaps untrustworthy, was certainly not part of the Heavenly Demon Clan. Yusuf Zuck was very sure of this, so as long as he was captive, he could be used like a workhorse.
After all, such characters are rare, so he shouldn’t waste the opportunity to put them to work.
"I think what you said before was very correct. If we can place one or two undercover agents within the enemy, they’re much more effective than the power of the masses."
"That’s sothing I’m currently developing. Your primary task now is to help get the intelligence team up and running, let them broaden their minds and ideas."
"Alright, I’ll take on this task, haha," Ayden Ac said with a faint smile.
"Then I should be going now," Yusuf Zuck said, smiling wistfully.
"Where are you going?" Ayden Ac asked, bewildered.
"My true body is still unconscious; I have to find a way to wake up," Yusuf Zuck replied before diving into the Blue Sea and Cloud Sky.
His true body was indeed still unconscious. After Soren Simon’s last strike, he didn’t know why, but he remained unable to wake up.
Of course, Yusuf Zuck had already figured out the reason: during Soren Simon’s final strike, a stream of air rushed into his soul power. That stream of air wasn’t Heavenly Demon energy, and he didn’t know what it was, but it never dissipated and kept roaming within his soul, and he couldn’t expel it.
He had actually been trying to find a way these days, but after trying many thods, he couldn’t draw or expel that stream of air.
"Old National, still no way?" Over the past few days, Old Master National had been in Blue Sea and Cloud Sky, together with Yusuf Zuck’s true body, also researching counterasures.
"There is one way, but it’s very dangerous," Old Master National said, looking at Yusuf Zuck’s avatar.
"Tell ."
"Craniotomy." Old Master National took a deep breath and said, "I’ll use a sharp instrunt to split your skull in two. By then, perhaps that airflow will automatically disappear."
"Damn it, you’re a quack! That’ll kill ," Yusuf Zuck nearly jumped up to kick this so-called Divine Doctor.
"If the operation is properly done, you won’t die," Old Master National seed about sixty to seventy percent confident.
"Let’s forget it," Yusuf Zuck shook his head. His mind housed the Purple Blood Beads, and who knows what might happen if his skull were opened.
"Master, if you don’t treat it soon, it’ll be too late. Your true body has no consciousness, or rather, your consciousness and thinking are tightly compressed, confined by that airflow. Over ti, your soul might automatically dissipate. Leaving that airflow in your soul is a disaster."
"I know that too. I’ll think of other ways," Yusuf Zuck sighed, looking at his lying true body. Squinting his eyes, he said, "Even my Purple Blood Beads are confined by the airflow. What kind of power is this?"
"If I’m not mistaken, that airflow is probably the Power of Creation, a trace of the true Power of Creation from the Creation Realm," Old Master National said solemnly.
"Power of Creation?"
"Yes, it should be the Power of Creation. Soren Simon must have received an infusion of power from a Creator Realm powerhouse of the Heavenly Demon Clan, with a trace of creation power within him. And in his dying mont, he spitefully struck this trace of Power of Creation into you. Your realm is too low to absorb and control this force, and we can’t extract this force either, causing your soul to close off and defensively protect itself from interference."
"So I suggest that if possible, invite Dominic Ruiz’s father to co over; he might be able to resolve it."
"Dominic’s father is in the Creation Realm; if he cos over, he might really be able to help." Yusuf Zuck nodded, "But inviting him over would incur a significant favor, and what if he doesn’t co?"
"So, better to co up with another solution first. Hmm, you go outside and help find so purple treasures, as long as they’re purple, anything will do."
"Purple?" Old Master National was confused, not understanding what this master of convenience was planning to do.
"Yes, purple diamonds, gemstones, pearls, crystals, herbs, weapons, Magic Treasures—anything purple. Help collect them all."
"Yes." Old Master National didn’t question Yusuf Zuck further, responding with a nod and leaving.
And the reason Yusuf Zuck wanted purple treasures was to find sothing that could greatly nourish the Purple Blood Beads. As long as he found sothing greatly nourishing, and simply held it in his hand, the Purple Blood Beads would automatically activate, break through that airflow automatically. He felt this thod was feasible and worth a try.
