"You’re planning to go to the Quanzhen Sect’s base?" Ayden Ac raised an eyebrow sharply, then shook his head strangely, "I advise you to abandon that idea."
"I can kill Derrick Newman once, I can kill him a second ti. Do you think I can’t handle that damned Quanzhen Sect?" Yusuf Zuck sneered.
"You might be able to kill Derrick Newman again, but you’d definitely die too."
"The Quanzhen Sect isn’t Derrick Newman’s. He’s just the leader. Although his cultivation level is the strongest, the other dozen or so aren’t much weaker, and their magic treasures and divine skills are all inherited from powerful figures of the Ancient Era. I can say without reservation, their magic treasures or wealth surpass those of the Ten Great Clans."
"Also, they have divine pets, formations, and the Talisman Way. If you really entered their lair, could you retreat unscathed?"
"I can," Yusuf Zuck laughed.
"Uh... okay, I forgot you have the Door of the Other Shore, but even if you go in, you likely won’t gain any advantage, so trust , you should first increase your power."
"Hmm, let’s talk after rescuing my sister," Yusuf Zuck nodded, knowing the Quanzhen Sect was a mysterious entity, and rushing in would be unwise. Though he’s reached Eternal Perfection, and even with creation-level demonic creatures, if the Quanzhen Sect can’t beat him, could they stop him from escaping?
Also, he didn’t know the details of the other mbers of the Quanzhen Sect. He’s unaware of what inheritance they have, and if there’s soone who can counter his divine skills, it would be bad. Only by understanding the opponent can one remain undefeated in countless battles.
"Right, this ti heading to Seven Star Island, move secretly and don’t get exposed. The goal is rescue, and once achieved, we can discuss other matters. Don’t let them discover us before rescuing anyone; that would be even more passive."
"Hmm," Yusuf Zuck nodded.
Ayden Ac took a deep breath, "I have a bad feeling."
"What kind of bad feeling?"
"Can’t say exactly," Ayden Ac shook his head, "There’s soone formidable among the opponents, calculating against you."
"Yeah, there’s soone who understands well in their camp," Yusuf Zuck nodded.
The two continued their conversation while approaching Seven Star Island, and when they were at a distance of several million miles, Ayden Ac entered the Blue Sea and Cloud Sky, while Yusuf Zuck transford into Parasitic Light and moved toward Seven Star Island.
From a distance of several hundred miles, Yusuf Zuck saw seven floating islands in the starry sky. These islands seed connected by mountains and rivers, and small stars arranged in a structured manner surrounded the islands, protecting Seven Star Island.
And those small stars emitted faint halos, forming a barrier defense, enveloping Seven Star Island in a glow.
Yusuf Zuck continued to approach, as he was too far to see clearly.
But when he was roughly a dozen miles from Seven Star Island, he suddenly saw a Lightning Pillar right in front of Seven Star Island. Bound to the pillar was a naked person, smoking was rising from the person as they were scorched by lightning.
Yet the person wasn’t dead, but constantly scread in agony, covered in blood, their long hair scattered, their face extrely fierce.
Yusuf Zuck imdiately recognized that person—it was Raul Graves, bound to the lightning pillar, enduring the punishnt of the lightning, in unbearable pain.
Yusuf Zuck’s heart sank to the bottom. Raul Graves being shown tied to the lightning pillar outside the island indicated what? It ant Raul Graves had been exposed. The Right Saint and others were using this thod of punishnt to demonstrate might to him.
And the Right Saint and others surely knew he was coming, just didn’t know exactly when.
They were already prepared.
Ayden Ac, inside the Blue Sea and Cloud Sky, could see the outside situation because Yusuf Zuck opened a skylight for him to help analyze the situation.
"Your secret stake turned out to be Raul Graves?" Ayden Ac squinted. He and Raul Graves were at odds; they’d even fought, and Raul Graves had snatched away his woman.
Though his woman had long been indifferent to him and was already soone else’s wife, they were childhood friends, and his clan was exterminated possibly due to Raul Graves, making Raul Graves his enemy.
But now, this enemy was Yusuf Zuck’s secret stake.
Yusuf Zuck also knew that asking Ayden Ac to save Raul Graves was asking too much. If he indeed asked Ayden Ac, their friendship might end.
So after thinking, he said, "Ayden, I’m sorry, I don’t need you to save him. I can even arrange a duel between you two later. Right now, I only need you to help rescue my sister and them."
"Of course, Raul Graves has a kind heart, and you know about... his feelings for Crystal Locke, which is why Crystal Locke follows him so loyally."
"No need to say more. He’s him, you’re you. He’s good to Crystal, I admit, I might not achieve his level, but my clan was wiped out overnight, the perpetrator unseen, I’ve searched for years, unable to find clues, only knowing he was involved, he knows the perpetrator, he’s connected, so there’s no possibility of reconciliation between us."
"Of course, if he voluntarily speaks of the past, tells who caused the vendetta, and whether he was specifically involved. If involved, then death; if not, I can allow him and Crystal together. After all, I also want to see Crystal happy."
"Fine, I’ll ask him then, and ensure you receive a definitive answer," Yusuf Zuck promised.
"Then first ensure he doesn’t die. The Right Saint and others are torturing him to make him suffer, yet not letting him die. After you appear, he will certainly die."
"Of course, if he dies, the specific enemy of my clan’s vendetta remains unknown. So please save him first; I won’t kill him now. If needed, I’ll wait for his wounds to heal—I won’t take advantage of him in his peril."
"Alright, that’s truly manly behavior, Ayden. I used to have doubts about you because I couldn’t decipher you, worried you approached with so secret agenda. But since we’ve been acquainted, you’ve helped constantly, so I’ll rid myself of those doubts and hope we can be true brothers."
"Haha, suspicion must exist. I do have many secrets, but I won’t harm you. The reason I’ve been helping you and follow you is that I know you’ll excel in the future, you have great fortune, and being with you can lend so luck too."
"That’s all?" Yusuf Zuck laughed.
"Well, there’s a bit more, but I won’t tell you. What will you do to then?" Ayden Ac grinned mischievously.
"Alright, I’m planning to enter Seven Star Island now but leave an avatar outside. Once I find my sister and them, I’ll simultaneously rescue them. This double-line attack ensures Raul Graves won’t die and prevents the Right Saint from using my sister as leverage."
"I’ll stay outside; you should hide the avatar. The fewer people who know about your avatar, the better. Don’t worry, I’m not petty. I’ll save him as promised, not exploiting him in his plight." Ayden Ac suddenly sighed.
