"Fine, let the vow stand as it is." Although he didn’t believe Elijah Burch’s vow, since she did formally swear it, Yusuf Zuck thought for a moment and said, "Next, you must help me kill people. Anyone who enters this valley, not one shall be spared. Now it’s your turn to show your loyalty, and I want those three heads!" Yusuf Zuck pointed at the other two women and one man, aside from Ayden Acme!
Elijah Burch’s body shook, seemingly finding it difficult to accept such indiscriminate slaughter of the innocent!
"If they don’t die, I will, so they must die. In my eyes, there is no distinction between good and evil, you can choose not to act." Yusuf Zuck said indifferently.
"Fine, you must keep your word, otherwise don’t blame me if I also go crazy!" Elijah Burch’s voice suddenly turned icy cold, and after she strode to the side of the three unconscious people, she suddenly pulled out a dagger and swiftly slashed three times.
After three slashes, the heads of the three unconscious individuals rolled, the scene gruesomely bloody!
Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath, the truth was that he also did not wish to slaughter the innocent, and he could imagine what his own future held.
This was a wicked act, his hands stained with blood, so his end would not be good!
Of course, no matter what the future held, at least for now he was still alive. He wanted to decrease the risk, wishing for his and his family’s safety, so he could only proceed this way.
Elijah Burch was therefore tied to his chariot—using the Dragon Ball as bait, he made her hands also full of blood, intertwining her fate with his, tying them together.
Elijah Burch had been the leader of the Dragon Group for many years after all, with another name, Chad Lopez, so how could she not be ruthless? And in the end, she was also a demon, so when it came to killing, she did not show any mercy, executing with ruthless efficiency.
Even after the killings, she picked up the three heads and placed them in front of Yusuf Zuck, alongside the other heads.
By this point, there were already seven heads.
Yusuf Zuck had killed five in the capital, earlier having killed Aurelia Murray, Luca Zuck, and Camilo Arellano, so adding these seven, that totaled to fifteen.
"Did you not say you killed several in the capital before? How many in total?" Yusuf Zuck thought and asked.
"Five." Elijah Burch responded coldly: "All beasts, I personally took care of them!"
"That makes it twenty, which means there are seventy-eight more people outside, and next, we will also have to kill seventy-eight more people."
"Do you really plan to kill them all?" Elijah Burch asked, puzzled.
"Not one shall be spared, whether we leave them in the mortal world, or let them return to the Dragon Gate World, they are disasters. So, apart from this one called Ayden Acme, I do not intend to let anyone go!"
"You are too cruel, this is a massacre!" Elijah Burch took a deep breath and said.
"Yes, it is a massacre!" Yusuf Zuck nodded: "And a necessary one."
Elijah Burch said no more and sat down.
Yusuf Zuck thought for a moment and said, "Someone will deliver explosives later, you go and receive them, and then, help me blow up the Dragon Gate Passage." Find the newest release on novel✦fire.net
"Not now, we must wait until the other side opens the Passage. Otherwise, even if we collapse the mountain, they will still open the Passage. Only by throwing the explosives inside the Passage, disrupting the Formation inside, or shattering the Passage’s space-time, will the people inside be unable to come over!"
"Alright then, I’ll leave that to you. Do it well, and once we return to the capital, I’ll give you the Dragon Ball. When I promise something, I see it through, and besides, that thing is of no use to me."
"For the Dragon Ball, I will." Elijah Burch nodded.
"Another question, do you have any of your kind? Are there any other Demon Cultivators in this mortal world? Or, are there any male fox spirits?"
"Please do not insult me. Even if I am indebted to you, I would ask you to show some respect!" Elijah Burch felt like she was about to spit blood, yet she couldn’t do anything to Yusuf Zuck.
"Your kind, whether there are other Demon Cultivators, you can answer that, right?" Yusuf Zuck chuckled and said.
"There are." Elijah Burch said coldly.
"There really are some? Where are they all? What kind of demon cultivators?" Yusuf Zuck exclaimed in surprise.
"Do you think I would tell you?" Elijah Burch looked at Yusuf Zuck and said.
"I think you would, I remember in your vow just now, you called me your benefactor, so I believe we should be honest with each other. You can ask me questions too, just like before, we can take turns with a question and answer."
"If we can’t even be honest with each other, then I seriously doubt the sincerity and truthfulness of your vow!"
"What else do you want to know, you maniac!" Elijah Burch cursed in anger.
"Whether there are more demon cultivators, what kind they are, where they are, and what cultivation levels they possess!" Yusuf Zuck immediately pressed on with his questions, almost driving Elijah Burch to the brink of collapse, which was precisely the effect he wanted.
"There’s one in Qilian Mountain, whose original form is a snake transforming into a dragon, one in Changbai Mountain, who is a Forest Python, and one in India, originally a cat. I don’t know about the others."
"There really are more?" Yusuf Zuck exclaimed in surprise once again.
"There’s a lot you don’t know," Elijah Burch said irritably.
"So if there are still demons, what if they come out and cause trouble?" Yusuf Zuck asked worriedly.
"Actually, the most powerful demon is mankind itself," Elijah Burch huffed, "We demon cultivators practice solely to become like primates. Human beings are the supreme primates, the rulers of all creatures. We just want to become human, for humans are truly the masters of this world, the spirit of all things!"
"So what you’re saying is there are still powerful beings in the secular world? Beings that you fear?" Yusuf Zuck asked, astonished.
"Mr. Huang is one of them, and there might be more behind him. So don’t you think you’re invincible. If you’re undefeated now, it’s just because some people don’t want to step forward to stop you!"
"Then what is your realm? Can you beat Mr. Huang?" Yusuf Zuck asked curiously.
"I’m also at Big Fetus Breath, but I can’t defeat Mr. Huang," Elijah Burch shook her head and said.
"Is that old man that formidable?" Yusuf Zuck said with disbelief written all over his face.
"Like I said, humans are the supreme primates, the bearers of wisdom. You have the techniques of cultivation, complex thoughts, while we demon cultivators do not. Even if we transform into humans, we still don’t know how to continue our cultivation. To evolve further, we still rely on humans!"
"Seems to make some sense. So how did you cultivate into a human?"
"By mistakenly eating a spiritual object, opening up wisdom, and receiving pointers from a great master, transforming from demon to human!"
"What spiritual object did you mistakenly eat?"
"You’re asking too many questions."
"Well, you can ask me. I have several girlfriends, many brothers, quite a bit of money. Just ask whatever you want, and I’ll tell you everything I know, guaranteed."
"I’m not interested in knowing," Elijah Burch said speechlessly, her interest lying in nothing but the Dragon Ball.
"What spiritual object did you mistakenly eat?" Yusuf Zuck repeated his earlier question.
"A Lingzhi mushroom that was over a million years old, what you call ’taisui.’ Taisui, this substance, is the most ancient form of life, the origin of both plant and animal life. If it were to continue evolving, it might become a plant or an animal, so it is the source of life."
"I see, so the elixir of immortality that Emperor Qin Shi Huang sent people looking for is this taisui. But if I were to find a Lingzhi mushroom that’s over a million years old and consume it, would I then live forever?" Yusuf Zuck’s eyes lit up as he said.
