Chapter 1871: Chapter 1890: On the Brink “To silently and effortlessly murder my hundred assassins, I fear only the Changsheng King could have done this,” Diego Jacobs gritted his teeth and said, “Gabriel Freeman, I want to tear you limb from limb.” “Brother Jacobs speaks correctly. With such invisibility skills, the Changsheng King can come and go freely in the mountains and forests. Moreover, he has the strength to kill a prime Dao Master, so there’s no second person other than him.” “The key is how to find him,” Diego Jacobs angrily said, “With him here, it’s very disadvantageous to us.” Gracie Sweeney raised her eyebrows, thought for a moment, and said, “Brother Jacobs, have you thought about why the Changsheng King would come personally?” “Oh?” Diego Jacobs was stunned for a moment and said, “He came here simply to personally investigate the deployment of my forces and to kill my assassins, probably just in passing!” “Exactly, the Changsheng King is indeed very powerful, but his ultimate goal is to lead everyone smoothly through Cloud Valley. So he came here just to investigate our ambush at Cloud Valley.” “I understand.” Diego Jacobs suddenly stood up and said, “If he came personally, he would definitely discover my thirty million Sacrificial Array; therefore, he will definitely try to destroy it. This isn’t good, we need to go to the Sun-Moon Lake immediately to prevent any unpredictable changes.” Saying that, Diego Jacobs leaped away from the spot, followed closely by Guillermo the Immortal Brush, which transformed into Escaping Light. Gracie Sweeney immediately followed. At the Sun-Moon Lake, at this moment, it was already a critical time. From all directions, the Blood Energy of thirty million soldiers continued to gather continuously towards the flags of the array in the lake. Around those flags, not only were there nine Formation Masters, but also three strangely dressed individuals on the side. These three people were the three protectors of the Cloud River Area. All three were top-notch prime Dao Masters who had followed Diego Jacobs in roaming the world in their early years. Now, in the Cloud River Area, they held a position of absolute power. “Whew~” As soon as Diego Jacobs arrived and saw that the array flag in the lake was still there, along with the nine Formation Masters and the three protectors, he immediately sighed in relief. Fortunately, the array flag was still intact. “Big brother.” The three quirky individuals by the lake immediately flew over, and one of them asked, puzzled, “Why is big brother rushing over, what’s happened?” “The Changsheng King is likely invisible nearby.” “What?” Hearing Diego Jacobs’s words, the three were also shocked and immediately began to search everywhere. “But there’s nothing to worry about. With me here, I actually hope he shows himself,” Diego Jacobs coldly chuckled and then suddenly shouted, “Nine Formation Masters, please seal the Sun-Moon Lake. From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave. You nine also must not come out until the Changsheng forces are slain.” “Yes.” The nine Formation Masters responded in unison and then suddenly sprayed out Essence Blood successively, which gathered together and formed a nine-layer blood-colored barrier that enveloped the entire Sun-Moon Lake. This barrier was a seal, and no one could enter it. Even if someone tried to force their way in, the barrier would immediately sense it, so being invisible was pointless. Seeing the nine-layer barrier encasing the Sun-Moon Lake, Diego Jacobs breathed another sigh of relief. Now, it was finally safe, and he also didn’t plan to leave. He simply waited for the array to activate, ultimately slaughtering all the soldiers of the Gabriel Freeman Division. “By the way, how is Maltida Torres?” At this moment, Diego Jacobs remembered Maltida Torres, the only one from the assassins who survived. “Number Seven is gravely injured, just took the elixir we gave, and is resting in the tent,” one of the protectors replied. “Brother Pen, go heal Number Seven and bring her out; I have something to ask her.” The Immortal Brush seemed to nod slightly and then turned into brilliance, drilling into the tent. Meanwhile, in the tent, the shapeshifting demon impersonating Maltida Torres was covered in blood, weak in breath, and pale-faced, seemingly asleep. However, when the Immortal Brush essence entered the tent, she suddenly opened her eyes with a look of surprise. “You’re severely injured, don’t move,” The Immortal Brush didn’t turn into an old white-bearded man, but it could still speak human words, so its voice sounded odd. The shapeshifting demon indeed remained silent and still. At this moment, the Immortal Brush essence then suddenly moved and wrote two characters on the shapeshifting demon, which were ‘Blood Energy.’ As soon as these characters appeared, her pale face and internal injuries instantly healed. Yes, it was healed in a split second, restored to how it was before. “Hahaha, Maltida Torres, the master calls you for questioning, follow me,” The Immortal Brush burst out laughing and flew out first. The shapeshifting demon also jumped down, with gleaming brilliance continuously flashing in her eyes, while internally exclaiming, “A living brush, a living brush, with an aura of immortality, oh my, this treasure is mine. I’ll risk my life to get it.” She was exceedingly excited because she didn’t expect such an unexpected joy.

Earlier, the Immortal Brush essence hadn’t realized she was impersonating, as she used the blood and soul exchange technique. It could be said that Maltida Torres’s entire Blood Energy and bloodline were fused with her, so it was very normal for the Immortal Brush not to notice. After the shapeshifting demon stepped out of the tent, she immediately saw the exceptionally dignified Diego Jacobs. This person exuded nobility and commanded respect without anger, so there was no need to guess; she recognized him as the leader of the Cloud River Area. As for the other one, he seemed quite scholarly, but he was just a prime Dao Master, so she didn’t pay much attention to him. “Greetings, Master,” the shapeshifting demon kneeled on one knee before Diego Jacobs; at this time, she appeared extremely capable since she was Maltida Torres. “Number Seven, stand up and speak, are your injuries healed?” Diego Jacobs nodded. Earlier, he had sent the Immortal Brush to help Maltida Torres, also wanting the Immortal Brush to investigate to see if there was anything unusual about her. Since the Immortal Brush didn’t find anything, Maltida Torres remained his loyal subordinate. The shapeshifting demon stood up, and Diego Jacobs continued to ask, “Tell me again what happened before.” “Yes…” the shapeshifting demon, according to Maltida Torres’s soul memory, plus her own embellishments, talked about invisibility and cold arrows, making it so they had no chance to find the enemy and were killed consecutively. The reason she survived was because Wes Torres saved her, telling her to return and report. “Hmm, I understand. You rest well, I will avenge Wes Torres and them.” After listening, Diego Jacobs coldly laughed, then swept his gaze around, saying, “Gabriel Freeman, I will make you wish you were dead.” Meanwhile, Yusuf Zuck’s migrating army was about to reach Cloud Valley, and also, nine scouts from the ten-person team had already been brought back, brought to him.
