Chapter 1872: Chapter 1891: Shooting the Eagle with One Arrow The scout team of nine was extremely excited at this moment because these nobodies, always on the front lines and never remembered, actually got to meet the King. Gabriel Freeman, the King of Longevity, was a miracle maker and legend who ruled the three realms in a short time, gathering countless super experts under his command, many of whom were willing to die for him. Moreover, Gabriel Freeman was also the first to dare to call himself king in the Transit Realm, making him unique in millions of years of history. Of course, they were excited but also worried because they did not know what kind of temperament Gabriel Freeman had, and whether he would kill them, given that they needed to lie and cover up for Mulan Velez. “Rise.” Yusuf Zuck, mounted on his horse, called out as he halted, causing the entire troop to stop with him. The nine scouts immediately stood up, but they did not dare to look at the King of Longevity. “Parker Berger, reward them by promoting each by three ranks.” “What?” The nine-person team was shocked; the King had promoted them without asking anything? “Understood.” Parker Berger nodded, noting it down. “Alright, let’s continue our journey.” Yusuf Zuck didn’t say more or ask anything. At this time, not only the team of nine was bewildered, but even Parker Berger felt puzzled. If the King had asked questions, this group might not have lied and would have spoken the truth, but the King asked nothing. The nine men mechanically cleared the path as Yusuf Zuck spurred his horse onward quickly. “You nine continue with your previous assignments. Once past Cloud Valley, you’ll receive your new postings. Everyone, keep moving.” After issuing commands, Parker Berger followed Yusuf Zuck. The team of nine exchanged glances filled with excitement, thrilled at their promotion by three levels. But the King also left them with a sense of unfathomability; he asked nothing yet seemed to know everything, leaving them in awe. In reality, Yusuf Zuck had no idea and couldn’t even guess who Mulan Velez was. He only sensed it was someone from Demi Garrett’s faction supporting him, but he had no clue about Mulan Velez’s identity. Meanwhile, as Yusuf Zuck advanced, Diego Jacobs at the Lake of Sun and Moon within Cloud Valley received news that the Longevity Division was about to reach the valley entrance. “Open the Cloud Eye,” Diego Jacobs sneered. “Open.” The nine Formation Masters around the lake pointed to the sky, causing a cloud cave to appear above the lake. Through the cloud cave, the view of Cloud Valley beneath was fully visible and distinct. “They’re here…” As the Cloud Eye activated, Diego Jacobs and others saw scouts assembling and moving at the valley entrance, probing forward for the Longevity Division. After the scout team entered Cloud Valley, a lone figure appeared in Diego Jacobs’s sight. The person rode a white horse, exuding an extraordinary aura, dressed in royal robes with Cloud Boots, and an Emperor Sword at the waist. “Huh? How could he not have come through Cloud Valley?” Diego Jacobs and Gracie Sweeney both murmured in surprise. Through the Cloud Eye, they could confirm that the extraordinarily dignified person was indeed the King of Longevity. Such imperial aura and commanding presence could not be impersonated by another, hence it was without a doubt the real King of Longevity. But if the King of Longevity was within the main troop, what about yesterday’s assassination attempt? Could he have killed people and then returned? “Look, King of Longevity has stopped.” At that moment, King of Longevity halted outside the bamboo grove at the valley entrance. Entering the grove meant entering Cloud Valley. At this point, Diego Jacobs, Gracie Sweeney, and others were incredibly nervous, worried that the King of Longevity might not fall into this trap and enter this snare. Although Yusuf Zuck did not understand formations deeply, he could forcibly break them in an instant. With the Epoch Etching Blade, Grand Light, and Sinful Light, formations posed little threat to him and his forces. However, once inside Cloud Valley, the main troop would be unable to maneuver freely, and in the ensuing chaos and crowding, the enemy could easily take advantage. Chapters first released on novｅlfire.net “Order the troops to spread out, avoid crowding too closely, stay vigilant, and protect yourselves. Let’s go.” Yusuf Zuck instructed softly before charging forward, entering Cloud Valley in an instant. “He went in.” Seeing Yusuf Zuck enter, Gracie Sweeney and the three protectors, along with the nine Formation Masters, all breathed sighs of relief. “His entry means nothing; we aim for everyone to come in. Don’t rush, wait for all his troops to enter before activating the formation. The formation wasn’t meant to kill the King of Longevity but to kill his soldiers.” “Understood.” Everyone obeyed, continuing to wait patiently. The troops swarmed into Cloud Valley; the vast gorge had sharply peaked mountains on both sides, with clouds swirling atop. The unit moved cautiously, making Cloud Valley feel eerily calm. Just then, at the Lake of Sun and Moon, Diego Jacobs suddenly remarked, “It’s too quiet; they’ll grow cautious. Old Nine, your divine pet, release it for a bit of harassment.” “As you command.” A protector sneered, whistling abruptly, then a giant eagle glided forward, flying towards Cloud Valley. Within a breath or two, Yusuf Zuck and others heard an eagle’s screech. Looking up, they saw a massive eagle, almost as large as a ship, gliding low, its wings like gilded iron, shining brightly. “Heavens, it’s a formidable beast at the high Dao Master realm.” A small commotion stirred within the troops, and Parker Berger quickly rode to Yusuf Zuck’s side, saying, “This is protector Remington Quinn’s divine pet from the Cloud River Region; it’s exceptionally fierce and can fly across the Cloud Valley. Cloud River Department might be making a move.” “Shoot it down and roast it,” Yusuf Zuck laughed heartily, flipping his wrist for the Hell God Bow. This Hell God Bow could easily kill even the highest Dao Masters, so the eagle was courting death. Yusuf Zuck stood on horseback, drew the bowstring, and gathered invincible power, instantly merging the Power of the Other Shore with the dark force of the Hell God’s Arrow. “Biu~” He released, and the Divine Arrow pierced through the air in a flash, reaching the eagle’s chest. The fierce eagle tried to grab the arrow with its claws. Yet, as soon as its claws touched the arrow, the sky burst with a loud ‘pop,’ shredding its claws into dust by the sheer Power of the Other Shore. Then, the Hell God’s Arrow penetrated the eagle’s chest, blasting through. “Hiss~ Boom” The eagle exploded, its massive body instantly turning into a rain of blood, a wisp of energy swiftly absorbed by Yusuf Zuck. “Long live the King, long live, long live!” Witnessing this, the whole army erupted in cheers, their morale boosted. At the Lake of Sun and Moon, Diego Jacobs and others sucked in a cold breath witnessing this through the Cloud Eye. Protector Remington Quinn shrieked, “What Magic Treasure is that, to be so powerful? My divine pet, arghhhhh…” he roared in fury, beside himself with rage!
