Invisible Security Guard-Chapter 1995 - 2014: Forests and Canyons

The Redcoat King gathered heroes from all over the world, but in reality, it was just a facade. He was a schemer, sinister and ruthless. He used the guise of recruiting heroes to build his influence, with things like blood alliances. However, in truth, everyone who pledged allegiance to him was controlled by his soul, and they became his slaves, including two Advanced Immortals of the same realm.

Thus, when he called out, dozens in the hall would immediately kneel at his command.

If he surrendered, it meant everyone surrendered.

The Dew of Creation did not make the Redcoat King more powerful; it only made him surrender to Yusuf Zuck, and the steward was the same.

At this moment, Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath. Frankly speaking, making an Advanced Immortal submit was very difficult; the right time and place were indispensable. Missing even one would spell failure, as they were Advanced Immortals with the fastest reactions and top-tier magical powers.

But fortunately, in this first battle, he claimed victory.

"Alright, everyone stand up." Yusuf Zuck walked to the throne and sat down. Currently, the situation was that, apart from the dozens of Demon Cultivators in the hall, the outside world didn’t know that these people had become his subordinates.

So, he could utilize these people to catch others off guard!

"What is your name?" He looked at the steward, who, although just an Intermediate Immortal, felt different to him!

"In response to my master, your servant has no name, but they all call your servant ’Hundred Eyed Scholar.’

"Hundred Eyed Scholar? What does that mean?" Yusuf Zuck was curious.

"Master, please look." The steward opened his chest as he spoke, and Yusuf Zuck’s eyes widened in shock.

Because... because the steward’s stomach was covered with eyes, almost a hundred, each with a different shape: phoenix eyes, round eyes, narrow eyes, ghostly eyes, and so on.

"You... you, what is your true form?" Yusuf Zuck swallowed. Was there truly someone whose belly was covered with eyes? And a hundred of them no less?

"Your servant’s true form is a Heavenly Centipede!"

"Oh." Yusuf Zuck nodded. "So, what you said earlier, is it true? Did you really see me lying?"

"Yes." The Hundred Eyed Scholar nodded. "Your servant’s innate divine ability is to discern truth from falsehood."

"Alright, let’s keep it this way. As for the rest of you, continue doing what you’re supposed to do. For now, there’s no need to merge with the Empire. Rule over Redcoat City as you please, while also helping this king gather important information, like any forces targeting the Empire. At that time, you must immediately inform this king. I will leave a communication jade slip."

"Yes." The Redcoat King and the Hundred Eyed Scholar bowed deeply in acknowledgment.

"Open your pocket world, let me out."

"Yes." After the Redcoat King responded, the entire space began to twist, and a large gap appeared. In fact, inside this Redcoat Cave, the form and soul were united, seamlessly controlled by him.

It could be said that once someone entered this Redcoat Cave, their life and death were controlled by him. This was also why he could quickly gather dozens of people to become his subordinates.

If Yusuf Zuck hadn’t relied on an ambush, he wouldn’t have succeeded.

After leaving the Redcoat Cave, he immediately took out the petition listed by Parker Berger and turned his gaze to the second force he needed to subdue.

This force was previously mentioned by the steward, known as the Heavenly Intelligence King!

The Heavenly Intelligence King, of unknown origin and identity, was rarely known in detail. Few had ever seen this person’s true form.

This person had the ability to know the secrets of heaven and perceive everything, even predicting danger. Thus, he was highly renowned in the western land. He did not occupy any city but instead a bandit stronghold.

In the west, there was an extensive mountain range, so vast that even those with the longevity realm couldn’t fly to the end in months. Within the mountains were many strange peaks, among which was one named Heavenly Intelligence Mountain.

This mountain was originally nameless, but after being occupied by the Heavenly Intelligence King, it was named Heavenly Intelligence Mountain. Due to the immense cleverness of the Heavenly Intelligence King, whatever he wanted to achieve, he almost always succeeded, making his influence increasingly large, with no failures in looting or plundering cities.

Moreover, this person had few Immortal experts under his command, seemingly only two, but there were many common followers.

This person lived in seclusion in the deep mountains, knowing world affairs without stepping out of his home. Countless have tried to kill him or seize his territory, but he ultimately assimilated them.

He didn’t recruit many soldiers, merely living his solitary life.

Heading west, Yusuf Zuck would enter the mountain range, and the reason the Heavenly Intelligence King became his second target was that indeed, he lacked talents under his command!

Also, the specific cultivation level of the Heavenly Intelligence King was unknown, only that he was at Longevity, but whether he was Intermediate or Advanced was not known.

Yusuf Zuck entered the mountains, still in disguise, still in the guise of a scholar, and did not rush, but leisurely advanced along the mountain trail.

After traveling close to a hundred miles, he arrived at a gorge. To go to the west, one had to traverse this great gorge, along which there were caravans and caravans on the move.

And at the entrance of the gorge, there was a tea pavilion where many people sat drinking steaming black tea of an unknown kind!

Yusuf Zuck observed for a while from a distance and found these people were indeed traveling merchants. The tea pavilion was also very old, run by an elderly couple, and everyone chatted and laughed with them!

After contemplating for a while, he walked over.

Many glanced at him, but after another look, they returned to drinking tea and chatting or preparing to leave, and so on.

"Uncle, why open a tea pavilion here?" Yusuf Zuck asked curiously, "Bring me a bowl to try, it smells quite fragrant, like it has the scent of herbs!"

"Without drinking tea, don’t enter the mountains or the gorge. This tea wards off evil, averts disasters, and keeps cold at bay. Drinking a bowl of my tea can withstand the eerie wind in the gorge!" The old man laughed as he poured Yusuf Zuck a bowl.

Yusuf Zuck lifted it and took a careful whiff. It was non-toxic, had a heavy aroma, but the blackness was a bit unappealing.

"Drink, drink, this is tea to ward off evil. Many have entered the gorge without drinking my tea and succumbed to evil or went mad. So my tea is divine tea!"

"Haha!" The surrounding people laughed heartily, some ordering two more bowls, others filling their water bags.

Yusuf Zuck tried a sip; it was slightly astringent and slightly sweet upon entry. Then he felt a fiery energy like strong liquor flowing through his throat, instantly warming his whole body, and it seemed all his meridians, including his soul, were continuously refined by some energy, leaving him energized!

"Good stuff!" Yusuf Zuck praised, "This tea boosts energy, concentrates the mind, and provides warmth!"

"Didn’t I tell you?" The tea elder chuckled.

"Good tea." Yusuf Zuck nodded.

Just then, suddenly, a bird’s cry came from the distant forest, and countless mountain birds took flight, and the sky began to blow a black wind!

"Quickly, get into the gorge, the black wind is coming." Everyone quickly packed up their bags and rushed into the gorge, wanting to pass through before the black wind arrived. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

However, what Yusuf Zuck and the others hadn’t noticed was that among those mountain birds, one flew into the forest and then left the group, swiftly weaving through the forest at low altitude!
