Chapter 876 - 875: Gathering Thoughts into Soldiers
Seven bloody heads were frozen and placed inside a wooden box, and then Selena Gould had someone deliver these seven heads to the Earth Immortals of various sects a hundred miles away, telling them that the Heaven Spring Sect would send representatives to assist the seven sects in electing new leaders.
This move by Selena Gould was very cunning, as her representatives would ensure that the newly elected sect leaders would be in alliance with the Heaven Spring Sect!
At the same time, the Heaven Spring Sect hosted a grand banquet to entertain Yusuf Zuck and also proactively offered him a gourd of Heaven Spring water.
Late at night, after the banquet had ended and the senior members of the Heaven Spring Sect had left, Selena Gould personally escorted Yusuf Zuck to his guest room. Ever since she had killed those seven people earlier that day, Selena had stayed close to Yusuf, not as a gesture of flattery but treating him as a distinguished guest, which was why she kept him company.
"Miss Gould, thank you for the generous hospitality today. However, I wish to leave overnight since I’m eager to return home and cannot bear to stay here any longer!" Yusuf stood in the courtyard of the guest room and did not move forward. Staying to share a meal was to prove that he was still human, but this meal was tasteless to him.
"Are you in such a hurry to leave?" Selena Gould paused momentarily and said.
"Yes, when I left my home, my family was there. I don’t know whether they are dead or alive, so I must hurry back!" Yusuf answered truthfully.
"Whew," Selena exhaled deeply, nodding. "I understand Mr. Zuck’s feelings at this moment, it’s just... it’s just..." She wanted to keep Yusuf for a while longer because, with him here, the Heaven Spring Sect could quickly get back on track, and the integration of the seven sects could proceed smoothly without any disruptions due to his presence.
Yusuf was well aware of her intentions, but he didn’t relent because he had already helped Selena, fulfilling the terms of their arrangement. Now that the terms were met, he had to leave immediately.
"It’s just..." Selena looked at Yusuf, "it’s just that the journey to the Central Star is long, and without guidance, sir, you might take many wrong turns, and might not even find the Central Continent!"
