Chapter 1119 - 1118: Turning Against Someone
Yusuf Zuck was oblivious to the changes that had taken place at the old residence and was even more unaware of an impending crisis.
At this very moment, three great demons had already returned to Blue Sea and Cloud Sky, and he was personally in charge of guarding the women in the Linglong Pond.
In the Linglong Pond, Ruth Wilcox, Lily Case, Selena Gould, Miles O’Brien, Ruby Wood, Sara Zuck, Faye Webb, along with Mia Escobar’s wife Rene Benson, and the wife of the man known as the pillar, Whitley Ortiz—for a total of nine people—were receiving the baptism of the Linglong pool water.
In fact, the Linglong Pond was also an underground spring, likely a rare treasure from outside the highest realms of the Immortal Realm. Even when Yusuf Zuck used Telekinesis to probe, his Nascent Soul conveyed a longing, desiring to drink up all the waters of the Linglong Pond.
However, Yusuf dared not activate the Eye of Heaven again since the pool water was crucial; if he were to drain it, his relatives who were just beginning this inaugural ritual, followed by a second and third group, would be the first to suffer.
"This pond’s water is more potent than the resources of those secret places; if it could be drained, I might ascend a minor rank, perhaps reaching Immortal Holy Nine Products?" Yusuf Zuck chuckled and shook his head. Although boosting his rank was possible, the water was not to be used for that purpose, so he had to endure.
...
Meanwhile, while Yusuf Zuck was guarding above Linglong Pond, inside the tea house, Cayson Meskill, Leilani May, and Martin Huppe had reached an agreement. Rather than trading with Martin Huppe and ultimately entrusting their lives to him, only to then enter his realm and perhaps be replaced by someone else, it was better to deal with their own people.
Thus, their decision was to seize the realm and kill Huppe.
"We absolutely can’t let him escape," Leilani May, the Great Emperor, said gravely, "If we’re to kill him, it must be with a decisive blow, or else the repercussions will be endless!" In Leilani May’s plan, killing Martin Huppe was not originally included; after all, as a Son of Creation, his potential was boundless, so being friends would be better than being enemies.
She did not wish for an enemy emerging just before her Ascension, causing trouble and chaos.
