Chapter 1685 - 1705: Detoxification?
The eight heavenly horses soared through the void. A few hours later, Yusuf Zuck successfully met up with Doug Shepherd, Joy Webb, and the others. Then, the heavenly horses took off once more, heading straight for the Royal City.
Yusuf Zuck occupied the largest and most comfortable master bedroom in the heavenly carriage, while Sarah Webb, Kyla Webb, and Ellen Webb excitedly looked around, serving tea and water.
Princess sat beside Yusuf Zuck, reading the brief report provided by Casen Torres, which contained the latest intelligence gathered about the internal and external affairs of Jake King.
Casen Torres knelt in front of Yusuf Zuck, waiting for his orders.
Additionally, the front of the eight fiery horses was cleared by the one-legged Kui Bull, while a dragon and a phoenix guarded the rear, making a grand spectacle!
With the Kui Bull leading the way and the heavenly horses soaring, it was clear that Casen Torres was traveling. As such, various immortals passing through the sky retreated and dared not disturb.
"To cross three marquisates, twenty-seven provinces, over a hundred counties, it’s quite a distant journey!" Yusuf Zuck looked at the map. Flying directly would mean passing over these cities and lands. Even at the speed of the heavenly horses, it would still take three months to reach the Royal City.
Of course, this is why Yusuf Zuck needed to use Casen Torres’ carriage. Without it, crossing such a vast land would certainly lead to being discovered. The closer to the center, the more cities there are, the more people, and the more experts.
As Yusuf Zuck sipped his tea and pondered how to operate upon reaching the Royal City, Princess finished reading the brief report.
She now seemed to naturally align herself with Yusuf Zuck, as if she had become his person, without any trace of unfamiliarity or rejection. She put down the report, frowned, and said, "The King is indeed not in the Royal City. The Crown Prince manages the government, while chaos is erupting everywhere, with bandits, zombies, and black-robed demons frequently appearing, killing and setting fires. However, the report states that it’s impossible to find out who’s behind these demons, although someone must be controlling them."
"Moreover, there have been strange occurrences in the palace recently. Several concubines have died for no reason, several princes have fallen seriously ill, and even my father is bedridden."
"Furthermore, the marquisates everywhere are behaving unusually, stockpiling troops and provisions. Casen Torres, what is the reason for this?" Princess asked Casen Torres.
