Invisible Security Guard-Chapter 2087 - 2106: The Return of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer
Blue Light Universe, Divine World Continent, Royal City.
Yusuf Zuck arrived in the Royal City two hours ago. After opening the Gate of the Other Shore, he found himself here with just a thought!
The method of using the Gate of the Other Shore is very simple: wherever the heart is, the other shore is there. So when he thought about the small grove outside the Royal City, his body appeared in that grove.
Then he disguised himself and entered the Royal City!
However, after wandering around the Royal City for two hours, he felt heavy-hearted because, as the dead demon had guessed, the Divine World Continent’s dynasty was once again under the control of the Heavenly King. During this time, he also uncovered some inside information.
Not long ago, the Divine World was ruled by an evil monster bird, known for its extreme cruelty and endless harm.
As soon as the Heavenly King returned, he killed that evil bird!
Of course, no one actually saw the killing, but the bird was indeed gone. When the people of the Divine World King Realm heard that their king had returned, the dispersed forces from the mountains rapidly reassembled under the Heavenly King’s banner, resulting in a super unification of the Divine World Continent.
However, as for what happened to the dynasty after unification, commoners don’t know. They only know that the king still resides in the palace, and he is still the same king.
Yusuf Zuck spent two hours gathering this information, so he’s troubled. Did Cheryl Mills really return from the Snow Mountain Domain? And now that the Heavenly King has returned, what does he intend to do? What is his current cultivation level?
Yusuf entered a tavern, ordered a couple of side dishes, and sipped his drink while looking in the direction of the palace.
The place is heavily guarded. It’s said that after the Heavenly King returned, the place became like an iron bucket, with no one allowed to approach. The formation was re-established, and flying is prohibited in the Royal City.
Sipping his drink, Yusuf quietly activated his Piercing Eyes to see what was happening inside!
However, when he looked toward the palace with the Piercing Eyes, he almost jumped out of shock because... because it was no longer the palace; it was actually a black hole!
On the surface, it looked identical to the palace of years past, but when viewed through the Piercing Eyes, it was a continuously devouring black hole, and he couldn’t discern anything inside!
Yusuf was utterly shocked. What is happening? How did the palace turn into this? Why can’t even my all-seeing Piercing Eyes see through it? How did it become a black hole?
Yusuf needed a long moment to calm himself, squinting his eyes to consider his next move. Since he couldn’t pierce through or observe the unfathomable palace, the only option was...
Night exploration of the palace!
After some contemplation, Yusuf decided to explore the palace at night, hoping to uncover some insider information. After all, the Heavenly King could not be underestimated.
The Prohibition Formation Method at the palace wouldn’t be a problem for him.
...
Soon, it was dark. Yusuf waited in the tavern for another full hour. After the sky turned completely dark, he stood up to leave.
And as he merged into the darkness, his body gradually became invisible.
No need for the Hermit’s Cloak; no one could see him now. His Parasitic Light had evolved once more, so he had no worries about being discovered.
Skirting the street corner, he reached the foot of the palace wall. When no one was around, he used his fingertip to touch the wall’s Prohibition Formation, and a small flame ignited with a ’pop.’ He had used the Eternal Fire to burn a hole through the prohibition.
Without anyone noticing, he slipped through the hole, which then repaired itself!
The prohibition was strong, but Yusuf’s Eternal Fire was more than capable. Like welding in the mortal world, the flame melted it instantly. Even a pocket dimension couldn’t stop him! 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
However, once inside the palace, he expected to fall into the black hole, but instead, he was surprised to find it identical to its past state. He had been here twice before: once when he stormed in to rescue Sandy and another time when he pursued the Demon King. This was a return to familiar ground.
He wasn’t too fearful, even if discovered by the Heavenly King, he wasn’t afraid. His current strength was nearly invincible.
He estimated that even the Heavenly King at his strongest couldn’t match him.
After all, he had the unbeatable Sky Power, and even the Nirvana of Seven Eras couldn’t withstand a single strike from him, so no matter how great the Heavenly King’s fortune, it couldn’t surpass the Nirvana Realm of Seven Eras, right?
So if discovered, he figured he’d have the chance to test the Heavenly King’s current cultivation level.
Truthfully, he didn’t harbor much animosity toward the Heavenly King. Sandy thought highly of the Heavenly King, and Aubree Gould, who used to be the Heavenly King’s concubine, also had a favorable opinion.
Unfortunately, the Heavenly King couldn’t perform ’human deeds,’ which was rather sad. Otherwise, his relationship with Sandy and Aubree Gould might not be what it is today.
He followed the path he took to rescue Sandy, heading toward the back garden, which leads to the harem.
As he walked further in, he felt it increasingly odd because the number of people diminished the further he went until, when he reached the harem where Sandy once lived, it was eerily quiet!
There wasn’t even a guard, let alone maidservants!
The place lacked the warmth of life, as if abandoned!
Thinking it through, Yusuf wasn’t surprised. The Heavenly King was an odd one, neither truly male nor female, with a twisted heart wishing to be a woman, so the concubines had long been gone, and the maidservants were dismissed. The so-called harem ceased to exist!
He couldn’t help but pity him. Though a king himself, Yusuf would occasionally escape to the Blue Sea and Cloud Sky, but the Heavenly King, was he a man? He couldn’t perform those acts!
Considered a woman? He could only offer his rear...
Yusuf found this thought amusing and nearly laughed out loud.
But just then, his ears suddenly picked up music!
"Wait, it sounds like a zither!" Yusuf listened carefully and confirmed it was indeed the sound of a zither.
"Hmm, let’s go see!" He began moving toward the source of the sound.
However, as he walked, he suddenly stopped, his arms trembling, followed by his entire body shaking!
Because... because... the zither music stopped, but what followed was... Laughing Proudly Over Rivers and Lakes!
That’s right, Yusuf was sure he didn’t mishear or hallucinate. It was the melody of Laughing Proudly Over Rivers and Lakes, although there was no singing!
That melody... Kenji May used to play it.
"Kenji May, Kenji May, how could he be here?" Yusuf rushed forward, bewildered. All those years, he’d never understood why Kenji May played Laughing Proudly Over Rivers and Lakes, despite theorizing all sorts of possibilities yet never guessing the truth. This was one reason why Kenji May lingered on his mind!
Yet Kenji May had been missing for countless years, his fate unknown, and now Yusuf heard the melody Kenji May once played in the Royal Palace, so how could he not be shocked?
"Kenji May!" he shouted, regardless of exposure, and darted toward the source of the melody as fast as he could!
