Chapter 1928: Chapter 1947: More Meddlers Arrive

The saying goes, “A wise man knows when to adapt,” and in this world, Francis Harmon is not the only one who understands this.

Just after Francis Harmon was appointed an official, preserving his own life and all his belongings, more visitors began to arrive.

These visitors all grasped the situation, realizing that in such a major trend, siding with the Longevity Empire is the wise choice!

So a security agency in Transient City, a wealthy merchant, and several sect forces came forward one after another to welcome Gabriel Freeman, express their loyalty, and pledge allegiance to the Longevity Empire!

They knew that resisting was futile, and the Longevity Empire’s occupation of Transient City was inevitable, so proactively offering treasures and pledging allegiance at this moment would undoubtedly score some impression points with Gabriel Freeman.

Meanwhile, Yusuf Zuck met with these people one by one, instructing them to return to the city to prepare for the Longevity Empire’s entrance into Transient City. While it might not be necessary to have loud drums, a lively celebration with fireworks is certainly needed, to show it off to the world!

Of course, just as there are those who know when to adapt, there are those who don’t. Transient City is chaotic right now, with many aristocrats, wealthy families, and major forces busy moving house. Some are leaving without even their homes or shops, taking away everything they can, and setting fire to their own houses to burn what they cannot take!

Therefore, Transient City is now full of smoke and noise, with constant streams of people migrating, fleeing the city.

No one can stop this, as Transient City lacks any laws or order, so people moving house or burning their own properties is beyond anyone’s control.

At the same time, there are still some people who not only fail to adapt but remain stubborn and discontent. These people are mostly representatives of major forces, because they used to be prominent figures in Transient City, walking tall and proud. So now, with someone suddenly coming to claim the city and become the ruler, making everyone obey the ruler, how could they agree?

Although they are no match for Gabriel Freeman or the Longevity Empire now, they could still undermine them, cause trouble, and connect with friends and influential people to plan and find a way out together!

Thus, a meeting was being held in the Drunken Immortal Tower!

The attendees were all notable figures in the Transit Realm!

Like the Six-leaf Venerable, Wind Lady, Roy Jacobson, and others, including sects like the Five Elements Gate, The Gate of Blue Sky, and the Immeasurable Gate!

Of course, there were many with cultivation levels of eternal life, like the Stone Spirit Monarch, Lexie Henson, Marshall Holloway, Maria Haney, the Rolling Dragon, and following the Stone Spirit Monarch, a group of people with terrifyingly deep, unfathomable cultivation levels.

No one had ever seen these people, and even the Stone Spirit Monarch seemed uncharacteristically reserved in front of them.

The ground floor of Drunken Immortal Tower was very large, able to accommodate hundreds of tables for dining simultaneously, and at this moment, it was packed with people.

These people had heard the news and spontaneously gathered to discuss countermeasures! Yet, strangers were not allowed in; a stranger would need an introduction to enter!

“Everyone, Gabriel Freeman and his grand army will arrive soon. We must have some plan, right? Are we really going to move our families? Or bow down in submission? Today, we gather here to devise a response.” The first to stand up and speak was Roy Jacobson, who seemed to love jumping around!

“A response? If there was one, Cuthbert Harmon, Francis Harmon wouldn’t have surrendered; if there was one, the Five Elements Gate and Hundred Flowers Gate wouldn’t have been forced to leave!”

“Exactly, what kind of response can we have? Gabriel Freeman kills those at the eternal life realm as easily as taking items from a bag, it’s a real instant kill. How can we contend with him?”

“And, everyone must remember that King Alongside is none other than the little troublemaker and witch Miguel Crane; you must know, Miguel Crane is at the middle level eternal life realm, and how many people in the world are at the middle level eternal life realm? With this little troublemaker, coupled with Gabriel Freeman, what do we have to fight them?”

“Ha, is middle level eternal life so amazing?” Suddenly, the Stone Spirit Monarch stood up!

“It’s Brother Stone!”

“Greetings, Brother!”

“Brother seems to have increased his cultivation level again!”

The surrounding people did not stop flattering; after all, the Stone Spirit Monarch was indeed a mighty eternal being!

“Everyone, allow me to introduce my honorable mentor!” The Stone Spirit Monarch clasped his fists toward everyone and then pointed to a middle-aged man beside him, saying, “This is my mentor, Lovell Pena!”

“Greetings, everyone!” Lovell Pena stood up with a smile and clasped his fists toward the crowd.

At this moment, people were perplexed. The Stone Spirit Monarch introduced his mentor, but how does that concern us?

The Stone Spirit Monarch smiled slightly and proudly said, “You all may not know, but my mentor and his twelve brothers and sisters are all at the middle level eternal life realm!”

“What?”

Hearing this, everyone was almost shocked to jump out of their seats. Today, there were many attendees, including supreme lords and those at the eternal life realm, yet now thirteen middle level eternal life practitioners suddenly appeared?

This was indeed incredible, for it seemed that the only known middle level eternal life was the Longevity Empire’s King Alongside, and the world only knew of that one person!

And now, thirteen suddenly showed up!

“You hear correctly. My mentor and his twelve brothers and sisters are all at the middle level eternal life realm, and they are all surnamed ‘Lovell,’ and they are one family!”

“Whew~” Everyone gasped in shock again. Thirteen siblings—this was even more unbelievable; with these thirteen joining forces, who could stand against them?

Of course, what the attendants didn’t know was that these thirteen were not truly siblings, and they were merely the thirteen middle level eternal life practitioners from the Spirit Rising Sky; upon arriving in the Transit Realm, they adopted the surname Lovell uniformly. It symbolized starting anew and was meant to intimidate others!

Thirteen friends of different surnames were not as fearsome as thirteen siblings. By appearing as siblings, everyone knew for sure they would stick together tightly, hence no one dared to challenge them!

The Stone Spirit Monarch then said, “Have you all considered this? Transient Realm has numerous forces establishing nations, and the Four Wastes have demonic beasts and monsters rampant. Safe zones are scarce, so even if we flee, where can we go?”

“Moreover, when the world is in turmoil, it is also a time of opportunity. My mentor predicts that the future Transit Realm will see the birth of a child of the era and will manifest the power of the era. Whoever gets a trace of this power might live an era in immortality!”

“Furthermore, my mentor plans to establish a nation and family right in Transient City and hopes that everyone here, with aspiration, will join us to pursue great accomplishments!”

“Consider this: A country established by thirteen middle-level eternal life practitioners, how powerful would that be? How impressive would it be? With my thirteen mentors leading, you wouldn’t need to move your families or bow down. You could stand tall against the world, for the future kingdom will belong to us!”
