Chapter 750 - Zion\'s Suspicion
Eternal Night Secret Realm
A few miles outside the Bone Sea\'s north outer rim, the Battle God Palace\'s people gathered on a rocky mountain.
Young Master Zion stood near the mountain cliff\'s edge and stared at the Bone Sea in the distance, observing its situation.
However, 12 out of the 20 Extremity-rank Battle Masters that accompanied Young Master Zion were present.
Swoosh~!
Another Extremity-rank Battle Master suddenly flew up and landed on the mountain cliff, bringing an updraft of wind with him before he knelt in front of Young Master Zion.
"As per your instructions, I have conquered an Arch Demon-level Tomb before returning, Young Master Zion. Please use these items to aid your cultivation, Young Master."
The Extremity-rank Battle Master presented the Arch Demon-level inheritance, containing one Arch Demon-level demon core and multiple Tier-6 pieces of equipment.
However, Young Master Zion didn\'t even glance at the offering.
"Uncle Jizo, I sent you and the others out to look for opportunities, not so you can gift them back to me, but to let you improve yourself," Zion spoke.
"I won\'t take what my servants earned for themselves."
"I understand that, but I am willingly offering the Arch Demon-level inheritance to you, Young Master. I want to be of help to you," Jizo stated.
Nevertheless, Zion shook his head and argued, "You\'ll be of more help to me when you become a Battle King, Uncle Jizo. So please don\'t force me to take your hard-earned rewards."
After Zion said that, Jizo had no choice but to agree to his young master\'s wish.
"I understand, Young Master. I won\'t speak any further on this matter," Jizo conceded.
Although Jizo was disappointed that Young Master Zion didn\'t accept his gift, it won the other Extremity-rank Battle Masters\' hearts.
As a result, it strengthened their loyalty to Young Master Zion.
However, the young boy didn\'t plan, nor was he aware of his servants\' thoughts. He simply spoke and acted according to his own principles.
"Take this chance to absorb the Arch Demon-level demon core now, Uncle Jizo. We won\'t be going anywhere for the time being, and the others will guard for you."
"Thank you, Young Master."
Shortly after Jizo began absorbing the Arch Demon-level demon core\'s energy to temper his body, another Extremity-rank Battle Master from the Battle God Palace returned.
A few moments after that, a few more servants returned.
"We have returned with news, Young Master."
"Let\'s hear it then."
"As we suspected, most of the demons have entered the Bone Sea. Only small groups of Lesser Demons were spotted in the outer rim. Therefore, it\'s safe to assume that the secret realm\'s best inheritances are all found in the Bone Sea."
"I see… Then if we want to get our hands on the best inheritances, we have no choice but to enter the Bone Sea and compete with the demons…" Zion muttered with a frown.
After a moment, Zion sought his servants\' opinions, "What does everyone think about our chances in the Bone Sea?"
"Even for us, it will be difficult to fight against so many demons at once, especially the Greater Demons; There are too many of them. So our chances aren\'t high on our own, but if we work with the other tribes…"
"Our chances will definitely be higher if we work with other tribes. But unfortunately, there aren\'t many tribes interested in challenging the Bone Sea."
"I agree with Bonz," another servant agreed before adding, "When scouting the area, I noticed many tribes were avoiding the Bone Sea and searching for tombs in the outer edges of the secret realm."
"We seemed so united when we entered the secret realm together, but the truth is very far from that. We cannot be any more divided. In the face of self-interest, it\'s every tribe for themselves—if not every man for themselves."
The Extremity-rank Battle Master by the name Bonz sighed at the lamentable situation of humans.
"The tribes are divided because they don\'t have anyone qualified to unite and lead them. However, we have Young Master Zion, the son of the Third Lord Rolthos, here with us. The blood of the Battle God runs in his veins."
"Right, if it\'s Young Master Zion, he can definitely rally the tribes and unite them," another Extremity-rank Battle Master expressed his opinion.
However, Zion thought otherwise.
"You\'re wrong, Uncle Puxi," Zion shook his head and said, "I might have a noble status as a royal member of the Battle God Palace, but I am still a 13-year-old kid. My noble status alone isn\'t enough to convince the proud warriors of the Infertile Plains to follow me."
"This…"
Their young master\'s words nearly swayed Puxi and the other servants, causing them to hesitate for a moment.
However, Puxi shortly argues, "But Young Master isn\'t just any normal 13-year-old kid. You are a 13-year-old Battle Master! Even other Battle Masters to give recognition to your peerless talent and endless potential."
"No matter how great my talents are, my strength is only at the Early-stage of Battle Master Realm. So long as I am weaker than the tribal chiefs, it will be difficult to rally them under my leadership."
Despite being a 13-year-old boy, Zion wasn\'t ignorant of the pride ingrained in every warrior.
"Nevertheless, it\'s not like I was the best candidate anyway. There is someone even more qualified than me in rallying and leading everyone to challenge the Bone Sea," Zion added.
Bonz, Puxi, and the other servants were stunned before one of them asked, "You mean Young Master Leonhardt, Young Master?"
"Precisely. Out of everyone who participated in this secret realm, I don\'t think anyone is more qualified than Big Brother Leonhardt," Zion answered truthfully.
When Young Master Leonhardt\'s name was brought, several servants seemed convinced by their young master\'s view.
However, there was something they didn\'t understand.
"I understand that Young Master Leonhardt is a great person and that he had even saved Young Master\'s life. So it wouldn\'t be strange for Young Master to respect Young Master Leonhardt…"
"…But don\'t you think you are being a bit too respectful when you address Young Master Leonhardt, Young Master? After all, Young Master is still someone with noble status."
"Well, I\'m not so sure; I have this feeling that Big Brother Leon could be related to me," Zion replied, stunning the servants.
"What?"
