Episode 17 – The House of Ghostly Blue Chapter 28 – Freedom

Linley had a shallow understanding of the power of the Lord God in the past. It was only considered to be ‘divine power’ of the advanced earth. Now it seemed. It was completely different. The power of the Lord God could, surprisingly, be used as a soul power.

“There is another benefit to the Lord God’s power.” Gaius Reyson laughed, “When you use the Lord God’s Power for a short while, both the body and the soul will receive some enhancement.”

“Eh?” Linley was surprised.

“That’s true.” Gaius Reyson sighed, “But the boost isn’t that great. If one is willing to waste it, using a thousand drops of the power of the Lord God continuously, both soul and body will metamorphose to an extremely strong point.”

“Thousand hundred drops. Who has it?” Linley laughed.

“Even if there is. No one would be willing to part with it.” Gaius Reyson said.

“The only advantage we, the Four Divine Beasts Clan, have over the Eight Great Clans is that we have quite a bit of Lord God power.” Gaisleyson sighed. “Relying on the power of the Lord God. We are able to do that and fight back even when we are caught in a siege. Only then can we keep the ratio of deaths on both sides one to one Linley nodded, after this time Linley realized. The other side was also very strong.

For example, that Moshiri’s innate divine ability was terrifying.

“With the old ancestor dead, the power of the main god is getting less and less used.” Gaius Reyson reminded, “Linley, this Lord God’s power can’t be used until it’s necessary, it’s too unworthy to waste it.”

“Yes. Patriarch.” Linley responded.

Even the Four Divine Beasts Clan had fewer reserves of the Lord God’s power nowadays “Alright. You go back. This period of time. My sister shouldn’t be able to arrange a mission for you. After all, after this time, the eight great families will be careful with you in the future. It won’t be so easy to kill two seven star demons.” Gaius Reyson laughed.

Linley nodded and immediately retreated.

At the eastern border of the Phantom Blue Mansion, four of the eight great clans were situated here, and among them was the Barbary Clan, which had migrated from the Water God Plane.

Deep in the depths of the Phantom Cold Mansion, a giant man stood in the garden.

His height was three and a half meters. His face was covered with a green beard like steel needles, and he was simply wearing a set of ancient armor, with a robe with a black serpent pattern buttoned on his shoulders. This person was currently staring at Koro in front of him.

“Koro. You didn’t even have time to fight back. And you were killed?” This giant man frowned.

“Matriarch. Me. I didn’t expect it.” Colo was filled with anger. “He is clearly a Mediate God, but who would have thought. He was actually concealing his breath, and when he was extremely close to me, he suddenly sneak attacked …… I didn’t even have time to fight back.”

At this moment, this Kollo, too, only had one Wind God doppelganger left.

“Not only me, even Mosley he didn’t realize that person was concealing his breath.” Kolo even said.

This Barbary Family Patriarch frowned deeply.

“Mosri didn’t notice it either. This I heard, his strongest Death God detachment was also destroyed this time.” The Barbary family patriarch said. “It seems that this person. Should be extremely strong in terms of souls.”

“Patriarch, according to the narrations of those underling bilocations of mine, the person who killed me wasn’t considered strong in terms of soul defense.” Colo even said.

“Eh?”

The Barbary Clan patriarch could not help but be puzzled. Immediately, his eyes looked outside the garden, and a black shadow immediately scurried in from outside the garden and stood respectfully at the side.

“Quickly go and investigate. Whether this Green Dragon clan has an additional elder. Whether or not he is good at hiding his strength.” This Barbary Clan Patriarch directly commanded.

“Yes. Patriarch.”

The black shadow disappeared once again.

After completing his last mission, it was unlikely that the Grand Elder would let Linley go and fight again in a short period of time, so Linley was in the Grand Canyon. With Bebe, Delia, and Cissy, they were enjoying a rare moment of tranquility.

Two years had also passed since the last mission, two years. Nothing much had happened. And on this day, Linley and Delia were eating some meals together.

“Delia she. Seems to have something in her heart.” Linley laughed in his heart. Today, this Delia was absent-mindedly eating with herself, wanting to say something but not saying it.

“Linley.” Delia stumbled for a long time before finally opening her mouth.

Been waiting for you to open your mouth for a long time. Linley smiled and said, “Delia. What’s the matter?”

Delia deliberated for a moment. Only then did she say, “Linley. We’ve been here in this Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range for a long time as well, more than eighty years.”

“En.” Linley nodded, “So what happened?”

“Linley, we broke all the way over here. Came to this Yu Lan Mansion and entered this Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range. Yes, it’s back to the clan. But …… are we going to stay in this Sky Ritual Mountain Range all this time?” Delia asked rhetorically.

Linley couldn’t help but frown, “Delia. You want to go out. You want to leave the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range?” Linley felt puzzled.

“No, not the land.” Delia said evenly. “Actually. I was thinking of accompanying the clan’s men and horses and making a trip to the city.”

“No way.” Linley firmly refused, “It’s too dangerous. No way.”

“Not dangerous.” Delia said evenly. “And. I’m not the only one. Bebe, Dylin, and many of them want to go out. Linley. We’re always in one place and don’t go out, you’re fine. Can cultivate. You can go and fight. But me and the others can only be in the Grand Canyon. After a long time, it’s all a bit depressing.”

Linley was stunned.

Linley could understand how Delia felt. Being in a place without contact with the outside world. It was fine at first. But for a slightly longer period of time. It would be unbearably stuffy, and if it was longer …… instead, one would get used to being lonely and repressed. When accustomed to lonely repression. Then the nature has changed.

Especially Delia accompanied Linley, is all the way through. Her heart. She is also free. She couldn’t be bound.

“Delia, I understand how you feel.” Linley nodded his head.

Back then, he had entered the Magic Beast Mountain Range to train for three years. During those three years, he was only accompanied by Bei Bei. The loneliness and isolation was truly depressing, and he almost couldn’t persevere. It was only because of hatred that he kept himself going.

“Delia, I’m sorry.” Linley reached out to hold Delia’s hand.

At this moment. Only then did Linley realize.

He had been too selfish!

He was all about himself. Letting himself go back to the clan, letting himself fight for the clan in the Valley of the Blood War, but he had never thought about Delia, Bebe, and their situation. He himself could live such a stirring life, but what about them?

All day long in the Grand Canyon, they lived a comfortable and dull life. Bebe was lively, and Delia loved freedom. She herself was looking forward to a life of passion, no one likes to live in misery. He himself hadn’t thought of Delia and Bebe at all.

Thinking of this, Linley couldn’t help but add, “Delia. I’m truly sorry.”

“No need to say that.” Delia smiled and shook her head. “It’s fine, I just wanted to take a slight break to feel better and I’ll be fine.”

“I want you to take a break too. But. It’s really dangerous.” Linley said eagerly.

“Linley. It’s really not dangerous.” Delia even said, “Actually, in the Green Dragon Clan. There are quite a few clansmen who often go to the nearest city, to take a look, to purchase items, it’s really not dangerous.”

“No danger?” Linley wondered

“Linley, you can go ask the elders if you don’t believe me.” Delia even said.

“Oh?” Linley nodded. “In that case, Delia, you stay here first, I’ll go ask the elders of the other lands, and if this isn’t dangerous. I’ll let you go.” Linley didn’t want his wife to be too dull either.

Linley was flying along the dragon path. In his mind, he was still constantly thinking about the conversation with Delia, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt sorry for Delia, and Bebe and the others, who had accompanied him to the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range.

But what was the result?

They could only stay in the Grand Canyon. He didn’t dare to go out at all, and this kind of life, similar to being in prison, was what he had given to Delia and Beibei?

Linley caught a glimpse of a person flying in the distance. It was an old acquaintance, ‘Elder Garvey’. He even shouted, “Elder Garvey.”

Elder Garvey turned his head in confusion. Immediately, he smiled and flew over, “Linley, what a coincidence.” Linley smiled, “Elder Garvey, I do have something important I want to ask you about, come. Let’s go to the side and talk.”

The two of them, Linley and Garvey, flew directly to the side of the ground halfway up the mountainside.

“Linley, what is it?” Garvey inquired suspiciously.

“Within our clan. There are often clansmen who set off for the city?” Linley inquired.

“Oh, there are indeed.” Garvey laughed. “For one thing, our clan needs to buy some things, and for another, many of the clansmen are always stuck in the Sky Ritual Mountain Range, and many of them can’t hold onto their bonds, so they want to go for a break, but there’s a limit to the number of people who can go out each time.”

“Is it dangerous?” Linley inquired.

“Nothing dangerous.” Garvey laughed, “In over ten thousand years, there hasn’t been a single incident.”

“Aren’t we fighting the eight great clans? How. There’s no danger of people from the clans going out?” Linley wondered.

“Linley. How big hell is. Do you think it’s that easy to come across? We fought the eight great clans. It’s with each other’s hearts. That’s why it’s easy to run into as it’s advancing on a fixed route and requires observation through intelligence officers.”

Linley nodded.

“And our clan. A group of people collectively traveling to the city on metal beings, that can’t be a fixed route.” Garvey said. “The heavens and earth are infinitely wide. One can walk at will. And on the way. The people of the eight great clans, even if they saw this metal life, wouldn’t know that it was our Green Dragon clan land.”

Linley understood somewhat.

“Most importantly. It’s impossible for them to line up seven star demon level experts. Running around outside at will. Even if there were intelligence officers that discovered the metal beings that the clansmen were traveling on, the metal beings quickly flew off into the distance, and since the route was not fixed, it was impossible for the other party to know where the metal beings flew off to.” Garvey laughed.

Linley secretly nodded.

This could be encountered by the other party. And the probability of recognizing it was literally one in a billion.

“The most important thing is that …… every time. Our clan goes out en masse, we’ll always be escorted by an elder.” Garvey laughed. “This is in case of accidents. Suppose it’s really bad luck. Billions of miles in range. And run into the other party’s Seven Star Demon. Then there’s only one battle to be had.”

Linley was relieved to hear that.

The probability of this encountering the ground was too low, an almost impossible thing, and even if he encountered …… his own side had a seven star demon expert guarding it.

“How. Do you have family and friends who want to go out for a break?” Garvey inquired.

“Right.” Linley suddenly remembered the limited number of people going out, “How many people can go out each time?”

“Up to five hundred people at a time.” Garvey nodded, “Don’t worry. You are an elder. It’s easy to arrange for some of your family and friends to go in. Moreover, if you’re really too worried. You can also escort them together, it would be odd for two elders to escort them and have problems.”

Linley’s eyes lit up.

Going with Delia and the others to wander around the city, Linley wanted to do the same: “Blood War Valley. The elders are taking turns receiving quests. I’m idle here.” Linley immediately flew to the Blood Battle Valley. Seeking an audience with the Grand Elder.

Inside the Green Dragon Hall. The Grand Elder stared at Linley through his masked eyes.

“What? You want to go out?” The Grand Elder said in a cold voice.

“Grand Elder. I’m going to accompany the family team. Make a trip to the city.” Linley said.

“Not for now.” The Grand Elder shook his head. “In recent times. We’ve been fighting the eight, great clans rather fiercely. I may arrange a mission for you at any time, Linley. Put the family first. After this thousand years. Exit the Blood Battle Valley and go out as much as you want.”

Linley was stunned.

He also knew that the fighting was intense. But after all, it had been two years since he had been scheduled for a mission. And a trip to the city. It would only be a few months.

“You’ll stay in the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range these days, and according to how the situation is developing, I’ll have a mission for you soon.” The Grand Elder said.

“Yes, Grand Elder.”

Linley hadn’t really wanted to go wandering around the city in the first place. The reason he went was also because he wanted to protect Delia even better.

“Billions of miles of wide area. And a seven-star demon would be bored wandering around and so coincidentally recognize that it was our family team? Could it even defeat my family’s elders?” Linley thought about it. He was still relieved.

The likelihood of something going wrong was almost zero!
