Episode 12: The Descent of the Gods Chapter 16: Five Years
The Baruch Empire’s war against the Roao Empire came to a standstill.
“Father what exactly do you guys think we should do now?” In the hall of the Dragonblood Castle grounds. A group of people including Sydney, Walden, Gates, Hillman, and Nina were gathered here. Discussing about the matter concerning the two Saint Domain powerhouses that suddenly appeared in the Roao Empire.
Walton, Sessler, Gates and their group of people had also finished listening to Sidney’s narration.
They were all extremely shocked in their hearts.
“This Luo Ao Empire, when did two such powerful Saint Domain experts emerge?” Hillman frowned.
Hillman practiced the top-tier Fighting Qi Tantra. Nowadays, he had also reached the eighth level of warrior. Although his strength was far ahead of Walden and Gates. However, Hillman’s status in the Dragonblood Castle was very high.
“Father, a few uncles. Are you guys sure about dealing with them?” Sidney looked at Walton, Gates and the few of them.
Wharton mused, “Although we don’t have a high level of law comprehension, we have divine weapons. And we are Ultimate Warriors. If we really go up against those two Saint Realm powerhouses, we should be able to win.”
Gates, Anke, and the others nodded their heads as well.
Sessler let out a low laugh, “Walden, you guys still want to fight someone else?” “What?” Walden looked at Sessler.
“Sessler, you don’t think so?” Gates, Anke, and the others all looked at Sessler.
Sessler smiled audibly. It was just that Sessler’s smile always seemed grim, “First of all, I would like to ask a few of you. If it’s one of you, facing the Holy Realm Golden Dragon and Holy Realm Tyrannosaurus Rex, would you be able to easily defeat these two Holy Realm Magical Beasts?”
“This ……” Walton, Gates, and the others were a bit hesitant.
Against a Saint Domain Magical Beast. They should all be relatively easy.
However, dealing with two at the same time, it would be good to be able to do so without being on par with each other.
“Hmph. Going without certainty?” Sessler laughed disdainfully. “Could it be that you guys have forgotten what Lord Linley said before his seclusion?” Walden and the others stuttered.
They all recalled.
Linley had instructed mid-focus at the time. If they encountered some situation, Walden and the others were absolutely not allowed to try to show off, and Linley had also said that this war was hiding a huge crisis, which was why Linley was uneasy.
“Lord Linley said at the time that this war was lurking with a terrifyingly terrifying crisis that even God-level powerhouses wouldn’t dare to take lightly.”
Sessler looked at Walden and the others. “It’s not that you guys don’t understand. What exactly is the crisis of this war that seems to have a long-destined ending? Now, get it.”
Before the war began, even Linley didn’t know what the crisis was.
It was only because Lord Beirut had reminded him. It was only because Linley felt uneasy that he had told Walden and the others so.
Walden and the others didn’t understand either, and they also thought that there shouldn’t be any accidents in this war.
“Mr. Sessler, what do you mean?” Sidney frowned, and Wharton, Gates, and the rest of their group were a little dark. Surprised.
“You guys don’t even think about it. There are only so many Saint Domain powerhouses in the Yulan Continent. Even if there are some powerhouses in latent cultivation, Lord Linley, Lord Desiree and the others should always know about it, right? But they all said that there aren’t many top Saint realm powerhouses in the Luo Ao Empire, but now these two Saint realm powerhouses. Where did they come from?” Sessler said.
“Came out of nowhere. It also brought the battle to a stalemate.”
Sessler smiled coldly, “It’s obvious that the crisis lurking in this war has gradually bubbled up.”
“We are now ……”
Walden also looked towards Sessler, remembering Linley’s instructions to let the experienced Sessler confer when he encountered something important.
Sessler said blandly, “It’s simple. Don’t rush to deal with those two Saint realm powerhouses, Lord Linley also said. This war. We don’t necessarily need to completely conquer the other empires, it’s fine to occupy less territory, the important thing is. Protect ourselves.”
Everyone nodded slightly.
Walton mused, “Alright, let’s see first. What exactly is lurking in this war.”
“If we encounter a big crisis, everyone shouldn’t try to be brave. It’s better to go ask Lord Linley.” Sessler said. “Of course, it’s only half a year since the lord has been practicing. And the situation isn’t too serious right now. We don’t need to bother Lord Linley right now.”
……
Time flowed like water, and in the blink of an eye, it had been more than five years since Linley had gone into seclusion.
During these five years. The Yulan Continent had been extremely chaotic, regardless of whether it was the Baruch Empire, the Yulan Empire, or the O’Brien Empire. In the war, the Holy Alliance, the Dark Alliance have appeared some mysterious strong people.
These mysterious strongmen are extremely powerful.
War. The war has come to a stalemate.
The winter of 10039 in the Yulan Calendar. The early morning of the deep winter was very cold, three middle-aged men wearing thick robes rode their steeds side by side, quickly traveling on the deserted official road, quickly rushing towards a city in the distance.
“Haha. Ahead is Blue Lion City. Wait until we reach Blue Lion City. We brothers, three brothers. We can have a good drink. Warm up our bodies.”
A burly man at the head said with a big smile. They had negotiated a deal this time. Naturally, they were in an extremely good mood.
Ahead. The walls of Blue Lion City could already be seen.
After traveling on horseback for a while.
“Huh, strange. Why is it so quiet?” The three brothers traveled to the entrance of Blue Lion City, but found that the gates of Blue Lion City were wide open, but there was no one there.
“Although this Blue Lion City is not considered to be a big city, but it is also considered to be relatively prosperous ah, there is a population of 100,000 people, how come early in the morning, there is not a single silhouette?” The three brothers all dismounted. Leading the horses towards the Blue Lion City, they were puzzled.
Wide streets. But not a single silhouette.
Silence! It was also seven or eight o’clock in the morning. Logically the streets should be bustling.
“The hell with this.”
These three middle-aged men who run around the country can’t help but tremble at the bottom of their hearts.
The eerie scene. It made them feel a hint of something unusual.
“Look what’s in front of you!” One of them pointed ahead in shock, not far away, two people were lying on the street. These three middle-aged men immediately ran towards the front, wanting to take a closer look.
But get close enough to take a look.
“Dead people!” These three middle-aged men’s faces changed. The two people lying on the ground were bleeding from seven holes. Blood stained the ground red. Leaving behind a large spread of shocking dark purple color.
The cold wind blowing in the dead of winter made the three middle-aged men shiver.
“Ah~” Only a horrified cry could be heard coming from the distance.
The three middle-aged men immediately turned their heads to look, only to see a cloaked woman running out from the distance. This woman was running in terror.
“What are you running for? What the hell happened?” The middle-aged man in the lead immediately drank, they had traveled far and wide and had seen dead people often. It wasn’t enough to make them afraid. What trembled in their hearts was the quiet to the extreme environment at this moment.
“Dead, all dead, all dead.”
The woman looked at the three middle-aged men. Her eyes were wide open.
“What all dead?” Those three middle-aged men all had a trace of panic in their hearts.
“The entire city, all dead. Everyone is dead, dead!” The woman spoke in a somewhat nervous manner.
The three middle-aged men were instantly stunned.
The entire city. Dead out? “All dead, all dead ah.”
The woman nervously ran around randomly.
Blue Lion City was in one night. Nearly 100,000 people in the entire city. Only dozens of them survived, the rest were all dead, and most of those dozens of survivors waited until the first light of day and opened the city gates in terror. Fleeing this terrible city.
The City of the Dead! This one thing. It spread to the imperial capital at the fastest speed, to His Majesty Sini.
The enraged Sydney. Immediately sent people to investigate carefully, to find out why Blue Lion City would turn into a dead city overnight. At the same time, he also asked the dozens of people who survived what had happened.
When the results were found, Sydney, who felt that things were not good, immediately rushed to the Dragon Blood Castle.
In the Dragon Blood Castle.
A large number of people in the castle gathered together, not only Walton, Gates and their group of people, even Nina, Rebecca, Lina and their group were here, everyone felt that things were tricky, a group of people together, discussing exactly how to solve this matter.
“The situation is weird. The nearly 100,000 people who died in the entire city land were all bleeding from seven holes without a single wound on their bodies. From weak children, to the most powerful level seven warriors, they are all the same.”
Sinisu said.
In just one night, a city was dying of people and in such a strange manner.
It was Walton, a group of Saint Domain powerhouses, who felt a chill.
“As far as I know. A city’s land is nearly dead. This is not the first time this has happened.”
Sydney said seriously.
“Oh?” Walden and the others looked at Sydney.
Sidney continued, “As far as I know. About a month or so ago, the same thing happened within the O’Brien Empire, overnight. Almost everyone in a city died, because it wasn’t within our empire. I didn’t pay too much attention to it.”
That butler, Hiri, frowned and said, “This thing is weird. For example, this Blue Lion City has nearly 100,000 people. This thing happened. Why are there still dozens of people surviving?” “Right. Why are there still people surviving?” Sessler agreed that this was something to wonder about.
If it was some super strong person. Killing people with a certain unknown forbidden magic, it should be that everyone within the range of the magic died, even if there were survivors. Even if there were survivors, they should be super strong. But the people who survived were all just ordinary people.
“And there’s no damage at all to the buildings and such.”
Sydney continued.
In the hall, a large group of people were puzzled.
“I’ve sent people to check. Can’t find a clue at all.”
Sidney was also troubled, “By the way. The dozens of people who survived have one thing in common.”
At once, a group of people in the hall looked at Sidney.
“The surviving dozens of people were all in places that were harder to access at the time, such as among these surviving dozens of people. Half of them were in the Blue Lion City’s strictest prison, and the others were in the basement or other hard-to-access places at that time.”
Sydney recounted.
“Hard to access and they didn’t die?” Sessler nodded, “Perhaps, it wasn’t casting a magical attack, after all, magic that covers a city doesn’t care if a person’s hiding place is hard to access.”
“I suggest. Let’s go invite Lord Linley.”
Sessler sighed.
“Lord Linley?” Walden and the others’ eyes lit up.
If Linley was there, it would be as if they had a backbone. They wouldn’t panic when things happened.
“Yes. In these five years or so, there have been too many things that have happened, such as the war reaching a stalemate, such as the mysterious religion that has surprisingly appeared within our empire. For example, this time, the Dead City incident ……”
Sessler said under his breath.
“I agree to go and invite big brother.”
Warden nodded his head as well.
Lina also had a smile on her face at the moment, “Big brother Lei, he’ll come out, things can definitely be solved easily, big brother Lei, he’s been in seclusion for more than five years now, I don’t know what realm big brother Lei has reached now.”
At the mention of Linley, a smile appeared on the faces of a group of powerful people in the hall.
Finally the three people in the group, Walden, Gates, and Sessler, came to the entrance of the secret chamber of the underground dimension as their representatives.
“You guys wait here for me.”
A layer of fighting aura escaped from Walton’s body surface. And then he directly stepped into the miniature dimensional chamber.
In just a moment.
“Snort~” As the airflow impacted in that door. Linley, wearing a set of sky-blue robes and his hair becoming extremely long and flowing, walked out along with Walden. Sessler, Gates, and the others saw Linley. All felt their hearts settle.
“Gates, Sessler, what exactly happened? Looking for me in such a hurry?” Linley spoke with a smile.
