Episode 12 – The Descent of the Gods Chapter 21 – Soul Silk

“Boss Yale, you?”

At this moment, Yale’s cold gaze was like the cold knife stabbing into Linley’s chest. For so many years, the four brothers in the original dormitory 987 had always had a very good relationship, and even though in their teenage years, they would occasionally have some arguments, that wouldn’t hurt their feelings.

Linley had never thought that Yale would look at himself with such a gaze. It was as if looking at a stranger, at a dead person!

“En?”

Linley’s face suddenly changed drastically.

He had finally noticed the changes within his body, after that cup of wine entered his abdomen, that cup of wine actually contained strange light gray filaments, a large number of which quickly surged towards Linley’s brain region, quickly entering his mind.

A large number of pale gray filaments directly wrapped around the entire sea of souls and spiraled and penetrated!

“Buzz~~” Linley only felt a wave of dizziness in his head, his entire person couldn’t help but sway, falling towards the chair behind him, nay but hitting the chair, I see Linley’s entire person fall directly to the ground. And at this moment, Linley didn’t even notice, his attention was focused on his mind.

“Lord Linley.”

The maid not far away immediately shrieked.

Linley, in the eyes of those maidservants and guards of the Dragonblood Castle, was as high as a god. This one maid had never expected that the invincible Linley would fall to the ground as if an ordinary person was dizzy. And this maid’s shrieks I see, instantly drew the people outside over.

The first to be attracted over was Sessler.

Sessler rushed into the back garden, and when he saw this scene in front of him, his face instantly changed drastically, “Lord Linley.”

Sessler immediately rushed over to Linley’s side, but it was a fact that no one could help Linley at this time. Sessler immediately turned his head to look at Yale.

“It’s you!”

Sessler’s gaze chilled.

Yale, however, remained silent, not saying a word.

“Brother, brother.”

Walden and his group also ran over, stunned to see that Linley had unexpectedly fallen to the ground.

They wouldn’t have been scared if Linley had been slashed up. But Linley had fallen to the ground for no reason. It was impossible for them not to be scared and worried!

In Linley’s mind. Under the penetration of a large number of pale gray filaments, even though there was a pale cyan halo covering the soul ocean, it was ultimately pierced straight through by a large number of filaments, a large number of pale gray filaments piercing through the soul ocean and spiraling directly towards the soul in the center of the earth that had already metamorphosed into the shape of a sword and bound it over.

The sword-shaped soul was suspended in the depths of the soul ocean.

“Not good.”

Linley absolutely did not allow these bizarre filaments to attack his soul, immediately endeavoring to control his spiritual energy to hinder it.

The soul ocean instantly roared, a large amount of spiritual energy coming to oppress and dissipate those pale gray filaments. Reaching the Saint Magus realm, Linley’s spiritual energy was tempered once more, making it even easier to control. The pale gray filaments firmly pierced through the mass of spiritual energy. Rapidly approaching the sword-shaped soul.

It was just that during this piercing process, a lot of those massive fine filament energies were also worn down.

After losing a third of their energy, these pale gray filaments ended up wrapping around Linley’s soul. A large number of light gray filaments directly wrapped around the sword-shaped soul, Linley’s soul was like a turtle in a jar, and these filaments attempted to penetrate again. The soul was the most important thing. Once it was pierced by the filaments, I was afraid that it would be the end of his life. Linley knew that very well.

“Buzz~~” The green halo on the surface of the sword-shaped soul suddenly lit up like the sun, and those pale gray filaments quickly melted away like snowflakes. There was no longer a single light gray filament in the entire ocean of souls.

Only then did Linley let out a sigh of relief.

Opening his eyes.

“What are you guys doing?”

As soon as Linley opened his eyes. He couldn’t help but shout angrily.

At this moment, Yale was already curled up to the side, Yale’s body was covered in blood, only Yale was still moving, not dead yet. And Walton, Gates and a group of other people were beside him, especially his own son Tyler, who was still kicking at Yale.

“Pfft.”

Yale immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood.

“Brother (Lord Linley).”

Walton, Sessler, and the rest of the group heard Linley’s angry shout, but instead, they all looked over at me in surprise.

“Father!”

Taylor also dropped her head at this time, and her face, which was vaguely tear-stained, was already filled with surprise.

Up to the butler, Hilly. Down to Taylor’s children. Dozens of people in the Dragonblood Castle were gathered here. One by one, the gazes they looked at Yale were filled with resentment, and Linley’s awakening. It also caused a group of people to all relax in surprise.

“Father. Are you alright.”

Taylor immediately rushed to Linley’s side.

“You guys go to the side first.”

Linley, however, looked at Yale.

Linley was pretty sure that he had just been caught in a very scary underhanded trick, if it hadn’t been for the critical moment. That Dragonblood Warrior’s unique protective power had inexplicably risen greatly, it was really hard to say whether or not he had escaped this danger.

And all of this was caused by that bottle of so-called ‘good wine’ that Yale had brought with him.

“Cough, cough!”

Yale covered his mouth, but blood was still slowly flowing out of his mouth, it was obvious that just now, Taylor and the others were all furious, after all, Linley was their relative, and Taylor, Wharton and the others were furious with their hands.

If it wasn’t for Yale’s relationship with Linley, he would have been killed alive.

Seeing Yale’s appearance at the moment, Linley directly stretched his right hand over Yale’s shoulder, controlling the ‘life source bead’ within his body, a special force full of vitality immediately passed out from the life source bead in an unceasing stream, directly pouring into Yale’s body through his right hand.

Yale’s injuries recovered at a visible speed.

“Boss Yale, tell me why.”

Linley stared at Yale, his voice low.

Yale’s body was better and he wasn’t coughing anymore. He gave Linley a cold look, “No reason.”

After that, Yale said no more.

Linley’s heart went ice cold!

Life and death brothers ah!

When he had broken up with Alice, he had spent a total of eleven days and eleven nights under the ice and snow, but Yale, Reynolds, George, and the rest of them had been by his side all along, just because they were worried about him as a brother. He wanted to find King Finlay to take revenge, and Yale also helped himself with all his might when he knew about it.

He completely disregarded the fact that this might offend the Illuminati.

At one time, Linley thought that the brotherly love of the four of them. Would never change.

But seeing Yale’s indifference at this moment, Linley’s heart ached.

“Boss Yale, I’ll call you Boss Yale one more time, tell me why you’re doing this!”

Linley forced down the pain in his heart and stared at Yale. Was this still the same Yale Boss who had been cheeky back then, but who could go through fire for his brothers?

Yale glanced at Linley, “Do you need to ask more, it’s just to kill you.”

Yale spoke indifferently, very much as a matter of course.

Linley felt his heart twitch fiercely, a sharp pain permeated from the heart, the pain Linley trembled slightly, Linley had always cherished his feelings, whether it was for his wife’s land, for his son’s land, or for his good brother.

Linley had always believed. Feelings were his greatest treasure.

He also believed that his brothers wouldn’t turn their backs on him either, their feelings were unbreakable.

“How, how did this happen?”

Linley’s body trembled slightly, his eyes filled with incomprehension and pain!

Why had his good brothers betrayed him?

But looking at Yale’s cold expression at the moment, Linley really didn’t know what to say.

“Brother, this Yale wants to kill you, why are you still hesitating? This kind of person should be killed!”

Walden was however filled with rage at this moment. Especially after hearing Yale’s indifferent ‘it’s just to kill you’, he also felt unworthy of his big brother!

Linley took a deep breath to keep himself a little calmer.

“Boss Yale, this is the last time I call you Boss Yale.”

Linley looked at Yale, but his heart tingled, and his mind couldn’t help but conjure up a scene of the four brothers’ laughter from their teenage years.

“You go.”

Linley turned around and stopped looking at Yale.

Yale glanced at Linley, and surprisingly, also very dryly turned around and left directly.

“Brother.”

“Father.”

“Lord Linley!”

Walden, Taylor, Gates, Bute, and the rest of the group were all a little anxious, this Yale was about to kill Linley. Linley had let him go without doing the slightest bit of punishment.

“Remember. Don’t go making things difficult for Yale, after all, he was once my brother.”

Linley said the word ‘once’. The stabbing pain in his heart grew more intense, “Alright. All of you step back, I want to be alone.”

The group of people looked at each other, looking at Linley’s back, and finally, one by one, they retreated in turn.

There was only one person left in the entire back garden besides Linley – Sessler.

“Sessler.”

Linley didn’t turn around, “You too, retire.”

“Lord Linley, I wonder if you could recount to me what just happened inside your body, perhaps I could understand something.”

Sessler looked straight at Linley, his eyes firm.

“No.”

Linley said indifferently, “I don’t want to talk about this anymore.”

Linley was in a terrible mood right now.

“Lord Linley, tell me what happened inside you, and perhaps I can tell you the reason why Yale did what he did. It’s also possible that Yale isn’t to blame for what he did.”

Sessler said after a moment of deliberation.

Lin I watched as Ray jerked around and stared at Sessler, “What did you say?”

“I’m saying that it might not be Yale’s fault for doing this, it could be something else.”

Sessler said.

When Linley heard that, his heart was filled with hope, he really hoped that Yale had other reasons for his suffering, and just now he had pursued Yale because he wanted to know why. However, he didn’t see any pain or aggravation in Yale’s eyes, instead, he was cold.

This was what made Linley’s heart go cold.

“Fine, I’ll tell you.”

Immediately, Linley carefully recounted to Sessler what had happened within his body. Of course, the Dragonblood Warrior’s distinctive green-colored halo had risen greatly in the end, and Linley hadn’t drawn out the narrative. After all, to Sessler, what he really wanted to know was what had attacked Linley.

“Soul Silk?”

Sessler’s eyes lit up when he heard it, “It’s really similar to what I imagined.”

“What soul silk?”

Linley looked towards Sessler.

Sessler carefully recounted, “Lord Linley, I’ve always had a lot of doubts in my heart, and now I’m absolutely certain. I’ll tell you, this Soul Silk is actually a kind of undead magic, a kind of extremely vicious thing that specializes in attacking the soul, it’s just that it’s too difficult to refine, the conditions are rather harsh, and I haven’t refined it.”

“You’re saying that that wine contains soul silk?”

Linley pursued.

Sessler nodded and said, “Yes. After the soul silk is successfully refined, it needs to be stored in a special kind of liquid so that the soul silk can be preserved for a long time.”

“So the murderer behind this is someone who cultivates necromancy?”

Linley’s eyes lit up.

Sessler nodded and said, “Lord Linley, in fact, you told us that after you killed the two silver-robed men yesterday, that Purple and Gold Mouse King, Harry, said that the god-level powerhouse behind the silver-robed men knew that it was the two of you who had killed the silver-robed men. For that, I became puzzled.”

“Because, it’s a God-level powerhouse that can’t release their divine sense at all times, so if you guys suddenly killed the silver-robed man, how would the Earthly God-level powerhouse behind the silver-robed man know about it? Yet Harry is so certain that that God-level powerhouse knows. Then, in my knowledge, there is one possibility.”

“That would be the Soul Seed!”

Sessler said seriously, “Use your own earthly soul power to condense into a soul seed, and then plant the soul seed in someone else’s soul, then the other person, will be completely under their control. At the same time, between servants and masters, they can also communicate with their souls, so before those two silver-robed people died, they had already told that god-level powerhouse what both you and Farn looked like.”

Linley’s heart was shocked.

“Lord Linley, you said that there were nine silver-robed people, and it’s estimated that each of them had Saint realm limit strength. To be able to control nine Saint realm limit powerhouses in one breath, I think it should be a powerhouse who cultivates necromancy and has reached the divine level.”

Sessler affirmed, “Because an Undead Saint Demon Guide, definitely doesn’t have the ability to control so many Saint Domain Limit powerhouses. After all, the more powerful one is to control, the higher the requirements of this soul seed will be.”

“Moreover, my lord, you and Yale had a deep brotherly bond, yet he killed you so coldly, not caring in the slightest. He was also able to take out poisonous wine that contained soul threads there’s only one explanation for that, he was also controlled by that god level powerhouse, with a soul seed.”

Sessler looked at Linley: “Lord Linley, you should understand that Yale, after being controlled by a soul seed, the deepest part of his mind will put his master’s orders first, that is, if he is asked to commit suicide, if he is asked to kill his parents, he won’t have the slightest hesitation. He’s just a controlled puppet.”

Linley’s heart was both surprised and fearfully worried.

Worry for Yale!

“Yale he’s been controlled, then, then is there a way for him to return to normal?”

Linley was filled with endless worry for Yale.

“There is.”

Sessler nodded, “That is, kill that God-level powerhouse and the soul seed will naturally dissipate.”
