Episode 17 – The Blue House Chapter 40 – Betrayal
In the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range, underneath the castle where Vulkan resided, there was a dimly lit underground hall.
The hall was cold, and at the moment, there was only one person inside, Vulkan. Vulkan sat on the main seat on top of the hall like a hibernating monster, his eyes flickering with a vague light in the darkness, not knowing what he was thinking about.
“Tell the eight great families?” Although Fulham wanted Linley to die and for the people of the Eight Great Families to do it, it was only a fleeting thought. But when he thought about it carefully, he hesitated.
Because in order to let the people of the Eight Great Families know, one would inevitably have to go and notify.
And to notify the people of the eight great families, one must not let another person do it, nor let others know about it. Because this was considered a great sin of betraying the family! As an elder, Vulkan had the certainty that he could easily pass the news to the eight great families. It was fine if this matter wasn’t exposed, but once it was exposed, he, Vulkan, would have no place to stay in the Four Divine Beasts Clan!
“Those who rebel against the clan, all detachments will be executed.” Vulkan clearly remembered this punishment.
“Is it worth it to take such a huge risk just to get back at Linley?” Vulkan wanted to go for it again, but hesitated.
There was no doubt that Vulkan was proud to be a disciple of the Four Divine Beasts clan, and he wouldn’t betray the clan. But then he wanted to kill Linley afterward!
“This Ring of the Green Dragon belongs to the old ancestor! What generation of junior does this Linley count as, and by what right does he get it?” Vulkan’s gaze was cold, and his jealousy and narrow-mindedness made Vulkan look at Linley more and more unfavorably.
“If I continue to let Linley go on like this, one day, he’ll go over my head.” Fulhan still clearly remembered the conversation he had with his own mother, the Grand Elder.
That time, the Four Great Patriarchs had ordered that Linley no longer needed to go to the Valley of Blood Battles to take on quests. With doubts in his heart, Vulkan went to the Grand Elder alone afterward and carefully asked the Grand Elder. Why the clan leaders had decided this.
The Great Elder didn’t want to say anything about the Violet Bauhinia Sovereign God, so he told Vulkan this: ”Vulkan, do you know that this Linley is only a Mediate God right now! A Mediate God has the strength of a seven star demon. When he reaches the level of an Elder God, how strong do you think he’ll be? He’s the future hope of our family, it’s not appropriate to risk him now!” When the Grand Elder spoke in such a manner, Vulkan was stunned when he heard it.
He had always thought that Linley was hiding his strength, but he hadn’t realized that this Linley was actually a Mediate God.
Inside the cold underground hall.
Vulkan stood up horribly, his gaze grim. In a low voice, he said, ”This Linley is now a seven star demon, if this continues and he becomes an upper god, he will definitely become the family’s trump card. The status is higher than even, standing above me! Could it be that I, in the future, will have to spend my entire life watching him be arrogant in front of me?”
As soon as Fulham imagined Linley calling the shots in the family in the future, his face grew more and more ugly!
“No!” Fulhan growled in a low voice, “Absolutely not, I’ll be under him for the rest of my life. Might as well kill me.”
“Linley, he must die. Must!”
Vulkan’s body was vaguely trembling, “Right, I’m just letting Linley die, it’s not like the clan is finished. It doesn’t count as betraying the family, it doesn’t count! Furthermore, it’s not like I’m killing him myself, I’m just letting the people of the eight great families do it. This Linley is also considered to have died fighting the people of the eight great families!”
“That green dragon ring ……”
Vulkan couldn’t help but frown, “If Linley died, wouldn’t the Ring of the Green Dragon fall into the hands of the Eight Great Families?” Vulkan was also a little anxious. The Ring of the Green Dragon was, after all, a family treasure.
“No, it’s fine. The place that was killed was only Linley’s strongest divine doppelganger, all the other bodies are still in the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range. Even if the eight great clans obtained the Green Dragon’s Ring, they wouldn’t be able to recognize it.” Vulkan convinced himself, “We’ll take it back when we have the chance in the future. Not to mention the death of a Linley. It has no effect on the family either. Our Four Divine Beasts clan was already at a disadvantage …… Big deal, we’ll just stay in the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range. It won’t be exterminated.”
Vulkan went through intense thought. Finally figured it out.
“A clan with Linley, even if it’s strong, I can’t stay. A clan without Linley, even if it’s weaker. I’m also comfortable.” The corners of Vulkan’s mouth turned up slightly, he had already made up his mind.
“Whew!” Vulkan’s cloak lifted and he walked out of the underground hall with large strides, at this moment, he already had a decision in his mind.
A silhouette formed out of thin air in the mountains and forests. It was none other than Vulkan. However, this was only one of Vulkan’s divine doppelgangers. Only a low laugh was seen from Vulkan. His entire appearance changed, from a blonde old man. It turned into a bald young man.
Immediately, the bald youth-like Fulhan directly flew away at breakneck speed. ……
“Clattering river water waves, bald youth molded Vulkan suspended in the river high altitude, gaze coldly swept to the bottom, low said:” eight big families, quickly come out.”
On the fixed line, those who were generally hidden were either the Four Divine Beasts family intelligence personnel or the Eight Great Families intelligence personnel. Vulkan was able to clearly identify his own family members. If it wasn’t the Four Divine Beasts family, it was naturally the other side!
“Who are you?” A low voice came from beneath the river.
“Remember, Elder Lin Lei of the Green Dragon Clan has already traveled to Mil City in a green phoenix-shaped metal being. If you want to kill him, seize the opportunity. There’s also an elder traveling with him!” Although he left in a black phoenix shape, Elder Vulkan was aware that every time he went out, that metal being would change its color shape. Previously, Vulkan had already checked it out.
This time, after going out, it changed into a green colored phoenix.
At the same time, Vulkan waved his hand and a crystal ball fell down from the sky.
“Inside this crystal ball, the image likenesses of Linley’s wife Delia and good friend Bebe are stored.”
Just as the crystal ball landed on the surface of the water, a green-colored air current swept up, wrapping and dragging the crystal ball into the watery ground. Seeing this scene, Vulkan smiled coldly, and with a movement of his body, he flew back at great speed.
Only after Vulkan had left for a long time did a green-haired silhouette emerge from the river.
“Elder Linley of the Green Dragon Clan?” A look of disbelief appeared in this intelligence officer’s eyes, “I didn’t expect that I would be able to make such a great achievement.” The eight great clans had long ago ordered to go all out to kill Linley, and naturally, they had also ordered their intelligence officers to observe carefully.
But after so many years, no one had ever succeeded.
The transmission of news from the intelligence department was very fast, and the eight great families knew about this news on the same day, which instantly caused the patriarchs of the eight great families to become agitated. Who did not expect, this news came so suddenly.
After discussion, the final task, handed over to the Edric family and other four major families to complete.
After all, the eight great families. Split between the two major borders of the Yulan Province. Among the four major families on the western border, they were the Edric family that had relocated from the Supreme Plane of Life, the Wenner family that had come over from the Wind God Plane, the Dern family that had come over from the Earth God Plane, and the hellish native Raynarth family.
On the western border of the Phantom Blue House, the heads of the four great families, including Edric, were gathered together. Beneath the great hall, there stood eight gray-robed men.
“This Linley, although he’s merely a Medium God. However, he is sufficiently powerful as a seven-star demon, and in just a few strikes, he has already caused our eight great clans to lose several seven-star demons.” A light and gentle voice rang out from the mouth of a handsome elf-looking man atop the great hall.
With green hair that reached the bend of his legs and eyes as bright as stars, this was the patriarch of the Edric family from the highest plane of life, Edric himself. It was he who had founded this family.
“Right now, he’s not a big threat, but if some more years pass. Wait until the Upper God Realm. That would be bad.”
“Therefore, the eight of you, at all costs, make sure that Linley is killed.” The voice was as gentle as ever.
“Yes, Matriarch.” Below the great hall, two handsome gray-robed men bowed, and the other six gray-robed men even bowed.
Above the great hall, the other patriarch indifferently said, “There are three drops of the Lord God’s power here, and of the eight of you, Elder Chabu, who is the strongest, naturally has to carry one drop. As for the other two drops, the two of you, Elders Nice and Tempe, carry them.”
“Yes!”
Immediately, three people bowed and saluted, and one of these three was then an Elf Clan member.
“Remember, this operation must succeed, even if we consume these three drops of the Lord God’s power, even if all eight of you die. You must also kill Linley!” Another resounding voice rang out.
“Yes!”
The eight elders below also felt their hearts sink.
Although they knew that the target of this mission, Linley, was only a seven star demon. There was also only one Seven Star Demon beside him. With the strength of the eight of them, there wouldn’t be any problems killing Linley. However, listening to the tone of the patriarchs. They still felt the pressure.
“Go! Speed up and arrive at Mil City early.” The gentle voice said.
The eight gray-robed elders bowed slightly and left in a line.
The four patriarchs in the great hall were however talking to each other, “This time, such a good opportunity, we must not fail. Only after killing this Linley will we be able to feel slightly more at ease. I don’t believe that this Four Divine Beast Clan will ever come up with another genius who has hopes of becoming a Great Perfection Upper God.”
“Don’t worry. The eight Elders on the ground this time. But they’re the elites chosen by our four great clans. This Linley, will surely die!”
“Eight Elders. Plus three drops of Lord God power. It’s me against them, and I wouldn’t dare to resist.”
The cyan phoenix-like metal being was flying in the sky, and within this cyan phoenix metal being, Linley and Delia were sitting in front of the window holding hands, looking at the outside scenery through the transparent metal.
“After flying for so long, it’s time to arrive at Mil City.” Linley said with a smile.
Delia looked out the window, carefully recognizing it, “I came here last time, if I haven’t seen it …… in another half an hour I’ll be arriving in Mil City.” With that, Delia glanced at Linley and said helplessly, “That Elder Twila is really careful, insisting that you change your appearance.”
Linley had deliberately grown a beard on his face at the moment, and even his height had gotten a bit shorter.
Linley smiled, “You guys are fine, like us elders, the general enemy will have a clear image of us and know what we look like …… Although it is said that the probability of running into it is very low. But it’s also just in case.”
“What, looking at me in this mold and feeling awkward?” Linley asked with a smile.
Delia shook her head, then closed her eyes, “I can feel your breath even if I close my eyes. How could I feel awkward?”
Linley laughed.
On the road, Linley and Delia enjoyed a quiet world of two. Soon, Linley and Delia saw an ancient city in the distance, only to see an endless stream of people at the entrance to the city.
“Wow, we’re finally here!” Bebe was the first to leap up, charging directly towards the front.
Linley and Delia also stood up together, walking out of the metal life along with the clansmen. Along with Elder Twila, they headed towards the gates of Mill City. Because Linley was also a demon. At the very least, there was no need to line up to pay the entry fee.
“I haven’t seen Tarosha, Tirin, and the others in so many years.” Linley smiled as he stepped into the city.
However, he didn’t realize that there were people not far from the city gates who were constantly watching the gates. Especially with the landing of the Green Dragon Clan’s metal beings, it also caused those people to become agitated.
“The Green Dragon clan metal beings have arrived, have you found Linley?”
“We haven’t here.”
“We don’t see it here either!”
“I didn’t see Linley, however, I saw that man called Delia and Bebe Land. The man next to them, who appears to be a Mediate God, should be Linley!”
“An intermediate god? That should be correct!”
The intelligence officers of the eight great clans were exchanging divine senses with each other as they had already locked onto Linley’s people.
The metal beings of the Green Dragon Clan were flying an uncertain path, and the eight great family intelligence officers couldn’t look for them halfway, so they could only stand guard at the gates of Mil City, after all, Linley and the others were definitely going to come to Mil City.
Entering the city now, they couldn’t make a move.
When Linley came out again and returned to the Four Divine Beasts family, the Eight Great Families would be able to make their move.
