Episode 17: The House of Darkness Chapter 4: Arrested.
Leaving Vance City. Linley and the others immediately rushed towards the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range in their metal beings.
“The Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range, still in the northern region of the Yulan Prefecture’s territory. It’s far from Vance City. There’s a distance of nearly 200 million miles. To fly there, it’ll take most of the year.” Linley was in a more relaxed mood.
Knowing the location of the Four Divine Beasts family lands. Linley also understood somewhat, “Estimated. It’s here, too far away from the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range. That’s why that Boleyn clan dared to be so arrogant.” Linley guessed so.
“There’s still half a year left.” Bebe stretched and let out a long sigh. Spinning around, he looked towards Linley, “Hey, boss. How about we compete to see who fully comprehends the Fifth Arcane Mystery first?”
Linley was also cultivating this ‘power arcana’ to a late stage right now.
As for Bei Bei, the Fifth Arcanum of the Dark Laws. On the other hand, it had reached its limit state, and could be broken through once it had an epiphany. But this ‘epiphany’ was unattainable, who knew how long it would take Bebe?
Linley immediately meditated and cultivated.
In cultivation, time passed particularly quickly, Linley only woke up three times in the middle, and when he opened his eyes for the fourth time. There were only a few hundred thousand miles left from the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range, and he would soon arrive.
The front ends of the metal beings all became transparent, and Linley’s group of them could completely see through the transparent metal. Seeing ahead.
“The Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range! The Four Divine Beasts family!” Linley felt his breathing become a little unsteady. The blood in his body boiled. All the way from the Yulan Continent. It was finally time to return to his own land’s clan.
“See. Ahead is the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range.” Delia said in surprise.
Linley’s eyes glowed.
A mountain peak that towered like a cloud was like poking through the sky. The height of each peak was extremely astonishing, and the reason it could be named the ‘Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range’ was because many of the peaks in this Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range were extremely tall.
“That’s-”
Linley couldn’t help but have his eyes light up. He saw a huge flying bird with its wings spread out, its entire body ablaze with flames, and a mountain peak that was almost the same height, with fiery red feathers and a green plume on its forehead. That domineering aura. Linley and the others could all feel it.
“Such an enormous carving.” Linley couldn’t help but be startled, “It’s nearly a hundred miles high.” The highest peaks in this Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range were only tens of thousands of meters tall.
This giant carving was comparable in height to the highest mountain peaks.
It was only after reading that book half a year ago that Linley had gained an understanding of the Four Divine Beasts family and realized. It turned out that the four divine beasts were the ‘Green Dragon’, ‘White Tiger’, ‘Vermilion Bird’ and ‘Xuanwu’. Whether it was the Green Dragon, or the White Tiger, Linley could literally understand.
However. This Vermilion Bird and Xuanwu, Linley had never heard of them.
Carefully reading that book. Looking at some of the drawings in that book. Only then did Linley realize. This Vermillion Bird should be similar to the ‘Fire Phoenix’. But much stronger than the ‘fire phoenix’, a fire-attribute divine beast. And Xuanwu. It is also similar to the ‘Dragon Turtle’ which is a powerful Earth Attribute Divine Beast.
Even the Divine Beast ‘Green Dragon’ is not one of those two-winged dragons seen in the Yulan Continent. Nor was it the Tyrannosaurus Rex type of dragon. Instead, it was a true divine dragon with a perfect combination of dominance and nobility.
The strongest existence amongst the water-attribute divine beasts – the Green Dragon.
“The southern region of the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range. It should be the place of the Vermillion Bird clan.” Linley immediately took control of the metal being and flew in a northeastern direction.
Sure enough. In the eastern region of the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range land was the region of the Green Dragon clan.
“This ……”
In midair, he looked distantly at the scenery of the Green Dragon Clan’s ‘Redding Clan’ in the distance. Linley was dumbstruck, and even Delia, Bebe, Olivia, Tarosha, and the rest of them were too stunned to speak for a moment.
Only a huge dragon that snaked and circled, more than ten thousand miles long, was seen straddling the mountain range.
Of course it wasn’t a real dragon.
This giant dragon was hovering over an area of tens of thousands of miles. The body of the giant dragon building had dragon scales carved on it. It was also a passageway, and the entire passageway was suffused with a greenish-colored light, seen from afar. It was a terrifying green dragon of the earth!
“In the middle of hell, building a giant building tens of thousands of miles long. Incredible.” Tarosha marveled.
“You guys look closely. The entire body of the green dragon is a passageway, and there are tons of earthly castles and mansions around that passageway as well.” Di Lin also exclaimed.
Linley was simply completely immersed and shocked by the scene in front of him, a tens of thousands of miles long ‘dragon passage’ that hovered in the mountains. A castle and mansion surrounded this dragon road. This dragon road formed a perfect whole with countless castles and mansions.
In front of the dragon’s head. The most gigantic golden castle. It was like a dragon pearl.
“This sound alone. It far surpasses any family I’ve ever seen.” Linley was shocked in his heart.
The Four Divine Beasts family. Originally, they were the ones that had crossed the four supreme realms and the seven divine realms. Even if they had declined. But the glory of the family in the past would not be forgotten, and the construction of this family lair. Naturally, they had to pay attention to it.
Although they had already seen it, Linley and the others still flew for quite a while before arriving at the foot of the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range.
Linley was at the foot of the mountain, looking at the large number of soldiers in green armor patrolling and standing guard on the ‘Dragon Road’ in the distance, and for a moment, they also felt their hearts throb. At a glance, there were at least ten thousand of these soldiers.
But any of them that Linley saw. All of them were upper level gods!
“There are so many strong people!” Talosha marveled. “Worthy of being a Four Divine Beasts family, at least this number of Upper God warriors. It’s not in the least less than the Bagshaw family.”
“This is truly a powerful family.” Tilling also marveled.
At first, Salomon’s Boi family seemed good. But those clans, compared to the Bagshaw clan and the Four Divine Beasts clan, were nothing at all. If you look at the Bagshaw clan and the Four Divine Beasts clan, each and every one of the clan’s armies alone is an upper level deity. This is the Green Dragon clan!” Linley felt his blood surging, “My earthly roots!”
This dragon path that couldn’t be seen to the end at a glance. It gave Linley a familiar feeling, causing the blood in his body to resonate. It was as if. A wanderer returning home. That sense of belonging was very strong.
“Linley.” Delia held Linley’s hand.
Linley glanced back at Delia. The two couldn’t help but smile as they looked at each other, after nearly seven hundred years of trials and tribulations, when they had first entered Hell. Still just a lower god. By now, one could easily kill an ordinary upper god.
After traveling all the way, they finally arrived at the destination land.
The root of the Four Ultimate Warriors!
The legendary gathering place of the Four Divine Beast Families – the ‘Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range’ of the Yu Lan Province!
“What people!” A loud shout came from far above.
On that wide dragon path. Ten of the warriors who had originally patrolled the ground flew directly over, and the captain at the head of the group even chided, “This is my Green Dragon clan’s important land, so hurry up and leave.”
Linley smiled and greeted them, “Everyone. Me. A branch member of the Green Dragon clan, finally arrived here after coming to hell for so long.”
“Quickly, someone come and receive us.” Bebe grinned widely. “It’s been so long, it’s been hard work.”
“You’re a member of my Reading Family branch?” That captain looked at Linley suspiciously, “Kid. Member of my family branch. But they all came back a long time ago.” The rest of this patrol team didn’t quite believe it.
“You should know that my Green Dragon clan can be dragonized.” One of the patrolling warriors said.
Linley smiled.
“Snort~” instantly, green-golden dragon scales emerged from Linley’s body, and spikes sprouted from his forehead. Linley’s dark golden eyes stared at the captain. “Now. You believe it, don’t you?”
The members of that patrol team all laughed.
That captain was also full of smiles, “Indeed. Looking at the aura on your body, it seems that you still have a relatively pure family bloodline. But why are there spikes on your back? However, the scent can’t be wrong.”
When one was dragonized, one could easily tell if one was a member of the Green Dragon clan.
The dragon people among the orcs. And the dragonization of the Green Dragon clan. Were completely different, no matter the strength. Or breath difference is very big, just the appearance is more similar.
“Haha, brother. Hard work.” That captain immediately greeted him with a smile and said sincerely, “When our family retreated to the Great Realms, it was just too much of a rush. I guess you didn’t have time to come back with the large army at that time.”
That captain sighed.
“At that time, when our large troop came back, it was also miserable, my brother also died in battle back then.” The corner of the captain’s eyes had tears in them, “Let’s go. Go home! Go home. It will be safe.”
These two words ‘go home’ sent a shock through Linley.
“These friends of mine, they came with me.” Linley said.
“Them?” This captain frowned.
“What?” Linley said suspiciously.
That captain frowned, “These are your friends, and you’re going to live with them?”
“En.” Linley nodded, “They came all the way here with me in life and death, it’s better for them to live with me. What. Is it not okay?”
“It’s not impossible.” That captain thought for a moment, “Our clan is very strict in its management right now, if you’re alone. You can be treated very well, but if you want to bring them with you. Then you can only live in the most remote part of the Sky Ritual Mountain Range.”
“Remote is fine.” Linley even shook his head.
“That’s fine.” That captain nodded and then smiled. “Go. Come with me to register. Find out which branch you’re from. Feed, you guys also follow.” That captain greeted Tarosha, Bebe, and the others.
Immediately, Linley, a group of them, followed these ten patrolling warriors as they flew towards the inside.
“Brothers. My name is Isol, and I’m from the Fire God Realm retreating back. Which realm are you from? The bloodline is surprisingly so pure?” Walking on the road, that captain enthusiastically said.
“Yeah, which realm are you from?” The other patrolling warriors also smiled.
“Me. I’m from the Yulan Continent realm.” Linley said with a smile.
That captain’s expression instantly froze, as did the expressions of the other patrol warriors.
“Arrest!” This captain of Isole coldly droned. Instantly, the other nine patrol warriors flashed away like lightning. Directly surrounding Linley and his group directly, at the same time, quite a few of the patrol warriors on that ‘Dragon Road’ who had seen the commotion here also immediately flew over.
Linley and his group couldn’t help but be baffled.
“Feed, what’s going on?” Bebe even shouted.
Linley, on the other hand, looked at the captain, “Captain Isole, what’s going on? Why are you suddenly arresting me?”
Captain Isol said indifferently, “Sorry, brother! Although my Green Dragon ‘Redding Family’ is divided among the great realms. Those are all in the Supreme Plane and God Plane. I’ve never heard of it. It’s in the Yulan continent realm.”
“Could it be that I’m not of the Green Dragon clan?” Linley asked rhetorically.
“You are, that I’m certain of.” Isole nodded.
“But. If you can’t be completely sure of your origin. Which branch you belong to, you’re not entirely trustworthy.” Captain Isol said indifferently, “There are some members that have been scattered since childhood. Adopted by other clans, the other clans cultivate them and then let them come back and plant them. Becoming spies! This has happened more than once.”
For these ten thousand years. The Green Dragon clan was very careful because …… had suffered too many losses.
“You suspect me of being a spy?” Linley was incredulous.
“Captain Isol, if I were a spy. I wouldn’t have said that I was from the Yulan continent realm. I would have made up a perfect identity background.” Linley even said.
The Dilly Dummy also spoke, “Captain Isol, you haven’t heard that there is this branch of the Yulan continental realm. But the rest of your family doesn’t necessarily not know about it, so go check it out before you say anything.”
“Hmph. What branch vein is there that I don’t know about?” Captain Isol was confident.
“What’s going on here?” A bellowing voice rang out from above, and a light gray robed middle-aged man flew over.
As soon as Captain Isole saw the person. Even respectfully said, “My lord, there is a person here who says he is from our Green Dragon clan. Indeed, he has the bloodline of the Green Dragon Clan, however, he said that he is a branch of the Yulan Continent realm, I have never heard of it. Our clan, there is also the Yulan Continent Realm Branch Earth.”
“Oh?” That middle-aged man looked at Linley and the others in astonishment.
“Yulan continent dimensional branch land?” The middle-aged man looked at them. “Which one of you is?”
“Me.” Linley stepped forward.
The middle-aged man smiled, “Yes, we, the Green Dragon Clan, do indeed have a Yulan Continent realm branch.”
Then Captain Isol. As well as the other soldiers were amazed.
“That was six thousand years ago, not many people know about it.” That middle-aged man smiled lightly, “That branch of theirs, they also claimed to be the Baruch family land. It’s very peculiar. I don’t know which ancestor left a branch there.”
