Episode 17: The House of Ghostly Blue Chapter 14: The Battle of the Covenant
Linley crashed into the corridor outside, the corners of his mouth covered in blood.
Immediately, his feet violently stomped on the ground. Turning into a stream of light. Then he flew towards the great hall. Linley laughed coldly in his heart. “This Emanuel. Still wants to kill me? But there’s no rush to expose your strength until it’s necessary.” Linley shouted under his breath as he ran away, “Elder Garvey help!”
The door to the chamber burst open. As well as Linley’s loud voice, how could the hearing of an Elder God not hear it?
“Hoo!” “Hoo!” ……
Only to see several silhouettes flying over at great speed in the distance. The leader was none other than the handsome young man ‘Gavi’.
“Don’t try to escape!” A furious shout rang out. Emanuel’s figure chased after Linley like a sharp arrow.
Linley saw Garvey as well as several black-robed men. Even scurried behind them. Only then did he even say, ”Elder Garvey. Elder Emanuel wants to kill me!” Once Garvey heard this, that handsome face was also filled with anger.
“Emanuel. What are you doing!” Garvey shouted.
The balding Emanuel stopped. Looking angrily at Linley. Then he looked at Garvey, “Garvey, get out of the way.”
“Linley, he’s from our clan. Why are you killing him.” Garvey was disgruntled. “Originally. You want to talk to Linley alone. It’s to kill him.”
“No.”
Emanuel even said, Emanuel knew that things were a bit troublesome when he saw Garvey appear, this was the scene he was most worried about, but he was also shocked, “I just slapped my palm. Surprisingly, it didn’t kill this Linley. The main divine artifact is really powerful. Preserving your life is just useful.”
Linley’s mouth was covered in blood at the moment. His face was pale.
Emanuel. Thinking that he hadn’t killed Linley with his slap was because the Ring of the Coiled Dragon was working.
He didn’t know that ……
The blood at the corners of Linley’s mouth and his pale face. They were all deliberately faked by Linley.
“Just that one palm. With my ground defense. It can’t hurt me at all.” Linley snorted in his heart, “Still, there’s no rush to display my strength now.” Coming to the Four Divine Beasts clan. Linley had then made the decision to quietly accompany his loved ones first, and wait until he had cultivated to an upper god before going to kill.
Moreover, when he waited until he was an upper level god, he would play a much bigger role.
One couldn’t expose one’s strength now. Once it was exposed, the days of tranquility would probably be gone.
“Linley tell me, what’s going on?” Garvey looked towards Linley.
“Elder Garvey, I didn’t mess with Elder Emanuel at all. But he’s trying to kill me for no reason.” Linley said. This matter of the Ring of the Coiled Dragon. It absolutely couldn’t be exposed, and at this moment, Linley had also changed the appearance of the Ring of the Coiled Dragon.
Even divine artifacts could transform. A master divine artifact could naturally transform as well.
Linley regretted. In the past, he hadn’t transformed this Ring of the Coiled Dragon, firstly, no one had ever noticed it and his guard had been relaxed. Secondly, his strength had increased. With confidence, who would have thought that he would encounter such a situation.
“Emanuel?” Garvey looked to him.
“Garvey. Do you believe me or him?” Emanuel’s anger rose, his face all extremely ugly, “This Linley. Offended me. Today, I must kill him. Garvey. You get out of the way.”
Those black-robed men in the corridor were astonished, this Emanuel was too out of sorts.
“Emanuel!” Garvey coldly shouted, “This is the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range! There can be rules within the clan. No wanton killing. What are you doing.”
“Elder Emanuel. I am also curious to know. Why are you trying to kill me.” Linley stared at Emanuel and said.
“Yeah, why did you kill him?” Garvey looked at him as well.
Emanuel stared angrily at Linley. His eyes wanted to burst into flames. He was furious. Angry that this Linley didn’t know how to behave, “I’ve offered a drop of the power of the Lord God. He’s still not willing. He’s forcing me.” Emanuel had a decision in his heart.
“Elder Emanuel. Why so angry? It seems like I’m the one who should be angry.” Linley sneered. “Big deal. We’re fish dead!”
Emanuel’s heart skipped a beat.
What was he most worried about right now?
It wasn’t Garvey and the others getting involved. It was the fear that Linley himself would publicize the matter of the Green Dragon’s Ring. Once it was publicized …… even if the family really confiscated it. It was also impossible for him, Emanuel, to get it.
“Good. Linley.” Emanuel snorted. “You’re ruthless.”
“I’m ruthless, you’re the one who pushed too hard.” Linley echoed.
Next to him, Garvey. There were other black-robed people who were confused. None of them knew what Linley and Emanuel were talking about.
“Elder Emanuel, I, a junior. Sending you a message!” Linley eyed Emanuel. There was a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth. “Sometimes, don’t be too greedy, greed can be very deadly. What’s yours is yours, what’s not yours. It will never be yours.”
Emanuel laughed angrily.
“Boy. This sentence I return to you.” Emanuel said angrily. “Don’t be too greedy, greed can kill you!”
“Oh? Lose your life?” Linley laughed. “Venerable elder, you’re a powerful seven-star demon. I’m just a Mediate God, I admit that I’m not as strong as you, it’s not hard for you to get me killed, but you can’t be too bullying.”
“What the hell are you guys talking about!” Garvey said angrily.
“Immanuel.” Garvey said evenly, “If Linley really has gone too far. You’ll directly narrate it to the Elder Council, and the Elder Council will punish Linley for it.”
Emanuel took a deep breath and slowly said, “Linley. I cannot tolerate your offense. Here, I propose a life and death battle to you!”
“A battle to the death?”
Garvey, as well as the black-robed men in the corridor, were shocked. Garvey looked at Emanuel in horror as his divine sense transmitted, “Emanuel. What are you doing? Isn’t it just a Mediate God, if you really want to kill him. Go up to the Feast Elders, why bother fighting to the death?”
How did Garvey know that Emanuel was trying to personally kill Linley and capture the Ring of the Green Dragon?
Those black-robed men all looked at Linley with a hint of pity in their eyes.
“May I ask, what is a life and death battle?” Linley’s voice rang out.
Immediately, Elder Garvey, as well as the others, were staggered. This Linley actually didn’t know about life and death battles.
Garvey let out a dark sigh, feeling pathetic for Linley. Still, he said, ”Linley, there are many people in the clan, so many people together. It’s impossible to not have a little bit of conflict with each other, and when the conflict reaches the extreme point of immortality, it can’t be regulated. When the conflict reaches an extreme point where it’s immortal, it can’t be regulated, even if the family rules. No clansmen are allowed to kill each other, but the feud is so great that it’s useless for the clan to regulate it.”
“At this time. There can only be a ‘life and death battle’!”
Garvey said with a straight face, “Life and death battle. It is the most brutal battle within my clan. Both parties involved in the battle will not end until one party is dead. Of course, joining the winning side spares the other side’s life. It is also possible, but generally participate in the battle of life and death. Each other is immortal.”
Linley heard this with a sudden realization in his heart.
He couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger: “This Emanuel, he really doesn’t give me the slightest bit of leeway anymore.”
“Is it possible that he challenged and I have to accept?” Linley asked.
“You can refuse.” Garvey said, “However, even if you refuse, the other party will make an application to the Elder Corps, and once the Elder Corps passes it, even if you refuse …… you must participate in the life and death battle.”
“Haha ……,” Linley laughed. “Elder Corps?”
This Emanuel was a member of the Elder Corps. Emanuel had applied for a life and death battle. Would it not pass?
“Linley. It’s not too late to regret.” Emanuel sneered, “My conditions remain the same. I will spare your life.” Emanuel’s conditions. It was to exchange a drop of the power of the Lord God for the Ring of the Coiled Dragon.
Linley looked at him, just looking at him indifferently.
“It’s not too late for me to regret this?” Linley had a sneering smile on his face.
“Right.” Emanuel nodded.
“Emanuel, I’m telling you.” Linley snorted. “This life and death battle, I refuse!”
“It’s useless to refuse.” Emanuel said.
Linley snorted, “I refuse now. As for whether or not the Elder Corps passes this application. I won’t bother. I’ll also tell you this …… Emanuel. It’s not too late to regret now, but later, it’ll be too late to regret.”
Linley said as he turned his head and walked away, his face cold.
Linley had truly moved to kill!
“Originally, I wanted to continue living a tranquil life. Until I became an Upper God. Immanuel. It was you who forced me!” Linley no longer cared, if he truly participated in a life and death battle, he would definitely kill Emanuel!
Looking at Linley’s departing back, Emanuel sneered.
“Refuse? Is refusing useful?” Emanuel snorted, “By then. It’s useless for you to regret it.” Emanuel turned his head and left, also ignoring Garvey.
Garvey sighed.
“Pity a genius who’s going to die.” Garvey didn’t think Linley could live at all. Emanuel was the fourth generation of the family. His father was the third generation of the family. His grandmother was even the second generation of the family.
In the entire Green Dragon clan, there were only two people in the second generation, a pair of siblings. One was the son of the clan’s patriarch, the old ancestor ‘Green Dragon’. The other, the patriarch’s own sister.
In the family. Emanuel was not considered the highest status. But the influence is not small.
And Garvey? I don’t know how many thousands of generations later. Although he was also a seven-star demon, after all, he was not as influential as the other.
Dark night. The purple moon hung high.
Linley flew alone on the Dragon Road, the way back Linley remembered very clearly.
“This disk dragon ring.” Linley glanced down. In his mind, he couldn’t help but recall a scene from his infancy to the present day.
Because of the disk dragon ring, he had met Grandpa Delin.
Because of Grandpa Delin, he had grown into a strong man.
All along the way. It was also because of the Dragon Ring that he was able to make up for the flaws in his soul that were worse than that of a Higher God. Because of the Dragon Ring. He dared to fight seven star demons without realizing it. ……
This life of his has been linked to the Discordant Dragon Ring.
“This disk dragon ring, no one can take it away.” Linley said silently.
“If I really have to participate in a life and death battle.” Linley’s gaze was clear and cold. “Be sure to kill that Emanuel. Right now, the one who knows that I have the Discordant Dragon Ring. He’s the only one. He also definitely wouldn’t be stupid enough to spread this news out, so if we kill him, outsiders won’t know.”
Emanuel went back that day. He immediately went to the three elders responsible for managing the ‘life and death battle’.
For ordinary ground battles, the three elders could then decide.
“Emanuel. What are you in such a hurry to bring the three of us here for?” Two males and one female. All three of them were wearing cyan armor encrusted with golden patterns. Clad in cloaks with intricate magic patterns.
Three elders.
“There is a Mediate God who offended me. Doesn’t regard me in the slightest.” Emanuel said angrily, “I’m going to kill him, I’m applying for a life and death battle. You three help out and just grant this application.” Saying that, he handed over a piece of paper.
The three elders looked at the paper and looked at each other.
Are you kidding?
An elder. To fight to the death. To kill a Mediate God?
The blonde woman among them laughed, ”Emanuel. You are an Elder. How can you have a general opinion with a Median God?”
“I must kill him.” Emanuel said.
Another silver-haired elder laughed, “Emanuel. If you really want to kill him, tell us the reason why he offended you and directly we’ll send someone to arrest him. In the name of the family. The charge of offending the elders. Just execute him directly.
Why bother with a battle to the death? You’re an Elder. A life and death battle with a Median God, ridiculous, isn’t it?”
“Three bits. Even if I, Emanuel, ask for your help. Okay?” Emanuel said.
The three looked at each other.
“Okay. We promise.” These three elders all flipped their hands and took out a plume brush. Signed their names on that paper.
Emanuel saw this scene. Smiling, he secretly said in his heart, “Linley. Now, it’s too late for you to regret it.”
