Episode 17 – The House of Spectre Chapter 55 – Beirut’s Cunning

Surprisingly, it was Elder Vulkan who had snitched on him, and this news had already shaken many people. And now the Grand Elder had suddenly struck out and killed Vulkan with his own hands. It even made the entire hall silent for a while.

“I didn’t think it was really him!” A low sigh resounded through the hall.

The one who spoke was none other than Gaius Reyson, while Linley scrutinized the Grand Elder: “This Grand Elder was so decisive as to strike down his own son!” Linley marveled as well.

“Big brother, Vulkan has already been subjected to the clan rules!” The Grand Elder said in a cold, indifferent voice, “This matter has been concluded, so I will retire.”

“En, you go back and rest.” Gaius Reyson also understood that his sister was not feeling well in her heart.

“Wait.” A voice suddenly rang out.

The Grand Elder was already about to leave, but at this moment, he also stopped, turned his head to look at Beirut who was sitting in the main seat, and said in a low voice, “Lord Prefect, I wonder what else you have to do?” The tone was calm and indifferent, but Linley sensed the annoyance contained in this flatness!

His son was dead, and he was still pestering him?

Linley couldn’t help but look towards Beirut, who spoke with a faint smile on his face, “According to your Four Divine Beasts family rules, this betrayer of the family, the bilocations are all put to death, correct?”

“Yes.” The Grand Elder tilted his head and looked at Beirut, “I don’t know why Lord Prefect is asking this?”

“I want to know, how many great doppelgangers does this Vulkan have?” Beirut smiled faintly.

The Grand Elder was slightly silent, wearing a mask that made it impossible to see her expression, but Linley could see that this Grand Elder’s body was trembling slightly, clearly already furious.

“Even the main body, there are a total of three great bilocations.” The Grand Elder said in a low voice, “However, my son, his true essence is still only a Saint realm, so I struck him down with only two godhoods. I don’t know, Lord Prefect is satisfied with my answer. Is it still satisfactory?”

“Sister.” Gaius Reyson let out a low gulp.

The tone of this Grand Elder’s attitude was clearly not good.

Beirut smiled bashfully, “It’s fine, killing his own son with his own hands. I can understand the bad mood. But …… Gaia. I hope you remember, your son is a family traitor, he deserves to die!” Beirut spoke without mercy.

The Grand Elder’s body trembled.

“Alright.” Beirut stood up, “The matter has been settled! Dennington, Psylocke, Linley, let’s go, let’s all go back.”

Linley and the rest of the group immediately got up.

Beirut walked down. Glancing at the bloody corpses on the ground, he indifferently said, “It’s better to dispose of the corpses despite the fact that they’re here, defiling people’s eyes!” After saying that. Beirut then walked out, and Dennington and the others followed along.

Linley glanced at the Grand Elder as he left, but the Grand Elder flicked his hand. The corpses on the ground were reduced to pieces.

“Let’s go. I didn’t realize that Vulkan was a traitor.” Those elders were all indignant and left the hall as well. The only two people left in the hall for a moment were Gaisleyson and the Grand Elder.

The Grand Elder stood in the center of the hall, motionless.

“Sister, Vulhan, he is a traitor to the family, he deserves to die!” Gaius Reyson walked over and patted the Great Elder on the shoulder. Once one became a family traitor. The clansmen of the Four Divine Beasts clan would all despise Vulkan. Even if he died, no one would pity him.

“I know.”

The Grand Elder’s voice was low. “But it’s still hard for me. En, big brother, I’m going back.” Without saying any more, the Grand Elder turned around and left. Her son had become a traitor to the family and was killed by her own hand. With this matter of Vulcan, I’m afraid that the most heartbroken place in the entire Skyline Mountain Range would be the Grand Elder.

“Haha, painful, painful!” Bebe laughed out loud, “I’ve long since looked at that father and son with disdain, when they were eyeing your Coiled Dragon Ring, Boss. This time, I’ve also suspected them for a long time. It’s really them. Good death! Good death!”

Linley laughed.

He himself had suspected that it was Vulkan, but he wasn’t sure enough. But why did Beirut dare to do that, was Lord Beirut not afraid …… that Vulkan was wrongly accused. Then how will Lord Beirut step down?

Linley had been puzzled by this.

Beirut, Dennington, Purslow, and Linley they all sat around the stone table in front of the house, Linley deliberated or raised his doubts, “Lord Beirut, how are you so sure that this Vulkan is the traitor?”

Beirut looked at him, a hint of teasing in his eyes, “This is what you told me!”

“When I first said that, I didn’t have any evidence, I just suspected it.” Linley said evenly.

“Haha ……” Dannington beside him seemed to have heard some big joke and burst out laughing.

Linley couldn’t help but be confused, what was so funny about this. Beside him, Earth Bei Bei spoke, “Grandpa, could it be that you really knew about this beforehand with the Lord God?”

“How could I possibly know beforehand.” Beirut laughed, “If I knew beforehand, I would have ordered someone to come and remind Linley. In fact, before today, I wasn’t completely sure.”

Linley was stunned, unsure?

“But Lord Beirut, you even invited Dennington here, and forced a spell of mesmerization, so if that Vulkan wasn’t a traitor, wouldn’t that be embarrassing?” Linley even said.

“Haha ……” Dennington laughed once more as he glanced at Beirut, “Beirut, don’t deliberately tease Linley and the others here. It’s better for me to do the talking!” Dennington began to reveal the truth.

Linley even listened carefully.

“This Lord Beirut of yours is not at all certain whether or not Vulkan is a traitor.” Dennington laughed, “So he asked me, after casting another mesmerizing spell on Vulkan, to quickly check Vulkan’s memories first!”

Under normal circumstances, the memories of the God’s land could not be checked but once he was mesmerized and did not have the slightest ability to resist, such a terrifying figure like Dennington would be able to easily check the memories of the mesmerized figure.

“The moment I probed the memory, I knew!” Dennington laughed, “He is a traitor!”

“But what if he isn’t?” Bebe said evenly, and Linley looked at Dennington in confusion.

Dennington laughed, “If he isn’t, that’s simple!”

“Then I’ll immediately bring Vulkan back to his senses in a split second.” Dennington glanced at Beirut, “Then, I’ll boast that this Green Dragon Clan is truly worthy of its name. Even I was unable to force a mesmerization on him.”

The moment Dannington said this, Linley, Delia, and Bebe were all completely baffled.

Indeed. The mesmerized state was a loss of consciousness. If Dennington had allowed Vulkan to regain consciousness again after successfully mesmerizing him and checking his memories. Vulkan would only feel his mind spinning and not feel much.

And Linley, Geyser Reisen, and the Grand Elder watching from the side wouldn’t have known that in a split second, Vulkan had been mesmerized.

“Awesome.” Linley sighed darkly.

If Vulkan wasn’t a traitor, Dennington had deliberately said that mesmerization wouldn’t work. That would only have been something that Gaius Reyson, the Grand Elder, and the others would have felt honored by. After all, …… even Dennington, such a super expert, was unable to mesmerize the family elders.

“What a great idea.” Bebe also marveled.

“Good what good?” Dennington stroked his eight-beard, “If that Vulhan really isn’t a traitor. Then the loss is my Dennington’s reputation.”

“Don’t worry.” Beirut smiled, “Your reputation will not be damaged. Even if you openly say that you don’t have the means to mesmerize Vulkan. Others will only think that the Green Dragon Clan’s talent is powerful, not that you have poor strength.”

Dennington raised his eyebrows and smiled.

This strength was a shocking battle that was recognized by everyone. Who would dare to look down on the first person under the Lord God of the Sea of Chaos?

“Linley. Bebe.” Beirut suddenly said, “After this, although the Great Elder has nothing to say, he is definitely unwilling in his heart, so I think it’s best for you guys to leave the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range. Go to my place.”

Leaving the Sky Ritual Mountain Range, Linley couldn’t help but turn his head towards Delia.

“Yes!” Bebe, however, said cheerfully, “It’s a bit boring in the Sky Ritual Mountain Range. Grandpa’s mansion. I haven’t been there yet. Going to have some fun.”

“Delia, what do you think?” Linley looked towards Delia. Divine sense transmitted a voice.

Delia looked at Widi in her arms, and Divine Sense Voice Transmission replied back, “Widi is still small, it’s better not to toss around outside, when Widi can be independent in the future, it’s fine for us to go out and have a stroll.”

“En.” Linley nodded, and after a divine sense voice transmission exchange, Linley made up his mind.

“Boss, going?” Bebe even inquired.

Linley smiled and shook his head, “Lord Prefect, Bebe, I won’t go. Weidi is still small …… What’s more, Delia and I will just live inside the Grand Canyon. Living with a large group of clansmen from the Yulan lineage, the days are still very comfortable. As for how that Great Elder …… I’m not going to the Blood War Valley either, what can she do even if she is unwilling in her heart?”

“En, then I also advise you.” Beirut nodded with a faint smile.

“Alas.” Bebe grunted in a funereal manner, “Boss, just stay with Delia, your son. I’ll go out first.”

Linley smiled and nodded, he could tell that although Bebe had been staying here, his heart wasn’t here, “Guess Bebe he’s holding onto Nini.” Linley let out a dark sigh, “But that Nessie, she’s still in the Bifu Continent.” In the Sacrificial Mountain Range, there were enough people to see them off, including the four great patriarchs and a large group of people. After that, Linley’s days resumed in a rare calm.

In the calm, Linley also accompanied his wife and son, and also cultivated in peace.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye.

Linley was reading a book inside the house, while the four great doppelgangers were all in cultivation.

“Father, the snow is so thick, come see!”

Suddenly a crisp voice came from outside the house, Linley couldn’t help but smile as he heard it and got up, walking towards the outside. Only to see a small child in bloated, pink ground dressed all over his body happily grabbing snowballs and playing, while Delia was also accompanying the child at the side.

“Father, look, that’s the snowman I built.” Seeing Linley come out, Widi even ran over, his mouth shouting.

With a stomp on the ground, Weidi directly leapt up while hugging Linley, “Father, the snowman is there, look.” Weidi’s little face was pink and moist, a pinch seemed to be able to pinch out water.

Linley loved Weidi, and back then in the Yulan Continent.

Sasha and Taylor were in their growing stages, but they themselves were in cultivation. There hadn’t been any company for his children at all.

“Oh, Weidi, is this what you piled up?” Linley looked over, the snowman was just one large and two small orbs, with the upper ground orbs making out noses and eyes. There were three snowmen in total, two large and one small.

“En.” Weidi nodded solemnly, “Father, look, this is you, this is mother, and this is me.”

Linley couldn’t help but smile as he listened.

“Widi, don’t keep on your father, come down.” Delia said.

“Oh.” Weidi obediently let go of Linley and jumped down, but his feet slipped and he stumbled, Delia couldn’t help but even go to help.

Linley laughed, then casually walked idly on this snowy ground. One step, one footprint. At the moment, the snow had long since stopped, but the snow on the ground was still relatively thick, and at first glance, the range of vision was all silver-white.

“Father, father.” Witty’s shouts came from behind.

Linley turned his head to look over, but he caught a glimpse of his own footprints not far away, where the snow was deeply sunken, but there was a bit of green color tenaciously emerging from it. In the moment of seeing this bit of green —-

Hearing his son’s cry in the distance Father! Father!

Scenes from the past few years quickly swept through his mind, from Delia being in deep danger, his own despair, escaping from despair again, and these few years of peaceful but happy life.

“Boom!”

A bit of green light erupted from Linley’s mind, and in an instant, the green light transformed into a green sun that shone throughout his entire mind.
