Episode 17 – The Phantom Blue Mansion Chapter 19 – The Elder

The dragon path meandered. Linley flew at breakneck speed.

“Before, because of that life and death battle. It made the Earth Patriarch angry. I was still apprehensively following the clan leader away. Thought I was going to face some kind of danger, but who would have thought that not only was there no punishment at all, but in the blink of an eye, I’d become a clan elder!” Linley couldn’t help but smile as he looked at the green armor with golden patterns on his body.

“Things change in the world, strange indeed.” Linley sighed.

“Elder!” A large number of patrolling warriors on the Dragon Road respectfully saluted when they saw Linley’s flying silhouette.

Linley glanced at these patrol warriors and nodded slightly.

Amidst the respectful salutes of the patrolling warriors, Linley whizzed past.

Looking at Linley’s departing back. A patrol warrior frowned and said, ”That elder. It seems to be Linley who participated in the life and death battle. Captain. You went to see it too, was that Linley just now?”

“Didn’t see it clearly, it seemed like Linley.” That patrol squad captain also said.

“It was Linley, I saw it clearly.”

“What, the Linley who participated in the life and death battle has grown old?” Many of the patrolling warriors who hadn’t watched the life and death battle were puzzled.

“Is it strange to become an elder, if it wasn’t for the patriarch rushing in at the end. Elder Emanuel would have been killed. That Lord Linley could definitely have seven star demonic strength!”

After all, there were thousands of patrolling warriors watching the battlefield, and Linley was recognized by many as he flew along the Dragon Road, and soon. The news that Linley had become an Elder spread with great speed amongst the patrolling warriors.

“Arrived.” Linley looked at the large canyon ahead. After his body traced an arc, he swooped down into the interior.

Linley flew directly towards the Yulan lineage’s residence, and in midair Linley saw that a group of people were gathering at the entrance to his residence. Baruch, Tarosha, Olivia, and dozens of others were gathered here.

“I hope nothing happens to Linley.” Then Hazard sighed lowly. “It’s rare for my Yulan lineage to produce such an expert, if it’s …… ugh!” Unconsciously. The clansmen of the Yulan lineage all regarded Linley as the ‘flag’ of this lineage.

Flag. How could it fall?

“I also don’t know how the patriarch will punish Linley.” Hisser also worried.

“Look in Death Valley. The matriarch is very strict.” Olivia frowned.

“Don’t worry, the clan leader won’t kill Linley at least.” Baruch said. He was clear that the Four Divine Beasts clan was in crisis, and at the moment, the patriarch wouldn’t be willing to kill an expert ground.

Delia, on the other hand, frowned and kept waiting quietly.

“The Boss is here.” Bebe made a sudden sound. At the same time, he tilted his head to look upwards.

“Linley’s here?” The group of people immediately followed Bebe’s gaze and all tilted their heads upwards to look above. Only to see that in the light mist above them. A swift figure descended directly from the sky, and Baruch and the rest of the group could only vaguely see halos of various colors.

The figure landed. It was none other than Linley!

Baruch, Tarosha, and a group of others looked at Linley. They were all dumbstruck.

Only Linley’s entire body was shrouded within cyan armor, which had intricate golden patterns on it. It appeared ancient and noble, with a cloak clasped over both shoulders in particular. The complex magical patterns on the cloak were profound and unfathomable, and a faint halo of various colors flowed through it.

It was clearly elder attire!

“Lin. Linley?” Baruch, Ryan, Tilling, and the rest of the group looked at Linley in shock.

“Clan Chief.” Linley looked at the crowd with a smile.

“Linley. You’ve grown old?” Hazard’s eyes were even more rounded.

Within the Green Dragon clan. Elders that were definitely the true top echelons of the clan. Every elder, was a seven star demon, enough to make countless earthly clansmen worship and look up to them, they knew that Linley’s strength was good, but who would want to ……

Linley had grown old!

“Everyone, don’t stand outside. Go inside and talk.” Linley said with a smile.

“Right. All go into the hall.” Baruch awoke with a start. Even said. “Linley. You left with the clan leader and elders. What exactly happened. Later on you can say clearly, I’m confused as hell right now.”

“Clan Chief ……,” Linley was just about to speak.

“Just address me as Baruch.” Baruch looked at Linley in his elder attire. “Linley. You’re an elder now. There’s only one person who can let you call yourself a patriarch, Linley. There’s only that one person.”

Linley understood Baruch’s thoughts. Laughing, he said, “Within this Grand Canyon. I still address you as the patriarch.”

Baruch saw Linley’s expression. Knowing that he couldn’t refute it, he could only respond.

The important members of the Yulan lineage gathered together. They also listened to Linley narrate. Linley, of course, only narrated briefly. Skipping over some of the secrets, during the narration. Everyone felt grateful for Linley. At the same time, they also felt proud of Linley.

Linley, the thirty-sixth Elder of the Elder Corps!

The Yulan lineage had a very low status in the Green Dragon Clan, but now there was an elder in their lineage. Then the status of the Yulan lineage could be completely different. After all, there were only so many Elders in the entire clan.

There were elders in their own lineage. The clansmen also had a strong bottom line in the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range.

Early the next morning, inside Linley’s house.

“Delia. Originally, I was so quietly cultivating. Until I reached the upper gods, but …… sorry, now that I’ve become this elder, I’m afraid I won’t have much of a long peaceful life.” Linley said apologetically as he embraced Delia.

Delia smiled and tilted her head back to look at Linley, “You don’t need to say you’re sorry.”

“Linley!” A voice rang out in Linley’s mind.

Linley was stunned and smiled apologetically at Delia, “I didn’t expect it to be so soon. I just became an elder yesterday. Now there’s someone coming to find me.”

“Go ahead.” Delia said instead.

Linley nodded slightly. Immediately, his body turned into a phantom and flew out of the house directly towards the sky above. In the air above the Grand Canyon, a handsome man in the attire of an old man stood in the air. It was none other than that Elder Garvey.

“Linley.” Garvey said with a smile.

“Garvey, is there something wrong?” Linley inquired.

“Yesterday you became an elder, so I guess you don’t know anything about what powers or responsibilities an elder has.” Garvey smiled faintly, “The patriarch then ordered me to come and talk to you in detail.”

Linley’s eyes lit up, “Thank you.”

“You won’t just be here. Let me talk, right?” Garvey laughed.

Linley took a look around. At the moment, himself and Garvey were halfway across the Grand Canyon. It really wasn’t good to have guests here. Immediately, he laughed and said, “Garvey, let’s go, let’s go to my place to talk it over.” With that, the two great elders, Linley and Garvey, flew directly towards the bottom.

At this time. A silhouette flew up from below the Grand Canyon. It was none other than Linley who had just come to the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range back then and had bullied the Yulan lineage, Aslu.

“These days are so boring, those eight great clans are always coveting our Four Divine Beasts clan. Even us patrol warriors can’t go out during our resting shifts, we can only stay within the mountain range.”

“Fortunately, there’s still half a month until the millennium rotation, it’s my turn to patrol, patrolling is better than being inside the canyon.” Aslu was in an extremely good mood. But suddenly Aslu turned his head towards the distance. Two blurry figures in the distance disappeared in a flash.

“Eh? Elders?” Aslu was startled, “Two Elders. How did they get to this remote place of ours.”

This Grand Canyon. It was also a remote place within the Green Dragon Clan’s region. How could one normally see an elder?

“Of those two elders. There’s one whose back is so familiar.” Aslu frowned. Because there was mist in the middle of the Grand Canyon. Plus the two Elders were too fast. Aslu didn’t see them clearly. “That person. Kind of looks like Linley!”

Aslu whirled around and laughed, “How can that be, that Linley is from the Yulan lineage, although his strength is good. But how can he be compared to an elder. Not to mention becoming an Elder, he’s not that strong. It’s just enough to reign supreme in this Grand Canyon of ours.”

Aslu laughed uncaringly and directly flew out of the Grand Canyon.

Inside the living room. Linley and Garvey were talking.

As they talked. Linley became clearer and clearer about many things in the clan, and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, “Elders have quite a lot of power. The entire Green Dragon clan is almost always run by elders. Although the patriarch is powerful, he usually doesn’t care about things.”

“Garvey. Listening to you say so much, there are quite a few things that the clan elders are in charge of.” Linley laughed, “I wonder which one I’m going to be in charge of?”

“Don’t be in a hurry, right now there are people in charge of things within the clan, and there are no vacancies, so. You have nothing to do for now.” Garvey laughed, “You can now fully enjoy the power of Elder Land without having to do anything. thing.”

“Your place of residence and so on has already been arranged.” Garvey said, “Also, you can now go and apply for a better place to live for your Earthly Yulan lineage.”

“No need, I’m fine living here.” Linley frowned. “Garvey, from what you’re saying, I have nothing to do now?” The clan was in crisis now. Would one be so leisurely?

“Of course there will be things to do, yet not right now, wait for the assembly of elders!” Garvey said. “The elders’ assembly is held once every thousand years, and each assembly will reassign their respective tasks, you are the new elder. You’ll be assigned things to do at that time.”

Linley drifted off.

“So you might as well enjoy a leisurely life for now. Wait until after the assembly. You won’t even be able to be leisurely if you want to.” Garvey laughed. “This kind of leisurely life. Other elders can dream of it but can’t get it.”

Linley smiled, “Right. Garvey, how long until the next elders’ assembly.” One assembly in a thousand years. Perhaps one still had hundreds of years of leisurely days left.

“Fifteen days!” Garvey said.

“Fifteen days?” Linley was stunned.

It was only once in a thousand years that a gathering took place. One was so coincidental. Only fifteen days off?

“Right. That’s why I said. You have to cherish these leisurely days.” Garvey smiled and stood up, “Okay. I’ve got to get going. When the elders gather. Someone will come by to notify you to invite you over to attend.”

Linley also even stood up. Sending Garvey away.

In the Grand Canyon.

“That Linley from the Yulan lineage, growing old? Not mouth]able!”

“It’s true, those people in the Yulan vein are saying it smugly. By the looks of it. It doesn’t look like it’s fake. But to be honest. Those people from the Yulan vein can be so smug that it’s unpleasant to look at.”

“It’s them bragging, isn’t it.”

This kind of discussion kept spreading in the Grand Canyon. The Yulan lineage had hundreds of clansmen, and after these clansmen realized that Linley was an elder, many of them bragged about it to the other branches of the Grand Canyon.

People wanted to save face.

And gods. Even more so. Linley could become a clan elder. Of course the clansmen of the Yulan lineage, who had been looked down upon in the past, wanted to publicize it.

Aslu was walking out of his residence, he was going to go on duty.

“Lord Aslu, I’ve heard that Linley has grown old, is that true?” A few people had come to ask Aslu, Aslu was an upper god. He was also considered a powerful figure in the Grand Canyon.

“You guys don’t listen to the people of the Yulan lineage bragging. That Linley is an Elder. How could that be?” Aslu snorted. “And I saw Linley yesterday, and he was only dressed very plainly.” He didn’t know that Linley didn’t want to wear elder attire all day long in the Grand Canyon.

Suddenly he froze. Doubts arose in his heart as he recalled the two elder figures he had seen.

“I told you it was impossible.” Those few people immediately spoke, “The Yulan lineage. Trying to come up with an Elder too?”

“I’m going to take my turn later. Go ask the other warriors of the clan. Just know.” Aslu said, the Grand Canyon was too remote. There were too few masters. It was also slow to know about the clan’s messages.

Those few people immediately sent Aslu away with compliments.

Just at this moment-

“Elder Linley!” A bright voice resounded steeply throughout the Grand Canyon. Immediately, the entire Grand Canyon was either a cultivation ground. Or gathered in twos and threes. Or flying in flight, they all froze.

Aslu was also stunned.

At once, a large number of figures flew towards the source of the sound. They all took a closer look-

Only three black-robed men flew down respectfully, while Linley flew out at the moment.

“The assembly of elders is about to begin?” Linley spoke.

“Yes Earth. Elder.” The three black-robed men bowed.

“Let’s go.” Linley flew up first, and the three black-robed men all followed respectfully.

A large number of people in the Grand Canyon watched this scene in disbelief. Especially today, Linley was still in elder attire. The cloak that flowed with a halo of light was even more astonishing to many people.
