Episode 17 – The Phantom Blue Mansion Chapter 44 – A Ship’s Progress

At the gates of Mil City, the Eight Great Families’ intelligence department was stationed.

“My lord, Linley’s trio, with a baby in tow, have already departed, and are expected to arrive here at the city gates soon.”

“Oh? Even brought out a baby? It seems like they’re really leaving the city. But there’s no rush, just wait slowly. When we see Linley and the others appear at the city gates, then we’ll report this to the eight elders.” The one who spoke was a simple-looking naive youth.

This simple youth was standing in front of the window of a tall building, looking downwards in a casual manner.

From his position, he could clearly see the city gates.

For a long time ……

This naive youth’s pupils shrank, and within his field of vision, amongst the bustling crowd, Linley and a few others appeared.

“Linley, Linley, you’ve finally shown up. I thought you were going to stay in this Mil City for a thousand years, but now it seems like it’s only been a year or so.” The simple youth’s eyes narrowed, a very pure smile floating on his face.

“Quickly, pass this news to the elders.” The naive youth even ordered with a divine sense voice transmission.

“Yes!”

In a mountain forest roughly a thousand miles or so away from Mil City, there was a very ordinary stone house constructed, which was very spacious, with eight futons inside. The eight gray-robed men sat on top of the futons with their knees apart, waiting silently.

It has been more than a year!

Originally, they had been carrying the thought of certain death, wanting to kill Linley. Yet they had been unable to wait for the opportunity to strike. This killing aura had naturally gradually decreased with time.

“This Linley doesn’t want to come out in the city, I really don’t know how long he’s going to stay there, ten years. A thousand years, ten thousand years?” A gray-robed man with long black hair and a black beard said with some annoyance.

Waiting without an exact period of time was most likely to make people anxious.

“Tempe!” An elegant voice rang out, “You people of the Reynals family, this heart is still not quiet enough.”

This bearded gray-robed man let out a low hum and did not speak again.

“Someone is coming from outside.” Suddenly a cold and stern voice rang out, and these words just fell. A silhouette rushed over at breakneck speed, this person was none other than the person that the intelligence department had arranged to be here, ready to send a message for the eight elders at any time.

“Eight Elders, Linley, Linley has left the city!” An excited voice rang out.

“Huo!” The eight gray-robed men stood up almost instantly at the same time, and even as composed as Elder Chabu, the leader of the eight, a look of joy appeared on his face as he whirled around and said, “This Linley. Finally showed up. Everyone …… remember. Use the power of the Lord God immediately when you strike, make sure to go all out and kill Linley.”

Outside the gates of Mil City, quite a few clansmen of the Green Dragon Clan were gathering here, and because of the family crest, everyone could clearly sense their clansmen.

“Elder Linley, you’ve come rather early today.” Twila greeted him with a divine sense voice transmission.

Linley smiled and nodded, “I’m afraid that if I were to come a little later, I’m afraid that you’d be annoyed, Elder Twila.” Tewila cast his gaze towards the baby Widi being held by Delia and transmitted, “Linley, this is your son, isn’t it. So beautiful.”

“Widi was just born. It was like an old man.” Linley said, of course Linley was open when someone else complimented his son “Right, when are we leaving?” Linley inquired.

Twila glanced around, “It looks like the people are almost all here. Let’s wait a little longer. By the way, Linley, today we’re on this metal life. But there is a very special passenger.”

“Oh. Special passenger?” Linley was somewhat surprised.

“Yes, this is something the patriarch personally instructed me to do. For me to pick him up here to join him in the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range.” Twila smiled, “Come with me, I’ll introduce you to him.”

Linley was a little curious as to who this special passenger was, and under Twila’s leadership, Linley met this special passenger, a skinny looking youth with short blonde hair and an innocent smile on his face.

However,…… Linley felt a sense of familiarity when he looked at him.

“Haha, Linley.” A bright voice resounded through Linley’s mind, and Linley awoke with a start, it was Psylocke! The voice was Psylocke’s voice!

“You?” Linley looked at the skinny young man in front of him in shock, and the skinny young man blinked, transmitting, “It can’t be helped, your patriarch said that the last time I made a move, I guess I let the eight great clans know what I look like. Even riding this metal life of yours makes me change my appearance. Really …… afraid of what? It’s just a few elders coming, I’ll take care of it alone.”

Linley couldn’t help but laugh.

Psylocke was a Lord God emissary, his strength Linley could have seen for himself, even Buro, who used the power of the Lord God, was far from being his opponent. It was an easy thing for one man to kill a few elders.

“Haha, is the patriarch he thinking for the clan as well.” Linley laughed, “By the way, how come you’re involved with our patriarch?” The last time this Psylocke stepped in to save himself, but he didn’t know the patriarch yet.

But it’s been five hundred years, what couldn’t have happened?

“You don’t have to care about that.” Psylocke mysteriously transmitted a voice, “My meeting with your clan leader will only benefit you and do you no harm is all.”

Linley smiled and nodded, “Regardless of anything else, just the fact that you’re accompanying us back to the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range this time is a great benefit.” With Psylocke present, and especially with the duo of himself and Twila, this force was not small.

A single Pusro could stand up to several Seven Star Demons.

“And this Psylocke’s power, I haven’t seen him exert it thoroughly.” Linley thought.

“Linley, who is this?” Delia and Bebe also looked at the skinny young man in front of them in puzzlement, and Linley smiled, “I’ll give you guys a detailed introduction when we get on the metal life.”

Psylocke, however, deliberately blinked.

“Oooh, wow Widi in Delia’s arms, but she stretched out her fleshy little finger towards Pusro. Pusro had also hugged Weidi quite a few times, although Pusro’s appearance had changed greatly. But Widi, who was born less than a year ago, had a special sense.

“Widi, good boy.” Pusro smiled and looked at Weidi.

Delia and Bebe were shocked, how did this skinny youth in front of them know Widi’s name?

“Everyone’s here, let’s go.” Twila came over and said, then a silver wolf-like giant being appeared in mid-air, and channels appeared in its abdomen. One by one, the clansmen of the Green Dragon clan all entered the metal life.

Linley, Psylocke, Twila, Bebe, Delia, and the others also went up together.

“Whoosh!”

The metal life instantly cut through a phantom and disappeared into the sky.

“Metal Life, flying towards position number two, flying towards position number two!” The eight family intelligence officers instantly passed the information on.

There were nine figures flying at breakneck speeds in the sky, eight of them were wearing gray robes, the other one was wearing green robes, and the green-robed man even said, “Elders, the metallic life that Linley is riding on was originally flying towards position number two. Now the direction has changed slightly. It should be passing through position four, we’re still a few hundred miles away from there, we’ll be there soon!” This time, the intelligence department of the eight great families had spent effort.

Taking the city gate as the center, the fan spread out, and within a range of thousands of miles, there were quite a few strongholds. No matter which direction the Green Dragon Clan’s ground metal beings flew in, they would be easily detected by those intelligence officers.

As for this green-robed man, one of his bilocations was at the headquarters. It was informed of the metal life’s flying position at any time.

“Very well.” That Chabu Elder transmitted his voice with a faint smile. “Everyone, there are only a few hundred miles left. Immediately we encounter that metal life, immediately cover that metal life with divine sense and instantly determine Linley’s location. When the time comes ……Annie West, you are responsible for holding that elder protecting the metal life at the side. And the other seven people, including me on the mainland, strike with all their might and join forces to surround Linley. Can’t give him the slightest chance.”

“Yes.” The seven elders answered the order.

Of these eight elders. Three of the elders possessed the power of a Lord God. One of them, Annie West, was just an ordinary elder.

The three elders who possessed the power of a Lord God were the ones who had joined forces to kill Linley this time. As well as the other four elders. With such a powerful strength, not to mention Linley, it would be difficult for even the patriarch, Gaius Reyson, to come over and carry off such an onslaught!

“Actually, Elder Chabu, if you alone use the power of the Lord God, it would be enough to kill Linley. Even if you don’t use the power of the Lord God and the seven elders join forces, there won’t be any accidents.” That bearded elder transmitted a voice.

“There can’t be the slightest bit of carelessness!” “Remember, the power of the Sovereign God is used immediately, don’t hold on to the idea of saving. There can’t be the slightest mistake in killing Linley.” Elder Chabu once again gave a strict order, “Ness, Tempest, when the two of you do it, you must use the power of the Lord God.”

Killing a chicken with a bull’s knife was already a big deal.

Killing a Linley and using three drops of Lord God’s power was indeed exaggerated enough.

The giant silver wolf-like metal being was flying at breakneck speeds while the clansmen in the pod all gathered to talk to each other. As an elder, Linley was naturally placed in an exclusive room.

Linley and Delia were then inside, with Delia holding little Widi in her arms.

“Widi, Widi.” Linley teased his son.

“Oooh, oooh……” Widi, who couldn’t speak yet, just stared at Linley with big, clear eyes, his mouth mumbling something.

Delia looked at this scene, her own husband teasing her son, Delia couldn’t help but have a smile on her face, at this moment she felt a strong happiness filling her heart, until now she was glad that she had insisted on waiting ten years for Linley back then.

Linley turned his head and looked at Delia with a smile, “Delia, what are you looking at giggling?”

“Looking at you and son.” Delia smiled brightly as well.

Just at this time —-

Eight channels of divine sense covered the metal life almost simultaneously, and everyone within the metal life was in the search coverage. Many of the clansmen within the cabin couldn’t help but change their faces, and Delia, as an Upper God, also detected this divine sense.

It was definitely not a good thing to have eight upper divine divine senses suddenly searching.

“Linley, there are eight superior deities probing this metal being.” Delia couldn’t even transmit her divine sense to speak.

Linley’s face changed in shock, and he even dispersed his divine sense, diffusing it towards the outside world ……

Only to see that in midair, eight gray-robed people swooped over towards the metal beings at breakneck speeds, three of them in particular were dispersing terrifying energies throughout their entire bodies that made people’s hearts quake, and Linley instantly recognized that it was none other than the power of the Lord God.

“The power of the Lord God!!!” Linley’s face changed drastically.

Of the eight gray-robed men, one of them had sharply reduced in speed.

And the other seven gray-robed men, especially since there were three more of them whose entire bodies were surging with the power of the Lord God, these seven gray-robed men rushed directly towards the metal beings, the location of the separate room where Linley was.

“Die!”

“Linley, run away!!!”

Psylocke and Twila’s voices instantly resounded in Linley’s mind, and they had obviously realized the enemy before Linley did.

However, it was too late!

“Peng!”

The terrifying energy rippled into the metal life, which was as fragile as a piece of paper in front of this terrifying energy, and burst apart. Bursting metal fragments flew everywhere, and Linley let out a violent bellow, his dragon scales instantly emerging, instantly dragonizing.

“Pfft!” Metal life fragments shot everywhere, and Delia snapped her head short, protecting Witty. “Delia, run away.” Linley fiercely pushed Delia, while at the same time the divine sense voice transmission droned, “Twila, protect Delia!” The enemy was clearly coming for him, and he and Psylocke were in charge of this battle.

“Linley!” Delia was pushed to the ground as if she were an arrow hurtling out, and the surface of her body immediately enveloped a divine power shield to protect little Witty. However, Delia still turned her head to look —-

Only to see the misty earth yellow light spread out —- gravity space!

A cyan colored halo also diffused —- the power of the water main god!

In an instant, Linley displayed all of his strength!

A fiery red figure rushed over, while at the same time transmitting his voice and drinking, “Delia, get to the distance, leave the battle to us!”

“Roar berserk ground dragon roars rang out from it!

“Boom!”

Terrifyingly mind-shattering explosions came from the core of the earth-colored light shield, space was burst open a channel of broken seams, berserk energy as if the water waves spread out in all directions at breakneck speed, the strength of the weak, some of the clansmen who were affected by the waves, the body directly burst open.
