Episode 17 – The Phantom Palace Chapter 48 – The Crowd’s Plans

“Yes, Matriarch!”

Elder Gavi and Vulkhanlian didn’t dare to hesitate, they all immediately left to rush to the Blood Battle Valley, the entire hall was quiet all of a sudden, even Weidi fell asleep in Pusro’s arms.

“Psylocke, give me the child.” Linley said.

Psylocke even handed the child to Linley, who held his son in his arms and looked at the unconscious Delia on the side, his heart aching.

“Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” Several more elders had rushed over, they were just about to speak, but Gaius Reyson was the one who even droned out with a divine sense transmission, “Don’t make a sound, Linley’s wife has been attacked by a strong member of the eighth family, the Edric family, you guys that think you’re good at souls, go take a look at it and see if you can be saved.”

“You guys are here?” Linley was however surprised to see these elders.

“You guys come and see if you can still save Delia.” Linley was now seeing one person and wanted the other to try.

The several elders looked at each other and all walked over to Delia’s side, and the silver-haired elder said, “Then I’ll try first.” As the Second Elder, he was indeed extremely accomplished in the soul.

“Psylocke.” Geisresson greeted Pusro to the side, “The House Master’s ……”

“This is not the time to talk about this matter.” Pusro couldn’t help but frown.

Gaius Reyson was stunned, then glanced at Linley and nodded to Pusro, “I understand, right, what exactly happened, there were you, Vitra, and Linley on this road, how did this Delia get like this? You tell me the matter in detail.”

As the patriarch, Gaius Reyson also realized that something was wrong.

“Hmph, it’s not even about your Four Divine Beast Clan and the Eight Great Clans.” Pusro let out a low hum. Clearly he was displeased, in Pusro’s opinion, Linley was implicated by the Four Divine Beasts Clan.

Thereupon, Pusro still recounted carefully, “At first, I left Mil City with Linley and the others on the Metal Life ……,” Pusro described all of it clearly from beginning to end.

At this moment, the several elders standing next to Delia used their soul power to enter Delia’s mind in turn. Checking on Delia’s situation.

“Well?” Linley held Widi in his arms, and as he looked at these elders, Linley felt that his heart had been pounding.

“There’s no way.” The silver-haired elder shook his head and sighed. “This green point of light is too stubborn, constantly devouring. But in the process of devouring and transforming. These green points of light also became part of the soul. Pure brute force, killing and destroying these green light points will only cause Delia her to die immediately! To cure Delia, the difficulty is high, very high!” After saying two very high, the silver-haired elder stopped speaking.

Linley even looked to the other elders.

The other elders only shook their heads.

“Linley, don’t be so hasty, of our four divine beast clans, the one that specializes the most in souls. It has to be the Vermillion Bird clan. They possess the ability to be reborn in fire. Maybe …… there’s a way to save Delia.” The silver-haired elder said.

“Right, rebirth by fire!” A glimmer of hope immediately arose in Linley’s heart.

It was at this moment that Linley felt a violent fluctuation in space and couldn’t help but turn his head to look, only to see that a silhouette was constantly flying over from high up in the sky, and at first glance, there were dozens of people.

“Big brother!” A thick voice rang out. It was none other than the Xuanwu clan chief.

The other three clan leaders as well as the great elders. All rushed over one by one. Just because of Gaius Reyson’s summons, a large group of people bustled into the hall. All looking towards Linley and Delia.

“Psylocke.” Those people also noticed Psylocke.

“You guys go see Linley’s wife.” Psylocke was the one who said.

“What happened to Linley’s wife?” The Vermillion Bird clan head even asked.

Linley, holding his son, even stood up and looked at the bustling group of people in front of him, which were all elite figures of the Four Divine Beasts clan, and immediately said, “My wife, suffered a soul attack from the elders of the Edric clan’s ground, the situation, let’s all take a look. I hope that those who have the means must save my wife.”

These elders noticed Linley’s face and gaze, and they all felt that Linley had worried his heart out.

“Everyone go and take a look in turn, there might be a way for someone.” Gaius Reyson said evenly.

Nowadays, all the elders of the Four Divine Beast Families combined were only seventy to eighty, and those who were present at the moment were over fifty. Obviously most of the elders had rushed over, first were the three patriarchs, who went to check Delia’s condition in turn.

Afterwards, one elder after another used their soul power to check on Delia’s condition.

Looking at such a large group of people, Linley also felt a slight sense of confidence, ”So many people, just as I can cultivate other laws, the clan elders, perhaps some of them also cultivate the rules of life. There might be someone who can save Delia. And there’s also the Vermillion Bird clan chief, this Vermillion Bird clan has the ability to be reborn from the fire, so if they can save themselves, they might be able to save others as well.”

Holding his son in his arms, Linley just looked at each elder expectantly.

It was like a drowning man staring at a driftwood.

Seeing Linley with such an expression, Purslow couldn’t help but recall the first time he’d seen Linley, when even though Linley was in trouble, he hadn’t been as out of sorts as he was now, “Ugh ……,” Purslow sighed darkly.

Soon, the group of elders had all examined them, and there were quite a few of them who were also very knowledgeable about souls, all of whom couldn’t help but frown and shake their heads. As Linley looked at the expressions on the faces of one of the elders, especially as the other shook his head and sighed, Linley felt a pain in his heart.

“Well?” Linley’s voice was hoarse, but his gaze was fixed on that Vermillion Bird clan patriarch.

That Vermillion Bird clan leader, however, turned his head to look at the others, “Everyone, does anyone have a solution? Fourth brother, you’re great at souls, do you have a solution?”

“It’s too bizarre, I’ve never seen this kind of attack before.” The burly brown-haired man frowned, “To save this Delia, it must also be treated in a gradual manner as this devouring. Gradually counter devouring, converting the devoured green points of light, into soul energy. And …… during the healing process, there cannot be a single mistake. If the energy rippled into the soul, the soul could collapse. Difficult. Difficult, difficult!”

When Linley heard these words, his heart instantly crashed

“Vermillion Bird Matriarch, what about you?” Linley even looked towards her.

The Vermillion Bird Matriarch, however, said, “Linley, I’m really sorry. Our Vermillion Bird clan is fine with saving ourselves …… but even saving ourselves is extremely depleting. As for saving others, we simply don’t have that ability.”

Linley couldn’t help but look at each of the elders.

However, all the elders shook their heads and sighed. No one had a solution.

“To do a rapid gradual progression and devour the green points of light back! It’s too difficult ……,” the burly brown-haired man shook his head, “I see. In the entire hell, those who cultivate other rules of law. Except for those few people, none of them can do it. It’s only some super strong people who cultivate the Rule of Life that can do it.”

It wasn’t necessary to be a super strong person who practiced the rules of life.

Such as cultivating the rules of fate and the rules of death, it was possible to save. It was just that the requirements for these people’s lands were higher. One had to reach the pinnacle, the point of near-perfection in the soul.

On the other hand, those who practiced the Rule of Life had lower requirements, and it was usually enough if they could reach that Elf Elder’s level.

“None of you cultivate the Rule of Life?” Linley asked unwillingly.

The white tiger patriarch nodded and said, “There are, but to reach the level of that attacker’s ground, it’s difficult to …… alone be able to execute such an attack. This attacker. In terms of soul achievement, it’s amazing enough.”

“Ah!” The Vermillion Bird Patriarch exclaimed, “There is another person in my clan who cultivates the Rule of Life, and he has a high achievement in the Rule of Life.”

Linley instantly looked towards him.

Gaius Reyson, Psylocke, and a large group of others also looked at him.

The Vermillion Bird patriarch said confidently, “His name is Kestrel, he’s not an elder, he’s a six-star demon. However, the achievement in the rules of life is indeed very high. This Kestrel I’m not sure if he can save Delia, but …… he also has a teacher. The name is Alphonsus. This Alphonsus is not from our Four Divine Beasts family. Alphonsus is a super strong person who cultivates the rule of life. Last time I heard Kestrel talk about it, his teacher is in the Blue Mansion! If Kestrel couldn’t save Delia, Alphonsus will definitely be able to!”

Linley’s eyes lit up at once.

Two Rule of Life powerhouses popped up at once.

“You quickly go and call Kestrel over.” The Vermillion Bird Clan Chief ordered one of the elders under him.

“Yes, Matriarch.” That elder flew out a moment later.

Psylocke laughed and came over, “Haha …… Linley, I told you, when we get to this Four Divine Beasts clan, there will definitely be a way to save Delia. This Kestrel can’t. His teacher will definitely work as well. You can rest assured.”

Linley felt that the world, which had originally lost its color, was all of a sudden filled with color and hope again!

Linley looked down at Delia and said softly, “Delia, you hold on, there are now two strong people who cultivate the rules of life, they’ll definitely save you. Definitely will.”

Looking at his son in his arms again, Linley’s heart was already filled with hope, “Everything will be fine.”

In the midst of a large group of elders, Vulkan was looking at Linley’s expression, but he secretly grunted, “You’re really lucky, you’re not even dead. But it’s also good, your wife is like this, making you heartbroken …… looking really makes your heart feel good!”

“Lin Lei.” A muffled voice rang out, and Gaius Reyson came over, “This time, you guys just got out of Mil City not long ago, and surprisingly, the enemy has eight elders sneaking up on you, and three of them immediately used the power of the Lord God right at the start …… This is obviously a premeditated sneak attack. How could the enemy be so coincidental as to know your whereabouts?”

Linley raised his head to look at Gaius Reyson.

“Patriarch, what do you mean?” Linley’s heart fluttered.

“You traveled to Mil City on a metal being more than a year ago. Within that year or so, but three batches of metal beings came back, but the eight great clans never sneaked up on you. They sneak attacked just after you left Mil City. It’s obvious that they grasp your whereabouts so that they can set up their men.” Gaius Reyson said, “How is it that the enemy knows your whereabouts so well?”

Linley couldn’t help but nod.

“Perhaps, someone within your family tipped them off.” Psylocke snorted coldly, “Otherwise, how could the other side find Linley so easily?”

“Psylocke.” Gaius Reyson couldn’t help but frown and drink.

That Vulkan heard this, but his pupils couldn’t help but shrink. And at this moment, Linley abruptly turned his head and looked towards that Vulkan. Just as he and Fulhan’s eyes met, Fulhan couldn’t help but be startled: “Does this Linley suspect me?”

“If anyone is snitching, it’s probably just the father and son duo.” Linley said in his heart.

Within this clan, after all, the only ones who were in conflict with themselves were that father and son.

Right at this moment, two silhouettes scurried in from outside, Linley even turned his head to look, his gaze instantly locking onto that one handsome black-haired youth, who walked directly to the Vermillion Bird Clan Chief and respectfully said, “Clan Chief!”

“You quickly look for Elder Lin Lei’s wife and see if she can be saved.” The Vermillion Bird Patriarch said.

“Yes.” The black-haired youth first gave a slight nod of his head to Linley, then looked at Delia for a moment before closing his eyes in thought.

Linley watched the scene apprehensively.

Then the black-haired youth’s eyes burst open and he looked at Linley eagerly, “Elder Linley, your wife’s situation is very bad. No one within my clan is expected to be able to save her.”

“Don’t you still have a teacher ……,” Linley said eagerly.

“My teacher he should be able to save, but …… although my teacher is in the territory of the Yu Lan Province, but from the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range here to my teacher’s place, and then rushing back again, this coming and going. Even if it’s a Seven Star Demon rushing, at the very least it would take half a year. I’m worried that at this rate of devouring, your wife won’t be able to last until that moment!”
