Episode 17 The Phantom Palace Chapter 50 Life and Death!

Inside the inner room, a group of people were watching Alphonsus save Delia, and Linley was one of the most nervous among them, to the point where beads of sweat were appearing on his forehead. But Linley didn’t seem to notice.

“Snort~”

Green air currents lingered. Making a very faint sound, Alphonsus suddenly let out a low grunt with a serious expression, and the speed of the green air flow increased dramatically. Non-stop into Delia’s brain.

“En~” Delia seemed to be in pain as she let out a slight sound. There was also a slight frown on her brow.

This slight sound. To Linley, it was like heavenly music, and his eyes lit up as if he had been electrocuted, “Delia, she’s conscious! She’s reacting!” Linley’s body began to tremble with excitement.

Surprise appeared on the faces of the others as well. Emotions.

“Boss. Delia is saved.” Bebe even sent a divine sense voice transmission in surprise.

“En.” Linley nodded. The entire person seemed to be filled with life all of a sudden.

Gaius Reyson, Psylocke, and the others all smiled and laughed as Linley continued to stare at the hope swelling in Alphonsus’ heart to save Delia: “Delia, you’ll be fine, for sure.”

Right at this moment-

Alphonsus withdrew his right hand. Ending the rescue.

“Mr. Alphonsus. Is my wife she well?” Linley even inquired, and Alphonsus turned his head to look at Linley, clearly seeing the anticipation, the hope in the eyes of the young man in front of him. However, Alphonsus let out a low sigh, “Linley. Make your preparations.”

“Be prepared, for what?” Linley felt bad all of a sudden.

“Mr. Alphonsus. What’s going on?” Originally full of smiles, Gaius Reyson’s face also changed. Even asked.

Alphonsus shook his head, “I can only tell you clearly. This woman, I don’t have the ability to save …… And. I also advise you guys to give up. Trying to save this woman is almost an impossible thing.”

Linley heard Alphonsus’ words. He only felt his mind instantly go blank.

“No!”

Linley suddenly let out a low cry, then stared at Alphonsus with a deadly glare. Like a crazed lion, “Mr. Alphonsus, you must be lying to me. Just now, Delia was reacting. She was conscious, how could she suddenly be unable to be saved again?”

“Right. Wasn’t it better just now?” Gaius Reyson also said.

Alphonsus saw the frantic expression of the youth in front of him. With a low sigh, he said, “Linley. Just now, your wife didn’t regain her consciousness, but rather, when I was in the middle of rescuing her, her soul rejection was extremely strong. To the extreme. Only then did the body slightly have a reflexive action.”

“But. But didn’t Kestrel say. You have 90% certainty of saving my wife’s life? How come now …… “Linley couldn’t accept it.

Really couldn’t accept it!

Three months ago Linley had thought that Delia would definitely be cured. Within these three months, Linley had constantly looked forward to this day, and even just now Linley had thought that Delia was going to be cured.

But now ……

Alphonsus sighed, “If it was three months ago and I was here to save your wife, I would definitely be able to save her, but now, it’s too late.”

“What do you mean. Three months ago it could be saved, but now it can’t be saved?” Linley said eagerly.

Alphonsus looked around at the crowd before saying, “Everyone. This soul attack is very insidious and poisonous. That green point of light. After penetrating into the soul, it is constantly devouring and transforming, one turning into two. Two turns into four, four turns into eight ……”

“Although, the soul of an Elder God is very strong. It’s hard to devour and transform, but. This kind of superimposed constant expansion, the further it goes, the more exaggerated the speed is.” Alphonsus said with a straight face.

Everyone present nodded their heads.

“I know all of this, but why are you unable to save Delia anymore?” Linley said eagerly.

Alphonsus looked at Linley. Sighing, he said, “Linley, don’t you understand? This devouring transformation speed. It’s getting more and more exaggerated, three months ago, the devouring transformation speed, and now compared to …… a difference of a million times!”

Linley was stunned.

One becomes two. Two turns into four, four turns into eight …… and on and on it stretched. With only dozens of transformations, that number would become an extremely staggeringly exaggerated astronomical number.

“I’m going to save your wife by taking these green points of light and transforming them in a counter-swallowing manner!” Alphonsus said.

Linley also knew that saving, was a reverse process of devouring and transforming the ground.

“Only if my ground’s reverse devouring transformation speed. Exceeds the ‘Devouring Transformation Speed’, then your wife can be saved.” Alphonsus said. Linley completely understood.

“The speed at which I save her now can no longer catch up to the devouring transformation speed, even if I’m fighting for my life. At most, I can slow down the devouring transformation speed and slightly extend your wife’s life.” Alphonsus sighed, “If three months ago, I could easily save your wife, but now. Please forgive me for not being able to do anything.”

Linley stood there frozen.

He completely understood, this devouring speed. It was like a starburst, the further back it went, the larger the area it burned up. A little spark. It would be able to burn a grassland. This ‘green point of light’ was like this.

The longer the time. The faster this devouring speed is …… and the slimmer the chance of saving Delia.

“Boss, boss.” Bebe even shouted.

“Linley.” Psylocke also shouted.

But Linley was standing there as if he were stupid, still.

“Ugh.” Alphonsus sighed as well.

Inside the room, Gaius Reyson, the Vermillion Bird Patriarch, and the other elders all looked at each other for a moment. With nothing to say, the atmosphere of the entire inner room was depressing.

“Mr. Alphonsus.” Linley suddenly said urgently, “I beg you, help save and try to prolong my wife’s life first. Let me have enough time, and I’ll ask others to save her. Is that okay?” Linley looked at Alphonsus expectantly.

Linley understood that the speed of Alphonsus’ rescue was not as fast as the speed of devouring, so …… Alphonsus would need to keep rescuing there if he wanted to prolong Delia’s life. This request of his own. Indeed, it is a bit excessive.

However, one had no choice!

“Linley.”

Alphonsus said with a straight face, “Whether it’s because of your Four Divine Beasts family. Or because of the Lord of the House. If I had the ability, I would absolutely help delay your wife’s life. However, I must tell you that even if I help, it will be delayed by one or two days at most.”

“Delay a day or two?” Linley was stunned.

Originally, he had hoped to delay it by a few years. The longer the better.

“This soul rescue, it’s not as simple as you think, me rescuing your wife. I said earlier that it was because your wife’s soul was extremely repulsive. The body is producing a direct reaction.” Alphonsus said, “The soul is a very core place, I save the cure, is to be very, very careful, if a little bit of energy escapes, it will hurt your wife’s soul and make your wife die.”

“For a brief period of time, I can stay in the best condition and make no mistakes. But slightly longer in that situation. The consumption of my soul power is too great. It’s normal to make a mistake. Once a mistake is made. Your wife will be ……,” Alphonsus said apologetically.

Linley was silent for a moment.

“Linley, Lord Prefect will be arriving soon as well. Perhaps the House Lord will be able to save your wife.” Gaius Reyson said evenly, and Linley’s eyes lit up, “Right. There’s also the House Lord.”

Alphonsus, however, said, “Linley, I’ve already said it. Let you be prepared, although I also admire the House Lord, but honestly …… I don’t think that the House Lord has the ability to save your wife.”

“Mr. Alphonsus.” Linley was somewhat annoyed.

“There are only three ways to save your wife.” Alphonsus said.

Linley even listened carefully.

“Number one. A strong person who cultivates the Rule of Life nearly to its limit. It is estimated that the speed of salvation. Can exceed the speed of devouring. This kind of person will be able to save your wife …… Of course, it must still be now. If another two or three months passes and it reaches the most advanced stage, I’m afraid that any more powerful Rule of Life powerhouses. Wouldn’t even be able to save your wife in time.” Alphonsus said, “But this kind of person whose Life Rule has been cultivated to near the limit, not to mention hell, is very rare in the Supreme Plane of Life, the second way. Is to use the power of the Life Lord God. With such a devouring speed, with the power of the Life Lord God’s power earth is powerful. It’s enough to heal quickly!”

That Gaius Reyson said eagerly, “The Life Lord God’s power. Our Four Divine Beasts family does have it!”

“Right. Use the power of the Life Lord God.” Linley said evenly.

“You haven’t heard me out!”

Alphonsus shook his head and said, “The power of the Life Lord God is extremely powerful. The speed of repair is naturally astonishing, but …… the power of the Life Lord God is too powerful. It’s impossible for an Elder God to manipulate it to the point of perfection. I’m sure you all know that you’ve used the power of the Lord God. This Lord God’s power will escape, right?”

Linley was stunned.

Yes. ……

The power of the Lord God was too strong. The control ability of the souls of the Elder Gods couldn’t perfectly control the power of the Lord God, which was what caused those who used the power of the Lord God to have a cyan halo, black halo, and so on permeating their body surface.

That’s all because the main god’s power automatically escapes to the ground.

There is a saying ……

The power of the Lord God can only be used once! Because, once a Higher God activates the power of the Lord God, there is no way to stop the power of the Lord God. There is no way to stop the main god’s power from escaping. Even if you don’t fight anymore. The Lord God’s power would automatically escape the light.

“Use the power of the Lord God to save Delia. In the depths of the soul, the Lord God’s power wouldn’t say anything about escaping. As long as there is a slight mistake. Shock to the soul, Delia’s soul will directly die!” Alphonsus said, “Remember, saving Delia. There can’t be even a hint of escaping even when using the power of the Lord God. There is a single misstep!”

Linley couldn’t help but pale.

He understood this, the power of the Lord God. That was the energy of the Lord God’s earth, and the higher gods had to control it perfectly. Not even wasting a single ounce, not escaping a single ounce. He had never even heard of it.

Gaius Rexon said: ”The ability to control the power of the Lord God to this extent, there is also ground among the upper gods …… Legends. An Upper God who has reached the Great Perfection realm will be able to perfectly control the power of the Lord God, unfortunately. I haven’t heard of, in the Yu Lan Mansion, who is an upper god of the Great Perfection.”

Linley couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

“Mr. Alphonsus, isn’t there a third way?” Linley said evenly.

Alphonsus said helplessly, “The third way is to ask a Lord God to step in! As long as it’s a Lord God. Any main god! All of them can easily save your earthly wife. But …… can you invite a Lord God?”

“This third method is simply nonsense.” Bebe said discontentedly.

Linley, however, was silent for a long time.

“Mr. Alphonsus. There’s no other way?” Linley asked once more.

Alphonsus nodded with complete certainty: “With my research into the soul, I dare to be completely certain that there are no other ways but these three. There is no other way.”

The first way. Find a superpower whose life rule cultivation had nearly reached its limit, far surpassing Alphonsus’ ground. Where to find one in the Yu Lan Mansion?

The second method. To find someone who could perfectly control the power of the Lord God. Without a single trace of dissipation. Without a single mistake, this kind of soul control. Only the legendary Earth’s Great Perfection Superior God can do it.

The third way ……

The only place related to himself, the Zijing Lord God. Not to mention whether the other party was willing to help themselves, the most important thing was. From the Blood Peak Continent to the Purple Bauhinia Continent, the time taken. It was too long!

Delia couldn’t wait for that time!

“Everyone. I’ve troubled you all for this period of time.” Linley tried to squeeze out a smile and said, “Everyone go back as well. There’s no need to bother with things at my place. Mr. Alphonsus, this time, I’m really grateful to you for rushing so far. Coming to save my wife.”

Gaius Reyson, the Vermillion Bird Patriarch, Psylocke, and a group of others all sighed secretly in their hearts when they saw Linley’s expression.

“Linley. We’ll leave first.” Gaius Reyson and the others wanted to comfort, but they didn’t know what to say, and one by one, they could only leave, although everyone knew that the Psi-Lan Mansion Master was coming soon, but after hearing Alphonsus’ words. Everyone also understood …… that the Psi-Blue Mansion Lord probably couldn’t save Linley. Unless, the Spectral Blue Mansion Lord soul control power, can reach perfect control of the power of the Lord God. Unfortunately. Legend had it that only Great Perfection Upper Gods did it.

“Boss …….”

Bebe looked at Linley’s depressed figure. However, he had the feeling that he wanted to cry.

Linley turned his head to look at Bebe. A smile squeezed out on his face as well, “Bebe, you go out as well, let me stay here with Delia.” Linley reached out and patted Bebe on the shoulder. Bebe ‘en’ed. Even nodded his head.

With that, Bebe could only leave the house as well.

Inside the house, only Linley, Delia, and the sleeping and bewildered Cheng Di who didn’t know what was happening remained.

Linley quietly looked at Delia. Countless scenes flashed through his mind like lightning, and sadness filled his entire chest as Linley couldn’t help but tilt his head, ”Heavens! Why are you punishing me like this!!!”

A low, hoarse voice echoed within the silent house. The voice was filled with unwillingness, anger, sadness, and …… despair!

Two lines of tears slid down Linley’s face.

Linley slowly walked over to the edge of the bed, knelt and crouched in front of it, carefully looking at Delia. Stretching out his hand, he slowly caressed Delia’s face. A smile appeared on Linley’s face. A quiet smile, ”Delia. I will accompany you and walk the last stretch of the road. Do not leave …… me!”

Time passed, and several days passed in the blink of an eye.

Bebe stood outside the house, looking through the window, at this moment Baruch came over, lest he disturb Linley. Whispering softly, he said, “Bebe, what’s his condition now, Linley?” Everyone knew about Delia’s situation. Everyone understood ……

Delia was probably hopeless. It was just that everyone was also worried that Linley would be decadent as well. Or even do something that would make everyone regret the pain.

“You see.” Bebe sighed, Bebe hadn’t had a single smile in all this time either, he was no longer in the mood for fun.

Baruch looked in through the window.

Only to see that inside the house-

Linley was holding Chengdi. Feeding Chengdi some runny food. From time to time, Linley even looked towards Delia. Whispering, he said, “Delia, Wedi is very good today, not making any noise at all.”

Seeing this scene, Baruch outside the house stopped looking at it

“I really hope!” Bebe said in a low voice, “Very much so, that the soon-to-arrive Yilan Mansion Master. Will be able to save Delia! Definitely!”

“En.” Baruch also nodded his head.

Just at this moment, a silhouette quietly fell from the sky. It was none other than Psylocke. Pusro whispered, “Bebe, Linley he ……”

“Pusro. You’ve come?” A gentle voice rang out. Only to see Linley smiling as he walked out of the house holding Cheng Di in his arms. “I accompanied Cheng Di out for a walk, come on. Psylocke. You hug Chengdi as well. It’s been so long since you’ve been here, Widi misses you.”

Psylocke was stunned when he saw Linley’s smile.

He hadn’t expected it. Linley would still be smiling at this time? But somehow. He always felt that …… Linley smiling was more than that sad expression. It was even harder for him to bear.

“Good. I’ll hug …… “Psylocke even went over.

“Hug~”When Witty saw Psylocke come, he actually stretched out his little hand. His mouth cried out. “Hug~”

Linley laughed, “Weidi can already speak simply now. Will call out to his mother.”

Just at this moment-

A silhouette in the sky fell down at great speed. It was none other than Elder Garvey, who flew over. Even said, “Linley. Lord Prefect is here!”

Linley was stunned.

“Lord Prefect has come?” There was a slight hint of color in Linley’s eyes, although he was interested in the Spectral Blue Mansion Lord saving Delia. Linley no longer held much hope in his heart, but after all, it was an attempt.

“Right. The four Clan Chiefs, the Grand Elder, and all of them immediately went to greet them, and they won’t arrive until a little while later!” Elder Garvey explained.

The four patriarchs of the Four Divine Beasts Clan Lands were very proud of themselves, but they were sincerely admiring and respecting the Yu Lan Mansion Master, and the other party had a great favor for the clan. Moreover, the other party’s strength was enough to make them so.

“Oh. Linley he lives here?” A cordial voice rang out.

More than a dozen silhouettes flew in at great speed from high above. Linley, Psylocke, Bebe, and a group of others all tilted their heads to look. The one flying in the forefront was none other than that Phantom Blue Mansion Lord, while the four clan heads of Gaius Reyson followed at his side. The four patriarchs had a humble attitude.

Linley, however, was staring at the person surrounded by the four patriarchs like stars.

This person wore a long black robe. His long black hair was spread out, his black beard hung down over his chest, and his eyes were small, but as bright as stars. The corners of his mouth always carried a hint of a smile. It appeared cordial, “Linley!” The man greeted with a smile.

“Linley. This is Lord Prefect.” Gaius Reyson introduced.

Linley, however, looked at the man incredulously, “Bei …… Lord Beirut?”

“Grandpa!” Bebe also exclaimed in shock. Then he excitedly flew over, and Beirut opened his mouth in laughter, “Haha, Bebe ……” he said. Then he hugged Bebe in his arms.

“Grandpa!” Bebe shouted excitedly.

“Haha …… miss grandpa.” Beirut laughed happily.

And the four patriarchs such as Gaius Reyson and the Vermillion Bird Patriarch. There was also a group of elders such as the Grand Elder. Even Psylocke and the others were staring at this scene with wide eyes in disbelief.

“Lord Prefect? Grandfather?” Each and every one of their expressions were stunned to the core.
