Episode 6: The Road to Revenge Chapter 8: Too Much Intent to Kill

In this assassination attempt, eighteen Illuminati warriors died on Linley’s side, as well as four attendants and two male attendants. After this incident, the Illuminati had immediately increased the protection force of this residence.

On the evening of the day of the assassination, in the middle of the mansion’s living room.

“Linley, are you alright?”

King Clyde inquired with concern.

“Your Majesty, it’s just a minor injury.”

Linley’s arm was still wrapped in gauze.

In reality, Linley hadn’t been injured this time, but Linley didn’t want to be made to think that he was so powerful. So he had created some superficial wounds for himself. It was just a cut on his arm with a flat blade.

This was nothing to Linley, who had felt the pain of his first dragon transformation metamorphosis.

“Linley, it’s good that you’re fine.”

Duke Patterson, who was next to Clyde, also smiled.

Linley looked towards Duke Patterson.

This evening should have been a meeting between the two of them, Linley and Duke Patterson. However, because of this assassination, it had resulted in the two of them being unable to speak some whispers.

“Second brother, it’s better if we don’t disturb Linley, let Linley rest.”

Clyde turned his head and said.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Patterson glanced at Linley before leaving with Clyde.

Linley could feel a hint of helplessness in the glance that Patterson looked at as he left. Apparently the plan was that Patterson was prepared to meet with Linley alone at night, and should have some things to talk about.

But now it was clear that the opportunity wasn’t suitable.

And a few days later, tranquility returned to the middle of the mansion.

“Boss, it’s May 18th today, isn’t it?”

Bei Bei, who was eating lunch with Linley, suddenly transmitted a voice to Linley’s soul.

“Right. What’s going on?”

Linley looked at Bebe.

Bebe’s small nose wrinkled as he skimmed his lips and transmitted, “Boss, have you forgotten? Didn’t that Debus Family patriarch Bernard tell you that June 18th was the day of his son’s engagement?

He even invited you to attend. Now it’s May 18th, there’s only a month left. “”Engagement?””

Linley was stunned.

In a month’s time, Alice would be getting engaged to Karan.

“That doesn’t concern me.”

Linley regained his composure in an instant and lowered his head to continue eating his lunch again.

Bebe’s small, ebony eyes turned around two or three times before he touched his chin with his small paw in a puzzled manner, “Could it be that I, Bebe, have misread it? It shouldn’t be, I’m so powerful. Eyesight so accurate. The boss heart should definitely be mind, if it is me. I would have already clawed and rotted that kalan’s dick.”

“Lord Linley.”

A knight of the Order walked in outside the living room, “Lord Linley. Lord Cardinal Gilmer is here.”

“Gilmer?”

Linley paused slightly, then directly put down his dishes and walked directly towards the door.

In the Church of Light, the person Linley was most familiar with and had the best relationship with was probably this Cardinal Gilmer. He was so courteous to himself, so naturally Linley wouldn’t be arrogant enough to think that he was really better than others. …… “Linley, there’s something joyful to tell you.”

As soon as Gilmer saw Linley on the ground, he cheerfully said directly.

Linley looked at Gilmer in confusion, “What happy thing?”

Gilmer smiled and said, “Linley. Do you know that there is a special group of people in our Illuminati – the ascetics?”

“Knew.”

Linley nodded.

The last time he had been captured and escorted by an expert of the Dark Church. Later, it had been the Deputy Inquisitor of the Inquisition and an ascetic who had led a group of deacons to scare off the other party. This was what caused himself to return to Finlay City again.

“We, the Church of Light. Many characters who are obsessed with magic or martial arts have joined the ranks of ascetics, and it can be said that whether it’s the Knights of the Temple. Or the Inquisition and so on, in terms of masters are far inferior to the ascetics.”

Gilmer smilingly patted Linley’s shoulder, “What I’m going to tell you is that you have a high hope of becoming a disciple of a Legendary Ascetic.”

“Legendary ascetic?”

Linley frowned.

Gilmer said with a faint smile, “This Legendary Ascetic, amongst the group of ascetics, also belongs to the top of the heap. He also holds a very high position in our Temple of Light. Moreover, I’m afraid that if we look at the entire Yulan Continent, only those three perverts will be able to completely surpass him.”

“Three perverts?”

Linley immediately became curious, “Lord Gilmer, who are the three perverts you’re talking about?”

The two of them had already returned to the middle of the living room in the middle of their conversation.

Gilmer didn’t answer immediately, but instead gave a color to a white-robed priest next to him. The white-robed priest immediately and knowingly kicked everyone out, and he himself obediently closed the door to the living room and left.

In the middle of the entire living room, there was only Linley, Gilmer, and Bebe, the little shadow mouse.

“Linley, in the future, you might also come into contact with these people, so it’s fine for me to tell you.”

Gilmer said in a mysterious manner.

Linley looked at Gilmer curiously.

Gilmer sighed, “In the entire Yulan Continent, there are three existences that have completely surpassed the Holy Realm.

The perverts I’m talking about are these three perverts. “”Existences that have transcended the Saint realm, that’s not a god?””

Linley said in shock.

“Yes, it can be called a god.”

Gilmer nodded.

Linley immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Gilmer slowly said, “Of the three perverted figures of the entire Yulan, the first perverted figure is the ‘High Priest of the Temple of Life’ of the Yulan Empire, which many people also directly refer to as the ‘High Priest’.

The age of this High Priest, at least I don’t know. His lifespan is too long. “Linley nodded.

“The second perverted figure, whose lifespan is likewise extremely long, is the true owner of the Dark Forest, the third most ferocious place on the Yulan Continent. This perverted figure is said to be of the Devil Beast clan, but he has already reached the point where he can change into human form. ”Linley, you should know that a magical beast is one that has reached the Saint Realm level, but at most it can change in size and speak human words, it’s simply impossible to turn into a human form.

For a magical beast to be able to cultivate to the point where it could turn into human form, he’s so terrifying that it makes one’s heart tremble to even imagine it. “Linley nodded slightly.

He had heard Delinquent speak of these two figures from the era when Delinquent was still alive. These two figures were invincible existences.

“And the third person?”

Linley pressed on.

Gilmer sighed, “The third person, and the one I greatly admire in my heart, is the founding emperor of the most powerful military power in the entire Yulan Continent, the ‘O’Brien Empire’, known as the ‘God of Wushu’. O’Brien’.”

“O’Brien?”

Linley instantly memorized this name.

The O’Brien Empire, named after this man, could thus be imagined to be astonishing.

“More than five thousand years ago, the Martial God rose to prominence at breakneck speed, defeating one powerhouse after another. In that era, there were many super strong people, such as the four Ultimate Warriors. They were also born in that era.”

Gilmer smiled at Linley.

Linley thought of his old ancestor, ‘Baruch’.

The first patriarch of the Baruch clan had risen to power precisely five thousand years ago.

“The four ultimate warriors of the Earth at the time were powerful. But the light was completely overshadowed by the God of Wushu, who defeated one Saint Domain powerhouse after another. In the end, he even went so far as to duel with the High Priestess on top of the ‘Yulan River’. The two of them fought, and more than ten thousand people died because of this battle. In the end, both the Magnolia Empire and the O’Brien Empire gave up that large piece of land, eventually forming three kingdoms as a buffer between the two empires.”

Gilmer sighed and said. “Linley, in many people’s minds, the High Priestess is the strongest human being. But the Martial God was actually able to fight the High Priest to a draw. And how long has the Martial God been practicing? That’s what many people admire about him. I wonder what level of cultivation the Martial God has reached after more than five thousand years have passed. What level has it reached.”

Gilmer marveled.

Linley also secretly nodded.

“Martial God. Tied with the high priest?”

Derinkelwalt’s voice resounded in Linley’s mind, “How is that possible?”

The era in which Derinkovort lived. It was the era that was completely illuminated by the light of the High Priestess.

In Derinkovort’s mind, the High Priestess was too strong. It was simply unrivaled.

“Grandpa Derrin, there are strong people in every era. If Grandpa Delin you hadn’t died in the first place and continued to cultivate, perhaps one day you would also be able to break through the Holy Realm and become an expert on par with the High Priest.”

Linley said in his heart.

Delinquent sighed lowly, and then said no more.

“Let’s not talk about those three perverted characters, the person I’m about to take you to see is also just second to those three perverted characters. If you can become his disciple, it will be of great benefit to your breakthrough in magic.”

Gilmer said.

Linley smiled in his heart.

Second only to the three perverted figures, wasn’t his own Grandpa Delin also at the peak of the Holy Realm at first?

“This Legendary ascetic, what is his earthly name?”

Linley asked after him.

“He’s called …… Falling Leaves.”

Among the slums of Finlay City, Linley hadn’t realized that the super large city ‘Finlay City’, which ranked among the top few in the Yulan Continent, also had such a desolate and backward place. It was even far worse than his own countryside town.

At this moment, it was just the two of them, Linley and Gilmer, walking side by side in the middle of this dirty alleyway.

“Lord Gilmer, the Lord Falling Leaves you spoke of, is here?”

Linley was somewhat incredulous.

“Right.”

Gilmer nodded and said, “Linley, remember, Lord Falling Leaves hates the kind of nobles who think they’re superior, so you must be humble, that is, humble and courteous to those poor people.”

Linley looked to some of the paupers next to him.

Just a short distance to the side, a seven or eight year old skinny skin and bones little boy was wearing tattered linen clothes that were black and oily. This little boy was looking at Linley with those big eyes wide open in curiosity and fear.

Because he was so skinny, those eyes stood out more and more.

That naive gaze, however, caused Linley’s heart to tremble.

Linley didn’t do much, just following beside Gilmer as he kept moving forward. Along the way, Linley saw many poor children. These children were poorly clothed, and most of them were extremely thin.

“Here it is.”

Gilmer suddenly said.

Linley couldn’t help but turn his head to look.

Only to see that there was a randomly constructed house made of iron in front of him, and an old man who was like a beggar was sitting in front of the house, an old man who was so thin that it made people’s hearts tremble, and whose entire body’s skin seemed to be folded over, and whose hands were like a pair of chicken claws, with only bones and a layer of skin left.

Just such an old man was looking at Linley with interest.

“Lord Falling Leaf.”

Gilmer said respectfully.

“Is he really Lord Falling Leaf?”

Linley hadn’t been able to be sure in his heart, but seeing Gilmer do this, he had to believe it.

But this old man in front of him, the beggar old man who seemed as if he could be blown by a gust of wind, was really Lord ‘Falling Leaves’, a top-tier Saint realm powerhouse?

“Gilmer, is this the very talented kid you were talking about?”

The beggar old man inquired.

“Yes, Lord Falling Leaves.”

Gilmer respectfully said.

“Grandpa Falling Leaf, Grandpa Falling Leaf, quickly save my mother, she’s been injured.”

Only a tender voice could be heard, a little girl was carrying her wasting mother step by step.

The old beggar immediately walked over and stretched out his right hand.

The holy light shone, and the woman who was originally seriously injured recovered at an astonishing speed.

The old beggar man looked back at Linley: ”I will only teach people with good hearts and pure souls. And you …… have too much killing intent, I will not teach you.”

Gilmer couldn’t help but stare at these words.

“Too heavy a killing intent?”

Linley, however, had a smile on his face.

The great hatred of his father and mother caused Linley to suffer unspeakable torture every day. He wanted to kill Patterson at all times. But he had to be calm and not impulsive. This enforced suppression caused Linley’s killing intent to grow.

“Lord Falling Leaves, I’ll take my leave then.”

Linley bowed slightly, turned his head, and simply left.

That old beggar man who had originally wanted to say a few more words couldn’t help but be stunned when he saw Linley leave so dryly, but then a hint of a smile appeared on his face.
