Episode 7: The Heavens Turned Upside Down Chapter 3: Certain Death?
The entire powerhouses at the top of the temple were puzzled, Linley’s soul was still a long way from condensing into substance, Linley was only a rank seven magus today, not to mention a rank seven magus, even a rank nine grand magus couldn’t possibly resist the purification of the Lord of Light’s power of faith.
“How is that possible?”
The ascetics, special deacons, and deputy magistrates on the field all murmured to themselves, unable to believe this.
“Surprisingly, it failed, the Divine Favor Descent surprisingly didn’t succeed in creating a Divine Favorite. So, what should be done with this Linley?”
Hastings looked towards Linley, who was suspended in midair, “A character with such talent, a hundred years of time would definitely allow him to become a peak Saint realm powerhouse. Probably even stronger than me. At that time, the glory of my Lord of Light will surely shine over a wider area.”
Hastings truly couldn’t bear to kill Linley.
“Your Majesty?”
Gilmer shouted softly.
Hastings’ somewhat confused, doubtful eyes instantly regained their clarity, and he had already made his decision.
“Your Majesty, Linley, he hasn’t become a Divine Favorite, so us?”
Gilmer inquired.
Hastings looked towards Linley, whose body was also slowly floating to the ground under his control, and this time Linley stood up directly with a single hand. At this moment, there wasn’t a single injury on Linley’s body, and it had to be said that God’s Favor descending was also somewhat beneficial.
Linley looked at the large circle of powerhouses around him.
“This group of people, at the very least, are all ninth level powerhouses. If I resist, I’m afraid I don’t stand a chance.”
Linley looked coldly at Hastings and the rest of the group and spoke out, “Your Holiness, what exactly are you doing to me?”
A smile suddenly appeared on Hastings’ face, “Don’t ask too many questions, several deacons, you will escort Linley back into the secret room again.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The six extraordinarily ranked deacons nodded their heads.
Immediately, without giving Linley any opportunity to ask questions, the six extraordinarily ranked deacons walked directly towards Linley, one of them even directly chiding, “Hurry up. Do you want us to escort you away?”
The situation was aggressive. Linley had no choice.
“Fine.”
Linley directly opened the gate and walked directly towards the bottom. And these six Extraordinary Deacons directly followed behind Linley, as Linley advanced floor by floor towards the bottom, and any watchmen who passed by saw the six Extraordinary Deacons with a respectful attitude.
These six special grade deacons. They were all dressed in blue robes. The icy gaze that looked at Linley made Linley feel …… that once he had any misbehavior, I was afraid that these six would directly kill him.
When the six Extraordinary Deacons coerced Linley to leave, another female Cardinal Marina inquired, ”Your Majesty, that Linley didn’t become a Divine Favorite, although we don’t understand why. But now we must make a decision on what to do with this Linley.”
Gilmer and the others looked to Hastings.
Linley was a genius, they all knew that, but Linley hadn’t become a Divine Favorite, plus Linley’s mother had been killed by their Illuminati. The Holy See had to make a decision – whether to take the risk of harboring Linley and hiding the news of Linley’s mother. Or to kill Linley outright.
Hiding the news of Linley’s mother could be hidden for a while, but after Linley became an absolute senior member of the Illuminati. I’m afraid it would be impossible to hide.
Hastings’ face was indifferent as he said in a cold voice, “Kill.”
Gilmer and the others couldn’t help but tremble at the bottom of their hearts.
“In two days it will be the Yulan Festival that only happens once every ten thousand years. Let’s set killing Linley after the Magnolia Festival.”
Hastings directly announced.
Gilmer, who had deeper contact with Linley, also sighed in his heart.
A genius character. Originally, he could have ridden across the Yulan Continent. But now fate had been decided. Gilmer knew very well that at the moment, Linley was being held in the Temple of Light. There was no way for Linley to escape, not even a chance of escaping the secret room.
“That Hisser has some relationship with this Linley, but it’s Hisser who doesn’t have the ability to break into the Temple of Light to save Linley.”
Gilmer sighed darkly.
Linley was bound to die.
In the middle of the secret room on the ninth floor of the Temple of Light.
“Go in.”
When Linley entered the secret room, the six extraordinarily ranked deacons directly closed the secret room once more.
When the six Extraordinary Deacons turned to leave, one of them, a silver-haired middle-aged man, turned his head to look at Linley: “Kid, let me remind you that even though your strength has been restored, don’t even think about trying to break through this secret room and escape.”
The other five Extraordinary Deacons all stopped as well, and a balding old man smiled faintly, “Break open the secret room? Kid, the fact that you are able to break open this secret room means that your strength is at least at the level of His Holiness the Pope.”
“What does that mean?”
Linley said out loud.
Linley himself couldn’t see what was so special about this secret room at all, with his strength as a level nine warrior after his dragonization, ordinary stone buildings were like paper that could be easily poked through.
“The Temple of Light is the greatest building of our Church of Light, and the entire temple itself contains a giant magic formation called the Glory of the Lord of Light. Whether it’s from the outside of the Temple of Light, or from the inside, it’s impossible to destroy the temple one iota.”
The silver-haired middle-aged man proudly said, “Kid, I can tell you that the only way for you to break through this secret room and escape is to destroy the chain that locks the door, and I can also tell you that this chain is laced with black yu.”
After saying that, the six special grade deacons laughed at each other and left.
Linley, however, was silent.
Hearing the name Black Yul, Linley understood in his heart that he probably wouldn’t be able to break it. Black yu, in the legend, when the earth magic earth guardian holy armor reached the divine level, the guardian holy armor was made up of black yu. The defense was strong enough to withstand several attacks from a God-level powerhouse. As for a Saint realm powerhouse it’s simply impossible to break through.”
Linley himself was an Earth System Magician, so he naturally knew the legend of the Earth Guardian Holy Armor at its peak.
Upon reaching Saint Realm Magus, the Earth Guardian Holy Armor was diamond level, and upon breaking through the Saint Realm to reach the divine level, it was the Black Yul Holy Armor.
“Linley, according to my estimation, this should be the secret room where the Illuminati keep ninth level powerhouses, and even Saint Realm powerhouses.”
Drinkwater said, “Although that chain is only laced with black yu, it’s not composed entirely of black yu. But to break it. I’m afraid that even a Saint realm powerhouse would find it difficult to do so.”
Linley nodded.
He already understood the words of that extraordinarily ranked deacon who had said that you were able to break open this secret room, which meant that your strength had at least reached the level of His Holiness the Pope.
Monroe Dawson, as well as Yale, Reynolds, George and the others were sitting around the dining table eating breakfast together, all this time, Yale, Reynolds, George and the three of them had been worried about Linley. But even Monroe Dawson stepping in was useless. What else could they do?
Break into the Temple of Light to save Linley? Even Monroe Dawson didn’t dare to do it.
“Yale, the day after tomorrow is the Magnolia Festival, and this one is the Ten Thousand Years Magnolia Festival, so I’m afraid we’ll only come across it once in a lifetime. You three little guys can have a good hot time.”
Monroe Dawson said smilingly.
Monroe Dawson, to Yale land several good brothers are very courteous.
Because Yale’s three good brothers. Linley, Reynolds, George three people are extraordinary, Reynolds’s family in the O’Brien Empire military also has amazing strength, George behind the family in the Yulan Empire influence, not much weaker than the Ryan family.
And although Linley’s family is in decline, it is also a dragon blood warrior family. And Linley’s own potential was even more unlimited.
Suddenly footsteps sounded.
“Lord President, the people from the Illuminati are outside.”
A servant said respectfully.
Yale, George, and Reno’s eyes all lit up as soon as they heard the words Illuminati, and they all looked towards this servant. Monroe Dawson understood what his son and the other three had in mind, and immediately ordered with a smile, “Let him come in.”
“Yes.”
In just a moment. A white-robed priest came and said slightly respectfully, “President Dawson. His Holiness the Pope commanded me to bring a letter to President Dawson.”
Saying that, this white-robed priest took out a beautifully decorated letter from his bosom.
Immediately, a servant received the letter. It was eventually sent to Monroe Dawson.
Monroe Dawson directly opened the envelope. But when he saw the content of the letter his face couldn’t help but change, and he directly said coldly, “You can leave.”
That white-robed priest also left with a slight salute.
“Father. What was written in that letter?”
Yale immediately inquired anxiously, “Is it related to Old Three?”
Reno and George also looked at Monroe Dawson expectantly.
Monroe Dawson nodded.
“The Illuminati told me that they, the Illuminati, have already made a decision within the Illuminati and will be secretly executing Linley.”
Monroe Dawson’s words shook Yale, Reynolds, and George like resounding thunder, and their faces brushed white. The three of them froze for a while “No, it can’t be.”
Yale was the first to call up, a hand from his father’s hands grabbed the letter, trembling holding the letter to look at. Next to Renault, George two people also immediately reached out to see. However, when the three of them saw the content, they were so anxious that they went crazy.
“No!”
Yale directly rushed out from his seat, and he wanted to rush towards the hall beyond. “Yale.”
Monroe Dawson frowned coldly.
“Stop him.”
Monroe Dawson commanded directly.
Yale turned his head to look at his father and said anxiously, “Father, I beg you, quickly bring people to save Linley, the big deal is to give up some of the Chamber’s benefits, I don’t believe that that Illuminati doesn’t have the slightest regard for our Chamber. Father, I beg you.”
“Hmph, what do you know? If there really were conditions to be negotiated, then the Pope would have already talked to me long ago. Linley’s grudge with the Illuminati is definitely not the same as what we understand. Otherwise, the Illuminati wouldn’t want to execute a genius figure. Alright, men, escort the young master back to his room. Let him calm down for a while.”
Immediately, there were guards who escorted Yale back, and it was useless to let Yale shout in anger and anxiety.
And Reno, the Georges could only remain silent.
They didn’t have much to do with Monroe Dawson after all, but in their hearts they were also anxious for Linley. Outside Ray’s secret room came a cardinal archbishop, none other than Gilmer.
“Gilmer.”
Linley looked at Gilmer with some surprise.
Gilmer had brought extremely sumptuous dishes, which were handed in one by one from the mouth of the small cave.
Gilmer looked at Linley and sighed lowly, “Linley, I’m very optimistic about you. But, alas …… probably doomed you to not becoming a member of our Church of Light. Well, eat well, you don’t have a few days left to eat.”
Hearing these words, Linley was stunned.
“Lord Gilmer, what do you mean by that?”
Linley looked at Gilmer.
Gilmer sighed, “The day after tomorrow, that day of January 2nd, will be your last day on this earth.”
Gilmer still liked Linley as a young man, especially after knowing why Linley had killed Clyde, he sighed at Linley’s fate.
He could have had a bright future, but for the sake of his parents’ revenge, he could still give up everything to take revenge.
Although, he, Gilmer, probably wouldn’t have done so, it didn’t hurt that he had some admiration for Linley in his heart.
“January 2nd?”
Linley’s face changed several times before he finally slowly closed his eyes. He had fully understood, and it was clear that the day after tomorrow would be the day he would be executed.
“Thank you, Lord Gilmer, if it wasn’t for you, I’m afraid I would have thought that there was a hope of survival.”
Linley smiled faintly.
Gilmer glanced at Linley, shook his head with a low sigh, and turned his head away. Only Linley was left alone in the middle of this secret room.
“January 2nd, having to wait until after the Magnolia Festival to execute me… tomorrow is the Magnolia Festival, it seems, and it’s also the day of Karan and Alice’s wedding.”
Linley, who knew that he would surely die, was at this moment in an unprecedentedly calm and indifferent state of mind.
