Episode 8: Walking a Thousand Miles Chapter 29: Exploration
One of the seven provinces of the O’Brien Empire, the ‘Northwest Province’ was vast, and there were tens of millions of inhabitants within the provinces, and the provincial city of the Northwest Province, ‘Bazil’, was also the most prosperous city in the Northwest Province, and there were more than a million people living within the provincial city of Bazil alone.
In the city of Bazil, there were also many ancient noble families.
Count Perry, although he was not considered the most dazzling noble in the city of Bazil Province, he had a lot of influence in those ancient families, plus he was a good old man who never competed for any power, almost all the nobles were on good terms with him.
“Lord Earl, you’re back.”
The guard at the entrance of the Count’s residence bowed smilingly and said.
Earl Perry is now over two hundred years old, his hair is silver and white, but that eight-rowed beard is still the same as when he was young, Earl Perry nodded slightly at his guard and smiled cordially, “Oh, got your hair cut, your hair is well cut, it was cut at Old Locke’s, right?”
That guard heard the compliment, smiled as if flowers were growing on his face, “Say, Mr. Locke’s handiwork there is really good.”
Earl Perry smiled and entered his mansion.
“Earl Perry is really a good man.”
The guard sighed in his heart.
Count Perry was indeed a good man, this was the consensus of almost everyone in the city of Bazil Province, Count Perry didn’t like to kill people and didn’t like slurs. His demeanor completely embodied the virtues that a noble gentleman should have.
Entering the back room.
Count Perry’s face went gloomy.
“What in the world is going on? How could so many things happen one after another?”
Earl Perry was troubled, a few days ago he got the news that Cardinal Lampson, as well as the other ascetics and extraordinarily ranked deacons, had disappeared in the county town of Chil. And then he got the news again. The squad that was escorting the two girls had also been killed all together, and the two girls had disappeared as well.
Earl Perry, after becoming the head of the Illuminati in the northwest province of the O’Brien Empire. It had been a long time since he had encountered anything tricky.
“I hope nothing happens to Lord Lampson and the others.”
Perry prayed in his heart.
It was no big deal if those two girls were rescued. But Lampson and the other six were all rank nine experts, and the one they were escorting was also a rank nine Undead Daemon Guide. This matter was one of the most important things he had encountered since he became the chief leader of this province.
“Lord Earl.”
An eagle-nosed, tall and thin curly-haired man walked in and bowed respectfully, “The matter regarding those lords has been checked.”
Perry immediately looked at him, “Speak quickly.”
“According to the information provided by the parishioners in other cities, those few lords have not shown up again. Moreover, we mobilized our people in Chil County City to check, and we have not seen those lords leave Chil County City either.”
That hawk-nosed, curly-haired man replied respectfully.
Perry’s eyes glared.
“What?”
Perry’s heart, which had been hanging in the air for the past few days, trembled, “It’s impossible for the several adults of Lampson to have stayed in Chill County City all this time. And based on the traces of their residence in Chil County City. It is very likely that the several adults of Lampson have suffered an attack. It’s entirely possible that the Lampson Several Lords left Chil County City by leaping over the city walls late at night.”
“But even if that’s the case, Lord Lampson and the others should have appeared in other cities.”
Perry was really worried at this time.
He had a very bad premonition.
“Can’t it be that Lord Lampson and the others have been killed by a strong enemy?”
Perry couldn’t believe it, after all, the Lampson six were really strong, to kill these six. Unless the other party also had a few rank nine powerhouses. Or Saint Domain powerhouses.
Perry suddenly looked at the hawk-nosed curly-haired man and coldly commanded, “You quickly go to Old Polly’s place and tell him to bring his three-headed Green Wind Eagle to my study.”
“Yes, Lord Earl.”
The hawk-nosed man also knew the seriousness of the matter.
Perry immediately walked towards his study with large strides, and on that day, Perry wrote three letters that were also about Lampson and the others, and had each of the three Green Wind Eagles send them to the Illuminati’s current ‘Holy Island’.
Ever since the Holy City of Finlay was destroyed. The Illuminati had built a new headquarters on an island not far from the Yulan continent, declaring it as the ‘Holy Island’ to the outside world.
In the secluded valley outside the city of Chill County.
At the moment there were four wooden houses, one for Linley and Bebe, one for Sessler, one for Rebecca and Lina. There was also one for Heilu.
Early in the morning, the valley was secluded and quiet.
Two beautiful white girls, like in a dream, were talking and laughing with each other while washing a piece of clothing. These clothes were the two of them with Linley and Sessler. Back in the valley. They were the ones who did all the washing and cooking and so on.
“Sister, you said Grandpa Sessler. Are you tired of practicing in that house all day?”
Rebecca whispered to Lina.
That wooden house of Sessler’s was completely enveloped by a black undead aura. That black, thick undead aura made Rebecca and Lina not dare to approach it at all.
Lina frowned. That white artist’s nose crinkled adorably as she deliberated, “Maybe strong people are meant to cultivate so diligently. However, I still feel comfortable watching Big Brother Lei cultivate.”
Saying that, she looked towards the center of the distant turquoise water lake, and Rebecca looked over as well.
In the center of the turquoise water lake, Linley was stepping on the water without sinking.
“Mil Mil Mil Lin Lei’s feet the ground underneath the surface of the water sunk down a few centimeters, because the bottom of Lin Lei’s feet from time to time surged out of fighting qi, which also made the entire surface of the lake ripple.
Lin Lei’s right hand holding the black Yu heavy sword, sometimes it is a swing chop, sometimes it is a straight stab …… every swing, are caused around the surrounding air vibration, the air is like a quagmire, black Yu heavy sword swing chopping when there is a kind of to split the feeling of space.
“This Earth Upanishad, but it always works sometimes and sometimes doesn’t work when I use it.”
Linley frowned.
When he had killed Lampson, although Linley had only slashed at Lampson’s body with a sword, the surface of Lampson’s body hadn’t had the slightest injury, but his body had been turned into mud.
In Linley’s opinion, the third layer of the Hei Yu Heavy Sword cultivation was ‘potential’, and the fourth layer was this ‘Earth Upanishad’.
Through a heavy weapon like the Hei Yu Heavy Sword, Linley could bring part of his comprehension of the laws of the earth into play. This kind of attack. In essence, it was an attack that was transmitted through vibrations into the enemy in an instant.
Vibration transmission, to the limit can be completely ignored defense need to know that the earth pulsation is the formation of the heavens and earth has always existed. The mysteries of the earth are too profound. The basic principle of this ‘Earth Upanishad’ is that the attacking power is completely transformed into vibrations similar to earth pulsations. When the vibration attacked the enemy, it would cause a resonance within the enemy’s body. This resonance was very powerful, after all, it was Linley’s attack power that was transformed into the earth.
The internal organs of the body were not as powerful as the body surface defense.
This kind of resonance could easily shake the enemy’s body into mush.
“But it’s too difficult to transform attack power into resonance.”
Linley understood that normal fighting qi and power and ‘vibration waves’ were two completely different attacks.
Relying on his partial comprehension of the Laws of the Earth, Linley could make it possible for usual attacks to be transformed into such ‘vibrational wave’ attacks.
According to Linley’s theory, the more times the transformed ‘vibration wave’ vibrated. It meant that the more efficient the transformation was.
“I can sometimes attack a dozen times with vibrations in an instant, but sometimes I can’t transform them even once.”
Linley had a bit of a headache.
Linley understood that a heavy sword at this level had already entered the threshold of the ‘Laws of the Earth’.
However, Linley hadn’t fully grasped it yet.
“We can’t be greedy and adventurous, right now we’re not looking for a high number of vibrations, we’re just looking to do it so that we can transform successfully every time.”
Linley held the Black Yul heavy sword in one hand. His face was serious.
Steeply – as if tearing through space, the Black Yul Heavy Sword slashed directly onto the surface of the lake.
Bizarrely, the surface of the lake didn’t even sink half a point, but the entire Aqua Lake emitted a bizarre ‘gurgling’ sound, and then the entire lake surface seemed to be lifted by a giant, and the lake surface surged violently. Waves of water as high as a meter were raised.
“It worked again this time.”
Linley wasn’t too happy, for this fourth layer of ‘Earth Upanishad’, he had only succeeded occasionally and hadn’t fully grasped its laws.
“Big brother Lei, it’s time to eat.”
Lina stood on the lake shore not far away and shouted with a smile.
“Grandpa Sessler, it’s time to eat, stop cultivating.”
Rebecca also shouted up from outside Sessler’s wooden house.
With a flip of his hand, Linley’s Black Yul heavy sword was thrown up. It landed directly into the scabbard behind his back. With Linley’s perfect control of ‘potential’, the weight of the Black Yul heavy sword didn’t hinder Linley at all.
On the grass. A rectangular ground table was placed.
Linley, Sessler, and the two Rebecca sisters were all gathered around it.
“Linley. What are you cultivating? I saw your bizarre cultivation method, I haven’t seen any warrior cultivate like that.”
Sessler inquired curiously.
Sessler was not inexhaustible. However, he knew very little about warrior cultivation.
In fact, in order to enter the Holy Realm, a peak ninth level expert would actually need to cultivate in the realm. And in order to enter the divine level, a Holy Realm expert would also need to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, and ultimately obtain the Godhead.
“This is realm cultivation, just like a magician’s comprehension of the elements.”
Linley said casually.
Sessler, however, instantly understood.
Because he was a rank nine Undead Grand Magus, he was now sometimes soul attuned to the boundless death aura of the Undead Realm to comprehend the vague and ethereal laws of death.
“Sessler, if we kill Lampson and the others, then the Illuminati will endure this?”
Linley still had this matter in the back of his mind.
Sessler, however, smiled very confidently, “Don’t worry, I’m telling you, the O’Brien Empire is so far away from the Illuminati that even if you use flying magical beasts for news transmission, it would take ten days and half a month. And for them to send an expert over, it would probably also take a while.”
“Saint realm experts, if they fly over, that’s a very fast speed.”
Linley said seriously.
Having killed so many people from the Illuminati, it was quite possible that the Illuminati would send a Saint realm expert.
“Haha, don’t worry, they wouldn’t dare send a Saint realm expert. You don’t think about it, why didn’t they send a Saint realm expert to capture me. Instead, they had a ninth level expert come to capture me.”
Sessler laughed triumphantly.
Linley was puzzled by this point as well.
It was absolutely easy for a Saint realm expert to come and capture Sessler.
“Linley, you have to know that this O’Brien Empire has the Martial God sitting on it, and the Martial God has long since issued a word not to allow Saint realm experts from other countries to come to the O’Brien Empire to spread their wildness. It’s fine if they come to play around, but once they do it and are discovered. Then the consequences will be severe.”
Sessler sneered, “If you give the Illuminati ten guts, they wouldn’t dare to defy the Martial God.”
The dignity of the Martial God was inviolable.
“Not necessarily.”
Linley shook his head, “Didn’t they say that? Once the move is discovered, but what if it isn’t? One must know that there aren’t many experts in Chill County City, and the Martial God is far away in the Imperial Capital there, so if a Saint realm expert pops up in Chill County City, he won’t necessarily discover it.”
Sessler was stunned.
“The Illuminati wouldn’t be this crazy, right?”
Sessler was a little uncertain.
“It’s hard to say, after all, this time we killed six rank nine powerhouses in one breath, plus when we captured you, you killed a few. The Illuminati won’t swallow this easily.”
Linley said solemnly.
Sessler thought for a moment, but smiled, “It’s fine, there are no Saint Realm powerhouses in the county town of Chill, but there is a Saint Realm powerhouse in the provincial town of Bazil, ‘MacKenzie’. If the Illuminati sends a Saint Domain expert over to fight us, it will definitely be discovered by McKensie, who definitely won’t allow the Illuminati’s people to be arrogant in his territory, and at that time, once the two Saint Domain experts fight against each other, the God of Wushu will definitely find out.”
“Right.”
Linley smiled as well.
If he led the Illuminati to fight with the O’Brien Empire, he could definitely make the Illuminati suffer.
“Linley, when I was escorted to the region of the Northwest Province by Lampson and the others, the person secretly in charge of the Illuminati in the Northwest Province went to receive Lampson and the others. I remember that old man’s name was ‘Perry’, and listening to their conversation, that old man Perry should have been from the Bazil Province region.”
Sessler smiled grimly, “We’re going to Bazil anyway, so let’s take care of that Perry on the way. We might even be able to find out quite a few secrets of the Illuminati.”
“The head of the Northwest Province?”
Linley’s eyes lit up, “Fine, we’ll set off tomorrow.”
