Episode 9: Fame and Shock Chapter 1: A Strong Backing

Linley and Walden had been separated for nearly seventeen years.

Seventeen years ago, not long after the Magnolia Festival, Walden had followed his steward, Hilly, to leave Usan Town and traveled to the distant O’Brien Empire. At that time, Linley was ten years old and Wharton was six, and at that time, the two brothers were both very pure and simple, and knew very little about this great world. And at that time, they still had Hogg behind them, who protected them like an eagle protecting a fledgling.

And now, Hogg had died long ago, and the two brothers, one was the Earl of the O’Brien Empire, while the other, even more, already possessed the terrifying strength of the Holy Domain.

In the living room of the earl’s mansion.

Linley, Walden, the butler Healy, Hillman, Nader, the five Barker brothers, Sessler, Jenny, and the Rebecca sisters were all gathered together.

Two shaped dining tables were set down in parallel, and a feast of fine wines was served in turn.

And Linley and Walton were all talking about the events of these years, and although Walton had known about Linley’s general affairs from the Dawson Chamber of Commerce long ago, when Linley himself talked about it, he was still worried about his big brother.

Almost, almost big brother had died.

“Three years of bitter cultivation in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, plus nearly six years of cultivation in the Northwest Province. Although I’ve experienced a few vicious battles, I’ve finally come through without any danger.”

Linley laughed, “In the past, I was more worried about the Illuminati, now? Now, although I don’t have the ability to attack the Illuminati’s main camp, I still have the ability to defend myself.”

The Illuminati had had a foothold in the Yulan Continent for many years.

To be able to stand alongside the O’Brien Empire in the Yulan Continent, its hidden strength was absolutely terrifying. It could be judged from the fact that the Martial God Sect had sent out three of their personal disciples who were all Saint Realms – this Illuminati’s Saint Realm experts couldn’t be any less.

“Brother, you, you’ve reached the Saint Domain?”

Walton said in surprise. Wharton knew that cultivation was difficult, even if he had an extremely high concentration of Dragon Blood Warrior bloodline, he was still at the eighth level. Transformation was also only at the peak of level nine.

Linley’s Dragon Blood Warrior bloodline concentration was even lower than his.

But if he dared to say that he had the power to defend himself, he would have to have reached the Saint realm at the very least.

“After transforming, the ground has indeed reached the Saint realm.”

Linley said with a smile.

Hillman and the housekeeper, Hillary, who were also at the table, looked at each other, and there was an excited glint in their eyes. The butler, ‘Hilly’, was even a little choked up with excitement as he said, “I’ve served the Baruch family for three generations, and the Baruch family has finally given birth to a Saint realm powerhouse.”

Holy Domain, that was a new level altogether.

A family that possessed a Saint Domain, as long as the Saint Domain didn’t die, the family would definitely not decline.

“Walden.”

Linley looked towards Walden, “I’ve been concerned about you even when I was in the Northwestern Province. You and that royal family’s seventh princess seem ……”

Walden nodded honestly, “Yes, brother. I’d love to marry Nina, but the situation is complicated right now, and that Kelan just gave up not long before Brummer popped up.”

Linley was on his way and already knew about this.

After all, right now in the imperial capital. Things about Wharton, Nina, and Brummer were spreading terribly.

“Brummer, this Brummer I heard people talking about him on the streets of the imperial capital, he seems to have become a personal disciple of the Martial God. And also Olivia’s younger brother.”

Linley said with a faint smile.

Walton nodded his head, a sadness on his brow, “Brother, you don’t know Olivia’s reputation in the O’Brien Empire. That Olivia is just too powerful, terrifyingly strong. Nine years ago. People just estimated that he possessed the strength of a peak Saint Domain. And nowadays …… I don’t know how terrifying it is.”

Linley patted Wharton’s shoulder, “Wharton, being demoralized by grown-ups destroys one’s own prestige.”

Walton nodded.

Next to him, the butler, Shiri, sighed, “Young Master Linley, you don’t live in the Imperial Capital. You may not be clear about the influence of the Martial God Sect. It’s the Imperial Emperor who treats the Martial God Sect’s personal disciples with great courtesy. A Martial God’s personal disciple has a very supreme status.”

Hillman solemnly said, “After all, the Imperial Emperor is already the descendant of the Martial God for more than a hundred generations, in terms of the Imperial Emperor. Among the successive emperors of the empire. Many emperors have never even seen the face of the Martial God in their entire lives. But what about the personal disciples of the God of Martial Arts? They are qualified to see the God of Martial Arts on a regular basis. Who’s close and who’s far away?”

It dawned on Linley in his heart.

It was also right.

It had been over a hundred generations, and the Martial God was, after all, Qiao An’s old ancestor from over five thousand years ago. More than five thousand years. The Martial God’s descendants didn’t know how many there were, and the Martial God was interested in the descendants of more than a hundred generations later. How could the feelings be too deep?

This could be seen simply by looking at the many Imperial Emperors who had never seen the Martial God once in their entire lives.

On the contrary, personal disciples were different. The Martial God also had personal guidance.

“It’s not that I’m growing others’ morale, it’s just that I’m really not too sure.”

Walton said bitterly, “I really don’t know what will happen to me if Nina is given in marriage to Brummer.”

Wharton couldn’t accept that outcome.

“If that what’s-his-name emperor dares to do that, a few of our brothers will directly snatch that imperial princess and give her to you as a woman.”

Gates said loudly.

The entire living room fell silent all of a sudden.

Walden looked at Gates in surprise and looked towards Linley, “Brother, this is?”

It was only at this time that Linley reacted to the fact that he had been too excited to meet up with his own earthly brother, and had only focused on talking non-stop with his brother, but had forgotten to introduce Sessler and the others.

“Haha ……”

Linley stood up, “Walden, let the servants all go down first. The attendants outside should all retire as well.”

Linley was already prepared to introduce all of his people to Walden and the others.

One’s own people, no need to hide anything.

“Understood.”

Although Walden didn’t know what Linley was trying to say, he immediately followed Linley’s orders and dismissed the servants and attendants.

Linley first walked over to the three sisters, Jenny and Rebecca, and sighed, “Walden, back then, our mothers were forcibly taken away by the Illuminati because of the purity of their souls. And Lina and Rebecca, it was also for the same reason.”

Walden’s heart was also touched when he heard this.

“I also saved them when I was in the Northwest Province. This is Jenny. Wharton, these three girls, you must treat them as if they were your elder and younger sisters.”

Linley instructed.

Wharton nodded.

“As for this …….”

Linley walked next to Sessler, and Walton and the others actually shuddered at the sight of Sessler’s heart. The mere sight of its skeleton-like figure and its eyes that glowed with green light made people terrified.

“This one. Is Mr. Sessler, the ninth level Undead Grand Magus, and the oldest amongst our group of people, who is already over eight hundred years old this year.”

As soon as Linley’s words fell, Walden, butler Hilly, Hillman, Nade, and the rest of them were astonished.

An undead magician, this was a legendary magician, and it was also a ninth level undead archmage. To know, this magician is much more difficult to cultivate than a warrior, the highest requirement for a magician is spiritual power. The highest requirement for a magician is spiritual power, while a warrior doesn’t have a high requirement for spiritual power.

For example, the spiritual power of an eighth level magician exceeded that of a holy domain warrior.

Sanctuary warriors at most had tougher mental strength, but when it came to numbers. A magician of the same rank would have a hundred times the spiritual power of a warrior of the same rank, or even more.

“Over eight hundred years old? I remember that the limit of human life is five hundred years old before the Holy Domain.”

Butler Hiri suddenly said.

The life of the Holy Realm was long and long, but those who were less than the Holy Realm. It was impossible to be more than five hundred years old.

“Haha ……”

Sessler’s old voice rang out, “You’re talking about normal people, I’ll tell you, magicians who cultivate the three top magics Great Prophecy, Life Magic, and Undead Magic all have extremely long lifespans. Among them, necromancers have the longest lifespan.”

Sessler gave the crowd an evil look, “If that old one of yours is dying, you can come find me. I’ll do it for Linley’s sake. I can completely help you guys convert into Corpse Demon bodies and live forever.”

Immortality?

This was the goal that countless people pursued. But the body of a Corpse Demon, just by listening to it, one could tell that it belonged to a type of ‘undead’.

Walden, Butler Healy, Hillman and the others could only squeeze out a smile. To an undead archdemon, they were still really a bit terrified.

“Sessler.”

Linley looked at Sessler in dissatisfaction.

Sessler’s eyes flashed with green light as he laughed, “Just kidding with your brother and the others. This conversion of a corpse-demon body isn’t that easy.”

Linley shook his head and walked over to the five Barker brothers.

“It’s finally our turn.”

Gates deliberately puffed out his chest, and Walden and the others’ eyes glowed. Each of the five Barker brothers had caught up to Wharton’s height and were much stronger than Wharton. Especially unloading the five giant axes placed aside. Obviously super heavy weapons.

“Wharton. The Amanda family, have you heard of it?”

Linley looked to his brother.

“The Amanda family? Could it be the Immortal Warrior family?”

Walton said with a twinkle in his eye.

Linley nodded in satisfaction, “Right. Barker, Anke, Black Shark, Boone, and Gates, the five of them are the sons of the Amanda family, and all five of them, they’re all undead warriors.”

“All undead warriors?”

Walton was shocked, and next to him, Hillary and Hillman were also shocked.

Being a descendant of the Amanda family, and being an undead warrior, those were two different concepts.

After all, such as Hogg, although he was a Dragon Blood Warrior family scion, he was not a Dragon Blood Warrior. It was very difficult for a genius with an Ultimate Warrior Transformation to appear in an Ultimate Warrior family.

“Right.”

Linley nodded.

The five Barker brothers were also proud to see the surprised expressions on Walton’s and their faces.

“The Amanda Clan declined so badly that even the Immortal Secret Code was lost, but fortunately, Lord Hisser helped.”

Linley lamented, “Walden, of Buck and their five brothers, Buck, Anke, as well as Gates, can all have reached rank nine. The other two are also at the peak of rank eight.”

“Ninth level!”

Walton was stunned.

“Brother, what do you mean?”

“Yes. The three of them, after transforming, have the same strength of a Saint Domain.”

Linley said with a smile.

A hot current of excitement and thrill surged through the hearts of Walton, Hillman, the butler Hilly, and Nade. Originally, knowing that Linley possessed the strength of a Saint realm was exciting, but they hadn’t expected that three more Saint realms would pop up at once.

Four Saint realms!

What a terrifying power.

Bottom line!

Full of stamina, originally Walden was worried about how to fight with Brummer and the others. But now that big brother came with a group of people, Wharton was like a beggar violently possessing billions of gold coins.

“Lord Hogg, did you see it, did you see it?”

Hillman said excitedly and continuously.

If Hogg was still around and saw this scene today, he would definitely be very happy.

“Walden, this is a magical beast I took in at the Magical Beast Mountain Range, called ‘Blackru’, Blackru, say hello to everyone.”

Linley said with a smile.

Originally lying on the ground, the black-striped clouded leopard stood up, its ghostly cold eyes looking towards Walton and the others, but its mouth emitted a human language, “Heilu, meet you all.”

Walton looked at Linley in surprise, “Big brother, this magical beast, this magical beast just now-”

“Yes, a holy realm magical beast.”

Linley nodded.

Walton, Hillman, Shiri, Nade and the others’ throats all twitched, goodness, magical beasts could inherently have an advantage over humans, a holy realm magical beast, usually only a peak holy realm human powerhouse could defeat the ground.

Even if Linley himself was a Saint realm, the magical beasts were all Saint realms.

“Hmph.”

A cold snort sounded, and several of Walton’s people immediately looked towards the source of the sound, which was none other than Beibei next to Linley, who was raising his small head.

“Bebe.”

Walton was very affectionate when he saw the familiar Bebe, Bebe had after all been with Linley for a very long time, back in his childhood, Walton had also frolicked with Bebe, “Bebe, how does it feel to be with a holy realm magical beast, do you worship him?”

Bebe glared at Walton and said loudly, “Walton, you brat! What kind of magical beast am I, Bebe? Even if this guy, Heilu, reaches the Holy Realm, he’s no match for me, Bebe.”

“Ah!”

Walton and a few others were as if they had seen a ghost. They could still accept that that mysterious panther-type magical beast being a holy realm magical beast, but Bebe was with Linley, and they had seen it back then.

That cute little Shadowmouse back then was actually all Saint Domain now as well.

“Bebe is indeed stronger than me.”

A low human language also came out of the black-striped cloud panther ‘Blackru”s mouth.

Bei Bei’s little brain band raised even higher, and his eyes were full of color.
