Within the hotel at the end of the Greenleaf Road, Yale and a group of people were waiting.
“Young master. His Majesty suffered an attack from some sort of demonic creature at Lord Linley’s manor. Right now, many palace guards as well as the warriors of many noble clans have gone to protect his Majesty.” A golden-haired man in front of Yale said respectfully.
Yale was startled.
He knew that Linley wanted to kill Clayde, and now, Clayde was the target of an assassination attempt. Nine out of ten, this had something to do with Linley.
“I wonder if this so-called ‘demonic creature’ is actually Third Bro.” Yale began to worry.
But Yale could only wait here quietly. He had no other options. Shortly afterwards, another report came. “Young master Yale, that demonic creature has begun a wild slaughterfest. Too many people have died. Lord Linley’s manor has become a river of blood, and is littered with corpses.”
Yale secretly felt shocked.
“Third Bro is really formidable. But I don’t know if Third Bro will be able to escape in the end.” Yale could only continue to wait.
One report after another continued to come.
“Young master Yale, that demonic monster’s violet sword is far too powerful. Wherever that violet flash appears, death follows. Countless people have died within the manor. Of the palace guards, many platoons and even entire companies have been wiped out.”
Upon hearing this, Yale became even more certain.
“A violet sword? Could it be that Bloodviolet sword?” Yale, Reynolds, and George all knew that Linley was in possession of a Bloodviolet Godblade. In particular, Yale suddenly recollected something about Linley’s clan. “The Baruch clan is the clan of the Dragonblood Warriors. Can it be that Linley transformed into a Dragonblood Warrior?”
The so-called ‘demonic creature’ could very well be Linley after having transformed into a Dragonblood Warrior.
Thinking about how his beloved bro was currently being attacked by thousands of men and beasts and was engaging in a wild battle, Yale couldn’t help but worry even more.
“Third Bro!”
Yale’s fists clenched, relaxed, clenched, relaxed. All of the people present could sense his nervousness.
“Young master Yale. His Holiness, the Holy Emperor appeared. He heavily injured that demonic creature, and it has already been dragged back to the Radiant Temple.” The final report came back. Yale’s face turned white, devoid of all blood.
Upon hearing the words, “His Holiness, the Holy Emperor appeared”, Yale knew that things had just gone from bad to worse.
“Squeak squeak!” A black blur suddenly appeared within the hotel.
“Bebe.” Seeing this Shadowmouse, Yale instantly ran over to it.
“Bebe. Where is Third Bro?” Yale immediately looked at Bebe, asking desperately.
The little Shadowmouse, Bebe, didn’t have any of his usual exuberance. He only stared at Yale, then lowered his head and let out a few dejected squeaks. Yale could sense the grief and pain hidden within Bebe’s eyes. Although Bebe was a magical beast, his intelligence was no lower than that of a human.
“Swish.” Bebe’s body flickered, and he suddenly disappeared from in front of Yale.
Yale was startled.
“Young master Yale.” A nearby person said softly.
“Go back. Go find my Second Uncle.” Yale suddenly rose to his feet and issued orders to his men.
Within one of the more secluded private rooms on the ninth floor of the Radiant Temple. Linley had been tossed inside the room like a dying dog. For Linley to be imprisoned within the Radiant Temple was actually still a testament to how highly the Radiant Church valued Linley.
The Radiant Temple was the heart of the Radiant Church.
This was a place which even Saint-level combatants dared not to trespass into.
“Ah.” All the scales on Linley’s body had already retracted back inside. Currently, Linley’s body was covered with blood, and he had more than ten visible wounds. These wounds were all caused by the Holy Emperor, Heidens. His visible wounds were very serious. But his internal wounds were even worse.
The bones of all four of his limbs had been broken. Linley could only grit his teeth as he tried to force his body to move, but all he could accomplish was resting his head against the wall.
“Linley.”
Doehring Cowart flew out of the Coiling Dragon ring. He looked at Linley, and his eyes were filled with affection and helplessness.
“Grandpa Doehring.” Linley looked at Doehring Cowart.
Doehring Cowart sighed mentally towards Linley. “Linley, do you feel any regret?”
“Regret?”
Linley shook his head. “No. In fact, in this life, I have only two desires. The first is to reclaim the lost glory of my clan. The second is to reach the highest pinnacle of power and training that I can reach. But if I do not gain my revenge, I probably won’t even be able to sleep well. I would be in torment my entire life.”
Doehring Cowart nodded. He could understand Linley’s frame of mind.
“I lost. Haha. I lost.”
Linley laughed lightly. His entire body hurt. Right now, most likely any person at all could easily trample him.
He lost!
As soon as the Holy Emperor had appeared, Linley knew.
He lost. And losing meant death.
Linley had been aware of this long ago. In this world, many people died every day. Linley never believed that it was impossible for him to die.
“Linley, you probably won’t die.” Doehring Cowart said.
“Huh?” Linley looked questioningly at Doehring Cowart.
Doehring Cowart laughed calmly. “If that Holy Emperor wanted to kill you, he would’ve killed you long ago. How could it be that he would have acted against you several times, yet still spared your life? In addition…you haven’t considered the fact that most likely, a ruler of a kingdom holds less attraction for him than you do.”
Linley suddenly began to understand a bit.
“The second greatest genius magus in all of history, someone likely to become a Saint-level Grand Magus. And now, the Holy Emperor has discovered that you are a Dragonblood Warrior as well. Most likely, he would be all the more reluctant to kill you now. The Dragonblood Warriors are one of the Supreme Warriors. Upon entering the Saint-level, you will definitely be one of the most powerful Saint-level combatants. In terms of attack power alone, you definitely won’t be any inferior to the Holy Emperor himself!” Doehring Cowart said with certainty
