As they flew in midair, Linley directly began to search using his divine sense.
“Southeast.” Linley quickly discovered the nearest Saint. “This Saint’s aura is very unique, and his appearance is also strange. He isn’t human.”
“Let’s find him then.” A cold, fierce look flashed through Desri’s eyes. “Hrmph. There is a better than 90% chance that these Saints from other planes obey the commands of that hidden Deity. If they didn’t engage in slaughter, there is no way they would be able to live so comfortably in the Rohault Empire.”
Linley nodded slightly.
If this person wasn’t willing to be in cahoots with that Deity, he most likely would have fled long ago. How could he still be staying in the Rohault Empire?
Linley and Desri flew straight towards that foreign Saint at high speed.
A skinny, black-skinned man with a turban around his head was currently lying comfortably upon a reclining chair. Next to him were beautiful maids who were respectfully holding platters of fruit out to him. The skinny man had a hint of a smile on his face, but these maids were extremely nervous.
They all knew that their master’s temper was very bizarre. Although he was laughing very merrily right now, sometimes he would brutally begin to whip and abuse them.
“This sort of life is wonderful.” The black-skinned man let out a sigh of content.
He had arrived in the Yulan continent plane four years ago. His life in the Yulan continent was thousands of times more enjoyable than it had been in the Gebados Planar Prison. In that place, he was a low level person, but here in the Yulan continent, he easily controlled the lives and deaths of others.
“I came a bit later. Many of those fellows arrived six years ago.” The skinny man actually felt a bit dissatisfied.
In the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, that fog shrouded valley was a place where reality was unstable. Generally speaking, Demigods were capable of ripping through space and arriving at the Yulan continent. Even just Saints by themselves were capable of ripping open that tear and arriving in the Yulan continent, if eight of them joined forces.
“Um, you, come over.” The skinny man’s gaze swept towards a nearby serving maid.
That serving maid instantly knelt down respectfully, raising the fruit platter up high. Only now did that skinny man happily take a piece of fruit, gnawing it contentedly. In his heart, he said to himself, “Who would’ve thought that I, Bloom [Bu’long], would also be able to enjoy these things. In the Gebados Planar Prison, fruits were things which only Deities could enjoy.”
Only when there was a contrast would one know how lucky one was.
Only after one had lost something did one know how to treasure it!
Bloom, in his original plane, had been a major figure as well, but when he had power, he didn’t care too much about it.
After having been trapped in Gebados for so long though, he had learned how to enjoy power.
“Huh?” Bloom’s eyes suddenly realized that two people had appeared within the main hall. Bloom was instantly terrified. He was a Prime Saint, but these two had appeared in his main hall out of nowhere. He stared at them, only to find…
Bloom suddenly rose to his feet.
“Milords, who are you?” Bloom’s attitude was extremely respectful.
Bloom had a strange feeling, as though he had once more returned to Gebados. This was the feeling he got when facing a Deity; that he had to be extremely subservient. The people in front of Bloom were Linley and Desri.
“What is Master…” The serving maids were shocked. They had personally witnessed how powerful their master was.
“Let them leave.” Desri spoke.
Bloom immediately looked at those serving maids, urging them to leave with his gaze. The maids nervously, carefully left. While leaving, all of them secretly glanced at Linley and Desri with curiosity and fear.
What sort of a person could cause their master to be so terrified?
“We are from the Yulan plane.” Linley spoke.
Bloom was stunned.
But in the next instant, he realized what this man wearing a sky-blue robe meant. Clearly, they already knew where he was from.
“You should know what our trip here is regarding, yes?” Linley and Desri’s expressions were cold.
Bloom’s heart shook. Could it be….?
Bloom forced out a smile. “Milords, I don’t know why…”
“Hrmph.” Linley let out a cold, angry snort. “Don’t tell me you don’t know what has been happening during this period of time in the Rohault Empire. Speak. Which Deity directed the deaths of those hundred million people from behind the scene?”
Bloom’s heart lurched. He wanted to speak, but he didn’t dare to. He knew exactly how terrifying that Deity was.
“Milords, I’m only a Prime Saint. How would I…”
“WHAP!”
A palm slapped directly on Bloom’s face, who was knocked flying away like a ripped sandbag, spewing blood everywhere. Even several of his teeth fell out. His body spun in midair several times before collapsing to the ground.
“So fast.” Bloom was secretly amazed. He didn’t even see the move being made.
Linley glanced at Bloom coldly, then said calmly, “If you don’t tell us, you will die right now. If you do tell us…that Deity might not necessarily kill you.”
“Milords, I’ll tell, I’ll tell.” In front of Linley and Desri, Bloom didn’t dare to put on any airs at all. He immediately said, “This affair of killing many humans and collecting their souls was done completely at the direction of Lord Beaumont.”
“Beaumont?” Linley and Desri exchanged a glance.
Yet another foreign name.
Yet another Deity!
Desri said coldly, “Beaumont. I imagine that this Beaumont wouldn’t personally go kill the humans, right?”
Bloom hesitated slightly, but upon hearing Linley’s cold snort, he hurriedly said, “Of course Lord Beaumont wouldn’t personally act. He ordered many Saints to go act on his behalf. Everyone who helped Lord Beaumont would receive some benefits.” Bloom now somewhat realized that these men in front of him most likely were looking to make trouble for Beaumont.
“Many Saints. I imagine you were amongst them.” Desri sneered.
“No, not, not me.” Bloom hurriedly said. Bloom was terrified that these people would instantly kill him in fury. How would he dare admit to participating?
Linley let out a cold laugh. Actually, this topic was entirely pointless. After all, they hadn’t been present.
“Fine. I’ll ask you. Where is Beaumont?” Linley barked.
Bloom shook his head, lost.
“Hm?” Linley’s face changed, and he stared at Bloom coldly. “It seems you really are quite loyal to Beaumont.”
Bloom’s face changed dramatically. He hurriedly said, “I really don’t know. Milords, I’m telling the truth. I only know one thing. Lord Beaumont usually doesn’t live at the Yulan continent. He lives in the boundless seas.”
Linley and Desri glanced at each other, both feeling that the situation just grew tricky.
The seas?
Although Linley had absorbed twenty million soul essences and his divine sense was powerful, Linley’s divine sense still only encapsulated an area of ten thousand kilometers. In the Yulan continent, that was fairly large. But in the endless seas, it was nothing at all. In addition, who knew if Beaumont was on the surface of the ocean, or in the bottom?
“How do you usually communicate?” Desri snapped.
“We don’t communicate…” Bloom said hurriedly.
