120: Chapter 120 The Four Divine Beasts Family!
Youlan Prefecture.
The Prefect's Castle.
"Trouble?"
Hearing Beirut's words,
Allen couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
According to the original plot,
at this point in time, Linley should have been doing extremely well in the Four Divine Beasts Clan.
Could it be that his own appearance had caused a butterfly effect?
That made sense.
Even a character like Adkins, who was supposed to have died at Beirut's hands, had gone to hunt down Linley.
It was only normal for some changes to occur in the current Four Divine Beasts Clan!
"Alright."
Allen didn't hesitate and agreed immediately.
"I also want to see how this old friend of mine is doing now."
He also happened to want to stretch his wings through some actual action.
With the strength of a Great Perfection, he had to find some unlucky bastard to test his blade on.
The two of them hit it off immediately.
Without alerting anyone in Youlan Prefecture,
Beirut directly released a pitch-black metallic lifeform.
"Let's go."
The two of them stepped into the metallic lifeform.
Boom!
The metallic lifeform turned into a streak of black lightning, instantly tearing through the clouds.
At an incredible speed, it shot wildly in the direction of the Tianji Mountain Range.
Inside the metallic lifeform.
Beirut looked at the scenery rapidly receding outside the window, his eye twitching slightly.
This speed was too fast.
It was even a bit faster than when he controlled it himself.
This metallic lifeform was currently being controlled by Allen.
A Great Perfection-level Soul power, coupled with the enhancement of Willpower,
made even their traveling speed reach an inconceivable level.
"What a freak."
Beirut muttered inwardly in complaint.
Meanwhile,
hundreds of millions of miles away.
In the Tianji Mountain Range, the headquarters of the Four Divine Beasts Clan.
Within the valley where the Yulan branch resided, an extremely oppressive atmosphere permeated the air.
In the spacious hall,
Linley's eyes were blood-red, like a beast driven into a corner.
He clenched his fists tightly, his nails sinking deep into his flesh as blood dripped down through his fingers onto the expensive carpet.
"Grand Elder..."
"Is there really no other way?"
Linley's voice was terribly hoarse, filled with deep despair.
Before him,
the Grand Elder of the Four Divine Beasts Clan had a face as dark as water.
This super expert who shook Hell was currently also full of helplessness and exhaustion.
"Linley, it's not that we won't save her."
The Grand Elder sighed, looking towards an ice bed at the inner side of the hall.
On the ice bed,
Delia lay there quietly.
Her face was as pale as paper, without a single trace of color.
Strands of bizarre black airflow constantly swam across her forehead.
That was an extremely vicious Soul poison,
frantically devouring Delia's already weak Soul fire.
"That is the Soul-Perishing Powder, specially made by the Edrick Clan of The Eight Great Clans."
The Grand Elder's voice carried a deep sense of powerlessness.
"This poison specifically targets the Soul."
"Once it enters the body, it clings like maggots on a rotting bone, tightly entangling the victim's Soul Origin."
"To remove the poison, the savior must possess extremely delicate Soul control."
"Furthermore, their strength must far exceed that of the poisoner."
The Grand Elder shook her head.
"The person who administered the poison is a Peak Seven-Star Fiend Elder of the Edrick Clan."
"Even if I were to act, I wouldn't have absolute certainty in extracting the poison without harming Delia's Soul."
The Grand Elder's words were like a heavy hammer, smashing fiercely against Linley's chest.
Even the Grand Elder has no way?
Linley felt the world spinning around him.
His legs gave way, and he actually knelt directly before the Grand Elder.
"Grand Elder, I beg of you!"
Linley kowtowed repeatedly with loud thuds.
"As long as Delia can be saved, I'll do anything!"
"I will go fight on the front lines! I will join the suicide squad!"
"I will sell my life to the Family!"
"Please, save her!"
Looking at Linley's state,
the other Family Elders in the hall all turned their heads away, unable to bear the sight.
Linley was a peerless Genius who had recently risen in the Family.
In his Dragonform state, he could even contend with a Seven-Star Fiend.
No one wanted to see him break down like this.
But reality was just that cruel.
Under the Edrick Clan's despicable scheme, Delia's life hung by a thread.
"Boss!"
A sobbing voice rang out.
Bebe rushed in from outside.
The straw hat on his head was askew, and his eyes were red.
Bebe pulled Linley up from the ground.
"Boss, don't be like this!"
Bebe glared at those Family Elders with gritted teeth.
"If you can't save her, I'll go find my Grandpa!"
"My Grandpa will definitely have a way!"
Bebe's words brought a glimmer of hope to Linley's hollow eyes.
Lord Beirut.
That unfathomable Prefect of Youlan.
He would definitely have a way.
The Grand Elder gave a bitter laugh.
"Bebe."
"Youlan Prefecture is extremely far from the Tianji Mountain Range."
"Even if you notify Lord Beirut now,"
"by the time he arrives, Delia probably won't be able to hold on anymore."
The Grand Elder pointed at Delia on the ice bed.
"The black Qi at her forehead is already about to spread to her entire body."
"In three days at most, her Soul will completely dissipate."
"Three days!"
Linley felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his entire body froze in place.
In just three days, how could anyone rush over from Youlan Prefecture?
Even if they traveled in the highest-grade metallic lifeform the entire way, it would still take several months.
Despair.
Utter despair.
Linley stumbled and threw himself before the ice bed.
He grasped Delia's cold hand, and tears could no longer be held back as they welled up and flowed.
"Delia..."
"I'm sorry, it's my fault for not protecting you well..."
Linley bit his lip tightly, a trace of blood seeping out.
He hated!
He hated the despicableness of The Eight Great Clans.
And he hated his own weakness even more.
If he were a Great Perfection, if he were an Asura...
Who would dare scheme against his wife like this!
The atmosphere in the hall dropped to freezing point.
No one noticed that high in the sky above the Tianji Mountain Range,
a streak of black lightning was crashing down towards the valley at a terrifying speed that ignored spatial distance.
This lightning did not cause any fluctuations of Law, yet it was so fast that even an expert of the Grand Elder's level didn't notice it at all.
That was the extreme speed belonging to a Great Perfection.
Boom!
It was only when the metallic lifeform appeared in the sky above the valley
that the people in the valley noticed something was wrong.
"Who is it?"
"An enemy attack?"
"Who is causing trouble?"
"...
Everyone cast their gazes towards the metallic lifeform.
Some hot-headed clansmen of the Four Divine Beasts Clan even directly activated their transformations and charged towards the metallic lifeform.
However,
before they could even get close to the metallic lifeform,
a scorching aura permeated from within the metallic lifeform.
All the experts charging towards the metallic lifeform were instantly blown ten miles away.
Seeing this,
the faces of everyone in the valley all revealed expressions of shock.
One had to know,
among that group of experts earlier, there were actually two Seven-Star Fiends.
Even experts at the level of Seven-Star Fiends had no power to resist at all!
Just what Realm had the expert inside that metallic lifeform reached?
The world written by Yi Qu Cang Bai, all in 'Coiling Dragon: Heaven Rewards Diligence, I Rely on Effort to Transcend'.
In just three days, how could anyone rush over from Youlan Prefecture?
Even if they traveled in the highest-grade metallic lifeform the entire way, it would still take several months.
