Book 21, The Peak – Chapter 23, Twelve-Winged Angel

“Hey, Grandpa Beirut, why are the four clan leaders here?” Linley looked towards Beirut, puzzled

Linley’s divine sense had easily detected that Gislason and the rest of the four ithin his estate Only, there were in the east gardens of the estate

“Oh, about that…” Beirut said aardly “Linley, when you went to kill Augusta, I thought that this matter would be resolved without a hitch And I also knew…that Gislason and the others had alanted to take revenge for their four ancestors Thus, I told them in advance, so as to let them be happy about this”

Linley was stunned He didn’t knohether to laugh or to cry

“Are they…waiting for h or do…so twice “After I told them, they were extremely excited They simply couldn’t wait, so they decided to stay in your estate, so that they could iuards and theyou return, have already infor soon”

Without a quiet hall

Gislason and the Verer Patriarch was frowning and pacing back and forth, while the Black Tortoise Patriarch was standing at the doorway, anxiousness in his eyes

“Elder Brother, ill Linley return?” The Black Tortoise Patriarch couldn’t help but turn and speak in a deep, boons move extremely quickly Based onthere at the doorway and sit down Caled

“How can I possibly sit down at a time like this?” The Black Tortoise Patriarch had a hint of impatience on his face Clearly, he was quite frustrated and uneasy

The Vermillion Bird Matriarch, seated next to Gislason, let out a helpless chuckle “Elder Brother, stop criticizing Third Brother Even I, sitting here, don’t feel calns are extremely fast, and so today he will definitely return I wonder if Linley was able to succeed or not”

“Lord Beirut said it himself” Gislason said “Given Lord Beirut’s te he wasn’t confident of?”

“Right” The others all acknowledged this

Despite that, however, the four clan leaders still felt nervousness in their hearts

“Patriarch, Patriarch” Right at this h speed

“Whoosh!”

Gislason and the Vermillion Bird Matriarch all suddenly stood up, and the four clan leaders looked towards theover The maid called out hurriedly from afar, “Lord Linley has returned! He is at Lord Beirut’s estate!”

“Swoosh!”

Streaks of light flashed past, and the four figures disappeared froe tree Next to the stone table Linley and Beirut were currently seated, facing each other

“They are coh

“This is all ned, aard chuckle “To be honest, I still don’t understand The Chief Sovereign of Light is a Chief Sovereign, but not a Paragon How could it be that his poas ten tiht Plane has never won ten consecutive rounds in the Planar Wars”

“Unless…Augusta has a Sovereign clone” This was Beirut’s judg time, but could only come to this conclusion as well

But this seemed to be impossible

“The chances are quite low” Linley shook his head “I’ve le one of theht If the Chief Sovereign of Light had a Sovereign clone, how could he possibly ns? The Chief Sovereigns of Death and Destruction were born with the creation of the planes theht be fooled, those tould not”

Beirut nodded as well

What, exactly, was the reason for the Chief Sovereign of Light to be more than ten times as powerful as they had predicted?

“Linley!” A frantic voice rang out

Linley turned to look He saw four streaks of light surge forward, then solidify into four figures It was Gislason and the other three clan leaders The stable, reliable Gislason; the grient Vermillion Bird Matriarch; the taciturn, reserved Black Tortoise Patriarch All of theer eyes

“Has the Chief Sovereign of Light been killed?” The Vermillion Bird Matriarch couldn’t help but ask

Linley and Beirut shared a glance, and then Linley laughed bitterly “Gislason, I’ve disappointed you I wasn’t able to kill Augusta!”

Linley didn’t explain further

Gislason and the other three were stunned And then, they let out forlorn, aard smiles

“Linley” Gislason bowed “I know that for Lord Beirut to tell us about it ree of confidence This time was a failure…we very much would like to know, Lord Linley, will you kill the Chief Sovereign of Light in the future?” The other three clan leaders immediately looked towards Linley
