Chapter 324 Wolf Fang
Hours to Dr3713-05-03, 8 p.m.
As night fell, starlight flickered. In an ancient European manor in the center of Silver City No. 13, a sumptuous dinner was being held.
Brandon Peter was in a good mood that night, and he opened an expensive bottle of Pope’s Cognac and drank it. During the banquet, the second great-great-grandson came over and whispered, “Great-grandfather, do you really think Mu Yuqin’s heart can marry me? I heard that she has already reached the realm of psionic energy release, two levels higher than me …”
Brandon laughed heartily. Then, he touched his great-grandson’s head and said affectionately, “Of course, you are a member of our Peter family. If you really care about it, she might not be worthy of you.”
“That’s great! Thank you, great grandfather!” Brandon’s second great-great-grandson said happily.
At the same time, in a hospital a few kilometers away, Colin Burns was sitting in front of the hospital bed, holding his great-great-grandson’s hand and comforting him softly.
“My precious great-grandson, that little girl will come to apologize to you very soon.” Colin said with a smile.
“I don’t want her! I don’t want to see her! Don’t let her come! She’s a devil!” The patient lying on the bed cried out in horror. He had already been frightened out of his wits by Mu Yu Ling Lan. As long as he heard this name, he would lose control of his emotions.
“What are you afraid of! With your great-grandfather here, what else can she do to you? Let me tell you, the Rain Prayer Sacrificial Priest is dead, and she has no backing.” Colin hurriedly comforted.
“Really? She won’t hit me again?” The patient asked softly.
“Little girl hasn’t reached the Saint realm yet. She’s still not a match for your great-grandfather.” Colin said confidently. However, he was only bragging. According to his understanding, Mu Yu Ling Lan’s psionic talent was extremely high and her fighting style was extremely fierce. If she really fought, he might not be her match. If he hadn’t seized this opportunity to replace the old with the new, he really wouldn’t have been able to do anything to her.
“Oh …” The patient answered as if he had suddenly realized something. After thinking for a moment, his expression darkened and he shouted, “What’s the use of her apologizing! I can’t even stand up anymore!”
“She’s not just here to apologize …” Colin said meaningfully.
“Then what is she doing here?” The patient asked with a frown.
Colin looked at his great-grandson and smiled without saying a word.
“Great Grandpa, hurry up and say it. Please.” The patient softened his tone and pleaded.
Colin laughed and mysteriously said, “She’s here” He deliberately lengthened his voice and finally said, “She gave birth to your baby.”
“Ah!” The patient cried out in alarm, and then his face revealed ecstasy. He grabbed the old man’s sleeve and asked excitedly, “Really? Is that true? Great-grandfather, are you lying to me? Is that true?”
“Of course it’s true.” Colin said with a smile.
“I… I… I…” For a moment, the patient was so excited that he was speechless. After being stunned for a while, he suddenly slapped himself fiercely and whispered, “Is this true? Am I dreaming? Am I already in heaven … Wuuuuuuu …” As he spoke, he began to sob.
“My dear great-grandson, this is true. Great-grandpa didn’t lie to you. Not only did she have to give birth to a baby for you, she also had to give birth to many, many babies. She wanted to form a basketball team. Oh … no, form a football team …” Colin held his great-grandson’s hand tightly and said emotionally.
“Including the bench members?” The patient raised his head and asked with tears in his eyes. Even at such an exciting time, he did not forget to fight for more “benefits” for himself.
“Of course, that’s the most basic! We still need the reserve team, the youth team …” Colin swore firmly.
“Great! Thank you, great grandpa. Great grandpa treats me best.” The patient said excitedly.
Just as the Burns family’s grandfather and grandson were excited, the Leylin family’s house was quieter than usual. At this moment, Morton Leylin was pacing back and forth in the study, looking a little restless.
After a while, he suddenly stopped and said to the old butler, “Old friend, I always feel that something is wrong.”
“Master, what kind of problem are you referring to?” The old butler asked.
‘”Mu Yu Ling Lan is a woman who is more cunning than a fox, more sinister than a snake, and more ferocious than a lion. How can she just sit there and wait to die? She is willing to be slaughtered by others. She is the kind of person who has never suffered a single loss since childhood. Even when she dies, she will bite a piece of her opponent’s flesh.”
“Yes, that’s true.” The old butler nodded in agreement.
“But, what will she do? What trump card does she have? Logically speaking, she should have nothing. She is an orphan and has no family behind her. Other than us, she can’t get enough support for herself unless …” Morton pondered for a moment, but did not continue.
“What bargaining chip does she have to force us to support her? For example, what evidence does she have that could threaten us” The old butler continued to analyze.
“I understand!” Morton suddenly raised his head, widened his eyes, and cried out in fear, “Wolf Fang Prison!” Thinking of this, he immediately pointed at the old butler and ordered, “Quick! Quickly notify Brandon and Colin! Otherwise, it will be too late!”
However, as he said, it was too late …
By the time the three Saint-ranked experts of Silver City 13 arrived, Wolf Fang Prison had already fallen. Looking around, the corpses of the guards were lying on the ground, and the rest of them were under control.
At this moment, a group of fully armed psionic warriors stood in front of the prison gate. They were tall and steady, standing there like a wall made of steel.
“Who are you? Which faction do you belong to? Why are you attacking Silver City 13? Do you want to start a war?” Brandon took a magnificent step forward and asked in a deep voice. The voice was incomparably loud and clear, causing one’s eardrums to ache.
However, no one answered his question. They just stood there, as steady as a rock.
“Since you guys aren’t willing to reveal your intentions, don’t blame us for being too ruthless.” As soon as he finished speaking, Brandon’s eyes shone with blue light, and a powerful wave of air immediately surged in all directions, causing the surrounding objects to float up into the air.
Morton, who had been observing his opponent from the back, hurriedly stepped forward to stop the saint-ranked lightning attack. “Wait! They are all Temple Iron Guards. Ask them clearly before fighting.” In this world, only the Iron Guards possessed such a temperament.
Brandon immediately put away his momentum and shouted, “Which one of you is in charge? Come out and talk!”
“I am.” Eugene immediately stepped out of the crowd and took off his helmet, revealing his signature silver hair. Since his identity had been exposed, there was nothing to hide. Moreover, their chances of winning against the three Saint Rankers were very low. If they really started fighting, they would still suffer.
“As the Iron Guards of the Temple, you interfere in the internal affairs of Notre Dame. Aren’t you afraid that we will complain?” Brandon asked.
“This” Eugene hesitated.
“Stop asking. They are stalling for time.” Morton looked at Eugene and said, “Lombar brat, I’m asking for a strength conversion.”
“No problem, but I need to consult my superiors first.” Eugene said. The “strength conversion” proposed by the other party was an established rule among the nobles of Silver City in order to avoid unnecessary combat casualties. It was to compare the strengths of the two sides directly, estimate the outcome of the battle, and use this to distribute the benefits after the war.
“Sure, but the time has to start from now on.” Morton glanced at his watch. It was eight forty-two. Then he added, “Also, I suggest you don’t exceed ten minutes. This is the maximum time you can stop us.”
Seeing this, Eugene immediately switched on the communication function and connected to You Ge’s voice. After a brief discussion, Eugene hung up and said to Morton, “Fifteen minutes is our bottom line.”
“What a joke! Why did you stop us for fifteen minutes?” Colin took a step forward and shouted.
“This is the bottom line. If it doesn’t work, then let’s fight.” Eugene said unwillingly.
Colin narrowed his eyes and was about to explode when Brandon patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, “Old friend, give them fifteen minutes. I believe a few minutes won’t change anything.” Colin nodded and retreated behind Brandon.
At eight fifty-seven, the Iron Guard retreated to both sides, making way for the road. The three Saint Rankers immediately turned into meteors and charged into the dimly lit Wolf Fang Prison.
“Friend,” Eugene muttered to himself, “I can only help you this far.”
About twenty minutes ago …
Just as the three Saint Rankers of Silver City were rushing to Wolf Fang Prison, Muyu Ling Lan rushed all the way to the cell where Hui Yan Northess was being held and knocked lightly on the wooden door.
“Who?” A deep voice came from inside.
“I am Mu Yu Ling Lan, the successor of the Divine Rain Prayer Palace. I came here to ask for your help.” Mu Yu Ling Lan said respectfully.
“I don’t know you. You can leave.” A voice that sounded like substance came from the thick wooden door.
“But I know a descendant of yours. His name is Tie Zha Northess.” Mu Yu Ling Lan said calmly.
After a moment of silence, another voice sounded, “How do you prove it?”
“Let me in. If you are truly an Origin Energy Cultivator, you will be able to sense it.”
Before she could finish her sentence, the thick wooden door opened. A tall and sturdy old man was standing at the door, his eyes shining with a resplendent purple light.
In the dark, Hui Yan felt a trace of kindness in this strange girl’s body. It came from the resonance of the bloodline, from the affinity of the soul. In an instant, the limestone senses interweaved, and the rims of its eyes immediately turned red. He excitedly grabbed the girl’s shoulder and asked in a trembling voice, “Where … where … did that child called Tie Zha grow up?”
“It’s right below us, Tieshan Town.” Mu Yu Ling Lan looked at the old man and replied softly.
Upon hearing the whereabouts of the last grandson, Hui Yan immediately burst into tears. Then he slowly knelt down, facing the north. Then, he put his hands together and said sincerely, “Thank you for the protection of our ancestors, thank you for the mercy of the heavens. Another Northas escaped the calamity and grew up.”
Looking at this old man who was imprisoned and wrapped in iron chains, who had never seen the light of day all year round, but had always missed his descendants, Mu Yu Ling Lan, who had always been cold and indifferent, could no longer control her emotions, and tears immediately gushed out of her eyes.
She stepped forward to support the old man’s arm and sobbed, “Grandfather, Tie Zha is living a very good life. He is very happy and very safe. Please rest assured …”
