Chapter 435: Great Deception

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After several Strength Angels sneaked into the City Lord's manor quietly, they started walking around carefully.

“Sir Powell, where should we go?” The Strength Angel in the front was hiding in a grove, and he watched the innumerable buildings, as well as the soldiers who patrolled with a torch in their hands. He didn't know where he should go, and he turned his head around to ask for instructions from the team's leader.

After the scope of the City Lord's manor was expanded greatly, it occupied more than a third of the Inner City's expanse, and there were many gardens and buildings in it, while it still had the Formation of Nine Palaces and Eight Divination Trigrams. It wasn't just hostile intruders that would get lost here, as even newly arrived manor's servants would sometimes get lost as they walked around here.

“Let's go, and proceed toward the brightest region. If this didn't work, we just have to capture several servants, and interrogate them about all sides of the situation.” Leader Powell pa.s.sed down an order, before he stopped for a moment, and said, “You should all bear this in mind, don't ever attack without my permission, while you are also not allowed to transform and spread your wings. You must surely hide your body's Energy Ripples.”

A commotion had already arisen among the Church's upper-echelon members because they didn't get any news from Fabris for three days in a row, and since Powell was a Strength Angel, he got to learn such shocking news before heading off. Even the powerful Fabris might have died, so it could be easily imagined how terrifying was the power hidden by the Magical Beast Realm. Powell didn't want to follow Fabris's footsteps!

They had taken such a trip just to investigate Fabris's whereabouts, and get info about the power hidden by the Magical Beast Realm. Their mission was limited to just this, and even though he had already sneaked into the heavily-guarded City Lord's manor, he still didn't forget Wilbur's command.

The Strength Angels were the City Amongst the Clouds' main force that was used for foreign battles, and they possessed great power. Their power was at least at the level of a Low-Level apex Deity. But if they descended from the Main Plane where the City Amongst the Clouds was situated to a Materialistic Place, the clones sent down wouldn't retain even a hundredth or a thousandth of their main bodies' power, and this was why they weren't any stronger than Tailun Continent's apex Domain-Level Experts.

After the few Strength Angels got Leader Powell's command, they started quickly sneaking into the depths of the City Lord's manor, and they depended upon their keen perception and high-speed to evade the patrolling soldiers one time after the other. They were getting closer to the brightly lit main hall!

Powell's group a.s.sumed that none-detected them, and they wouldn't have even imagined that Yang Ling, the Corpse Wizard King, and the others who were in the main hall knew their actions clearly. The Illusory Crystals hidden among rocks or underbrush had recorded the intruders' actions, and they were broadcasted through a miniature Magical Formation in the Crystal Ball in the main hall.

“Hehe, are those the birdmen called angels?” Yang Ling sneered coldly, as he looked at the cautious Strength Angels that intruded here. He had prepared a great gift for those reckless guys.

“That is right. They are angels from the City Amongst the Clouds. Their blood essence and souls' flavor should be surely outstanding, and you wouldn't forget it for your whole life once you taste it.” As the Corpse Wizard King recalled the few Strength Angels killed by him previously, he licked his lips subconsciously, while his eyes became bloodshot. He stared attentively at the few angels portrayed in the Crystal as if they were pieces of fatty meat.

“Those are just several ordinary angels, and their power isn't any higher than an ordinary apex Domain-Level Expert. But…” Elder Brent paused for a moment, as he looked at Yang Ling that was next to him before he spoke slowly. “But if you run into an angel that bathed in Holy Light, and sent down his main body here, then you must be careful and mustn't face it carelessly.”

“Birdmen are just birdmen, and even if they were covered by a beautiful halo, they are still birdmen.” Yang Ling looked at Elder Brent that warned him kindly before he looked at the few angels that closed in on him. Yang Ling chuckled faintly, and clapped his hands. He said, “It's time for it, let's carry out everything according to the original plan.”

“Understood!”

The crowd commanded by Yang Ling quickly spread around, and acted according to the plan. The Dark Dragon King and several Dark Dragons would outflank the few Strength Angels, and block their escape route, while the Flying Dragon king that recovered would lay in ambush along with a group of Flying Dragons.

The Corpse Wizard King laughed several times strangely before he took the Human-Skin Mask from his pockets. As he chanted several incantations, his dry body started swelling, while he still changed into a new set of clothes, and took a sharp Ghost-Head Blade. He had turned into a copy of Fabris. Such a disguise wouldn't be just useful if he was observed from a large distance, as even if someone observed him closely, he wouldn't find any flaws.

The Corpse Wizard King had even peeled the skin off Fabris's face and turned it into a Human-Skin Mask to let his disguise seem more genuine, while he still ordered people to make clothes similar to Fabris's clothes, and he also wore body armor, helmet, and raised an outstanding Ghost-Head Blade. He really seemed genuine and lifelike!

“Is joining the Magical Beast Realm a fortune or a calamity for my clan members?”

Elder Brent also hid according to Yang Ling's plan, and he looked at the composed Yang Ling before he looked at the powerful Dark Dragon King, and Corpse Wizard King. He couldn't help but heave a sigh!

Yang Ling's power was too great, and it had exceeded his expectations greatly, while Yang Ling still possessed peerless high training speed, and he would shortly manage to advance into G.o.d-Level. As for the Dark Dragon King, Corpse Wizard King, Shadow a.s.sa.s.sin-like Shadow Wizard Winnink, and the other people, they were also anything but simple, and they didn't just possess great power, they all had astonis.h.i.+ng potential. As long as they were provided enough time, they would sooner or later advance into G.o.d-Level.

This was why Lord Yang Ling would get to possess unimaginable power in the future. But, even if one ignored the other powerful Planes, just Tailun Continents alone had many secrets far from ordinary people's reach, and its situation's complexity exceeded everyone's imagination, while it still possessed great power. Even though the Magical Beast Realm determination to make more progress would bring them endless benefits, it would still sow dangers for them, and they would end up making visible and hidden powerful enemies.

Yang Ling had lighted big torches in the main hall's vicinity to lure the fish, and such a region became brightly lit. Powell's team currently had really fallen into the trap and were sneaking over. They avoided many teams of patrolling soldiers that wore a tense look even though they were relaxed, and they managed to approach the main hall smoothly.

“Well. Sir, look over there, that is…” A Strength Angel hiding in a grove near the main hall looked at Yang Ling that was sitting on a chair before he looked at Fabris that laid in front of him. The Strength Angel couldn't help but cry out involuntarily, and when he was about to utter something, his mouth was quickly covered by Leader Powell's hand.

“Shut up, if you alert the enemy, I will break open your neck before them,” Powell warned his companion fiercely before he loosed his hand's grip. Powell swallowed his saliva with great difficulty, as he looked at Fabris that crawled up and stood respectfully next to Yang Ling.

It was the same body armor and helmet, as well as a unique Ghost-Head Blade, and a familiar-looking silhouette.

None could believe that the powerful Fabris betrayed them, and none would have imagined that he would join Yang Ling's camp. But facts were revealed clearly in front of their eyes, and they were forced to believe them.

Was it for money, beautiful women, or for Training Methods?

Powell shook his head. He really couldn't understand for which reasons Fabris betrayed the Church.

The Church grasped a large number of resources, and if the Church stated that their wealth was ranked second, then there wouldn't be any factions in the whole Tailun Continent that would dare to state their wealth was ranked first. Even though the Magical Beast Realm also possessed rich resources, and it developed quickly, how could the wealth acc.u.mulated by them rival the Church that remained strong for several thousand years?

Every year, a large number of young and beautiful women were picked by the Church to be groomed as saintesses, and only a little part of them make it into the Saintess Training Academy, while most of them would go missing. Outsiders didn't know where they went, but the Church's upper-echelon members knew the reason clearly. This was why none could rival the Church when it came to the number of beauties.

As for Training Methods? As long as Fabris entered the City Amongst the Clouds, he would get in touch with what he wanted. So, why would he betray the Church for them?

Fabris couldn't understand the reasons behind Fabris's betrayal, but facts spoke louder than words, and he was forced to believe this matter.

“Fabris, the acute poison in your body is colorless and odorless, and it's made in G.o.dzilla Plane, Atlantis Plane, and other Plane Realms through long refining, and even a Divine Lord couldn't neutralize it. So, don't waste your energy in vain.” After Yang Ling quieted for a moment, he spoke to the Corpse Wizard King next to him that disguised himself as Fabris, “But as long as you work for me devoutly, I will one day ask my family's experts to neutralize the poison in your body, and I will even teach you myriad beasts' enslavement magic.”

He must do everything thoroughly, and he must keep the act to the end.

Yang Ling started speaking nonsense according to the plan to let Powell's team believe that Fabris wasn't just alive, but that he still joined his clan. He had to give the Church a reasonable explanation that would dispel their doubts.

Fabris had a respected status and great power, and he surely wouldn't defect in ordinary situations, and this was why he had to add the poisoning as reason and provide a reasonable explanation. It was only so the Church wouldn't find any loopholes.

“Even if I wasn't poisoned, I'm still not a match for your lords.h.i.+p's Guardian Warriors.” The Corpse Wizard King that disguised himself as Fabris shook his head, and chuckled bitterly, while he still imitated Fabris's voice, and spoke in the same way. “But, I have grown up in the Church, and I hope that I won't have to raise my blade against my previous brothers. Sir, please accept my request.”

“You are affectionate and loyal. Not bad!” Yang Ling looked at the Corpse Wizard King that made lifelike disguise, and he couldn't help but wonder whether he was an actor in his previous life.

After Yang Ling quieted for a moment on purpose, he said, “Why don't we do it like this, my family had been recently on a mission related to the Atlantis Plane, and they got ready to capture several Golden Rocs and make an army that would fight among Spatial Turbulence Lands. You should follow my family's warriors and go over there with them. However, your power is still lacking for now, and you will just have to go there to broaden your horizons. But don't disgrace me, as I'm still the family's successor.”

“Sir, thank you. Sir, thanks a lot.” As the Corpse Wizard King looked at Yang Ling that spoke nonsense earnestly, he was so awed by him that he wanted to kowtow at him, and he admired him greatly.

The Corpse Wizard King was an old Corpse Wizard that lived for more than ten thousand years, and he always believed that he was despicable, shameless, and sinister. But when he compared himself to Yang Ling, he found out that there was a large disparity between them, and what was more sorrowful was that as he mingled with Yang Ling more, he discovered how great was said disparity. The reason behind this wasn't that the Corpse Wizard King was too incompetent, and it was that Yang Ling was too despicable and sinister.

A poison that even a Divine Lord couldn't neutralize?

Powell's team members who eavesdropped in Yang Ling and Fabris's conversation suddenly saw the light, and they finally understood why Fabris betrayed them. Moreover, as they heard about Atlantis Plane and an army for Spatial Turbulence Lands' fights, they were shocked even more.

If it was ordinary people here, they would just a.s.sume that Yang Ling had a fever, and started uttering nonsense, but the Strength Angels that were in charge of fighting for the City Amongst the Clouds knew clearly that such words weren't false, as even the City Amongst the Clouds also had a similar powerful army.
