Hurley Family's Retaliation

"Clan Leader Grandpa!" Lidovia entered the palace and immediately dropped to her knees.

"What is it, little Viya?" A gentle voice rang out. Then, a middle-aged man dressed in a purple Lightning Robe emerged from behind the hall.

Seeing Lidovia's disheveled appearance, he could not help but ask in surprise.

This middle-aged man was none other than Shai Hurley, the clan leader of the Hurley Family. Not only was he a powerful Commander-level expert, but he was also the eldest son of Lightning Master Hurley. Within the entire Hurley Family, his status was second only to the Lightning Master.

Lidovia wept, "My strongest divine clone was killed in Hell!"

"Your strongest divine clone was killed?" Shai was somewhat shocked. "You possess Lightning Lord God Power and cultivate the Lightning Law. Even if you encountered a Commander, you should have been able to save your life!"

"The person who killed me was likely far stronger than an ordinary Commander, and he used Lord God Power as well!" Lidovia cried. "Clan Leader Grandpa, with my strongest divine clone dead, I won't be able to fight for the family again!"

Seeing Lidovia in such agony, Shai's expression darkened as well. "Who was it? Who dared disregard the majesty of my Hurley Family and kill one of our experts?"

At those words, Lidovia froze. Aside from knowing that the other party was called Lynn, she truly knew nothing of Lynn's background. The only reason she had agreed to Makram's invitation to join in killing Lynn was to befriend Makram and make him owe her a favor.

Who would have thought she would kick an iron plate?

"The one who killed me is named Lynn, a Veteran Asura from Hell!" Lidovia began fabricating a story. "He wanted to kill Makram, the Seven-star Demon of the Four Divine Beast Families. I happened to be with Makram at the time. I had already declared the name of the Hurley Family and stated that I would not interfere in their battle, yet he still killed my strongest divine clone."

Hearing Lidovia's words, Shai snorted coldly. "Hmph! The prestige of my Hurley Family cannot be insulted!"

Lidovia was overjoyed. She could tell that the clan leader intended to avenge her.

But then, Shai fell silent.

Although Lightning Master Hurley was considered powerful among the Masters, he came from an ordinary race, and his descendants were naturally all of ordinary races as well.

The Hurley Family had many members, but very few were truly powerful. Only three people, including Shai himself, had the strength to kill a powerful Commander. Yet each of them had important matters to attend to, so naturally they could not waste a great deal of time traveling to Hell merely to kill someone.

Of course, the Lightning Master's emissaries could certainly kill that person. But the Master's emissaries were servants of the Master, not servants of Shai, and he could not command them at will.

"No choice, I can only use that favor!" Shai sighed. A favor owed by an expert was spent one at a time, and he was reluctant to use it. But for the sake of the Hurley Family's honor, he had to use this favor.

Whoosh!

With a flip of his hand, a crystalline stone emanating a strange lightning aura appeared in Shai's palm. Looking at the stone crystal, a trace of nostalgia appeared on his face.

When he had been weak, he too had traveled through many planes with a friend. But after becoming the Hurley Family's clan leader, while that friend had become the emissary of a Master, they had not seen each other for countless years.

"Little Viya, take this stone crystal to Hell and find Olavide on the Muya Continent!" Shai tossed the stone crystal into Lidovia's hands, then paused before saying, "Ask him to help kill that man!"

Lidovia was ecstatic. "Yes, Clan Leader Grandpa!"

Having traveled through Hell for many years, she naturally knew the reputations of those terrifying figures.

Olavide was known as the number one person beneath the Master on the Muya Continent. Ordinary Commanders would only be slaughtered before him. With him taking action, that Lynn was as good as dead.

"Lightning Body Technique is merely a low-level profound mystery. It is fairly simple to comprehend!" Within the rapidly flying Spatial Ring, Lynn suddenly smiled. Just moments ago, he had understood the threshold for fusing Lightning Body Technique with the two profound mysteries of Lightning Element and Flash.

Body techniques were a type of profound mystery shared by all seven elements. Once one comprehended such a profound mystery, one could transform into the corresponding element and gain all manner of peculiar abilities.

For example, after Linley thoroughly comprehended Earthwalking in the original work, he gained the ability to tunnel through the earth. After comprehending the Shadow Clone Technique, he could also enter shadows.

Lightning Body Technique was similar to both of those. Once comprehended, it allowed one to transform into lightning. That Lidovia from the Hurley Family had transformed into a streak of grayish-white lightning when fleeing earlier; that was, in fact, an application of Lightning Body Technique.

Lightning Body Technique was a low-level profound mystery, and one that closely matched the nature of the element itself by allowing the user to transform into lightning. Lynn had no difficulty comprehending it.

He estimated that in a few decades, he would be able to completely fuse Lightning Body Technique with the other four Lightning profound mysteries. After that, so long as he comprehended and fused the final profound mystery, 'Electromagnetic Space,' he would become a Paragon in the Lightning Law.

Perhaps the second Lightning Paragon in the world!

"On the way to the Star Mist Sea, I should be able to fully fuse Lightning Body Technique!" Lynn silently calculated. "Once I reach the Star Mist Sea, I can use its special environment to fuse the final Lightning profound mystery!"

The Bulinya Mountain Range was a deadly region located within Zhenlin Prefecture on the Muya Continent.

It was shrouded year-round in gray mist that never dispersed. This gray mist was highly corrosive and could easily corrode divine power. No deity, not even a Highgod, could venture more than a thousand meters into it.

Yet in truth, few people knew that this was Olavide's secluded residence.

He disliked being disturbed, so he had set up a Magic Array to conceal the Bulinya Mountain Range. He and his followers lived in the sprawling castles within the Bulinya Mountain Range.

On this day.

A Metal Life came flying rapidly from afar, finally stopping outside the Bulinya Mountain Range.

Whoosh!

The Metal Life vanished, revealing Lidovia. Since her strongest Lightning Divine Clone had already been destroyed by Lynn, she had come this time in her true body and her Water Element Divine Clone.

Looking at the gray mist below that never dispersed throughout the year, she revealed a solemn expression.

The gray mist might not have been able to harm her Lightning Divine Clone, but her Water Element Divine Clone was merely an ordinary Highgod and could not withstand its erosion.

Recalling the information she had gathered before coming here, she quickly circled the gray mist in search of her destination. Before long, she spotted a castle obscured by the gray mist, half-hidden and half-visible.

As she landed before the castle, before she could speak, two armored Highgods flew out from within.

"Who are you? This is not a place you should be. Leave!"

Lidovia hurriedly called out, "I am from the Hurley Family of the Lightning Element Plane. I wish to request an audience with Lord Olavide. Please inform him for me!"
