Chen Feng's Spoiler!

Outside Wushan Town.

"Linley!"

"Are you sure?"

"Clayde... was really trampled to death by magical beasts?"

"..."

Looking at his eldest son before him,

Hogg asked excitedly.

With Chen Feng's reminder,

Hogg had just arrived outside Wushan Town when he ran into the returning Linley!

After father and son exchanged greetings,

Hogg heard news of Clayde from Linley!

Clayde was the king of the Fenlai Kingdom!

Under normal circumstances,

even if the Fenlai Kingdom were destroyed,

Clayde would still have had a good chance of escaping!

Yet Linley said Clayde had died at the hands of magical beasts!

This left Hogg somewhat doubtful!

It was not that he doubted Linley!

He was merely afraid that Linley had been mistaken and Clayde had escaped!

If that were true,

then there would be no way to avenge his wife Lina!

"Father!"

"When the army of magical beasts charged into Fenlai City!"

"A Saint Realm magical beast descended from the sky and flattened the entire royal palace!"

"It even deliberately seized Clayde and tore him to pieces before everyone!"

"I'm sorry!"

"I failed to avenge Mother with my own hands!"

"..."

Under Hogg's gaze,

Linley lowered his head and spoke with some guilt.

During this time,

he had remained in Fenlai City, waiting for an opportunity to avenge his mother!

Unfortunately!

Clayde had been extremely cautious!

Linley simply could not find a suitable opportunity!

Originally,

Linley had planned to train hard and become stronger as quickly as possible!

As long as he possessed enough strength,

even if he killed Clayde openly, no one would dare blame him!

Unexpectedly!

Plans could not keep up with change!

A God-level magical beast appeared!

The beast tide struck Fenlai City!

Clayde, the king, had died just like that at the hands of magical beasts!

However!

Clayde was dead, but Linley had not been the one to kill him!

This left Linley feeling guilty, as though he had let his mother down!

"Enough!"

"It's already over!"

"As long as Clayde is dead, that's all that matters!"

"..."

Hearing Linley's words,

Hogg fell silent for a moment, then forced a smile onto his face.

He patted Linley on the shoulder and consoled him.

After saying that,

Hogg slowly turned around and walked toward Wushan Town!

Yet in Linley's eyes,

he saw a trace of loneliness and unwillingness in his father's back!

This made Linley clench his fists unconsciously!

Wushan Town.

Small courtyard.

"Linley!"

"You've changed!"

"You've become cowardly!"

"Drinking cannot help you escape your problems!"

"..."

Looking at Linley, reeking of alcohol,

Chen Feng frowned and rebuked him in dissatisfaction.

A few days earlier,

Linley had returned to Wushan Town.

That same day, he had sought out Chen Feng and thanked him profusely!

The next day!

Linley came again!

Faced with this,

Chen Feng naturally had nothing to say!

However!

What surprised Chen Feng was that Linley, who had never touched alcohol before, actually dragged Chen Feng out to drink!

The third day!

The fourth day!

Every day, Linley deliberately got himself drunk!

Deliberately!

Chen Feng could not persuade him to stop!

"Big Brother Chen Feng!"

"Am I really useless?"

"If I had strength like yours!"

"Could I have avenged Mother with my own hands?"

"..."

Hearing Chen Feng's rebuke,

Linley froze for a moment, and his eyes gradually cleared.

Yet what he said made Chen Feng rub his brow helplessly!

Linley was useless?

In warrior training,

Linley in his normal state was at the peak of Level-Six Warrior!

After transforming, Linley had even reached the peak of Eighth-level Warrior!

In magical training,

Linley was a dual-element, earth-and-wind seventh-level magus!

Setting aside Chen Feng, that cheat!

Among his peers on the Yulan Continent!

Linley was absolutely among the most outstanding geniuses!

However!

Linley was still too young!

He had not truly grown up yet!

To the current Linley!

The Radiant Church was a colossal force!

Clayde had the protection of the Radiant Church!

It was perfectly normal that Linley could not avenge himself personally!

But Linley did not see it that way!

He had actually taken all the blame upon himself!

This left Chen Feng extremely helpless!

After all!

If Chen Feng had not saved Hogg!

Driven by hatred, Linley would have long since made a move against Clayde and personally avenged his parents!

"Ah..."

"Linley!"

"Let me tell you a secret!"

After a long while,

Chen Feng sighed and spoke softly.

In the original story!

When Linley assassinated Clayde,

he had learned the true cause of his mother's death from Clayde himself!

But now!

Clayde was already dead!

Chen Feng could not possibly tell Linley the truth!

Nor would Linley learn that the Radiant Church was also his enemy!

Therefore!

Chen Feng could only reveal a spoiler!

Hopefully, what he said would help Linley pull himself together!

"A secret?"

Hearing Chen Feng's words,

Linley slowly raised his head, curiosity flashing in his eyes.

Even Bebe on the ground turned his gaze toward Chen Feng!

"After I saved Uncle Hogg!"

"I sensed that something was wrong!"

"So, I secretly investigated for a while as well!"

"Then!"

"I discovered a secret!"

"..."

At this point,

Chen Feng paused.

Seeing Linley's face filled with seriousness,

Chen Feng spoke again and continued.

"Before Wharton was born!"

"Clayde, king of the Fenlai Kingdom, was merely a Level-Six Warrior!"

"But not long after Wharton was born!"

"After your mother Lina was murdered!"

"Clayde suddenly became a Ninth-level Warrior!"

"That was a very strange thing!"

"In order to uncover the truth!"

"I could only continue investigating!"

"At last!"

"I traced it back to the Radiant Church!"

"The Radiant Church has a ritual called Sacrifice!"

"They capture humans with pure souls and offer them as sacrifices to the Overgod they serve!"

"The purer the sacrificed human's soul!"

"Once the Sacrifice ritual is complete!"

"The richer the rewards the Radiant Church receives!"

"And twelve years ago!"

"When your mother, Lina, was murdered!"

"The Radiant Church's higher-ups all saw their strength increase!"

"Tell me!"

"Could there be some connection between the two?"

"..."

After blurting out everything he could reveal in one breath,

Chen Feng ignored Linley and drank his wine by himself.

Bang!

Linley crushed the wine bottle in his hand.

His eyes were bloodshot, like a beast on the verge of erupting!

Because he trusted Chen Feng!

Linley completely believed what Chen Feng had said!

This filled Linley's heart with towering fury!

Did the Light Element have a hand in his mother's death too?

No!

The Radiant Church was the true culprit behind his mother's death!

Clayde was merely a dog of the Radiant Church!

Damn it!

How could this be?

Clayde alone had already seemed difficult enough to deal with!

If his enemy was the Radiant Church instead!

Would he still have a chance to avenge his mother?
