Return to Fenlai

The next day, Bolan did not alert anyone. He transformed and flew out to Tujiao Mountain beyond the city, where the two magical beasts had been left to roam freely, then headed toward the Fenlai Kingdom with the two Level 9 dragon beasts.

Half a month later.

After leaving the Silver Dragon and Spine-backed Iron-armored Dragon in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Bolan went alone to Fenlai City. The first thing he did was visit the Ernst Institute to see whether Linley was there. Instead, he happened to run into George, the second brother, who was preparing to return to the Yulan Empire. Through George, he learned that Linley had taken Bebe into the Magical Beast Mountain Range for training half a year ago and had not returned since.

Learning that Linley was not in the Fenlai Kingdom, Bolan bade George farewell, feeling both relieved and regretful.

After all, there was a good chance that this trip to the Fenlai Kingdom would bring him into conflict with the Radiant Church. Linley's absence would instead leave Bolan with fewer restraints. If they truly came to blows, he could simply fly away if he could not win. At his speed, there were very few people in the world who could catch up to him.

This time, Bolan went directly to an old acquaintance, Marquis Jiebu, the head of the Lucas Clan that collected Warblade Slaughter, and asked him about the person with a spider-shaped birthmark on his arm.

When Marquis Jiebu heard Bolan mention the person with the spider birthmark, his expression immediately changed, and he repeatedly claimed not to know him.

But from his flustered expression, Bolan knew that this old marquis, who had spent many years in the Fenlai Kingdom, definitely knew some inside information. Moreover, the force behind the scenes was certainly one that old Jiebu could not afford to provoke.

At that moment, Bolan formed a few guesses. It was likely connected to the Fenlai royal family; otherwise, Marquis Jiebu would not have been so alarmed.

Bolan then directly took out the magical core of a Level 9 Gale Golden Eagle and said to Marquis Jiebu, "This matter will absolutely not put you in a difficult position. You only need to reveal a small clue."

As he spoke, Bolan stared straight at Marquis Jiebu. He understood the minds of such nobles all too well. As long as there were sufficient benefits, they would abandon everyone except themselves. The Level 9 magical core before him was precisely the bargaining chip that could absolutely move Marquis Jiebu.

After pondering for a moment, Marquis Jiebu directly tucked the Level 9 magical core Bolan had placed on the table into his chest. He then patted his chest, glanced around, and lowered his voice. "That person is one of Duke Parkinson's men. Duke Parkinson is His Majesty the King's younger brother. You can take a look at Parkinson's residence."

Bolan also knew of Duke Parkinson. He was the younger brother most valued by the current king of the Fenlai Kingdom and wielded great authority within the kingdom.

But since this duke had become entangled in the matter of his mother's disappearance all those years ago, to Bolan, let alone a mere duke of a kingdom, even the king of a kingdom was nothing much.

Bolan then ignored Marquis Jiebu's attempts to keep him and departed directly. After Bolan left, the marquis, who had been somewhat nervous, immediately relaxed and muttered, "It seems the skies over the Fenlai Kingdom are about to change. I need to make preparations early."

No matter how Marquis Jiebu arranged his family affairs.

After leaving the Lucas Clan, Bolan headed straight for Duke Parkinson's residence.

Half a day later, Bolan, still dressed in that same white robe, walked directly out of Duke Parkinson's residence. Only the two Bloodslayers on his back glimmered with an eerie red light, as though they had received immense satisfaction. Inside Duke Parkinson's residence, everyone except the elderly, women, and children had fallen into pools of blood. Cries of grief filled the entire Duchy Mansion. As for Parkinson himself, he looked as if he had been sliced alive. His entire body was covered in wounds, a truly miserable sight.

Meanwhile, Bolan, who had just gone through a slaughter, had not expected to gain an initial understanding of both the Laws of Death and the Laws of Destruction amidst the killing. He had originally thought he possessed talent only in the Laws of Wind, but he had not expected to have talent for the Edicts as well. This was an unexpected delight.

However, Bolan was currently heading toward the Fenlai royal palace, so he could only set the two Edicts aside for the moment.

The strongest person in all of Fenlai was King Clayde, and he was merely a Level 9 warrior. Though his strength was not weak, he was utterly insignificant to Bolan. Bolan directly stormed the royal palace.

Any guards who tried to stop him along the way were cut down with a single sword strike. He slaughtered his way into the palace hall, where Clayde stood at the head of the hall, clad in golden battle armor, with golden hair and a golden greatsaber in hand. This attire truly suited the man known as the Golden Lion.

"Bolan Baruch, I have neither grievance nor enmity with you. Why have you slaughtered your way into my hall?" Clayde shouted angrily.

"Thirteen years ago, you had your younger brother Parkinson seize a couple who had gone to the Radiant Temple to pray for blessings. At night, he abducted the wife. That woman was my mother," Bolan replied coldly.

Hearing this, Clayde recalled that woman from those years, the woman with the pure soul. Because of her, the great Lord of Light had directly elevated him to a Level 9 warrior and bestowed countless benefits upon him.

Knowing that the matter had been exposed, Clayde directly threatened, "I am the Radiant Church's most devout believer. If you kill me, the Radiant Church will not let you go."

"I only ask you this: where is my mother now?" Bolan asked coldly.

"Th-that woman was sacrificed to the great Lord of Light long ago," Clayde said, casting caution aside.

At that moment, all he hoped was for the Radiant Church experts stationed in Fenlai City to arrive sooner and save him.

But when Bolan heard this, his eyes cracked with fury. He swung his sword and slashed down. Clayde's golden-haired head flew straight into the air, while blood sprayed three feet high from his neck.

After killing Clayde, Bolan removed the spatial ring from his hand and put it on his own.

Then, instead of leaving, he sat directly in the great hall and began comprehending the newly initiated Edicts of Destruction and Death. At the same time, he waited for the people of the Radiant Church to arrive, planning to collect a little interest.
