Linley never expected that someone could get this close to him without him even noticing the newcomer. He had to remember that he was a genuine Saint-level expert now, and could be considered one of the top figures standing at the summit of the Yulan Plane, especially since he had just slain a peak Saint-level powerhouse. From this, it was evident that the newcomer's strength was absolutely at a terrifying level, and might even be "God-level"!
Right where the applause had just come from, in a manner that felt extremely discordant yet as if he had always been standing right there, a man dressed in black robes and looking like a middle-aged man appeared, looking somewhat lazy and gazing at him with an expression of approval. It was precisely Cesar, whom he had crossed paths with once before!
"Lord Cesar, why have you appeared here?" Linley said with some pleasant surprise.
Upon seeing that the newcomer was Cesar, everyone dropped their guard. They knew that the Cesar Linley knew was extremely approachable, and moreover, he was on very close terms with his older brother Bolan, so naturally he wouldn't make a move against them and the others.
Brother Linley, it has been a long time! Cesar's somewhat flippant voice sounded so melodious to Linley.
Linley had truly been terrified just moments ago. Although Bolan had carved out a formidable reputation for himself across the continent, accompanying it was a string of bitter enemies. Those enemies were just like Steller, whom he had just slain; given the slightest opportunity, they would absolutely never let go of anyone from the Baruch Clan.
"Not even twenty years of age, yet possessing strength no less than a peak Saint-level. Brother Linley, you aren't all that far behind your older brother Bolan." Cesar said with a hint of praise.
"What is even more commendable is that you are also a stone-sculpting master." You must remember that your older brother promised me one of your works back then, oh. Cesar said happily; he had only two hobbies in this life, stone carving and women!
At this moment, Barker and the other Undying Five Brothers who had been watching the battle from the side finally appeared before the two of them amidst their conversation.
Upon seeing the approaching Barker and his brothers, Cesar's lazy expression gradually shifted into one of seriousness. These brothers might very well be the descendants of his former brother!
"Everyone, follow me and leave this place first. A Saint-level battle just erupted here, and I estimate quite a few people are already rushing toward this location." Putting away his lazy demeanor, Cesar looked around and stated directly.
The crowd exchanged mutual glances of dismay, and then all looked toward Linley. Linley nodded with a hint of mutual understanding. Indeed, this place was too close to Deke County City; it was estimated that there would be a great many people here shortly.
Immediately, the group followed Cesar, swiftly leaving the barren mountain that had been shaved bare, walking all the way until late into the night. At the speed of the group, they had long since left Deke County City more than a thousand miles behind.
In the midst of a barren mountain, "Let's spend the night right here." Cesar said in a somewhat low voice.
At this moment, Cesar had long since lost his usual carefree and unrestrained manner, and instead possessed a sense of vicissitudes. After everyone sat down, Cesar stared straight at the Barker brothers without speaking for a long while.
"Where is your father? Where are your family members?" After recalling for a long while, Cesar posed this question to the Barker brothers.
"Our family members are all dead. As for our father? We've been orphans since we were little," answered Barker, the eldest.
Orphans?
Cesar let out a sigh. "I never expected that after so many years, the Amanda Family, which was renowned across the entire Yulan Continent back then, would actually decline to this degree."
So it really is true! Linley said with some amazement. After all, Barker and his brothers had been following Linley for quite some time, and Linley had already harbored some guesses regarding their brotherhood's family. After all, aside from the Four Ultimate Warriors, Linley truly couldn't think of anyone else who could train their physical bodies to the level of Level 8, yet were utterly unable to cultivate douqi secret manuals. It was clearly very similar to his own Dragonblood Warrior family—both were completely incapable of cultivating any other douqi secret manuals besides their own family's!
It was just that Barker and the others did not know what their family was, so Linley's conjecture had never been confirmed. Hearing Cesar put it this way, Linley instantly confirmed the hypothesis in his heart.
"You are descendants of the Amanda Family, and furthermore, true Undying Warriors. All of you brothers possess very high innate talent. If you were to cultivate the Undying Secret Manual, then right now, the few of you would very likely have already stepped into the Level 9 realm!" Cesar said with absolute certainty.
"The Undying Secret Manual?" Barker and the five brothers asked in some confusion.
At this time, Linley chimed in from the side, "Barker, actually, we families of the Four Ultimate Warriors cannot cultivate any other douqi secret manuals; we can only cultivate special douqi. Our Baruch Clan has the Dragonblood Secret Manual, and your Amanda Family most likely has the Undying Secret Manual."
"Lord Cesar, to this day we still don't know why you are treating us so specially." After a long while, Barker suddenly asked with a hint of curiosity.
Hearing these words, Cesar could not help but recall the events of back then. After a long moment of silence, he finally sighed and said, "Your ancestor, Amanda, was the best brother I ever had in this lifetime."
"More than five thousand years ago, that period was the most chaotic time on the Yulan Continent. Yet, it was precisely during that chaotic era that the Four Ultimate Warriors burst forth onto the scene, and War God O'Brien even fought a great battle against the High Priest, becoming famous across the continent..." At this point, Cesar recalled with a hint of emotional sentiment.
"I had anticipated the decline of the Four Ultimate Warriors, but I simply never expected that your Amanda Family would actually manage to lose even your family's heritage manual. Fortunately, back then, when Amanda was with me, he once left behind a duplicate copy, which is currently located within the main base of the Saber organization that I founded."
Hearing abruptly that the manual of their family's heritage still had a duplicate copy, the Barker brothers were so excited they nearly popped their eyeballs out.
Paying no heed to the excitement of the Barker brothers, "I'll make a trip to the main base early tomorrow morning, I'll go personally!" Cesar said with a hint of emotion, keeping in mind that Cesar was typically very lazy.
Right as everyone was preparing to rest, Cesar suddenly stood up in an instant with a face full of seriousness. "Someone is coming, and they're also God-level!"
Seeing Cesar's somewhat serious expression and hearing what he said, the group was so startled they nearly gasped aloud. When did God-level powerhouses become so numerous? They had to remember that the most recent God-level meeting had been more than five thousand years ago—between War God O'Brien and the High Priest. That single meeting had directly led to the splitting of the Yulan Empire and the rise of the O'Brien Empire.
"The newcomer is that newly advanced God-level from the South Sea a short time ago. Stay far away; he's coming for me!" Cesar said with a hint of seriousness.
This was the first time everyone was hearing that another God-level powerhouse had emerged on the continent a short time away. Hearing the solemn tone in Cesar's words, the group directly flew off rapidly toward the distance.
"Old Brother Cesar, it was so hard for me, your brother, to come all this way from the South Sea, yet you treat your brother like this. That is truly lacking in friendship!" The mysterious figure sped over from afar, bantering from a distance.
Linley and the others, who were just preparing to leave, suddenly heard a familiar voice and immediately cried out in great joy.
Big Brother!
