Chapter 724 - Extinction Disaster (1/2)
”2nd Elder, this is very serious. The 3rd Elder unexpectedly betrayed the clan! He took advantage of you being away to ambush the 4th Elder and the 5th Elder before taking control of the entire clan. The 3rd Elder must have gotten the news that we just came out. Let's stay away for now…”
Hearing this, the 2nd Elder's expression turned ashen. He had fire burning in his eyes while still looking extremely sorrowful.
Lin Yun frowned slightly and took out a few spirit mana crystals after checking the surroundings. He quickly carved a few runes on these spirit mana crystals and tossed them out.
The mana crystals merged with the ground and the surrounding defensive trees.
'No wonder the Dark Elves' greatest defense didn't seem to react, it was because the 3rd Elder had rebelled...
'These trees were ordered to sleep.'
After doing that, he could hear the sounds of some people approaching, and then the 3rd Elder came over with a group of Dark Elves, his mad laughter reaching them before they did.
”Hahaha… 2nd Elder, you hadn't expected the entire Dark Elven Clan to already be under my control, did you? What achievements do you have? You are only a peaceful old fart hoarding the 2nd Elder's position and using the clan's authority. Let's see how many people will support you now!” The 3rd Elder laughed as he came over with an unconcealable expression of pride on his face.
The 3rd Elder wasn't as serious and righteous as before. He no longer looked like the staunchest supporter and executor of the rules of the Dark Elven Clan.
He looked around with confidence at everyone as if he was looking down on a group of animals waiting to be slaughtered.
”Starting today, I have the final say when it comes to the Dark Elven Clan. You'll all understand what happens to those who resist me! I'll give you one chance. Whoever wants to rely on me, come forward and I might consider it.”
The 3rd Elder laughed heartily as he acted like a charitable winner.
But his smile froze after he looked around.
”What about Jers? Let Jers come out to meet me!” As he was unable to discover Jers, the 3rd Elder suddenly had a bad feeling. He yelled twice but didn't get an answer.
All those who had gone to the Life Pattern Crystal with Lin Yun lowered their heads and remained silent. Lin Yun remained expressionless as he calmly stood there, as did the 2nd Elder.
Seeing the actions and expressions of that group, the 3rd Elder understood that something might have happened to Jers.
The 3rd Elder suddenly grabbed the person next to him and angrily shouted, ”Where is Jers?”
That person shook as he answered in fear, ”He seemed to have followed the 2nd Elder's group to the Life Pattern Crystal's location…”
The 3rd Elder was at a loss... He now understood that Jers was definitely dead.
The 3rd Elder turned towards the group of people coming back from the Life Pattern Crystal's small world, pointed at them, and shouted with a shaking voice, ”You are dead! None of you can leave this place alive today! Since you murdered my son, I'll bury you alongside him!”
The roar of the 3rd Elder and his sudden change in attitude scared some of them, especially when they sensed him emitting his pressure as a 9th Rank Archmage. They were all trembling with fear, as if a huge rock was pressing onto their backs.
A few Deacons looked at each other and suddenly walked out from the 2nd Elder's group before quickly moving aside.
”3rd Elder, Jers' death has nothing to do with us!”
”It's him, it's that outsider, he was the one who murdered Jers!”
”We wanted to stop him, but we were unable to!”
The few of them walked over in fear as they shouted to the 3rd Elder, still vigilantly looking at Lin Yun, apparently wary that Lin Yun would silence them.
Lin Yun glanced at those guys indifferently, not surprised in the least by their betrayal. In the Life Pattern Crystal's world, they had been hiding in the back the whole time while only casting a few spells to keep up appearances, but they never dared to keep fighting.
