'Baiers …'
Hearing that name, Lin Yun 'expression stiffened. He had guessed right, the person Emperor Zhantui personally killed was Baiers.
'But why Baiers?'
Baiers was already a Heaven Rank powerhouse in his early forties and was recognized by the royal family as the future successor to the throne. Even Emperor Zhantui himself nurtured Baiers as his successor. Lin Yun couldn't think of any reason why Emperor Zhantui would want to kill Baiers.
"I want to know why Emperor Zhantui wanted to kill Baiers, as well as what was going on with Baiers' soul and body …" Lin Yun's eyes turned as he looked at the Heaven Rank Three-Eyed Secret Wolf. The Heaven Rank Three-Eyed Secret Wolf had experienced those things in the past and might know some secrets.
"In fact, Sengman had no other choice. He had always been nurturing Baiers as the successor to the throne. Even Sengman was full of praise for Baiers' talent in the field of magic. "Unfortunately, Baiers is a complete scoundrel. When he learned that Sengman and Luo Ning were going to fight in the Tulan Mountain Range, he secretly brought people over and wanted to take advantage of the fact that both sides were injured to kill Sengman and seize the throne …"
"After Baiers' scheme was exposed, Sengman was very distressed and personally killed Baiers. He then buried Baiers in the 2nd Floor and left his crown in Baiers' tomb. "Originally, this matter should have ended here, but it didn't. After Sengman and Luo Ning left, I inadvertently discovered that Baiers' soul possessed a Greater Overlord's Incarnation before his death and completely controlled that Incarnation. And that Greater Overlord was the Desolate Overlord of the 17th Layer of the Abyss …"
At this time, Lin Yun's frown gradually relaxed. Most of the mysteries in his heart had been solved and he was trying to connect everything together. First was the Greater Overlord's Incarnation in the Line Canyon. He originally thought that it was an Incarnation controlled by the Desolate Overlord's will.
But it looked like he had been wrong. The one controlling that Incarnation was the Heaven Rank powerhouse Baiers!
"What is Baiers' goal? We encountered that Great Lord's Incarnation in the Line Canyon on our way here …" Lin Yun said with a frown.
"He's a madman. He wants to return to his body. He's not willing to fail just like that." The Heaven Rank Three-Eyed Secret Wolf's flustered and exasperated voice echoed in Lin Yun's mind, "Baiers is already a monster. His body transformed into an Undead lifeform in the 2nd Floor. If his soul can smoothly enter the 2nd Floor and fuse with that body, his strength will once again reach the Heaven Rank. You have to be careful not to provoke him in the 2nd Floor …"
"Okay …" Lin Yun nodded.
"As for my child …" The Heaven Rank Three-Eyed Secret Wolf looked at the palm-sized Three-Eyed Secret Wolf in Lin Yun's hand, "Give it to me."
Lin Yun bitterly smiled. He had met the parents of the Heaven Rank Three-Eyed Secret Wolf. Even if he was unwilling, he would still have to return it. Moreover, that was a Heaven Rank Three-Eyed Secret Wolf. It was willing to help him out of consideration for Luo Ning. If he didn't be tactful, he might not be able to leave the magic tower alive. He nodded and cautiously put the small Three-Eyed Secret Wolf on the ground.
"Awooo …"
But he hadn't expected the small Three-Eyed Secret Wolf to be unhappy. After letting out a childish howl, it turned into a shadow and drilled into Lin Yun's chest, rubbing its small head against Lin Yun's body. Lin Yun helplessly looked at the Heaven Rank Three-Eyed Secret Wolf, but he didn't say anything.
The Heaven Rank Three-Eyed Secret Wolf clearly froze. After a while, it turned around and said, "Follow me, I'll lead you to the Teleportation Array …"
"Okay …" Lin Yun scratched his cheek. He couldn't understand the Heaven Rank Three-Eyed Secret Wolf's attitude. Was it going to keep the small Three-Eyed Secret Wolf with him or take it away?
To be honest, he was quite reluctant to part with the Three-Eyed Secret Wolf.
Under the Heaven Rank Three-Eyed Secret Wolf's lead, Lin Yun's group spent a dozen minutes reaching a Teleportation Array at the peak of a mountain range.
As the group stood next to the Teleportation Array, Lin Yun suddenly discovered that Delson, who was standing at the back of the group, had a strange expression on his face. He couldn't say what it was, but it gave him a very strange feeling.
After keeping this information in mind, Lin Yun looked at the array. With one glance, he knew that this array had existed for a very long time. What surprised him was that there was actually a spirit mana crystal at the mana source of the Teleportation Array. It was truly rich and overbearing.
Even when he was about to activate the array, the Heaven Rank Three-Eyed Secret Wolf was still standing not far away and didn't mention anything about the small Three-Eyed Secret Wolf. Lin Yun inwardly muttered, 'Did it already tacitly allow the small Three-Eyed Secret Wolf to stay at my side?'
After pouring mana into the array, everyone felt their vision blur as the world changed. The forest, the mountain range, everything disappeared without a trace and were replaced by a pitch-black sky. The surrounding soil was also pitch-black and filled with the aura of death.
'What is this place?'
Feeling the thick aura of death, Lin Yun couldn't help frowning. He could see numerous phosphorescent lights as far as his eyes could see. Seeing this scene, he immediately knew that these were Undead lifeforms!
Moreover, the number of Undead lifeforms couldn't be calculated. It could only be described as a sea.
Not long ago, when the Heaven Rank Three-Eyed Secret Wolf mentioned the 2nd Floor of the magic tower, he only said that Baiers' body had transformed into an Undead lifeform and told them not to provoke him, but he didn't say that the 2nd Floor was a world of the Undead.
Lin Yun glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the expressions of everyone around him. There was shock and panic, but when his gaze fell on Delson, he discovered that the other side was calm and composed, frowning as he looked around.
'Sure enough, there's something strange about him …'
In fact, Delson felt that something was wrong when the 8th Floor's Teleportation Array was about to activate.
But he didn't think too much about it at the time.
Now, it looked like that guy was hiding some important information.
As he thought of this, Lin Yun 'expression couldn't help turning cold. He looked at Delson and said, "Sir Delson, what else do you know? Say it now …"
Everyone's gazes fell on Delson.
"Eh?"
Delson was also stunned. He looked at Lin Yun with a stunned expression, and when he saw the other side's cold gaze, he couldn't help shrinking back. He smiled and said, "High Mage Merlin, please don't joke around … How could I know anything? Haha, it's my first time here …"
"Well, Sir Delson, it has already reached this point, is there still a need to hide it …" Lin Yun's tone sounded very calm, as if he was asking a friend, but only he knew that behind that calm tone, he had already poured mana into the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel.
As long as Delson chose to hide it, Lin Yun wouldn't hesitate to make a move.
To be honest, Delson couldn't hide any secrets in front of him. After all, the Soul Walker's Magic Tool Incarnation, Sir Sean, was an expert in extorting confessions.
He didn't mind treating Delson like Herman.
The other side hiding important information was the same as putting him in danger.
This was something he couldn't tolerate.
"I'll talk!"
Delson seemed to have sensed something and instantly paled. He looked at Lin Yun with lingering fear. In a short few seconds, his forehead and body were covered in cold sweat.
It wasn't that he noticed Lin Yun pouring mana into the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel, but rather that he suddenly remembered that he had been with the young mage for a few months, and this was the first time he saw the young mage asking the same question twice.
To Delson, the unknown was the true danger, so he acted decisively.
He had seen the young mage's methods. Not only was he powerful, but he was also ruthless. He had been standing on the side when the young mage dealt with Solan.
That couldn't be described as cruel, he simply didn't treat Solan as a person!
If he angered the young mage, he might end up like Solan. Just thinking of the consequences made Delson's heart twitch. That would be more painful than death …
"Then tell me …" Lin Yun smiled and secretly scattered the mana within the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel.
"High Mage Merlin, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to deceive you … I swear, I'll tell you everything I know." Delson sighed in relief and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, but he still looked at Lin Yun with some fear. "When that descendant of the 3rd Dynasty of the Odin Kingdom found our Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group, he not only gave us a damaged map, but also an important piece of information …"
"Oh?"
"In fact, from the start, I knew that Emperor Zhantui's son, Baiers, died in the Tulan Mountain Range and was buried in the 2nd Floor of the tower …" After saying this, Delson looked at Lin Yun apologetically before lowering his head. "The thing that person from the Odin Kingdom wanted us to find was actually a crown. And that crown was the burial item Emperor Zhantui left for Baiers after his death. As long as we brought that back, we would be able to obtain the Heaven Rank reward from the Odin Kingdom. "
"There's more, go on …" Lin Yun attentively looked at Delson. He knew that things weren't that simple, Delson was hiding far more than that.
"Listen to me slowly …" Delson bitterly smiled. "That person also said that the crown was hidden in a certain place in a tower. That place is filled with death energy, it is an undead world. Baiers' body has turned into an undead lifeform, but he has been slumbering in the tomb. As long as he doesn't wake up, he can get that crown, although there is some risk …"
"Alright then …"
Lin Yun nodded with a grave expression. "I don't think I have any obligation to escort your three mercenary groups, and I have no interest in that crown. Let's part ways here. Xiuban, Cousin William, Cousin Ross, and Cousin Leon, let's go … "
