"2nd Elder, the situation is serious. The 3rd Elder actually betrayed the clan. He took advantage of your absence to mount a sneak attack on the 4th Elder and the 5th Elder. The entire clan should already be under the control of the 3rd Elder. Now that we have appeared, the 3rd Elder must have already gotten the news. We should temporarily avoid him …"
Hearing this, the 2nd Elder's expression turned ashen. His eyes were burning with anger, and he couldn't conceal his sorrow.
Lin Yun slightly frowned. He looked around and took out a few spirit mana crystals. He quickly carved a few simple runes on them before throwing them out.
These few spirit mana crystals slowly merged with the ground and the surrounding Ancient War Trees.
'No wonder the Ancient War Trees, the strongest defensive force of the Dark Elven Clan, didn't react … It turns out that the 3rd Elder has rebelled …
'These Ancient War Trees might have been ordered to slumber …'
After Lin Yun finished doing this, the sound of a large number of people approaching could be heard from a distance. The 3rd Elder was escorted by a group of Dark Elves. He hadn't arrived yet, but his arrogant laughter had already arrived.
"Hahaha … 2nd Elder, you didn't expect it, right? The entire Dark Elven Clan has already fallen into my hands. You old fart, you can't do anything, you can only act like a good old man, yet you still occupy the 2nd Elder's position and control the clan's authority. Now take a look, see how many people around you still support you?"
The 3rd Elder smiled as he walked over, unconcealable pride on his face.
At this moment, the 3rd Elder no longer had his usual solemn and awe-inspiring righteousness. The firmest advocate and enforcer of the Dark Elven Clan's laws could no longer be seen.
The 3rd Elder looked around with an attitude as if victory was already in his grasp. He looked down at everyone, as if he was looking at a group of losers waiting to be slaughtered.
"Starting from today, I have the final say in the Dark Elven Clan. You will soon know the fate of those who resist me. Now, I'll give you a chance. Whoever is willing to rely on me, I'll consider it."
The 3rd Elder proudly laughed as if he was the victor's charity.
However, after looking around, the Third Elder's smile suddenly froze.
"Where's Jers? Tell Jers to come out and see me! "
The 3rd Elder suddenly had a bad feeling when he didn't see Jers. He shouted twice, but he didn't hear Jers' response. The people that came out of the Life Pattern Crystal all lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak, trembling with fear.
Lin Yun's face was expressionless as he stood there quietly. The Second Elder's eyebrows were knitted together, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing the expressions of the group, the 3rd Elder understood that Jers was probably done for.
Suddenly, the 3rd Elder grabbed a person next to him and angrily shouted, "Where is Jers?"
That person replied while trembling with fear, "I think I followed the 2nd Elder to the Life Pattern Crystal …"
The 3rd Elder's expression froze. At this time, he understood that Jers was definitely dead.
The third elder turned around with a sinister expression. His voice was trembling as he furiously pointed at the person who came out of the Life Pattern Crystal.
"You're dead! None of you will leave this place alive today! You killed my son, I'll make you all accompany Jers in death! "
The 3rd Elder's angry roar scared some people, especially when they felt the powerful pressure of a 9th Rank Archmage. They were all trembling with fear, as if a huge rock was pressing down on them, unable to straighten their backs.
A few of the Deacons looked at each other and suddenly walked out from the Second Elder's group. Then, they quickly hid to the side.
"3rd Elder, Jers' death has nothing to do with us!"
"It's him, it's that outsider, he killed Jers!"
"We wanted to stop him, but we couldn't stop him!"
These people had frightened expressions as they walked out and shouted at the Third Elder. At the same time, they looked at Lin Yun with vigilance, as if guarding against Lin Yun silencing them.
Lin Yun indifferently glanced at these people. He wasn't surprised by their betrayal. In the Life Pattern Crystal's small world, these people had been hiding in the back and had only cast a few symbolic spells before not daring to continue fighting.
The 3rd Elder had a gloomy expression as he glared at Lin Yun with killing intent. He then gritted his teeth as he looked at the few Dark Elves who had betrayed him.
"Speak! How did Jers die!? "
These few weak Dark Elves were pale as they replied while trembling with fear.
"3rd Elder, Jers was killed by that outsider, he died a miserable death …"
"Right, right, it's that outsider. He used an earth spell to drown Jers in sand, it has nothing to do with us …"
"It really has nothing to do with us. That outsider wanted to shatter the Life Pattern Crystal and Jers wanted to stop him. We all wanted to stop him, but we couldn't stop him. Jers was killed at that time …"
"If it weren't for the fact that we're too weak, this despicable outsider would have killed us as well …"
The few Dark Elves kept saying that they were innocent and that everything was Lin Yun's fault. They were all standing with Jers.
The 3rd Elder raised his head with a grieved expression. He clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth. After a few seconds, he looked at Lin Yun with bloodshot eyes and a sinister aura.
"Outsider, I should have acted earlier and recklessly killed you. I should have listened to Jers because Jers lost his life in vain when you were about to die. I shouldn't have! You deserve to die, you deserve to die!"
The 3rd Elder's body was shivering. He was both sad and angry. At his proudest moment, he received the news of his son's death.
"Surround them! Don't let a single one of them escape today! Especially that damned outsider, he must die! "
A large number of Dark Elves gathered from the surrounding trees, their numbers increasing. These Dark Elves tightly surrounded Lin Yun and the 2nd Elder.
A trace of grief could be seen on the Second Elder's face. Seeing those familiar faces, he knew that the Third Elder had mobilized all the forces in his hands. This meant that the situation had reached the worst stage. The Third Elder had completely rebelled …
The 2nd Elder slowly took a step forward and looked at the 3rd Elder with a pained expression.
"Broust, do you know what you are doing? Do you know what the consequences of your actions will be? "
Broust was the 3rd Elder's name. Ever since they became Elders, they no longer used their original names. The 3rd Elder and 2nd Elder were their new names. This was to remind them to forget themselves and only remember their positions.
The 2nd Elder hadn't called the 3rd Elder by his name for a long time, but now, hearing this unfamiliar name, the 3rd Elder only sneered.
"2nd Elder, whatever you say today is useless. The Dark Elven Clan is already under my control. Starting from today, you are no longer the 2nd Elder, but my prisoner. Rest assured, for the sake of our many years of friendship, I won't kill you. I'll imprison you until you die! "But this outsider must die! You'd best surrender! "
The 2nd Elder lamented bitterly and angrily stamped his feet. "Broust, do you know what happened? "Merlin accidentally killed Jers in order to restore the clan's Life Pattern Crystal. This matter has nothing to do with Merlin. He is our Dark Elven Clan's great benefactor, yet you want to kill him? "Merlin went through untold hardships to retrieve the Life Pattern Crystal's Incarnation. Now that the Life Pattern Crystal has been restored, our Dark Elven Clan will be exterminated. How could you attack Merlin for personal grudges?!"
The 3rd Elder froze for a moment before proudly laughing.
"Good! Good! 'I originally thought that an incompetent guy like you occupying the tribe's authority was the cause of the tribe's destruction. I would have found the Life Pattern Crystal's Incarnation once I took control of the tribe, but I hadn't expected that damned outsider to have already found the Incarnation of the Life Pattern Crystal. That's great! It really is the will of the heavens, letting everything return to normal when I take control of the clan! "
The 3rd Elder proudly laughed. Hearing that the Life Pattern Crystal had been restored, the other Dark Elves who didn't know the news also cheered. The biggest reason they joined the 3rd Elder was because the clan would be destroyed in a few dozen years, and the 3rd Elder's biggest promise was to do his utmost to restore the Life Pattern Crystal within a few dozen years.
Now that it had been restored, everyone couldn't help cheering with tears in their eyes.
It had been over a hundred years, and all the Dark Elves were in despair. At this time, the 3rd Elder gave them groundless hope and made all the Dark Elves rely on him rebel.
And just as the 3rd Elder rebelled, the Life Pattern Crystal unexpectedly recovered. Many Dark Elves felt that the 3rd Elder's rise to power was truly the will of the heavens.
At this time, many loyal followers of the 3rd Elder felt that Merlin had to die. Even if he was a great benefactor to the Dark Elves, he had to die. This benefactor was too great, so he had to die to make everyone feel better.
The 2nd Elder looked at the Dark Elves around the 3rd Elder, their expressions becoming even more sinister. How did the former Dark Elves end up like this? As for the 3rd Elder, he didn't hide his killing intent at all. He was the one who hated Lin Yun the most.
"Broust, so what if you can control the clan now? Did you forget that there is still the Great Elder and the Empress!"
The 3rd Elder wildly laughed, not caring at all.
