"As long as I stall for time, the chances of finding the Life Pattern Crystal's Incarnation will greatly increase. But no one in the clan is willing to do that, and I don't have time, so I can only use the fastest method.
"As long as I control the Dark Elven Clan, I'll definitely be able to find the Incarnation of the Life Pattern Crystal. At that time, I'll be the savior of the Dark Elves, I'm not wrong!
"That damned outsider killed my son, I only wanted revenge. Apart from that, everything I did was for the clan!"
Lin Yun crossed his arms and sneered as he watched from the side.
"Haha …"
The 3rd Elder's words echoed in the surroundings. Many Dark Elves felt that the 3rd Elder was shameless. In the past, he was the most serious and strict Elder of the clan, but now, he had become the craziest person. Moreover, he was so shameless that even the most ordinary Dark Elves couldn't stand it.
The 2nd Elder was so angry that he didn't have anything else to vent, so he coldly pointed at the 3rd Elder.
"Broust, you really are crazy! First, you rebelled and stirred up the clan's internal strife, then you colluded with that evil Evil Dragon Warlord and almost caused our clan to fall into destruction. You are crazy! For the sake of power, you disregarded everything!
"I saw what Merlin did with my own eyes. Merlin found the Life Pattern Crystal's Incarnation and even made the Life Pattern Crystal undergo nirvanic rebirth. Since you already knew, why didn't you give up? "Weren't you doing it for the clan? "Why did you stir up internal strife and attract the Evil Dragon Warlord after knowing that the Life Pattern Crystal had recovered?"
The 3rd Elder was speechless. After a while, he stubbornly dragged Lin Yun down with him.
"I was blinded by hatred. It was all because of that damned outsider! I only wanted to kill him to avenge Jers and forgot about everything else!"
The 3rd Elder still wanted to say something, but the Great Elder suddenly spoke.
"Broust, I'm really disappointed in you. You are truly hopeless. For your own selfish desires, you wanted to bury the entire Dark Elven Clan. This is something I saw with my own eyes.
"In order to survive, you could use the lives of all Dark Elves to exchange for our clan's benefactors. You are no longer worthy of being called the 3rd Elder of the Dark Elven Clan, and you are even less worthy of being a Dark Elf."
The Third Elder still wanted to say something, but the First Elder suddenly shouted.
"Shut up! Do you really think I don't know what you've done all these years? Why do you think the 2nd Elder was in charge of the Dark Elven Clan when I entered the Lightless Dreamland?
The most loyal defender of the tribal laws? The most righteous elder?
Bullshit!
What has that stupid son of yours been doing all these years? Robbing others' spoils of war, harming the tribe's female elves, secretly killing the tribe's geniuses, stealing the tribe's precious resources …
If it wasn't for the fact that our tribe is facing the danger of extinction, I would have killed him first!
And you, the so-called loyal defender of the tribal rules, what have you done?
In order to cover up your son's crimes, you framed the people he harmed with all kinds of groundless charges, or used your power to threaten them.
The Dark Elves that offended you, the Dark Elves that disobeyed you, all of them were banished from the tribe with all kinds of crimes, and the places they were banished to were all forbidden areas where they would undoubtedly die!
"Do you really think I don't know anything?
The Life Pattern Crystal's Incarnation disappeared, and time was running out. I didn't want the tribe to fall into turmoil, so I endured, but I hadn't expected you to reach such a deranged level.
"You thought I didn't know that you were secretly in contact with the Ash Beastmen? "In order to appease you, I pretended not to know, in order to keep the tribe stable while I was in the Lightless Dreamland.
"I really regret not making you pay the price for your crimes earlier!"
The Great Elder angrily shouted. The 3rd Elder was thoroughly stunned, he didn't know that the Great Elder had already grasped everything about him.
As for the surrounding Dark Elves, they were in an uproar. Many of their loved ones had died, and they were already weeping bitter tears. They were all emotional and even wanted to rush into the square to kill the 3rd Elder on the spot.
The scene instantly became chaotic. The 3rd Elder stood in the center of the square, his complexion deathly pale. He looked at the surrounding angry Dark Elves, and even more at the expressionless Great Elder, who didn't seem to have seen him. He was even more afraid that these crazy Dark Elves would rush in and beat him to death.
The emotional Dark Elves were stopped by the others, and the scene slowly calmed down. But all the Dark Elves were still hatefully looking at the 3rd Elder.
At this time, the Great Elder slowly stood up.
A codex appeared in his hand. This was the law of the Dark Elven Clan. The Great Elder put his hand on the codex and solemnly announced his verdict.
"I, Carnegie Jiali, as the Great Elder of the Dark Elven Clan, declare that Broust, you are guilty of betraying the Dark Elves!
"Starting from today, you are stripped of your Dark Elven status, all your positions, and all your rights. But in view of your former status as an Elder of the Dark Elven Clan and the seriousness of your crimes, I won't sentence you to death. You will be imprisoned in the Lightless Forbidden Area forever!"
When the Great Elder's hand left the codex, the surrounding Dark Elves finally started cheering. Everyone was angrily roaring, venting their emotions, and the applause was like an ocean.
"I refuse to accept this! I refuse to accept this! No, it shouldn't be like this! I'm doing this for the Dark Elven Clan, I'm the clan's hero! You don't understand me! This damned outsider is the sinner, he is the sinner, aaah … "
The 3rd Elder's face was filled with fear as he frantically roared. He wanted to struggle free, but the 3rd Elder suddenly started letting out a blood-curdling scream.
The magic patterns on his body shone one after the other. These magic patterns were like red-hot branding iron, and a large amount of mana was roused.
Then, those mageweaths dimmed once again, and the mageweaths that originally carried mana aura seemed to have turned into sinister scars …
His magic patterns had been completely destroyed.
The power of the magic patterns had completely disappeared. Moreover, these magic patterns had left deep scars on his body. These scars were like holes, causing the Third Elder's Mana to rapidly leak out. In just a few seconds, the Third Elder's Level had fallen by one.
The Great Elder waved his hand, and a crack suddenly appeared in the sky. A pitch-black vortex appeared in the surroundings of the crack and slowly turned into a three-meter-big pitch-black hole.
The inside of the hole was pitch-black, without a single bit of light. It looked like the bloody mouth of a silent behemoth.
All the Dark Elves turned silent when this hole appeared. Many of them had fear on their faces, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying.
The 3rd Elder screamed in alarm and begged for mercy, but his body slowly rose up and flew towards the hole.
"Great Elder, we are as close as brothers, you can't do this to me, you can't do this to me, no, I don't want to go …"
The Great Elder looked at the flying 3rd Elder and seemed to be sighing.
"Broust, it was because we were as close as brothers that I indulged you and made you commit such a huge mistake. You betrayed the Dark Elves and intended to destroy the Dark Elves. No matter who you are, you can't be forgiven!"
The 3rd Elder's face was already distorted from fright. The closer he got to the hole, the more intense the fear in his eyes became. By the time he reached the hole, the 3rd Elder's eyes were a bit unfocused, he was scared to death.
Lin Yun frowned, a bit puzzled. 'Why didn't the Great Elder execute the 3rd Elder?'
Moreover, looking at the expressions of the surrounding Dark Elves, it seemed that no one felt that this punishment wasn't severe enough. They all looked as if their hatred had been vented.
They also seemed very afraid as they looked at the hole.
'Is the Lightless Forbidden Area related to the Lightless Dreamland?'
The 2nd Elder saw that Lin Yun was a bit doubtful and explained in a low voice, "The Lightless Forbidden Area is the place where the Great Elder fell asleep.
"The Lightless Forbidden Area is the place where the Great Elder is slumbering. The effects of entering the Lightless Dreamland are the best there, and there are no disturbances. You can only come out after advancing to the Heaven Rank. Apart from the final stages before advancing to the Heaven Rank, no Dark Elf would take the initiative to enter that place.
"Who knows how many 9th Rank Archmages have entered that place in history, but unfortunately, only a few came out.
"Thus, the Lightless Forbidden Area is usually the Dark Elves' biggest prison. After entering, as long as they haven't advanced to the Heaven Rank, they can't come out.
"The Great Elder stripped the 3rd Elder of his Dark Elven status and his magic patterns were completely destroyed. After entering, he can't even enter the Lightless Dreamland. He can only suffer endless torture and endless fear until he dies.
"This punishment is the most severe punishment the Dark Elven Clan can receive!"
A trace of understanding appeared on Lin Yun's face. 'Sure enough, this is the most frightening punishment. Death isn't the most severe punishment for Dark Elves, pain is!'
After entering, they would suffer endless torture before dying. It would be worse than living a life worse than death.
The 3rd Elder obtaining this outcome was really satisfying. All the Dark Elves in the square were cheering, and the Dark Elves who had been persecuted before were kneeling on the ground and weeping bitterly.
After judging 3rd Elder Broust, the 2nd Elder seemed to remember something and promptly pulled the Great Elder over.
"Great Elder, this is the High Mage Merlin who saved our Dark Elven Clan. Don't look down on Merlin just because he is a 9th Rank High Mage. He can fight me for a very long time without falling into a disadvantageous position."
Even with Lin Yun's thick skin, he felt a bit embarrassed. He had been taking advantage of the 2nd Elder last time.
"2nd Elder must be joking, you were letting me win …"
