Lin Yun glanced at the serpent, which, being dozens of meters thick, was like a baby in the Dynson Clan. However, the fact that it had grown so big suggested that it might carry the Dynson Clan’s bloodline.
As far as Lin Yun remembered, the survivors of the Dynson Clan were all in the Plane of the Undead, which was the only ultimate plane that was big enough to allow them to stretch their bodies.
The Dynson Clan was known by mages as the Golden Crown Snakes. The Dynson was a more respectful title for them. Whoever called them Golden Crown Snakes in their face would be committing suicide.
Calling them Golden Crown Snakes was treating them as beasts. The Dynson Clan was their name as an intelligent race.
The way that Geoconie addressed the Dynson Clan suggested that Jophany respected them. He certainly had to. If the black serpent carried the Dynson Clan’s bloodline, Jophany certainly wouldn’t use their demeaning name unless he was stupid.
Thinking about that, Lin Yun remembered Rikk, the Golden Crown Snake he had met earlier. The guy had informed him of his name, and in doing so acknowledged him as a friend. He wondered how Rikk was doing in the Plane of the Undead.
Even the King of the Undead didn’t dare to mess up with such an ancient race. The undead creatures’ strategy didn’t work on the Golden Crown Snakes at all. They could easily kill tens of millions of undead creatures just by rolling around. If they were cornered, they could even destroy an entire plane.
A plane was actually just a nest for the Golden Crown Snakes. They were born as void beasts, and somehow grew fond of resting in planes, treating them as nests. However, because they benefited planes, and they weren’t really ferocious, nobody really wanted to kick them out. Of course, the main reason was that few people were capable of kicking them away.
While Lin Yun considered the matter, the bone car had already landed outside the castle. An old vampire, who looked nobler than a human noble, stood in front of the gate, and looked at Geoconie with a smile.
“Master Geoconie, the ancestor is waiting for you.”
The old vampire didn’t seem too surprised when he saw Lin Yun, and he kept smiling, but his eyes shivered uncontrollably when he saw the bloody scythe of death on Lin Yun’s back.
It was quite remarkable that the level-45 old vampire remained calm in the presence of a scythe of death that was made by sacrificing a vampire ancestor.
The scythe of death was befitting even of a level-49 skeleton king. Also, it naturally suppressed vampires. It wouldn’t be surprising if this vampire was killed by one slash…
Geoconie was quite excited. He carefully glanced at Lin Yun, and put on a cold smile. He led Lin Yun into the castle. Lin Yun was even more casual. He only wished that those vampires would do something.
There was definitely a trap here. However, only four of the 13 vampire ancestors were still alive and in the Plane of the Undead. Two of them couldn’t possibly be here. They were either asleep or occupied with other matters.
The only vampire ancestors Lin Yun could see in the Plane of the Undead were Jophany and another one who was also level-47. Lin Yun might have hesitated to fight them before his advancement and before he acquired the bloody scythe of death, but he was fearless at this moment.
Even if he couldn’t kill the vampire ancestors, they would still be half dead.
There was none of the tension he expected in the castle. All sorts of vampires came out to greet him. They looked like old human nobles. A level-47 vampire who wore a tuxedo stood in the center. Had it not been for his pale face and his bloody aura, nobody would’ve recognized him as a vampire.
“Welcome to visit my humble abode, Sir Buddy. It’s lucky for my child to follow you…”
Jophany was wearing a warm smile, not caring whether Lin Yun could see it at all as a skeleton king…
Lin Yun didn’t know what to do. If the guy had declared war on him, then it would’ve been simpler. However, the guy treated him warmly as a host. He couldn’t find anything wrong with his manners. What more could he ask?
Lin Yun mused, and didn’t burst into fury immediately. He wasn’t here to kill Jophany, anyway, but to capture him alive. It would be better to ask Jophany to cooperate. After all, even if he caught Jophany, he would have to confine him to a place that had fixed coordinates and a fixed gate. Jophany couldn’t be used as a landmark unless he laid his hand on the gate.
If he were to capture Jophany using violence, it was possible that the guy might flee with his other abilities after he entered the Kingdom of Nightmares. If Jophany did escape, then he would never be able to leave the Kingdom of Nightmares…
Remembering what he speculated earlier, Lin Yun abandoned the idea of capturing Jophany forcefully.
“Sir Jophany, I’ve come to you at the request of His Majesty Fogus. I’m going to enter the Kingdom of Nightmares.”
Jophany was shocked at what he heard. He glanced at Geoconie, only to find that his son was just as confused as he was.
Jophany didn’t dare to be reckless now that the King of the Undead was mentioned. He thought that the guy was a troublemaker, but seeing that Geoconie was at a loss, he put on a gloomy expression.
Exactly at this moment, waves spread out in the space, and Heaven Rank vampires and dark beasts emerged and surrounded this place. Arcane spells were echoing continuously. At the gate, a black serpent dozens of meters thick craned its head and stared at Lin Yun.
Lin Yun looked around, and showed no reaction. Jophany, however, panicked. Seeing how confused Geoconie was, he kicked him away.
Damn it, what an idiot. He said that it’s a lone, exiled skeleton king. Why hasn’t his stupidity killed him yet?
That bloody scythe of death is clearly two levels higher than the skeleton king, yet it acknowledges him as a master. Does he really look like a skeleton king who has been exiled after losing a battle?
He must be King Fogus’ guardian. Nobody except King Fogus could’ve let the weird scythe of death acknowledge a level-47 skeleton king as a master.
Geoconie is so stupid. I almost made a horrible mistake because of him. If I killed King Fogus’ guardian, all vampires would be torn to shreds by him.
Jophany’s eyes were shivering. He was so frightened that he couldn’t even control his power. He kicked Geoconie so brutally that Geoconie hit the castle wall, and had more than 20 broken bones. He almost died.
After kicking Geoconie away in fury, Jophany hurriedly waved at the ambushers, and asked them to back off.
Although his subordinates who were ambushing didn’t understand what was going on, they obediently backed off. Looking at the skeleton king, who seemed to have trouble figuring out the situation, he was greatly relieved.
I’m really lucky. I bet he’s never been surrounded like that before. He didn’t realize it was a trap. He must be King Fogus’ favorite guardian. It’s said that King Fogus loves skeleton kings the most. That seems true. It’s possible that this slim guy is a new-generation skeleton king that King Fogus raised. He’s so slim, yet he’s already level-47. It’s possible that he’s not even 1,000 years old yet.
If King Fogus has personally trained him, then he must be very strong…
After Jophany was relieved, Lin Yun suddenly turned around, and walked to the black serpent behind him. The black serpent didn’t follow Jophany’s order, and continued staring at him.
Lin Yun rose to the ceiling, and stopped in front of the black serpent, sending out soul waves…
“Are you Rikk’s descendant? Do you know where he is? I haven’t seen him in a long time since he came to the Plane of the Undead…”
After Lin Yun’s casual soul wave remark spread out, the black serpent’s expression changed. His cold eyes became gentle. He even lowered his head a little bit obediently.
“I didn’t know you were Sir Rikk’s friend. Forgive me for my impudence. I don’t know where Sir Rikk is right now. I’m not qualified to go to the Golden Ocean…” the black serpent replied to Lin Yun respectfully with his head lowered. He didn’t suspect Lin Yun at all.
There were very few members of the Dynson Clan that carried pure bloodlines. It was great news that Rikk returned to the Plane of the Undead. The other guys who carried the Dynson Clan’s bloodline benefited a lot from his return too.
Because of the bloodline suppression, even a level-48 bloodline descendant had to behave obediently in front of Rikk…
It was big news that Rikk returned to the Dynson Clan, but his name was never spread out. Even inside the Dynson Clan, only the members who were familiar with Rikk knew his full name. Except for the Dynson Clan and their offspring, no outsiders possibly knew his name.
