Spring passed and autumn came. Time passed slowly. In the blink of an eye, another year had passed. It had been four years since Leo had lived in seclusion in the valley.
On this day, Firis rode the Lightning Leopard Avis to Cerre to buy daily necessities.
Phyllis wasn't a Sanctuary Contender after all, so she couldn't stop eating and drinking. During these four years, she would come to Cerre once a month to relax and buy some daily necessities.
Ever since Phyllis had followed Leo, she had been able to eat the meat of high-level magical beasts and even Saint-level magical beasts. The essence contained in the meat was not inferior to some natural treasures, so Phyllis's cultivation speed was also very fast.
Finally, in the last year, Firis had finally reached the ninth rank. It had taken her six years to advance from the eighth rank to the ninth rank, but she was only twenty-three years old now.
For a warrior of the eighth rank to break through to the ninth rank, it required either luck or luck. The vast majority of people would be stuck at the peak of the eighth rank for years or even decades. Even the original Linley had been stuck at the peak of the eighth rank for many years. However, there were also people who had just reached the peak of level eight. Perhaps they would advance to level nine the next day after sleeping.
Without a doubt, Phyllis belonged to the latter. She had unknowingly broken through while comprehending the Elemental Laws, and the rarest part was that the entire process had been smooth sailing, without the slightest bit of reluctance.
"Avis!" Firis stroked the Thunder Leopard's fur and said," I'm going to have a good meal in the city this time…"
Phyllis kept talking to Avis along the way.
"Eh?" Phyllis suddenly exclaimed softly," Someone is fighting over there? It's been a long time since I've seen anyone fight. Let's go over and take a look!”
………………………
In the desolate wilderness, dozens of people from a convoy fell to the ground. The black blood looked even more sinister. At this moment, a young girl riding a purple leopard suddenly appeared. It was Firis and Avis.
Seeing the girl and the purple panther suddenly appear, a black panther on the other side immediately jumped in front of the two of them and was on guard.
At the same time, everyone stared at Firis and the purple panther.
"Who are you?" An old servant in the carriage asked.
"Linley?"
Without waiting for Phyllis's reply, the Rushing Thunder Leopard looked at a young man beside the carriage and said,"
" It…it's talking…" A young man on Carriage Mountain heard the Rushing Thunder Leopard speak in human language and immediately hugged the girl beside him in panic." Saint…Saint Domain Magical Beast!”
At the same time, Linley looked at the panther, his face growing more and more excited. He said excitedly,"Avis…you're Avis, right?! Where's Leo?"
"Wait here for a moment. I've already informed Master. He'll be here soon.”Thunder Leopard Avis said.
"Good! Good!" Linley, upon hearing the news of his brother, whom he hadn't seen for many years, immediately became excited.
"You are Leo's older brother, Linley, Linley Baruch?”Firis examined Linley from head to toe."A warrior of the eighth rank? Even I can't compare to him!" Even after transforming, he's only about the same as me.”
"Uh…" Hearing this, Linley felt a bit awkward."You are?"”
"I'm Phyllis, Leo's companion.”Phyllis laughed." As an older brother, you're too far behind your younger brother! Leo had been a Grand Magus Saint for many years.”
"I already knew that Leo was a Grand Magus Saint.”Linley said calmly.
"Sister!" At this moment, the young man hiding in the carriage said to the young girl beside him," Big Brother Ley, his younger brother is a Grand Magus Saint. He's so powerful…"
The old servant was also impressed."Truly formidable. Birds of a feather flock together. Experts are experts. Even their relatives and friends are peerless experts.
"Rumble!"
At this moment, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky with a thunderous rumble and flew directly in front of everyone. After the lightning dissipated, a 1.9-meter-tall young man with a purple longsword on his back appeared in front of everyone.
"Big brother!" Leo laughed as he looked at Linley's back.
"Second brother!" Linley looked at this familiar face in pleasant surprise as well. He immediately walked forward and hugged Leo.
"From the looks of it, you must have drunk dragon blood and can transform!”Leo sized Linley up."Four years ago, I brought a Saint-level Armored Razorback Wyrm to look for you. Unfortunately, you weren't there…"
"Armored Razorback Wyrm…" Linley sighed."At that time, I went to the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts to train, but it was there that I drank the blood of an Armored Razorback Wyrm before transforming. I really am fated with the Armored Razorback Wyrm!”
"Haha!" Leo chuckled." It's not fate. I caught a total of eight Saint-level dragons at that time. I wanted to give them to you to choose from. However, he later realized that bringing a large group of Saint-level magical beasts to the academy would not be a good idea, so he simply picked one and brought it over.”
"Eight…" Linley was flabbergasted.
" Big Brother Ley…" At this moment, a delicate young lady in the carriage suddenly spoke up.
"Ah!" Hearing the girl's voice, Linley immediately said,"Leo, let me introduce you. This is Jenne and Keane, the siblings. I promised them that I would escort them to Cerre."”
"It's okay. Let's talk as we walk!”Leo laughed. Then he doubled the size of the Lightning Leopard, jumped on it, and sat behind Phyllis.
After four years of solitude, Phyllis also had a strange feeling about Leo. Feeling Leo's breath behind her, Phyllis blushed slightly, but then pretended to be fine.
The convoy continued to move forward. With Leo joining them, Jenne and Keane were filled with confidence for the future.
"Then let's set off immediately and arrive at Cerre City as soon as possible.”Linley said directly. Immediately, Linley, Leo, and the others sped towards the prefectural city of Cerre, leaving behind a trail of dust on the desolate road.
On the way, Linley and Leo chatted nonstop.
"Leo, you said father isn't dead?" Suddenly, Linley let out a cry of surprise."What's going on? Father clearly left me a will…"
"Don't worry, why would I lie to you about this?”Leo smiled." I went back four years ago. I mainly wanted to help you activate your bloodline. However, when I went back, my father happened to be seriously injured at home. Although his injuries are very serious, they are nothing to a Grand Magus Saint like me. That's why I took my father away. He's now with Wharton, and I've let the Saint-level Overlord Dragon follow him. I don't think he'll be in any danger.”
Leo paused.
"As for later, when I went to your dormitory to look for you, you weren't there either. I originally wanted to wait for you, but I later discovered that a Deity had appeared in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. I was afraid that he would come and find trouble with me, so I left early. "After all, including Avis, I took a total of nine Saint-level magical beasts from the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts…" Leo continued.
"You…" Hearing Leo's words, Linley was tongue-tied as well. But thinking about it, it made sense. Leo had captured so many of his subordinates. That god-tier magical beast might really find trouble with him.
"Right, Linley!" Leo suddenly thought of something and asked," Where's Doehring Cowart?”
Leo suddenly thought of the old man in Linley's ring. He didn't know if he was dead or not. Although Linley was still on the path of metamorphosis as described in the original novel, Leo still asked.
"Grandpa Doehring…" Linley was silent for a moment, then said,"He is currently in a deep slumber, and we don't know when he will wake up.”
"Sleep?" Leo's eyes lit up. This was different from the original.
"It's like this." Linley slowly said,"At that time, I was surrounded by the combined attacks of six Special Executors of the Radiant Church, but fortunately, you gave me a monster core of a Saint-level magical beast, the Worldbear. This allowed Grandpa Doehring to use a forbidden spell. However, that forbidden spell had nearly exhausted Grandpa Doehring's spiritual energy, and he was still in a deep slumber.”
" I see..." Leo thought to himself." I helped him!”
……………………
As they walked and chatted, they soon arrived at Cerre City.
At the city gate.
"Black Panther? Why was there a purple leopard? Could that purple leopard belong to Lady Phyllis?”When the city guard saw Linley and Leo's steeds, he glared at them from afar, then immediately instructed the guard next to him,"Quickly go and report to the mayor's wife. The person she spoke of might have arrived. Phyllis came with them.”
Firis brought the Rushing Thunder Leopard to the city once a month, so many guards knew her. At the same time, they also knew that Firis was a ninth-grade powerhouse.
"Yes."
The guard immediately ran towards the hotel that was very close to the city gate and directly rushed to the second floor. At this moment, there was a soldier guarding the stairs on the second floor. The soldier saw that the person who came was a city gate guard and let him in.
"Countess." The guard knelt on one knee respectfully from afar.
"Countess, the expert you mentioned riding a black leopard magical beast has appeared. Behind him is a carriage. However, Lady Phyllis and her purple panther followed them.”
"What?" Madame Wade didn't respond. Her two brothers exclaimed.
Madame Wade frowned.”
"Yes." The guard retreated respectfully.
At this moment, Madame Wade's two older brothers were beginning to panic. "Younger sister, they actually managed to make it to Cerre City alive. Could it be that old fellow Holmer failed?"”
"Hard to say."
Madame Wade frowned." Perhaps that country bumpkin brother and sister and that black panther expert didn't come here from Redsand City. Perhaps they deliberately took a detour. Holmer and the others missed. But what was up with Phyllis? Why was she with them?”
"What about now?" The two brothers looked at Madame Wade.
"Go down and welcome them." Madame Wade had a hint of a smile on her face. "My two poor children have suffered for so many years. He was finally back. As an aunt, how can I not welcome you?”
As she spoke, Madame Wade began to walk downstairs.
