Chapter 517: Threat

"Bresle, run!"

After entering the Water Divine Plane, Linley spread his divine sense and quickly discovered that Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff had already arrived at the location of the Azure Dragon Army.

At that moment, Linley could only transmit his voice to Bresle and tell him to flee as quickly as possible.

Bresle was currently in seclusion in his cultivation chamber, studying magic arrays.

After hearing Sovereign Linley's voice transmission, although Bresle did not know what had happened, he did not dare to be negligent.

A crisis that could make a Sovereign personally transmit his voice and tell him to flee was simply not something that an insignificant Seven Star Fiend like him could resist.

Even if he possessed a Sovereign artifact, it would be useless.

Thus, Bresle did not hesitate. He quickly left the cultivation chamber and transformed into a streak of white light, fleeing into the distance.

Unfortunately, the one pursuing Bresle this time was not a divine-level lifeform, but a Rule Chief Sovereign standing at the very peak of the Sovereigns.

A gigantic palm appeared from the heavens. Like grabbing an ant, it seized Bresle in its grasp before disappearing into the sky, leaving behind only the soldiers of the Azure Dragon Army kneeling on the ground.

They did not know why Bresle had been captured by that gigantic palm, nor did they dare to know.

That sort of existence was already beyond the realm of gods.

Just the pressure radiating from that enormous hand was enough for the soldiers of the Azure Dragon Army to understand that this was an incident far beyond their ability to interfere with.

They should be grateful from the bottom of their hearts that the enormous hand had merely captured Lord Bresle.

Otherwise, if that palm had struck down, all the soldiers of the Azure Dragon Army stationed here would probably have been annihilated.

"Damn it!"

Several breaths later, Linley's figure appeared above Azure Dragon Island.

"Greetings, Lord Linley."

"Greetings, Sovereign."

Upon seeing their Sovereign, the soldiers of the Azure Dragon Army hurriedly greeted Linley.

"Mm, rise."

Because Bresle had been captured by Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff, Linley was in no mood to say anything to the soldiers of his Sovereign Army. After telling them to rise, he casually tore open a spatial rift in the Water Divine Plane and entered the spatial turbulence.

"Orloff!"

After arriving at the Celestial Realm, Linley directly tore through the spatial turbulence and entered the Celestial Realm.

His divine sense spread out, and Linley quickly located Orloff. He transformed into a streak of light and flew toward Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.

"Linley, you've come."

At this moment, Orloff had once again transformed his material defense Overgod artifact into the August Garden. He and the restrained Bresle were standing in the pavilion within the August Garden.

Seeing Linley, Orloff smiled and nodded in greeting, as though none of the grievances between them had ever happened.

Seeing this Orloff, Linley felt a chill in his heart.

Putting everything else aside, just this mentality of Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff was enough for Linley to realize that no matter what, he could never reach such a state of mind.

"Orloff, the grievances between the two of us should be resolved between the two of us."

"To drag a divine-level lifeform into our grievances, Orloff, have you fallen this far?"

Having successfully seized Bresle, Orloff was in an excellent mood.

Thus, he did not care about Linley's evaluation of him.

"Chief Sovereign Linley, you've misunderstood me."

"I have no ill intentions toward Bresle."

"Who would believe that?"

Linley sneered. "If you truly have no ill intentions toward Bresle, then release him."

"Orloff, stealing another person's Sovereign emissary is something only you could do."

"Alas, Chief Sovereign Linley, your prejudice against me is deeper than I imagined."

"In fact, Bresle and I have been having a very pleasant conversation."

"We are members of the same race, and there are many matters concerning the secrets of the Bula Tribe that we have in common to discuss. That is why I wanted to speak with Bresle."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Bresle yourself."

Only after hearing Orloff say this did Linley turn his gaze toward Bresle.

"Bresle, are you all right?"

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Linley. I'm fine."

Bresle bowed to Linley as he spoke. In his heart, he was deeply moved by the importance Linley placed on him.

Not every Sovereign was willing to go to war with another Sovereign for the sake of an insignificant Sovereign emissary.

Moreover, the Sovereign who had abducted him was none other than the Rule Chief Sovereign standing at the very peak of the Sovereigns—Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.

Although Bresle was only a Seven Star Fiend, he still knew of Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff's existence.

"Please rest assured, Lord Linley. Lord Orloff truly has no ill intentions toward me."

Bresle did not know what Orloff wanted with him.

However, Chief Sovereign Linley was willing to chase after him from the Water Divine Plane all the way to the Celestial Realm, taking a stance as though he was prepared to fight Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff. Bresle did not want Linley to suffer any injuries because of him.

The most important thing now was to prevent Lord Linley from continuing to come into conflict with Lord Orloff because of him.

Of course, Bresle had another concern.

Chief Sovereign Linley and Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff were both lofty Sovereigns.

He was merely a Seven Star Fiend. Although he possessed a certain level of attainment in magic arrays, he did not believe that he could change the fact that, in front of a Sovereign, he was merely an ant.

He simply had no right to refuse a Sovereign's invitation.

Furthermore, because he was currently right beside Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff, Bresle had no choice but to favor Orloff.

Otherwise, he might not even live long enough to wait for Chief Sovereign Linley to rescue him before being killed by Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff.

Hearing Bresle's words, Linley frowned.

"Bresle, if Orloff threatened you, tell me directly."

"You are my Sovereign emissary. If you do not agree, then even Orloff cannot force you."

Bresle smiled bitterly.

If he were beside Sovereign Linley, he could indeed say that he had been threatened.

But now, could he say that?

Seeing Bresle's expression, Linley also understood.

If he asked Bresle this now, what difference would there be between that and forcing Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff to kill Bresle?

At once, Linley shifted his gaze away from Bresle and said solemnly to Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff, "Orloff, you win this round."

"Bresle will temporarily remain here with you."

"But I will constantly spread my divine sense throughout the Celestial Realm."

"If there is ever a time when I cannot sense Bresle's soul aura in the Celestial Realm, then don't blame me for disregarding the rules."

"You, Orloff, possess three Overgod artifacts. For now, there is nothing I can do to you."

"But the Sovereigns who follow you, whether they are Fate Sovereigns, Light Sovereigns, or whatever other Sovereigns they may be, don't possess Overgod artifacts."

"I want to see, when I launch attacks against the Sovereigns under your command, just how many of them you, Orloff, can protect."
