Chapter 460: Ashburn’s Good Brother (10,000)

Ashburn could never have imagined that what he had just said to Simmons would instantly reach Ron’s ears.

After hearing the information provided by Lydia, Ron was really shocked.

I had heard from Isabel before that the Pope of the Church of Nature's Heart, the Grand Saint, had been very close to a mysterious man in recent times, and these people seemed to be plotting something.

Ron knew that they had big ambitions, but he was still shocked when he heard that these people actually wanted to absorb the arm of the last Twilight King.

Sure enough, there is never a shortage of such reckless guys in this world.

The last Twilight King.

His fellow villager, senior, was a more terrifying being than any ordinary evil god. Even if it was just an arm, the power contained in it was not something that ordinary people could withstand.

Although Ashborn had some strength, he would be annihilated in an instant if he tried to contact the power of God. Are these people crazy? However, they actually thought of using the power of God to break the shackles, which shows that they have some knowledge.

The shackles of destiny, Ron had seen this thing more than once.

Although these shackles look rough in appearance, they are extremely ingeniously designed and have just the right strength.

For Helfeson and now Ron, it should not be difficult to cut off these shackles, but for legendary practitioners, it is a natural barrier that they can never cross no matter how hard they try, no matter how powerful their weapons and equipment are. These shackles restrict the power of practitioners to the legendary realm. Unless there is an extremely powerful external force to help, it is impossible to break through.

Christian, the Great Saint of the Dawn Goddess, was extremely talented. With just a word of reminder from Ron, she was able to gain enlightenment overnight and reach the pinnacle of legend. Arianna, the first Valkyrie of Granville, carried the legacy of the Star God Selma, and her fighting power was slightly higher than Christian's. However, even these two, when trying to break through the checkpoints, still ended in failure.

The seven levels of illusion are enough to screen out most of the practitioners.

The huge chains behind made the practitioners understand what despair is.

These people can see the problem clearly and want to use external forces to overcome it. At least they have embarked on a path that is barely feasible.

It's just that, Karem Andre.

It is not surprising that the Andre family, as a mysterious family with a history of at least 8,000 years, knows some of the secrets and has thought of ways to crack them. What is strange about Ron is... is Carem really so kind?

The method of breaking through the realm of destruction should be considered as very valuable information even in the Andre family. How could it be so easy to tell others? When did this family that has been stirring up trouble behind the scenes become so selfless?

Ron was 100% sure that this Calem Andre was definitely planning to trick Ashburn and Marcelino.

Holding his chin with his fingers, Ron fell into deep thought... Come to think of it, this was not the first time that the Andre family had created a master like this.

In Granville, the descendants of the saint, the branch of the Andre family, also tried to create a strong person. They used the saint's wife as the main body and tried to turn Sally Andre into an extremely terrifying monster.

The image of that huge mountain of meat reappeared in Ron's mind.

The Andre family is indeed very experienced in creating strange and terrifying masters. Although there is a certain gap between the appearance and their original plan, in terms of strength, they are definitely successful.

Not only did they create an extremely powerful monster, they even controlled it step by step.

If Sally's soul had not been split out in time, the huge mountain of flesh in the Andre family's underground space would have completely turned into a killing machine in the hands of the Andre family.

Could it be that this Karem Andre also had the same plan? The risk was taken by Ashburn, Marcelino and the others. If it failed, Karem would not suffer any loss. If it succeeded, Karem would have an extra puppet of destruction that he could manipulate at will? Based on Ron's understanding of the Andre family, they would definitely be able to do such a thing.

As for helping to kill himself and Heferson as a reward after the mission was accomplished, it was definitely just an excuse made by Karem to make it sound more convincing.

Although Ron was not afraid even if these people joined forces, as a man of fun, how could he miss such a good opportunity to add fuel to the fire? After a little thought, Ron had already made up his mind.

At this moment, a figure appeared outside the door.

It’s the head of the Copperfield family... Balk!

…

The Kingdom of Sibang, the royal city.

A small but quite luxurious house.

This is the residence of the Holy Son Ashborn.

Ashburn did not live in the Papal Palace... although he grew up in the Papal Palace and had long been accustomed to that place.

However, ever since he killed his four brothers, everything became a little different. His father's occasional glances at him made Ashbern shudder, and he always felt that if he was not careful, he would be strangled to death in his sleep by his father.

On Simmons's advice, he moved out of the Palais.

Although the house outside is a little smaller and not as luxurious, it is a good place to sleep.

But today, there was a little bit of an unexpected thing. Although the day had passed and the bright moon was hanging in the sky again, Ashbern had no intention of sleeping at all. He was more awake than ever.

One can even clearly see some anxiety on the scarred face.

Ashburn was waiting for Simmons' answer. Ever since Simmons had been serving as his military advisor, no matter what troubles he encountered, Simmons could always give him an answer in the shortest time.

But this time it was different. Perhaps the matter was really too serious. Simmons was unable to make suggestions at the first time. Instead, he said he would wait and he needed some time to think about it. And this wait lasted for most of the day.

Ashburn became more and more anxious. Although he knew that this matter was of great importance and that if he was not careful, his life would be at stake... However, Ashburn was more worried that Karem might choose someone else because he could not wait any longer.

After all, this golden opportunity only comes once to him.

Just when Ashburn was about to be unable to bear it, Simmons' door finally creaked open from the inside.

Ashburn's eyelids twitched suddenly, and a layer of joy suddenly appeared on his ugly face.

He walked up impatiently, not even caring that the other party was also a man, and grabbed Simmons' hand: "Sir, what do you think?"

When Ashburn grabbed his hand, Simmons felt a chill all over his body. He pulled his hand away without leaving a trace, cleared his throat and said, "Your Highness, even if I advise you to give up, are you willing to listen to me?"

Ashburn's face turned red and he felt a little embarrassed.

He did have this idea, and had planned to listen to Simmons' advice before, but during this period of waiting, he became more and more tormented, more and more anxious, and more and more greedy.

His desire for destructive power was growing almost every second. He had made up his mind that even if Mr. Simmons didn't allow him, he would never give up. However, he didn't expect that Mr. Simmons would be so disrespectful and say it directly. For a moment, he looked a little embarrassed and didn't know how to respond to Simmons.

Seeing Yashibourne Simmons sighed helplessly: “Forget it, since the Holy Son has made up his mind, I will not stop him.”

As soon as these words came out, Ashburn immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no way. He was now completely accustomed to letting Simmons make the decisions. Even if he had already made up his mind about something, he would still feel uneasy without Simmons's nod. Now that he heard that Simmons also agreed, he immediately felt a lot more at ease.

"but……"

When he heard these two words, Ashburn's heart trembled.

Damn, if you have something to say, can’t you just say it all at once? These two words sound really creepy.

Fortunately, this time, Simmons did not delay any further: "However, Your Highness the Holy Son must remember that there is no gift in this world for no reason."

"Becoming a destructive master, how tempting it is for a cultivator, Your Highness the Saint Son knows better than anyone else, why would such a good thing fall on Sir's head for no reason?"

Ashborn's breathing stagnated slightly: "Kareem said that it was because my obsession was the most..."

Simmons sneered: "Obsession...haha what a joke."

"Haha, Lord Saint, do you believe this yourself?"

"Which cultivator who can reach the legendary realm does not have a strong obsession with breaking through the realm of destruction?"

"Do you dare to say that your father Marcelino is not obsessed with reaching the state of destruction? Is your mother, Ms. Mireya, not obsessed with breaking through the state of destruction?"

"Even that old man named Kareem, isn't he obsessed with becoming a destructive master?"

Ashburn was silent, his eyes gradually becoming solemn.

He himself was once a legendary master, and he was very clear about the improvement of his realm. For a master of this level, what kind of temptation it was, and no practitioner would miss such an opportunity.

"Even if your parents really don't care about the growth of strength, don't they care about other things?"

"Your father has been busy for most of his life, trying desperately to expand the family's influence, trying to suppress the nobles and the royal family, and become the master of the entire Sibang Theocracy. Is this obsession that has been passed down for thousands of years deep?"

Ashburn's expression became more and more ugly: "Sir, what you mean is that they are lying to me?"

Simmons shook his head slightly: "It's not necessarily a deception. There should still be a slight chance of success, but the process is definitely extremely risky. If you're not careful, you might die."

"The most important thing is, although Kareem made a request that if the Saint Son succeeds, he must help him kill Heferson and Ron...but how much value does this verbal agreement have?"

"If you really become a destructive master, even if you break the agreement, what can Kareem do to you? Isn't he afraid?"

The more Simmons spoke, the uglier Ashburn's expression became.

He felt a little scared.

He was overwhelmed by the excitement before, but now that Simmons reminded him, Ashburn realized that there were traps everywhere and it was weird everywhere.

His voice also became a little depressed: "So, what exactly do they want to do?"

At this moment, Simmons smiled confidently: "In fact, as long as we change our perspective and think from Kareem's perspective, we will understand."

"Kareem wants to deal with Ron and Hefferson. Both of them have the strength of destruction level, which is absolutely beyond the reach of ordinary legendary masters. Therefore, Kareem is desperate to create a destruction level master... However, although Kareem knows how to break through the destruction level, the mortality rate of this method is too high. He dare not try it himself, so he can only push this opportunity to others."

"But, once the selected target breaks through the destruction level, its strength will increase dramatically, and it is very likely to become disobedient. What should we do then?"

Ashburn was not stupid, but he used to leave everything to Simmons. Now that Simmons reminded him of this, his mind immediately started to spin: "Then there are only two ways to go. The first is to give up."

"Second, before the selected target breaks through the destruction level, prepare some means in advance so that even if the target breaks through the destruction level, it will not dare or cannot break the previous agreement."

Simmons nodded in admiration: "Yes, it is obvious that Kareem chose the second one."

Some clues in Ashburn's mind became clearer and clearer at this time: "This method of forcing others to obey your orders, or threatening them with the lives of their loved ones... ahem..."

Before he could finish his words, Ashburne's face turned red.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

He could even kill his four brothers with his own hands.

As long as Karem is not a fool, he will not threaten him in this way.

"Then he could only have poisoned my body in advance. He is the only one who has the antidote. In this case, even if I break through to become a destructive-level expert, I won't be able to escape from Kareem's grasp."

Simmons clapped his hands and laughed: "Not bad, not bad, Master Saint is indeed smart and understands it immediately."

After a pause, Simmons continued, "Of course, in my opinion, even if the poison is prepared in advance, it may not be safe."

"If it were me, I would also prepare some additional means to manipulate people's hearts and minds and control their spirits and souls."

"This way, we have double insurance."

"Even if the Saint Son breaks through the realm of destruction, he can only become a puppet in my hands. Not to mention killing Ron and Hefferson, from now on they can only become weapons in my hands. I will kill whoever I say to."

Hiss! This is really a very vicious method.

Thinking of that possibility, Ashburn felt a little scared.

If it was really as Simmons said, even if Ron was killed and Isabel was rescued, how much happiness could there be? After all, he would be someone else's puppet for the rest of his life, which was more painful for Ashburn than killing him.

Moreover, the more he thought about that old man, Kareem, the more he felt that he was not a good person. What if he asked him to sacrifice Isabel...

Oh, God.

Ashburn felt that his associative ability was becoming more and more rich. The images that emerged in his mind made Ashburn's mood become extremely bad, and his face was as black as an iron pot.

"Since the Saint Son has made up his mind and is unwilling to let go of this opportunity, please be careful not to sign any contracts, do not eat any food provided by Kareem or even your father and mother, do not drink any potions or water, and do not give the other party any chance to manipulate you."

"Also, it's better to get more people here so that we can distract Kareem."

"And I must act together with the Holy Son... otherwise I won't feel at ease."

Ashburn's nose felt sore.

He even had the urge to shed tears.

Good brother.

When he was down and out, everyone left him except Simmons, who stayed with him from beginning to end. It is worth it to have such a good brother in this world.

…

The Copperfield family.

At this moment, there was an uproar within the family.

Almost all the important people in the family gathered in the main hall of the family. Intense anger could be clearly seen on everyone's face.

For so many years, they have always been the ones bullying others. When have they ever been bullied like this?

The family heir O'Neill was directly crippled, and Kane was even cut into a human stick... Although these two are still alive, even an idiot knows that they have become completely useless. It is better to be dead than alive. From now on, they will have to live in endless pain for the rest of their lives.

Everyone was angry, and the angriest one was Balk's younger brother, Duin, the second in command of the Copperfield family.

When he saw Onir's limbs broken and his body covered in blood, Duin felt as if a knife had been stabbed into his heart, spinning violently. The unbearable heartache made his body tremble.

Although Onil is nominally the eldest brother's son, in fact, his blood is that of Duin.

Seeing O'Neill become like this, how could he not feel heartbroken? Seeing his sister-in-law in tears, how could he not feel sad? In comparison, Kane, who was even more miserable, didn't care much about him.

What made Duin even more unbearable was that even though O'Neill had become like this, the head of the family, Balk, didn't seem to care at all. After returning, he just casually ordered people to drag O'Neill away for treatment, and then did not mention revenge at all. He even went out for a walk this morning.

In this situation, where did this bastard get the mood from? Although Onil was not his biological son, he was at least his nephew. How could he not care at all?

Putting aside the issue of blood relationship, I have raised her for more than 20 years. Could it be that I don't have any feelings for her at all?

How can a person be so cold and heartless?

Bah, what a scumbag.

Du Yin cursed Balk countless times in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that what he did was so terrible, he would have rushed to Balk, pointed his finger at Balk's nose, and asked this brother harshly, "Are you a man?" Although he didn't do it directly, seeing Balk's indifferent look, Du Yin couldn't bear it after all. His face was gloomy and he stepped forward suddenly: "Brother, our Copperfield family has been bullied. In thousands of years, when has our family suffered such a big loss?"

"As the head of the family, are you prepared to be a coward for the rest of your life?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a commotion all around.

Every look towards Balke was filled with intense dissatisfaction. It was obvious that these people felt that what Balke had done was really beneath the dignity of the Copperfield family.

Seeing that everyone around him was aroused by him, Du Yin grinned and spoke again: "Could it be that just because Ron is your son, you can't bear to kill him?"

"Pah, a bastard born by a lowly maid. I never thought you would care so much about it, brother."

"I really feel sorry for Ernie. Ron is your son, but Ernie is not?"

Balk's eyes narrowed into slits, and he cursed in his heart as he watched Duin jumping up and down in the hall.

Damn it, are you my son? You don’t have any idea, do you?

Seeing the excitement around him, Balk's face was not free from anger, and his voice was still as cold as usual: "Second brother, you are very angry."

"In that case, the task of defeating Ron is now handed over to you. Don't worry, as your eldest brother, I will never cover up for you. You can go wherever you want. As long as you can take down Ron's head, I will let you take the position of the head of the family. How about that?"

Crunch.

As soon as these words were spoken, Du Yin's expression suddenly changed, and anger turned directly into embarrassment.

The words that were about to come out of his mouth got stuck in his throat and stopped abruptly.

Are you kidding me? Ron is a monster.

Although he did not see the scene with his own eyes, he had heard that Ron knocked O'Neill down with one move, grabbed Kane's Hellfire Blade with one hand without any damage on his body, and even cut Kane into a human stick with another move.

With this kind of strength, if I go up there alone, there is no other possibility except suicide!

Damn it, Ron is just a bastard with dirty blood in his body, when did he become so powerful?

After being bullied by Balke, Duinsheng was speechless and stood there for a while, looking embarrassed. The people around him who were instigated by Duin also stopped in an instant, with strange looks on their faces. No one wanted to be the first to stand out.

They want to maintain the honor of the Copperfield family, but it's just talk. If they really want to risk their lives to protect it, there is no one.

"Well, what do you say we should do?" Du Yin had no choice but to take the ball back. There was no other way. After all, you are the head of the family now. You have to take responsibility for this. What's more, Ron is your son.

Balk snorted coldly and did not continue to argue with Duin. He just looked at the manor behind the family castle: "For now, there is only one way to go, and that is..."

"Welcome the ancestor to come out of retreat!"
