Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 381: 196

It revealed a smile and disappeared in a blink of an eye. This scene allowed the Three Perfect Kings to breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this consciousness did not erupt into anger, otherwise the outcome would be miserable for them.

Everything had come to an end; the Grand Elder and his son had perished, and the three had avenged their Young Master. They were already looking forward to being praised by the Family Head when they returned.

Last time, a sibling of the family had simply killed an ordinary enemy, who was just a regular king. The family had immediately promoted him to elder, making everyone envious. This time, they had killed the Lord. The reward must be at least a hundred times greater.

Of course, they dared not think about becoming a vice Family Head; a normal elder would do. This way, their status would not only be promoted, but they could also enjoy the family’s offerings every month, which would guarantee their path of cultivation.

At the same time, the three of them looked at Logan. After all, Logan had contributed to most of this. Why not kill Logan as well? That way, they would get all the credit. Otherwise, once Logan spread the news, they would only look like his subordinates.

Logan felt a murderous intent and immediately understood. “Gentlemen, I advise you to calm down. You, the Three Perfect Kings, are indeed strong and can easily kill me without caring about the consequences. However, the chain of events that ensue would not be so easily resolved by just the three of you.”

“What do you mean?” The three of them were at a loss. With the Grand Elder dead, what kind of trouble could they encounter? They thought this was merely Logan’s ploy, so the ruthlessness on their faces only grew.

“Think about it. I am the only eyewitness who saw you kill the Grand Elder and knows that you were avenging the Young Master. If I am killed, who will testify for you? Rumors could be spread, claiming that you and the Grand Elder secretly conspired against each other.”

“Even if the Family Head believes you, how will you stop the gossip outside? With the Grand Elder dead, would his followers and disciples let your family off? Your reasoning would be shaky without me to prove that you were seeking revenge.”

After Logan’s speech, the three of them suddenly became enlightened and understood the situation. Indeed, Logan could not be killed, otherwise the murder would be pinned on them.

But in order to prevent Logan from talking nonsense, the three of them warned, “Do not spread rumors once you leave. If we hear any unauthorized gossip, you better weigh the consequences.”

“Don’t worry, I am smart and won’t fight for the credit. You can take all the awards.”

Logan smiled indifferently. The three of them were extremely satisfied and then left with the Young Master’s and Protector’s bodies. However, as soon as they left the Secret Land, they encountered the Family Head who had come after hearing the news.

Seeing his son’s death, Family Head Gali Mo’s anger reached the sky. “Today, I came here to have a life-and-death struggle with the Grand Elder. I received your message and brought thirty kings with me.”

“Family Head, everything is over. The three of us have killed the Grand Elder with all our strength.”

The three of them immediately knelt down and explained everything truthfully, without withholding any details. When Gali Mo learned of the Grand Elder’s life and death, he clearly didn’t believe it. After all, the Grand Elder was a Master with great power who could be killed just by three Perfect Kings. Wasn’t that absurd?

Entering the Secret Land and seeing the Grand Elder’s corpse, Gali Mo became convinced. He couldn’t help but look at the three of them with admiration, for they indeed had done great merit for the family this time.

“The Grand Elder’s death must not be spread, otherwise his disciples will come to seek vengeance. Although our First Family is not afraid, this will inevitably cause both sides to suffer damage.”

After thinking for awhile, Gali Mo said, “It is better to spread some rumors, saying that everything was done by the Lord. The matter has already occurred; let them fight each other and suffer damage. Our family can then benefit from their strife.”

“Family Head, actually there is another person who knows the situation…” The three of them froze for a moment and then mentioned Logan, which made the Family Head frown. As a result, it would be difficult to frame the Lord.

“Do not worry. That person must not have gone far. We will pursue him with our full strength, and within an hour, we will bring his corpse back.”

The three of them reassured him, as they had been distancing themselves from Logan for less than half an hour, and Logan was just a Mythical Realm cultivator. He couldn’t have gone far, and the three of them could surely find him with their divine abilities.

Gali Mo nodded, allowing the three of them to chase after Logan. He then examined his son’s body once more, only to frown the next moment. His son’s death was not the work of a Master. The divine ability used didn’t even reach the king level. Could there be a hidden story behind it?

With a vague feeling, Gali Mo felt that he had been calculated and ordered his subordinates to find another person who knew the situation. After all, someone must have witnessed it while they were on the same adventure.

Soon, someone brought a person who knew the truth. He was with Gali Mo’s son when they entered the Secret Land. He had escaped as soon as the incident occurred, but Gali Mo’s subordinates caught him midway back.

“It was Logan! There was a small dispute between them, and in his anger, Logan killed the Young Master. He warned us not to say a word, and we couldn’t stop him.”

Being slightly intimidated by Gali Mo, the man confessed everything. However, Gali Mo found it unbelievable. According to his three subordinates, Logan was only a Mythical Realm cultivator. His son had even surpassed his level; their strengths were not on the same level at all.

“You don’t know the whole story. Logan’s cultivation may only be at the Mythical level, but his strength is astonishing enough to kill a king. He is a cunning person who has fooled us many times.”

The man continued to explain. Gali Mo saw that the man didn’t seem to be lying, so he couldn’t help but believe him. If this was true, then he immediately realized something terrible.

After some chilling thoughts, Gali Mo shook his head, “It can’t be true. If everything is Logan’s calculation, he is a truly terrifying enemy. Who is supporting him from behind?”

If everything was as it seemed, Logan first killed Gali Mo’s son and framed the Grand Elder’s son. The Grand Elder then killed Gali Mo’s Protector to avenge his son.

Through these two actions, Logan had incited a deep feud between the Grand Elder’s camp and Gali Mo’s family. Eventually, a large battle ensued in which the three Perfect Kings, seeking revenge for the Young Master, killed the Grand Elder.

At this point, the two sides were irreconcilable. The Grand Elder’s forces would undoubtedly take revenge on Gali Mo’s family. Even if they killed Logan, the only person who knew the truth, Logan’s message would have leaked out.
