Lael pointed at his own nose with a look of shock, then laughed,
"Human, are you sure you’re talking about me? Do you want another chance?"
Lin Yi did not respond to him but instead looked at Wano,
"If you trust me, kill him, and the truth will be revealed."
"However, if you don’t believe me, I can still help you kill that Undead Mage and let you leave."
Tian Ci and the others were stunned by his words; does it make any difference?
"Human, are you trying to sow discord?"
Lael suddenly raised the firearm in his hand and pointed it at Lin Yi,
"Your attempt is too clumsy. Whether I’m a modified Corpse Demon Race, can my own people not see it themselves? Do they need an outsider like you to identify me!"
Seeing Wano’s hesitant expression, Lin Yi shook his head in disappointment and said,
"Let’s go, kill the Undead Mage."
Red Eyes was surprised,
"Just us? Can we win!"
"If we can’t, we’ll just return to the city, what’s there to fear."
Feng Hua (Team): "In five steps, regardless of the outcome, force-kill that Lael!"
Just then, Wano suddenly asked Lael,
"Chief Lael, forgive me for being rude."
Wano pointed at a goblin in the goblin crowd and asked,
"Can you tell me the real name of Yading’s wife? I’m asking for her real name."
"You suspect me too?"
At this moment, all the goblins looked at Wano with incredulous eyes,
"Wano, have you gone mad?"
"Chief Lael has always cared for you the most; even if someone doubts him, it shouldn’t be you!"
"Can’t you even tell if he’s Chief Lael? How could you believe that human!"
"Damn you, Wano, you must be a fake!"
Listening to the goblins’ accusations, Lael looked at Wano with disappointment,
"Do I still need to answer?"
At this moment, Wano, his face flushed, looked deeply ashamed, but still nodded with difficulty,
"Alright then, I’ll tell you!"
Lael, as if greatly disappointed with Wano, said in a deep voice,
"Yading’s wife is actually my daughter, Labelle."
As soon as Lael said this, the goblins suddenly became agitated and shouted,
"Wano, you damn traitor, how could you wrong your most respected elder!"
"I now suspect Wano and that human are the ones modified by the Corpse Demon Race!"
"Yeah, yeah, kill them!"
Lael aimed his gun at Wano, who looked incredulous,
"You’ve truly disappointed me!"
Just at that moment, Wano suddenly pointed at Lael, and said in a shocking voice,
"He’s not Chief Lael!"
"Wano, do you know what you’re saying?"
"He really has gone mad!"
Just as the scene plunged into chaos, taking advantage of Lael’s momentary distraction, Lin Yi yelled,
Stable as a Mountain, who had been ready, charged at Lael with a shield and activated a skill,
System: Stun effect triggered, lasts 1s.
Lael was immobilized by the sudden attack.
Lin Yi simultaneously activated a skill,
Tian Ci and Red Eyes were a step too late, just as Lael was about to regain clarity,
"-231" Critical Strike
"-301" Critical Strike
At this moment, Stable as a Mountain unleashed another skill,
System: Stun one target for 1s
The Nine Nether Demon Wolf attacked, clearing Lael’s health bar with a single Tear.
It all happened in an instant, by the time the goblins realized Lael was under attack, he had already been instantly killed by several people!
The scene was utterly silent!
No matter what, the goblins found it hard to believe that their current clan leader had died just like that under everyone’s gaze?
Nobody knew how much time had passed before a goblin gasped,
"Chief Lael, is dead?"
"You, you killed Chief Lael!"
"Clan members, let’s fight them and avenge the chief!"
Just as the goblins were about to erupt in fury over what they had just witnessed, Wano suddenly shouted,
Under everyone’s gaze, Wano pointed at Lael’s body and said,
"Uncle Lael once told me that Labelle is actually just his adopted daughter, and her real name is not Labelle but Kasha!"
Then Wano swung his sword, chopping off Lael’s head.
Shockingly, after Lael’s head was chopped off, it emitted a foul odor, then turned into a puddle of black unknown liquid.
This sight left the goblins, who were just clamoring for revenge, dumbfounded, unable to accept this reality for a moment,
"How could this be, Chief Lael was captured with us, how could he have been transformed by those demons"
No matter how they didn’t want to believe Lael was a modified Corpse Demon Race, the facts spoke for themselves, forcing them to face the truth.
After confirming that Lael was indeed a modified Corpse Demon Race, Wano turned to Lin Yi, filled with gratitude yet mixed with deep shame,
"I deeply apologize for the actions of my clansmen earlier!"
Meanwhile, the goblins, who were just clamoring to kill Lin Yi, now hung their heads in silence.
"Never mind, your earlier reactions were understandable."
Tian Ci handed the Ice Crystal that had dropped beside Lael’s body to Lin Yi,
"Old Feng, your intuition is truly remarkable, amazing!"
Only then did Lin Yi begin to share his speculation with Wano,
"Have you ever wondered why, in the past hundred years, the Corpse Demon Race has spared your goblin clan?"
Wano glanced at the dead Lael on the ground, a thought rose in his mind, he said in astonishment,
"Could it be their purpose was to control the entire Goblin Race through this method?"
To be honest, Lin Yi himself wasn’t clear on the answer to this question, so he couldn’t say whether Wano’s guess was right or wrong.
At this point, Lin Yi couldn’t really understand what was happening either.
If their goal was for Lael to control the Goblin Race and thereby install a high-level mole within the Hundred Races’ leadership,
They could have just let the goblins out themselves or staged an escape.
Why keep them imprisoned without releasing or killing them?
Or were they intentionally waiting for someone like me to appear, to naturally ’rescue’ them?
While Lin Yi was puzzled by this question, suddenly a sinister laugh echoed from the passageway.
Hearing this sound, Wano and the goblins shrank into the corner, their faces filled with fear.
Tian Ci and Red Eyes simultaneously entered Stealth.
Stable as a Mountain stood in front of Lin Yi with a shield.
The Nine Nether Wolf King positioned himself beside Zhang Xinying, ready for action.
All eyes were on the dim passageway.
Shortly, a witch with a grim face slowly approached from the passageway.
"Human, can you tell me how you recognized he wasn’t Lael?"
Today’s update is complete.
