It's tough!

  If he were to enter the palace, Lin Lei would have to find an opportunity to poison. In the palace, he would also have to interrogate Clyde and kill him.

  "Even if it wasn't intentional and didn't expose his identity, Clyde was killed. It's hard to escape the palace anyway." Lin Lei's mind kept echoing with all sorts of possibilities about what had happened.

  Lin Lei concluded, "To poison in the palace and think of escaping, it's almost impossible." Lin Lei negated this method, after all, there were more experts in the palace, unless he entered a dragon state, he could kill his way out.

  But Lin Lei didn't want to expose this secret of Long Hua's transformation.

  "It's just outside the palace." Lin Lei had a headache.

  Outside the palace, how can Clyde be with himself and still be in a separate place. No matter what, Clyde is the king after all. Even if he has something to see him, he will go to the palace to pay his respects.

  Can't someone be sent to tell Clyde to come see for himself?

  Lin Lei had never heard of a minister sending someone to let the king see his own. This was clearly unreasonable, even if Clyde gave himself face and really came over. I'm afraid Clyde would also be suspicious in his heart.

  Once alerted, the success rate of poisoning oneself is lower.

  "I need to find an opportunity to be alone with Clyde, and not in the palace." It had been a long time since Lin Lei came to Fen Lai City, but he still hadn't found himself alone with Clyde.

  It's usually some kind of banquet before Clyde will meet with him.

  Kalin Ray, you can't possibly take down Clyde in a crowded banquet hall.

  "What should I do?"

  Lin Lei was somewhat worried.

  Entering December, the temperature in Finlay City suddenly dropped, and this winter's first snow also fell. The entire city of Finlay was a silver white, and the cold air made many nobles reluctant to leave their homes.

  Still wearing a loose long gown, Lin Lei strolled down the snowy street under the protection of two guards.

  "Crunch, crunch..." The sound of trampling on accumulated snow rang out.

  Finlay City was especially charming after the snow, with icicles hanging from the gates of the aristocratic mansions on both sides of Green Leaf Road. The morning sun's rays refracted through the icicles, making them even more dazzling.

  A row of towering pines in front of the mansion had their branches covered with a layer of snow, looking extremely beautiful.

  The scenery is beautiful.

  Kelin Lei's mood was not good.

  "That Klayde is already a 9th-level strongman, although it's hard to get from the 9th level to the Sacred Realm, but who knows when Klayde will break through. By then I'll have even less hope." Lin Lei really can't wait any longer.

  The earlier we deal with Clyde, the better our chances.

  But he needs an opportunity.

  "Boss, look, most of the mansions next door have been renovated, and there are many decorative items." Beibei's voice echoed in Lin Lei's mind.

  Lin Lei walked on the road, his mind elsewhere and naturally didn't notice. After BeiBei said so, Lin Lei also noticed that the mansions on both sides of Green Leaf Road were different from before.

  "This is......" Lin Lei was somewhat perplexed.

  "Hung well, yes, move a bit to the left." The servants of the mansion next door were hanging decorations in front of the mansion gate, with someone else directing them.

  "That's it, Magnolia!" Lin Lei noticed the pattern on the decorative item hanging in front of the mansion gate was indeed a magnolia flower.

  Lin Lei suddenly realized at this time.

  "Right, it's already December now, and there are only a few days left until the Jade Orchid Festival. And it's the once-in-a-thousand-years Jade Orchid Festival!" Lin Lei also knew how important this festival was.

  On January 1st of the 10,000th year of Yulan Calendar, it was probably the most bustling day on the Yulan continent. No wonder every noble family's mansion was undergoing renovation and decoration.

  "Crack!"

  A decorative servant's foot stepped on the first rung of a ladder, which suddenly broke, and the servant's foot kicked empty air. The entire person fell down, colliding with the ladder first, then hitting his head against the rocky ground, and fresh blood immediately stained the ground red.

  The servants beside him immediately panicked.

  "It's okay." Everyone immediately helped the injured person up.

  "A bit, a bit dizzy." The injured person's voice was weak. Fortunately, the ladder wasn't high, and the force of his fall to the ground wasn't too great, which is how he managed to save his life.

  "Alright, you go back and rest for now. Cole, take care of him. Honestly, just a little higher up and he's fallen like this." The person in charge shook his head helplessly.

  The servant named Kole immediately lifted up the injured man and carried him towards his residence.

  Lin Lei watched this scene, but was stunned.

  "Lin, Lord Lin Lei?" The steward only noticed Lin Lei at this time and immediately walked up to salute him. This mansion was the residence of Duke Berna, and Lin Lei had been here before, so the steward naturally knew Lin Lei.

  "Good morning, Lord Lin Lei." The steward said with a bow.

  Lin Lei only fully woke up at this time, and a excited smile appeared on his face. Seeing the person in front of him, he immediately smiled and said: "Hehe, you're also good morning. Haha, let's go back."

  Lin Lei excitedly turned around and left with his guards.

  "Huh? Why are you so happy all of a sudden?" The two guards whispered to each other.

  They saw Lin Lei being at a loss today, how did he suddenly become so excited?

  "How could I have been so blind?! Haha...” Lin Lei couldn't help but slap his own forehead, scolding himself for being muddle-headed.

  At this moment, Lin Lei was already confident and let Clyde come see him.

  The method is — getting hurt!

  "I was just renovating and cultivating my internal energy when I accidentally injured myself internally. I'm hurt, and with Clyde's attitude towards me, he'll probably come to my doorstep in person."

  Lin Lei was overjoyed in his heart.

  As long as it's on his own estate, he can design Clyde however he wants, and that would be much simpler.

  "As for the status and wealth of the Sacred Alliance, I don't care about them either. After learning about my mother's news and killing Clyde, I will directly escape from the influence of the Sacred Alliance through Dawson Chamber of Commerce." Lin Lei was actually very decisive in his heart.

  The Sacred Alliance has no appeal to Lin Lei at all.

  Now his only relative, younger brother Little Worton is also staying in the O'Brien Empire. This sacred alliance has no binding on him either.

  ...wanted to kill Clyde without revealing his identity. This was almost impossible, so Lin Lei could only make a little sacrifice. Anyway, the Sacred Alliance didn't have much appeal for Lin Lei either.

  Lin Lei's mansion, in the middle of the Spring Water Garden.

  Lin Lei sat cross-legged on the grass, cultivating 'Dragon Blood Fighting Qi'. The dragon blood fighting qi in his body surged like a wave, impacting various parts of his meridians.

  In fact, such a cultivation is unbearable for ordinary seventh-level warriors. But Lin Lei was different from them, Lin Lei was drinking the living dragon's blood, and ordinary dragon's blood would make the body's defense incredibly strong when poured on the surface. And Lin Lei swallowed the dragon's blood into his body, which also made his meridian toughness reach an incredible degree.

  "Pffft!"

  Lin Lei suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face also turned pale.

  "Ah..." A low, pained voice escaped from Lin Lei's throat.

  At this moment, the maids guarding the gate of Quanshui Garden also vaguely heard Lin Lei's low voice, and they carefully listened with their ears against the courtyard door.

  "Lord Lin Lei, does it seem painful?" one of the thinner maidservants asked in puzzlement.

  "It seems so." Another plump maid also nodded.

  But they didn't dare to rush in.

  "Lord Lin Lei?" The thinner maid called out.

  "Come in, come in." Lin Lei's voice sounded.

  The two maids exchanged a glance and immediately pushed open the courtyard door and ran in. But when they reached the lawn, they were shocked to see a large pool of blood on the ground, with Lin Lei's pale face pressed against the ground.

  "Support me back to my room." Lin Lei said in a low voice.

  "Yes, yes."

  Two maids were somewhat flustered, one supporting Lin Lei's arm, and immediately helped Lin Lei to his own bedroom.

  "Sir, shall we invite a mage from the Luminous Order?" asked the slightly thinner maid in haste.

  "No need, I'm injured internally, magic is useless. Can only calm down and recuperate." Lin Lei took a deep breath, sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, "You two go out first."

  "Yes, milord." The two maidservants withdrew respectfully.

  Whether it's the Light attribute or Water attribute and other attributes of healing magic, they are all restorative magic that allows damaged areas to be repaired. However, for internal injuries, there is no good way to deal with them.

  In Lin Lei's room, there were only two people: Lin Lei and Yale.

  "Lao San, aren't you hurt?" Yale asked in puzzlement. "Why pretend to be hurt if you're not? And why look for me so anxiously." Lin Lei had sent someone to find him before pretending to be hurt.

  Lin Lei said in a low voice: "Yale, this matter is related to my great enemy. Yale, I can tell you that Clyde may be the one who killed my mother."

  "Killer of one's mother?" Yale glared at him, "Third Brother, what are you going to do?"

  "Alright. Revenge." Lin Lei didn't hide it from his good brother.

  "That Clyde is a 9th-level strongman, how can you avenge? Moreover, he is also the king of Fenley Kingdom." Yale hurriedly said, he was a bit worried about Lin Lei.

  Lin Lei said calmly, "Don't worry, I already have a tenfold grasp to deal with him. However, once Clyde is killed, it's not that the Holy See can spare my life, but the days will definitely be difficult. So I decided, after killing Clyde, I will immediately leave the Sacred Alliance."

  "Leave the Holy Alliance?" Yale was taken aback, but he quickly understood. "Right, it's time to leave. I'll take care of this. The Dawson Chamber of Commerce has business influence in all major cities of the Holy Alliance, and escaping from the Holy Alliance without being detected is simply effortless."

  "And also our Dawson Chamber of Commerce, and Easy Makeup Masters etc." Yale is confident.

  Lin Lei also knew that Dawson's Chamber of Commerce was powerful, one of the three major chambers of commerce on the Yulan continent, and it was not a joke.

  "I know, so Yale elder, I'm begging you to send someone to wait for me at the hotel at the end of Green Leaf Road. When I get there, please help arrange for me to leave the Sacred Alliance."

  Lin Lei was very confident and after killing Clyde, he could easily get to that hotel.

  "Don't worry." Yale nodded.

  "Old Three." Yale frowned at Lin Lei, "You'd better be careful yourself."

  Lin Meng smiled at Yale: "Yale, you have to have faith in me."

  Lin Lei's injury news quickly spread out, the first to receive this message was not the King of Fenlai Kingdom, but the Red Archbishop Gilmer of the Holy See of Light.

  But soon, King Klayde and many other nobles also learned about Lin Lei's injury from practicing. Practicing to the point of injury was not uncommon, although it was relatively rare. Generally, this happened when one practiced too hard, exceeding their physical limits, causing their body to collapse, or even damaging their internal organs.

  "Now just wait for Clyde to arrive." Lin Lei sat on the chair in his bedroom, wearing a loose long gown with a pale face.

  Babe also crouched on a chair beside him.

  "Lord Lin Lei." A maid came running from outside.

  Lin Lei's eyes lit up for a moment, but he immediately pretended to be weak again, looking at the maid who came over and said calmly: "What is it?"

  "Archbishop Gelmor in red has arrived." The maid said hastily.

  "Oh?" Lin Lei's heart suddenly surged with a wave of worry.

  Gillmer's arrival was expected, but Lin Lei suddenly thought... if Gillmer is here and Clyde comes over at this time. It would be troublesome to deal with Clyde.

  After all, Gilmer was a 9th-level great mage, and the dissolving blood poison powder weakened warriors' strength, but had little effect on mages.

  "Lin Lei!" At this time, Gilmer's voice had already sounded outside the door.
