“Spring, do you think it’s reasonable for these factions to send such a powerful force to fight for this top grade blessed land?”

Zhao Chen extended an invitation to Lin Yuan with the intention of bringing him to this top grade blessed land to reap some benefits. At first, he did not know that Lin Yuan planned to contend for this top grade blessed land.

When inviting Lin Yuan, Zhao Chen had said that the Zhao family had participated in the emergence of a top grade blessed land before and acquired a substantial amount of resources in the process.

Subconsciously, Zhao Chen had already agreed to participate in the competition for the resources of this top grade blessed land and believed there wouldn’t be much risk involved. However, the current situation was completely different from what Zhao Chen had expected.

As for the Grade 6 Creator resources that Spring mentioned, as long as the Spirit World Barrier Turtle leveled up, Lin Yuan would be able to produce them immediately.

Fortunately, Morbius was producing spirit qi crystals every moment.

If he could take back the two batches of spirit qi crystals he traded with Xie Lin—as long as this top grade blessed land didn’t open in two weeks—he could increase the strength of the Spirit World Barrier Turtle.

By that time, with the resources produced by the Grade 6 Creator, Spring, Autumn, and Winter would be able to increase their strength. It would make them more confident in contending for this top grade blessed land.

Spring pondered for a moment before replying, “Young Master, I was waiting for you to appear after reincarnation in that Class 1 world. I haven’t been in the Sky Beyond the Clouds for quite some time, so I might not be very familiar with the current situation there. Therefore, my judgment may not be accurate.

“If we look at past situations, it’s not quite normal for various factions to deploy such a strong force to contend for this top grade blessed land. Once the contention begins, there will inevitably be losses, and before the contention begins, all factions will surely consider the losses.

“Therefore, when I saw the forces dispatched by the Abyssal Beast Domain and Faerie Institution, I couldn’t help but feel skeptical. I have a feeling that there’s more to this place than just the appearance of a top grade blessed land. Of course, this is just my speculation.”

Spring had never been too confident about things that she could not be sure of. freёwebnoѵel.com

Upon hearing Spring’s guess, Lin Yuan said in a serious tone, “Spring, in a week’s time, I will begin to provide you with Grade 6 Creator resources. At that time, your as well as Autumn and Winter’s strength will be enhanced.

“The Ancient Snake Gu Palace intends to make a move against me. I’ll confront them with Autumn and Winter. On your end, remain silent for now and avoid exposing your strength. After this operation, once you’ve enhanced your strength with Grade 6 Creator resources, then revealing your prowess won’t be too late!”

In fact, after knowing that Grade 6 Creator resources could restore the strength of Spring, Autumn, and Winter, Lin Yuan had wanted to lie low for a week. In any case, Lin Yuan currently had no plans to trade Creator resources externally, but the Ancient Snake Gu Palace would not give him that time.

Upon hearing Lin Yuan’s words, Spring hurriedly said, “Young Master, if you need me to coordinate actions against the Ancient Snake Gu Palace, I can do so. If I act discreetly, I may not necessarily be detected by the Abyssal Beast Domain.”

Lin Yuan replied in an extremely serious tone, “Spring, the leader of the Nightmare Beasts has just come to South Face City to take over this loose alliance. He’s definitely focused on this alliance right now. You don’t need to take on this risk. The news from the Abyssal Beast Domain is very important to us.

“If the Ancient Snake Gu Palace is indeed making extensive preparations, they won’t choose to confront us head-on even after Autumn and Winter demonstrate their strength.”

While speaking, Lin Yuan’s tone was filled with trust in Autumn and Winter. Furthermore, to ensure that the Spirit World Barrier Turtle could reach the Divine Kingdom level within a week, the spirit qi crystals traded to the Ancient Snake Gu Palace must be retrieved.

Upon hearing that, Spring didn’t say much more. Like Lin Yuan, Spring was very confident in their strengths. Even if their current strength hadn’t fully recovered, they could still suppress the Ancient Snake Gu Palace, even at its peak. Moreover, the Ancient Snake Gu Palace, which had already declined and retreated from the world, stood no chance.

Not long after Winter sent the message to Lin Yuan, South Face City’s City Lord, Xie Lin, personally came to Fortune Treasure Palace to invite Lin Yuan to the City Lord Manor for a chat.

Lin Yuan had been staying in Fortune Treasure Palace, and Ling Muzhuo was the first to know about Xie Lin’s visit. It was indeed somewhat unusual for Xie Lin to come and invite Lin Yuan again to the City Lord Manor, especially considering that Lin Yuan had just had dinner with him there. Ling Muzhuo disregarded Xie Lin’s face and directly took him to see Lin Yuan, asking Xie Lin to wait at the door while he informed Lin Yuan of the information first.

When Ling Muzhuo saw Lin Yuan, he said in an extremely serious tone, “Brother Lin, Xie Lin came to find you and invited you to the City Lord Manor. He must have ulterior motives. Now that various factions are gathered, I believe most of the Ancient Snake Gu Palace’s people are also present. They are undoubtedly planning to take action against you.

“I suggest you not accept Xie Lin’s invitation. At this moment, even if you decline Xie Lin’s invitation, he won’t dare to act. Engaging in conflict now would make us targets regardless of the outcome.”

Lin Yuan could sense Ling Muzhuo’s concern and care for him through his words and expressions.

Lin Yuan said with a smile, “Brother Ling, the situation is ever-changing. If the Ancient Snake Gu Palace is coming after me, it suits my intentions perfectly! It’s a good opportunity for me to understand the true strength of the Ancient Snake Gu Palace and maybe even eliminate a competitor.”

As Lin Yuan spoke, his face revealed an obvious killing intent. Ling Muzhuo had thought that Lin Yuan would panic when he received the news. He had not expected such a reaction. Lin Yuan’s words clearly indicated that he didn’t take the Ancient Snake Gu Palace seriously. His tone suggested that he saw them merely as prey.

Ling Muzhuo was very surprised by Lin Yuan’s confidence, especially since Lin Yuan clearly knew about the existence of the Ancient Snake Gu Palace. Through their previous interactions, Ling Muzhuo felt that Lin Yuan’s understanding of the Ancient Snake Gu Palace may not be less than his own.

In this situation, Lin Yuan showed no signs of panic, so Ling Muzhuo refrained from trying to persuade him further. “Brother Lin, I’ve said I want to form an alliance with you. Since you’re confident about taking on the Ancient Snake Gu Palace, count me in as well. Is there anything I can do in this operation?”

Lin Yuan looked at Ling Muzhuo seriously. Upon seeing the firm expression on Ling Muzhuo’s face, he spoke in a similarly serious tone. “Brother Ling, I don’t appreciate some of the actions of the Ancient Snake Gu Palace, and they seem to have ulterior motives against me. My confrontation with the Ancient Snake Gu Palace is purely an act of self-defense, and it’s understandable even if it’s known to other factions.

“Fortune Treasure Palace has always presented itself as friendly, engaging with various factions. It wouldn’t be appropriate for us to get involved in the conflict with the Ancient Snake Gu Palace. Since I’m determined to confront them, I’m confident in defeating them.

“Brother Ling, you don’t have to follow me to the City Lord Manor. If you really want to help me, please do your best to temporarily block any communication from the City Lord Manor after I go there with Xie Lin. As for other matters, I’ll handle them myself.”

Lin Yuan was indeed confident in resisting the Ancient Snake Gu Palace, but he did not know if the Ancient Snake Gu Palace had cooperated with other large factions to form an alliance. Lin Yuan did not wish for a third party to enter the arena to help the Ancient Snake Gu Palace.

Ling Muzhuo patted his chest when he heard Lin Yuan’s request.

“The initial goal of this trip to South Face City is also to contend for the top grade blessed land, and I have enough manpower at my disposal. Even if a Snake Lord breaks through the blockade, I can ensure that they won’t spread the news.

“However, if I mobilize my forces to block the City Lord Manor, I will definitely attract the attention of other factions, which means I won’t be able to maintain the blockade for too long. Otherwise, other factions will send people to investigate the situation and prevent any uncontrollable variables. I estimate that I can only maintain the blockade for a maximum of half a day.”

“Regardless of whether Xie Lin is from the Ancient Snake Gu Palace or not, he is still the chosen City Lord of Honor Absent Palace and a member of the Honor Absent Parliament. If this matter were to spread, it would be very easy for people to seize on and it would attract the attention of the Honor Absent Palace.

“Honor Absent Palace is formed by the convergence of many factions. Any faction in the East Universe that doesn’t comply with Honor Absent Palace’s rules will face retaliation from the coalition of factions that form Honor Absent Palace. While the majority of factions may not adhere to the overt rules, breaking them can only be done covertly.

“Brother Lin, I hope you can pay attention to this matter. I don’t want you to become a target because of this and find it difficult to establish yourself in the East Universe.”

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment before replying. “Half a day is enough. Moreover, it won’t take half a day to fight.”

Lin Yuan picked up the Three Treasures Tea on the table and drank it in one gulp before continuing to speak to Ling Muzhuo. “Brother Ling, don’t make City Lord Xie wait. Bring me there! I want to see what methods and lineup the Ancient Snake Gu Palace has prepared to deal with me.”

In the VIP room of Fortune Treasure Palace…

Xie Lin was extremely dissatisfied with Ling Muzhuo. He had only invited Lin Yuan, but Ling Muzhuo insisted on participating. Xie Lin was afraid of potential variables, which might affect the Snake Lord’s plan.

Xie Lin relaxed when he saw Lin Yuan being brought to the VIP room by Ling Muzhuo.

Xie Lin had never personally experienced the aura released by Autumn, so he wasn’t clear about Autumn’s strength. He only heard from his assistant, Jia Mingda, that Autumn’s aura and strength were astonishing. But no matter how strong he was, could he really surpass a Snake Lord?!

Xie Lin didn’t take Lin Yuan too seriously in his heart. Xie Lin’s worry stemmed from not wanting to escalate this matter and attract the attention of various factions within South Face City.

On this point, Xie Lin and Lin Yuan had the same thoughts.

“City Lord Xie, I’ve brought Brother Lin to you. He was invited by me, so you mustn’t neglect him. Before tonight, ensure that he returns to Fortune Treasure Palace. I’ve arranged a banquet tonight to entertain him.”

Xie Lin laughed at Ling Muzhuo’s words. “I indeed regard Young Master Lin as an esteemed guest. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have personally extended the invitation to him. However, whether Young Master Lin is willing to return tonight depends on his own wishes. Are you suggesting that I should compel Young Master Lin to return if he’s unwilling?”

With that, Xie Lin made a gesture of invitation toward Lin Yuan.

Xie Lin could not help but ask upon seeing Autumn following Lin Yuan, “Young Master Lin, are you still only bringing one servant to the City Lord Manor this time?”

Lin Yuan looked at Xie Lin with a faint smile. “Why? Does City Lord Xie want me to bring more people? Is there any danger in your City Lord Manor? Even if there is indeed danger, shouldn’t it be the responsibility of your City Lord Manor to handle it? After all, you wouldn’t expect the subordinates of a guest like me to work for your City Lord Manor, would you?”

Xie Lin was unaware of the sarcasm in Lin Yuan’s words. In Xie Lin’s eyes, Lin Yuan was just a naive kid with an extraordinary background who had only lived for a few decades. After all, Xie Lin didn’t think that news of the Ancient Snake Gu Palace targeting Lin Yuan would leak out.

It was great that Lin Yuan only brought one guard to the City Lord Manor. This way, the two Snake Lords could control the situation at lightning speed and prevent any accidents from happening.

What Xie Lin was afraid of was that Lin Yuan would become vigilant and bring many people to the City Lord Manor. If Lin Yuan brought too many people, it would be easy for something to happen.

“How could that be? The City Lord Manor can be considered the safest place in the entire South Face City. There’s no danger within the City Lord Manor. I invited Young Master Lin here to express gratitude for your willingness to engage in such significant transactions with me in the past.

“This banquet not only serves as an opportunity to make acquaintance with Young Master Lin but also carries a sense of gratitude. I hope that even if Young Master Lin departs from South Face City, there will still be possibilities for us to engage in further transactions in the future.”

Lin Yuan’s expression didn’t change, but Ling Muzhuo couldn’t stand Xie Lin’s shamelessness and couldn’t help but snort. If Xie Lin wasn’t targeting Lin Yuan but someone else, he would have disappeared without a trace.

In fact, after Ling Muzhuo found out about Xie Lin’s identity, he already knew why Fortune Treasure Palace had suffered such a huge loss in South Face City all these years. Before the accounts were settled, Ling Muzhuo wasn’t this angry. But after finishing the settlement, Ling Muzhuo wished nothing more than to confront Xie Lin directly, regardless of the consequences.

Upon hearing Xie Lin’s words, Lin Yuan showed no emotional change whatsoever. He appeared like a young nobleman out for a stroll, accompanied only by his guard, Autumn, as he followed Xie Lin to the City Lord Manor.

On the way to the City Lord Manor, Xie Lin employed various means to conceal his tracks, and he took the opportunity to explain this to Lin Yuan.

“Young Master Lin, currently, you’ve formed an alliance within South Face City, comprising numerous factions, and its influence is quite formidable. As the City Lord, if I openly interact with you, it will make other factions perceive that we’ve initiated cooperation, which could potentially make us targets of those factions.

“I don’t believe this aligns with Young Master Lin’s desires. Otherwise, you would undoubtedly encounter numerous challenges in your pursuit of top grade blessed lands. It’s therefore advantageous for us to evade the scrutiny of certain other factions.”
