Even if the Ancient Snake Gu Palace sent someone to propose a deal to Lin Yuan, he would not agree.
Firstly, Lin Yuan did not have sufficient Creator resources available. He lacked enough even for the Spirit World Barrier Turtle. Moreover, even if he had enough for the Spirit World Barrier Turtle, he was not willing to trade with the Ancient Snake Gu Palace, which was developing the star pirates.
Winter was invited to participate in this operation against Lin Yuan. Both Xie Lin, the City Lord of South Face City, and the Snake Lord of the Ancient Snake Gu Palace, highly valued Winter, who had shown strength surpassing the Holy Spirit level.
Winter’s strength was highly advantageous to the Ancient Snake Gu Palace, given that only two Snake Lords could act independently.
At its peak, the Ancient Snake Gu Palace had always been aloof toward outsiders.
Their previous failure led the Ancient Snake Gu Palace not only to absorb snake-species lifeforms but also to treat insect-species creatures as their own. They even accepted some foreign members as guards and offerings.
These two Snake Lords knew that Winter had been very compliant after joining the alliance, which sparked their interest.
However, they had yet to personally invite Winter.
If Winter refused to join the Ancient Snake Gu Palace, the two Snake Lords planned to attack him secretly.
The Ancient Snake Gu Palace had a complete Alchemist inheritance, allowing them to refine the body of an expert into a war weapon.
They achieved their goal by transforming unwilling experts into war weapons. Through special methods, these experts eventually became loyal to the Ancient Snake Gu Palace.
The two Snake Lords did not realize that Winter, whom they considered prey, also viewed the Ancient Snake Gu Palace as prey.
Had the two Snake Lords prepared to confront Lin Yuan directly, Winter might not have held such animosity toward the Ancient Snake Gu Palace. However, their treacherous plans against Lin Yuan fueled Winter’s hatred.
If Winter were not concerned about disrupting Lin Yuan’s objectives, he would have already attacked the Ancient Snake Gu Palace.
The two Snake Lords were indeed wary of Winter, but they never anticipated his alliance with Lin Yuan.
“Young Master, Xie Lin is about to invite you to the City Lord Manor with the excuse of a deal. He will also set up a banquet in the City Lord Manor to entertain you. The Ancient Snake Gu Palace is preparing to use special snake venom and Gu worms to control you and Autumn.
“Although the strongest control method of the Ancient Snake Gu Palace can’t control me and Autumn, their snake poison places on you has a huge impact on the soul. The Ancient Snake Gu Palace is truly vicious!
“I think we need to make some preparations and strive to control the Ancient Snake Gu Palace before the top grade blessed land opens. If we can control the two Snake Lords, we will at least have a higher chance of winning in the competition over the many other factions.”
Winter had always sought stability in his work and was not as conceited as Autumn.
If there were only a few factions like the Ancient Snake Gu Palace participating in the competition, they could ensure that the top grade blessed land would be in Lin Yuan’s hands.
However, excluding the factions from the South and East Universes, there were three top factions from the West Universe and North Universe that had risen to the surface. Faerie Institution, the Abyssal Beast Domain, and the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley were not weaker than the Ancient Snake Gu Palace.
The three factions had traveled thousands of miles to come here. It was obvious that they wanted to compete for this top grade blessed land.
After thinking about it, Winter felt that the best way to ensure that he would not make any mistakes in the competition for the top grade blessed land was to attack one of the powerful factions silently.
However, it was very difficult to create such a silent environment. Now, Faerie Institution actually took the initiative to facilitate this opportunity. Since that was the case, how could he not accept?
Otherwise, Winter would not have made such a rash suggestion to Lin Yuan at this time.
Lin Yuan was rather surprised that the Ancient Snake Gu Palace would attack him at this time.
This was because with the Ancient Snake Gu Palace’s previous interaction with him, they should not be able to accurately know his strength and ability. Lin Yuan was surprised that the Ancient Snake Gu Palace would target him under such circumstances.
However, Lin Yuan was certain that the Ancient Snake Gu Palace would definitely create an extremely secretive environment when targeting him.
At the very least, he could not let Fortune Treasure Palace know about this.
No matter how confident the Ancient Snake Gu Palace was, they would definitely be afraid of being targeted by other factions.
Even he had received news that many factions were heading to South Face City. It was impossible for the Ancient Snake Gu Palace not to know.
“Winter, do you know why the Ancient Snake Gu Palace is determined to target us at a time like this?”
Winter hurriedly said, “Young Master, I’ve investigated the relevant information. According to my understanding, the Ancient Snake Gu Palace has been trying to obtain pure spirit qi through various channels over the years.
“The Ancient Snake Gu Palace has always been in a state of seclusion. According to my observations, the two Snake Lords are rather weak. Even the energy in their bodies is not flowing smoothly. I suspect they want to obtain a large amount of pure spirit qi from you because of these Snake Lords. I can’t think of any other possibility.
“In any case, whatever plans they have after this operation can’t be hidden from us. The situation in South Face City is extremely complicated now. My suggestion is that Spring shouldn’t participate in this operation against the Ancient Snake Gu Palace.”
Lin Yuan did not want to see the upcoming collision with the Ancient Snake Gu Palace.
This was because the current South Face City looked calm and peaceful. The various factions were only engaged in small fights. However, in reality, once there was a storm, it would be like pouring a bottle of water into a pot of oil. Not only would it attract the attention of many factions, but it was very likely that it would also lead many factions into it.
However, all the risks had benefits in secret. Lin Yuan had never fought with a faction like the Ancient Snake Gu Palace before.
Actually, if the Ancient Snake Gu Palace really needed spirit qi crystals, Lin Yuan could consider cooperating with them.
However, the Ancient Snake Gu Palace did not show any intention of cooperating. Furthermore, Lin Yuan was really displeased with their sinister method of occupying South Face City.
Lin Yuan was certain that the Xie Lin was not the only one from the Ancient Snake Gu Palace. The Ancient Water Pythons were also related to the Ancient Snake Gu Palace.
The Ancient Snake Gu Palace had already reached into the Scarlet Territory and their goal was not small!
Lin Yuan did not inform Ling Muzhuo about the upcoming operation.
Although Ling Muzhuo was his ally, he was most likely unwilling to participate in this conflict against the Ancient Snake Gu Palace.
Even if Ling Muzhuo was willing to participate, Lin Yuan did not want to owe him a favor.
Besides, Xie Lin invited only him this time. If he brought Ling Muzhuo with him, there might not be any follow-up actions.
At present, in a secret room of the Zhao family…
Zhao Wei was kneeling on the ground with a terrified expression, his eyes filled with fear.
Long Jie had already transformed into his human form. It was really inconvenient for him to appear in his original form in Zhao family.
Long Jie was reviewing his previous contact with Lin Yuan. After calming down, Long Jie realized that although he had lost his freedom, he had obtained more opportunities. These opportunities were very precious to him.
As an Elder of the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley, Long Jie’s strength had basically reached its limit. It was very difficult for him to make a new breakthrough.
The main reason was that Long Jie could no longer obtain more high-grade Creator resources with his current identity. If he could obtain more high-grade Creator resources, Long Jie still had room for improvement.
Long Jie did not dare to believe Lin Yuan’s words fully, but Lin Yuan had indeed given him a chance and a possibility.
After thinking about it, Long Jie felt that he did not suffer a loss.
Long Jie already knew that Zhao Wei’s nephew had a good relationship with Lin Yuan. Under such circumstances, it was inconvenient for Long Jie to deal with Zhao Wei.
Moreover, Zhao Wei had no intention of harming him. He had informed him as soon as he discovered the opportunity. He was sufficiently loyal.
“Get up. You didn’t do anything wrong this time.”
In Zhao Wei’s opinion, his actions had caused Long Jie to lose his freedom and become someone else’s servant. He would definitely end up in a miserable state. He did not expect Long Jie to let him off.
Suddenly, Long Jie thought of something and said, “It’s an eventful period now. You should stay in the Zhao family. Try your best not to let the Zhao family participate in the battle for the top grade blessed land. If you can’t protect the Zhao family, you have to do your best to protect yourself.”
After saying that, an obscure spatial energy surged out of Long Jie’s body and right on the heels of that, Long Jie’s figure disappeared from this secret room of the Zhao family.
Long Jie had already sensed that the people from the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley had arrived in South Face City. Long Jie was prepared to meet the people from the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley.
Long Jie’s meeting with the people from the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley was accompanied by the mission that Lin Yuan had given him. Fortunately, Lin Yuan’s request was not considered betraying the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley.
Originally, Long Jie was quite confident in fighting for this top grade blessed land. The Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley had sent many people this time. Apart from these people on the surface, there were also a few high-level Elders accompanying them.
However, he did not know why the Ancient Snake Gu Palace had leaked the news of the appearance of this top grade blessed land in secret, causing many factions to fight over it.
With so many factions gathered in South Face City, even the strongest faction did not dare to guarantee that they could obtain this top grade blessed land. As the saying went, “Two fists are no match for four hands.”
No matter how powerful a faction was, they could not stand being targeted by thousands of factions. Especially after meeting Lin Yuan, he knew that Lin Yuan also had the intention to fight for this top grade blessed land.
Not only could Long Jie not see through Autumn’s strength, but he could not even resist Autumn’s methods.
In the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley, only the sleeping Lord Ancestral Dragon could make him feel such pressure.
As for who was stronger between Lord Ancestral Dragon and Autumn, Long Jie did not know.
The major factions were secretly plotting.
Faerie Institution was the most high-profile when they arrived in South Face City. The four high-level faeries arrived together with more than 20 middle-level faeries and directly moved into a powerful local faction in South Face City. They did not hide their relationship with this local faction at all.
On the contrary, the Abyssal Beast Domain was extremely low-key.
If not for the conflict between the Abyssal Beast Domain and Faerie Institution, they would not have known that the people from the Abyssal Beast Domain had already arrived.
The alliance that Spring joined was formed by the people from the Abyssal Beast Domain.
After the Abyssal Beast Domain arrived in South Face City, it immediately took over the alliance, and Spring reported it to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan was both surprised and delighted.
Currently, the powerful forces in South Face City were seemingly Faerie Institution, the Ancient Snake Gu Palace, Abyssal Beast Domain, and Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley.
Three out of the four factions had interacted with Lin Yuan. Apart from Faerie Institution, which allowed Lin Yuan to control the information of the three factions, he had a large advantage in fighting for the top grade blessed land.
“Young Master, the leader of the team from the Abyssal Beast Domain is from the Nightmare Beasts. Judging from his attire and the tattoo on his face, he should be the Archbishop of the Nightmare Beasts.
“The Abyssal Beast Domain is made up of many factions. There are a total of 12 species that have the power to make decisions and rule. The Nightmare Beasts’ ruling power is enough to rank in the top three.
“The Nightmare Beasts are best at scheming and competing. They like to hide in the dark because of the characteristics of their bloodline. This Archbishop of the Nightmare Beasts is inferior to me, and this is before my strength has fully recovered.
“Young Master, if you have Grade 6 Creator resources, I won’t be restrained when fighting this Archbishop of the Nightmare Beasts. Instead, I can directly defeat him!
“According to my senses, there are indeed experts hiding among the Abyssal Beast Domain, but the strongest is still this Archbishop.
“Compared to Abyssal Beast Domain, Faerie Institution has hidden themselves very well this time. On the surface, Faerie Institution is led by two pinnacle higher faeries. But in fact, there’s a faerie king hidden in the dark.
“If we hadn’t discovered the existence of this faerie king, this conflict between the Abyssal Beast Domain and Faerie Institution wouldn’t have ended so quickly when the Abyssal Beast Domain had the advantage.
“Young Master, the situation in South Face City is more urgent than I imagined.”
Spring had always been cautious. She said this because she valued Lin Yuan’s safety very much. She was afraid that if a dispute arose, she, Autumn, and Winter would be restrained and Lin Yuan would be exposed to danger.
Compared to Lin Yuan’s safety, this top grade blessed land was actually nothing.
Spring knew Autumn and Winter’s personalities very well.
Autumn had always been headstrong. Sometimes, he was even a little rash. As for Winter, it was very likely that he would not be able to understand and grasp relevant information in the City Lord Manor.
Under such circumstances, she had the responsibility to remind Lin Yuan. If she were to threaten Lin Yuan’s safety, it would be the greatest dereliction of duty as his follower.
Lin Yuan’s eyes flickered. This was the first time he had encountered a situation that martial force could not resolve since he had arrived at the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Although Lin Yuan did not have a deep understanding of top grade blessed lands, there would always be top grade blessed lands opening in the Sky Beyond the Clouds every tens of thousands of years.
The opening of a top grade blessed land should not have attracted so many factions to mobilize such powerful forces. Lin Yuan had had this feeling when he probed Long Jie’s memories.
Now that the Abyssal Beast Domain and Faerie Institution had sent out their forces, it further confirmed Lin Yuan’s thoughts.
