Fey Evolution Merchant

Chapter 2879  The Nine-Headed Snakes!

Rail Thorn had said all that he could say. Although he was the second most important figure in the Star Pirate Alliance's information system, he knew very little about those two figures.

Those two figures kept very low profiles in the Star Pirate Alliance, and most of its members knew nothing about them.

"Lord, I have already told you everything that I know. I hope that you can use my information to find a way to combat the Star Pirate Alliance. If you can't guarantee that you'll be able to defeat them, I think you should opt for the element of surprise. If those two Lords can't find what they want, they will definitely turn Treasure City inside out!

"All the people in Treasure City will be killed as well to prevent the information from spreading. The two void passageways that have opened will begin transforming toward Class 4 once the Star Pirate Alliance kickstarts its operation.

"This is the two Lords' plan to hide the operation. While the Abyssal lifeforms are rampaging, the people from Honor Absent Palace won't be able to find anything in the ruins of Treasure City even if they clean up the two void passageways."

Lin Yuan was silent for a moment before he continued. "You don't have to worry about the future arrangements. Since you lead the star pirate spies, you will continue managing the remaining spies. If the chance ever arises, I will give you the opportunity to demonstrate your abilities."

Once he was done speaking, Lin Yuan nodded at Spring. He led her back to the room that Li Feng had personally prepared for him.

When Lin Yuan left, Red Scorpion looked at Rail Thorn fearfully. She had pointed out Rail Thorn and exposed him to Lin Yuan.

Now that Lin Yuan wanted Rail Thorn to continue managing them, Red Scorpion was afraid that Rail Thorn would use the opportunity to take revenge on her. If Rail Thorn wanted to take revenge on her, she would be completely incapable of fighting back!

Rail Thorn walked over to Red Scorpion's side and gently placed his hand on her shoulder before he shouted, and all the star pirate spies gathered around him.

When Lin Yuan left, Begin Lady became the manager and protector of the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

Begin Lady had been living in the Element Well and using Lin Yuan's resources. After all the years that had passed, Begin Lady had reached World Emperor/Pinnacle Divine Kingdom and was on the cusp of reaching the Holy Spirit level.

However, Begin Lady had no idea how to continue evolving its bloodline, grade, and quality. It was stuck at a gateway, and not even Lin Yuan could help it. It could only remain in this state and wait for an opportunity that would enable it to transform.

Begin Lady told Rail Thorn and the rest, "Come with me. All of you have taken so many resources without giving anything back. Why don't you come with me to clean up the cat garden?"

The spies were normally willing to do anything for the sake of camouflage. They had just managed to save their own lives. Being able to continue living was the biggest benefit to them. They would not dare to be fussy at such a moment.

The spies did not move immediately after hearing Begin Lady's instructions because they were genuinely petrified by Begin Lady's identity.

Faeries were extremely elite in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. They never expected to see a faerie in this space. Moreover, it seemed that this faerie was under that young man's control. More importantly, this faerie's bloodline level was extremely high, and it was no ordinary faerie!

Faerie Institution's biggest taboo was when other species or factions used faeries as tools.

They did not know if the faerie in this space meant that the faction they had submitted to was linked to Faerie Institution or if this faction had the ability to take on Faerie Institution.

Begin Lady's appearance caused all the spies, including Rail Thorn and Red Scorpion, to first feel shock followed by excitement.

In this enormous Sky Beyond the Clouds, there was no one who did not want to join a powerful faction and attain a bright future.

…

When Spring saw the worry on Lin Yuan's face, she hurriedly said, "Lord Saint, you don't have to be worried. Winter is able to handle the Star Pirate Alliance. He doesn't even need my help.

"There are many distinctions in the levels above the Holy Spirit level. Although we were in the main world for a long time and our power fell rather than rose, the ants who only just reached the Holy Spirit level are still no match for us!"

Lin Yuan had never been fully aware of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter's exact powers.

When Spring called the Holy Spirit lifeforms 'ants', Lin Yuan knew that he had underestimated her. She was much stronger than he had imagined!

Since that was the case, there was no need for him to continue worrying.

All he needed to do was continue developing Sky City as quickly as possible while Spring and Winter were still capable of protecting him.

Although he had encountered numerous issues, everything was going smoothly overall.

Not only had Lin Yuan collected resources to refresh Sky City's store of resources, but he had also obtained powerful subordinates!

Jin Chen might not be as strong as Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, but he was much stronger than Kani. In terms of martial force, he was in the top five in Sky City and was very impressive!

Due to the fact that Lin Yuan had developed his faith country first after arriving at the Sky Beyond the Clouds and gathered many living sources of strength, these living sources of strength were not strong individually.

Hence, when Lin Yuan invested resources, the citizens of the faith country broke through rapidly.

Morbius' soul remained in the faith country and spent every day absorbing World Grace and Creation World Ley Lines.

Hence, Lin Yuan had a sufficient store of resources that Sky City could use to trade for other resources.

Treasure City's problem did affect Lin Yuan's plan, though.

Based on Fan Lou's report, the Dark Pufferfish and Bloodians were growing increasingly closer, and Fan Lou was also becoming increasingly important to the Bloodians.

Accordingly, the Bloodians' plan for the mermaids was about to unfold. As a result, it was unlikely that Lin Yuan would make it in time for the first phase of the Bloodians' plan.

With Spring and Winter's strength, Lin Yuan could easily leave Treasure City. But he did not choose to do so.

Firstly, since he had encountered the situation, there was no need for all of Treasure City's residents to be killed by the Star Pirate Alliance. Secondly, Lin Yuan was curious about what the person behind the Star Pirate Alliance wanted to find. It had to be an extremely important thing. Otherwise, there was no reason to cause such an enormous fuss over it!

…

On the afternoon of the second day, Li Feng could not stop himself from going to see Lin Yuan and asking him about the plan.

It was not that Li Feng did not trust Lin Yuan. Rather, as the City Lord of Treasure City, he needed to be prepared. Otherwise, he would come across as useless!

Lin Yuan was extremely polite to Li Feng. He was not as arrogant as Yin Ruo.

"City Lord Li, there are only a few minutes to go before the time I spoke of. If you're willing, you can go with me to witness the annihilation of the two void passageways.

"Based on what I found out, the star pirates outside the city are going to attack Treasure City this afternoon. I think that once we act, the star pirates' counterattack will crumble. So I hope that you are prepared."

Li Feng said calmly, "Of course. We have been prepared for some time. However, Treasure City is weak, and we will need your help in some areas! I hope that you'll be able to help Treasure City to overcome this obstacle!"

Li Feng's words essentially laid aside his pride as the City Lord, and this was a tick in Spring's book.

Lin Yuan nodded. "That goes without saying. If I wasn't going to help Treasure City overcome this obstacle, I wouldn't have asked my subordinates to destroy the two pinnacle Class 3 void passageways."

Li Feng had sent out the troops he had and had been keeping a strict watch over the two void passageways.

Li Feng did not notice anything abnormal happening to the two void passageways and could not tell that they were about to be destroyed.

There were already more than 20 Holy Spirit Abyss Commanders under the two void passageways.

The void passageways were beginning to expand beyond control!

If Lin Yuan had not made Li Feng that promise, Li Feng might have led Treasure City's experts to abandon the city!

Li Feng had been wondering about something. It was impossible that the Abyssal Beasts were under the Star Pirate Alliance's control. The Abyssal Commanders were a threat to the Star Pirate Alliance. Were the Star Pirate Alliance not afraid of being bitten by the Abyssal Beasts?

In the short span of a few minutes, he would be lucky enough to witness the destruction of two pinnacle Class 3 void passageways. This made Li Feng slightly nervous.

Li Feng was not concerned that Lin Yuan was lying to him. Rather, he was worried that Lin Yuan had overestimated the strength of his subordinates.

Lin Yuan was speaking with Li Feng when he heard Winter's voice in his soul, "Young Master, I am about to begin my operation. You asked me to keep an eye on the two devil groups. I noticed that the two devil groups are headed toward tents that are north of the Star Pirate Alliance.

"As such, I began keeping a close watch over the tents. I saw that there were two individuals who are beyond the Holy Spirit level in the tents. They must be the people behind the star pirates!

"Do you think I should take control of these two figures first? I'm worried that they will flee or go into hiding once I begin my operation. You told me to do my best to protect Treasure City, so I placed my boundary around it."

When Lin Yuan heard this, he suddenly had a feeling that everything was coming to an end before it even began. It turned out that Winter had already discovered the two figures Rail Thorn had spoken of!

But despite uncovering the two figures behind Star Pirate Alliance, Winter still did not know what they were looking for in Treasure City.

The thing the two figures were trying to find had to be extraordinary.

Lin Yuan was worried that once Winter took control of these two figures, they would stop searching for this thing. Lin Yuan did not have the confidence that he would be able to pry open the lips of experts beyond the Holy Spirit level on his own!

"Winter, do you know their backgrounds? Did they say why they came to Treasure City and started this storm?"

Winter was momentarily stunned. He knew that Lin Yuan asked this because he had caught spies and learned something from them.

It just so happened that Winter had something to report to Lin Yuan as well.

"Young Master, I uncovered their backgrounds. They come from Moon Mist Swamp and are from a legendary faction, the Nine-Headed Snakes. They are considered a branch of the Elemental Nine-Headed Snakes.

"There are many branches of the Nine-Headed Snakes, and more than six of them are on the Species Ranking. These two Nine-Headed Snakes aren't emotionally stable and are full of hatred for Treasure City. If they weren't trying to eliminate every single living being in Treasure City, they would have already struck!

"It's obvious that the two Nine-Headed Snakes are husband and wife. The Nine-Headed Snakes have a tradition of monogamy. It's likely that they are this irate because Treasure City has done something to their children!

"It's very difficult for the Nine-Headed Snakes to continue their bloodline. There are some couples who go their entire lives without having offspring. The Nine-Headed Snakes have always laid eggs. In order to prevent their offspring from being targeted by other lifeforms, their eggs have strong aura-blocking abilities. Even the parents won't be able to track their aura and find their offspring after losing them."

Lin Yuan looked surprised when he heard this. "The Nine-Headed Snake couple can't find their eggs. Why does it seem like they're fending off other members of their own species as well?"

Winter smiled and said, "That's exactly the case, Young Master. The Nine-Headed Snakes are always aggressive and will only go down kicking and screaming. Once something like this happens, it's highly likely that the offspring have been stolen.

"When some Nine-Headed Snakes fail to have their own kids, they aren't opposed to stealing the children of other Nine-Headed Snakes and bringing them up."

Apparently, this Nine-Headed Snake couple was unable to locate their offspring. It was no wonder that they wanted to turn Treasure City inside out.

Since it was this direct, Winter could just take control of this couple.

"Winter, go and take control of the Nine-Headed Snake couple as well as both devil groups. Then, get rid of the two void passageways. You have to make sure that the couple won't be able to escape!"

Lin Yuan was targeting not only the young Nine-Headed Snakes but their parents as well.

If this Nine-Headed Snake couple that had power above the Holy Spirit level joined Sky City, the faction would gain another two reliable experts!

Lin Yuan's Body of All Spirits could absorb the bloodline of other lifeforms. It was likely that the Nine-Headed Snake bloodline would allow Lin Yuan's body to improve significantly!
