Fey Evolution Merchant

Chapter 2865  Treasure City Sealed Off!

Kani finally understood something: as the leader of her species, strength was paramount. Without strength, everything was just empty talk.

During her time by Lin Yuan's side, Kani had affirmed one thing: even if Lin Yuan took over the territory of the King Blood Jackals, he harbored no intention of controlling them. The King Blood Jackals remained under her control.

Although elevating the King Blood Jackals' ambitions would make them work even harder, it could jeopardize the stability of Kani's position. However, Kani still planned to develop the King Blood Jackals in this way in the future. Kani's current strength was something that the other King Blood Jackals couldn't catch up to.

Kani's bloodline had evolved to Emperor Blood grade, reaching the pinnacle of the bloodline history of the King Blood Jackals. If she stayed by Lin Yuan's side, she would be able to obtain more opportunities.

"In that case, don't worry and bring me back to the chamber of commerce of your Purple Feather Rain Pigeons. Remember to take me around Treasure City in the next few days and let me purchase more resources for Master!"

Kani did not make any promises to Yu Run, but her words assured him that she would protect the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons. With Kani's support, the Bloodwood Lion Bees could no longer cause any harm to the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons.

The next few days were exceptionally fulfilling for Lin Yuan. The Bloodwood Lion Bees did not directly find trouble with the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons.

However, the merchant groups dispatched by the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons were still being ambushed by the Bloodwood Lion Bees, causing the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons' merchant groups to suffer heavy losses.

Yu Run was extremely anxious, yet Kani did not show any intention of helping.

Yu Run didn't want the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons to die under the Bloodwood Lion Bees' targeting. In the long run, the death of a large number of Purple Feather Rain Pigeons would undoubtedly cause them to die out.

Nevertheless, Kani did not take the initiative to aid the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons in attacking the Bloodwood Lion Bees, as she had her own considerations. Kani only intervened passively to assist the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons when they faced imminent danger of severe injury.

Even if the Bloodwood Lion Bees had backing, Lin Yuan wouldn't hold Kani accountable if anything went awry. However, if Kani took the initiative to help the Purple Feather Rain Pigeons attack the Bloodwood Lion Bees, she would not be able to answer to Lin Yuan.

…

The Treasure Convention was about to begin, and everyone gathered in Treasure City.

The number of factions living in Fortune Treasure Palace gradually increased, and a large number of factions moved in every day.

The courtyards of Fortune Treasure Palace were positioned adjacent to each other, facilitating social interactions.

Many factions had visited Lin Yuan's courtyard in the past few days. However, due to Lin Yuan's busy schedule, Spring and Winter had refrained from entertaining guests. Consequently, many factions began to label Lin Yuan as cold and aloof.

However, the major factions all understood one thing: only powerful factions had the qualifications to be aloof. If a weak faction was cold and aloof, it was equivalent to digging their own grave. As a result, many factions were paying attention to Lin Yuan and wanted to see where he came from.

Lin Yuan did not know about this, and even if he was aware, he would be indifferent.

Under Kani's supervision, more than 40,000 books compiled by the chambers of commerce in Treasure City were sent to Lin Yuan on the afternoon of the third day.

Fortunately, Genius' grade had evolved, and the speed at which it read these books through spiritual energy was more than five times faster than before. Otherwise, Genius wouldn't have been able to finish reading all the books in six days.

Lin Yuan had just taken a deep breath when he saw Zhan Lu, the person in charge of Fortune Treasure Palace, personally come to his courtyard. Under normal circumstances, Zhan Lu could just contact him using the Fantasy Crystal Birth Stone Flower.

When Zhan Lu saw Lin Yuan, he said extremely seriously, "Young Master Lin, due to unforeseen circumstances, the Treasure Convention is likely to be postponed."

Lin Yuan revealed a puzzled expression. The postponement of such a large-scale event held by a big city would have a huge impact on the entire Treasure City and would cause Treasure City to be questioned by all walks of life.

It was worth noting that many factions had already come to Treasure City to participate in the Treasure Convention. Postponing it would disrupt the schedules of these factions to a large extent, leading to a decrease in the influence of the Treasure Convention.

It was also important to note that the Treasure Convention only happened once every hundred years. It was difficult for the entire Treasure City and the factions living in it to bear such a loss.

Lin Yuan did not speak immediately because he knew that since Zhan Lu had mentioned this to him, he would definitely give him a reason, "Oh? I wonder how long the Treasure Convention will be postponed?"

The postponement of the Treasure Convention meant that the people from the major factions had to stay in Fortune Treasure Palace for a long time. Fortune Treasure Palace's business would become even more popular in a short period. However, it would only be disadvantageous for Fortune Treasure Palace in the long term as it would face skepticism from the outside world.

Fortune Treasure Palace had branches in various large cities. If its Treasure City branch was not as good as before, Fortune Treasure Palace would undoubtedly question Zhan Lu.

"I can't confirm the exact time, Young Master Lin. Treasure City has already entered a state of martial law. Two void passageways have appeared in the north and south of Treasure City at the same time.

"Because these two void passageways are too close to each other, they are showing signs of fusing. A large number of Abyssal Beasts have already begun to gather below these two void passageways.

"Once the void passageway appears, everything in the nearby compatibility range that needs to be communicated through spatial energy will lose its communication ability."

"I'm here to inform you, and I also have to inform the other guests later."

Zhan Lu's words reminded Lin Yuan of the dimensional rift that had opened in the main world. The void passageways in the Sky Beyond the Clouds were quite similar to the dimensional rift in the main world, but there was a huge difference between them.

The dimensional rift was opened due to the high activity of the dimensional space. However, the void passageway had to be artificially connected to the void using a special method.

While the void passageway might naturally open, the locations where such passageways naturally form were at the edge of the Sky Beyond the Clouds.

However, even the wilderness of the North of the Lonely River was not considered a border area, let alone Treasure City, which was already within the range of the continent.

Lin Yuan had only just arrived in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, but he already knew so much about the void passageway because he had considered artificially opening and feeding Red Thorn and Silver Corona through it.

Due to the fact that opening the void passageway required a few extremely difficult-to-find special spatial resources, Lin Yuan had been unable to do so.

The void passageway would gradually decline if it was opened in places without void energy replenishment. Consequently, the void lifeforms that surged from the passageway would diminish in grade, becoming far inferior to the mice fed to Silver Corona and Red Thorn.

The two void passageways here must have been artificially opened. It appeared that someone was plotting to attack Treasure City! However, it was unknown which faction was behind this scheme.

The faction was definitely very powerful. Otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen to strike just as the Treasure Convention was about to commence. Attacking at this time would offend all the factions that were preparing to participate in the Treasure Convention. Nevertheless, it's also the most profitable moment for them.

"Fortune Treasure Palace has extensive sources of information. Do you know which faction opened these two void passageways?"

Zhan Lu gritted his teeth and said, "Your Grace Lin Yuan, I really didn't know about this! It's best if I don't know which faction did it. Otherwise, I won't let this matter rest!" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Only the star pirates who self-claim to be powerful would do such a thing. A single star pirate faction would never dare to attack Treasure City. This is most likely a joint operation between star pirates. It's very likely that dozens of star pirate groups are among them.

"These pirate groups plundered for a living and lived a life of bloodshed. Since they dare to attack Treasure City, they must have enough forces to rely on. This situation is probably going to be troublesome!"

Zhan Lu apologized to Lin Yuan and expressed that he wanted to inform the other factions. He did not seek Lin Yuan's assistance in helping Treasure City overcome this crisis.

Firstly, it was because these star pirate groups had already sealed off Treasure, and members of any faction in Treasure City were the prey of these star pirate groups. Secondly, even if someone were to request Lin Yuan's assistance, it should be an official faction member of Treasure City and not him. Apart from personal matters, Zhan Lu did not want to owe Lin Yuan anything else.

Spring and Winter stayed by Lin Yuan's side and did not speak.

After Zhan Lu left, Spring said to Lin Yuan, "Young Master, if Treasure City is really sealed off like what Zhan Lu said, there will definitely be endless turmoil in Treasure City in the short term! Regardless of whether a star pirate group attacked, any faction that dares to seize control of Treasure City must be exceptionally powerful! However, they will undoubtedly face repercussions from the Honor Absent Palace for such actions.

"Taking this into consideration, the Treasure Convention will probably be delayed considerably. Do you still intend to remain in Treasure City? If you prefer to leave, we can depart at any time."

Spring was able to say such words when Treasure City was sealed off because she was confident in her strength.

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "Given the circumstances, it's an opportunity to broaden our horizons. I'm curious how Treasure City will navigate this crisis. Let's just wait and see! Meanwhile, I can use this time to observe the reactions of the other factions. I think the guests in Fortune Treasure Palace will soon learn that Treasure City has been sealed."

Winter agreed with Lin Yuan's suggestion. Since Lin Yuan did not choose to obtain the memories of his previous life in the Returning Saint Pool, Lin Yuan really needed to train more under such circumstances. At this moment, the tumultuous Treasure City could be considered an excellent training ground.

"Young Master, if I'm right, Treasure City will descend into chaos even before those individuals intent on seizing or plundering it make a move. I'm afraid many factions are already preparing to exploit the situation and make a fortune in Treasure City! Those factions with grudges will take this opportunity to settle scores and eliminate each other.

"Young Master, you can take advantage of this opportunity by recruiting some talents from Treasure City into Sky City to expand our Sequence reserve. This way, not only can we inject fresh talents into Sky City, but it will also add pressure on the few hundred members of the white-clothed followers who are training to become Sequences! A sense of danger was the crucial foundation to improve strength rapidly."

Lin Yuan nodded.

So far, he had only gone to the Sky Beyond the Clouds to control the Four Species Overlords of the Lonely River, as well as Kani, the King Blood Jackal Queen. However, the Lonely River's Four Species Overlords were not considered Sky City's members.

If Lin Yuan wanted to develop in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, he would definitely have to nurture experts there. Now was indeed a good time to select talents for Sky City.

Lin Yuan raised his hand and summoned Genius. He hugged Genius and stroked its soft fur.

"Genius, you've worked hard recently. You've probably stretched yourself thin. It's time to take a good rest!"

"There are already 200,000 Hundred Questions Beasts in the Hundred Questions Beast Army. Each of them is a Class 4 Creation Master. After you became a Class 5 Creation Master, you also taught those Hundred Questions Beasts that you took a fancy to.

"The strength of these Hundred Questions Beasts that you have taught has reached the level of a Class 5 Creation Master. You can now liberate yourself and hand over your matters to the Hundred Questions Beast army!

"As a leader of your species, you don't have to do everything yourself."

Lin Yuan's tone was extremely serious as he spoke. The current Hundred Questions Beast Army was a testament to Genius' hard work over the years. Lin Yuan saw Genius' hard work and didn't want it to exhaust itself.

If Lin Yuan didn't have to help a subordinate or companion increase their strength, he wouldn't be working so hard day and night.

With the Hundred Questions Beast army, the Deposit Vegetable Pods in human form could already circulate their own stable production resources in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

Lin Yuan was now investing more of his energy in the management and development of Sky City. The resources collected this time would be considered part of Sky City's development. Despite Lin Yuan's hard work in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, he couldn't create these rare resources himself.

Under the night sky, the entire Treasure City descended into a state of panic, especially among those factions that did not have the ability to resist this conflict. The factions had no choice but to accept their fate now that they faced such a storm.

Some factions that had gone to Treasure City to participate in the Treasure Convention were unwilling to get involved in this mess. They had already begun to negotiate with the star pirate groups that had opened two void passageways to seal off Treasure City.
