Xie Lin made every effort to clarify the situation to Lin Yuan, worried that his explanation might seem implausible. Fortunately, Lin Yuan didn’t dwell on the issue, which brought Xie Lin a sense of relief.

After Lin Yuan entered the City Lord Manor, Ling Muzhuo waited for half an hour and immediately mobilized people to guard the City Lord Manor closely.

At that moment, Ling Muzhuo would stop anyone who entered the City Lord Manor. Ling Muzhuo was deeply concerned about the impending clash between Lin Yuan and the Ancient Snake Gu Palace. He truly valued Lin Yuan, and there were indeed transactions between them.

Ling Muzhuo’s genuine concern for Lin Yuan stemmed from the potential value he could bring to Fortune Treasure Palace and Ling Muzhuo himself.

Ling Muzhuo was reluctant to lose such a valuable ally due to this operation. If something happened to Lin Yuan and he died in the hands of the Ancient Snake Gu Palace, Ling Muzhuo would not be able to find a Creator resource channel as convenient as Lin Yuan’s.

After bringing Lin Yuan to the City Lord Manor, Xie Lin heaved a sigh of relief. He brought Lin Yuan all the way to the banquet hall where the three of them had gathered. Xie Lin’s gaze immediately became sharp.

However, Xie Lin did not show it immediately. Instead, he spoke to Lin Yuan. “Young Master Lin, the Creator resources in your hands are very useful to me. I wonder if I can trade with you more?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan laughed in a frivolous manner. “City Lord Xie, you’re really humorous. Who doesn’t need the high-quality Creator resources in my hands? Even if lifeforms in the abyss obtain this pure spirit qi, they can use it to refine their own crystals. However, my Creator resources are not something that you can trade for at will. I’ll only entertain the idea if you can offer superior resources compared to before.”

Xie Lin sneered. “I don’t have any better resources on hand. I’ve already traded them all with you. This time when I called you here, it wasn’t for a trade but to directly obtain Creator resources from you. I believe, you should be willing to extend me credit for the sake of survival, shouldn’t you?”

As soon as Xie Lin finished speaking, several auras shot toward Lin Yuan and Autumn. These auras did not have any killing intent toward Lin Yuan. They even deliberately avoided him, afraid that if they were too strong, they would cause him to become demented or die here. If Lin Yuan died there, the trading channels would be cut off. However, these auras were filled with decisive killing intent toward Autumn.

Lin Yuan’s unyielding att.i.tude caused the Ancient Snake Gu Palace’s Snake Lord to be dissatisfied.

The Snake Lords were prepared to test whether Lin Yuan, with his sole guard eliminated, would remain as audacious as he currently appeared without any support.

Despite being targeted by so many auras, Autumn did not immediately reveal his strength. Instead, he allowed these auras to target him. Then, he only used his strength to resist against the strongest among them. What Autumn wanted to do was to attract as many experts as possible from the Ancient Snake Gu Palace.

Ever since Lin Yuan entered the City Lord Manor, Winter had been prepared to receive him at any time.

The division of labor between Autumn and Winter was clear. Firstly, Autumn would lure the experts of the Ancient Snake Gu Palace, and Winter would prevent the experts from escaping. Then, they would surround the Ancient Snake Gu Palace from the outside.

At this moment, the two Snake Lords of Ancient Snake Gu Palace appeared.

The strength Autumn displayed greatly surprised the two Snake Lords, especially the weaker Snake Lord. He seemed to be extremely wary of Autumn, fearing that Autumn might have plans to use him as a scapegoat in case of resistance.

At this level of strength, these experts possessed remarkable resilience and almost always had some cards up their sleeves. Even those with slightly greater strength couldn’t guarantee gaining an advantage in a confrontation.

Both Snake Lords harbored murderous intent toward Lin Yuan, who stood beside Autumn.

The fact that Lin Yuan who had lived for more than 50 years could have such an expert as a guard meant that his faction must be on par with the Ancient Snake Gu Palace in terms of strength. Moreover, judging from Lin Yuan’s Creator resources, it was not impossible for his faction to be stronger than the Ancient Snake Gu Palace.

Now that they had trapped him and his guard within the City Lord Manor, killing them to ensure that no information leaked out would be preferable to facing retaliation from this faction later on.

In the Ancient Snake Gu Palace, there was no such thing as cooperation. Otherwise, they would not have used such a method to target Lin Yuan. The two Snake Lords were prepared to use their trump cards, but what puzzled them was that after using their trump cards, the two of them fell into a disadvantageous position in the battle.

Autumn said coldly, “You should be from the Ancient Snake Gu Palace. What’s your Ancient Snake Gu Palace’s motive for targeting my young master now? Let go of him and let this matter go. I won’t hold it against you. If not, don’t blame me for fighting with all I’ve got. Even if I can’t kill the two of you, it’s not difficult for me to drag one of you down with me.”

Autumn’s words were meant to provoke the two Snake Lords into calling for reinforcements from the Ancient Snake Gu Palace after realizing they couldn’t handle Autumn alone.

After saying that, Autumn deliberately released a little of his strength, allowing his aura to faintly overwhelm the strongest Snake Lord. The strength revealed made the two Snake Lords reveal grave expressions.

Facing Autumn’s threat, the two Snake Lords were extremely wary. After living for so many years and reaching such a level of strength, n.o.body would willingly choose to die. The two Snake Lords were astonished at why Autumn’s aura had surged so significantly.

Especially the weaker Snake Lord, who was afraid that Autumn might go berserk and target him, said to the stronger Snake Lord, “Third Brother, why don’t we let them go now? Otherwise, the two of us might not be able to take him down. Moreover, even if we do, we might not be able to obtain the pure spirit qi we want.”

As he spoke, the Snake Lord looked at Xie Lin with a malicious gaze. The two Snake Lords had asked Xie Lin about Lin Yuan’s strength. Xie Lin said that Lin Yuan had brought a guard with him, but he didn’t say that this guard was so powerful.

The Snake Lord, who was clearly stronger, said firmly, “We can’t allow them to leave. If we let them go, how could we ensure they do not seek revenge later? Eighth Brother has been asleep for so many years. Don’t tell me you can’t even understand the current situation?

“More than half of the factions that came here have a grudge against our Ancient Snake Gu Palace. Once the news spreads, the Faerie Inst.i.tution will definitely be the first to attack us. Back in the day, Second Brother killed a higher faerie in order to level up. The Faerie Inst.i.tution won’t just let this go easily. We must keep them here!”

As he spoke, the Snake Lord let out a hiss, and right on the heels of that, several auras rushed over. However, these auras were inferior to the two Snake Lords.

Xie Lin noticed the gaze of one of the Snake Lords directed toward him, realizing that this operation he had facilitated had stirred dissatisfaction in the Snake Lords due to the inherent risks involved. He had to do something. Otherwise, if the Snake Lords came to

settle scores with him later, he would be in trouble!

Thinking of the experts recruited by the alliance, Xie Lin hurriedly sent a signal to gather these experts.

At this time, Winter was thinking that he was the most suitable person to enter the venue. When he received the news from Xie Lin, Winter showed a cold smile on his face.

The Ancient Snake Gu Palace was really bold to plan to a.s.sa.s.sinate Lord Saint. It had been years since Winter had utilized his true strength to a.s.sist Lord Saint in combat. Serving and fighting for Lord Saint was Winter’s utmost desire as a loyal follower. Moreover, Winter had not fought for so many years and had long wanted to stretch his muscles.

It was impossible for the Ancient Snake Gu Palace to only send two Snake Lords. Winter knew that the Ancient Snake Gu Palace definitely had a backup plan.

After sensing the auras of the two Snake Lords, Winter had already guessed why the Ancient Snake Gu Palace wanted so many spirit qi crystals. It was to revive these Snake Lords and provide them with energy.

The reason the Ancient Snake Gu Palace had been in seclusion for so many years was not because they were targeted by many wary factions. Instead, it was because the Ancient Snake Gu Palace had discovered a way to obtain longevity.

Winter sensed the aura of the Fate Transferring Nine Desolation Scorpion from the two Snake Lords of the Ancient Snake Gu Palace. The Fate Transferring Nine Desolation Scorpion was a lifeform that was comparable to the Enlightenment Cicada.

Due to the Lifespan Mouse, Lin Yuan looked down on the Fate Transferring Nine Desolation Scorpion, which had strong side effects. Despite this, for other powerful lifeforms in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, embedding scorpion poison granted them near-immortality. Though their consciousness was limited, each implantation weakened them, and a large amount of pure spirit qi was needed to recover their strength, the Fate Transferring Nine Desolation Scorpion remained the most invaluable a.s.set.

Before Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter went to that Cla.s.s 1 world to establish Epoch G.o.d Palace, the news of the Fate Transferring Nine Desolation Scorpion appearing in the Sky Beyond the Clouds had spread.

It turned out that the Fate Transferring Nine Desolation Scorpion had been taken by the Ancient Snake Gu Palace. This was truly a stroke of immense fortune! It was unfortunate that the Ancient Snake Gu Palace’s fate wasn’t favorable, as they’d set their sights on Lord Saint!

Implanting the venom of the Fate Transferring Nine Desolation Scorpion indeed granted endless lifespan, but the corresponding cost was that one’s strength would not be able to progress further.

These Snake Lords had lived in the Sky Beyond the Clouds for countless years. After capturing them, as long as Lin Yuan could pry open their mouths, he could easily know the development of the Sky Beyond the Clouds over the years.

To Lin Yuan now, this was no less valuable than this top-grade blessed land itself as it would probably be very difficult to find old fellows like these Snake Lords in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. Even a faerie king wouldn’t have such a long lifespan.

These two Snake Lords were quite displeased with Xie Lin’s decision to gather these allies. However, they understood that this was indeed the best way to enhance their own strength and leverage. Anyway, these experts that Xie Lin had gathered wouldn’t be able to recognize them. If anyone did happen to recognize them, they could conveniently be killed for sustenance.

They could take this opportunity to eliminate these experts. If they could not be persuaded to pledge allegiance, using them as sustenance would still be a form of loyalty to the Ancient Serpent Gu Palace in its own way!

Xie Lin immediately gave the order after these experts arrived, “Now, go and take care of that guy over there. Before joining the alliance, you all swore to stand together with the alliance. I believe none of you will break your word. Now, if you help us out here, I’ll provide you with a substantial amount of resources. You’ll also have priority access to the resources produced by this top-grade blessed land!”

Xie Lin’s words were indeed enticing, but the experts present were not fools. They all possessed the ability to think for themselves. Autumn’s aura was clearly the strongest among them, much stronger than theirs. If they helped Xie Lin at this moment and offended such a powerful enemy, wouldn’t that be akin to inviting death? Who would want to die if they could live?

Xie Lin’s face darkened when he saw that the experts he had gathered had no intention of making a move.

Just then, Xie Lin heard Winter speak. “I can help. It’s just that I need more benefits when it’s done. I recognize him. He should be Young Master Lin, who trades Creator resources with various factions, right? If you can obtain pure Creator resources after this, I need you to give me a share!”

Winter was displaying an insane amount of greed outwardly, a greed that greatly displeased both Xie Lin and the two Snake Lords. If Xie Lin and the two Snake Lords really obtained pure spirit qi, they wouldn’t just refrain from trading with Winter. On the contrary, Winter would naturally become prey for the Snake Lords of the Ancient Serpent Gu Palace.

Although they weren’t going to give out this resource, Xie Lin and the two Snake Lords agreed to Winter’s request.

Even though Winter agreed to help, the other experts did not take action. They were already thinking of leaving the City Lord Manor. The main reason why they joined the City Lord Manor in the beginning was because they wanted to obtain a stable channel to obtain resources. However, the more they interacted with these experts, the more they felt that something was wrong with Xie Lin’s situation.

Winter had already stood behind the weaker Snake Lord and spoke. “His strength far surpa.s.ses mine. I can only help with feigned attacks or deal with that little guy over there. If you want me to fight him to the death, I can’t do it.”

Winter’s words once again gained the trust of the two Snake Lords. In such a critical situation, the two Snake Lords were no longer prepared to keep Lin Yuan alive. They immediately said, “In that case, help us deal with the little guy standing over there.”

“A guard who can’t even protect their master won’t have a place to go even if they leave here. Consider joining our Ancient Serpent Gu Palace. By joining us, I can grant you immortality. As long as you behave obediently, having an endless lifespan is not difficult at all. If you miss this opportunity, there won’t be such a good opportunity after your master’s death!”

This Snake Lord’s words were not only intended to recruit Autumn and gain his loyalty but also aimed to unsettle Autumn’s mind. Both Snake Lords could see Autumn’s loyalty to Lin Yuan. It was basically

impossible to recruit such a loyal person and make him betray his savior.
