Chapter 1265: Pinnacle of Strange Flame

At that moment, Lin Yuan said, “Big Brother Zong, did you notice anything different about Ten Thousand Source Hall when you went to collect the Wind Crystal Precious Bottle?”

Lin Yuan asked Zong Ze this as he wanted to know whether anything out of the ordinary was happening with Whale Ocean Commerce.

Whale Ocean Commerce had to know that Ten Thousand Flags Trading had killed Sea Sky Nurture.

It would be very strange if nothing were amiss about Ten Thousand Source Hall.

Moreover, Lin Yuan wanted to find out more about Whale Ocean Commerce.

Since they were one of the top three top factions and were supported by Chef Supreme, Zong Ze, who was one of Chef Supreme’s disciples, should know a lot about them.

Zong Ze did not rush to reply and started to think deeply.

Although he had not known Lin Yuan for long, he knew that Lin Yuan always spoke with intention. One did not need to ponder and puzzle over his true intentions.

Hence, Lin Yuan had to have his reasons for mentioning Whale Ocean Commerce.

While he was thinking, he decided to first tell Lin Yuan about the relationship between Kitchen Fragrance Palace and Whale Ocean Commerce.

“Brother, the relationship between Whale Ocean Commerce and Kitchen Fragrance Palace is very different from what it used to be. They have not come to Kitchen Fragrance Palace to ask for Creation Master resources from Master in three or four years. However, they still provide offerings so that the outside world assumes that they are still close to Kitchen Fragrance Palace.

“If I were to bring up anything special that has happened to Whale Ocean Commerce recently, it would be that Di Wancheng has gained immortal power. Whale Ocean Commerce themselves revealed this piece of news.”

Zong Ze paused for a moment before saying, “As Rhine Lifeform and Cage of Brahma Insects developed over the last few decades with the help of the Moon Empress and Bamboo Monarch’s resources, they must have gained more than one thearch-class expert with immortal power. However, Rhine Lifeform and Cage of Brahma Insects have never revealed any of them. Compared to Rhine Lifeform and Cage of Brahma Insects, Whale Ocean Commerce is exposing itself.

“At the same time, it’s understandable because Di Hao has decided to participate in this year’s Radiance Hundred Sequence selection. Di Wantian only has one son, so Di Hao has secured the title of Young Leader. Di Hao is already 25 years old this year. There can only be one reason he’s suddenly participating in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection after not participating for years. Di Wancheng wants to use the Radiance Hundred Sequence as a stepping stone to the Radiance Envoy selection two years later. This is the only reason to explain why Whale Ocean Commerce is making such a public move after keeping a low profile for so long.”

Lin Yuan immediately felt that something was wrong with Whale Ocean Commerce.

If Whale Ocean Commerce revealed their two experts with immortal power in order to brandish their power and disrupt the balance between the top three top factions, Ten Thousand Flags Trading did not need to wipe out Sea Sky Nurture, which mostly consisted of Creation Masters.

Whale Ocean Commerce’s overall Creation Master resources had been depressed by killing off Sea Sky Nurture.

This seemed the complete opposite of what Di Hao wanted.

The members of top factions usually were not assessed before they participated in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection as they had the support of an entire top faction.

However, every person would have to be thoroughly checked by the Radiance Sacred Hall before they were allowed to participate in the Radiance Envoy selection.

Lin Yuan was not certain if his identity as the City Lord of Sky City would be revealed, but he knew that his identity as Black would not be able to be kept under wraps.

The Radiance Sacred Hall would certainly discover that Ten Thousand Flags Trading had despicably killed Sea Sky Nurture.

A faction’s internal conflict that resulted in murder would have a huge negative impact on that faction if the news were released. There was no way that Di Hao would be able to become a Radiance Envoy with this hanging over him.

Whale Ocean Commerce had to be aware of this.

Hence, it was much more likely that Whale Ocean Commerce was making such big waves, and Di Hao was suddenly participating in the Radiance Hundred Sequence to draw as much attention to these two events as possible to cover up their other shady activities.

But no matter how hard they tried to hide it, Di Hao would not be able to participate in the Radiance Envoy selection two years later.

Whale Ocean Commerce’s high-profile actions had also caught the eye of the members of royalty.

It seemed that Whale Ocean Commerce was, in a roundabout way, trying to stall the two years.

However, Lin Yuan did not understand what good stalling would do. What would they be able to achieve in the next two years?

Regardless, this was only Lin Yuan’s speculation.

From what Zong Ze said, Lin Yuan was sure that Zong Ze had no clue about the specifics of what had taken place within Whale Ocean Commerce.

Nonetheless, Lin Yuan had genuinely obtained information from Zong Ze about Whale Ocean Commerce that he had not known before.

In order to find out Whale Ocean Commerce’s endgame, the best option for Lin Yuan would be to understand the collaboration between Whale Ocean Commerce and Connected Beast Park.

In the upcoming blood pact ultimate fight between the Sea Bliss Clan and Connected Beast Park, the latter would fully lean on Lin Yuan’s identity as the Moon Empress’ disciple.

Once they were completely reliant on him, he would be able to use them to learn what was exactly going on with Whale Ocean Commerce.

After lunch, Zong Ze readied himself to bid goodbye to Lin Yuan.

His bad luck was now solved, and the Fiery Sky Hou’s bloodline had been purified.

Since the Fiery Sky Hou’s eight high-grade strange flames had combined into one top-grade strange flame, it could now consume another seven types of strange flames.

Given that it could wield the Red Plum Falling Fire, it was only expected that the Fiery Sky Hou would also be able to control other top-grade strange flames.

If he could gain eight top-grade strange flames, the Fiery Sky Hou’s combat power would shoot upward.

An idea popped into his head.

Since the eight high-grade strange flames had combined together to form a top-grade strange flame, it indicated that top-grade strange flame was the pinnacle of strange flames.

He wondered what would happen if he used the Fiery Sky Hou’s Tempering of Fire to temper and produce eight top-grade strange flames.
