Chapter 1283: Fight to the End

It was likely that Long Lamplight already knew about the large whale fall.

Lin Yuan knitted his brow tightly.

He was not surprised to hear that the Sea Bliss Clan had hired the Five Thearch Soldiers, as Wen Yu’s investigation had already uncovered that information.

However, he did not expect the Five Thearch Soldiers to remain on the islands or that they knew about the whale fall as well.

Lin Yuan would not be afraid in the slightest if only the Five Thearch Soldiers were involved.

Although the Five Thearch Soldiers and Coiling Dragon’s Valley were on good terms, Lin Yuan would not show them mercy when something like the whale fall was at stake.

However, all the factions in the Radiance Federation were intertwined, and half of the 50 top factions were supported by the 13 members of royalty. For example, the Moon Empress supported the Cage of Brahma Insects, Chef Supreme supported Whale Ocean Commerce, and the Bamboo Monarch supported Coiling Dragon’s Valley. In the same way, the Five Thearch Soldiers were supported by Long Lamplight.

Moreover, every relationship between a member of royalty and the faction they supported was different.

The name Five Thearch Soldiers came about from the five thearch-class experts in the faction. Two of the Five Thearch-class experts used to be Long Lamplight’s assistants, but they eventually left Bright Light Building for some reason. But regardless, they remained on close terms with Long Lamplight.

When Long Lamplight held the Ten Thousand Lamps Temple Fair six years ago, not only had he invited these two thearch-class experts but they were even seated in the special guest section.

As such, Lin Yuan did not think it unlikely that the Five Thearch Soldiers would tell Long Lamplight about such an opportunity.

If so, it would not be good news.

Lin Yuan regretted not immediately rushing to the whale fall when he heard about it from Qi Haitao and Qi Heng in Sky City’s private territory.

At that moment, Qi Heng was holding his breath as he looked at Lin Yuan with tightly pursed lips. However, he did not regret telling Lin Yuan the truth.

This matter concerned a member of royalty. Although Qi Heng had witnessed Sky City’s powerful martial force, he still did not think Sky City would dare fight over resources with a member of royalty.

Qi Heng had no idea what was coming next.

While Qi Heng’s imagination was running wild, the young man who had been silently standing behind Lin Yuan took a step forward and asked him, “Do you know when the sea clan experts arrived on the island to negotiate with the Sea Bliss Clan and Five Thearch Soldiers?”

Qi Heng went through his memories before replying honestly, “Lord, this didn’t happen that long ago. According to my memory, it happened last Tuesday at 7:00 p.m.”

Liu Jie turned to say to Lin Yuan, “Young Master, today is Monday. If it happened last Tuesday at 7:00 p.m., then it happened six days ago. I heard that Long Lamplight rushed to the outskirts a week ago. Hence, there’s no way Long Lamplight doesn’t know about this matter.”

Qi Heng did not feel much when Liu Jie calculated the time. But when Liu Jie mentioned the part about Long Lamplight’s journey, Qi Heng’s eyes widened.

The members of royalty in the Radiance Federation all had incomparable power, and their travel plans were kept secret. There was no way that outsiders would know about them.

Not even the two thearch-class experts amongst the Five Thearch Soldiers were privy to Long Lamplight’s travel plans.

So how did this mask-wearing man know? He had heard about it! Where would you go to hear about such a thing?

Moreover, Qi Heng had noticed that the mask-wearing young man had addressed Lin Yuan as ‘Young Master’ instead of ‘City Lord’. This meant that the mask-wearing man was not just a member of Sky City but one of Lin Yuan’s servants.

From another angle, it could also be said that the City Lord of Sky City had an even more impressive identity. This identity had to be impressive enough that even his servant knew about the movements of a member of royalty.

When this thought entered his mind, Qi Heng felt that his imagination was not sufficient because he could not fathom what kind of person in the Radiance Federation would have such capabilities.

Lin Yuan’s brow relaxed when he heard what Liu Jie said.

The members of royalty did not need to report to anyone where they went. But when they wanted to head to the outskirts, they needed to let the Spirit Guards know first.

The Spirit Guards had no say over where the members of royalty went, but they needed to provide the Spirit Guards with a report.

Since Liu Jie was Night Leaning Moon’s disciple, he was able to access the information on where the members of royalty went.

As long as the matter did not concern the member of royalty himself, Lin Yuan would not yield and fight for the whale fall till the end because it would help the Floating Island Whale to hatch quicker and enable Lin Yuan to produce a true Sky City.

“Young Master, Long Lamplight is not the only one not present in the Radiance Federation. There are also five Radiance Envoys who aren’t here. If the Five Thearch Soldiers need to report to Long Lamplight, they’ll most likely have to report to An He, who’s still in the Radiance Federation,” said Liu Jie.

When Liu Jie mentioned An He, Lin Yuan remembered the call Zong Ze made to Gu Lang a few days ago.

At that time, Zong Ze and An He had been clashing at the Class 5 dimensional rift outside of Cold Frost City. From what Gu Lang said, Zong Ze had called when the fight was at its tail end.

Gu Lang had gone to the Class 5 marsh dimensional rift to search for dimensional lifeforms, so he had to have a few experts with him.

Yet, he still could not defeat An He easily. This meant that An He had to have had experts with him as well.

Lin Yuan felt that the Invisible Demon might not be able to defeat An He’s experts even with its immortal power.

But any martial force used during the fight for the large whale fall would result in strange consequences.

After thinking for some time, Lin Yuan decided to communicate with Red Thorn through his spiritual energy and instruct it to use its Tongue of Relinquish to control Liu Yanshan so that he could be manipulated to go to White Speak. If there were no other choice, he would have to release White Speak out of the marsh world.

Currently, Morbius was unable to read the data of Immortal lifeforms. Hence, Lin Yuan could not investigate White Speak.

But according to what the Invisible Demon said, once White Speak reached pinnacle Class 12, it would have the power of an Immortal IX fey.
