Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)
chapter-2882

It wasn't difficult for Lin Yuan to ascertain this. All he needed to do was ask the Holy Spirit experts he had taken control of.

Alternatively, he could get the answer by asking Spring and Winter.

Many of the Holy Spirit experts under Lin Yuan came from large species. They did not lack resources during their growth. If there was any chance that they were able to nurture more holy spirits in their divine kingdom, they definitely would not pass up on the opportunity. Hence, it was highly likely that his divine kingdom was special.

Lin Yuan had proven this when he gained a holy spirit in his divine kingdom back when he was only a pinnacle spirit fire expert.

After Lin Yuan used Truth to take control of the holy spirits in Liu Yao and Liu Chen's divine kingdoms, Winter released Liu Yao and Liu Chen from their restraints.

Winter did not have a bad impression of Liu Yao and Liu Chen. They continued to prioritize searching for their offspring and their offspring's safety despite being under Lin Yuan's control. They did not try to gain anything from Lin Yuan. This lack of greed and bluff made them suitable for Lin Yuan to use.

After they were released, Liu Yao and Liu Chen continued acting respectfully toward Lin Yuan. They bowed deeply to him.

Liu Yao spoke first, "Lord, we will definitely work for you loyally from now on. I hope you will help us to find our offspring as soon as possible!"

Normally, Liu Yao would never make a request to Lin Yuan immediately after joining him. However, this was a special situation. She did not want her offspring's future development to be affected because she did not transfer energy to it in time. She also did not want the person who stole her offspring to end up as her offspring's closest kin.

Lin Yuan immediately said, "I heard the news from Winter before you arrived. I have already asked the City Lord to send a team of City Guards to search all the factions' resources using the star pirates' invasion as an excuse. All the two of you need to do is retract your aura and stay with the City Guards.

"If you find your offspring, just retrieve it. Don't act impulsively while you're with the City Guards. Once the City Guards are done with their investigation, you can seek revenge if you want. Remember to minimize unnecessary harm when you act!"

Liu Chen and Liu Yao were extremely thankful to Lin Yuan. Not only had he found a way for them to search for their offspring, but he even cared for their feelings and gave them the opportunity to seek revenge. He did not tell them to forget about revenge for the sake of the repercussions.

"Lord, you don't have to worry. Whatever Ah Yao and I do won't cause any negative impacts that affect you! Can you let us go now?"

Liu Chen had only just joined Lin Yuan. Liu Chen knew that Lin Yuan had to have many things that he wanted to ask about the star pirates' invasion. He was worried that Lin Yuan would hold him and Liu Yao back and only allow them to leave after they told him everything.

However, Liu Chen's concern did not come into play.

"I will personally take you to see Treasure City's City Lord. Everything else can wait until you've found your offspring."

Lin Yuan's words warmed Liu Chen and Liu Yao's hearts. They were lucky to have joined such a master!

Although Liu Yao and Liu Chen could not ascertain the egg's location, they could still sense their egg and would definitely be able to identify it.

Li Feng did not know what Lin Yuan's reason for making such a suggestion was.

However, Li Feng wanted to use the opportunity that was the star pirates' invasion to gain an understanding of the factions' resources. This would enable him to move forward in taking control of Treasure City. He would not be able to do so without the circumstances of crisis and danger.

At first, Li Feng only sent two teams of City Guards. But he ended up sending eight teams because Lin Yuan had secretly promised him that the Star Pirate Alliance would not destroy Treasure City.

In Li Feng's mind, Lin Yuan's method of destroying the two pinnacle Class 3 void passageways was almost magical.

Li Feng trusted Lin Yuan's promise.

Li Feng had displeased many factions by sending the City Guards to rummage through and check all their resources. However, given the circumstances, not even Yin Ruo, who had two Holy Spirit experts, could turn down Li Feng's request.

It did not take long for Liu Chen and Liu Yao to return to Lin Yuan. They found their offspring in a chamber of commerce. It had been displayed on a shelf without being given any special treatment.

Liu Chen was fully honest and did not hide anything from Lin Yuan.

If Lin Yuan had chosen to punish them because of this matter, Liu Chen would have accepted this punishment alongside Liu Yao. After all, every faction's leader had different perspectives and approaches.

Lin Yuan was momentarily silent before he said to Liu Chen and Liu Yao, "I understand why you did what you did. I am now Treasure City's sponsor. Now that you've joined me, why don't you help me to protect Treasure City?"

Liu Yao let out a sigh of relief before she hurriedly asked, "Lord, should Brother Chen and I go and eliminate the star pirates immediately? Or should we ensure that they don't damage Treasure City?"

There were many ways to protect Treasure City. Liu Yao was very detailed and always made sure to clarify the situation before she did anything.

Liu Yao felt that it would be too ostentatious if she and Liu Chen eliminated the star pirates outright.

Regardless of the situation or the power that one possessed, standing out too much did not align with the way of survival in the Sky Beyond the Clouds!

"You don't have to get rid of the star pirates. All you need to do is ensure that they don't cause widespread destruction in the city. Even if anyone from the Star Pirate Alliance entered Treasure City, there will be people to handle them."

Li Feng had told Lin Yuan about what was happening in Treasure City. He saw Lin Yuan as one of his own.

As the City Lord of Treasure City, Li Feng was the true controller of Treasure City. He knew that Treasure City only managed to survive because of Lin Yuan's help.

The factions in Treasure City never submitted to Li Feng's control.

When Li Feng tried revitalizing Treasure City in the future, the factions would definitely use this incident to undermine Li Feng's strength and increase their influence in Treasure City. This would greatly lower the speed of Treasure City's development and cause Li Feng's plan for Treasure City to fail.

Li Feng felt that he should use this opportunity to remove these problems.

Zhan Lu had already told Lin Yuan all about these factions and this situation.

Zhan Lu saw these factions as parasites. Many of the chambers of commerce established by the various species were under the thumb of these factions. If these factions did not exist, Treasure City would be far more prosperous than it currently was.

Moreover, Zhan Lu had been suspecting that the factions had been colluding and were aspiring to take over Treasure City!

During the recent crisis, the experts from this city had not shown Li Feng the appropriate respect as the City Lord of Treasure City. They had placed all the pressure on Li Feng and abandoned Treasure City in its time of need.

One of the factions had even fled before Treasure City's combat power was affected and diminished. Before they left, they even made arrangements so that they could regain all the resources after they returned.

From Li Feng's perspective, there was no need to keep such factions around.

As Treasure City's sponsor, Lin Yuan definitely preferred Treasure City to develop in the best and most positive direction.

Treasure City was currently the best channel for Lin Yuan to obtain resources.

After asking for Lin Yuan's stance, Liu Chen and Liu Yao immediately left to work with Treasure City's City Guards.

Liu Yao and Liu Chen were well aware of what the star pirates were capable of.

After thinking for a moment, they went to see Li Feng and began making arrangements with him.

Li Feng assumed that Liu Yao and Liu Chen were Lin Yuan's hidden subordinates. They did not know that they were also the ones behind the Star Pirate Alliance.

Lin Yuan decided to spirit lock the feys he had picked out. Fan Lou used the crystal that Winter had given him to send an urgent message to Lin Yuan.

Using the crystal to send a message came at a high cost. Fan Lou would not bother Lin Yuan unless it was absolutely necessary.
