Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)
chapter-2992

When the two parties saw that Lin Yuan's group of three had not relented, their expressions changed slightly. However, they did not flare up immediately and continued to say persuasively, "Most of the forces here are in groups. Let's form groups first. This way, even if we want to join a larger group, we can have more say!"

Lin Yuan did not give the two groups any respect and said firmly, "You've indeed entered Coiling Dragon Mountain, but you're moving around the periphery and roping in people everywhere. The reason for this situation is that you're not strong enough to compete in the core circle. This is the only way for you.

"How could a truly powerful power be willing to split the resources here evenly? A group that can take in your group is still at the bottom here on Coiling Dragon Mountain. Lions will not associate with worms! Now, I'll give you a chance. Do you choose to submit or be eliminated?"

Lin Yuan's words made the hearts of the 100 people in the two groups tighten simultaneously. They did not understand the situation of Lin Yuan and the other two.

Although Autumn and Winter still had the aura of someone who had just reached the Holy Spirit level, Lin Yuan's expression was too natural and confident when he said that. He did not seem to be joking at all.

There were only two outcomes to these words. The first was that their two groups chose to submit, and the second was to resist fiercely.

Once they made a move, they would immediately know how deep and shallow Lin Yuan and the other two were.

Both sides were stunned by Lin Yuan. They looked at each other and did not speak immediately.

Lin Yuan said in a low voice, "I don't have time to waste with you. If you still can't make a decision in three seconds, you'll be eliminated!"

Just as Lin Yuan finished speaking, a man in yellowish-brown clothes hurriedly said, "The people of Egret Cliff are willing to submit and follow the three of you in your exploration!"

Egret Cliff, where Lan Lu was located, was close to Coiling Dragon Mountain. It was the first faction to discover the phenomenon.

However, Lan Lu was extremely timid by nature and had been hesitating about whether to go to Coiling Dragon Mountain.

In the end, greed defeated his fear. However, after arriving, Lan Lu realized that the situation was extremely complicated. It was not something the group he led could deal with!

However, once they entered, they could not leave halfway. Apart from the factions that could not enter Coiling Dragon Mountain because they were not strong enough, there were also some powerful factions hidden.

These factions did not want to enter Coiling Dragon Mountain to compete with so many factions. Instead, they were prepared to plunder the factions that had left the mountain.

If Lan Lu left with his group now, he would immediately become the target of those people.

There was no way for Lan Lu to leave, so he had no choice but to group up with other forces to find someone to rely on.

Unlike Lan Lu's weakness, the other faction's leader was an opportunist through and through. He had been looking for an opportunity for the species to transform. Therefore, that leader did not choose to submit because of Lin Yuan's words.

Three seconds later, a chill arose behind Lin Yuan, and the other faction beside him was instantly frozen into statues.

Lan Lu did not even notice how all of this happened.

However, during this process, Winter's body had always had the aura of someone who had just entered the Holy Spirit level. It had not changed at all.

No matter how stupid Lan Lu was, he knew Winter had hidden his aura. Lan Lu shrank his neck in fear while secretly rejoicing at his choice. If he had not made such a choice, he and his group would have all become statues.

Lan Lu knew very well that when he chose to submit, many of his subordinates would think he was too timid.

Once such thoughts appeared, it would not be beneficial to his subsequent management of the group.

But now, Lin Yuan had used his strength to prove that Lan Lu had made the right choice. He had saved his subordinates.

After a brief moment of shock, he hurriedly bent down before Lin Yuan.

"Lord, your strength is indeed powerful. No wonder you dared to bring only two subordinates to Coiling Dragon Mountain! My name is Lan Lu, and I am the leader of Egret Cliff. From now on, I will follow all of your orders! If there's anything you need me to do, just tell me!"

Lin Yuan looked at Lan Lu and thought, This fellow named Lan Lu knows when to yield and when to stand tall. It's very convenient to use such a person.

Lin Yuan did not ask him to pledge allegiance to him like when he had subdued his subordinates. Instead, he said directly, "Bring the people from Egret Cliff to help me find the locations of the other factions. When you find them, inform me through this piece of paper. We'll rush over immediately!

"If you do well, I'll give you a good fortune. If you don't do well, it means that you're an incompetent person. Incompetent people don't deserve to work under me."

Lin Yuan handed a Thoughts Letter Paper to him.

The Thoughts Letter Paper could not transmit messages from afar but was enough to cover the entire Coiling Dragon Mountain.

Lan Lu bent down and reached out to catch the Thoughts Letter Paper. To do such a thing made him feel a little uneasy.

However, Lan Lu felt that any faction would not directly attack his group when they discovered him.

After all, those factions did not know his strength.

Lan Lu was confident he could inform them!

"Lord, I will do my best to complete your tasks! However, our strength is limited. If we encounter those unreasonable lunatics who attack us directly, I'm afraid I won't be able to bring the news to you, Lord! Lord, do you think you should arrange a subordinate for us?"

He tried his best to speak slowly, afraid Lin Yuan would be displeased by his words.

Once Lin Yuan's emotions changed, Lan Lu would immediately shut up.

Lin Yuan knew that his request was to ensure his safety, but he could not hand over Winter and Autumn to him.

"If I give them to you, what value will you have? What you have to do now is to prove your value to me. Even if you encounter those powerful species, as long as you're smart and send the news as soon as possible, I can guarantee your safety!"

When Lan Lu heard that, he knew he could only rely on himself for the rest. Lan Lu did not want to die at all!

The scene of how the young man in front of him had dealt with the other group was still vivid in his mind. If he did not handle this matter well, he would likely end up in the same situation!

Apart from preventing him from encountering those crazy groups, he had to ensure he could meet Lin Yuan's requirements.

"Young Master, the bloodline of this species from Egret Cliff is very low and doesn't have much potential. Do you think it's necessary to recruit these people?"

Lin Yuan replied seriously, "This trip to Coiling Dragon Mountain has wasted a lot of our time. I plan to use this trip to choose more species and move them to North of the Lonely River to enrich the environment there!

"To these species, it's more important to be smart and to know what to do than to possess strength. I can also use this opportunity to screen these species."

Lin Yuan would clear out many species on this trip to Coiling Dragon Mountain, but it did not mean that the defeated species were not smart and did not have potential.

However, those species were rebellious and were unwilling to submit.

If he forcefully brought these species to North of the Lonely River, they would inevitably cause trouble. What Lin Yuan needed were obedient and intelligent species.

"Winter, help me control these factions in Coiling Dragon Mountain from another direction. Autumn can just follow me alone. Let's try to control all the factions here before the restriction disappears. I don't want anything to happen when the restriction disappears!"

Lin Yuan had just finished making arrangements for Winter when the Thoughts Letter Paper received a message from Lan Lu.

Lan Lu had already found several species and factions. During the process of contacting them, Lan Lu did not encounter any danger.

However, those factions asked Lan Lu to join them.

Due to the lack of strength of Lan Lu's group, those factions requested Lan Lu and the others to join as servants.

He knew that joining such a group could help him come into contact with more species, but he was still Lin Yuan's servant. He was afraid that Lin Yuan would be displeased if he joined other factions and groups as a servant, so he had reported to him in advance.

Lin Yuan's reply was very simple. "You don't have to think so much. It's fine as long as you can help me gather more factions. If the number of factions around you reaches a certain level, you can call us over directly!"

Lin Yuan's response brought a wave of relief over him, alleviating his concerns about joining the group.

This coalition comprised seven factions, boasting considerable size and influence. Despite this, Lan Lu hesitated to summon Lin Yuan immediately.

He had two reasons for the delay. Firstly, he aimed to impress Lin Yuan by gathering additional factions, showcasing his organizational prowess.

Distinguishing between ability and brute strength, Lan Yuan knew Lin Yuan valued the former more. Lin Yuan's discernment had earned him his position; he wasn't one to merely prioritize physical might.

Secondly, Lan Lu harbored a nagging fear that Lin Yuan might develop an interest in these factions, leading him to abandon Lan Lu. This would leave Lan Lu vulnerable, with no allies to turn to, casting a shadow over his future prospects.

Trapped under someone's influence, Lan Lu couldn't help but contemplate his fate.

However, Lan Lu soon shelved these concerns as a confrontation erupted between his newly joined group and another group, escalating into a skirmish.

Ensuring his own safety became a pressing concern for Lan Lu. The clash threatened to derail his plans, leaving him vulnerable to unforeseen consequences.

Forced to act, Lan Lu resorted to reaching out to Lin Yuan using the Thoughts Letter Paper.

Moments later, Autumn materialized alongside Lin Yuan in front of Lan Lu, stunning everyone. Their sudden appearance defied comprehension.

Lin Yuan remained silent, fixing his gaze upon Lan Lu.

Lan Lu immediately understood what Lin Yuan meant and could not help but have a strange feeling.

Lan Lu shouted, "Stop fighting and submit to my Lord immediately! Don't blame me for not giving you a chance. If you submit late, you'll only die!"

Lan Lu had an idea and imitated Lin Yuan's words, "I'll give you three seconds to think about it."

When he spoke, Lin Yuan gave Autumn a look, signaling him to release his aura.

Autumn's pressure suddenly enveloped the two groups of people who were about to fight.

Lan Lu directly shouted for the various factions in the two groups to consider for three seconds. These factions would definitely not be moved.

However, these forces were still unwilling to submit after sensing Autumn's strength. In that case, he would let Autumn get rid of these people and leave them as bait for the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen!

The aura released by Autumn did not target Lan Lu. He watched as the powerhouses far stronger than him bent over under the pressure of Autumn's aura and crawled in front of him.

Lan Lu only felt a sense of comfort from the inside out. Lan Lu had never experienced such a feeling before!

Autumn's aura was filled with killing intent, unlike Winter's.

More than half of the faction leaders present chose to submit in these three seconds.

In the cruel Sky Beyond the Clouds, it was very common for low-level factions to submit to factions stronger than them.

Additionally, from the strength Autumn displayed, he was more powerful than the experts present had imagined!

If one wanted to live in front of such an expert, would they be qualified to say no?

The faction leaders who did not immediately choose to submit after three seconds did not really want to submit. They just wanted to find an opportunity to negotiate with Lin Yuan.

These species that wanted to negotiate were immediately eliminated by Autumn.

Looking at the 11 factions kneeling before him, Lin Yuan took out 11 Thoughts Letter Paper.

He made arrangements for the leaders like how he had arranged for Lan Lu. He told these factions to spread out and search for groups like Lan Lu was doing before sending the news to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan brought Autumn to subdue these factions.

…

At present, 12 factions were serving Lin Yuan, and there would be more and more in the future.

Coupled with the fact that Winter was also taking action, Lin Yuan would soon be able to control all the factions in Coiling Dragon Mountain!

Just as Lin Yuan was subduing these factions, he received a voice transmission from Winter, "Young Master, there are some powerful forces in Coiled Dragon Mountain. I can't believe there's a Grade 5 Creator hiding among the forces I'm facing.

"This Grade 5 Creator is not only unwilling to submit because of his position in Honor Absent Palace but also wants to go against me. A Grade 5 Creator is very important, especially now that Sky City is developing. Young Master, do you want to meet this Grade 5 Creator?"
