Zhao Wei paused for a moment and continued. “If I wasn’t 100% sure, I wouldn’t have told you the information!”

When the purple dragon heard Zhao Wei’s words, it immediately became interested in Lin Yuan and looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

At the same time, he focused his attention on Autumn.

Autumn had been trying his best to hold back his aura, so he did not show any presence.

However, the purple dragon felt a sense of shock and horror because it could not sense any aura from Autumn’s body.

In a chaotic place like South Face City, how could a person with Grade 5 Creator resources bring a weak person with him? There was only one explanation for this situation and that was that this lifeform was stronger!

Thinking of this, the purple dragon immediately released its dragon aura to test the waters although it was very likely that releasing the dragon might cause the space created by his aura to become unstable.

The dragon might released by dragon-species creatures could not only intimidate other dragon-species lifeforms but it was also effective on non-dragon-species lifeforms. The dragon-species fey’s might was extremely destructive.

The truth was just as the purple-gold dragon had predicted. The aura he released did not affect the child’s guard. Facing his dragon might, this guard acted as if nothing had happened.

This made the purple dragon realize that he had been tricked by Zhao Wei. Rather than saying that the young man in front of him was his prey, it would be more accurate to say that he was the prey now!

The purple dragon looked at Zhao Wei angrily and spoke to Lin Yuan as respectfully as possible. “My servant has failed to recognize how formidable you truly are. He didn’t recognize the two of you as important figures. I will definitely teach him a lesson. I hope the two of you can forgive me!”

Lin Yuan said with a playful tone, “Forgive? How? This subordinate of yours offered us to you as captives. He wants you to control me and obtain the Creator resources in my hands. You’ve already treated me as prey, yet you still want me to forgive you. How can there be such a good thing in this world?

“If I’m not wrong, you should be from the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley, right? I’ve always heard that the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley, which is made up of dragon-species feys, is greedy. Now that I’ve seen it, it really lives up to its reputation!”

Lin Yuan’s words let the dragon know that this matter would not end peacefully.

“That’s right, I’m indeed from the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley. You’re not mistaken. I’m only an elder in the Myraid Dragon Immortal Valley. There are many other elders who are stronger than me. I’m willing to pay for today’s misunderstanding. Tell me, what compensation do you want?”

The moment the purple dragon could not sense Autumn’s aura, it admitted defeat and wanted to compensate.

In the eyes of the purple dragon, as long he was willing to compensate, the other party would not make things difficult for him. If the two sides really fought in the current situation where the various factions were gathered in South Face City, the two sides would become the target of everyone.

Unexpectedly, the other party was unwilling to settle things peacefully. Instead, he said in an extremely serious tone, “Why? You wanted to control me back then. But now that I’m here, you want to settle things peacefully? How can there be such a good thing? If I had been willing to give you some resources when you decided to control me, would you have accepted?” The purple dragon was enraged.

“What else do you want? Are we going to fight? Even if I’m not your guard’s match, he can forget about taking advantage of me!”

Autumn had initially wanted to watch the show, expecting Lin Yuan would call on him to act later. However, the purple dragon’s words seemed condescending. What did it mean by suggesting he couldn’t gain an advantage in a fight? With the purple dragon’s strength, was there really anything it couldn’t overcome? How ridiculous!

Autumn would not let the purple dragon continue. If Lin Yuan believed the dragon’s words and looked down on him, it would be unjust!

Yet, when he attacked, he had to ensure his aura remained concealed.

Autumn summoned thousands of fallen leaves at once. This was the first time he had called forth so many since he began following Lin Yuan.

These leaves did not all target the purple dragon directly. Only a few dozen aimed at the dragon. Most of the leaves enhanced the special space created by the dragon’s aura, fortifying it.

The few dozen leaves that attached to the dragon’s body emitted a bleak energy that completely stagnated the dragon’s energy flow.

Lin Yuan smiled at the dragon and said, “It seems my guard is much stronger than you. Now, you have two choices: submit to me and become my spy in the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley, or die here as the price for trying to control me.

“I’ve said all I need to say. You have five minutes to decide whether you want to live or die. I’ll only give you one chance to think it over. I hope you’ll cherish your hard-won life.”

Lin Yuan began the countdown without another word.

It was a tumultuous time, and Lin Yuan did not want to complicate matters.

Otherwise, he would have been willing to give the purple dragon more time to choose.

As the core elder of the seven main lineages of the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley, Long Jie had always been the one to decide others’ fates. This was the first time someone had forced him to decide his own.

If Lin Yuan continued to threaten him, Long Jie would know what to do.

But in the current situation, Long Jie was powerless.

He would soon have to make a choice.

Long Jie feared the young man in front of him would kill him the moment he refused.

Long Jie had always been arrogant. Even while controlling Zhao Wei, an elder of the Zhao family, he hadn’t revealed his name, allowing Zhao Wei to call him only “Lord Purple Dragon”.

But now, in front of Lin Yuan, Long Jie could no longer maintain his arrogance.

In those five minutes, Long Jie’s thoughts were extremely complicated. Lin Yuan’s demand meant betraying the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley, a task he was extremely reluctant to undertake. It would disgrace dragons across all universes.

As the five minutes approached their end, Long Jie reluctantly said, “During the competition for the top grade blessed land, I can facilitate your cooperation with the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley. However, they intend to explore this top grade blessed land, and even as an elder, I can’t stop them from exploring it.”

Lin Yuan didn’t even look at Long Jie and reminded him seriously, “You have 1 minute and 18 seconds left.

He said nothing further.

Long Jie was no fool. He understood that if he didn’t agree to the young man’s demand, he would surely be killed when time was up.

If he died in this isolated space, the outside world would be none the wiser. A single strike from Lin Yuan’s guard could prevent him from circulating his energy.

At thatmoment, he had completely lost his ability to resist.

The lifespan of dragons was extremely long. At nearly 200,000 years, Long Jie was still a youth in dragon terms. He did not want to die. Submission seemed the only option.

However, even in submission, Long Jie had his limits. He could not act against the interests of the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley. If his submission threatened their interests, he would rather die.

Long Jie did not know Lin Yuan’s name. When addressing him, Long Jie’s tone had changed.

“Lord, I understand that submission is the only way I can survive. However, as a member of the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley, I am unwilling to abandon it. I hope you understand my position. As long as my submission does not threaten the Valley’s interests, I will offer my loyalty to you!”

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, “You just mentioned the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley wants to fight for this top grade blessed land. I have similar plans. Competition between us is inevitable.

“If fighting for this land makes you feel like you’ve betrayed the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley, then die here!”

Although Lin Yuan spoke without revealing any aura, Long Jie’s heart pounded.

Despite his earlier declaration of loyalty to the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley, Long Jie hesitated under these dire circumstances.

Ultimately, it was fear of death that made him waver. However, he could not admit to betraying the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley.

Lin Yuan could tell what Long Jie was thinking and said, “The person you control told you that I have Grade 5 Creator resources. As long as you perform well in the future, I don’t mind using Grade 5 Creator resources to trade with the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley. As the middleman of the transaction, you are equivalent to creating value for the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley.” Lin Yuan’s words gave Long Jie a way out.

“In that case, Lord, I’m willing to submit to you. How should I pledge my loyalty?”

Lin Yuan did not take out the Lifespan Mouse for Long Jie to contract. In Lin Yuan’s eyes, Long Jie’s loyalty to him was still not a stable factor. Lin Yuan did not want the Lifespan Mouse’s existence to be leaked.

Lin Yuan said, “I only need to use my divine kingdom to control your holy spirit. There’s no need to use any other means. If I find out that you betrayed me, not only will I take away a holy spirit and turn you into a cripple, but I will also kill you. The Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley won’t have a good ending either.

“If you are obedient, not only will you be able to obtain benefits but the chances of the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley obtaining Creator resources will also be high. You’re a smart person. I don’t think a smart person like you will disappoint me!”

Long Jie’s heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He looked at Autumn with fear and did not doubt Lin Yuan’s words at all.

With Autumn’s strength, he indeed had such ability.

Soon, Long Jie’s three holy spirits were marked with Lin Yuan’s divine kingdom.

Lin Yuan continued to speak to Long Jie. “Now that you’ve become my subordinate, tell me about the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley’s plan! As long as you tell me the plan of the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley, I won’t force you to do anything that will harm the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley. The Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley and I will compete for this top grade blessed land with our own abilities.”

Lin Yuan’s words put Long Jie at ease, and he looked at Lin Yuan gratefully. During this process, Lin Yuan had prevented him from harming the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley. This was already the best outcome for him.

“Lord, actually, the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley has already set our sights on this top grade blessed land a long time ago. 1,500 years ago, the Myriad

Dragon Immortal Valley discovered something when we were invited by the Ancient Snake Gu Palace to South Face City.

‘It’s just that at that time, we and the Ancient Snake Gu Palace weren’t sure if a precious treasure was about to appear or if a blessed land was about to open.

“That was when I was sent to South Face City to investigate on behalf of the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley. I didn’t let these elders spread the news, so not many people know about the Zhao family’s situation.

“Lord, I hope you won’t leak the news EITHER. If word gets out, the other elders will definitely use this to suppress me. At that time, it will be disadvantageous to my successor!”

It was not Lin Yuan’s threat that made Long Jie decide to submit to Lin Yuan. Although Long Jie was afraid of Lin Yuan’s threat, he had been conflicted and had not made a decision. It was because Lin Yuan said that Long Jie could become the bridge between him and the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley in obtaining Creator resources that Long Jie was convinced.

Once Lin Yuan’s words came to play, his status in the Myraid Thousand Dragon Immortal Valley would definitely increase with the Creator resources he obtained from Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan looked at Long Jie playfully.

“What, are you telling me what to do? Whether I should leak the information of the Myriad Dragon Immortal Valley to the outside world or not, and how the situation develops is entirely up to me. Alright, you don’t have to tell me everything you know. Release your spiritual and soul power.”

Lin Yuan summoned Genius. When outsiders were present, Genius would appear in its human form.

Lin Yuan planned to let Genius use Connected Tails to find out what Long Jie knew. This way, it would be convenient and quick and he could ensure that Long Jie did not hide anything from him.

With Long Jie’s holy spirit under Lin Yuan’s control, Lin Yuan was not afraid that Long Jie’s sudden resistance would affect Genius when it probed Long Jie’s memories.

Genius looked 70% similar to Lin Yuan in human form and looked like Lin Yuan’s younger brother. However, Long Jie could tell at a glance that Genius and Lin Yuan, who looked extremely similar, were not from the same species.
