Chapter 2774 You Don't Have the Right to Work with Us!
When Autumn sensed Lin Yuan's aura, he immediately came to greet him.
Autumn's expression changed slightly when he saw Spring next to Lin Yuan. He could tell that Lin Yuan favored Spring the most out of his four followers. This might be because Spring had spent the most time with him.
Once Lin Yuan saw Spring as his closest and most trusted servant, his trust in her would only deepen.
This made Autumn rather jealous of Spring. However, jealousy was the end of it.
Before Lord Saint reincarnated, Spring had also spent the most time by his side.
"Lord Saint, Winter is watching the people from the East Universe. Do you want to go and see them together, or should I bring them to you one by one?"
Lin Yuan was silent for a moment. "Take me to see the invaders from the Sky Beyond the Clouds. I will select a few of them who I will then see individually."
Meeting with the invaders individually would allow him to better size them up and take control of them. It would also be more convenient for him to glean the information he wanted.
When there were many people in the same environment, it would be inconvenient to discuss some things.
But before he spoke to them individually, he needed to discern which one of them was deserving of a private conversation with him.
Lin Yuan did not want to waste too much time on these minor lackeys.
Although all of them were from the Sky Beyond the Clouds and came from different species, Lin Yuan was not interested in learning about the inner workings of their species.
Winter had proved his power by taking control of these experts.
With Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter by his side, Lin Yuan did not have to watch where he stepped when he headed to the Sky Beyond the Clouds and began his development. Thanks to the protection of such martial force, Lin Yuan would quickly accumulate might in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Autumn hurriedly began leading the way. He believed that these mere World Emperor/Intermediate Divine Kingdom experts did not deserve the honor of meeting with Lin Yuan.
On the other hand, Spring admired Lin Yuan's style of doing things. Although this was a reincarnation of Lord Saint, the soul of Lin Yuan's previous life had merged with his current one from the moment he stepped out of the Returning Saint Pool.
Spring was the first of the four to begin following Lord Saint.
But by the time she began following him, he was already the esteemed Saint. He was also the most mysterious of the six figures.
Hence, Spring had not had the opportunity to see how the Saint had risen to his prime in his youth.
But now, Spring was getting a glimpse of the Saint's youth in Lin Yuan.
Guided by Autumn, Lin Yuan soon arrived at the entrance of Winter's palace.
Winter was keeping the invaders prisoner in his palace.
The moment Lin Yuan stepped into Winter's palace, his gaze fell on the totem on the wall illustration behind the throne.
He was very familiar with the depictions on the totem.
At the center of the totem was a majestic figure with an enormous ring behind him. Lin Yuan had seen this ring in his subconscious when he awakened Morbius. The two were basically exact copies of each other.
Around this majestic figure's wrist and neck was the same Morbius ring as the one that Lin Yuan was currently wearing.
Every single fey around the figure matched the ones that Lin Yuan had contracted and was nurturing.
It was no wonder that Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter were certain at first glance that he was the Saint.
Autumn and Winter were just as respectful toward the totem behind the throne as they were toward Lin Yuan. The two of them kept their heads low and did not look directly at the totem on the wall.
Autumn pointed at the long corridor at the side and said, "Lord Saint, once you pass through this corridor you will be able to reach the remote hall where the East Universe's people are imprisoned!"
Lin Yuan walked over to the remote hall.
As the corridor leading to the remote hall was at the back of the main hall, Lin Yuan's shoulder brushed against the totem on the wall when he passed.
At that moment, it was as though the totem connected with his birth horoscope, and it lit up.
The previously faceless majestic figure took on Lin Yuan's features.
In the past, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter bowed down and prayed whenever the totem changed in any way.
Now that they had found Lin Yuan and were following him, the totem on the wall was no longer as important as it used to be.
In Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter's eyes, the totem on the wall represented their longing and reverence for Lin Yuan. But now, their longing and reverence had been transferred to the living Lin Yuan.
When Winter spotted Lin Yuan, he hurriedly bowed before pointing at the 100-odd figures on the ground. The snow covering the figures vanished.
The figures were devoid of life.
"Lord, this is the exact scene as I encountered it on the Abyss Beast's back. These people were all killed by this Alluring Fox."
Winter shifted his gaze onto Kong Huan while she spoke.
His glare frightened Kong Huan to the point she reverted to her original form.
A slender and lithe fox with pink and faintly purplish-red fur was now crouched on the ground, its expression terror-stricken. Its ten long tails waved around restlessly.
It had an inexplicable charm.
Normally, such charm had a large impact on birth-horoscope experts like Lin Yuan.
However, Spring had blanketed Lin Yuan in her aura so Kong Huan would not have the opportunity to affect Lin Yuan.
In truth, Kong Huan was already petrified to the point she no longer had any courage.
Winter's power exceeded Kong Huan's imagination, and she regretted coming to this Class 2 world. If she had not stubbornly made the trip to this Class 2 world, she would have fallen into such peril.
She could have remained in Honor Absent Palace as a member of the Honor Absent Parliament, basking in the worship of millions of lifeforms.
Yet, she was now captured by these people, and it was uncertain if she would be able to hold onto her life.
It was clear that this young man was the one who called the shots in the group.
When she sensed Spring and Winter's hostile auras directed at her, Kong Huan did her best to retract her aura.
From the way that Spring and Winter were protecting his young man, Kong Huan could be certain that this young man was not strong.
While she was trying to come up with a way to plead for mercy, the young man's pleasant voice sounded. "I heard that you are a member of the Alluring Foxes. The two flirty fellows next to you should also be Alluring Foxes, right?"
Faced with Lin Yuan's question, Kong Huan hurriedly nodded before saying in a respectful tone, "My Lord, they are indeed Alluring Foxes. My Lord, from the moment I saw you, I felt a desire to submit to you. If there is anything that you want to know, feel free to ask me. I won't hold anything back!"
Lin Yuan was slightly dumbfounded when he heard what Kong Huan said. Her way of currying favor was much too crude.
She had the desire to submit to him from the moment she saw him?
If Spring and Winter were not sufficiently strong, he would already have been killed by this Alluring Fox.
However, this strongest member of the Alluring Foxes was clever enough to comprehend his objective immediately.
Lin Yuan always liked clever people.
Kong Huan was trying to find a way to save her life. She had no idea her attitude had already received a positive review from Lin Yuan.
Kong Huan was not the only one present who was alive.
Lin Yuan asked everyone present, "There should be a leader among you. Step forward so I can take a look at you!"
Lin Yuan was certain that the leader was not Kong Huan, who was the strongest in the group. If she was the leader, there would be no need for her to unleash a massacre on the Abyss Beast's back.
While Lin Yuan was asking his questions, he could sense that Kong Huan was only interested in protecting the two Alluring Foxes.
He intended to give the leader of the group an opportunity.
If the leader of the group had the courage to step forward, it would show that they were responsible despite not being the strongest in the group.
If the person did not step forward after his call, Lin Yuan would not make use of this leader in his future plans.
Once Lin Yuan spoke but before the others could shift their gazes toward Fan Lou, the latter raised a shaky hand and said solemnly, "My Lord, I am the guide sent by Honor Absent Palace. I am under orders to search your world! I am also the leader of a Boundary Patrol Team. This Class 2 world is under my jurisdiction."
At this point, Fan Lou paused before saying seriously, "My Lord, do you intend on remaining in this Class 2 world? I am sure the appearance of the faeries and World Emperor/Divine Kingdom feys are all linked to you. I am willing to submit to you. Once I submit to you, I will help you to cover up everything that happens in this Class 2 world. I won't reveal anything to anyone!"
Lin Yuan looked at Fan Lou with surprise.
Fan Lou had likely guessed from Spring and Winter's strength they were not natives of this world. Rather, they had just come to this Class 2 world early on.
Fan Lou had introduced his background, implying it would be able to bring him convenience.
It could be said that Fan Lou was much smarter than Kong Huan when it came to fighting for his life in a dangerous situation. He could also accurately guess what Lin Yuan wanted.
It was clear that Kong Huan's massacre had nothing to do with Fan Lou.
When Lin Yuan controlled his subordinates, he liked to create an environment where they could compete on equal footing. If any of them made a mistake, another would report the mistake to Lin Yuan as a means of dealing a blow to their rival.
Lin Yuan looked around at the rest who were present and saw that they all looked timid.
Once Fan Lou stepped forward, none of them tried to engage him in conversation, not even the Bloodian.
As Lin Yuan was about to instruct Autumn to bring Fan Lou and Kong Huan to see them later, a robust man beside Fan Lou interjected, "My Lord, I am a Chaos Wind Demon Wolf. The guide is part of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves' dependent species and is under our control.
"If you need to speak with Fan Lou about anything, you can speak with me first! The Chaos Wind Demon Wolves are very willing to work with you!"
Feng Huan was Feng Xuan's relative and represented the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves in this operation because he was one of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves' strongest World Emperor/intermediate Divine Kingdom warriors.
Furthermore, he was there on behalf of Feng Xuan to watch Fan Lou.
Feng Qing trusted Fan Lou greatly and did not think he could cause any significant problems.
However, Feng Xuan did not trust Fan Lou. If Fan Lou could betray Kong Huan, he could do the same to Feng Qing. Moreover, there was an abundance of resources in this Class 2 world, and Fan Lou had ample opportunities to embezzle the resources.
At the end of the day, Fan Lou was not a Chaos Wind Demon Wolf and would not put their profits first.
Feng Xuan would like nothing better than for Fan Lou to make a mistake. Once he made an error, Feng Qing would not be able to keep him by his side. At that point, Feng Xuan would have one less competitor with whom he had to fight for Feng Qing's attention.
Feng Xuan knew that Feng Qing cared a lot about fortune and luck. If Feng Qing encountered any issues while Fan Lou was by his side, Feng Qing would attribute the problem to Fan Lou.
Then, Feng Xuan would be able to topple Fan Lou.
Fan Lou did not speak after Feng Huan spoke because the latter had spoken the truth. He was indeed a member of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves now. Everyone there could attest to that. There was no point in him trying to rebuke what Feng Huan said. Rather, it would cause him to come across as insincere.
Fan Lou was very worried that Lin Yuan would choose to speak with Feng Huan instead.
It was likely that only the few who had the right to speak with this young man would be able to keep their lives.
If the young man chose Feng Huan, Fan Lou would lose his chance at survival.
There were no issues with what Feng Huan had said, but Kong Huan could not help but purse her lips when she heard those words.
The Chaos Wind Demon Wolves were truly wildly arrogant.
It was unlikely that even the first descendant of the Moon-Worshiping Wolves would have the right to speak with this young man. What right did the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves have to work with this young man?
The Chaos Wind Demon Wolves had backing from the Bloodians. Yet, the young man seemed unfazed by any potential trouble from the Bloodians, as he didn't even bother to give the Bloodian present a lingering glance. If he cared about what the Bloodians had to say, he would have let them speak.
If one did not know one's place at such a time, one would not deserve to live!
Lin Yuan did not continue the conversation with Feng Huan. Rather, he turned to look at Kong Huan. "Since this member of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves has presented his identity, why don't you tell me about them? I would also like to know how the Alluring Foxes see the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves!"
