Chapter 2876 Autumn and Tree!
Chapter 2874 Autumn and Tree!
Nevertheless, the Spinning Wings White Falcons had the Crimson Heaven Falcons backing them. Even if the King Blood Jackals didn't fear the Spinning Wings White Falcons, they would definitely fear the Crimson Heaven Falcons!
White Howl's actions showed fearlessness.
These male King Blood Jackals weren't particularly strong. Even if he were to eliminate all of those 24 male King Blood Jackals, it wouldn't amount to much. White Howl was certain that the King Blood Jackals would not dare to stand up for them.
Kani had yet to show her face, and White Howl believed that Kani could not possibly be in seclusion.
The King Blood Jackals had always harbored fear toward the Spinning Wings White Falcons. In the early years, upon their arrival to this wasteland, they had a conflict with the Spinning Wings White Falcons.
During that time, the King Blood Jackals found themselves at a disadvantage in their conflict. Even Kani sustained injuries inflicted by their Holy Spirit experts.
Had the Crimson Heaven Falcons not deliberately stopped their conflict, the Spinning Wings White Falcons could have completely wiped out the King Blood Jackals, given that the latter had not had any Holy Spirit experts among them.
White Howl wasn't certain whether the Crimson Heaven Falcons were restricting the development of the Spinning Wings White Falcons due to the fear that the expansion of their territory would cause them to harbor ulterior motives or if it was because they had recognized Kani's potential from the beginning and wanted to recruit the entire species once her strength had grown.
No matter what the reason was, Kani must be afraid of the Spinning Wings White Falcons. It was very likely that Kani would not want to be involved with them.
What White Howl wanted to do was to force Kani out. He could not just admit that he failed to even catch a glimpse of Kani when he returned to report to their leader. In that case, his entire trip would have been in vain as the leader would not just accept such an excuse.
Killing the 24 male King Blood Jackals was just the beginning. If Kani continued to be so insensible, White Howl would not mind killing those two female King Blood Jackals. White Howl did not believe that Kani would continue to act like a coward by then!
Nai Wei and Ban Se were chosen by Kani to manage the territory. This immediately raised their status among the King Blood Jackals. Consequently, all other female King Blood Jackals found themselves one level below Nai Wei and Ban Se and were now unable to maintain a competitive relationship with them.
Naturally, Nai Wei and Ban Se were both competitors and collaborators. They had to work together to manage the King Blood Jackals.
Although Sky City had control over the King Blood Jackals, Nai Wei and Ban Se still had a lot of responsibilities that made them feel immense pressure. Nevertheless, Nai Wei and Ban Se couldn't delegate these tasks to other female King Blood Jackals in Kani's absence as it would be perceived as laziness.
If Nai Wei and Ban Se, who were also competitors themselves, discovered that their opponents were slacking off, they would definitely report it to Kani. Nai Wei and Ban Se were fully aware of this, so they basically chose to handle everything personally.
There was already a lot of work in the territory to begin with, and the envoys' arrival only added to Nai Wei and Ban Se's workload. This made Nai Wei and Ban Se extremely dissatisfied.
In particular, White Howl's attitude frequently humiliated Nai Wei and Ban Se.
White Howl had disrespected Kani several times, but Nai Wei and Ban Se did not have the ability to protect Kani's dignity as King Blood Jackals.
Now that the Moon Empress had made her decision, Nai Wei and Ban Se no longer had to fear the envoys. They were there to inform White Howl and his group to leave.
Nai Wei and Ban Se suspected that White Howl and his group might cause trouble, so they specially requested the Moon Empress to arrange for an expert capable of dealing with White Howl.
In the entire Sky City, only Summer and Autumn were deemed capable of dealing with White Howl.
Autumn took the initiative and requested to travel with Nai Wei and Ban Se. He was aware of what the envoys had done and was already dissatisfied with their actions. He needed an outlet to vent.
Actually, the reason Autumn wanted to vent was mainly that he had not been able to follow Lin Yuan outside to train like Spring and Winter. It made Autumn feel that Lin Yuan placed more importance on Spring and Winter than him.
Autumn's thoughts were more or less paranoid, and he was lacking the broad understanding of situations that Summer possessed. In Summer's opinion, Lin Yuan letting her stay in the territory to help guard Sky City was the highest level of trust in her.
Summer was very well aware of Autumn's stubbornness, so she chose not to participate in the series of actions against the Spinning Wings White and Crimson Heaven Falcons.
Nai Wei and Ban Se appeared exceptionally cold in front of the other King Blood Jackals, but they went to great lengths to please Autumn and curry favor with him whenever they were around him.
Autumn did not show any obvious liking or disliking toward their actions. In fact, he did not regard Nai Wei and Ban Se seriously at all. He simply regarded their flattery coldly and did not give any response.
It was still quite a distance away from the location where the envoys stayed. Autumn frowned slightly upon sensing an overwhelmingly strong smell of blood. From the scent of blood, he could tell that it emanated from the King Blood Jackals. The blood scent was remarkably fresh, indicating that the King Blood Jackals had just died not long ago. The only perpetrators who were capable of killing the King Blood Jackals were probably the Spinning Wings White Falcons.
Autumn seethed with anger. In his opinion, the King Blood Jackals were Lin Yuan's assets. For any member of the envoys to kill even one of them would constitute a violation of Lin Yuan's interests and an appropriation of his assets.
Autumn would never allow such an act to occur. If any individual or species were to commit such an act, they would definitely have to pay the price.
However, Autumn was not in a hurry to make a move. When he arrived at the scene, Nai Wei and Ban Se would naturally seek his help. By that time, it would not be too late for him to intervene.
Autumn could feel the disgust in Nai Wei and Ban Se's voices when they talked about the envoys. Soon, they also noticed the distinct scent of blood in the air. Their expressions turned cold as they subconsciously looked at Autumn.
Autumn said calmly, "No matter what happens later, you just need to tell me your decision, and I'll take action."
The manner in which White Howl had killed the 24 attendants was extremely cruel. It was so brutal that it sent shivers down one's spine. However, after doing all that, White Howl did not choose to clean up the scene, leaving it a total mess.
Upon witnessing the scene, Nai Wei and Ban Se were not filled with fear but rather felt a primal ferocity stirring within their blood. The two of them stared fiercely at all the members of the Spinning Wings White Falcons, including White Howl.
Ban Se was the first to speak coldly. "Even if you have any dissatisfaction with our King Blood Jackals, it's unjustifiable to treat our attendants in such a manner. If you had pointed out the problem with them, I would have definitely arranged for them to be replaced. Since you show utter disregard for the dignity of our King Blood Jackals, why bother coming here as an envoy?"
White Howl originally thought that his actions would have a deterrent effect, but he did not expect them to have the opposite effect. However, the deed had already been done. There's no room for backing down now.
Moreover, even if he admitted defeat, the two King Blood Jackals didn't seem inclined to let the matter slide. Since that was the case, he might as well kill them to force Kani out. With the Crimson Heaven Falcons as his backing, Kani would not dare to do anything to him.
Before White Howl could make a move, he saw the other silent female King Blood Jackal bow deeply to the handsome man beside her. "Lord Autumn, I hope you can help our King Blood Jackals get rid of these uninvited guests! The Spinning Wings White Falcons' envoys dare to commit such acts, which is a disrespect to Sky City!"
Autumn looked at Nai Wei with a half-smile as she was really straightforward. The envoys clearly were not aware of Sky City's existence. If they knew that the King Blood Jackals were controlled by a faction called Sky City, how could they stay here peacefully? They would probably have gone back to report it long ago!
Since Nai Wei requested his help, Autumn no longer had any worries. Autumn did not want the Moon Empress to think that he was the instigator behind the killing of the envoys right from the start, provoking a war between Sky City, the Spinning Wings White Falcons, and even the Crimson Heaven Falcons.
White Howl's expression turned solemn.
At first, White Howl could not sense Autumn's aura at all, so he did not take him seriously. Yet, the actions of the female King Blood Jackals affirmed that the man before him was immensely powerful. Either this man was very good at concealing his aura, or his strength surpassed that of the Divine Kingdom level. It was clear that he was not someone White Howl could contend with.
Autumn didn't give White Howl time to prepare. He gently raised his hand, and a golden and red leaf flew out from his fingertips. The leaf continued to split and reform, casting a sense of desolation to fill the world. As the leaves fluttered, the Spinning Wings White Falcons, including White Howl, were reduced to dust.
Only a small-bodied member of the Spinning Wings White Falcons remained, huddled and seated on the spot. Apart from fear, there was also a hint of solemn shock in his eyes.
The towering trees formed by the leaves were immensely shocking. The energy contained in the fruit seemed to be able to easily nurture holy spirits.
Since Autumn had taken charge of the conflict, it shifted from being a conflict between the King Blood Jackals and the Spinning Wings White Falcons to being a conflict between Sky City and the Spinning Wings White Falcons.
Autumn's voice was slow and emotionless. "You should have died. I spared your life to let you tell your leader not to let anyone in your species cross the border and trespass into the territory of the King Blood Jackals ever again!
"Furthermore, have your leader convey to the Crimson Heaven Falcons not to be arrogant and believe that no faction in North of the Lonely River can contend with them!"
After speaking, Autumn's figure vanished into the residence prepared for the envoys, where he reported back to the Moon Empress.
Autumn's measure may appear somewhat drastic, but he was not a radical individual. He had always been a sensible individual. He had made such a decision because he was fully aware of the Spinning Wings White and Crimson Heaven Falcons' strength.
…
Lin Yuan did not choose to be the main character in Li Feng's meeting. Li Feng repeatedly asked for Lin Yuan's opinion, but the latter only said that Li Feng could make the decision.
Firstly, Lin Yuan did not know much about the situation in Treasure City. Secondly, Lin Yuan could not guarantee that his arrangements would be correct. He did not want to cause unnecessary losses because of his arrangements. Lin Yuan believed Li Feng kept asking for his opinion because he was also reluctant to shoulder the responsibility.
Lin Yuan acknowledged Li Feng's exceptionally high EQ. However, when the situation required Li Feng to step up and take charge, he showed fear, which showed that his ability to handle this crisis was somewhat weak.
Treasure City, a city whose main function was trade, was experiencing continuous development. Its reputation was also steadily increasing. It seemed that Li Feng's talent lay in the development of the city.
Yin Ruo also noticed this and looked up at Lin Yuan countless times, hoping he would step forward and preside over the overall situation. However, Lin Yuan did not respond to Yin Ruo.
Jin Chen sat on the chair like a Buddha. He would not listen to Li Feng's orders because only Lin Yuan could command him.
Meanwhile, Zhan Lu was very cooperative with Li Feng.
Zhan Lu and Li Feng were in a situation where they were bound together for better or for worse.
As the meeting concluded, each faction was organized accordingly.
Li Feng was the last to leave the meeting room. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. This crisis had made him realize many problems.
Previously, in order to make Treasure City more prosperous, Li Feng could be said to have invested all his resources in the development of the chambers of commerce in Treasure City. There were nearly 5,000 chambers of commerce in Treasure City now, and the city had been opening up trade routes. Its prosperity made Li Feng extremely intoxicated.
However, this crisis made Li Feng discover the drawback, which was that Treasure City did not have the ability to deal with such a crisis. The strength he wielded as the City Lord was indeed a little weak in comparison to the entire Treasure City.
If he could successfully survive this crisis, Li Feng would use the profits of the Treasure City for the next few thousand years to build his own direct line of descent and strengthen his power.
By that time, if he were to encounter such a situation of star pirates surrounding the city again, he would be able to face it calmly and would not be in such a sorry state like now. As the City Lord, he no longer wanted to feel such humiliation.
Fortune Treasure Palace's development model gave Li Feng some inspiration. These special honor guests would often provide assistance to Fortune Treasure Palace. However, in reality, Fortune Treasure Palace only provided these special honor guests with some channels.
Li Feng believed that he could recruit some guardians for Treasure City and let it provide resources for them for free with the aim that when the city encountered danger, these guardians could extend a helping hand for protection.
Li Feng had a perfect candidate in his heart—Lin Yuan!
