Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Wei Ke was a member of the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers’ Guardians. The Guardians were in charge of protecting all the businesses under the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers.
Ever since the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers discovered this blessed land on Camelback Mountain a month ago, they had considered it the most important industry and had been thinking about how to develop it.
It was true that blessed land was a huge treasure vault, but developing it also had its own challenges. When necessary, powerful martial force support was needed as the lifeforms bred in the blessed land usually had astonishing combat strength. The special species bred in these blessed lands were like special species specially born to protect the blessed land.
The Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers could deal with the species nurtured in this blessed land. However, they did not want to annihilate them as these species were invaluable.
Because his mother’s bloodline was not pure enough, Wei Ke was a descendant of the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers and their dependent species. Wei Ke only had 3/4 of the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tiger bloodline, which caused him to be ostracized by the Guardians. Otherwise, Wei Ke would not have been arranged to guard there.
The Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers came to Camelback Mountain and started a 10-day massacre. Almost all the lifeforms in Camelback Mountain were wiped out by them.
The people who came in must have come from outside and were not natives of Camelback Mountain. After idling for so long, Wei Ke finally found some enjoyment.
Wei Ke was not in a hurry to attack Lin Yuan. When he saw Yun Qingyang following behind Lin Yuan, his playful expression was tainted with killing intent. “Oh? We meet again. Previously, I kindly invited you to take a seat inside. Why did you run away with the star pirates? Where are the thousand-odd people in your star pirate group? Why did you only bring a few of them?”
Yun Qingyang, Fu Mi, and the others tried their best to restrain their auras beside Lin Yuan. They did not leak out their auras, and Winter also did the same. This made Wei Ke feel no pressure upon seeing Lin Yuan and his group. He merely thought they were all subordinates of Yun Qingyang, the leader of the star pirate group.
While Wei Ke might perceive it that way, Yun Qingyang would never dare to agree directly. He berated loudly, “What nonsense are you talking about? On the way here, I realized that only those lifeforms with no intelligence were left on Camelback Mountain. Where did those original species go?”
Wei Ke exuded a sudden, overpowering aura. “Where did they go? Naturally, they were all eliminated! Otherwise, how could we ensure the news of the blessed land remained undisclosed? Because of you, I faced punishment from my own kind. I should have contacted my companions back then and eradicated your star pirate group. I won’t let you off this time!”
No sooner had Wei Ke’s words echoed than the young man at the forefront of the group spoke coldly. “To safeguard the blessed land from falling into outsider hands, you annihilated thousands of species on Camelback Mountain.
Aren’t you afraid of the repercussions of such ruthlessness?!”
Upon hearing this, Wei Ke’s dominating presence surged even further.
“Repercussions? Who dares seek revenge against our Shadow Teeth Ferocious
Tigers in this domain? Our rule extends over these six mountains, including Camelback Mountain. Perhaps you should reflect on whether your past misdeeds have led you to encounter me today!”
With that, Wei Ke lunged toward Lin Yuan, a massive black tiger shadow looming behind him.
Winter, positioned behind Lin Yuan, refrained from immediate action. He knew Autumn had long desired to impress Lin Yuan, but the right opportunity had never presented itself. This was it.
In the past, Winter wouldn’t have afforded Autumn such deference. However, considering Spring and Summer had been left in Sky City territory while he accompanied Lin Yuan, and Autumn had been dispatched elsewhere, Winter granted Autumn this chance to shine to dispel any lingering doubts.
Before Wei Ke could approach within 100 meters of Lin Yuan, Autumn struck preemptively. Three fallen leaves embedded themselves in Wei Ke’s body, not only immobilizing him and stifling his energy but also hindering his ability to send messages.
After subduing Wei Ke, Autumn asked Lin Yuan, “Young Master, the strength of the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers is quite formidable. In terms of bloodline, it is stronger than that of the King Blood Jackals. Do you have any plans to recruit the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers?”
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and did not make a decision immediately. In terms of bloodline and strength, the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers had indeed reached the standard to be taken in as subordinates. However, they were only suitable to survive in the forest and required a huge territory. North of the Lonely River’s environment was not suitable for the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers.
As for the fact that the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers had annihilated thousands of species on Camelback Mountain, Lin Yuan was indeed discontented. However, any other powerful species would most likely make a similar choice to keep the blessed land in their hands and prevent the news from leaking. The Bloodians were far more ruthless than the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers.
“Should we recruit the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers and explore the blessed land first? Autumn, help me get some information about the blessed land from him first. Once we have gathered enough information, I’ll leave it to you to take control of the other Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers. Gather all the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers and watch over them!”
The fact that Lin Yuan had taken the initiative to assign a mission to him made Autumn very happy. It made him feel valued by Lin Yuan. Autumn especially liked the feeling of being valued by Lin Yuan.
“Young Master, give me a few minutes. I’ll definitely make him spit out all the information he knows. My ability is very suitable for interrogation!”
With that, Autumn walked up to Wei Ke and did not ask for information directly. Instead of directly questioning Wei Ke, Autumn decided to exert some pressure on him to compel him to voluntarily reveal everything he knew.
Wei Ke had already heard what Lin Yuan had said earlier and understood his purpose for coming.
With a wave of Autumn’s hand, more than ten leaves that were different from the fallen leaves from before landed on Wei Ke’s body. These ten leaves did not embed themselves into his body like the previous leaves but entered his body instead. As blood flowed in Wei Ke’s body, the leaves occasionally released a special energy, stimulating his body.
At that moment, Wei Ke, whose movements and speech were sealed, was enduring the torture inflicted by Autumn. In less than two minutes, the way Wei Ke looked at Autumn had completely changed. He looked at Autumn with a pleading expression and fear that came from his soul.
Upon seeing this, Autumn did not stop. Instead, it took another two minutes before he released the restriction on Wei Ke.
Autumn told the exhausted Wei Ke, “I’ll give you five minutes to tell me everything you know. If I find out you’re hiding something, I’ll let you experience what you just felt for 100,000 years!”
In Wei Ke’s eyes, Autumn was a demon. He harbored no doubts that Autumn would truly subject him to such treatment. Wei Ke did not want to experience the feeling again for even a second, even if it meant betraying the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers by revealing the situation of the blessed land.
Wei Ke asked anxiously, “Lord, I will definitely tell you everything I know. But where should I start? Should we talk about the internal situation of our Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers first, or should we only talk about the situation of this blessed land?!”
Although Wei Ke was not pure-blooded, he had a high status among the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers because of his strength. While it was not a lucrative job to guard the door here, it was an important job.
Wei Ke knew a lot of things. However, he feared that if he did not start well, Autumn would think that he was being long-winded and would have opinions about him again and subject him to the torture he had just experienced.
Autumn turned to look at Lin Yuan with an extremely respectful expression. It was obvious that he was waiting for Lin Yuan to take the lead on this idea.
Lin Yuan was not interested in the internal situation of the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers. “Just tell me about this blessed land.”
Upon hearing this, Wei Ke couldn’t help but feel bitter. While he was well-acquainted with the internal affairs of the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers, his knowledge of the blessed land was limited.
Stationed there from the outset for surveillance, he gleaned what he could about it during shifts from a few friends. Though usually reliable, he doubted the accuracy of their accounts about the blessed land.
Wei Ke feared misspeaking, especially in front of Autumn, and the potential repercussions it might bring.
The pursuit of the blessed land by these individuals weighed heavily on Wei Ke, surpassing even the pressure from the Elders of his species. The person who subjected himself to such torment with a mere few leaves was likely stronger than the Elders themselves. It seemed inevitable that the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers would struggle to defend the blessed land.
“Lord, I’m a member of the Guardians guarding this place. I don’t know much. However, I promise to tell you everything I know!”
Lin Yuan did not want to make things difficult for Wei Ke. A guard was bound not to know much about the situation. Lin Yuan only needed to understand the situation in the blessed land.
In a while, Lin Yuan would capture the higher-ranking Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers to understand the situation. Now, he wanted to ask Wei Ke first so that Lin Yuan could confirm the authenticity of the information.
“Just tell me what you know. Your species has almost wiped out all the lifeforms on Camelback Mountain. If I find out that your information is fake, not only will I attack you, but I will also destroy your entire species. Only by being obedient will you have a chance to live!”
Lin Yuan’s words made Wei Ke shiver. He did not doubt Lin Yuan’s words at all. This was how the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers treated the other species previously. Only those who were obedient could survive. Those who were disobedient were directly killed by the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers.
“Lord, the blessed land has been verified by the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tiger Elders. It should meet the pinnacle low-grade standard and is almost at mid-grade.
“Originally, we had no intention of exploring this blessed land here. However, due to its high level, our Palm of Blessed Land can’t absorb it. Otherwise, this blessed land would most likely not be here anymore.
“This is because this blessed land is only a step away from mid-grade. Almost all the special feys nurtured inside have reached the Divine Kingdom level and are extremely resistant. We have the intention to take in the special feys produced by these blessed lands. Otherwise, they would likely have been fully exploited by now!”
Wei Ke was extremely angry when he said this. If the Elders did not have any differences because of the distribution of benefits and completed the exploration of the blessed land earlier, he would not have to continue guarding here for more than a month. Naturally, he would not have to suffer the pain just now.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan grasped the situation of the blessed land.
According to Wei Ke, the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers had yet to develop it. Given the rarity of blessed lands, any species acquiring one would typically exercise extreme caution in its development.
The value of such a land would significantly diminish if its unique features were forcibly eradicated. A low-grade blessed land was already a rare find. Lin Yuan marveled at his luck in stumbling upon a pinnacle low-grade blessed land!
With Yi He’s Palm of Blessed Land, Lin Yuan possessed the means to claim this pinnacle low-grade blessed land.
Wei Ke noted Lin Yuan’s lack of reaction after he finished speaking. He hoped Lin Yuan wasn’t displeased with the information, as it was all he knew.
“Lord, that’s all I know. I know where the Elders are. If you need me to, I can bring you to see them!”
Wei Ke said those words to save his life, but immediately after speaking, he regretted it deeply. Why was he saying all this for no reason? If he brought Lin Yuan and the others to look for the Elders, wouldn’t he become a traitor to the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers?
In his heart, Wei Ke hoped that Lin Yuan would ignore his words and not let him bring him to see the Elders. However, his hopes were dashed.
“Your suggestion is not bad. Bring me to see the Elder in charge of the development!”
After speaking to Wei Ke, Lin Yuan added, “Autumn, when we meet the Elder in charge later, Winter and I will ask this Elder for information. You will directly set off to control the entire species!
“After we understand the situation of the blessed land, we will control the special feys there. We can directly use the Palm of Blessed Land to carry the blessed land and leave Camelback Mountain.. We can decide what to do with the Shadow Teeth Ferocious Tigers before we leave!”
