2574 Taking Control of the Grotto Continent!
Lin Yuan had come to help Bei Xu take back control of the situation and did not intend to gain information from these people.

Moreover, he did not see a need to gain information about the Grotto Continent because it could not pose a threat to him.

By having the audacity to torture Bei Xu, they had delayed many matters that Lin Yuan needed to attend to. He had no intention of keeping them alive.

Since Lin Yuan had already instructed them, Dazzling Silver led the other emperor-class mermaids in clearing the scene. In an instant, almost everyone who had beaten Bei Xu and the rest were erased from existence!
From the moment Lin Yuan appeared, Bei Xu kept his eyes open as wide as he could so he could get a good look at his savior.

This was the first time that Bei Xu was seeing Lin Yuan’s true appearance.

When he saw that Lin Yuan was not in the best condition, Bei Xu staggered over and tried to help Lin Yuan to his feet.

However, Lin Yuan had already partially recovered and waved his hand at Bei Xu to gesture that he did not need help. He only needed a little rest.

This teleportation had truly put Lin Yuan through the wringer.

Bei Xu quietly stood by Lin Yuan’s side and waited for him to recover.

In the Astronomical Parliament, Lin Yuan resembled a god. This was the first time that Bei Xu was witnessing Lin Yuan in a weak state.

Lin Yuan was only in such a weak state because he had come to save Bei Xu. This caused Bei Xu to once again be filled with gratitude toward Lin Yuan.

But besides gratitude, Bei Xu also felt a special emotion like how one felt toward the elders in their family.

After 20 minutes passed, Lin Yuan finally shakily got to his feet.

When he saw Bei Xu staring at him, Lin Yuan smiled back.

But once Lin Yuan saw the injuries covering Bei Xu’s body, he immediately frowned and said to Bei Xu, “Activate the imprint that I left on your body! When you do, you will be able to regrow your broken hand!”

While Lin Yuan spoke, he raised his hand and released a beam of green light that landed on Bei Xu and his subordinates.

Bei Xu knew that the imprint on his body had the ability to regrow limbs.

He had already activated it. But soon, Lin Yuan realized something was not right. This was because while their hands did regrow, their wounds did not heal fully.

This was the first obstacle that Lin Yuan encountered when using the Jasmine Lily’s healing abilities.

One of Bei Xu’s blood zombies told Lin Yuan hurriedly, “Lord, there are many stone needles and awls buried in our bodies. If they aren’t removed, it’ll be difficult for our wounds to heal!”

While the blood zombie spoke, he took out a curved knife and began poking and searching through his body. Bei Xu began doing the same.

Lin Yuan could not help with this because he was not in their shoes. He had no idea which exact parts of their bodies were in pain or where the stone needles and awls had been buried.

This sight shocked Lin Yuan.

When Bei Xu saw Lin Yuan’s face, he said hurriedly, “Leo, we are already used to such injuries. You don’t have to worry about us. Moreover, with your healing, our wounds will heal immediately once the stone needles and awls are removed.”

Bei Xu suddenly let out a low groan.

Lin Yuan saw that the stone awl that Bei Xu had just removed had taken out a large piece of his flesh with it. Lin Yuan immediately knew that this was because there were spikes on the stone awl.

Bei Xu was the group’s leader, so the butler had intentionally given him special treatment before he moved on to Bei Xu’s subordinates.

Luckily, Bei Xu had the Mountain Jade Imprint to replenish his vitality and speed up the recovery of his wounds. Otherwise, when Bei Xu removed these spiked stone awls, they would remove enough flesh to put together a whole other abdomen.

This was not what pained Lin Yuan the most.

Bei Xu’s nonchalant attitude pained Lin Yuan despite his serious injuries. This gave Lin Yuan a glimpse into Bei Xu’s life in the Grotto Continent.

Once the final few stone needles were removed, Bei Xu and the others could finally recover from their injuries.

Bei Xu smiled at Lin Yuan, hoping to liven up the atmosphere. “Leo, I feel so much lighter! When those stone needles and awls were in me, I felt like I was 15 kilograms heavier!”

At this point, Bei Xu could no longer hold back and hugged Lin Yuan.

Bei Xu had hugged Lin Yuan once in the past in the Astronomical Parliament to express his gratitude. However, at that time, he was making contact with Lin Yuan’s soul, while this time, it was Lin Yuan’s physical body.

Lin Yuan thought that Bei Xu was reeling from fright and patted his shoulder as he said, “Since your injuries have healed, let’s go. It’s time for us to get revenge for your sake. However, we don’t have much time, so we can’t seek out every person who has harmed you over the past year. Why don’t we take control of the situation here first before making further arrangements?”

Lin Yuan looked at Dazzling Silver and asked, “It shouldn’t be difficult for you to take control of this city, right?”

Dazzling Silver, Light Green Umber, Blue Umber, and Red Beauty nodded.

“Lord Thearch, we have already used our auras to sweep through the city. We can say with certainty no one in there can pose a threat to us. We will be able to secure control of the city within 12 hours. We will make them submit and bring them before you.

“When it comes to interrogation, that old fart can never hope to match up to us. If you allow us to carry out the interrogation, we will definitely be able to uncover all of this city’s secrets for you!”

Dazzling Silver, Light Green Umber, Blue Umber, and Red Beauty already knew just how beneficial it was to remain by Lin Yuan’s side.

Previously, the mermaids were always fighting among themselves. But now that they had joined Lin Yuan, they no longer only competed amongst themselves. They also saw Eternal Source and the other Samsara Realm Dictators from the marsh world as their rivals.

The marsh Samsara Realm Dictators had been by Lin Yuan’s side the longest.

Red Beauty and the rest could tell that Lin Yuan greatly trusted the marsh Samsara Realm Dictators. He clearly trusted them more than the Dictators from the other dimensional worlds.
