Chapter 3116: Snake Lord in Control!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“Seal these two Snake Lords in the sealed ice crystals. My extremely cold roots power will make these two Snake Lords fall into a deep sleep. If we put the two of them in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, even if Autumn and I put a restriction, everything in the Spirit Lock spatial zone will probably be destroyed by them once they break free.

“If we happen to be fighting for this top grade blessed land, we won’t restrict them for a while. You can’t trust their promises until you have absolute control over them.”

Lin Yuan was still thinking about how to make arrangements for the remaining two Snake Lords, but Winter’s words had solved his problem.

Half an hour passed quickly.

The three Snake Lords used heaven and earth as paper and spiritual energy as ink to write rapidly on the paper. They manifested all the information they knew on the paper.

Lin Yuan, Autumn, and Winter each investigated the information written by the three Snake Lords. After investigation, the three of them had a clear understanding of the situation in the Sky Beyond the Clouds.

Winter couldn’t help but sigh. “Young Master, the situation in the Sky Beyond the Clouds has really changed a lot over the years. When I returned to the Sky Beyond the Clouds this time, I always had a feeling that it had become much more peaceful than before. I thought it was my imagination, but it seems that I didn’t feel wrong. The reason for this is that all factions are now focused on the abyss.

“The resources in the abyss were extremely abundant. However, because the environment was not suitable for lifeforms in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, and even experts found it difficult to obtain a way to replenish their energy in it, the abyss became a forbidden place. Now, the various factions in the Sky Beyond the Clouds had used many stupid methods to replenish their energy in the abyss. Hence, various factions start to send a large number of people to explore it.

“The exploration of the abyss sparked discontent among its inhabitants, leading powerful lifeforms there to seek revenge in their own manner. The conflict between the two factions escalated steadily.”

Winter believed that the exploration of the abyss had both positive and negative aspects. On the one hand, it offered the opportunity to acquire additional resources, which were crucial for the growth of a powerful lifeform. On the other hand, it triggered retaliation and conflict between the inhabitants of the Sky Beyond the Clouds and those of the abyss. This escalation of tensions greatly increased the likelihood of a large-scale war.

After reading the information organized by the three Snake Lords, Autumn said, “This guy in the middle of Young Master has reported the least information. Should I help you get rid of him? We’ve wasted a lot of time here. It’s time to leave. As for the others, we can give them a choice. Will they submit to us and cooperate with our subsequent actions, or will they wait to be eliminated like the Snake Lord in the middle?”

As he spoke, Autumn’s sharp gaze swept across these experts who had reached the pinnacle of the Holy Spirit level and even faintly surpassed the Holy Spirit level.

Autumn’s words sent a shiver down the spines of these experts. They harbored no illusions about the possibility of being eliminated. They were well aware that in such chaotic circumstances, it was wiser to steer clear of trouble. Refusal to comply would undoubtedly result in their silence.

These experts all came from different factions and had a high right to speak in these factions. Some of them were even leaders of factions.

Coming to South Face City to join the City Lord’s side was not to fight for this top grade blessed land, but to obtain some benefits from it.

These experts hailed from diverse factions and held significant sway within their respective groups. Some even held leadership positions. Their decision to align with the City Lord in South Face City wasn’t solely driven by the desire to vie for control of the top grade blessed land, but rather to secure personal benefits from the arrangement. They thought Xie Lin’s side was the safest, but they didn’t expect Xie Lin to come from an evil faction like the Ancient Snake Gu Palace.

In fact, from the moment the two Snake Lords arrived, these experts felt that they were being controlled by Xie Lin. Two of the experts tried to break free from Xie Lin’s control and resisted, but they were all suppressed by these Snake Lords.

If they stayed under Xie Lin’s control, it would undoubtedly not end well. In a way, Lin Yuan’s current actions could be considered a lifeline for these experts present. Without hesitation, they all chose to join Lin Yuan’s side.

Xie Lin looked at this scene in shock. In his heart, he didn’t want to believe the authenticity of everything in front of him. He had called these people over to be prey, but the real prey were actually the four Snake Lords.

One of the four Snake Lords had already died, and the other Snake Lord was most likely about to be killed.

Xie Lin’s faith crumbled. However, even if Lin Yuan harbored no affection for Xie Lin, he couldn’t kill him now. As the City Lord of South Face City, Xie Lin would be of great help to Lin Yuan’s next move.

Lin Yuan addressed Autumn and said, “Since the Snake Lord in the middle has given us the least information and is unwilling to be controlled by us, Autumn, send him off.”

The Snake Lord in the middle hurriedly begged for mercy, “I’m in charge of the deployment of combat members. I’ve never cared about the content of intelligence. I hope you can give me another chance. I’m willing to submit. I definitely won’t lose if it’s anything else!”

Normally, if a Snake Lord was willing to submit, Lin Yuan would definitely be willing to give it a chance. However, the current situation was different. If he did not kill a Snake Lord for the Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake, it would not be able to reach the level of controlling the other two Snake Lords. This Snake Lord who had the least information happened to be the weakest among the three Snake Lords, so dealing with this Snake Lord was the best choice.

Lin Yuan did not give the Snake Lord a chance, so Autumn did not hold back.

Lin Yuan asked the two Snake Lords, “Apart from the four of you, has the Ancient Snake Gu Palace arranged for others to head to South Face City?”

Upon hearing Lin Yuan’s question, the two fearful Snake Lords hurriedly said, “Apart from the four of us, Lord, there are no other arrangements in the Ancient Snake Gu Palace. Currently, only the four of us have truly awakened.”

As the Snake Lord spoke, he could not help but sigh. Previously, when he found out that a top grade blessed land was about to be opened in South Face City, he had a completely disdainful attitude and believed that no faction possessed the strength to compete with Ancient Snake Gu Palace.

However, before they could even act, two Snake Lords died, and their own defeat was declared when the opposing side took control of their actions. This outcome was truly lamentable.

Upon hearing that, Lin Yuan’s heart stirred, “There are a total of eight Snake Lords in your Ancient Snake Gu Palace. Since the other four Snake Lords are in deep sleep, I’m very curious where the other four Snake Lords are. How can we wake them up? I’m sure you’d love to see your old pals get together. I can give you a chance.”

The two Snake Lords understood the meaning behind Lin Yuan’s words. He was clearly asking them to reveal the positions of the other Snake Lords. He was preparing to wipe out Ancient Snake Gu Palace once and for all!

If they revealed the location of the other four sleeping Snake Lords, it would be equivalent to betraying their old friends. However, given the current situation, it was definitely impossible not to reveal it.

The strongest Snake Lord said, “Lord, the other four Snake Lords are on Snake Island, the base camp of our Ancient Snake Gu Palace. The reason the four of us who woke up this time went out and coveted this top grade blessed land is that we wanted to use this opportunity to revive the other four Snake Lords. If you want to find them, I can bring you to Snake Island.

“It’s just that it requires a large amount of pure spirit qi to revive them. Moreover, there’s a certain requirement for the concentration of this spirit qi. It’s very difficult to revive them. But Lord, if you can revive them, they will definitely be very willing to submit to you. If you have the intention to plot against the Supreme Poison Valley, I think we should be able to help you!”

In a situation where the other party was completely in control, since there was no room for resistance, smart people knew how to obtain opportunities for themselves. The Snake Lord who spoke was a smart individual. It was a publicly acknowledged fact in the Sky Beyond the Clouds that snake-species feys were cruel. However, they were also very obedient after being conquered by experts. It could be said that the snake species was an extremely strong species.

Lin Yuan was indeed very interested in the other four Snake Lords because they could be directly controlled by the future Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake, allowing Lin Yuan to obtain many high-end combat power.

“We’ll talk about this later. The two of you will be sealed in the ice crystal Winter created for the time being. I’ll let you out later. It won’t be too late to bring me to the lair of the Ancient Snake Gu Palace when that time comes!”

After taking in the two Snake Lords, Lin Yuan looked at Xie Lin. Feeling too lazy to talk nonsense with Xie Lin, he directly let the Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake control Xie Lin. The Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake couldn’t control the two Snake Lords, but it was not a big deal to control Xie Lin.

After the Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake controlled Xie Lin, Lin Yuan proceeded to take control of the holy spirits and Holy Spirit experts. Then, these experts continued to follow under Xie Lin’s command, maintaining the original alliance just like before.

Currently, no faction within the Sky Beyond the Clouds was aware that the Ancient Snake Gu Palace was now under Lin Yuan’s control. This operation not only allowed Lin Yuan to take control of the Ancient Snake Gu Palace, but it also ensured that he would have a greater chance of obtaining it in the future.

At the same time, Lin Yuan gained a certain understanding of the situation in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. He learned that what these factions really cared about was not the top grade blessed land itself, but a ruin hidden there. This top grade blessed land was most likely to suppress this ruin and prevent the existence of this ruin from appearing.

This information was obtained from the three Snake Lords who were trying to survive. At that time, the three Snake Lords were controlled and there was no possibility of them escaping.

Lin Yuan felt that this information was most likely true. The veracity of this information could soon be verified.

When Lin Yuan left the City Lord Manor and arrived at the entrance, he saw Ling Muzhuo waiting there with an anxious expression.

Ling Muzhuo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Yuan. “Brother Lin, how’s your situation? Did those fellows from the Ancient Snake Gu Palace make things difficult for you?”

Upon seeing Ling Muzhuo’s genuine concern, Lin Yuan did not hide the truth. Although he did not elaborate on the process, Lin Yuan told Ling Muzhuo that he had cleared out the Ancient Snake Gu Palace.

The reason he did not mention that the Ancient Snake Gu Palace was under his control now was that Lin Yuan would not be able to get the help of these two Snake Lords during the competition for the top grade paradise and the ruins. Hence, there was no point in saying it.

Ling Muzhuo couldn’t conceal his astonishment upon hearing Lin Yuan’s words. He had never expected that Lin Yuan would be able to get rid of the Ancient Snake Gu Palace members with Autumn. However, this was good news for Ling Muzhuo. At the same time, it made him feel that he should be on good terms with Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan asked Ling Muzhuo tentatively, “Brother Ling, your Fortune Treasure Palace has many channels to obtain information. Can you help me investigate why so many factions are gathered in South Face City? Is it really just for this top grade blessed land? If it’s really just for this top grade land, Faerie Institution wouldn’t have secretly arranged for a faerie king to accompany them, right?”

Lin Yuan’s words made Ling Muzhuo’s expression turn serious. “Brother Lin, where did you get this information? Our Fortune Treasure Palace has not heard that, besides the two high faeries, Faerie Institution also has a faerie king following them in secret.”

Apart from abundant resources, Fortune Treasure Palace had always been proud of its rich channels. However, Ling Muzhuo did not know what Lin Yuan was talking about. If he knew that Faerie Institution had sent a faerie king, Fortune Treasure Palace would have definitely sen more than three guardians to contend for this top grade blessed land.

After spending some time interacting with Lin Yuan, Ling Muzhuo could clearly see that Lin Yuan was a very prudent individual. He wouldn’t speak unless he had accurate information to back his words.

Lin Yuan didn’t mention that this information was discovered by Spring. Even to an ally like Ling Muzhuo, Lin Yuan wouldn’t casually expose Spring’s involvement. Thus, he found a random excuse, “I obtained this information from the Snake Lords of the Ancient Snake Gu Palace. The news is most likely true. These Snake Lords have been lying in ambush in South Face City for some time. They should have a

good understanding of the various factions heading to South Face City. Therefore, I have a feeling that these factions are not gathered here just for this top grade blessed land. Brother Ling, you didn’t receive any news before?”

Ling Muzhuo laughed bitterly. “Brother Lin, do I look like I received the information in advance? If I had obtained the information in advance, how could I not have brought guardians? If Faerie Institution has really brought along a faerie king, then it is definitely not as simple as a top grade blessed land. There must be some other reason that we don’t understand! Leave this to me. I’ll try to see if I can find out the truth in two days.”

Initially, Ling Muzhuo’s expression was still rather calm. But now, Ling Muzhuo had already realized that things were gradually spiraling out of control.
