Xie Lin made every effort to clarify the situation to Lin Yuan, worried that his explanation might seem implausible. Fortunately, Lin Yuan didn’t dwell on the issue, which brought Xie Lin a sense of relief.

After Lin Yuan entered the City Lord Manor, Ling Muzhuo waited for half an hour and immediately mobilized people to guard the City Lord Manor closely.

At that moment, Ling Muzhuo would stop anyone who entered the City Lord Manor. Ling Muzhuo was deeply concerned about the impending clash between Lin Yuan and the Ancient Snake Gu Palace. He truly valued Lin Yuan, and there were indeed transactions between them.

Ling Muzhuo’s genuine concern for Lin Yuan stemmed from the potential value he could bring to Fortune Treasure Palace and Ling Muzhuo himself.

Ling Muzhuo was reluctant to lose such a valuable ally due to this operation. If something happened to Lin Yuan and he died in the hands of the Ancient Snake Gu Palace, Ling Muzhuo would not be able to find a Creator resource channel as convenient as Lin Yuan’s.

After bringing Lin Yuan to the City Lord Manor, Xie Lin heaved a sigh of relief. He brought Lin Yuan all the way to the banquet hall where the three of them had gathered. Xie Lin’s gaze immediately became sharp.

However, Xie Lin did not show it immediately. Instead, he spoke to Lin Yuan. “Young Master Lin, the Creator resources in your hands are very useful to me. I wonder if I can trade with you more?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan laughed in a frivolous manner. “City Lord Xie, you’re really humorous. Who doesn’t need the high-quality Creator resources in my hands? Even if lifeforms in the abyss obtain this pure spirit qi, they can use it to refine their own crystals. However, my Creator resources are not something that you can trade for at will. I’ll only entertain the idea if you can offer superior resources compared to before.”

Xie Lin sneered. “I don’t have any better resources on hand. I’ve already traded them all with you. This time when I called you here, it wasn’t for a trade but to directly obtain Creator resources from you. I believe, you should be willing to extend me credit for the sake of survival, shouldn’t you?”

As soon as Xie Lin finished speaking, several auras shot toward Lin Yuan and Autumn. These auras did not have any killing intent toward Lin Yuan. They even deliberately avoided him, afraid that if they were too strong, they would cause him to become demented or die here. If Lin Yuan died there, the trading channels would be cut off. However, these auras were filled with decisive killing intent toward Autumn.

Lin Yuan’s unyielding attitude caused the Ancient Snake Gu Palace’s Snake Lord to be dissatisfied.

The Snake Lords were prepared to test whether Lin Yuan, with his sole guard eliminated, would remain as audacious as he currently appeared without any support.

Despite being targeted by so many auras, Autumn did not immediately reveal his strength. Instead, he allowed these auras to target him. Then, he only used his strength to resist against the strongest among them. What Autumn wanted to do was to attract as many experts as possible from the Ancient Snake Gu Palace.

Ever since Lin Yuan entered the City Lord Manor, Winter had been prepared to receive him at any time.

The division of labor between Autumn and Winter was clear. Firstly, Autumn would lure the experts of the Ancient Snake Gu Palace, and Winter would prevent the experts from escaping. Then, they would surround the Ancient Snake Gu Palace from the outside.

At this moment, the two Snake Lords of Ancient Snake Gu Palace appeared.

The strength Autumn displayed greatly surprised the two Snake Lords, especially the weaker Snake Lord. He seemed to be extremely wary of Autumn, fearing that Autumn might have plans to use him as a scapegoat in case of resistance.

At this level of strength, these experts possessed remarkable resilience and almost always had some cards up their sleeves. Even those with slightly greater strength couldn’t guarantee gaining an advantage in a confrontation.

Both Snake Lords harbored murderous intent toward Lin Yuan, who stood beside Autumn.

Due to the Lifespan Mouse, Lin Yuan looked down on the Fate Transferring Nine Desolation Scorpion, which had strong side effects. Despite this, for other powerful lifeforms in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, embedding scorpion poison granted them near-immortality. Though their consciousness was limited, each implantation weakened them, and a large amount of pure spirit qi was needed to recover their strength, the Fate Transferring Nine Desolation Scorpion remained the most invaluable asset.

Before Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter went to that Class 1 world to establish Epoch God Palace, the news of the Fate Transferring Nine Desolation Scorpion appearing in the Sky Beyond the Clouds had spread.

It turned out that the Fate Transferring Nine Desolation Scorpion had been taken by the Ancient Snake Gu Palace. This was truly a stroke of immense fortune! It was unfortunate that the Ancient Snake Gu Palace’s fate wasn’t favorable, as they’d set their sights on Lord Saint!

Implanting the venom of the Fate Transferring Nine Desolation Scorpion indeed granted endless lifespan, but the corresponding cost was that one’s strength would not be able to progress further.

These Snake Lords had lived in the Sky Beyond the Clouds for countless years. After capturing them, as long as Lin Yuan could pry open their mouths, he could easily know the development of the Sky Beyond the Clouds over the years.

To Lin Yuan now, this was no less valuable than this top-grade blessed land itself as it would probably be very difficult to find old fellows like these Snake Lords in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. Even a faerie king wouldn’t have such a long lifespan.

These two Snake Lords were quite displeased with Xie Lin’s decision to gather these allies. However, they understood that this was indeed the best way to enhance their own strength and leverage. Anyway, these experts that Xie Lin had gathered wouldn’t be able to recognize them. If anyone did happen to recognize them, they could conveniently be killed for sustenance.

They could take this opportunity to eliminate these experts. If they could not be persuaded to pledge allegiance, using them as sustenance would still be a form of loyalty to the Ancient Serpent Gu Palace in its own way!

Xie Lin immediately gave the order after these experts arrived, “Now, go and take care of that guy over there. Before joining the alliance, you all swore to stand together with the alliance. I believe none of you will break your word. Now, if you help us out here, I’ll provide you with a substantial amount of resources. You’ll also have priority access to the resources produced by this top-grade blessed land!”

Xie Lin’s words were indeed enticing, but the experts present were not fools. They all possessed the ability to think for themselves. Autumn’s aura was clearly the strongest among them, much stronger than theirs. If they helped Xie Lin at this moment and offended such a powerful enemy, wouldn’t that be akin to inviting death? Who would want to die if they could live?

Xie Lin’s face darkened when he saw that the experts he had gathered had no intention of making a move.

Just then, Xie Lin heard Winter speak. “I can help. It’s just that I need more benefits when it’s done. I recognize him. He should be Young Master Lin, who trades Creator resources with various factions, right? If you can obtain pure Creator resources after this, I need you to give me a share!”

Winter was displaying an insane amount of greed outwardly, a greed that greatly displeased both Xie Lin and the two Snake Lords. If Xie Lin and the two Snake Lords really obtained pure spirit qi, they wouldn’t just refrain from trading with Winter. On the contrary, Winter would naturally become prey for the Snake Lords of the Ancient Serpent Gu Palace.

Although they weren’t going to give out this resource, Xie Lin and the two Snake Lords agreed to Winter’s request.

Even though Winter agreed to help, the other experts did not take action. They were already thinking of leaving the City Lord Manor. The main reason why they joined the City Lord Manor in the beginning was because they wanted to obtain a stable channel to obtain resources. However, the more they interacted with these experts, the more they felt that something was wrong with Xie Lin’s situation.

Winter had already stood behind the weaker Snake Lord and spoke. “His strength far surpasses mine. I can only help with feigned attacks or deal with that little guy over there. If you want me to fight him to the death, I can’t do it.”

Winter’s words once again gained the trust of the two Snake Lords. In such a critical situation, the two Snake Lords were no longer prepared to keep Lin Yuan alive. They immediately said, “In that case, help us deal with the little guy standing over there.”

“A guard who can’t even protect their master won’t have a place to go even if they leave here. Consider joining our Ancient Serpent Gu Palace. By joining us, I can grant you immortality. As long as you behave obediently, having an endless lifespan is not difficult at all. If you miss this opportunity, there won’t be such a good opportunity after your master’s death!”

This Snake Lord’s words were not only intended to recruit Autumn and gain his loyalty but also aimed to unsettle Autumn’s mind. Both Snake Lords could see Autumn’s loyalty to Lin Yuan. It was basically

impossible to recruit such a loyal person and make him betray his savior.
