Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

Chapter 1118 Zheng Ji is Suffocated

There was a tradition that every faction that was destroyed on the ultimate fighting ground would be carved as totems on the stone columns.

Every stone column had at least 40 totems carved into it.

The sheer number of the totems on the stone columns was evidence of how many factions had ended with their blood spilled on the ultimate fighting ground.

Soon, the Zheng family would join the ranks of those totems.

The Snow-Necked White Egret trembled as it flew to the designated area for avian-type feys to land.

Lin Yuan saw that the area was already full of various avian-type feys, and it took some time for the Snow-Necked White Egret to find a place to land.

He was considerably stunned by all the people that had come to spectate the blood pact ultimate fight between Sky City and the Zheng family.

There was still an hour to go before the blood pact ultimate fight officially started, and as one of the stars, Sky City had only just arrived.

Yet, the spectators had arrived even earlier than the stars.

Lin Yuan and the rest immediately headed to the entrance of the ultimate fighting ground. Along the way, many people gawked at them. Although this was the first time that the group was wearing the uniform designed by Wen Yu and Lu Pinru, their mask already revealed their identity.

Many people slowed down their pace to mumble under their breaths as though they were discussing something in secret.

At this moment, a voice from nearby exclaimed, “I waited for you people forever. You’re finally here!”

Lin Yuan looked around until his gaze landed on Sun Ningxiang and two girls.

The two girls who were with Sun Ningxiang were vaguely familiar to Lin Yuan. He recalled seeing them at Sky City’s private faction territory.

Sun Ningxiang knew that Lin Yuan was the City Lord of Sky City.

She was sure to watch the blood pact ultimate fight that involved not only the Zheng family but also the Miao family that supported the Zheng family.

However, Lin Yuan did not expect Sun Ningxiang to be waiting for him at the ultimate fighting ground.

By doing this, she was openly declaring that Condense Fairy Orchard and Sky City were on the same side.

Sun Ningxiang walking over to Lin Yuan also represented the deep bond between Condense Fairy Orchard and Sky City.

This was the second time Sun Ningxiang declared her alliance with Sky City.

However, the first time had been on Star Web, while it was in real world this time.

Sun Ningxiang smiled at Lin Yuan, but she was momentarily confused about how she should address him.

Eventually, she settled on not addressing him. Instead, she said with a worried tone, “The Miao family is definitely supporting the Zheng family in this blood pact ultimate fight. The members of the Zheng family have been staying at the Miao family’s old residence in the Royal Capital even before they decided to issue the blood pact ultimate fight challenge.”

Sun Ningxiang was silent for a moment before she went on to say, “Zheng Kaiyuan was accepted into our small circle. If he has any brains, he should have made use of that lucky opportunity to gain authority in the Miao family.”

She mentioned the last part because she felt that she and Lin Yuan were on good enough terms. Otherwise, her words could have been misconstrued as interfering in Sky City’s internal affairs.

Lin Yuan’s lips curled upward, and he said, “Thank you, Sun Ningxiang. I’m ready.”

He and Sun Ningxiang headed toward the ultimate fighting ground together.

Just as they were about to enter the ultimate fighting ground, Lin Yuan saw the Zheng family. They seemed to be waiting for someone.

Zheng Ji’s expression was ashen.

He had led the Zheng family to the ultimate fighting ground early to separate themselves from the Miao family.

Ever since he had come to the Royal Capital and moved into the Miao family’s old residence, rumors regarding the Zheng family had been flying all over Star Web. Some rumors were about how the Zheng family relied on the Miao family and that there was no way that the Zheng family would have been able to make a name for themselves in Indigo Azure City if they had not had the Miao family’s support.

Zheng Ji had always lived by his pride, and he could not take any external criticisms or insults.

He was unbelievably upset by these rumors as the Miao family had barely helped the Zheng family all these years.

Zheng Ji had always begrudged Miao Zhi for being unable to bring over the Miao family’s supplies to the Zheng family. Yet, she had no qualms using the Zheng family’s resources as she pleased.

Thus, the rumors on Star Web were a punch to his pride.

When they were on their way to the ultimate fighting ground, Zheng Ji calculated the Zheng family’s chances of winning over and over.

Since Zheng Kaiyuan had managed to borrow Han Tianhe and Liu Yanshan, Zheng Ji was more than fully assured that the Zheng family’s victory was inevitable.

However, the only representative from the Zheng family would be Zheng Ji, and there would definitely be people criticizing them after the blood pact ultimate fight.

In the future, it was likely that people would automatically think of the Miao family as the Zheng family’s support whenever the Zheng family was mentioned.

A few generations later, the Zheng family would be completely swallowed by the Miao family.

This thought made Zheng Ji’s chest tighten.

Upon arrival, Zheng Kaiyuan had suddenly said that he wanted to wait for Sky City to arrive by the entrance.

Zheng Ji was well aware of what Zheng Kaiyuan had in mind. Zheng Kaiyuan clearly wanted revenge for his broken teeth.

They could just settle all their grievances during the blood pact ultimate fight. It would cause more problems for the Zheng family if they clashed with Sky City now.

The participants that the Zheng family were sending out were not all from the Zheng

family.

After the blood pact ultimate fight ended, this premature fight would make the Zheng family seem like bullies.

Zheng Kaiyuan had completely disregarded the Zheng family’s reputation for his personal vendetta. As such, Zheng Ji felt that Zheng Kaiyuan was no longer fit to become the leader of the Zheng family.

Moreover, Miao Zhi had immediately supported Zheng Kaiyuan’s suggestion.

Since the blood pact ultimate fight was just before them, the Zheng family had no choice but to rely on the Miao family. Although Zheng Ji was the Zheng family’s leader, he could not openly rebuke Miao Zhi.

This made Zheng Ji quake with suppressed anger.

All he could do was sit by and watch as his grandson provoked Sky City.

By this time, Zheng Kaiyuan had already seen Lin Yuan and the rest.
