Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

Chapter 403: Let’s Break the Contract!

Fei Qianqiong could definitely be called a veteran king-class expert. As someone with the third-highest ranking in the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce, he had a notorious reputation outside.

Just as the Mother of Bloodbath had suddenly revealed its aura, Listen and Fei Qianqiong were shocked as well. However, Listen’s shock was different from Fei Qianqiong’s. Fei Qianqiong was in panic and fear, while Listen was pleasantly surprised.

Listen looked at Lin Yuan and realized that he was sitting there indifferently, without the slightest change in his expression. It was as though the king-class expert’s sudden attack was merely the wind brushing past and wasn’t worth mentioning.

Previously, Listen had only seen Lin Yuan inadvertently reveal the foundation of his resources.

However, when Fei Qianqiong shouted, ‘A Suzerain/Myth Breed fey’, it was enough to prove that Lin Yuan’s foundation in terms of martial force was even deeper than that of resources.

Listen moved his gaze away from Lin Yuan and once again glanced at the Mother of Bloodbath and the Blood-Toothed Cricket, which was twitching and struggling on the ground.

Although Listen had never heard of a Myth Breed fey’s Law Stripping and Same-Type Control toward a Fantasy Breed fey, his grandfather had shared some things with him.

Law Stripping referred to the Law Rune stripping away the willpower within the law that belonged to a Fantasy Breed fey.

Same-Type Control referred to the superior same-type fey dominating the inferior one.

Although Listen did not know what species of fey the Mother of Bloodbath was, from the fact that it could strip away the Blood-Toothed Cricket’s bloodline and was able to use Same-Type Control, it was evidently a Suzerain/Myth Breed insect-species fey that controlled the blood law.

Fei Qianqiong could now clearly sense that he had lost control of the Blood-Toothed Cricket, but the Mind-Controlling Silkworm Gu on his other shoulder was still under his control.

He vaguely glanced at the youth sitting on the sofa without uttering a word. At the same time, he took a heartbreaking glance at the Blood-Toothed Cricket on the ground. Its Willpower Rune had been stripped away, and its quality was no longer Fantasy Breed.

A hint of madness flashed in Fei Qianqiong’s eyes.

He did not know about the identity of the youth sitting on the sofa. However, just by looking at the style of the mask on his face, he could tell that his status was clearly higher than this Suzerain/Myth fey in its human form.

Just then, Fei Qianqiong heard a peculiar and pleasant voice ring beside his ear.

“You’ve raised the Blood-Toothed Cricket well. Even if it has been demoted, this Diamond IV/Legend Blood-Toothed Cricket is still somewhat useful.

“So destroy your spiritual energy fragment to break the contract and let this Blood-Toothed Cricket become a wild fey.”

The tone in which the Mother of Bloodbath said this was as if it was talking about a very common thing. However, these words were like a command to Fei Qianqiong that carried weight.

Although Fei Qianqiong had been prepared not to leave this room alive and a hint of madness flashed in his eyes, he couldn’t help but shiver after hearing the Mother of Bloodbath’s words.

What was the difference between self-destroying one’s spiritual energy fragment to break a contract with a specific fey and letting a spirit qi professional die?

After the fey and the contractor formed a contract, it was akin to a lifetime bond. However, if a spirit qi professional destroyed the spiritual energy fragment in their mind with a specific fey, it would be akin to breaking the bridge of the previous contract with the particular fey, and the contracted fey could regain its freedom by doing so.

Furthermore, it would be akin to him seriously injuring his spiritual roots, which couldn’t be healed. This meant that the spirit qi professional could never contract a fey again in the future. In serious cases, it might even affect the contract of the other feys.

It wasn’t unheard of for spirit qi professionals to destroy the spiritual fragments with a particular fey and break the contract with it.

However, this was usually the case when a spirit qi professional was facing a desperate situation and knew that they couldn’t survive. Thus, they would destroy the spiritual fragment with the contracted fey, allowing it to revert to a wild fey. This would prevent the fey from losing its life due to the contract when he died.

However, how could Fei Qianqiong be willing to destroy the spiritual fragment between him and the Blood-Toothed Cricket obediently?

When the Mother of Bloodbath saw that Fei Qianqiong was not moving, it reached out toward the air and gently touched it. The moment it did that, its nails turned as red as sticky blood plasma.

While the Mother of Bloodbath reached out to touch, Fei Qianqiong’s miserable howl sounded in this room. It was unusually harsh, as if he had been subject to the cruelest punishment in the world. It only lasted for a moment, and Fei Qianqiong could no longer howl as his body continued to twist into a strange arc on the ground.

The Mother of Bloodbath walked up to Lin Yuan and said, “This old man still has a Mind-Controlling Silkworm Gu that can be used. Just now, he refused to destroy the spiritual fragment obediently, so he must still be thinking of using the Mind-Controlling Silkworm Gu for ill intentions.”

After saying that, the Mother of Bloodbath grabbed the fat red-gold Mind-Controlling Silkworm Gu. Its red-gold body looked very smooth, covered with dark-red spots.

Every time the Mind-Controlling Silkworm Gu used its larvae to parasitize the target’s body to control their lives, a dark-red spot would appear on its back. The red spots were packed together, almost in patches.

There were at least 1,000 of them. In other words, thousands of people’s lives were in the hands of Fei Qianqiong now.

If he wanted those controlled people to die, he would only need to give the Mind-Controlling Silkworm Gu a command. The larvae lurking in the target’s body would penetrate through the target’s heart.

Lin Yuan looked at the rolling Fei Qianqiong, whose body was twisting into a strange shape on the ground, without feeling the slightest pity for him.

If the Mother of Bloodbath were not more powerful than Fei Qianqiong, it would’ve died thanks to the Blood-Toothed Cricket’s abilities.

The Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce had been targeting the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce, and the latter had always been in a passive position.

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but be doubtful. The Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce was already a rising faction, so it would be more profitable just to do something than to target the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce.

Why did the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce continue to pursue the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce, which had only an empty shell left?
